Chapter 6 Questioning Each Other
"Oh, I'm scared to death." Kunii Osamu, a tough guy from the baseball team, acted scared.
Watanabe Toru teased, "Is it that scary?"
"How can I not be afraid ?!" In order to save his image, Kunii Osamu shouted, "That's Kiyono Rin, a perfect beautiful girl!"
"Really? I think Yamaguchi Naomi is not bad either." Watanabe Toru said seriously.
"Watanabe, don't go too far! Although Naomi is not bad, haha." Kunii Osamu felt as if he was being praised.
Keisuke Saito fared better, but was a little nervous. He said:
"Qingye's father is not only the president of a large company, but also a member of Congress. If she thinks we are harassing her, she might ask us to transfer to another school, or even be suspended."
"So exaggerated?" Watanabe Toru's expression was the same as yesterday when he heard that Tamamo Haomei was being kept.
Kunii Shuuyu patted his shoulder in a serious tone and said, "This is Tokyo, Watanabe."
“…”
Maybe it's true, maybe it's false, maybe it's half true and half false, but it doesn't matter what, anyway, Toru Watanabe thinks these have nothing to do with him.
In the afternoon, there are two consecutive art classes, which are held once a week, just like home economics classes.
Toru Watanabe was mixing paint while pondering the white statue.
When he was halfway through the painting, Kunii Osamu poked his head over and said, "Keisuke, come and see Watanabe's painting!"
Saito Keisuke walked over and took a look: "Isn't this an ape man?"
The two of them laughed out loud, and an active female student took the opportunity to look over and laughed out loud.
The young art teacher, who was full of artistic spirit, also smiled and said, "It's amazing, Watanabe-kun, you have grasped the essence of Leonardo da Vinci at such a young age."
"It's just so-so."
After the course, Toru Watanabe, the ape whose gender could not be determined, received a B, breaking his own historical record.
"It should have been a C, but it's just too funny. Hahaha, no, I have to keep it for other classes to see." This was the comment given by the art teacher.
Compared with the members of the art club in the class, there is indeed a big gap, even though they may have just joined for a month.
High school clubs are not just for fun, they are essentially similar to training classes in society, where you can really learn skills. Students who perform well in them are also top-notch in society as a whole.
I went back to the classroom and got my schoolbag.
"I have to gather at the playground! I'll treat you tonight, at the same family restaurant as last time, at 6:30!" Kunijiro Osamu left this sentence and ran away.
Keisuke Saito said to Toru Watanabe, "I'm going to the Computer Research Department too. Watanabe, are you going home or to the Human Observation Department?"
"You don't have to work today. Go sit in the club for a while and wait for you and Kunii."
"Then let's go together."
"good."
The campus was noisy after school. Boys and girls were chasing each other in the corridor from time to time, and some were leaning against the windows chatting.
The elevated corridor leading to the club building was very crowded, filled with students preparing to participate in club activities. The scene of only two or three people in the school as shown in the anime did not exist.
There is no such thing as saving money in reality.
In the distance, like an alarm clock, the sound of instruments from the wind band practicing came on time.
"Isn't the exam next week?"
"Monthly test."
“Are you sure you can take first place this time?”
"First place..." Watanabe Toru thought of Kiyono Rin's 8 points of intelligence, "Do your best."
"What are you going to do during the Golden Week after the exams?"
“Study and work.”
"How about going out to play? For example, in Akihabara? Going to Gachapon? Or trying out some VR games?"
"I want to save money recently."
"Then we'll talk about it next month."
The two chatted as they arrived at the club building and separated at the stairs on the third floor. Keisuke Saito went to the computer research department, and Toru Watanabe went to the human observation department on the fifth floor.
When I opened the door of the club, I saw Kiyono Rin, who was reading a book, always there like a painting.
"Sorry." Watanabe Toru said, "We are waiting for friends from other clubs to come here to kill time. I didn't mean to disturb you on purpose."
"It's okay." Qingye Rin nodded indifferently.
Toru Watanabe found a relatively new-looking steel chair from the pile of trash in the corner and sat down away from Kiyono Rin.
He looked around idly for a while, and finally set his sights on the girl who was reading a book.
Looking at it this way, it is not difficult to understand Kunii Osamu's embarrassment when facing her - fair skin, shiny black hair, slim figure, long legs in black stockings, and except for her breasts, the whole person is impeccable.
Could it be that the unattractive part is the breasts?
What if they grow up in the future? Would it be too arbitrary? Or will the panel be updated in real time?
