The smile on Natsume's face gradually disappeared. Not only were the scores the same, but who on earth came up with this evaluation of the rumored girlfriend?
"Rumored girlfriend?" Shiina Mahiru asked lightly.
After noticing the terrifying look in Shiina's eyes and realizing that there were other rumored girlfriends in the classroom, Totsuka Ayaka's face tightened and she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Well, I'm going to the bathroom first. Come on Natsume!"
"..."
What sin had he committed? Not only did he have a rumored girlfriend, but the object of his jealousy was also so strange.
"Is this misunderstanding caused by being alone in the club with Yukinoshita-san?" Mahiru made a reasonable guess.
"perhaps……"
"It seems that my choice was right. In order to prevent you from falling into such speculation, Natsume, your service club must have three people."
Is it because the triangle is stable?
Natsume Rin was thinking about all sorts of things, but she seemed to be doing fine. It should be because of the relationship between her family members last night that she had a good tolerance level.
During the lunch break, Shizuka Hiratsuka called him over specifically, with a very proud expression on her face.
"Unfortunately, the first place this time is not undisputed." Natsume was not satisfied with his own results and said regretfully.
He later went to look at the rankings. Originally, Sobu High School did not announce the results, only the rankings. However, such high rankings were rare, so the school made an exception and put the two of them together, and also marked the scores in each subject.
He was very good in other subjects and crushed Yukino perfectly, but he made a small mistake in history.
Originally, this kind of memory test was what he was best at, but who could have imagined that there would be a large number of questions from the Warring States period!
Just because it's first grade, does that mean you feel world history is beyond the standard?
It's simply too much.
"It's already very impressive. Are you satisfied with the new person I found for you? Shiina has just transferred in and needs your good guidance." Shizuka Hiratsuka asked proudly, shaking her white coat.
This reminded Natsume that she was the culprit of yesterday's trouble. Although he knew that without the teacher's guidance, Shiina Mahiru would follow sooner or later, it did not affect Natsume's complaints about her.
"Teacher Hiratsuka, there are so many clubs in the school that can help new students integrate into the campus. Why would you think of throwing her into our service club!"
"You have to know that our Service Club is an elite club, and all members must rank among the best in the school..."
"Because you are all problem children." Shizuka Hiratsuka's words shut up Natsume, who was about to brag about the value of the club, and then another sentence made him doubt his life.
"That's why I wanted to ask a normal person like Shiina-san to change the atmosphere among you."
Normal people...
Actually, it's not normal.
After asking Mr. Hiratsuka for the meal money to no avail, Natsume left the office in disappointment. As for the original agreement, she did not completely cancel it. She planned to find an opportunity to treat him during the school trip.
"Welcome. Since this is your first time entering as a member of the club, we have specially prepared a ceremony for you."
Natsume Rin pushed open the door of the activity room and said with a smile to Mahiru who was following behind her.
Yukino, who should have stood up to welcome him, just sat there as usual, watching him do these things in his own territory, pinching her chin and continuing to read.
"Thank you!" Shiina Mahiru cooperated very well. She held up the hem of her pleated skirt with her right hand and gave Natsume Rin a ladylike return gesture. "But Natsume, you still haven't told me what our club activities are?"
Although she did not join any clubs in the girls' school, she was still aware of the normal activities, but they had nothing to do with the strange rituals he talked about last night.
Natsume Rin was greatly encouraged. The reason why she had kept the secret until today was to carry out the ultimate humiliation in front of Yukinoshita Yukino!
"Shiina-san, our main activity in the service club is to stay in this classroom and drink tea. When a classmate comes to us to ask a question, we will run over to help like idiots!"
It’s true that he likes drinking tea very much, and the tea brewed by Yukino tastes very good, which should also be praised.
But Natsume Rin really didn't expect that the club activities would remain unchanged for several months.
As for the matter with Senior Eriri, he had classified it as a private activity because it took up his vacation time.
"...drink tea?"
"Yes, remember to bring a cup when you come tomorrow. The sleepy black tea that the minister brews tastes pretty good."
"You're really just drinking tea." Shiina Mahiru said helplessly, rubbing her forehead.
I originally thought it was jargon, but I didn't expect that I was thinking too complicated.
"Natsume Rin! Sit down." Seeing that he was going to continue to slander the Service Club, Yukino, who could no longer bear it, finally issued a warning.
Natsume Rin pulled up a chair and sat down obediently. Mahiru also found the seat she had left yesterday. She looked at the abandoned tables and chairs that occupied half of the activity room, with a thoughtful expression.
"Shiina-san, drinking tea is just a way for us to kill time. It's not like there are no serious club activities."
After all, he was a new recruit, so Yukino was very patient in correcting his views.
When he looked at Natsume Rin again, his expression was no longer good: "Since you hate drinking tea every day, then I'll help you find the cultural festival. You're not slow at hiding, right?"
"This is something that should have been decided a long time ago, but it has been delayed until today. We have to come up with a proposal anyway. Shiina-san can also help with the reference."
This person really needs to be punished. She hates the stable life in the club and keeps clamoring to do something big. But when she finds a way to change, she becomes too lazy to go out again.
