Lost Narrative Poetry

"Ah, I'm sorry, I just subconsciously ignored it..."

Xia Ran apologized without sincerity.

But speaking of it, it's really strange. He shouldn't be so happy when he sees Yukinoshita Yukino, even though he hasn't seen her for a long time.

However, I almost forgot Kato Megumi in the blink of an eye. Isn't this too inappropriate?

"Forget it, there's nothing I can do about it. I'm used to this kind of thing...although I still feel a little bit shocked."

I don't know what's going on, but Megumi Kato still looks calm, and still has that kind of calmness that makes people regretful.

"Hmm? Are you used to this kind of thing?" Xia Ran twitched the corner of his mouth. This statement does not seem to be a small problem that can be laughed off!

"Yes, I am not as conspicuous as you and this Yukinoshita-san..." Megumi Kato nodded to Yukinoshita who walked into the classroom and came not far away, her tone was still the same. A light, calm feeling.

"...Am I conspicuous?"

Xia Ran really didn't want to discuss such a topic, but today's events have proved that he seems to be really conspicuous.

Kato Megumi looked at him carefully, and then nodded gently: "It's just that you don't have that kind of awareness, Xia Ran. You have no intention of making yourself conspicuous, and I have no intention of making myself inconspicuous."

Yukinoshita came to the aisle in front of Xia Ran's table. Her eyes wandered over the two of them for a few seconds inexplicably. Then she brushed the long black hair that fell on her shoulders and said in a voice as sweet as a stream:

"Kato-kun, do you mean to say that you are troubled by your inconspicuousness?"

"It's not really a worry..." Megumi Kato was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a while, he replied, "According to my friends' opinion, I always give people a weak impression. It should be said that it is easy to ignore. Did you drop it..."

"Speaking of it, it seems like this is really the case." Xia Ran nodded in agreement, putting on a serious look, "Many times, I almost forget that there is someone behind me, and I can't even remember Live your name.”

"..."

"..."

Kato Megumi's expression was completely troubled, her eyes were paler than before, and she seemed to not want to speak at all.

"Eh? Kato-san, what's wrong with you? Did the artist forget to color you..." Xia Ran stopped speaking and looked at the girl in front of her who turned pale. Several seconds passed without saying anything. He didn't even move, so he quickly asked with concern.

"Isn't this your fault? Shouldn't you be comforting others at this time? Why do you need to do a last hit?"

Yukinoshita frowned tightly and cast a cold gaze at him: "And where did we get the painter?"

"Wait, wait, we don't have a painter?"

Xia Ran looked at the girl with long, straight black hair and showed a subtle expression, as if she was very shocked by this incident.

Yukinoshita ignored him, but looked at the silent Kato Megumi, and said helplessly:

"Kato-san, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. Don't look at him as if he is very good at talking. In fact, he doesn't care about irrelevant people at all. It's not just your name that he can't remember. In fact, He can’t remember anyone’s name…”

"Hey, how can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?"

Xia Ran's eyes widened immediately, and he protested angrily, no matter what, it was too bad to slander him in front of him without any reason!

Yukinoshita, I didn’t expect you to be such a person!

Kato Megumi's eyes moved slightly, seemingly thoughtful, probably because she felt that Yukinoshita Yukino's statement seemed reasonable:

"It seems so. Just at noon, classmate Xia Ran called classmate An Yi by the wrong name and called him Ito... It didn't seem like a joke. I was a little surprised at the time. They obviously Do we know each other?"

"..."

"..."

——Human beings just want to hurt each other!

"You had the nerve to talk about innocence just now?"

Yukinoshita turned around and looked at the young man who suddenly became very interested in the sunset outside the window and was pretending to watch the scenery with a look of contempt from the bottom of his heart. His eyes looked very unkind.

"Ahem, speaking of which, it's almost four o'clock in the afternoon. Yukinoshita, why did you come to see me specifically?"

Xia Ran looked away from her, just coughed twice in a pretentious manner, and then asked seriously.

Speaking of which, Kato Kei actually discovered at noon that she had called Aki Rinya by the wrong name. It was not a joke but a real mistake! In this case, wouldn't it mean that she suddenly interrupted and had a conversation with An Yilun——

In addition to thanking An Yilun for helping her before, the purpose was also to take the opportunity to remind Xia Ran?

"This technique of changing the topic is too blunt... Forget it, I won't waste my time with you."

