Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

because. How can anyone regard a human as a dog?

Are you polite?

only.

This is a student of Shuchi Academy. Even if she has no friends, Sakurajima Mai knows that there are people like Shinomiya Kaguya. Although she has a bad reputation, as long as she announces that she wants a dog, almost half of the school will students or their parents will want to be each other's dogs.

It's just that I can accept this kind of thing.

But Mai Sakurajima was really surprised.

Although I feel that Kamuro-san looks very cold and is not easy to get along with.

As a result, the other party accepted the identity of the puppy.

In fact, as a classmate, Mai Sakurajima had also paid attention to Kamuro and knew that he had very good physical fitness and could probably rank high among girls in physical fitness.

But his academic ability is extremely low. Always ranked last in the class.

It's not that she didn't see her working hard, Mai saw her studying more than once, but unfortunately, she was not as good as other students who had received teaching resources since childhood.

"So, have you thought about it?" Junior Oreki said. "If you want to continue listening, you have to pay the price."

Pay the price.

Do you want to be photographed wearing a bunny girl costume?

And she had already agreed to this request before.

only.

When facing Masumi Kamuro, he is her classmate and also of the same sex, so there is no shame.

Because the other party is still her biggest fan.

But the current Oreki-senpai.

"Speaking of it." Mai Sakurajima said. "It seems that there is a very famous junior student today. He is dating Chika Fujiwara, the student council president."

"That's me." Junior Oreki said. "But that was just a way to increase my popularity, so when I became more popular, I broke up with her peacefully."

Is it.

But can you say this casually?

Mai Sakurajima felt that this Oreki junior seemed to have suddenly shortened the distance between him and her.

and.

The other party is quite direct and decisive in doing things.

So the problems she has here...maybe they can be dealt with.

"Actually..." Mai Sakurajima prepared to respond.

"ah--"

However, at this time a guest suddenly screamed. "There are, there are monsters...the food is decreasing by itself, and the chopsticks are also moving by themselves!"

The direction her finger pointed was Oreki's side.

Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes and put down the tableware.

"……"do not want to talk.

really.

There's something wrong here, Mai Sakurajima.

Others really can't see Sakurajima Mai, but they can see the tableware.

Therefore, when Sakurajima-senpai is eating, she will be treated as a tableware that she moves by herself.

Junior Oreki looked at his senior's tense expression. If he was not mistaken, then this senior was ready to agree to his conditions just now.

Therefore, the progress of the task should also be advanced.

Don't let anything go wrong along the way.

so.

Oreki stood up immediately, "You are so rude. Did you not sleep well last night? Did I offend you by buying two portions of food?"

"..."

The other guests looked over.

It was as if they couldn't see Mai-senpai, but the guest was stunned for a moment by the question.

"Um...sorry." Then he apologized immediately.

The education here is to try not to cause trouble to others.

It can be said that it is humility, but it can also be said that it is not good at getting along with others. It takes the initiative to retreat, and then it can avoid contact with people, and it is called not causing trouble to others.

It's just that as long as you are human, you will cause trouble to others.

Oreki-san deliberately showed dissatisfaction, and the man immediately apologized.

"Forget it." Oreki shook his head, and the man immediately walked aside.

But now, everyone else in the store also looked over.

And this will also cause new problems.

If Mai-senpai continues to eat, then... she will attract attention again.

In other words, dinner will be ended early.

…

Oreki and Mai Sakurajima went to a nearby park.

Now, the two of them were sitting on a small stone bench for resting in the park, Oreki-san and third-year senior Mai Sakurajima sitting on one respectively.

Originally, he was going to the outdoor cafe, but Sakurajima-senpai was probably affected by what happened just now, so he was worried that Oreki-senpai might be witnessed "talking to himself" if he went to a public place.

So the two came to the park.

Mai-senpai started talking about her "youth syndrome".

"Actually, it happened a week ago—"

"A week ago?" But she was interrupted by Oreki-san just as she opened her mouth.

"Yes. A week ago, is there any problem with the time?"

"No, no, just keep talking." Oreki-san calmed down and continued.

"..." It would make people feel strange if he did this.

But Sakurajima Mai-senpai is obviously not an ordinary person, so she continued, "A week ago, I went to the aquarium on a whim, and then I was hit by someone."

"one person?"

"Isn't it okay?"

"Okay, because you give the impression that you have no friends."

"...I don't have friends or anything...I was only in the first grade, so I came to school half a year late to report because of some things." Mai explained.

But her explanation exposed her situation.

She is Sakurajima Mai, and before Sakurajima Mai was a student, she was a famous idol. It can be said that there is not a day without seeing her on TV.

That's how hot it is.

Two years ago, she shifted her focus and wanted to become a student. However, even so, she did not arrive at school on the first day of school. Instead, she waited half a year before entering. She missed out on socializing with other classmates and becoming friends. Opportunity.

Then it becomes that they will respond to you, but they will never truly integrate into the same circle with you.

That is to say.

Alone and alone.

Therefore, in this situation, it is not difficult to guess that she is alone.

only.

After Oreki-san asked her if she was alone, she didn't deny it, which meant that the situation at home was not good, otherwise.

You can go to the aquarium on a date, but you can also go with your loved ones.

So there may be some problems in her family.

but.

These have nothing to do with him.

Because Oreki-san’s goal is just to make her wear a bunny girl costume, and then he can take photos to complete the task.

So it's not about solving the problem of puberty syndrome for her.

rather say.

Actually, Sakurajima-senpai is digressing now.

but.

Oreki also looked at her personal equipment and found that there was no bunny girl costume. In other words, although she tried on the bunny girl costume in the store, she did not buy it.

So while I was saying "Come on, prepare a bunny girl costume that Mai Sakurajima can wear and rush to Karuishaku Park." ] message to Kamuro-san, and he continued to listen.

“It’s nice to be Mai Sakurajima, but it’s also troublesome to be stared at by other people whenever you go out.

So, I often have the idea of ​​a place where no one knows me. Then……"

Then, it became like this.

A week ago, I was ignored and even bumped into while walking from the aquarium.

Then she discovered that she was often not seen by others.

The farther away you are from your home, the less likely you are to see it.

The entity is still there, but many people can no longer see her.

"There haven't been any problems in school, but just an hour ago, my classmates couldn't see me anymore." Mai Sakurajima said.

And the classmate here should refer to Kamuro-san.

…

15 minutes later.

"So, Mai Sakurajima is nearby?" Kamuro-san came over as instructed.

He was holding a bag in his left hand, which contained a bunny girl outfit.

She just looked around and found that the only resting chair in the park was Oreki Houtarou.

"She's on your right."

"..." The divine room.

"..." Mai Sakurajima.

If the experience a week ago, not being observed by Kamuro-kun, and then being called a monster in the store have made Sakurajima Mai deeply realize that she has indeed triggered a supernatural phenomenon.

So now it's more intuitive.

He was just to the left of Kamuro-san, and the other party didn't notice him either.

"Then Sakurajima-senpai, please excuse me." Oreki-senpai said. "After I pay my dues, I will give you a plan to deal with this extraordinary behavior."

"Or do you want to just accept the results of your transparency?"

Transparency... She was harassed by some fake fans and thought it would be better not to be seen by them. So there was this idea.

but.

This does not mean that she has to accept being transparent.

"There are actually advantages to being a transparent person. Because no one is observing you, you can take whatever you want without paying the bill, and no one will notice you eating in the store." Junior Oreki continued to add.

"I'm going to change clothes." Sakurajima Mai said immediately.

Because this kind of seemingly "good" thing is not good at all for her.