Chapter 72 The Charm of Questionnaires
"How about a questionnaire? I've thought of the questions for you. Just print them out and distribute them around the campus." Natsume Rin raised her hand and said energetically.
"Natsume-san, I know you hate cultural festivals..."
"Nonsense, I love the cultural festival the most." Natsume refuted Yukino's nonsense, "I just hate doing boring things during the cultural festival."
What he wants is an activity where he can be carefree and just wander around with the crowd, rather than being a club animal who has to stay in a specific activity classroom on festive days, wondering whether the activity is popular with everyone, and worrying about sales!
"Then you should come up with interesting activities instead of using questionnaires to deal with us." Yukino touched her forehead and shook her head at Shiina Mahiru who was full of interest: "After staying for a long time, you will find that Natsume is actually a very unreliable guy."
Shiina Mahiru smiled and thought to herself, "I've already realized this, but Natsume-kun only acts weird when it comes to unimportant things."
"Natsume, the cultural festival is a very important event after all. I really want to leave good memories with you. Questionnaires are too cliché." Shiina Mahiru said cutely, blinking her eyes.
Good memories...
Yukinoshita Yukino, who had unknowingly become a light bulb, frowned to the sky when she heard this word.
She had guessed that Natsume had a good relationship with her, but she didn't expect it to develop to this extent?
Feeling two gazes with completely different emotions, Natsume Rin smiled awkwardly. He didn't know how to deal with it anymore, but the coldness in his head was getting heavier.
He doesn't want to eat the hatchet!
"You are making such arbitrary evaluations. Don't underestimate the questionnaire!" Natsume Rin slammed the table and stood up with a stern look.
Although his original intention was to break the atmosphere, when he actually took action, he felt that his posture was very handsome and could be put in a light novel as the scene where the male protagonist stands up and slams the table.
Unfortunately, the two light novel heroines in front of him didn't buy it.
"Natsume-san, you should go to the hospital." Yukino looked at him sympathetically.
"Natsume, is it because you didn't get enough rest? It's all my fault." Shiina Mahiru raised her hands shyly.
...The atmosphere is becoming increasingly weird. And Shiina-san, if you continue to tease Director Yukinoshita intentionally or unintentionally, I feel that the owner of the hatchet will be changed.
Yukinoshita Yukino held the book stronger and stronger, and looking at Shiina Mahiru with a kind face, she seemed to understand why Natsume said that she had no friends.
Even she has to add a classmate behind her at school. This person already calls her by her name. It feels like if things continue to develop, it will only be a matter of time before she calls her Rin in front of all the classmates in the school.
And what did she imply?
Yukino kept reminding herself not to get angry, otherwise she would fall into her trap. Besides, Natsume Rin was just her adopted brother, and she should have been accustomed to his romantic debts.
Having said that, she regained her normal expression and looked at Shiina Mahiru approaching Natsume Rin intimately, and curiously watching him write something. She wanted to add a new rule to the club rules.
【It is forbidden for club members to have romantic relationships!!!】
"Huh, now let me break your prejudice against questionnaires." Natsume Rin blew away the ink marks that didn't exist in the first place.
Mahiru smiled indulgently, and Yukino wanted to distance herself from him, but when Natsume began to read the questionnaire, the two of them pricked up their ears to see what new tricks he could come up with.
"I'll ask you questions, and you just need to answer yes or no. It's simple, isn't it?"
"Well, come on."
"Do you agree with your classmates participating in the school festival?"
"Agree." "At least there are no objections."
After looking at each other, they gave different answers but with similar meanings.
"Very good. May I ask if you think the school festival will improve the students' abilities?"
"of course."
They all agree on this point.
"That's it, let's continue." Natsume Rin leaned back in her chair and said with satisfaction: "So, my two classmates, is your goal in training your abilities so that you can enter your favorite company or school after graduation?"
Yukino noticed something was wrong and tried to find a flaw, but his questions were too broad and he couldn't find any faults.
"School festivals are for happiness..."
"I've already said that you can only say yes or no, what the hell are you doing, Minister?"
They replied helplessly: "Yes."
"So you two are in favor of holding a campus festival during the school day, and think it will be beneficial to the development of your classmates?"
Having laid out this much, it would be self-deception to say anything against it, so they nodded in agreement reluctantly.
"That's right." Natsume Rin smiled proudly, leaned back in his chair and turned the flyer over, "Then let's continue asking questions."
"Do you agree that learning in a classroom is much more effective than learning anywhere else?"
"So this is ah."
Xue No, who understood the situation but had no way to refute it, pondered and chose to break the situation directly instead of following his train of thought and continue to answer: "What is the last question you want to ask?"
"It should be a topic opposite to the first ending." Shiina Mahiru helped her sort out her thoughts.
"Canceling the school festival in order to increase study time?"
"That's about it. Similar questions can get opposite answers by slightly changing the order. Is this the fun of the questionnaire that Natsume talked about?"
With each word, they completely revealed his train of thought. Natsume Rin rubbed her hands in anticipation, feeling that turning the campus festival into a questionnaire was just around the corner!
At that time, he would make a few questionnaires about the school and submit them to the school newspaper to find some new fun.
