Truth is everywhere within range

April.

The grass grows and the orioles fly.

The colorful promenade is filled with students wearing the uniforms of Fengcheng University Affiliated High School.

"Hey, Fujimoto, why do you smell like smoke?"

"Narita, your skirt is about one centimeter shorter than normal."

"Sajima, if there is anything strange in your schoolbag, let me check it."

The teacher on duty at the school gate was carefully supervising the appearance of the students. On the side, Natsume Shiji, who was wearing the armband of the Disciplinary Committee, was holding a record board in his hand and looking at the students pouring into the campus.

There are many familiar faces and many more unfamiliar faces.

"New semester?"

Natsume Shishi murmured to himself.

I couldn't help but glance to the southwest.

Behind the sky covered by tall buildings, Mount Fuji no longer exists.

Even the Fuji Five Lakes are gone.

Now, where Mount Fuji originally stood is a huge bay. After re-mapping by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, it was named Fuji Sea, one of the intercontinental seas.

As for the huge spear inserted in the middle of the Fuji Sea, it has been dismantled.

The Mount Fuji area, which was once the most terrifying area in Japan, is now just a calm sea.

And the people who were originally in a catastrophe and in danger are now continuing their daily lives as usual, and most of them don't know who saved them or how they were saved.

Natsume Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"Ah, it's Natsume-san."

At the door, a girl wearing the uniform of Minejo University High School recognized Natsume Shi.

"Is she the little miko Asano from Atsuta Shrine?"

Natsume Shishi also recognized the other party.

The disciple of the Amazong Cloud Sword is Ariko Asano of Atsuta Shrine.

"Congratulations on your admission."

Today is the beginning of school, and it is also Ariko’s first day at school, so Natsume’s poetry naturally sent her blessings.

"Thank you. By the way, Natsume-san, have you seen the teacher?"

After Yalizi exchanged greetings, she immediately asked about Qiao Qiao's whereabouts.

"You obviously agreed to take me to school with you, but it turned out..."

She was quite resentful.

"As for Qiao Sang, it seems that he has already arrived before."

Natsume Shishi replied that of course she would not ignore that man. After all, he was the most dangerous person on campus.

"Ah, then I have to find him quickly."

Ariko was about to say goodbye to Natsume Shishi and go to Qiao Qiao when she saw many students gathered outside the main teaching building ahead.

"What's wrong?"

As a member of the ethics committee, Natsume Shi naturally did her duty. She and Ariko crossed the crowded crowd and came to the front.

I saw that the shoe cabinet at the entrance of the teaching building was blocked by layers of yellow cordon, making it difficult to step into it. As a result, the students were unable to change indoor shoes and were noisy.

"This is?"

Ariko didn't quite understand, but Natsume Shishi immediately realized the nature of the problem.

"Qiao Sang, what are you doing again?"

After hearing Natsume's poem, Ariko hurriedly looked inside.

On one of the shelves of a row of shoe cabinets, I saw a grayish-white substance that looked like plasticine stuck to one of the shelves.

On the ball of plasticine, there was a short black column stuck in it.

Two rows of cabinets away from this shoe cabinet, a young man wearing a school uniform shirt was hiding behind a table he didn't know where he got as a barrier, holding something like a black remote control in his hand.

"Everyone, please cover your ears and be careful of the impact!"

He shouted loudly, it was Qiao Qiao.

"teacher?"

Ariko looked confused.

"I said, Qiao Sang, what happened this time?"

Natsume Shishi ignored those warning lines, stepped across them, and came to the side of Qiao Bridge.

"The thing is like this, when I came to school this morning, I found that the mechanism I installed on the shoe cabinet had signs of being tampered with. This means that someone other than me had opened my shoe cabinet. According to common sense, I We believe this was a premeditated terrorist attack."

Qiao Qiao said seriously, and at the same time he saw Ariko who was following him.

"No one would do this now, right?"

Natsume Shishi twitched the corner of her mouth.

Although the last time, uh, the last time the shoe cabinet was blown up was indeed because there was a bomb in it, most monsters have already chosen to live in peace with humans because of the disappearance of Mount Fuji, or have been forced to live in peace.

Therefore, except for some evil spirits caused by pure Yin Qi accumulation, most of the weird incidents have disappeared.

It definitely can’t be caused by monsters!

"For the sake of safety, I think it's reasonable to blow up the shoe cabinet. Natsume-san, Ariko, it's dangerous to stand there. It's safer to hide behind a bunker."

Qiao Qiao insisted on his opinion and shrank into the table again.

"Miko Asano, please give me some advice. Huh?"

Natsume Shishi also wanted Ariko to persuade Qiao Qiao, but he saw Ariko hiding behind the table and taking the helmet that Qiao Qiao took out from nowhere.

"?"

Neither of these two people can be saved.

Natsume Shi broke into a cold sweat.

Just as she was about to continue persuading Qiao Qiao, she saw a figure in school uniform crossing her and walking towards Qiao Qiao.

The man didn't pay attention to Qiao Qiao's actions. He went directly to the shoe cabinet and opened the shoe cabinet door covered with gray plasticine.

"careful!"

Qiao Qiao curled up and hid.

But when the cabinet door opened, nothing happened.

Of course, Qiao Qiao's indoor shoes were lying nicely in the shoe cabinet, and there were no threatening letters or pink love letters from unknown sources.

"Look, it's okay."

The man said to Qiao Qiao.

"Okay, don't disturb the opening ceremony. It's the first day of class for me, and I don't want to be delayed."

She came to Qiao Qiao's side and patted Qiao Qiao's shoulder.

It's Sayoko.

"S-Sayako?"

Natsume Shi was also a little surprised.

Although the world is much more peaceful now, Sayoko's uniqueness has not disappeared. She still transfers her own negative emotions, injuries, etc. to other people. It seems inappropriate to come to school normally.

I've never heard of Natsume's poetry before.

"I-I understand."

Qiao Qiao came out from behind the table, looking like a child whose parents caught him making a mistake.

"Hurry and tidy up this place. No one else can enter the teaching building. Also, you promised to take me to the classroom, but in the blink of an eye you disappeared."

Xiao Yezi scolded Qiao Qiao, but Qiao Qiao did not refute, but honestly cleaned up the cordon around the shoe cabinet and the explosives that had been placed before.

"I always feel like Qiao Sang has changed as a different person in front of Sayoko, as if he has changed from a military dog ​​to an honest dog."

Natsume Shishi folded his hands and watched the interaction between the two, and suddenly felt as if he had eaten a lemon.

".And Suzuka and Kiriye, why haven't they arrived at school yet? Are they lost on the road?"

Sayoko looked around again and sighed.

"?"

Natsume Shi doesn’t understand.

Forget about Sayoko, do Suzuka and Kiriye also want to come to school?

Indeed, Natsume Shishi has heard about the plan for peaceful coexistence between monsters and humans before, and some monsters will live with humans in the pilot area.

So it seems that the pilot is the High School Affiliated to Fengcheng University?

And what a coincidence, it turned out to be the two from Qiao Qiao’s family.

Natsume Shishi looked at Sayoko and Ariko next to Qiao Qiao, and suddenly felt that his next campus life might be much harder than before.

"but."

It is spring after all, a new beginning.

Natsume Shishi looked at the falling cherry blossoms and thought.
