Chapter 2 Human Observation Department
【Character: Kobayashi Ayumu】
【Charm: 5】
【Pass】
As expected of a realistic game, appearance is highly valued.
Toru Watanabe put away the panel and walked to the window under the club building.
“On Friday, April 25th, the wind band will perform in the auditorium. All teachers and students are welcome to attend!!!”
"The photography department is in urgent need of models, free photography!!!"
“The Literature and Art Department is soliciting articles for its magazine!!! You can send your articles directly to the Literature and Art Department, or submit them via email. Email: ******”
Watanabe Toru glanced over the flyers for these events and looked for which clubs were still recruiting.
"Spend your youth and strengthen your body. The track and field department welcomes you to join us!"
"The football club is waiting for you!!! Let me tell you a secret: there is a lovely female manager!!!"
"The wind band is short of two tuba players. Males are preferred. No instrument experience required! Our club is aiming for the Tokyo competition. Please don't waste your time if you're just idling around!"
Judging from the information in this window, the wind orchestra is 100% an inspirational and passionate high school student club.
At four in the morning in Tokyo, practicing alone under the setting sun, tears of joy, regret or remorse on the field... Toru Watanabe has already seen their future.
It sounds like this is what youth should be like.
Unfortunately, although Watanabe Toru was born in the countryside, he has no strength at all. Even if he can endure the weight of the instrument, it is still a problem whether he can play a complete song, no, it is even a problem whether he can even make any sound.
He won't hold back.
“Human Observation Department, hiring.
Activities: Observing humans;
Activity time: every moment;
Member requirements: Quiet, not keen on communication, those who have the habit of leaving early will be given priority. "
Although he has not read the student handbook issued by the school and is not clear about the relevant regulations in Chapter 3 of Part 5 of the handbook regarding the establishment of clubs, Toru Watanabe dares to guarantee that this Human Observation Club is absolutely not in line with any campus spirit.
Could it be a fan club?
A fan club refers to a "civil organization" that has classrooms but does not meet the requirements for establishing a club, does not receive funding from the student union, and relies on love to generate power.
Anyway, go and have a look. You won’t accomplish anything just by relying on your own imagination.
Watanabe Toru took a quick glance as he turned around and memorized the floor address of the Human Observation Department.
At noon, there were few people in the club building, but when I passed the third floor, I heard fighting sounds coming from a classroom at the stairs.
On the fifth floor of the club building, in the corner, is the activity classroom of the Human Observation Department.
Watanabe Toru knocked on the door three times. Only when someone inside said "Come in" did he push the door open.
The classroom is spacious, but the space for people to move around is very narrow - it is surrounded by boxes, spare tables and chairs, cabinets, and even a faded globe.
A long table was placed in the remaining space. In order to save space as much as possible, one end of the long table was placed close to the wall.
A young girl was sitting at the window seat at the long table, concentrating on writing something. Next to her was a lunch box that she had just finished eating.
"Human Observation Department?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"Yes." The girl continued to write with her head down.
"A fan club? A formal society? "
"Society."
"Can I leave early?"
"Can."
"Can I join now?"
The other person raised his head, and at this moment, the two people who had been talking could finally see each other's appearance clearly.
The girl was wearing a white shirt with a spring beige sweater on the outside. The bow on her collar was not loose like the other girls', but was tied very neatly.
Her face was as beautiful as cherry blossoms blown in by the wind through a white screen window, and her long hair that fell below her shoulders was shiny black, reminding Toru Watanabe of the 0.5 mm pen refill that broke in math class.
Slim waist and small breasts.
Almost subconsciously, Toru Watanabe used the [Detector].
【Character: Kiyono Rin】
[Age: 15 years old]
[Intelligence: 8]
【Charm: 9】
[Physical Strength: 3]
[Intelligence: I am observing various humans, but I am not very interested in this matter . It is just that I don’t like to do it. I hate people who lie and people who talk too much. ]
[No dating record, can be attacked]
Watanabe Toru was a little surprised.
Although his charm is only eight points, not counting the ones on TV, he has never met a man more handsome than him in real life - which may also be related to the small size of his circle.
