monosyllable echo

"Um...senpai, may I ask...can you give me a copy of the new leaflet of the Student Union?"

Standing in front of him was a boy with pink complexion and faltering speech.

"Certainly, here."

Although he handed out the flyer, but after he took the flyer, his face suddenly flushed with blood, and he ran away without reading the flyer. Is it really okay?

Uh... I don't know how many students it is, the student who ran away like a superman after receiving the flyer... This year's freshman... Is it really okay? ?

"Pfft! Hahahahaha! It's so funny!" Just when I was confused and worried about this elementary school boy who ran away, there was an unignorable laughing voice beside me, "Xiao Jiu~~Hello cute~~”

Although I was called Xiao Jiu, there is no doubt that the person who looked up and saw must be her, but how to put it, I was really surprised--the surprise was not that the person in front of me was Suzuhara Sparks, but that the person in front of me was Suzuhara Sparks in the Xingyue Academy uniform.

Therefore, when he spoke again, he inevitably took on a hesitant tone: "Spark...?"

"That's right~ This is the first-year freshman who has just entered the Astronomy Department of Xingyue Academy--Suzuhara Sparks~~ So, please continue to teach me a lot in the future~ Sister Xiaojiu~~"

Well, so, this is equivalent to an explanation of the current situation, but, "What were you laughing at?" Sure enough, I still have to ask.

The eyebrows and eyes were curved as expected, and then there was a burst of sparks and a sudden burst of laughter. I stood there and waited for a long time, but I didn't wait for the answer. The thick stack of leaflets in his hand knocked Sparks on the head, "So, what are you laughing at?"

"Ahaha, hey, it really can't be done. I'm laughing at Xiaojiu, you are stupid!" This is a complete sentence squeezed out by Spark, who is holding his stomach and is about to die of laughter.

I go!spark you...

"Then...that, senior, may I ask which club flyer did you distribute?" Before I had time to get angry, I was asked by a junior who suddenly walked up to me.It's really... Junior, don't you see the three big characters shining on the signboard next to me-"Student Union"? !

Holding back my temper, I replied, "It's the student union's recruitment flyer."

After the boy met my eyes, he was like this again, and suddenly became evasive. Am I... Scary?If that's the case, why did you come over to talk to me?Obviously I'm not the only one handing out flyers for the student union!Isn't Kazuki not far from me there?

"Well, senior sister, can you show me the flyer? I really want to join the student council."

Faced with such a question, of course I would not refuse, so I habitually handed over the flyer: "Here you are, we welcome you to join us!"

"Hmm! Hmm!!" The junior who took the flyer and left at the speed of light left behind such a loud answer...

here we go again! ! !what is going on? !

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Oh heh heh heh heh heh~~"

... This time, in addition to Spark's unfeminine "puhaha" laughter, there was such a monstrous laughter from behind. Sure enough, it could only be Shiroshiro Sakura.

"So... what are you laughing at!!!" Being ridiculed several times, no matter how good-tempered a person is, he will get angry, not to mention, my temper is not very good.

Walking over with twists and turns, Baiyin threw out a sentence: "Natsume-san, you really don't understand the heart of a boy with a powder puff! You can't do this! You can't be a competent senior sister!"

What kind of boyish heart, still powdery? !Also, is there any inevitable connection between this and being able to be a competent senior sister?

Seeing that I didn't respond, Huo Hua looked at me with a hateful expression: "Xiao Jiu, you can't do this! Just looking at you now, I can imagine how many innocent teenagers you have hurt unintentionally! Right, this senior?"

"That's right! This junior girl, your analysis is very good!" Bai Yin nodded fiercely with an expression of agreement that couldn't be done.

"Uh, this senior, what's your name? I'm Hana Suzuhara, a first-year student in the Department of Astronomy." This is Hikaru Suzuhara with a bright smile.

"Oh~ Hello, Huohuajiang~ I am Shiroyin Sakurashiro, a second-year Western Astrology Department~ I am also the head of the news department of Xingyue Academy, please trouble me if you have anything to do in the future!" .

Uh, where the hell is this!Why did you guys start introducing yourself to yourself? !Don't ignore me hey!I'm going crazy! !

"Hey! Don't be lazy, you guys! Why do you start chatting together! Work!" As if he couldn't stand us, Kazuki rushed over angrily and said "pa", "pa" and "pa" three times, falling Accurate and powerful.

"Hey!"

"Oh!"

"ah!"

... Kazuki Shiranui!Which one of your eyes saw me chatting ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

I walked over aggressively, I was really fed up, first I was ridiculed, and then I was knocked on the head, who the hell did I provoke?However, when I was walking towards him, Kazuki's eyes suddenly fixed in one direction, and then he murmured unconsciously: "Tsukiko..."

When I heard these two words, my whole body became stiff all of a sudden, confinement... Is it Yejiu confinement?

The body turned around involuntarily, but the head was yelling to pause—quickly stop!Hello!Natsume Jiu, are you crazy!If you don't want to see it, don't go there!

It was contrary to expectations, the beautiful light was always dazzling, the girl was standing there, and she could see it at a glance when she turned her head——the beautiful girl named Ye Jiu Yuezi.

