"Xiao Xin, Shiyu, Yukino, Hui, have some tea."

Rikka Takanashi was like a busy little bee, shuttling among the crowd and enthusiastically pouring tea for everyone.

Her eyes were full of excitement, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, and it was obvious that she had some plan.

If she saw someone's tea being taken a sip, she would immediately spring into action to refill it.

Everyone looked at her with such enthusiasm, and they all noticed that there was something unusual about her today.

Only Shin-chan, who couldn't understand other people's expressions, was still tasting the tea seriously.

"The taste is a bit bland, I'll give you three stars." Xiao Xin said, smacking his lips.

"Do you think you are a critic?" Rikka Takanashi said with some amusement.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked down at the tea in the cup and thought to herself: Could she have put drugs in the tea?

"Dong dong dong."

The door of the service department was knocked three times and then slowly opened.

The originally somewhat strange afternoon tea was interrupted by the knock on the door.

Futaba Rio was standing at the door carrying a schoolbag. She was wearing a simple white coat and dark trousers.

Her long gray hair fluttered gently in the breeze, looking slightly messy. She was petite, wore glasses, had a fair and delicate face, and her eyes were deep and bright.

"Hello, I'm Futaba Rio."

Futaba Rio bowed slightly and spoke calmly.

Everyone in the service department returned the greeting and introduced themselves.

"You are the head of the science department of our school, right?"

After a brief thought, Yukinoshita Yukino remembered this character.

"Oh? Do you recognize me?"

Futaba Rio slightly raised her eyebrows, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

I never thought that I, who had almost no friends in school, would be recognized by others.

Yukinoshita Yukino just nodded slightly but did not answer Futaba Rio.

Of course, she couldn't tell Futaba Rio that she had previously asked teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka why Futaba Rio's Science Club could be established by one person, but her own Service Club could not be established by one person.

"So you need help from our service department, right? Please come in."

Rikka Takanashi enthusiastically invited her in and poured tea for her.

"Thank you."

Futaba Rio nodded slightly and slowly sat down on the chair.

Futaba Rio picked up the tea, took a sip, and then spoke slowly.

"A strange thing happened to me, and I don't think I can figure it out on my own, so I chose to ask you to help me."

"Something strange?"

Shin-chan looked at Futaba Rio with curiosity, his eyes wide open.

"Those strange things happened three days ago. The first thing was that one of my neatly arranged books went missing without my knowledge.

I have asked people around me, and none of them have borrowed it. And there is no sign that my desk has been searched, it seems that the book has disappeared out of thin air. "

Futaba Rio frowned slightly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Then you are as forgetful as I am."

Xiaoxin nodded and said so.

Futaba Rio shook her head but didn't refute anything. She just continued to talk about the second strange thing.

"That day, during lunch, I discovered that the food in my lunch box was nearly twice the amount I normally eat. I cooked the food myself, but I didn't realize it when I was cooking."

There was a hint of confusion in Futaba Rio's eyes.

Everyone in the service department looked at each other and felt that this matter did seem a bit strange.

"The last incident was when I was in class and felt a little tired, so I naturally leaned back, but there was nothing behind me, and I fell to the ground in front of everyone during class."

Futaba Rio calmly recounted her embarrassing story without any embarrassment on her face.

"Those three things, losing the book, cooking more, and falling down, might just be because you were more tired that day."

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head slightly, thought about it, and explained it for her.

"Although I really don't want to brag about it, there won't be any problems with my memory."

Futaba Rio pushed up her glasses, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of pride.

Yukinoshita Yukino narrowed her eyes and looked at her inquiringly, then suddenly asked.

"Can you tell me what the fourth and sixth books in the bag are?"

"One is the Mandarin book I use for class, and the other is the quantum physics book I use for self-study."

While Futaba Rio was speaking, she took out all the books from her bag and showed them to everyone.

“That’s right.”

Kato Megumi opened the book, took a look, and nodded slightly.

"Then you shouldn't be talking nonsense." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slowly.

"While there was nothing wrong with my brain's memory, my muscle memory habitually did something that was not in my brain's memory."

Futaba Rio shook her head and sighed, her eyes full of helplessness.

"What brain memory, muscle memory, it sounds so dizzying."

Xiaoxin is already dizzy and this kind of thinking work is not suitable for him.

“And these three seemingly unrelated things are secretly closely linked together.”

Futaba Rio said seriously, with a determined light in her eyes.

"So what exactly are you trying to say?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and looked at him inquiringly.

"I think someone is missing from our class."

A reflection appeared on one side of Futaba Rio's glasses, and she slowly raised her head and spoke, a hint of fear in her eyes.

"Why do you think so?"

Rikka Takanashi looked at Rio Futaba with curiosity.

"Because the only way a book can disappear without my knowledge is if I lent it to someone.

The situation with the bento is that even though I know I can’t eat that much, I still make it out of habit, and the only reason is that the bento I bring is not just for me.

When I fell down, as far as I can remember, there was no one sitting behind me. There was always an empty space behind me, but I habitually leaned my chair against the table behind me.

Futaba Rio looked a little confused and spoke slowly.

She didn't know why, but she felt that part of her memory had been erased without her knowledge.

"It sounds like he has disappeared."

Yukinoshita Yukino tilted her head, a hint of thought flashing in her eyes.

"That's right. She didn't just disappear from the face of the earth. When she disappeared, our memory of her also disappeared from the face of the earth."

Futaba Rio narrowed her eyes slightly and said seriously.
