"'Ashikaga'...a very old surname."
"........."
Gu Ze pushed Rie who was in a daze: "Heiwei-san? You don't know this surname, do you?"
Rie regained consciousness from the chaotic thoughts, and tapped the forehead: "I know, from Genji to Ashikaga and Shiba in ancient history, the deeds of their family accounted for more than half of the book."
Since the person they were talking about was not in the seat, Gu Ze just turned around and leaned against Rie's desk to chat in a low voice.
"Why did this kind of surname come to our school suddenly? Although it is also a good private school, isn't this kind of ancient family educated at home? Or go to Keio University?"
Lie lacked interest: "It's more suspicious to transfer schools at this time. Doesn't it mean that those who transfer during the school year are all delinquents who can't stay in the original school? There are even juvenile delinquents..."
Gu Ze's eyes widened: "Isn't your idea too realistic? In the manga, this special beautiful boy transfer student is either the airborne male second or the protagonist!"
Lie lazily said: "He looks more like an airborne boss, the kind who uses sweet words to trick the protagonist into trusting him and then stabs him in the back."
Gu Ze: "...Why do I think this setting is quite interesting?"
"Oh?"
A soft voice sounded, and Lie and Gu Ze, who were arranging people behind others, were startled. The master they were talking about had returned to their seats at some point, and was looking at them curiously with his chin propped up.
The transfer student tilted his head, his golden eyes were clear: "Excuse me, what are 'airborne' and 'setting'?"
Rie: "..."
At this time, Kurobi-san is unreliable, and Gu Ze coughed: "It means that Ashikaga-san parachuted into our school, with the setting of descendants of Genji, it feels very powerful."
"Oh, really?"
It was obvious that the person who answered was Gu Ze, but the transfer student's eyes fell on Rie alone, with smiling eyes, and she couldn't help sweating.
Rie opened her mouth, and before she could apologize, the transfer student suddenly said, "Actually, I have little to do with Ashikaga in this era."
Rie: "...Huh?"
The transfer student's lip line is beautifully curved, and his eyebrows are gentle: "The Ashikaga family of this era has no connection with the Genji who founded the shogunate in history. The direct descendants of Genji have disappeared in the thousand years of history."
Rie: "...Oh."
She didn't understand why the transfer student had to explain this, so she said cautiously: "It turns out that's the case, I learned it."
The transfer student smiled slightly, like the first snow in the snow: "If you are curious about me, you can ask me directly..."
He suddenly stopped, frowning slightly: "Well..."
Rie somehow guessed what he meant, and tentatively said, "Rie Kuroo."
The transfer student suddenly said, "Oh yes."
He repeated the words: "If you want to know, you can ask me directly, Kuro Rie... classmate."
Did you really not know your own name?Wait a minute, Rie wondered, didn't this transfer student ask her name when she first arrived?
It happened that the class bell rang, and Rie nodded politely to him: "Okay, thank you."
After class at noon, Lie and Gu Ze went to the cafeteria for dinner as usual.
"Speaking of which, I have an appointment with Sagawa, who is in the first grade today. Would Kitahara want to have dinner together?"
"She said she brought a heart bento."
Lie and Gu Ze walked to the door of the classroom, suddenly remembered something, looked back subconsciously, and found that the seat next to her was empty.
Li Hui hesitated: "Gu Ze, did you see that transfer student go out just now?"
"I didn't pay attention." Gu Ze replied, "Maybe he left after class."
Lie felt a little strange, because the transfer student always gave her a subtle sense of existence, so she was always paying attention to her side subconsciously, but why did the transfer student leave without making a sound?
She didn't think much, she put aside her thoughts and said, "Let's go."
Afternoon classes end at 4:20, followed by club activities.Before leaving the seat, Rie took a special look at the seat beside her, but the transfer student named Hideki Ashikaga was still not there, and she didn't know when she slipped away.
Lie and Gu Ze went to the locker room to change into sportswear, and then went to the indoor volleyball court with their bags. As soon as they walked to the gate of the court, they heard voices coming from inside.
"Look, Ashikaga-san, this photo is of the finals we won in December, in the city gymnasium! Isn't it amazing!"
A soft voice sounded: "Hmm...is this number 4?"
Kitahara excitedly introduced: "Number 4 is Rie-chan! Aren't you in the same class as her and Yuki-chan? On the day of the match, she made a total of 12 dunks, which made the opponent feel psychologically disturbed hahaha!"
A transfer student with soft hair and a softer voice said, "I have a question. Does the number in volleyball have any special meaning? For example...number 4."
Lie stood at the door, her feet hanging in the air as she was about to go in, she swallowed unconsciously, and felt the urge to run over and cover the transfer student's mouth for a moment.
Kitaharaguchi said quickly: "No. 4 is specially reserved for the ace of our team! The main ace attacker in our team is Rie-chan, so she is No. 4~ The other numbers 1 to 6 are arranged according to the positions on the field. For example, the captain is No. 5, Yuki-chan is No. 2, I am a free agent, so I wear the lucky number 8..."
