I, Minami Kotori, Son of the Sun

"So, as long as we recruit enough students, we don't have to close the school, right?" Honoka looked out the window, "So, all we have to do is show the school's strengths?!"

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, so she stood up suddenly: "I know!"

"....." The whole audience was silent. The teacher on the stage exerted a little force with his fingers and broke the chalk, as if he had reached the limit of his patience.

"Kousaka-san, please tell me where I was at."

"Well, speaking of... of course, speaking of..." She glanced awkwardly at the bird at the next table, hoping to get help from her best friend.

But Nan Xiaoniao looked a little panicked and self-blaming, and said silently, "I'm sorry, I don't know either."

"Really? Go stand in the back and wake yourself up. If you slack off again next time..."

Honoka Kousaka had no choice but to lower her face, hold her textbook, and walk to the back row in disappointment. A generation of admissions office director fell like this.

"Come to think of it, it's normal for me to be distracted, but the bird is also distracted?" She pouted and looked at the bird's back in front of her. It was strange, very strange.

"Well, it's all your fault. Honoka was punished to stand." Minami Kotori complained to the System God in her mind.

"This, how can you blame me? She was distracted first, and besides, weren't you the one who asked me how to solve the crisis of closing the school?" Bai Li's face was full of black lines. He hated being falsely accused the most, even if the target was Nan Xiaoniao!

"Yeah, that's right..." Minami Kotori sighed, "What should I do? The school is going to be abolished, and there will be an unknown crisis."

"Come to think of it, nothing good has happened since you, Brother Baili, came." Nan Xiaoniao lay on the table with a listless look.

"What, what are you talking about? Even I would be angry."

"Hey, just kidding."

"Okay, little bird, listen to the class carefully, otherwise you will be punished to stand. I am the system god, not a tool to chat and relieve boredom." Bai Li sighed. It has only been a few days. Although it is a good thing to get familiar with the host, he also unexpectedly discovered that the little bird is a chatterbox.

.......

"What are the advantages of the school? For example?" Sonoda Umi savored this sentence and followed Honoka's thoughts.

“It has a long history! My grandma and mom were both students of this school!”

"Well, that's true, what else?" Sonoda Umi agreed.

“Uh, it has a very traditional style!”

"This seems to be the same point." Umi complained.

"Then... there is a statue of Comrade Stalin?"

"Just barely, it can be considered a little bit." Umi looked at Honoka who was imitating Stalin's fist-clasping gesture, and smiled helplessly.

"Little bird! What do you think?"

"....." Looking at Minami Kotori who was sitting at the opposite table in a daze, Umi and Honoka were both stunned.

"Eh? I think, I think..." Nan Xiaoniao was stunned, and hurriedly asked for help from Lord Ling behind him, "Brother Bai Li, where are they talking about?"

“Just about what’s good about the school.”

"The school was established a long time ago?" Nan Xiaoniao said this without thinking, causing the two of them to remain silent for a while.

"Little bird, are you listening to us?"

“Hehehe…” Nan Xiaoniao laughed, “But I was just thinking, if we can also show the honors our school has won…”

"Oh, you are indeed a feasible solution!"

......

"It's totally not feasible." Honoka fell on the pile of information.

"Yeah, no matter what, these 'sixth place in the Kanto Abacus Competition', 'honorary award in the regional preliminaries of the choir', and 'failure in the preliminary round of the robotics team' are too subtle." Umi still complained sharply.

"Yeah, it would be better if we just kept these awards hidden away." Xiaoniao was a little embarrassed, after all, it was his own suggestion.

"Well, such an ordinary school will definitely have ordinary students who like it." Bai Li comforted.

"Uh, Brother Baili, you should keep this kind of comfort well hidden."

"Eh! I'm so sad and in pain. Give me back my considerate little bird."

"I agree. The EQ of the System God is really poor. Anan's comment on this is 'Well said, don't say it again next time.'" Anan flapped his wings and flew over Bai Li's head and laughed.

"You stupid bird, which side are you on? I'm going to pluck your feathers."

The bird and the god started to make a fuss again, and Nan Xiaoniao couldn't help but laugh. In fact, it was extremely interesting to have a god living in the body.

Meanwhile, Umi and Honoka were whispering.

"Hey, little bird..."

"Well, there is something wrong." Umi pushed her nonexistent eyes, "There is only one truth. She, she has someone in her heart."

"Ah? How is that possible? How did you know?" Honoka's face was full of disbelief. She had never heard of or seen Kotori having a close male friend.

"Hehe, I have a pair of detective eyes. Her uneasy look is just like those heroines in the girls' comics who are in love." Umi's eyes were shining. Yes, that's it.

"Girls'...manga?"

"Ahem, it's nothing. I mean, that's how it's played on TV."

"Kotori has a boyfriend? That's impossible." Honoka breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why not?" Umi asked unwillingly.

"Because... because I don't know?"

"Guoguo, you are stupid, you are not her mother, and even her mother may not know this little secret."

Honoka was shocked when she heard this: "It's fine if the school is closed, but even Kotori..."

When she thought about her best friend who had been with her day and night now turning around and throwing herself into the arms of a strange man, she...

"No, I have to go and ask clearly."

"No, this kind of thing will hurt our friendship. Let's find an opportunity for her to reveal the 'secret' to us herself."

The discussion was supposed to be about how to save the school's survival, but it somehow turned into this topic.

Bai Li naturally didn't know about this. He was still trying hard to make suggestions. Of course, he kept the most crucial suggestion in his heart.

"To become the campus idol, that miracle group of nine people, it must be proposed by Honoka. Only she can firmly tie the bonds between the nine people together." He was looking forward to that moment.

"Hey, is there no other way? You are the Lord God, so please reveal more of the 'secrets'." The bird was still acting coquettishly.

"Ahem, I can only say that you can solve this problem. As for how to solve it, I can only say I have no comment." Bai Li said his last sentence and then became invisible.

"Are you still there, Brother Baili?"

“…”

"Why do I feel that this child is too dependent on me?" He now has complicated feelings. He is pleased and proud to be trusted by the host, but also worried that the host cannot be independent.

It's just like.

"It solves my doubts! He's like an old father." Anan commented pertinently.

"You, you are the old father. I am only in my past and present lives combined, just over twenty years old!"

"Hehe, Lao Deng is anxious again."

"I'm going to kill you, you stinky bird, alone today!"