The girl stared at him with unusual displeasure at first, but then sighed, as if she had a headache.

"I'll just tell you this - not long after school, someone came to the Service Department to make a commission."

"Huh? So what? Could it be that guy asked me to do something by name?" Xia Ran didn't quite understand, and immediately thought of this possibility.

who is it? Who wants to use force to harm themselves?

Could it be that someone came to cause trouble just after I came back? !

He immediately became vigilant, his brain started to spin rapidly, and his intelligence attribute of up to 40+ came into play instantly... Then he didn't think of anything. After all, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without straw, and there was nothing he could do about it!

If there really is someone to suspect, the first prerequisite is to have one or several clear imaginary enemies. However, he didn't remember the names of several people in the school, and he didn't know a few people at all...

Things are getting better now. In the past, as long as the A.T. force field was activated, it would be the result of "keep strangers away and familiar people away".

In this case, it is impossible to make something out of nothing and just drag out a few imaginary enemies in this kind of thing, right? How to do this kind of thing? Just go out and get a loudspeaker, gather all the teachers and students in the school, and then randomly kill a lucky spectator?

Um? Wait, could it be Ito... Yirun Aki?

Could it be that that guy had some sudden idea and was worried that he would refuse, so he used a roundabout way to achieve his goal through a commission from the service department? It seems very possible...

——Xia Ran suddenly realized that he did not seem to be a target without suspicion, so he began to think about how to deal with this guy who always caused trouble for him... Should he sink into Tokyo Bay or be buried in the sea of ​​trees in Fuji?

"It's not that, it's just that person... How should I put it, his commission is rather strange, it is about the novel he wrote, and in the service department, there is only one professional like you."

However, Yukinoshita stopped Xia Ran's random thoughts in time. She shook her head gently, and the warm breeze blew from the window, blowing her waist-length hair behind her.

"But I don't know what's going on. You were the first to come to the activity room to read in the past, but you haven't come here today... so I came over to take a look, because Mr. Hiratsuka said that you are not in good health. , I used to often take leave.”

So it’s not An Yilun?

Xia Ran felt a little regretful for some reason, but she put this inexplicable regret behind her in the blink of an eye.

He raised a fist, knocked on his forehead, and asked another question: "In that case, you don't have to make a special trip. Can't you just make a phone call or send an email?"

"... Just like you did before, I don't know your mobile phone number either."

Yukinoshita was silent for a moment and said this unhappily. At the same time, she turned her head slightly and looked in another direction.

"..."

"..."

There was a moment of silence, and the atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward.

Xia Ran also remembered at this time. It seemed that she had gone to see Yukinoshita once before, not only because she was still in class at the time and it was difficult to call and send emails, but also because she did not have her mobile phone number at the time. Even if you want to do this, you can't do it.

As a result, it has been so long and it is still like this, with no improvement at all.

So, what on earth was I thinking before? Could it be that every time I need to contact you in the future, you have to walk to inform the other party? Didn't he say that it would be more efficient to raise a pigeon to deliver letters than this!

"I am on duty today with Kato-san..." He thought for a while and said, "So I went a little late...Forget it, let's exchange contact information first, Yukinoshita-san."

With that said, Xia Ran took out her phone and shook it.

The girl looked at him in surprise at first, as if she couldn't believe the suggestion he made, but in the end she seemed to surrender and let out a long breath:

"Okay...but don't think too much. If nothing happens, it's best not to send me messages."

"Exactly, that's what I think too. If you have nothing to do, don't come to me, and if you have something to do, don't come to me..."

Xia Ran was not hit at all, he just showed a confident smile and had no intention of showing weakness in this regard.

Yukinoshita also narrowed her eyes slightly. What on earth did this guy mean? Why did it feel like he disliked her in turn.

"..."

"..."

The two sides looked at each other. At this moment, it seemed that the air was a little stagnant.

Well, an illusion.

Kato Megumi on the side quietly watched the two people exchanging blows and tilted her head. She didn't quite understand but she also found it interesting. The way these two got along made her feel a little envious... Unfortunately, she seemed a little too simple. , has never had any sense of existence.

"Well, Kato-san, come and exchange mobile phone numbers too!"

Because there are three people present, no matter what you do, as long as the other person is excluded, there will always be something inappropriate.

Therefore, the three of them, including Kato Megumi, exchanged contact information with each other as a matter of course.