This girl named Kiyono Rin actually has a beauty that is almost the limit of what humans can achieve.
"This is the first time I've seen a boy in this school who dares to stare at me like this." The corners of Qingye Rin's mouth rose slightly, without any smile, only contempt and ridicule.
Even so, her cherry-colored lips make people feel happy.
"Sorry." Toru Watanabe looked through the [panel] and looked directly at the other person.
With the mentality of saying something nice when asking for help, he continued, "It's the first time I've seen someone as good-looking as Seino-san. I was infatuated with him."
After hearing this, Qingye Rin put his hand on his chin and fell into deep thought.
Watanabe Toru made the excuse of "You are so beautiful, I heard your name from my friends", and then thought that since he had settled the club matter so quickly, he should go to the library to take a nap, or go directly to Mr. Koizumi to report that he had joined the club.
"Do you like men?"
"What... did you say?" Watanabe Toru changed his words in time and looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.
Met a rotten girl?
The so-called human observation department actually analyzes all the boys in the school, pairs them up in their minds, and then observes them while gaining psychological self-satisfaction?
Qing Ye Lin ignored Watanabe Toru's expression and said in a more serious tone: "Answer me."
"I don't like it." said Toru Watanabe.
The girl fell into deep thought again, and this time it took much longer than before. Although there was nothing to do next, Watanabe Toru did not intend to waste time waiting.
He started to say, “If I’m sure I can leave early, I’d like to join the club now.”
As for whether the Human Observation Club is a fujoshi concentration camp or not, and who will be paired up with whom, it has nothing to do with him. They will all leave early anyway, and joining the company is just a figurehead.
"Okay." Qingye Rin raised her normal little face and nodded: "Although you like to lie, you are worth observing. You are allowed to join temporarily. This is the application form for joining the group."
"I really don't like men." This is the only thing Watanabe Toru hopes everyone can remember.
However, Qingye Rin lost interest in Watanabe Toru and picked up the pen to start writing again: "You can leave early, but you must participate in club activities. Also, come to the club every Friday. Don't worry, it won't take up too much time."
"Club activities?"
"I'm currently submitting my work to the Arts Department before school is over this Friday."
"What does this have to do with human observation? Besides, I'm not very good at writing articles."
Without even raising her head, Qing Ye Lin said coldly: "If you are not good at writing, just write an application for resignation."
I haven’t joined the company yet... Toru Watanabe looked at the blank application form in his hand.
Forget it. There’s no saying that your submission must be accepted. You can just write it whenever you have time. It’s much better than joining other clubs and wasting two precious hours.
After filling out the application form, Toru Watanabe looked up and saw Kiyono Rin still writing seriously, so he left it on the desk and left the activity room.
He went straight to the library without sleeping.
"Excuse me, do we have the literature club's magazines from previous years here?" Toru Watanabe asked in a low voice to the library committee member on duty today.
"Wait a minute, I'll check for you."
"Thanks."
After a while, the library committee member looked away from the computer: "Section D, at the bottom of the second row of bookshelves from the left."
Watanabe Toru thanked him again.
There are quite a few company publications, and it seems that there is a historical tradition of publishing one every year.
Toru Watanabe flipped through it casually and found an article about a high school sophomore observing a freshman. He then sorted out its overall structure and later wrote an article about a freshman observing a senior student.
It would definitely not work if he submitted it like this. He just glanced at the literary society's call for papers, which required a large number of words.
You have to fill the text with some gorgeous and profound words and write a few haiku that imagines the future and misses the past.
After organizing his thoughts in his mind, Watanabe Toru gradually felt sleepy. He looked back at the old clock on the wall of the library. There was still half an hour before the first class in the afternoon. He pushed the magazine aside and took a nap on the table.
As for whether his submission would be accepted or published in the society's journal, he had no hope and didn't care about it.
The warm spring breeze in late April would occasionally stroke Watanabe Che's cheeks with the unpressed footer of the magazine. Every time this happened, he would change to a more comfortable sleeping position.
