"A voice suddenly appeared in my head, and then I changed."

If she said that, Fujiwara Chika would never believe that the genius Kaguya-sama was in distress.

Chapter 22

Ye Ziye walked along the corridor leading away from the student council classroom, admiring the information and portraits of great figures in human history.

He didn't know what happened in the student council classroom. He didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on girls' conversations, but he did feel much more relaxed after coming out of there.

"How about we take a nap under the cherry blossom tree..."

Ye Ziye suddenly had this idea.

In her previous life, Ye Ziye often saw tourists doing this through a short video app.

He had been adapting to this world for a month and was in a good mood, so he wanted to give it a try. Anyway, it was lunch break and he had nothing else to do.

Perhaps staying in the classroom would even get her dragged away by Hiratsuka Shizuka for some tutoring. Thinking about the two experience points she gained in unarmed combat skills today, Ye Ziye made a decision.

April is the peak season for cherry blossoms, and as a traditional aristocratic school in an island nation, the academy has quite a few cherry blossom trees.

The cherry blossoms fall every day enough petals for a tea lover to brew for a lifetime. Of course, no one sweeps up these petals; they are simply left to drift in the wind.

Cherry blossom petals don't resemble withered leaves; anyone without hay fever would be delighted to see them.

As for the cherry blossom season, the petals are cleaned up by professionals. There has never been an incident of students cleaning up at Shuchiin Academy.

Ye Ziye was quite satisfied with this, as he had already cleaned enough in his previous life.

Behind the student council classroom, in front of the kendo and archery club activity areas, stand some of the best cherry blossom trees belonging to the students of Shuchiin Academy, and that's where Yoko Yoru chose to be.

At Shuchiin Academy, the Kendo Club and the Archery Club are two adjacent clubs. As semi-sports clubs, they hold a unique position in the school's club hierarchy.

Ye Ziye casually found the largest cherry blossom tree and lay down on the soft grass covered with cherry blossoms, her nose filled with the enchanting fragrance of cherry blossoms.

From his current position, he could easily see what was happening in both clubs. Even at noon, people were still practicing in the clubs.

As an ordinary child, Ye Ziye had never been exposed to high-level things like kendo and archery.

Similarly, as a boy, he always had an inexplicable interest in swords, even with his otherwise unassuming personality.

In his past life, when he was in an orphanage, he would hold a Heisei sword made from some fake factory in China, shouting "Zi-O is the strongest," and foolishly swinging it again and again.

Undeniably, swords and blades have always been a source of romance for men.

Ye Ziye was an extraordinary child from a young age. He could lie on the grass like an old man, covering his face with a book, with a pot of hot tea beside him, and spend the whole day smelling the fragrance of books.

While other children were still playing happily, he had already begun to move towards a life of old age.

However, he had never done this in this world before, because he still needed to survive in this unfamiliar world. Now, lying here, he found a feeling from the past.

Suddenly, Ye Ziye subconsciously stood up and took a few steps back. He didn't know why he did this, as his near-level 3 unarmed combat skills were warning him.

He hadn't felt this kind of stimulation when Hiratsuka Shizuka threw her punch, but just now, his senses had become noticeably more active.

"what?"

A clear, melodious voice, like that of a nightingale, rang out, and Ye Ziye looked in the direction of the sound.

What came into view was a blonde, blue-eyed British girl with a single, conspicuous tuft of hair on her head. At this moment, a faint look of confusion appeared on her delicate face, as if she was puzzled as to why Ye Ziye had managed to dodge.

Ye Ziye felt a chill run down his spine. He hadn't noticed the girl's presence at all, and it was only her hand-to-hand combat skills that warned him; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand up now.

Thank you, Shizuka-sensei!

After silently reciting a phrase in his mind, Ye Ziye looked at the person opposite him with some vigilance. He could sense that although the girl did not have any ill intentions, she was a more dangerous person than Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The girl took another step forward, while Ye Ziye took a step back, not knowing why he did it.

He had no idea why this kind of thing, which only happens in fighting anime, was happening to him, and why he was attacked by a pretty girl while he was resting.

This is a bit far-fetched, but the facts are right in front of us.

The girl took another step forward, and this time, before Ye Ziye could even step back, he felt the world in his eyes flip up, and he was knocked down.

Before he could even begin to consider whether he had offended anyone, he felt as if something soft had covered his lips.

Ye Ziye was a little confused. He had been forcibly kissed? And by a beautiful girl who was no less beautiful than Yukino Yukinoshita or Kaguya Shinomiya.

He didn't know how much time had passed; he could only hear a voice in his mind.

Ye Ziye knew that the new skill, which was already at level 4, was obtained from this girl.

After a long while, the girl stood up, pulled Ye Ziye up with her, and bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle, her attitude extremely sincere.

"Excuse me!"

Chapter 23

Imagine a girl who looks like a fairy throws you over her shoulder, kisses you forcefully, and then bows to you afterward. What would you do?

Ye Ziye is now deeply caught up in this question and cannot extricate herself from it.

Enough has happened today, but this is the one thing he can't understand and doesn't know how to understand. It's something that defies common sense.

He was forcibly kissed, and not in the romantic way you see in shoujo manga. He was knocked down, and that's when that happened.

After the incident, the girl bowed to Ye Ziye and left with a serious expression, leaving Ye Ziye completely bewildered under the cherry blossom tree.

It was already after school, and Ye Ziye returned to the classroom in a daze. She spent some time at the student council office in a daze, and was currently on her way to the pet cafe.

