Order French fries at Shuchiin

What's going on? Isn't this the most basic way to express gratitude? Why should I be shy?

She stopped and hesitated internally - although she asked with a hint of displeasure, she never expected to hear such words from Ishigami.

But responding to someone who thanks you is also part of etiquette…

Iino hesitantly turned sideways, looked at Ishigami, and quickly bowed her head to answer politely, but her voice, as thin as a mosquito's whistle, was completely inaudible amid the final noise of the bell: "You're welcome..."

After she finished speaking, she didn't care whether Ishigami heard her or not, nor did she care about the audience whose lips curled up at strange angles. She took a step back, turned around, and ran away with her legs flapping, running unexpectedly fast.

"What?" Ishigami didn't hear clearly. When he looked up and was about to ask, he saw Iino's figure disappearing around the corner. Fortunately, he had already known from other angles that Iino was no longer angry.

Glancing at Iino's back at the end, Xing Yuanhui stood next to Ishigami, supported the struggling otaku with weak legs, and praised him: "Not bad, you said you needed to think about it in the morning, and you said it at noon."

Xing Yuanhui's sudden interruption startled Ishigami, but his brain was still a little overloaded and he didn't quite understand the consequences of Xing Yuanhui's watching.

"Should I just say it out loud..." Ishigami was a little ashamed of his performance.

"Why not? I think she just wants to hear these two words from you." Xing Yuanhui smiled and explained, "You don't think it's hard to guess what's going on with you, do you? You don't even need to watch the news. The fact that you can come to school normally is already a signal that cannot be ignored."

"Is that so..." He clenched his fists, trying to express his inner joy.

But Ishigami looked at the teaching building again and said embarrassedly: "But I'm really sorry, now we're both going to be late for class."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? Every student skips classes."

If Xing Yuanhui's violent words were heard by others and passed on to the discipline committee or teacher, it would at least be worth a cup of tea.

"Haha." Ishigami was amused by this, "Xingyuan, you are really loyal."

"So do you still want to go to class?" Xing Yuanhui saw that Shi Shang's legs were no longer so weak, so he walked to the side and asked, "With your current special status, I think no one can do anything to you if you skip class."

Ishigami scratched his head and said, "That's not a good idea, is it? There's no need for you to skip class with me."

"Well, I have a plan to take classes now. Do you want to?" Xing Yuanhui asked with a raised eyebrow.

"What plan?" Ishigami asked curiously.

Hearing his tone of agreement, Xing Yuanhui swept his foot across Shi Shang's feet, clamped him around his waist while he was suspended in mid-air, and pushed him directly against the wall of the teaching building, saying with a smile: "Of course the line segment between two points is the shortest!"

Chapter 1: Cut! Deng! Ju! Cat!

Since the Ishigami investigation, except for the unforgettable classic scene where the new accountant of the student union, Xiang Yi, left a lifetime of chitchat at the new general affairs office, Shuchiin has been living in a daily life that is not so daily...

Oh, if you can ignore the can Gundam created by the board game department and applying for the job of security guard at the door of the board game department, then it is indeed a daily life.

Looking back on that day, the bored Xingyuanhui and Ishigami rushed to the sofa as soon as they entered the door, lying on it and playing games to pass the time. Kaguya was making tea in the corner, and Shirogane was immersed in endless documents. Fujiwara Chika, who was supposed to appear, was nowhere to be seen.

"Ok! Got it!" Xing Yuanhui and Ishigami, who was equally happy, high-fived each other. Unknowingly, they had become the eldest and second sons who were not yet adults and were incompetent. They completely ignored their "father" who had to deal with work during his lunch break.

Xing Yuanhui looked at the missing eldest daughter of the slacking off trio and couldn't help but sigh.

A classmate saw his melancholy and pretended to wipe away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, saying with emotion: "I don't know how Fujiwara-senpai is doing. It's really a nostalgic time~."

Since his relationship with Iino returned to normal, Ishigami was finally able to gradually correct his evolutionary direction and evolve like a normal person.

There is no need to be like a century-old zombie dug out from a grave, hunched over all day long, growing towards 1.6 meters tall, staring at the lively boys and girls in school with sighs, and gritting your teeth at the couples.