"No matter what you do, you must think about the cost in advance." The girl suddenly said.
"Well?"
Qingye Rin pressed down the hem of her skirt and continued, "Human penises are not within my observation range."
"…Can I ask a few questions?"
"You can understand the specific meaning behind the bust number? Great." Qingye Rin put her right hand on her small chin and praised in a flat voice: "But unfortunately, I won't tell you."
Watanabe Toru directly asked his question: "What exactly is the club activity of the Human Observation Department?"
"That's what I just did. I'm going to...test you here. People who are too stupid can't join our club."
Watanabe Toru doesn't care about being called stupid, after all, such things cannot be said. However, this club may be the only one in the whole school where students can leave early at any time.
My work on Monday and Wednesday depends on it.
Toru Watanabe carefully recalled all his memories about this strange society and thought about this question seriously for the first time.
"Today I went to submit an article to the literature club, and they were very dissatisfied with me. At first I thought you had offended them, but think about it, if you had offended them , they wouldn't all act like they hated me, at least a few girls would have come to persuade me to quit the club.
In other words, it's not you they disagree with, but everyone in the Human Observation Department represented by you.
Why would you have an opinion? The only thing I can think of is submitting an article... Could it be that you are planning to write an article better than any other member of the literature club, deliberately embarrass them, and then observe how they - that is, humans - react in this situation?"
"Correction: It was not intentional."
"So where did they offend you first?"
Qingye Rin lifted the hair that was blown to her chest by the wind and put it behind her: "I don't take those people seriously, but they are unlucky and happened to become my first target."
"How pitiful." Toru Watanabe expressed his sympathy for the Literature and Art Club as if he was reading a line.
If he remembered correctly, the literature and art club's submission notice stated that the best article of the issue would be selected through a school-wide vote.
The literature club represents the students who love reading the most at Kamikawa High School, but they are not the ones who write the best articles. I wonder if anyone will commit seppuku.
"You seem very confident about my article?" Qingye Rin crossed his arms and looked at Watanabe Toru with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Aren't you the top student in the grade? And you seem so confident."
"Lies. Keep answering."
"...Mind reading?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.
Kiyono Rin tapped her arm with her index finger and repeated, "Answer the question."
"Okay." After failing to change the subject, Toru Watanabe had to get serious: "You have a high intelligence, so I don't think you will do anything you are not sure of."
The girl nodded in centimeters, acknowledging Watanabe Toru's answer.
"Passed. Congratulations, from now on, you are an official member of the Human Observation Department."
"……Thanks."
"Well, it's my turn to ask questions ."
If Toru Watanabe remembers correctly, although the topic started with his own questions, he was the one who answered the questions, right?
"Although I've asked this once before, the result left me unsatisfied, so I'll ask again: Do you like men?"
"Ah? What kind of question is this? Or is this just a rumor from somewhere? Why does it have to be based on your satisfaction?"
Could it be that a girl sent him a love letter and asked him to meet her at noon or after school behind the gymnasium or in the school courtyard, and he stood her up? And since he was always with Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke, the rumor spread that he had an abnormal sexual orientation, right?
No way?
"Answer the questions." This seems to be the girl's motto.
"Of course not. I like pretty women between fourteen and thirty-five."
"That's strange." Qingye Rin lowered his head in thought.
"No one really told you that I like men, right?"
It's fine if fujoshi divide people into top and bottom in their minds - this can't be stopped, but rumors like "Watanabe Toru likes men" are absolutely unacceptable and must be nipped in the bud.
Qing Ye Lin raised her beautiful face and comforted her: "Don't worry, who would pay attention to the gossip of a passerby like you?"
"That's good." Watanabe Toru breathed a sigh of relief. "Then why do you suddenly ask this question? Are you a rotten girl?"
"I'm a normal sexually oriented man, but there are people who don't like me. Don't you think this is very strange? Aren't you curious?"
Watanabe Toru looked at Kiyono Rin seriously to make sure if she was joking: "Are you serious? Why should everyone like you?"
The girl smiled and said nothing.
There was no need to answer, as Watanabe Toru already knew her answer from her condescending attitude.
"Come to think of it, if I say I don't like you, then I don't like you. You are very confident in me," he said.
"Correction: It's confidence in myself. Since you don't like me and you're my subordinate, let me tell you," the girl flicked her long hair, "I've been able to see through all lies since I was a child."
There was so much information in this sentence that Toru Watanabe didn't know where to start to refute it.
The blue interface, which was invisible unless you looked carefully after zooming out, suddenly flashed.
