Lost Narrative Poetry

"Ahem, I'm only seventeen years old this year. As the youngest special chef, I should be qualified to compete..."

Xia Ran raised his hand and made it into a fist, put it to his mouth, coughed slightly and then said this, his eyes were serious and sincere, and there was a trace of righteousness in his tone. He had a little bit of Yakumo Purple's fun. .

——This is not pretending to be young. If anyone thinks so, they are totally wrong. This behavior actually shows that he has a young heart.

After all, isn’t that what the saying goes? The saying goes, "A man will remain a boy until he dies."

In this case, it is natural that Xia Ran is seventeen years old forever. He was seventeen years old before, he is seventeen now, and he will be seventeen in the future...

"Really? It turns out that you are only seventeen years old this year... Tsk, these words are really unpleasant. Are you implying something?"

However, Hiratsuka Shizu's eyes became very serious, filled with some indescribable sense of intimidation and oppression. He seemed to be very sensitive and noticed the keyword of age at once.

"..."

"..."

"No, Mr. Hiratsuka, you are worrying too much..." Xia Ran blinked and said rationally, "I just said that I am still young, but I am not implying that others are not young..."

"Didn't anyone teach you not to mention your age to women casually?" Shizuka Hiratsuka's forehead clearly showed veins, and the insinuation became even more obvious! She felt like her knees were going to be shot out.

"So I'm not talking about this kind of topic with women. I'm just saying that I'm still young and can't talk about it. Just because I can't talk about this kind of topic with women, I can't even talk about this kind of topic that is just a matter of association. Well, isn’t this a literal prison?”

Xia Ran fought hard according to reason and was not afraid of power.

"..."

"..."

"Huh, forget it, I don't share your knowledge...but if that's all, this reason for asking for leave is not valid."

Hiratsuka Shizuka took a deep breath and rejected it outright. She knew that this person did it on purpose, but she had no choice. Continuing to pester him would only make her blood pressure soar.

"Eh? Why can't the reason for collecting legendary kitchen utensils be established? How strict is the academic management of this school..." Xia Ran couldn't help but look away, expressing sincere admiration.

"Don't suddenly develop respect for the school in such a subtle place. If you want to take a leave of absence, first collect seven dragon balls to summon the dragon!"

"Huh? Are you saying that you can successfully apply for leave with this kind of excuse?" Xia Ran frowned and said dissatisfiedly. He felt that this was discrimination, "Why is it okay to collect Dragon Balls, but not to collect legendary kitchen utensils?" ? Are the entire school board of directors fans of Mr. Toraki?"

"No, it has nothing to do with this. What I mean is that as long as you collect the seven dragon balls and summon the dragon, any wish can come true, even if you want to take a day off, you can do it!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her arms and said in a very calm tone with a "you are still too young" expression on her face.

"Wait...wait a minute, it's not me. Isn't this wish a little too humble? You have worked so hard to collect the Dragon Balls just for something like this. Shenlong will definitely cry!"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had been trying to downplay his own presence before, finally couldn't bear it at this moment. He felt a sense of responsibility for complaining welling up deep in his heart!

"Oh, is that so?" Xia Ran seemed to have been inspired. He lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Hey, and that one over there, don't think about this so seriously!" Realizing that the young man in white clothes seemed to be quite serious, Hikigaya Hachiman's expression became a little uneasy, and he quickly tried to stop him. .

It’s not that he is a very courageous person, but he feels that this kind of thing must be stopped!

Who knows if things like the Dragon Balls really exist in this unscientific world? After all, monsters and gods have already seen it, and Hikigaya Hachiman's broken world view was finally readjusted into place.

"Well, to me, this kind of thing is really possible. Hikigaya-san, don't worry too much..."

Xia Ran showed a cheerful smile and gave a thumbs up. The high-level hidden list had been opened for him. He had browsed it before, and naturally found that someone was actually selling Dragon Balls on it...

But of course it cannot be a complete set, otherwise, it would not be sold. The result is that the subtleties have been left there, unnoticed for a long time, and I don’t know how long it will take before they can be gathered together again in the vast infinite world.

"But that's what I'm worried about. This world is actually very fragile, okay..."

The expression of the boy with dead fish eyes seemed even more tangled. His words of "don't worry" were all false. His face clearly said "you should worry".

"Okay, let's stop joking here. Speaking of summer vacation, it's getting closer and closer. There are only a few days left. How are your summer activities arranged?" Shizuka Hiratsuka clapped his hands and attracted the two of them. After paying attention, he showed a bright smile to them.