Nami Kitahara was still pointing at the photo and chirping, Hikari, who had already got the answer, turned to look in the direction of the gate, and happened to meet Rie's eyes.
Mustache raised his eyebrows lightly, if he hadn't come here, he might never be able to solve the secret behind her code name of the God interrogator.Hiding it so deeply almost completely eliminated the possibility of Dao Jian guessing her real name from the code name.
Lie stammered: "You, why are you here..."
It was Bei Yuan who spoke earlier than the transfer student: "He is the new intern manager today! How handsome is he?"
"But..." Lie hesitated, "Didn't you say that you won't find a boy as a manager? After all, something like Totsuka happened last time."
Beiyuan opened his eyes wide: "How can this be compared! Don't you think that just seeing this classmate's face, you already have 500 people cheering for you? If the audience behind me is like this during the game A beautiful boy cheered for me, senior, senior must win, wow, let alone the champion of spring high school, the world champion must be brought back to him!"
Lie said weakly: "He is at the same level as us, so there is no need to call us seniors..."
Mustache cut in from the side and said, "As long as senior No. 4 wants to hear it, I can call it anytime."
As he spoke, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled sweetly: "Senior will win~"
——Senbei crit from the beautiful boy!
Kitahara gasped, as sour as if he had swallowed a lemon, but Rie took two steps back, staggered and almost fell out the door.
She often hears it as senior, and the children in the first grade all call her senior, but it comes from boys, and it comes from handsome boys, with the number 4 in the prefix, which is equivalent to ace... The vanity that was hidden somewhere in Lie's heart was greatly satisfied, and she felt numbly, and truly felt the power of the 500 people shouting for support that Beiyuan said.
Rie supported the door frame and pressed her chest, and it took a long time before she let out a cry: "Oh."
This is acknowledging him, mustache said with a smile: "Then please give me your advice, senior~"
……
The volleyball club members like the new trainee manager very much, and the coach also said that he should just become a full-time manager. After all, the current time period is a bit awkward, and the Spring High competition is about to start, and the recruitment of new clubs has not yet started. They also had to hurry up for training and didn't have time to clean up the venue and do chores. Some students volunteered to be managers, which really helped a lot.
Especially in view of his looks... Rie has the illusion that everyone has recently started to pay attention to the posture when smashing the ball, so that the expression should be graceful and not hideous.
And, there is another problem.
During the training break, Rie scans the audience while drinking water on the sidelines, and confirms that a figure with creamy hair is not in the training room at all.
She poked at the first-year school girl next to her: "Um... Sagawa, the manager doesn't seem to be here?"
"Senior?" Sagawa's face was a little red, and she also looked around the venue: "It seems that you are not here, are you going to get a mop?"
Lie frowned and said, "I've been paying attention since just now, it takes 5 minutes to get a mop?"
Sagawa: "Eh—?! Did you watch it for 5 minutes, senior?"
Lie said strangely: "I didn't look at it, I just noticed it occasionally from the corner of my eye."
Sagawa breathed a sigh of relief tremblingly: "Ora, so it's like this... I thought..."
Lie didn't understand, so: "Why?"
Sagawa panicked, "Nothing!"
She pointed her fingers nervously: "Just, it's just a feeling that senior seems to be paying attention to Ashikaga-san..."
"Focus?" Lie was confused, she subconsciously felt that the word was a bit subtle, but it seemed that it could indeed describe her current state, so she admitted, "That's right."
Sagawa: "..."
Rie sighed: "Forget it, continue training."
She walked towards the field, and when she stood still, she realized that her junior hadn't followed her. Looking back, her junior's cheeks, which were reddish just now, were now completely bloodless. What was he thinking: "Tianxiang, could it be that the bamboo horse in the game is no match for Tianxiang..."
Rie waved at her and shouted, "Hey, Sagawa—what game are you talking about? Come to practice!"
Sagawa walked over with a sad face: "It's nothing, senior. It's just a Lily Galgame that can't play Happyend."
Rie: "???"
The past few days have been a bit weird for Lie.The study life is going on, and the training is going on, but she always pays attention to the transfer student next to her uncontrollably.
At first, I was just curious about when he left his seat, and discovered a strange phenomenon.
Transfer students often disappear regardless of whether they are in or out of class, and their departure is as sudden as his return.Unknowingly, the transfer student disappeared from the seat without her noticing, and also without her noticing, he came back again, sitting on the seat with a bored face, and the open book was not opened. On the page the teacher was talking about, he was holding the pen casually in his hand, and the end of the pen was gently poking against his delicate chin.
Lie was very surprised, a student disappeared, wouldn't the teacher find it when he was standing on the podium?Even if you sit in the last row, wouldn't the students around you be surprised?
But no matter what she thinks, the teacher and classmates never seem to express anything about the vacancy around her, as if the seat around her was originally vacant.
