In a crossover anime, do you believe that a machine spirit can defeat a fake human?

Chen Yi greeted him.

Breakfast was a bacon and egg sandwich with milk, a very ordinary breakfast.

"It seems like it's been a while since I've had the taste of home..."

Rice noodle rolls, steamed buns, glutinous rice chicken...

Chen Yiquan knows how to cook, but because some of the ingredients are simply unavailable here, some of his ideas for improving his meals have to be put on hold.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, then jotted it down in his notebook, planning to buy some more ingredients when he ran out.

After all, if you want to eat authentic hometown food in a foreign country, you probably have no choice but to research it yourself and give it a try.

After breakfast, the three of them packed their things, shouldered their bags, and headed out together.

"The new uniform seems a bit tight... Is it because I haven't measured my measurements in a while?"

Rio Futaba loosened her collar.

When she ran away from the mansion, she naturally couldn't take any extra clothes with her, so she had to buy a set online, choosing the size according to her original size.

It can't be... just weight gain, right?

Futaba was a little flustered.

She admitted that after staying at Chen Yi's house for half a month, her nutrition improved a lot.

After all, when you're at home, you don't have the time to change the dishes and come up with new ideas for every meal.

......

There weren't many people at the school gate because it was still quite early, not even 7:30. This was mainly due to Chen Yi's schedule; otherwise, Shuang Ye would normally not leave home until around 8:00.

Mai Sakurajima was a little reserved, but the few students scattered around seemed not to see her and walked straight past her a few steps away.

"...?"

Is her puberty syndrome acting up again? What did she wish for this time?

This question popped into Chen Yi's mind.

"Excuse me, I'm a transfer student... Could you tell me where the general affairs office is?"

Seeing that the other party was ignoring her, Mai Sakurajima mustered up her courage and stepped forward to ask a question.

"New here? Uh... The General Affairs Office is on the other side of the teaching building. Go in on the first floor, turn right, and then turn left at the end of the first floor after you see the gymnasium sign."

When the other person saw Mai Sakurajima's face, they seemed about to say something, but then stopped themselves, calmly finished their reply, and walked into the school on their own.

What's going on here?

Chen Yi couldn't understand it.

"Is it puberty syndrome? Like, Sakurajima-san made another wish or something?"

Rio Futaba guessed.

"It looks somewhat similar," Chen Yi casually agreed.

This feeling, like being brainwashed by a mind control tower... is not something a normal person could do. If it wasn't done by a fake person, then it can only be attributed to some kind of mysterious adolescent syndrome.

"At least...life hasn't changed much?" Mai Sakurajima seemed a little confused about the situation.

Then just leave it alone.

"Speaking of which, Mai is a senior in high school this year, right? Her studies should be fine, right?" Chen Yi teased.

"Thank you for your help. Although I can't catch up with the top student in my grade, Kasumigaoka, I should be able to get into a regular university without any problems."

Mai Sakurajima crossed her arms over her chest.

"Okay, keep it up!"

......

After enduring the long and tedious opening ceremony, it was time to be assigned to classes.

Standing in front of the bulletin board, Chen Yi patiently waited for the students in front of him to finish walking.

"Yuigahama-san, Yotsuya-san, Rio..."

They were all assigned to the same class.

"Could it be that the hand of fate has intervened?"

“I feel it’s more like Hiratsuka-sensei’s big hand.” Futaba pushed up her glasses.

Because their class teacher is still Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Then why isn't Yukinoshita here?"

"No, Yukinoshita is in the international class, they don't have separate classes."

Chen Yi remembered.

"Speaking of which, how about joining the Service Club? We always walk home together after school anyway." Chen Yi chatted casually on the way to the new classroom.

"I don't really like environments with too many people, so let's go with the science and engineering department. Besides, a lot of the equipment in my science classroom belongs to me, and I don't really want to let others use it," Futaba politely declined.

"Where should we meet after school? Should I go to the science classroom to find you? It's not that far anyway."

"Hmm, that works too."

Upon entering the classroom, Chen Yi immediately chose the second seat by the window and put down his backpack and guitar bag.

I arrived early, and the classroom was almost empty, with hardly anyone there.

Futaba was sitting to his right rear.

"Chen, what a coincidence."

His classmate sitting behind him was a mysterious Kato.

We were seated in front of and behind each other again this school year, as if it were some kind of predetermined fate.

"Oh, Kato, good morning." Chen Yi nodded.

That's strange. He didn't see her name on the bulletin board just now, even though he remembered looking at it twice.