Of course, there is still a minimum distance that must be maintained. If it is within five meters, it is like putting a light in front of the eyes of a moth wandering at night. Ishigami can hear the man's caressing voice and the woman's coquettish voice with his eyes closed. His eyeballs will break through the visual defense line of his eyelids, and his brain will want to rush forward to fight with his extremely unhappy body.

"Yeah..." Listening to Shi Shang's words, Xing Yuanhui closed his eyes and nodded repeatedly, saying, "How about we go see her later and bring some gifts, otherwise it would be rude."

Seeing that the two of them started talking nonsense again, Shirogane and Kaguya listened and laughed, but did not respond to them and just minded their own business.

Chika Fujiwara has been busy with her amazing plan recently with the other two members of the board game club, and for a while she has rarely been seen even in the student council.

One day, Xing Yuanhui went to the club building for a stroll and was rejected by the board game department.

Looking at the words posted on the door, "Non-board game club members and dogs are not allowed to enter! Xingyuan-san also applies!", he sighed inwardly at the decline of morals and shook his head repeatedly.

I was an honorary member of the board game club a few days ago, but today I found myself sitting at the same table with a dog. You never know what will happen!

But he was not angry. He walked a few more steps to the next club to borrow a pen, and listened to the sound of the three Chaos Demons holding their breath and leaking air inside.

This is probably because he was not expected to turn back suddenly, and the oxygen content in his mouth was not enough?

Seriously, what’s going on?

Without trying to figure out how they recognized him through the shadow in the window, or exposing him directly with a shout, Xing Yuanhui wrote on the paper excitedly, "Today my physical education class is the last one in the morning, but since my senior is so busy, I'll just forget it. After all, eating too many desserts is not good for your health."

Looking at his own elegant handwriting, Xing Yuanhui nodded with satisfaction, returned the pen and left.

In the afternoon, according to the on-site report of the mysterious duo from the News Department, at the end of the lunch break in the club building, a sharp scream similar to that of someone being frightened by weight problems was heard from the second floor.

Because it matches the sound of her good partner Karin standing on the scale, full of annoyance and surprise, and on top of that, she was also shy about being known by her friends, so I’m making a special note here…

On the original manuscript of the News Department, the tip of the pen left a scratch on the paper. The minister wrote the word "read" and after three seconds of silence, he pretended nothing had happened.

At the end of that day, the eldest daughter of the student union finally showed up. As soon as she arrived, she grabbed Xing Yuanhui's tie and shook it continuously, bombarding Xing Yuanhui's face with murderous eyes.

"Ahhh! Now even Giga knows that I've gained weight and won't let me eat my cakes anymore. I'm dying!!!" Seeing that the armor could not be broken, Fujiwara Chika closed her eyes and tried her best to shake him.

Even if it's like an ant trying to shake a tree, I'm going to teach you a lesson today! Let you see the results of the after-meal training plan in less than a month!

Hearing this, Xing Yuanhui pointed out one thing with difficulty and corrected: "I didn't write that you were fat, I was just hinting at it. If you take that paper to court, the judge won't agree..."

For the sake of his clothes, the fearless system cheater gave in again. The clothes from Xiuzhiyuan had been ordered for a long time, and Xing Yuanhui didn't want to wait.

After that, Xing Yuanhui specially accompanied the Crown Princess to the arcade to have fun, and also invited other members of the student union. In the end, in order to make Fujiwara Chika feel that her punishment method had hit the weak spot, she stared at the wallet that had not been replenished in time and sighed repeatedly.

After all, when looking at an empty wallet and sighing, even the most ruthless person will reveal his or her gentle side, right?

The sound of footsteps interrupted Xingyuan Hui's thoughts. When Kaguya, who came over with tea, heard Xingyuan Hui practicing his own twisted theory - "whoever is not here will be criticized" theory, she put down the tea helplessly and shook her head and said, "Xingyuan classmate, have you forgotten the lesson you learned from being exploited by Fujiwara classmate last time?"

They are not like Fujiwara Chika, who have never seen Xing Yuanhui's generosity and don't know that all these are actually a drop in the bucket for him.

But in order to prevent the younger generation from being sad, she and the president kept calculating which claw machine had the more sensitive claws and how much food could be used to restore Xing Yuanhui's health.

I played games for half an hour less, but my math score improved by one point.

However, when they said it was a lot, they just saw that Xing Yuanhui's wallet was empty. The card was not lost, he was just too lazy to withdraw money and put it into his wallet.