She even asked Gu Ze who was sitting in front of her, and the latter only said that she had never paid attention to it, and wondered if she paid too much attention to the transfer student.
Lie was speechless, so she had to continue listening to lectures and training in silence.
It was the same today, only the second class, and the transfer student disappeared again.
Rie looked at the empty chair with only her schoolbag beside her, and frowned, making sure she was not mistaken.
It's so strange... Rie yawned, her mind was heavy, and her eyes couldn't be opened.
Probably due to the recent increase in training intensity, she often feels sleepy during class during the day.
The teacher on the podium was speaking Chinese, which she was least interested in, and it sounded drowsy.
While the teacher was writing on the blackboard, she propped her cheeks with her hands, lowered her head, and planned to close her eyes and take a rest.
... There was a man sitting next to her.
The kotatsu under her body was very warm, and she couldn't help but put her left hand under the kotatsu, resting her chin on the table, and swipe her fingers on a flat board in front of her.
Her long white cuffs trailed to the corner of the table, and the words on the flat screen were blurred.
The person next to her was wearing casual and comfortable clothes, with a white coat draped over his shoulders, and a black gloved hand was holding a writing brush. The tip of the pen tapped twice on the inkstone, and the handwriting was beautiful and beautiful.
His eyes drifted unconsciously to what he was writing, looking a little absorbed.Her legs were curled up in the kotatsu, and the warmth made her drowsy.
—Master, yesterday's report is complete.
--Um……
--Owner?
Someone was calling her, but she didn't really want to move.Lying on the table sideways, she squinted her eyes to see the face of the person beside her, but unfortunately she only saw a dark gray turtleneck sweater, a small truncated neck and a beautifully shaped chin exposed above the neckline.
The man put down the pen, and reached out to her with a black gloved hand, and then she felt the end of her hair being pulled slightly.
"……Owner."
She woke up suddenly, opened her eyes only to find that she was still in class, the teacher was still writing on the blackboard, about two lines more than when she closed her eyes, and beside her...
The transfer student came back at some point, and was quietly looking at her with his golden eyes, which were bright.
In her mind, she involuntarily overlapped the fair chin in her dream with the delicate face of the transfer student.
"When did you come back?" Lie lowered her voice and whispered.
The transfer student blinked: "I've always been here, senior."
……
Troubled by the weird dreams in the morning class, Rie seemed a little silent during the afternoon training.After the coaches and players left one by one, she stayed on the field to continue practicing.
"Let's go first, Black-tailed Mulberry." Gu Ze, who gave her the ball, was also going home.
Lie supported her knees and panted, "Well, see you tomorrow."
Gu Ze reminded: "Don't practice for too long, I see that you are not very energetic during the day these two days, pay attention to rest."
Rie: "I see, thank you."
Besides her, the last person on the field also left.Rie looked around the entire indoor training ground, and found that the transfer student was still not there unexpectedly.
There are not many places in their team that need the help of the manager. Considering the gender of the manager, the task of cleaning and drying their jerseys is consciously taken over by the first-year players.Basically, the manager only needs to clean the venue and check the equipment, apply for funds from the student union on behalf of the teachers at most, and occasionally prepare posters, and there are no other tasks to be busy.
But in any case, the manager must still be present during their training, because it is also equivalent to a club activity, but today the trainee manager did not show up all afternoon.
And just like this, the coach still hopes to keep him as an official manager, and Lie is a little unhappy.Not to mention how much personal time the manager has to dedicate to the volleyball team, but at least he must be dedicated, and he must be present during normal department and team activities.
She was upset and lost strength in her hands.When she jumped serve, she hit the ball directly out of bounds, and even hit it one or two meters outside the bounds. After hitting the ground, it bounced high into the air, which shows how hard she used just now.
"Clap clap-"
Suddenly there was applause behind her, she looked back, and saw a certain manager who had been missing for the whole afternoon was standing by the door, looking at her with sparkling eyes, and said with emotion: "Senior~ you are amazing."
This time Lie will not be swayed by this senior, she said with a dark face: "Ashikaga-san, since you have chosen to be the manager of our department, please at least do what a manager should do."
The transfer student shrugged and said lightly, "Okay."
Seeing that he didn't evade, Rie didn't say anything else, stopped practicing by herself, and was going to go to the utility room to get a mop to mop the floor.
The entire indoor court was full of rolling balls. It would take a while to clean up the balls she hit during practice just now. It would be much faster if two people did it together.
Before she entered the utility room, she could already hear the footsteps of the transfer student walking and picking up the ball behind her. She entered the utility room and came out with a mop, but was stunned the moment she left the utility room.
In the few seconds it took for her to enter the utility room, the balls that had rolled all over the court were picked up and cleaned up, and the transfer student who had done all this was walking towards her pushing the ball basket, It was full of balls she had just hit.
Rie was stunned, how did he achieve this speed of picking up the ball? !Or was the few seconds she was in the utility room just an illusion and he had actually been there for 10 minutes?
