"That woman went out these few days, could it be that she was going to kill someone?"
"And why would someone come knocking on my door? Could it be that the place of death is not far from here?"
He couldn't help but look towards Vermouth's bedroom. His eyes flickered a few times, and he wondered whether he should sneak in to take a look.
Because in his impression, Vermouth rarely opened the door of this bedroom. Unlike when she teased him, she always kept it secretive when facing this room, as if there was something hidden inside.
"call……"
"Forget it, forget it. I can't assume that woman is a kind person just because she teases me all the time. I'm not strong enough now. If I see something I shouldn't see, I'll be in trouble. Even if I don't die, I'll probably be forced to join the Black Organization. It's better not to be so curious."
Chapter 0024: Hoshino-san, do you have any problem with me?
a new day.
Hoshino Bai Ze came to the classroom.
Yukiko and Eri Kisaki arrived early as usual and were sitting in their seats chatting with Rui Sheng Lei.
"Bai Ze, good morning." x2
The two women greeted in unison.
"Yukiko, Eri, good morning." Hoshino Shirazawa responded with a smile, sat down at his seat, looked at Lai Sheng Lei, and was about to greet her, but she got there first.
"Bai Ze, good morning." Lai Shenglei changed the address very naturally, without any awkwardness at all.
Hoshino Bai Ze was slightly startled, and then he looked into her eyes, as if he understood something, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lei, good morning."
"Bai Ze, you didn't come yesterday, and Mr. Ikebo was complaining."
"Well, I'll apologize to her after school. I hope Miss Ikenami can forgive me for being absent."
Hoshino Bai Ze was helpless.
It’s really inconvenient these days. There are only pagers, landlines and mobile phones.
The problem is that he doesn't have any of these three things, which makes it difficult to communicate over long distances, and it's even inconvenient to ask for leave.
"My question." Hibiki Eri spoke up: "I will go and explain things to Miss Ikenami after school. You didn't go because of me."
After saying that, she thought about what happened yesterday and a faint pink appeared on her face.
Even Yukiko felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, she was trying hard to forget it, but when her best friend reminded her, the clear picture and feeling came back to her mind again.
I couldn't help but glare at Hoshino Bai Ze.
Hoshino Bai Ze pretended not to see it, took out a book from his bag, and changed the subject directly: "By the way, how was everyone's midterm exam?"
Yes.
It's the midterm exam.
There is no way around it. The high schools here have three semesters a year, which can be said to be very short. The semesters and the final exams are all very fast, and the holidays are also very fast.
Lai Sheng Lei smiled: "I think it's okay."
Hibiki Eri answered casually: "It's just so-so, not difficult at all."
Yukiko glanced at the two top students, then looked at Hoshino Bai Ze, and couldn't help laughing: "I should be much better than Bai Ze."
"..."
The corner of Hoshino Bai Ze's mouth twitched.
that is the truth.
Among the four of them, Kisaki Eri is the best student, followed by Raiu Rei, then Yukiko, and finally he is the last.
quickly.
The school bell rang.
The first class was the Chinese class taught by our homeroom teacher, Yukino Momokaori.
As always, Yukino Baixiangli used her gentle voice to explain the knowledge in the textbooks. The whole atmosphere was like a spring breeze, making people want to indulge in it.
But wait until the class is over.
The moment she put down her book, she seemed to grow colder. She looked at Hoshino Bai Ze and said:
"Hoshino-san, please come to my office."
"Ok."
Hoshino Bai Ze put his books away, and under the gazes of many people in the class, he followed Yukino Bai Xiangli out of the classroom and came to the teacher's office.
"Hoshino-san." Yukino Momoka sat on a chair, took out a piece of paper, and gently handed it over: "Take a look, do you have anything to say?"
Hoshino Bai Ze looked at the contents on the paper.
Actually, it’s nothing big, it’s just the transcript of this midterm exam.
After a long while, he couldn't figure out what was going on, and asked in confusion: "Teacher Xue Ye, what's wrong?"
Yukino Momoka sighed and said helplessly: "Hoshino-san, do you have any opinion about me? Or did I do something that you disliked?"
"Ah? No? Mr. Yukino, why do you say that?"
"Then take a look at your Chinese grades. Although your grades in other subjects are not very good, when compared with the subject I teach, aren't they a bit too far behind?"
"Uh……"
Hoshino Bai Ze suddenly realized, he didn't expect it to be like this.
But there is nothing that can be done about it, after all, he can speak the language of this country and write its own characters.
They all learned these skills automatically due to a mysterious force when they crossed over, but in terms of their actual level, it is probably just that of an elementary school student.
Not to mention Chinese, which includes ancient Chinese, modern Chinese, and Chinese. Except for Chinese, which he is very familiar with, he is not familiar with the others at all. There is nothing he can do about his poor test scores.