"Heh~." Xing Yuanhui sneered, leaned back on the sofa and spread his hands like a rich second-generation rich man, and wanted to cross his legs but was knocked down by Kaguya.

He was not angry, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a small amount of money. Being happy is the most important thing."

The other three people complained in their hearts: We have emptied our wallets, and it’s still just a small amount of money?

"Really?"

Someone suddenly spoke behind Xing Yuanhui. She squatted on the side, blinking her eyes, looking very pitiful.

Kaguya covered her mouth and laughed secretly - did you think that the footsteps just now were mine?

"Master Xingyuan~." Fujiwara Chika dragged out the last note of her voice, intending to annoy this unworthy son of a financially independent family to death, "I finally got the board game club's work done today, can you reward me by going to the arcade again?"

She squatted down and said this in Xing Yuanhui's ear. The words were wrapped in a warm breath, like a soft feather tickling his ears. Xing Yuanhui got goose bumps as a conditioned reflex. After tactically moving on the sofa, he stared at Fujiwara Chika cautiously.

"Men and women should not touch each other, stay away from me." Xing Yuanhui looked at the senior sister with a bow tie who stood up with regret, and scolded, "How can a girl talk like this? I'm going to contact the discipline committee to shoot you!"

"Tsk." Fujiwara Chika felt bored and didn't respond to Xing Yuanhui's words. She just pointed her finger at his forehead and taught him, "Don't spend money recklessly, I won't tell you."

After all, if he answered the call and said it was useless, Xing Yuanhui would immediately increase his firepower and ask him to call the teacher or the parents, which would be meaningless.

"..." He stared at Fujiwara Chika with wide eyes, and said in disbelief, "You ate the cake I bought, and then used the coins I exchanged at the counter to give the arcade a good performance. If it weren't for Ishigami and I, we wouldn't even have achieved our goal of taking a doll home each."

It was obvious at first glance that this girl had rarely been to an arcade. She started to peek in as soon as she entered. When the boss saw her like this, he laughed so hard that his face broke, and his mouth opened more exaggeratedly than that of a clown.

After all, regulars are the ones who play for a day with a few coins. Although they are happy to act as a beacon to attract high-level players around, it is not enough to just have a human presence.

Fujiwara Chika's face turned red on the spot. She knew that if it weren't for Shirogane and Kaguya giving orders and Hoshigen Teru and Ishigami acting as thugs, they would probably be on the boss' mind that day. She snorted.

It's best to go to the arcade with friends! Because if someone is not convinced, you can just fight them, just throw a coin and they won't say anything. The boss likes this the most.

However, when he saw the other four people suddenly turned back to play with the claw machine, the boss could only hold back his breath and groan, almost lying on the ground and forcibly closing the store. He gave up his seat to his employees with a pale face, and went to the backstage lounge and ignored what was happening outside.

After all, it took less than ten minutes to play and one coin was exchanged for a prize, sometimes a small doll, sometimes a small figurine. Any boss who saw it would be confused, and the fact that he didn't take the life-saving pill immediately was a manifestation of his profound skills.

Then they looked at the staff who walked over cautiously and said they wanted to check the machine. Xing Yuanhui and Ishigami smiled bitterly at each other, and ordered Fujiwara Chika to come over and cooperate with them to push the president and vice-president, who were born to be busy, to the back to play games.

There are too many prizes to be won. If you run away now, the things in your hands will be too hot.

Moreover, this store was specially recommended by Ishigami. He is a regular customer and often makes offline appointments with others here. It would be bad if the boss gives him a look in the future.

For example, remove the spring under a button on the machine he often uses...

"Hehe..." Fujiwara Chika scratched her head and laughed awkwardly. She was indeed having a lot of fun. She even went to look at the pachinko game that she had completed but had never played before. She got one more board game material!

The offensive and defensive situations were different, so she had no choice but to take out the mysterious tool that she and the two people from the board game club had made together and handed it to Xing Yuanhui, placing it on the table. She said "here" and gestured, letting him look at this crude thing wrapped in newspaper.

Xing Yuanhui looked at her, then looked at the "box" that shook even when a gust of wind blew, and hesitantly asked, "Is this your new board game? Is the board game department's funding already in such a dire situation?"