Mustache smiled, pushed the ball frame to her side and stopped, walked over and took the mop from her hand, and said, "Senior, you still need to change your clothes, don't you? Go change your clothes first, and leave these matters to you."
"Oh... okay." Lie hadn't recovered yet, she stared blankly at him carrying a mop onto the field, and walked towards the locker room in a daze.
When she came out after changing her clothes, the court had been cleaned without incident, and the wooden floor was so shiny.
The transfer student was already waiting at the gate of the stadium with a smoke-colored schoolbag on his shoulder.
He said in a natural tone: "Senior, it's already dark, I'll take you home."
Rie subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the transfer student continued, "I've been working here for the past few days, and this place doesn't seem safe at night."
"...Really?" Lie was a little strange. It has been several years since their family moved here, and they always feel that the law and order are very good.
The transfer student locked the door of the stadium, received the key, and walked briskly to Lie's side: "Actually, I have already asked the teacher for leave today, and the teacher may not have said anything."
Lie was stunned for a moment: "Ask for leave? Just now I heard you said that you are working here, did you go to work?"
The transfer student smiled and said, "That's right."
Li Hui frowned slightly: "But our school does not allow students to work outside."
The transfer student raised his eyebrows: "Oh? There is such a rule?"
"Yes." Li Hui said seriously: "The private high schools here do not allow students to work outside."
The transfer student patted the back of his head: "Oh, this is bothering me."
Li Hui hesitated: "Do you need to work part-time because of family reasons?"
Mustache responded nonchalantly: "Yes."
Lie is a bit at a loss for what to say. She does know that some students in the school need to work outside to subsidize their families because of worries about livelihood, and even earn tuition and living expenses by themselves, but only when she really meets such a classmate Only then will there be a sense of reality in the heart.
Lie slowly said: "If you are working part-time...be careful. The school is still very strict. Once caught, students will be ordered to drop out of school. You'd better not work part-time during class and departmental activities."
Mustache blinked, and slowly smiled at her: "Senior is so gentle, thank you so much, Senior."
Riei was uncomfortable hearing these two voices from the senior: "...it's nothing."
They had already walked out of the school gate, and unknowingly turned in the direction of Rie's house.
Lie hesitated for a moment, turned her face away, and said, "I'm sorry just now, when I was at school, I spoke badly to you."
Mustache watched her side face quietly, and said softly: "It's okay, I was the one who was late, senior doesn't need to apologize."
The person in front of him, whether as a god judge or as an ordinary human being, is equally gentle.
Lie couldn't help but said: "Don't call me senior, it's so strange that I'm obviously at the same level."
She really enjoyed listening to it at the beginning, but she was called that all the time, especially when she was serious, and it felt like sitting on pins and needles after listening to it for a long time.
Under the darkness of night, Mustache's far superior vision did not let go of the blush on the tips of her ears, a smile appeared on his lips, and a soft light shone in his eyes: "Then what should I be called?"
Lie said: "Just...an ordinary surname is fine."
"Yeah, that's fine." Mustache agreed.
They had already reached the door of Rie's house, and they stopped. Hikakiri opened his mouth facing Rie: "Well... see you tomorrow..."
He was strangely silent for a while, and his eyes were empty: "Uh..."
Rie slowly widened her eyes and guessed: "You forgot my name again?"
"Hmm..." Higakiri maintained a smile on his face, and he was actually very surprised in his heart. He seemed to have been unable to remember the name of the girl in front of him, but it was now that he really realized it.
He immediately thought of the oath his ghost had made to her.
Mustache thought about it, but said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm not very good at remembering people's names."
The corner of Rie's mouth twitched: "My name is Kuro Rie."
"Ah~ I remember." Mustache said with a smile: "Then see you tomorrow, Heiwei...san."
Li Hui opened the courtyard door and went in, turned around and waved at him, saying, "See you tomorrow."
Walk to the door of the house, press the doorbell and wait for the family to open the door.A gust of wind blew from behind, and Rie's high ponytail was blown across the side of her face, tickling her a bit.
Lie raised her hand to brush her hair back, but the wind blowing behind her suddenly became stronger, and the flowers and plants in the yard were rustled.
She covered her hair, raised her head subconsciously, her eyes could only be opened a little in the strong wind, in the narrow field of vision, first a colorful tail swam through the dark night sky, and then there was a figure in a white hunting suit, lithe The ground passed over the eaves of her house and disappeared on the other side of the roof.
Wait, what is that? !
Lie's eyes widened suddenly, and she took a few steps back to see clearly, but the wind around her suddenly stopped, as if she was caught off guard when she came, and there were only dark clouds in the sky, not to mention the strangely colored tail and the person in hunting clothes. Neither the moon nor the stars can be seen.
I must have read it wrong... Rie rubbed her forehead and found that her back was covered in cold sweat.