"Hey, Kazuki, Natsume, why are you so dazed?" Seeing us motionless, Shirogane asked curiously as he walked over rubbing his head.

...I don't know what to say, I just looked at that girl, and then looked at Kazuki beside me.

Following our gaze, everyone will see that girl as expected.

Sure enough, as soon as this thought flashed through my mind, I heard Spark's voice: "What are you looking at? Is that the girl with long hair? Looking at her like that, she seems to be lost?"

After hearing this, no one agreed, but I saw a moment of hesitation, uneasiness, and pain in Kazuki's eyes, and in the blink of an eye, when I looked back, it turned into firmness like determination again.

"I said! Are you a freshman?" Kazuki's voice rang in his ear, and passed to the girl with a hesitant and confused face, "Could it be that you lost your way?"

Hello!Kazuki, don't go there!

She reached out her hand to grab his sleeve, but for some reason, she staggered away.I just watched helplessly as his hand brushed past mine, and moved away from me as his body moved forward.

In fact, the distance is not very far.So close that I could clearly hear their conversation—

"I got separated from my childhood sweethearts..."

"Then, did you get lost when you were looking for them again?"

"……Yes."

"Don't worry! This academy is like my own backyard to me. Come with me, and I will show you the way."

Looking at my empty palms, I suddenly thought: What should I do?

When I realized that I was thinking about this question, I was stunned for a moment, what should I do?Why and how?

Then, the warmth from the palm of my hand brought me back to my senses, and I followed my held hand upwards, and what I saw was Spark's delicate face and worried eyes: "Hey, Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with you? That girl just now Son... do you know someone?"

Holding the heat source tightly, I tried to pull the corners of my mouth to draw an arc: "Well... To be specific, it should be a girl Kazuki knows."

"...That's right."

"Ah."

Looking at each other speechlessly, when the scene was cold, Bai Yin on the side saved the scene: "Hey, Huahuajiang, do you know that Natsume-san's tarot card divination is famously accurate in Xingyue Academy. , everything is unknown, don't you take this opportunity to ask her to count for you?"

"Eh???!!! Xiaojiu, you know how to read tarot cards?! Why didn't you tell me?! That's too much!! I'll count! Of course I'll count!! Wait, let me think about what I want What is it... Sure enough, it’s still love, right? It’s a fashionable topic, right? Hehe.”

"Oh! Love! Sure enough, it is a topic that girls will pay attention to. As a welfare for seniors, I will be a good person to help Natsume-san distribute leaflets. Natsume-san will go back to the classroom with spark sauce to get tarot cards~"

"Oh! Long live the senior, then let's go~~"

Seeing the conversation start and end at a god-like speed, and then seeing the leaflet in my hand swish and change hands, I was dragged by the sparks to the teaching building.

Ah, it's not that I don't understand, but at this time, there should be no need to thank me, because just saying thank you is not enough to express my feelings.

In the astrology classroom.

"So, what does Spark want to be?"

Spreading out the Tarot cards in front of Huo Hua, I asked those curious eyes.

"Huh? Didn't we agree that we're in love?" Huo Hua giggled and asked back.

"...But, I always feel that Huo Hua is not very keen on this topic. Since he wants to help Huo Huo, he must be able to really help Huo Hua." He opened his mouth to say this, and felt a little regretful in an instant. Sometimes it's unreliable.

"..." However, looking at the sparks in his eyes suddenly flickering, I always feel that I guessed it right.

"Well~ Forget it, Huo Hua doesn't need to say what you want, just think about it in your heart." I said so, and handed over the cards, "Here, I'll shuffle the cards for you."

After receiving the tarot cards, Spark paused for a moment, closed his eyes as if making a wish, then began to slowly shuffle the cards, and handed them back to me after confirmation, "Is that all right?"

"Yeah." I nodded, and spread out the cards again, instructing her to proceed to the next step, "Hey, let's choose four?"

One, two, three, four.I saw her draw carefully and carefully one by one, it really must be considered a very important matter.

I flipped through the pages one by one, and unconsciously frowned: "Spark, do you...have any problems that have been troubling you?"

"Huh?" As if being hit by an acupuncture point, Huo Huo couldn't react for a while, so he could only respond with such tone particles.

Looks like a serious problem.Silly boy, why don't you know how to say it, obviously you usually call me a best friend.

In a fit of anger, I stretched out my hand and tugged at her high ponytail, curled my lips and looked at her, but she was too late to react, "Huh??"

"Spark, the problems that trouble you can't be solved in a short time. Time goes by and everything is changing. We must also make corresponding changes in order to move forward adaptively. So...try to run for class president? Just try your best , someone will protect you when you are tired. There will definitely be!"

It was the blinking eyes again, with forbearance, worry, and doubts all hidden inside, and when they met me, they changed back to smiling.

What a fire! !It makes people feel a little distressed...Silly girl.

Stand up and gently embrace the person in front of you across the table: "I'm always by your side. Remember this."

"Ah."

The answer that came after a long silence was subtle but firm.
