Chief Oda won't complain

After lunch, which took a lot of time and energy, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't intend to be late for the book club.So, brushing away the slight drowsiness after the meal, he led the students back to the academy.

By the way, I left the foxtail lily that Kanae gave me at home. The branches are soaked in water and placed on the desk. It should last for many days.

We walked fast on the way, and we were not stopped by the old people who were walking halfway to talk, so we became the first ones to arrive except Xingyue.

Hijikata simply leaned against the seat and table and closed his eyes to meditate. Xingyue took two small boxes and came over to me: "This is a gift that was agreed earlier, please be sure to accept it, Uncle Odasaku and Uncle Hattori."

I took it over and asked, "Which one is mine?"

"Both are the same."

"what is it then?"

Xingyue chuckled: "I heard people say that giving men cufflinks is a very fashionable thing, so I decided to try it."

I opened one and looked at it, feeling a little relieved.

It is a minimalist silver-gray style, but fortunately it is not the exquisite, exaggerated and gorgeous type.

Otherwise, with my casual life style of always wrinkling my clothes accidentally, I'm afraid I can only lock them in a drawer as a souvenir.

I don't know where Hattori's family lives, but his share will be delivered to him when he goes to work on Monday.

It's just... "Why did you have to give it to me as a kimono?"

Xingyue sighed slightly: "Because this world is really special. It is obviously a complex world that should be the most chaotic, but there are no abilities and battles, and it is unreasonably peaceful. And this is the first time I have encountered I am a little too excited and surprised that Uncle Odasaku has a... world."

What world do I have?

I really wanted to ask more questions, but Dazai, who had come over to listen at some point, had already collapsed laughing at Ango.

Is there something funny?

Feels like a really funny joke was missed.

"Hahaha cough! Cough cough cough—oooo Miss Xingyue, it's nice to meet you, I really hope you can tell us more interesting things." Dazai choked with a smile.

"For example, what is "the most chaotic composite world", can you tell us? "

Xingyue replied quite cooperatively: "Of course, Uncle Dazai."

"Cough cough cough-"

Eh, did Dazai choke again?Is this another joke?

Xingyue seemed not to notice anyone coughing, and introduced it calmly: "There is a difference between a single world and a composite world in the world. The story I showed you is a story of a single world. And the world we are in The world is made up of three worlds."

Dazai nodded again and again: "So that's the case, I understand, then please Miss Xingyue must introduce these three worlds."

Xingyue: "Each world actually has its own name. The three worlds here are "Gakuen Bungo Stray Dogs", "Middle and High School - Demon Slayer Academy", and "3rd Year Z Group Ginhachi-sensei". "

"Why are the first two named after the academy, but the last one is a team? And why is Mr. Ginpachi part of the name of the world? Could it be that Mr. Ginpachi is the central figure in the whole world?"

"I don't want Aru, Aru who will feel that the sky is gray and life is hopeless. Although I like the dark weather, I don't like the garbage world where I am not the protagonist."

The people who said these two sentences were Shinpachi and Kagura, and behind them were Sakata and Sogo.

Sakata taught his students earnestly: "Shh, don't say it so loudly, it will let everyone know that I am the Kami of the world, the center of all things - the protagonist! In this way, no one will try hard anymore, everyone They will all turn into hungry gorillas and rush to hug my teacher's thigh! But teacher, my dream is to educate everyone to be independent adults."

Ah, Sakata's awareness is really high, I have to continue to learn from Sakata.

Sougo beckoned to Hijikata: "Hey, Mr. Hijikata, have you finished your lunch?"

Hijikata nodded: "It's not bad. I ate mayonnaise, crabmeat, herring bibimbap and... Hey, why did you turn your eyes away? Why did you put on the earphones? Why did you look so bored?"

Sougo: "Huh? Don't pay attention to me, please continue to talk enthusiastically, Mr. Hijikata, I will drain my brain and try my best to hear the last one."

Soon, the rest of the people arrived, and Xingyue was already familiar with holding a book club. After greeting everyone, she got to the point without talking nonsense.

The main point of view of the "story" shifted from Dazai's side and returned to my side.

This time I have made enough mental preparations, no matter what performances I see, I will never be as restless as before.

Surprisingly fortunately, there is no stupid mental activity written out this time... Well, there should be none, right?

Everyone became lazy in the afternoon, and the lunch was good and the atmosphere was good.Therefore, at the beginning of the study session, everyone was talking freely.

After reading the first sentence, Ango started talking: "Mr. Odasaku, I'm not a cat. Why do you compare me with a cat when it comes to finding someone?"

I don't have the experience in the "story", but I still explain it to myself in the "story": "Looking for people and looking for cats actually have similarities. When you can't find them, you must first consider the places where you usually move."

When cats are mentioned here, my thoughts inevitably diverge.In fact, there are also cats in the academy. They are three-color cats. They have clean hair and are very friendly to people. They are petted at will, and they are probably raised by someone.