On the other side, Mustache, who had recovered Fu Sangshen's true form, chased after the monster's tail with a knife, and quickly caught up, cutting the monster into pieces with a few knives.
After putting away the knife, he frowned slightly, and looked in the direction of Lie's family from a distance, with a puzzled look on his face.
It's just a spirit split, and even the Fusangshen contract was canceled because of the dissipation of the spirit split, but why doesn't he remember her name?
Almost as soon as he finished saying her surname, the next second, when he wanted to recall it again, he found that there was only a blank in his memory, and he didn't even remember what he said just now.
He went to look at the doorplate with her surname hanging on the door of her house again. This time he recognized the word "Heiwei" and knew that it was her surname, but as long as he blinked and turned around, when he tried to say her name again When I read my name, I found that those words had become blank again, as if they had been erased by an invisible force, leaving no syllables or characters left.
Could it be said that even the soul had to admit the oath of splitting spirit?
However, if he remembers correctly, the oath of the spirit division is: "I swear on the throne of Fusangshen, forget my lord's real name, and never remember it again."
There is a very important condition in it, and that is "my master". After the Fusangshen contract disappears, the master-slave relationship should no longer be established.
But thinking about it this way, his ghost seems to have made another less strict oath: to dedicate his loyalty to her.
Hidekiri rubbed the handle of the knife with his left hand subconsciously, and finally began to realize that since he and the girl still have a vow connection in their souls, it proves that these two vows are working regardless of whether they are strict or not.
"Heh... this is really..."
Mustache is a little funny, it's like the so-called fate, saying that it can't be changed, but in fact today's fate is the result of planting by myself yesterday.
He thought quietly for a while, and his steps became brisk again when he returned to the shrine.
Destiny is never a one-way street, nor is their connection.
It was fate that he couldn't remember her name, but it was also a part of fate that he found her first.In short, he will make good use of this time.
The author has something to say: Hey, I am getting weaker and weaker
Let me explain, Anika’s current ability is modified by me according to some settings in Noragami. For example, the existence of the other side, including the gods, is usually not noticed by people, but they can also choose to be noticed. So sometimes it will produce an effect similar to stealth.

It's another day of being obsessed with Daoyin, Anijia, brother Maru, etc. All the actors are so well chosen!It's almost like walking out of Lie!
"'Ashikaga'...a very old surname."
"........."
Gu Ze pushed Rie who was in a daze: "Heiwei-san? You don't know this surname, do you?"
Rie regained consciousness from the chaotic thoughts, and tapped the forehead: "I know, from Genji to Ashikaga and Shiba in ancient history, the deeds of their family accounted for more than half of the book."

Gu Ze's eyes widened: "Isn't your idea too realistic? In the manga, this special beautiful boy transfer student is either the airborne male second or the protagonist!"

"Speaking of which, I have an appointment with Sagawa, who is in the first grade today. Would Kitahara want to have dinner together?"
"She said she brought a heart bento."
Lie and Gu Ze walked to the door of the classroom, suddenly remembered something, looked back subconsciously, and found that the seat next to her was empty.
Li Hui hesitated: "Gu Ze, did you see that transfer student go out just now?"
"I didn't pay attention." Gu Ze replied, "Maybe he left after class."

"Look, Ashikaga-san, this photo is of the finals we won in December, in the city gymnasium! Isn't it amazing!"
A soft voice sounded: "Hmm...is this number 4?"
Kitahara excitedly introduced: "Number 4 is Rie-chan! Aren't you in the same class as her and Yuki-chan? On the day of the match, she made a total of 12 dunks, which made the opponent feel psychologically disturbed hahaha!"
A transfer student with soft hair and a softer voice said, "I have a question. Does the number in volleyball have any special meaning? For example...number 4."

For example, the captain is No. 5, Yuki-chan is No. 2, I am a free agent, so I wear the lucky number 8..."
Nami Kitahara was still pointing at the photo and chirping, Hikari, who had already got the answer, turned to look in the direction of the gate, and happened to meet Rie's eyes.

——Senbei crit from the beautiful boy!
Kitahara gasped, as sour as if he had swallowed a lemon, but Rie took two steps back, staggered and almost fell out the door.
She often hears it as senior, and the children in the first grade all call her senior, but it comes from boys, and it comes from handsome boys, with the number 4 in the prefix, which is equivalent to ace... The vanity that was hidden somewhere in Lie's heart was greatly satisfied, and she felt numbly, and truly felt the power of the 500 people shouting for support that Beiyuan said.
Rie supported the door frame and pressed her chest, and it took a long time before she let out a cry: "Oh."
This is acknowledging him, mustache said with a smile: "Then please give me your advice, senior~"
……
The volleyball club members like the new trainee manager very much, and the coach also said that he should just become a full-time manager. After all, the current time period is a bit awkward, and the Spring High competition is about to start, and the recruitment of new clubs has not yet started. They also had to hurry up for training and didn't have time to clean up the venue and do chores. Some students volunteered to be managers, which really helped a lot.