Looking more closely, I see that this newspaper is the campus newspaper of the News Department. No wonder you are receiving special attention from the News Department. Even if everyone knows that this newspaper is waste paper, you can't show it so obviously.

At least put it in a special edition hard cover of the News Department. People may not recognize it. Even if they do, they may think you are collecting it as a peripheral product and may even thank you.

"Well, although it's quite controversial, this is not a new board game..." Fujiwara Chika pointed her fingers, put her fist to her mouth and coughed lightly, then immediately transformed into a host and played the opening music of the TV show with her ventriloquism.

"Ding-ding! Can you please guess what's inside?"

Fujiwara Chika's call also called Shirogane over, and the president was looking at the paper box with interest.

It’s a good time to take a break... What can be put in such a fragile paper box?

Baiyin pondered over this object, which was about 40 centimeters tall and wide. Since Fujiwara had been absent for a while due to participating in the activities of the board game club, it must be some kind of game prop?

"Dice?" The president remembered the last time he was treated as a dragon. The dice seemed to be about this size.

"Beep!" Fujiwara Chika imitated the sound effect of the host on TV responding to the guest's wrong answer, "Wrong answer, zero points."

Kaguya followed behind Shirogane and immediately answered, "Hat?"

Fujiwara Chika once privately asked her (forced) to fantasize about a perfect hat in order to show her super detective identity to the world.

Although there are not too many sizes, but in the absence of any clues, just guess one at random. Maybe your score will be higher than others.

As expected, just as Kaguya guessed, the score was given by Fujiwara Chika herself, with extra points.

"Hmm, that's not right." Fujiwara Chika wrinkled her nose, seeming to have a hard time making a judgment. After a pause, she gave a score, "Although it's wrong, I like it very much! Six points, passing."

Then she turned to Ishigami and it looked like Xing Yuanhui was the last one.

"Me?" Ishigami pointed at himself. He had just been kicked out of the game world in one go by "Che! Deng! Ju! Cat!" and didn't look like he really understood the situation.

"Just guess anything. Countdown is ten seconds! Ten, nine..." Fujiwara Chika explained carelessly and started counting down regardless of whether Ishigami understood it or not.

"Uh, this..." Ishigami was suddenly overwhelmed by the urgency of time running out, and his eyes kept flashing back and forth between Fujiwara Chika and the paper box.

"...Zero!" Fujiwara Chika clapped her hands, announcing the end of time, "Okay, Ishigami-san, what is this?"

Ishigami took one last look at Fujiwara Chika and said hesitantly, "Bow-knot headdress?"

I'm sorry that he could only think of this thing that the senior sister had on her head every day for a short time. Although it might be a little big according to the size of the box, maybe its final evolution route would be a boomerang!

After a lot of thought, Otaku finally believed it and was looking at Fujiwara Chika expectantly.

Fujiwara Chika crossed her chest and shook her head, saying, "How can it be so big? And it's too obvious that you're trying to get close to me, so I give you a minus."

“There’s still a chance of getting negative points!” Ishigami couldn’t accept it for a moment and was staring at Senior Sister with Butterfly Knot with resentment.

But it was simply impossible for Ishigami, who was missing an eye, to attack with his eyes. Fujiwara Chika ignored him and turned to Xingyuan Hui and asked, "Okay, Xingyuan classmate, it's your turn. I'll give you a hint. It's related to you."

"With me?" Xing Yuanhui stroked his face strangely, feeling the touch of the fine stubble on his fingers, puzzled.

I didn't see anything in your window? And me? My honorary member title? No, how could this be such a normal answer...

Wisdom flashed through his mind, and Xing Yuanhui planned to win by surprise. He said firmly: "I know, it must be my application for joining the board game club! It was even wrapped in a torn paper box, which was obviously to arouse my sympathy!"

"No way! Am I that kind of person? And this box is so big and only holds a piece of paper. Are we boring?" She twitched her face, obviously dissatisfied with the answer.

But she didn't give any points. She just reached out to the paper box silently, lifted it up, and let the contents see the light again.

Inside is a headless knight model made of a can. It has not been painted yet and exudes a silver metallic luster.

"Hehe~." The pink-haired senior hummed, with her hands on her hips, and said happily, "If you guessed wrong, be careful that he climbs onto your bed in the middle of the night and stabs you."

in bed?

Xing Yuanhui raised his eyebrows, pointed at the thing and asked, "You want to give this to me?"
