You say this is a love game?

Chapter 61: Mai Yajima: Gnashing teeth.

Pooh!

Nonsense! Slander!

Even on the next day, Monday, when he was sitting in the classroom, Mizutani Makoto still had some complaints about the term "her beloved".

Do you know if I should correct it?

Why do you make me sound like a lolita fan?

The medium that Satori Yoshiko finally possessed must have been his amulet... Her bones were placed in it, which could be said to be the most compatible medium.

It's just like coming home.

But Yoshiko was still very sensible. She didn't say anything about following Mizutani Makoto around. When Mizutani Makoto was in school, she stayed at home quietly and had no intention of disturbing Mizutani Makoto's normal life.

Faced with this situation, Mizutani Makoto didn't say anything.

Zashiki-warashi is also the guardian deity of the house. Staying at home can bring luck to the family, which is also what Satori Yoshiko meant.

After signing the Shikigami contract, Mizutani Makoto's Touko grew a new Shikigami panel.

Judging from the interface, it looks a bit like the character selection interface of Pokémon.

On the far left, the first item listed was a close-up photo of Satori Yoshiko - of course, the painting style was subtly rendered in the second dimension, almost making him think he was playing some outrageous second-level game.

【Satori Yoshiko (7)】

【Belongs to: Zashiki-warashi】

【Rank: Paper】

[Ability: Avoid misfortune and seek good fortune, bring luck]

In terms of the skills marked, Yoshiko Satori faithfully refers to the legend of Zashiki-warashi.

"Seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster" is her passive skill, which is reflected when exploring crevices, while "Attracting good fortune" is an ability that Satori Yoshiko mastered after she truly became a Zashiki-warashi.

Her previous ability to bless objects was also a manifestation of this ability.

However, at that time, Satori Yoshiko was not yet a true Zashiki-warashi. The essence of exercising her ability was to move the origin of her existence and attach it to objects when her own essence was unstable. Therefore, she would consume her own existence every time she used it.

The unrighteous ability to bestow blessings by consuming her essence has disappeared as she has stabilized - this is interesting to say, because precisely because her essence has stabilized, even she herself cannot move her own "existence", so she has lost the ability to bestow permanent blessings on something.

Instead, there is the "Fortune Attracting" skill that consumes the blue bar to bestow luck on others.

[Fortune Attracted: For a certain period of time, the blessed person gains a Luck +3 modifier, and there is a very small chance of triggering a lucky event.]

“Good skills.”

You know what, when Mizutani Makoto saw this lucky correction, he was eager to try it out.

Luck correction is a hidden attribute that cannot be displayed in real time.

According to Tongzi, a person's luck fluctuates within a limited range at every moment, and the luck correction is to raise the lower limit of the luck value fluctuation. The luck value fluctuation can be compared to a dice with 1-100 sides. The luck correction is fixed at +N after the dice is rolled, and the upper limit does not exceed 100.

The help in combat may be minimal, but in daily life, when you are killing monsters and getting equipment, the luck value correction is really useful.

"And with the help of a mediator, Kako's safety is guaranteed..."

The three exploration opportunities last night have proved that he has the ability to put Jiazi into the "Pokeball" in dangerous moments, which allows Jiazi to participate in his map development activities.

The aloof Uchiha orphan finally has the company of the psychic little ninja cat.

What, Erzhuzi should be paired with a snake?

Don't listen, don't listen, the bastard chants sutras.

How can a snake be as cute as Hakimi?

Mizutani Makoto was laughing so hard that he didn't notice that behind him, Mai Yajima was holding up her cheeks and staring at him silently.

Or rather, looking at the string around his neck.

The girl's index finger, which was supporting her chin, was unconsciously rubbing her earlobe, and the girl next to her secretly sighed with envy.

You see, beautiful people look beautiful no matter what they do.

The clouds outside the window cracked at this moment, as if a golden thread was flowing down along the collar of Yajima Mai... The girl could no longer find words to describe it, so she silently looked away, holding her own face and stayed there quietly.

If even a girl can overcome her jealousy and genuinely think someone is beautiful, then she is most likely incredibly beautiful.

At this moment, this exquisite and beautiful girl had a face full of resentment.

...I really don’t like it!

Yajima Mai puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

Today should have been a happy and beautiful day as usual, but when she rushed to the vicinity of Mizutani Makoto's apartment this morning to wait for someone to come, she discovered something horrifying.

Her Makoto-chan is living with the little ghost girl she had run into a few times in the convenience store before!

Moreover, her Makoto-chan even placed the remains of the little ghost girl on her chest...hidden under her school uniform shirt!

Look, is this human behavior?

How could this be?

She had been trying for a long time, and was just about to take the first step towards breaking through her friendship with Mizutani Makoto - she thought so - why did a little female ghost of unknown origin suddenly appear and directly steal her Makoto-chan away!

So envious... No! Such shameful behavior!

Don’t you have any sense of shame?

How can you snuggle up to my Makoto-chan’s chest every day!

"Snapped!"

Fists clenched, full of envy and jealousy.

Could it be that the Makoto-chan she likes is what humans call a "lolita control"?

The kind of perverted people who are interested in young girls?!

No way...

This is definitely a crime, right?

It must be severely corrected!

She will definitely make Mizutani Makoto wake up - little girls are no match for young and lively beauties!