Especially in view of his looks... Rie has the illusion that everyone has recently started to pay attention to the posture when smashing the ball, so that the expression should be graceful and not hideous.
And, there is another problem.
During the training break, Rie scans the audience while drinking water on the sidelines, and confirms that a figure with creamy hair is not in the training room at all.
She poked at the first-year school girl next to her: "Um... Sagawa, the manager doesn't seem to be here?"
"Senior?" Sagawa's face was a little red, and she also looked around the venue: "It seems that you are not here, are you going to get a mop?"
Lie frowned and said, "I've been paying attention since just now, it takes 5 minutes to get a mop?"
Sagawa: "Eh—?! Did you watch it for 5 minutes, senior?"
Lie said strangely: "I didn't look at it, I just noticed it occasionally from the corner of my eye."
Sagawa breathed a sigh of relief tremblingly: "Ora, so it's like this... I thought..."
Lie didn't understand, so: "Why?"
Sagawa panicked, "Nothing!"
She pointed her fingers nervously: "Just, it's just a feeling that senior seems to be paying attention to Ashikaga-san..."
"Focus?" Lie was confused, she subconsciously felt that the word was a bit subtle, but it seemed that it could indeed describe her current state, so she admitted, "That's right."
Sagawa: "..."
Rie sighed: "Forget it, continue training."
She walked towards the field, and when she stood still, she realized that her junior hadn't followed her. Looking back, her junior's cheeks, which were reddish just now, were now completely bloodless. What was he thinking: "Tianxiang, could it be that the bamboo horse in the game is no match for Tianxiang..."
Rie waved at her and shouted, "Hey, Sagawa—what game are you talking about? Come to practice!"
Sagawa walked over with a sad face: "It's nothing, senior. It's just a Lily Galgame that can't play Happyend."
Rie: "???"
The past few days have been a bit weird for Lie.The study life is going on, and the training is going on, but she always pays attention to the transfer student next to her uncontrollably.
At first, I was just curious about when he left his seat, and discovered a strange phenomenon.
Transfer students often disappear regardless of whether they are in or out of class, and their departure is as sudden as his return.Unknowingly, the transfer student disappeared from the seat without her noticing, and also without her noticing, he came back again, sitting on the seat with a bored face, and the open book was not opened. On the page the teacher was talking about, he was holding the pen casually in his hand, and the end of the pen was gently poking against his delicate chin.
Lie was very surprised, a student disappeared, wouldn't the teacher find it when he was standing on the podium?Even if you sit in the last row, wouldn't the students around you be surprised?
But no matter what she thinks, the teacher and classmates never seem to express anything about the vacancy around her, as if the seat around her was originally vacant.
She even asked Gu Ze who was sitting in front of her, and the latter only said that she had never paid attention to it, and wondered if she paid too much attention to the transfer student.
Lie was speechless, so she had to continue listening to lectures and training in silence.
It was the same today, only the second class, and the transfer student disappeared again.
Rie looked at the empty chair with only her schoolbag beside her, and frowned, making sure she was not mistaken.
It's so strange... Rie yawned, her mind was heavy, and her eyes couldn't be opened.
Probably due to the recent increase in training intensity, she often feels sleepy during class during the day.
The teacher on the podium was speaking Chinese, which she was least interested in, and it sounded drowsy.
While the teacher was writing on the blackboard, she propped her cheeks with her hands, lowered her head, and planned to close her eyes and take a rest.
... There was a man sitting next to her.
The kotatsu under her body was very warm, and she couldn't help but put her left hand under the kotatsu, resting her chin on the table, and swipe her fingers on a flat board in front of her.
Her long white cuffs trailed to the corner of the table, and the words on the flat screen were blurred.
The person next to her was wearing casual and comfortable clothes, with a white coat draped over his shoulders, and a black gloved hand was holding a writing brush. The tip of the pen tapped twice on the inkstone, and the handwriting was beautiful and beautiful.
His eyes drifted unconsciously to what he was writing, looking a little absorbed.Her legs were curled up in the kotatsu, and the warmth made her drowsy.
—Master, yesterday's report is complete.
--Um……
--Owner?
Someone was calling her, but she didn't really want to move.Lying on the table sideways, she squinted her eyes to see the face of the person beside her, but unfortunately she only saw a dark gray turtleneck sweater, a small truncated neck and a beautifully shaped chin exposed above the neckline.
The man put down the pen, and reached out to her with a black gloved hand, and then she felt the end of her hair being pulled slightly.
"……Owner."
She woke up suddenly, opened her eyes only to find that she was still in class, the teacher was still writing on the blackboard, about two lines more than when she closed her eyes, and beside her...
The transfer student came back at some point, and was quietly looking at her with his golden eyes, which were bright.
In her mind, she involuntarily overlapped the fair chin in her dream with the delicate face of the transfer student.
"When did you come back?" Lie lowered her voice and whispered.