The Grand Assassins are terrifying indeed.

One by one, other students began to enter the class, but since he didn't know anyone from the previous class, Chen Yi didn't bother to get to know them.

"Chen-kun? Good morning." Yotsuya Miko came in, saw Chen Yi and the others, greeted them warmly, and after thinking for a moment, sat down in front of Chen Yi.

Okay, now everyone at the desks in front and behind me is someone I know.

Not long after, Yuihama also came in and was pleasantly surprised to see that everyone was there.

“Everyone’s here…who is this?” She noticed Futaba Rio chatting with Chen Yi.

"Futaba, nice to meet you," Futaba replied.

"You seem to be just like Yukino... Ah, my name is Yui Yuigahama, you can just call me Yuigahama!" Futaba's words made Yuigahama subconsciously think that the other person was similar to Yukinoshita in that she was someone who was unapproachable, but she still braced herself and introduced herself.

"Is it the same as Yukinoshita? I feel there's quite a difference."

Chen Yi glanced at Rio Futaba.

Futaba is probably somewhere between a D and an E, while President Yukinoshita is only an A, which is worlds apart.

"That Yukinoshita-san is so pitiful."

Kato Megumi couldn't help but chime in.

"...Pfft." Yotsuya Miko took out the book, then turned her head to the window pretending to look at the scenery, her shoulders shaking slightly, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

Everyone understood except for Yuihama, who was completely oblivious.

"Huh?" Yuihama laughed awkwardly.

"I see, is Yukinoshita-san some kind of stunted species...?"

Shuangye, observing Chen Yi's expression, made a tacit guess.

"Ah..." Now Yuihama understood too.

"Thank goodness our dear club president isn't here, otherwise she'd probably be writing a fuss about our cricket-catching spree."

Chen Yi clasped his hands together.

"Yuigahama-san, you wouldn't easily tattle, right?"

He winked at her as he spoke.

"But... Yotsuya-kun will probably tell on me, right?"

"What? Oh, I didn't hear anything."

Yotsuya decisively sided with Chen Yi.

P.S.: Hedgehog Cat has entered a period of great stillness... No, please! If there aren't any long, thick comments, oh dear~

High school sophomore: Chapter 159, propaganda?

After the start of the school year, there will be nothing but a short quiz, which is undoubtedly the worst news for most students who have had a great summer vacation.

But Chen Yi wasn't flustered at all, even though he could be considered one of those who had barely reviewed anything.

Live for today, for tomorrow we may die.

The afternoon after the exam was the time to go to the Service Club. This time, Chen Yi waited for Sakurajima Mai below the senior class.

"It's still a little hard to get used to being apart from you for so long..."

Mai Sakurajima refreshed her senses and her eyes lit up when she saw Chen Yi's figure. She quickened her pace involuntarily.

"It's okay, we can get used to it gradually. Besides, we're not surrounded like we're some rare species, which saves us a lot of trouble, doesn't it?"

It's a bit better than expected, and there's nothing more to ask for.

"That's true."

Mai is experiencing a slight difficulty adjusting to the pace of the studies...

If I had known that Yi Jun was paying attention in class last semester, I wouldn't have been so bored as to scroll through his phone.

Chatting casually, Chen Yi arrived at the entrance of the Service Department with practiced ease and pushed the door open to enter.

"Good afternoon, President Yukinoshita."

Chen Yi greeted him.

"This is Mai Sakurajima, a new... employee."

Yes, although we acted together before, we didn't submit a formal application to join the club.

After all, I didn't have the opportunity to write this back then.

Judging from their appearance, it seems that puberty syndrome has transformed into something else with a more ambiguous mechanism. They clearly have memories of acting together, but they still act as if they were meeting for the first time.

"Welcome, Sakurajima-senpai."

Yukino handed over a blank application form and glanced around almost imperceptibly.

What was your initial purpose in creating this club?

...Saving the world...No, helping the weak.

It feels like my club hasn't done anything at all...

Yukinoshita was somewhat annoyed. Where exactly did things go wrong?

"Welcome, Sakurajima-senpai! I'm Yui Yuigahama." Yui Yuigahama spoke first.

"Yotsuya Miko, Sakurajima-senpai, nice to meet you."

"Kato Megumi".

Kato's self-introduction passed by like a gentle breeze, barely noticeable amidst the chatter of others.

“Kasumigaoka Utaha, you can call me Kasumigaoka.”

The fourth volume of Kasumigaoka is nearing completion, leaving no time to deal with this rival.