"Our summer activities?" Hikigaya Hachiman was slightly startled and asked uncertainly, "What do you mean?"

"It's a literal summer vacation arrangement. Aren't you in the same club? And you didn't forget that I am the club's consultant teacher, right? Although it doesn't have to be a club as a unit, a class as a unit, or directly sign up to participate in the school's collective organization All summer volunteer activities are available.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly became angry, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Anyway, you'd better make arrangements as soon as possible. I, as the consultant, will only have to watch over you. I don't want to have to worry about the planning and arrangement itself. You should let me go more smoothly... and don't show that expression. This is a school rule, just like the previous workplace internship..."

"Um, um...oh! That's it. I'm going to attend a summer cram school. I probably don't have much time..." Hikigaya Hachiman quickly found an excuse to try to avoid such troublesome things.

This is also due to his character and consistent style. When he is in trouble, he first escapes. Although escape cannot solve the problem, it is really comfortable.

"It doesn't matter. You are not the only student who wants to go to the tutoring sprint. But the summer vacation is very long, and the activities will not take up all the time. It only takes one or two days. We can try our best to adjust each student's free time. time to ensure attendance..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka seemed to have expected this, and gave a reply quite calmly, looking at the shocked fish-eyed boy with a sneer.

"..."

"..."

"Ah, ah, that's it. That's such a coincidence. I plan to work hard to make up for my homework throughout the summer. After all, I'm already a sophomore in high school. I also want to get into the university of my choice..."

Hikigaya Hachiman laughed, letting out a clumsy dry laugh, and lamely patched up his reasons. It's a pity that his acting skills are not very good and his eyes are as rotten as dead water.

So even when he was clenching his fists and talking loudly and speaking such inspiring words, it was completely impossible to see that he had the spirit of hard work, hard work, and hard work for dreams and lofty goals that students should have. Qi Shen.

It's full of perfunctory meaning, even people who are not familiar with it can see it, and Teacher Hiratsuka will naturally not fall for it.

"This is indeed a valid reason. Then I will confirm with your family first to ensure that you must spend the entire summer vacation in a cram school. Moreover, I have some experience and can help you formulate a comprehensive and detailed plan. .”

She thought about Hikigaya Hachiman's excuse carefully, and was not angry. She just nodded in a very considerate manner: "As long as you work from four in the morning to twelve in the morning, you should see results if you stick to it for a month. …”

"..."

"..."

"Then can I ask, when you say you will see results if you persist for a month, do you mean that my performance report has come out, or that my death report has come out..." Hikigaya Hachiman laughed dryly again, covering up Embarrassed sounds and stiff facial muscles.

"Why do you think so? Human beings have infinite possibilities, how can they be so fragile..."

"No way! Human beings have limits!"

"So are you going to participate in summer activities?"

"……want."

Hikigaya Hachiman changed his mind decisively. He said that summer activities were troublesome, but in fact it was mainly caused by his unwillingness to have too much contact with human subjective psychology. In fact, how much trouble could he cause in just one or two days?

At least compared to if Hiratsuka-sensei started to take things seriously, to compete with him, and to supervise him to study every day throughout the summer, it was nothing worth mentioning...

However, he probably felt that it was a bit unethical for him to change his words immediately, so he still put forward his own opinions and views, showing that he had different ideas of his own:

"But do I have to go with other people? Can the activity arrangements be kept at my own home?"

"...You want to invite your classmates to your home for a reading party or something like that?"

"How is it possible? I won't let others into my home. I mean, the summer activities can be changed to another form. They can do the activities in their homes and I can do the activities in my home. This can be regarded as acting together..."

"...You should be glad that the school has strict control recently and does not allow students to be harmed easily."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at his face with tender eyes full of care, and said tactfully: "I really can't understand why you avoid normal communication like this?"

"That's not communication at all. People can't be lumped together, and Xian Chong and other people are not of the same species..."

Hikigaya Hachiman said plausibly, "If there was something that both Akari and others could play, and there would be no problems on both sides, and the starting line would be equal, I wouldn't be so repulsive."

"Huh? Both current depositors and others can play, there will be no problems for both parties, and everyone will be treated equally at the starting line?"

Xia Ran scratched his chin and showed a subtle expression——

"...battle royale?"

"Isn't this too bloody?!" Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment, then expressed his fierce objection.

"Don't worry, I can modify the visual display of the participants and use ham, jelly and other substitutes so that the real severed limbs and bleeding effects cannot be seen..." Xia Ran nodded frequently to express understanding, looking very interested.

"Is that the point?!"