The transfer student blinked: "I've always been here, senior."
……
Troubled by the weird dreams in the morning class, Rie seemed a little silent during the afternoon training.After the coaches and players left one by one, she stayed on the field to continue practicing.
"Let's go first, Black-tailed Mulberry." Gu Ze, who gave her the ball, was also going home.
Lie supported her knees and panted, "Well, see you tomorrow."
Gu Ze reminded: "Don't practice for too long, I see that you are not very energetic during the day these two days, pay attention to rest."
Rie: "I see, thank you."
Besides her, the last person on the field also left.Rie looked around the entire indoor training ground, and found that the transfer student was still not there unexpectedly.
There are not many places in their team that need the help of the manager. Considering the gender of the manager, the task of cleaning and drying their jerseys is consciously taken over by the first-year players.Basically, the manager only needs to clean the venue and check the equipment, apply for funds from the student union on behalf of the teachers at most, and occasionally prepare posters, and there are no other tasks to be busy.
But in any case, the manager must still be present during their training, because it is also equivalent to a club activity, but today the trainee manager did not show up all afternoon.
And just like this, the coach still hopes to keep him as an official manager, and Lie is a little unhappy.Not to mention how much personal time the manager has to dedicate to the volleyball team, but at least he must be dedicated, and he must be present during normal department and team activities.
She was upset and lost strength in her hands.When she jumped serve, she hit the ball directly out of bounds, and even hit it one or two meters outside the bounds. After hitting the ground, it bounced high into the air, which shows how hard she used just now.
"Clap clap-"
Suddenly there was applause behind her, she looked back, and saw a certain manager who had been missing for the whole afternoon was standing by the door, looking at her with sparkling eyes, and said with emotion: "Senior~ you are amazing."
This time Lie will not be swayed by this senior, she said with a dark face: "Ashikaga-san, since you have chosen to be the manager of our department, please at least do what a manager should do."
The transfer student shrugged and said lightly, "Okay."
Seeing that he didn't evade, Rie didn't say anything else, stopped practicing by herself, and was going to go to the utility room to get a mop to mop the floor.
The entire indoor court was full of rolling balls. It would take a while to clean up the balls she hit during practice just now. It would be much faster if two people did it together.
Before she entered the utility room, she could already hear the footsteps of the transfer student walking and picking up the ball behind her. She entered the utility room and came out with a mop, but was stunned the moment she left the utility room.
In the few seconds it took for her to enter the utility room, the balls that had rolled all over the court were picked up and cleaned up, and the transfer student who had done all this was walking towards her pushing the ball basket, It was full of balls she had just hit.
Rie was stunned, how did he achieve this speed of picking up the ball? !Or was the few seconds she was in the utility room just an illusion and he had actually been there for 10 minutes?
Mustache smiled, pushed the ball frame to her side and stopped, walked over and took the mop from her hand, and said, "Senior, you still need to change your clothes, don't you? Go change your clothes first, and leave these matters to you."
"Oh... okay." Lie hadn't recovered yet, she stared blankly at him carrying a mop onto the field, and walked towards the locker room in a daze.
When she came out after changing her clothes, the court had been cleaned without incident, and the wooden floor was so shiny.
The transfer student was already waiting at the gate of the stadium with a smoke-colored schoolbag on his shoulder.
He said in a natural tone: "Senior, it's already dark, I'll take you home."
Rie subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the transfer student continued, "I've been working here for the past few days, and this place doesn't seem safe at night."
"...Really?" Lie was a little strange. It has been several years since their family moved here, and they always feel that the law and order are very good.
The transfer student locked the door of the stadium, received the key, and walked briskly to Lie's side: "Actually, I have already asked the teacher for leave today, and the teacher may not have said anything."
Lie was stunned for a moment: "Ask for leave? Just now I heard you said that you are working here, did you go to work?"
The transfer student smiled and said, "That's right."
Li Hui frowned slightly: "But our school does not allow students to work outside."
The transfer student raised his eyebrows: "Oh? There is such a rule?"
"Yes." Li Hui said seriously: "The private high schools here do not allow students to work outside."
The transfer student patted the back of his head: "Oh, this is bothering me."
Li Hui hesitated: "Do you need to work part-time because of family reasons?"
Mustache responded nonchalantly: "Yes."
Lie is a bit at a loss for what to say. She does know that some students in the school need to work outside to subsidize their families because of worries about livelihood, and even earn tuition and living expenses by themselves, but only when she really meets such a classmate Only then will there be a sense of reality in the heart.
Lie slowly said: "If you are working part-time...be careful. The school is still very strict. Once caught, students will be ordered to drop out of school. You'd better not work part-time during class and departmental activities."
Mustache blinked, and slowly smiled at her: "Senior is so gentle, thank you so much, Senior."
Riei was uncomfortable hearing these two voices from the senior: "...it's nothing."
They had already walked out of the school gate, and unknowingly turned in the direction of Rie's house.
