Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

After all, their goal was simply to make her less tired from carrying it. Adding a few more props wouldn't matter, as it would prevent her from having to carry it too much.

Soon, everyone arrived at the school. Six buses were already parked on campus, and each teacher in charge was already in place in front of the buses, waiting for everyone to arrive.

Chapter 1351 Preparing to Depart

"Good morning, Aster." Tsuchimikado Fuyu and the others walked straight to the bus, where Dekomori Sanae and Kumin were already waiting to see them off.

"Good morning, Tokomaru." Rikka nodded, struggling to pull on her backpack, and said breathlessly.

Although her backpack has become much lighter, now it's only one or two sizes larger than normal compared to the previous behemoth, they still had to walk such a long way.

Rikka's roller shoes were damaged in a previous battle (and she hasn't had time to buy new ones yet), so she'll be walking the whole way today.

In this respect, Satania was much smarter than her. Although she also brought a lot of things, she carried a suitcase!

Aside from the slight strain of going up and down stairs, walking normally is much easier.

So sometimes, the person you think is stupid isn't necessarily stupid.

And what you perceive as chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is that she might actually do some stupid things because of it.

However, Rikka's "efforts" were not in vain. At least in Dekomori's opinion, Rikka looked very cool.

She looked around Rikka in surprise, exclaiming, "Wow! No wonder she's so well prepared for this journey to the Dark World."

"Wow, there are so many!" Fennel commented. "Satania too."

“It’s much better than this morning,” Winette remarked, explaining their morning experience to them.

"That's why you're carrying this bag!" Huixiang said with a smile, squatting down and pointing to the handbag that Liuhua was carrying across her shoulder.

"What do you mean?" Dansheng Valley Mori asked with a puzzled look.

Sometimes you really can't figure out what fennel is thinking.

Then, Fennel smiled and explained, "Because carry-on luggage is meant to be carried in your hand, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; the joke was incredibly lame.

I don't know when it started, but fennel has a particular fondness for playing with homophones.

For example, this time, "carry-on luggage" and "held in hand" are pronounced the same.

"Huh??" Seeing that everyone wasn't laughing and instead had strange expressions, Fennel hurriedly took out her "Joke Collection" and looked at its contents with a puzzled expression.

I was just following the book this time! Why didn't anyone laugh?

"How long are you going to keep telling this lame joke?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu complained speechlessly.

"Is that not allowed?" Fennel asked, tilting her head cutely.

"Acting cute is shameful... but if you really want to make us laugh, I suggest you switch to a normal joke book."

"Hmm, I'll go to the bookstore this afternoon." Fennel wasn't angry at Tsuchimikado Fuyu's suggestion; instead, she nodded very seriously.

However, the "joke collection" she bought later was not only not the normal version, but also an upgraded version of lame jokes.

"Everyone, put your luggage away and get ready to assemble."

Just then, the voices of the teachers came from not far away, and everyone stopped delaying and took action.

“Let’s go too,” Winette said to everyone after putting her suitcase away.

Unfortunately, most people didn't listen to her and were saying goodbye to others instead.

"Natsumi, I'll be leaving Shoko in your care for a while," Tsuchimikado Fuyu said, glancing at Komi Shoko who was chatting with Yui.

"Don't worry, with me here, I won't give any other men a chance to take advantage of me," Nagana Natsumi assured, patting her chest.

"That's not necessary..."

Gu Mei: "Hey! Fuyu-kun doesn't have those kinds of feelings for Shoko-chan? Actually, I know everything, no need to be shy!"

"You don't know anything." Tsuchimikado Tou rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you really want to guard against men, you should guard against them first."

"I'm a woman, Dongjun, don't get me wrong. Why are you being so wary of me?"

"Your gender... Heh!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu sneered.

"Dongjun, what do you mean? Do you not believe me? Or do you not believe your own eyes?"

"How can anyone tell if you're a girl or a crossdresser just by looking at you?"

"Don't tell me you want to see inside with your own eyes, Fuyu-kun?" Upon hearing this, Nagana Natsumi immediately covered her upper body in horror and said warily, "H is not allowed!"

"...No, please! Other girls might seem shy doing this, but you just make me feel uncomfortable." Tsuchimikado Fuyu shook his head and said.

"Alright, stop being silly. Just act like usual and take good care of her."

"OK!"

On the other side, Taplis also instructed Raphiel, "Senjin, Shiraha-senpai, remember to take lots of photos while you're traveling."

Gabriel said lazily, "It depends on my mood."

“No problem, do you want some of Xiao Jia’s private photos?” Raphiel said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Taplis looked at her excitedly, his face flushed and his breathing heavy as he nodded.

"I'd like to see who dares!!" Gabriel said, her face turning ashen.

"Hmph, Gabriel, I'm taking your photo... Pfft!!!"

It has to be said that Satania's occasional acts of recklessness are just right, perfectly igniting Gabriel's anger, and then Satania knocks her down with a single punch, leaving her curled up on the ground like a shrimp.

At the same time, Dekomori also grasped Rikka's hands, as if bidding her farewell after a long journey, and said in a solemn tone:

"While Aster is on her way to the battlefield, Dekomori will become a guardian deity to protect the Society's death!"