After several hours, he gradually came to his senses, and the image of the girl reappeared in his mind.

Although he didn't know many people at school, coincidentally, that girl was one of them. He didn't recognize her at noon only because things happened so suddenly.

Artoria Pandoragon

This is the girl's name. She is an exchange student from England who studied at Shuchiin Academy during her junior high school years and served as the president of the kendo club for two consecutive years.

The girl's family is said to be famous in England, and they are said to be descendants of King Arthur, but of course this is just a legend, and no one knows the truth.

The students at the academy remembered her not only for her beauty, but also for her fighting prowess and her eccentricity in modern times, adhering strictly to chivalry.

She studied Western swordsmanship, and even in an island nation where swordsmanship was highly developed, she did not learn any other swordsmanship. She stuck to her own style and defeated a group of skilled island warriors who came to challenge her.

Because her skill level was so high that others couldn't see through it, they only knew that Artoria was very good at fighting, and secretly labeled her as the number one fighter in Shuchiin Academy.

However, Ye Ziye knew that this label was not exaggerated at all. He originally thought that Hiratsuka Shizuka's combat strength was already strong enough, but Artoria's combat strength was far superior to Hiratsuka Shizuka's.

When Hiratsuka Shizuka threw a punch at him, his body never reacted that way, but when Artoria simply got close to him, every cell in his body was sending out warnings.

He reached level 4 by acquiring only 80% of Artoria's abilities, which proves that the girl's swordsmanship had likely already reached level 5.

Ye Ziye originally thought that his cooking skills would be the first to reach level 4, but the result was beyond his expectations.

He didn't know why that kind of person would forcibly kiss him for a full minute. In his memory, he had never had any interaction with Artoria.

Ye Ziye only caught a glimpse of this fairy-like girl in the crowd; after all, her dazzling blonde hair and emerald green eyes were simply too eye-catching.

At the time, he only sighed, never expecting that something like this would happen today. He thought he would never have any contact with Artoria in his life.

Ye Ziye didn't even know if anyone would believe him if he told them what happened today. In this society governed by the rule of law, it was nothing short of a fantasy that a stranger could forcibly kiss another stranger.

He didn't want to be called crazy, but keeping something like this inside would be unpleasant for anyone.

Ye Ziye didn't know what was wrong with him. He had only been looking forward to a peaceful daily life, and that was indeed the case before today. But today, his peaceful life was disrupted.

He now feels that being forced to join the Service Club is no big deal, nor is being invited to join the elite student council. He feels he can accept everything now.

Ye Ziye decided to write down today as his unlucky day, and from now on, he would behave himself on this day of every month, and if he could take a day off, he would definitely not stay at home!

After brainstorming for a while, Ye Ziye arrived at the pet cafe on the bumpy tram.

Although he arrived a little late because he went to the student council, it wasn't yet the evening opening time, so he wasn't considered late.

For some reason, Ye Ziye was a little worried. He was concerned that something unexpected might happen at the coffee shop today.

Shaking the dangerous thought from her mind, Ye Ziye took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the coffee shop.

The lingering aroma of coffee and desserts was invigorating, and Ye Ziye's chaotic mind finally gained a brief moment of clarity.

"How strange, Yezi, you're so late."

Kudo Nami was watering the plants while holding a white ragdoll cat. When she saw Ye Ziye come in, she couldn't help but tease her.

"What's wrong? You have that same existential-doubting look on your face, like a college graduate just entering the workforce."

Kudo Nami's description was very apt, which made Ye Ziye pause for a moment. He then rubbed his face. He was very professional and would never show an unpleasant expression, even if he didn't smile and sell his body.

"It's nothing, something just happened today..."

Ye Ziye shook his head, said nothing more, and walked to the staff break room to get his apron ready to start work.

At this moment, Nakamura Nanami also emerged from a corner, approached Kudo Nami, and whispered...

What's wrong with the leaves?

"I don't know, maybe this is just the trouble of puberty!"

Kudo Nami and Nakamura Nanami stared intently at Ye Ziye; it was the first time they had ever seen him like this.

Chapter 24

"Oh, right, manager, I forgot to tell you, I recently joined the student council, so I might come to the coffee shop a little later sometimes. If any customers want to order coffee, just let me know, or you can open the shop later and wait for me."

"understood!"

Kudo Nami scoffed without any ladylike manners. She was very unhappy with Ye Ziye's attitude that he was the store manager, but she was helpless to do anything about it.

Nami Kudo knew very well who was responsible for the significant increase in customers at the store.

At the same time, she felt like a failed store manager. Her employees openly told her they were going to be late, but she couldn't do anything about it.

She couldn't deduct wages, nor could she scold them; she felt her store manager was becoming a puppet manager.

Unlike Kudo Nami, Nakamura Nanami's big eyes lit up; she knew that Yoko Yo was a student at Shuchiin Academy.

After all, Shuchiin High School has the highest deviation score in the entire island of Japan, and it is basically known to everyone.

The student council of Shuchiin Academy is a very powerful organization, and Nakamura Nanei naturally believes that Ye Ziye's ability to join it is due to his outstanding abilities.

"Ye Zi Jun is really amazing!"

Looking at her other employee's infatuated expression, Kudo Nami fell into deep thought. Was she still considered the store manager?

But then she found the answer: she was the store manager, because all the store's revenue belonged to her! That's how it was.

The poor older single woman is giving herself a pep talk.