Lie hesitated for a moment, turned her face away, and said, "I'm sorry just now, when I was at school, I spoke badly to you."
Mustache watched her side face quietly, and said softly: "It's okay, I was the one who was late, senior doesn't need to apologize."
The person in front of him, whether as a god judge or as an ordinary human being, is equally gentle.
Lie couldn't help but said: "Don't call me senior, it's so strange that I'm obviously at the same level."
She really enjoyed listening to it at the beginning, but she was called that all the time, especially when she was serious, and it felt like sitting on pins and needles after listening to it for a long time.
Under the darkness of night, Mustache's far superior vision did not let go of the blush on the tips of her ears, a smile appeared on his lips, and a soft light shone in his eyes: "Then what should I be called?"
Lie said: "Just...an ordinary surname is fine."
"Yeah, that's fine." Mustache agreed.
They had already reached the door of Rie's house, and they stopped. Hikakiri opened his mouth facing Rie: "Well... see you tomorrow..."
He was strangely silent for a while, and his eyes were empty: "Uh..."
Rie slowly widened her eyes and guessed: "You forgot my name again?"
"Hmm..." Higakiri maintained a smile on his face, and he was actually very surprised in his heart. He seemed to have been unable to remember the name of the girl in front of him, but it was now that he really realized it.
He immediately thought of the oath his ghost had made to her.
Mustache thought about it, but said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm not very good at remembering people's names."
The corner of Rie's mouth twitched: "My name is Kuro Rie."
"Ah~ I remember." Mustache said with a smile: "Then see you tomorrow, Heiwei...san."
Li Hui opened the courtyard door and went in, turned around and waved at him, saying, "See you tomorrow."
Walk to the door of the house, press the doorbell and wait for the family to open the door.A gust of wind blew from behind, and Rie's high ponytail was blown across the side of her face, tickling her a bit.
Lie raised her hand to brush her hair back, but the wind blowing behind her suddenly became stronger, and the flowers and plants in the yard were rustled.
She covered her hair, raised her head subconsciously, her eyes could only be opened a little in the strong wind, in the narrow field of vision, first a colorful tail swam through the dark night sky, and then there was a figure in a white hunting suit, lithe The ground passed over the eaves of her house and disappeared on the other side of the roof.
Wait, what is that? !
Lie's eyes widened suddenly, and she took a few steps back to see clearly, but the wind around her suddenly stopped, as if she was caught off guard when she came, and there were only dark clouds in the sky, not to mention the strangely colored tail and the person in hunting clothes. Neither the moon nor the stars can be seen.
I must have read it wrong... Rie rubbed her forehead and found that her back was covered in cold sweat.
On the other side, Mustache, who had recovered Fu Sangshen's true form, chased after the monster's tail with a knife, and quickly caught up, cutting the monster into pieces with a few knives.
After putting away the knife, he frowned slightly, and looked in the direction of Lie's family from a distance, with a puzzled look on his face.
It's just a spirit split, and even the Fusangshen contract was canceled because of the dissipation of the spirit split, but why doesn't he remember her name?
Almost as soon as he finished saying her surname, the next second, when he wanted to recall it again, he found that there was only a blank in his memory, and he didn't even remember what he said just now.
He went to look at the doorplate with her surname hanging on the door of her house again. This time he recognized the word "Heiwei" and knew that it was her surname, but as long as he blinked and turned around, when he tried to say her name again When I read my name, I found that those words had become blank again, as if they had been erased by an invisible force, leaving no syllables or characters left.
Could it be said that even the soul had to admit the oath of splitting spirit?
However, if he remembers correctly, the oath of the spirit division is: "I swear on the throne of Fusangshen, forget my lord's real name, and never remember it again."
There is a very important condition in it, and that is "my master". After the Fusangshen contract disappears, the master-slave relationship should no longer be established.
But thinking about it this way, his ghost seems to have made another less strict oath: to dedicate his loyalty to her.
Hidekiri rubbed the handle of the knife with his left hand subconsciously, and finally began to realize that since he and the girl still have a vow connection in their souls, it proves that these two vows are working regardless of whether they are strict or not.
"Heh... this is really..."
Mustache is a little funny, it's like the so-called fate, saying that it can't be changed, but in fact today's fate is the result of planting by myself yesterday.
He thought quietly for a while, and his steps became brisk again when he returned to the shrine.
Destiny is never a one-way street, nor is their connection.
It was fate that he couldn't remember her name, but it was also a part of fate that he found her first.In short, he will make good use of this time.
The author has something to say: Hey, I am getting weaker and weaker
Let me explain, Anika’s current ability is modified by me according to some settings in Noragami. For example, the existence of the other side, including the gods, is usually not noticed by people, but they can also choose to be noticed. So sometimes it will produce an effect similar to stealth.
***
It's another day of being obsessed with Daoyin, Anijia, brother Maru, etc. All the actors are so well chosen!It's almost like walking out of Lie!