Rikka seemed to join in the atmosphere, and said with a serious expression, "Please."

"You two, stop fooling around. It's just a few days of vacation. It's not like she's never coming back," Dansheng Gu Senxia rolled her eyes and complained.

"Hmph, this mere imposter Mori-sama doesn't understand the importance of this battle," Sanae Dekomori said disdainfully.

"Yes, yes, I don't know, okay?" Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi sighed and said:

"But do you know what? Usually, when you say something like that, the best outcome is that Rikka never comes back, and you really become a bound spirit, waiting in the club for her return. It's such a tragedy!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Sanae Dekomori was instantly led astray by Morika Nibutani. Following her train of thought and then connecting it with the plots she had seen on TV and in anime, it seemed that this was indeed the case in most cases!

“aster…” Sanae Dekomori looked at Rikka with a panicked expression, realizing that she might have really said something wrong.

"Don't worry, Dekomori. The Evil Eye is the strongest. The curse is part of the Evil Eye itself. How could I be affected by a mere curse?" Rikka reacted quickly, patting Dekomori on the shoulder and saying seriously.

“aster…”

"Tou Shou..."

Just as the two of them were gazing deeply into each other's eyes, Tsuchimikado Fuyu grabbed Rikka by the waist and carried her toward the gathering point.

"Alright, stop chatting, let's go to the assembly point!"

Chapter 1352 Machiko's Grouping (Part 1)

On the playground of Zongwu High School, all the second-grade classes had assembled. After counting the number of students and confirming that everyone was present, they boarded the bus with expectant faces, led by their homeroom teachers.

All the classes set off together on the way from the school to the train station. Six buses with "Zongwu High School" signs formed a long line on the road, moving forward in an orderly fashion.

However, perhaps to allow the students to relax and not be too restrained, the teachers leading the group did not ride on the bus. Instead, they boarded three cars according to their groups and followed the bus convoy.

As a result, during this period, the task of organizing class activities was handed over to the class monitor.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's class was no exception. Everyone sat down according to the gender-separated seating arrangement, and then Machiko stood at the front, holding a microphone and saying to everyone: "During the half hour from school to the station, let's first divide into groups."

"Class monitor, isn't it better to form teams freely?" However, just as Machiko finished speaking, Yamato from the "normie" group chimed in.

"No way! Yamato, this grouping isn't for you to travel with your friends. The main purpose is to let you interact more with other classmates and make more friends."

After all, the problem of cliques in our class is quite serious.

Machiko explained earnestly.

In fact, according to the other classes, everyone was allowed to form their own travel groups a few days before the school trip, which was last Thursday and Friday. Then, over the weekend, everyone discussed and prepared some programs to deal with some group activities during the trip.

But this time, Machiko didn't want to do that.

The situation in their class is really a bit strange. There are too many cliques, many of which don't have basic communication, and there are even some reclusive loners.

Unfortunately, none of the students in their class have the same social anxiety as Natsumi Nagato. Even though a whole year has passed, many of them have only communicated with each other less than ten times.

In her view, this situation was a big problem.

So she came up with this suggestion on the spot and told Hiratsuka Shizuka about it.

Hiratsuka Shizuka definitely supports this, and even said that if anyone dares to cause trouble for Machiko, she will take that troublemaker and form a separate travel group with her to have a good talk with them.

Of course, Machiko knew that this suggestion would displease some classmates, or even make them hate her, but she felt that as the class monitor, she still had to take on this responsibility.

Sure enough, after Machiko finished explaining, the whole bus was filled with murmurs.

"Fuyu, isn't the class monitor being a bit too impulsive? Although the intention to improve everyone's relationship is good, it might be unacceptable to many people," Makoto Isshiki whispered in Fuyu's ear.

"Heh, quite a few people? Why don't you just call them by their names?" Tsuchimikado Tou rolled his eyes at him and said.

What are you trying to prove, you riddle teller?

Your schadenfreude is practically piercing my flesh; do you think I don't know who you're implying?

So, do you really think I'm that resistant to communicating with other classmates?

Surely not?

Compared to me, Hachiman Hikigaya, Tomoya Aki, and Akatsuki Akira are the ones who truly resist communicating with others!

Despite the complaints, to prove his "innocence," Tsuchimikado Fuyu proactively raised his hand and said, "I support him!"

Although Rikka and the others were puzzled as to why Tsuchimikado Fuyu would support this suggestion, since he had already done so, they had nothing to say and all indicated that it was no problem.

With their lead, the bus gradually filled with voices of support.

Occasionally, one or two people who don't support it will be forced to support it in order to "fit in."

Of course, there are also those who don't care whether they fit in or not (Hachiman Hikigaya: You can just call me by my name). But one person's voice is always limited, and in a situation where everyone's opinions are overwhelming, there is no way for him to refute them.

Seeing that everyone agreed (Hachiman Hikigaya: Yes, yes, I agree too.), Machiko breathed a slight sigh of relief, then said to Nibutani Morika, "Nibutani-san, could you please bring me the bag from my seat?"

"This?" Dansheng Tani Senxia picked up a small bag from the seat next to her and asked curiously.