When I first joined the company, it was still very cold. At that time, as long as I bent down to pick up the cat, I could feel the warmth from the bottom of my heart, so I cherished it very much.

Thinking about it this way, maybe I am a cat party without knowing it?

I was still thinking about the cat, and Ango looked behind: "Mr. Odasaku, do you always make metaphors like this in your heart? Am I like the little girl in fairy tales who left bread crumbs as marks?"

"It's a pretty good analogy." Dazai said, "I imagined the professor wearing glasses and wearing a pretty little dress, being imprisoned by the bad guys and waiting to be rescued. Ah, suddenly he became cute! We will try out a drama together on the school anniversary try it?"

An Wu snorted coldly: "Don't even think about it."

Kanae said with a smile: "Oh, oh, actually, I also think it's good to play around like that once in a while."

Ango showed a surprised expression: "Mr. Kanae, why are you like this?"

Kanae chuckled lightly: "After all, the professor's glasses are always very serious. If you frown often, you will age quickly. You should smile more at ordinary times."

Ango held his forehead: "Why do you even call me that nickname... Forget it, that's not the point, but why do you only talk about me, obviously Odasaku-sensei doesn't usually smile?"

I was taken aback when I heard this.Why did it involve me again?

Kanae thought about it seriously, and replied: "Actually, I usually encourage Shinobu and Kana to laugh more, so it's not just for the professor's glasses. But since I've said this, Oda-kun, please give the students Set an example.”

"Shall I smile?"

"right……"

Hearing our conversation, everyone's attention was focused, and I heard someone say: "Think about it carefully, I have never seen Oda-sensei smile before, and I suddenly became curious."

"Me too, why haven't I noticed it before?"

"This time we have to look carefully."

"Yeah yeah."

There is no other way, I can only force myself to show a hallucinatory smile - I think so - but obviously the actual situation is not consistent with my subjective judgment.

Everyone stared at me with strange expressions on their faces.

Dazai said, "Oda Tsukuru's deliberate smirk turned out to be like this. It's unexpected but reasonable."

I put away my smile a little uneasily: "Is that terrible?"

Kanae shook her head: "Not at all, but surprisingly cute."

What?cute?

Could it be a literary irony?

I couldn't help asking nervously: "Is it very distorted?"

Shinpachi shook his head: "It's not distorted at all, hasn't Oda-sensei looked at the mirror himself?"

"No..." I said.

And thanks to today, I'm afraid I won't have the courage to smile in the mirror in the future.

"Actually, it's a normal smile..." Tanjiro said suspiciously.

Shan Yi explained: "It's just too normal and too ordinary that people will find it amazing. Generally, people who don't smile easily will have incredible effects when they occasionally laugh. Some girls work hard every day with this as their goal. "Battle for the love that melts the iceberg". "

"However, Oda-sensei is not the type of Bingshan boy, and he is not covered by that battle plan... But ah! Bingshan boy is really super popular with girls!"

"I won't laugh anymore! I really want to be popular with girls! I really want to have a girlfriend!"

Zenyi's speech gradually became louder, and finally produced some intense sense of melody. Inosuke raised his hands to echo: "Oh! Oh!"

I had a slight hallucination, and the singing I heard before seemed to reverberate in my mind.

I shook my head slightly, poured those voices out of my mind, and asked everyone for help: "What kind of smile did I look like just now?"

Kagura replied: "It's just a very ordinary social animal uncle's smirk Alu when he takes pictures at tourist attractions. It is neither distorted, nor scary, and of course not handsome. But this is actually a disaster! The final travel photos are all the same no matter what the scenic spots are, as if you can see the end of a boring life at a glance."

"That's right." I said, not knowing what else to say.

But it wasn't a bad surprise to hear the answer. I thought my smirk would make people spit out their overnight meal.

An Wu raised his hands to cover his face, and burst out laughing.

He smiled naturally.

Sougo didn't pay much attention to this, and looked at the "story" leisurely, and said to himself: "Mr. Sakaguchi in the book is in a state of no fixed place. He often travels on business, and he lives in a lifeless place when he returns to Yokohama. In the hotel, is this really imitating ascetic monks to practice?"

What Sougo said was the information I obtained after some investigation in the "Story". The next step is to find the target hotel and conduct on-the-spot investigation. I should be able to find some clues about Ango's disappearance.

I don't think Anwu's home is not for spiritual practice, it's just for work.But this doesn't seem to be the focus of everyone's concern.

Sougo: "Mr. Hijikata, how about trying this practice?"

Earthwork: "Why don't you try it yourself?"

Sougo: "Don't worry, if I eat mayonnaise one day and my brain is damaged, I will try it."

Dazai: "Ah, Professor Glasses, look at how much trouble you have caused Oda Tsukuru, and Oda Tsukuro has spent a lot of time trying to find you."

Ango: "That's a 'story', I've never been missing! "

Dazai: "Then do you want to try another day?"

An Wu: "Did you eat stewed chicken at noon and eat your brains?"

Whether it's mayonnaise or stewed chicken, will eating too much really damage your brain?I think about it.
