Academy City's opening ceremony seems to continue the tradition of the Daihasei Festival, which is long enough to make people restless.
Feeling the numb signal coming from her waist and legs, Flanda kept a calm face and refused the excitement from the loudspeaker.
(...Is it over over there? I know.)
I secretly exchanged information with Yui who was in another school district. It seems that compared to the high school, the teachers in the lower grades still know how to take care of the emotions of the children.
After telling Fremia not to let Fremia go too crazy while playing in the underground mall, Flanda once again thought about what happened after the ceremony.
The reason why she didn't take her sister to relax herself was not because of today's ceremony and the freshman speech just now, but because she really had other things to deal with.
In addition to the trivial arrangements for class affairs after enrolling, she also received a notice to participate in the ability assessment test, as well as an application to report to the Discipline Committee branch within Kirigoka's jurisdiction as soon as possible.
Basically, every school here has an independent affiliated branch to maintain public security in their respective campuses. If there are members like Flanda who change schools due to further studies, they will naturally need to change their affiliations in the new school district.
.
This is one of the things she has been thinking about recently.
According to the information during the training, once you become a disciplinary committee member, you cannot theoretically quit at will.
Flanders initially chose this identity so that she could better integrate into the city. She also completed every job perfectly, which is why the applications urging her to report to the new branch came so diligently.
Of course, in this regard, Gufameiwei's evaluation report must have played a big role.
Thinking of those former colleagues, Flanda sighed gently and helplessly.
Although I feel sorry for their support, from all aspects, it is time to say goodbye to the 'past'.
Although the future is still very long, she still has the 'time' left.
Actually not much anymore.
…
…
Feng Zhan Binghua walked quietly through the corridor connecting the teaching buildings, looking up at the clear sky.
Obviously at this time, the students of Kiriugaoka should all be attending the opening ceremony in the gymnasium, but even if she walked around casually among the people who were seated in an orderly manner, she would not attract any questions or responses.
Because no one can notice her existence.
This has long been proven.
Even so, Feng Zhan Binghua still kept praying for the arrival of 'change' in his heart.
She longed to chat with others, longed for the warmth in her palms, longed to be able to blend in with everything around her, and even more.
A 'miracle' can appear in her body again.
The dazed look in his eyes was gradually replaced. When he thought of what happened on 'that day', Feng Zhan Binghua's body surged with an unforgettable reality.
That is by no means an illusory delusion.
Although it only lasted a short time, on August 31 last year, she did gain the sense of existence she had always longed for.
To be looked at, asked about, touched.
This is the 'world' she wants to have.
therefore.
(Even if it’s really an illusion...it doesn’t matter.)
Feng Zhan Binghua's eyes put away the previous weakness and became firm.
That moment of chance encounter.
The girl smiling on the high platform.
It really gave her a different feeling.
In order to escape from the 'Mirage City' that restrained him, Feng Zhan Binghua was willing to give it a try even if there was only a slight possibility.
so--
The closed door in front opened at this moment.
A gentle announcement repeated the instructions for entering school, and girls in the same uniforms walked together, passing by her unconsciously.
It doesn't matter.
In the end, there was only one person that Feng Zhan Binghua was looking forward to.
No matter how mediocre the result would be, she was prepared.
So.
right here.
"Please, please...!"
A lonely girl clenched her fists and faced the long-awaited figure. The longing for the future gave her courage.
However.
The answer is yes.
"…………"
Another blonde girl passed by without pausing, and...
What remains in place is the same thin scenery as always.
This 'normal' result made Feng Zhan Binghua drop his right hand dejectedly and lower his head as if to hide his expression.
Perhaps, she is not as strong as she thought.
The girl who had no way to vent her body trembled slightly, her helpless and suppressed emotions trying hard not to overflow from the corners of her eyes.
She was left alone in the whole world again.
Why.
The expression with no discernible expression seems to be asking himself this question.
Even though new footsteps gradually appeared behind him, Feng Zhan Binghua, who was in a mood swing, did not pay attention.
Anyway, it won’t——
"Um...excuse me, was this classmate talking to me just now?"
"……………………Huh?"
The girl with glasses asked softly, moving her gaze with confusion and confusion.
The originally gray world began to turn into other colors, and some invisible film was quickly dissipating from Feng Zhan Binghua's body.
(Difficult, could it be...?)
She quickly turned her head, a hope full of possibilities rising in her heart.
Only this time, the person who looked at the girl with glasses was not the blond girl who made her feel strange, but a girl who had just passed by her.
Inexplicable disappointment flashed past, but Feng Zhan Binghua quickly changed his attitude and organized an answer intermittently.
After all, this was her first real conversation with someone.
(……that's it.)
The side of his gaze blinked back, and in the crowd not far away, a certain blond girl who didn't look back naturally smiled happily.
(Unexpectedly, I only slightly interfered with the "AIM diffusion field" in this area from the 'outside', and 'she' materialized so easily. It seems that the degree of completion is quite high compared to the last time.)
(However, this matter may be a long-awaited change for the child, but as for the chairman, now he has a "headache" about how to arrange this "key" that was completed in advance?)
The girl's gaze turned to a certain building that could not be seen from here.
Although she knew part of that "human being's" tragic past, she had no intention of just letting his "plan" proceed.
The caution that I have maintained to this day has finally gained time to receive its rewards.
Now, it's her turn to continue with her "plan".
The girl standing under the bright and dazzling sunlight murmured to herself.
then.
The girl who put on the new school uniform of Kirigoka walked into the shadows of swaying trees and found a number she had not contacted for a while.
The phone call that was quickly connected came from a somewhat lazy female voice.
"...Why do you have time to look for me? The work of the Disciplinary Committee should not be so leisurely, right?"