"Hey--"

I felt a mechanical pencil poking at my back.

Mai Yajima turned her head and glanced curiously at the girl who touched her.

"Hello, what can I do?"

The girl behind her... Oh, her name is "Rika Nishimura", right? She looks fierce and not easy to mess with.

Mai Yajima once tried to build good relationships with her classmates, but unfortunately not everyone was willing to pay attention to her... For example, Rika Nishimura was a strange classmate who she had hardly ever said hello to.

Ever since she was rejected when she greeted her, she realized that she could no longer play with Rika Nishimura.

We obviously have nothing in common, why are you calling me all of a sudden?

Sorry to bother you while I'm peeping at my Makoto-chan.

Mai Yajima turned around, but still showed a perfect smile.

This was the result of her many days of practice. It was a brilliant, dazzling, beautiful, and almost impeccable smile that was suitable for most social situations.

It's worth it that she practices in front of the mirror every day...

Faced with this powerful smile, Nishimura Rika just waved her hand impatiently with a bored expression on her face.

She ordered: "Today, don't rush to leave after school."

"Someone asked me to say hello to you."

Chapter 62 You should think about which club to join.

After school today, Mizutani Makoto was not in a hurry to deliver newspapers.

He really wanted to go, but he was kept back by his homeroom teacher.

The reason is simple: it's about his campus life.

I vaguely remember what happened last week. There are only five days of school in a week, but he was absent for three consecutive days when he was supposed to go to school.

It was understandable that he asked for sick leave on the first day, but he disappeared on Thursday and did not respond until Friday after the series of calls. However, this was an afterthought. He only asked for leave after being chased. The nature of the matter is very bad.

It can almost be determined that he was skipping class.

In a private aristocratic school like Yemi High School, such things that affect the school spirit are almost intolerable.

However, his class teacher saved him.

Ukita Daiyu is usually referred to as Daiyu Sensei.

Daiyu Ukita is 27 years old this year and is undoubtedly a relatively young teacher in the education field.

With short hair and energetic face, he looks like an intellectual with a pair of round-frame glasses.

Not as stiff and serious as the old scholars, this man is indeed very good at taking care of students, especially "specially recruited students" like Mizutani Makoto.

As a teacher, after getting used to the differences among students, it is inevitable that you will pay more attention to those "good kids" who study hard.

Mizutani Makoto sat in front of him obediently.

There were also nosy teachers in the class who cast their eyes on this handsome boy and listened with great interest to the interesting stories about being the "first in the grade".

Mizutani Makoto's admission score naturally surpassed that of his peers. He even competed for the position of student representative at the opening ceremony. Unfortunately, in such an aristocratic school, becoming a student representative required more than just looking at grades.

At that time, in the end, the child of the Yajima family on the school board was promoted - not Yajima Mai, but another Yajima girl with the title of "talented girl".

Mizutani Makoto felt it was a pity at one point. If he could meet the high school student representatives that night, it would add a glorious achievement to his resume in the future.

"I'll let you go this time."

Ukita Daiyu listened to Mizutani Makoto's explanation - this guy said frankly that he was seriously ill. He thought he would get better on Thursday, but unexpectedly he had a high fever and slept for a whole day. He didn't recover until Friday.

...That's ridiculous.

It sounds like it was made up on the spot.

Fortunately, Ukita Daiyu had no intention of delving into the matter. He tapped the table lightly and quickly changed the subject.

Is it so easy to escape?

Before Mizutani Makoto could even express his surprise, he heard Ukita Daiyu say, "Now that it's been delayed for so long, it's time for you to consider the club's affairs."

Society?

Love is waiting here!

Ukita Daiyu pushed his glasses and felt helpless about the student from a poor family in front of him.

"Mizutani, this is your future we're talking about."

"Remember what I said before? I understand your family situation, but I think you need to sort out the plans for 'short-term interests' and 'long-term interests'."

"I can see that you're aiming for advancement, Mizutani. If you're aiming for advancement, then your high school resume shouldn't be completely blank. Being unsociable is a minor issue, but the more important thing is that it's easy to be judged as a personality trait or a social disability. You know, this society places a lot of emphasis on these little details..."

Mizutani Makoto nodded repeatedly.

This was not the first time that Ukita Daiyu had talked to him about this topic.

In Japan, a society that requires younger generations to unconditionally respect their elders, "getting along sociably" is a very important ability.

The reasons for being a loner can be influenced by many things, it could be appearance, personality, family background or something else, but one thing is certain - people who are not sociable will be disliked and despised, and many cases of school bullying also happen to these poor people.

As early as when Mizutani Makoto entered school, he, as the "top student in the grade", received olive branches from various clubs. However, his life at that time was not just tight on money. He really did not have the time and energy to join the clubs with the other young masters, so he just put it aside for the time being.

And Ukita Daiyu's persuasion also started from that moment.

There are many benefits to joining a club. Even many couples start out as club members. For a genius like Mizutani Makoto who has both good looks and talent, it would be a shame not to build up his resume by joining the club.

"Also, my personal recommendation is that you avoid joining clubs that are just for fun. Try to join clubs related to student union affairs, or just join the student union directly."

Then, will you compete with those young masters and young ladies for the position of student union president?

It's considered good enough to be a cadre.