After all, the exam cannot just be about Chinese.
"Xingye, I don't mean to blame you. I just want to remind you that if you don't work hard, you won't be able to apply for a scholarship with your current grades."
"I see."
"If possible, please ask classmate Fei for advice. She is the top student in your first year of high school in this midterm exam, and her grades in all subjects are very good. You sit close to her, so you can ask her for help if you encounter difficulties."
"Hmm~"
Hoshino Bai Ze nodded in agreement.
There was nothing more to say here. Xue Ye Bai Xiangli gave a few more instructions and asked Xing Ye Bai Ze to go back.
As soon as I arrived at the classroom door.
Then I met Kogoro Mori.
This made Hoshino Bai Ze a little suspicious. After all, he met him the last time he came back from the office, and he met him again this time. He really wondered if this guy was waiting here on purpose.
"Hoshino-san, do you want to play baseball together after school this afternoon?"
"Thanks, Maori-san, I don't have time this afternoon, I have to go to work."
"That's it, okay then."
"Ah."
Hoshino Shirazawa enters the classroom.
In fact, he is not very sociable in this class.
Apart from the three girls including Kisaki Eri and Mori Kogoro, he had basically never spoken to other classmates and couldn't even call out many people's names.
Of course, it’s not that no one had approached him before, but his cold attitude discouraged them from making friends.
Now, Hoshino Bai Ze ignores them, and they act as if he doesn't exist, and the two sides don't interfere with each other.
"white......"
Yukiko had just said one word when she was interrupted by Hoshino Shirazawa:
"Stop, stop, stop asking. Let me tell you. The reason why Ms. Yukino asked me to go is very simple. It's because I did so poorly in the subject she taught. So, she wanted me to ask Eri for more advice when I have time. Eri, I'll trouble you a lot when I encounter difficulties in the future."
"..."
Yukiko didn't say anything. She felt like ants were crawling all over her body and waved her fist at him.
Kisaki Eri glanced over secretly, and when she noticed that Hoshino Shirazawa was also looking at her, she immediately looked away, gently pushed up her glasses, and answered calmly:
"No problem, I can still help you with Chinese."
Tears in the next life.
After taking a quick look at Hoshino Shirazawa and Kisaki Eri, I always felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little weird.
But she couldn't figure out what it was exactly, anyway it made her feel very uncomfortable.
Chapter 0025: Dinner together in the evening
After school.
Hoshino Shirazawa came to Ikenami Shizuka.
But this time, both Kisaki Eri and Yukiko came.
For a moment, this quiet courtyard seemed very lively.
Xingye Bai Ze whispered to Lai Sheng Lei: "Xiao Lei, please ask them to go back. I'm afraid it will backfire."
Don't blame him for thinking that.
After all, it was I who was absent from work first.
As a result, today, both Eri Kisaki and Yukiko came together to help plead for mercy.
Under normal circumstances, it is like coercing people, which will make them feel uncomfortable to some extent.
There is even more important point. This yard belongs to Kisaki Eri. How can Ikenami Shizuka not give her face when the time comes?
"Bai Ze, you don't understand girls' minds at all."
Lai Shenglei smiled and replied: "You can see the same thing, can't we see it? In your eyes, don't we even understand this little bit of human nature?"
"Ok."
Since that's what has been said, Hoshino Bai Ze can only leave it to fate and hope that things don't get messed up.
As soon as they entered the yard.
They saw Ikenami Shizuka wielding the katana in practice, making a series of strong sounds of breaking through the air, which made their brows twitch.
Sudden.
She stopped, swung her knife, looked at everyone suspiciously and asked:
"What's going on today? They're all running towards me. I thought there were only two little ones, but now there are two big ones."
"Ok?"
Several people were a little surprised. Before they could ask any questions, a wooden door not far away opened and a figure rushed over:
"Big sister, you are done with school~"
Lai Shenglei hugged her sister who rushed over, looked down at her and asked, "Xiao Ai, why are you running here instead of going home after school?"
As he said this, he also looked at Lai Sheng Tong who was following slowly behind him: "Xiao Tong, you too, why are you running around with Xiao Ai."
Lai Sheng Tong said helplessly: "You know I can't control her at all. I say one thing and she will say ten back."
"Xiaolei, are they your sisters?" Yukiko asked curiously.
Lai Shenglei nodded.
Then he introduced his younger sister to the two of them.
There is no need for Hoshino Bai Ze, after all, we already knew each other last time.
While they were chatting, he came in front of Ikebo Jinghua, scratched his head, and said awkwardly:
"Ms. Ikenami, I'm sorry I didn't come yesterday and didn't inform you."
