Chapter 44: Student Council President Kiryu Heiichi
"I am leaving!"
The girl in cool casual clothes walked out of the house. She passed by the door of her childhood sweetheart's house, glanced at the room on the second floor, and finally thought about it and set off alone.
Although there was no one around, the girl felt cautious.
Because...she can see ghosts.
The girl is Suzuki Chiba.
There have been significantly fewer ghosts nearby these days, which makes Chiba very happy, but when she notices this kind of thing, she can't help but think of the man in black robe that day.
That person can not only see ghosts, but also... kill ghosts.
Very powerful, but also very scary.
But I only met that person once, and I haven't seen him since.
Although Chiba really wanted to know how to not see ghosts, maybe that person would know, but she felt that it would be best if she could not see that person.
I always feel like I will be involved in something very dangerous.
During these days, Chiba felt that the surrounding atmosphere had become a little strange.
Oda seems to be very busy, and he has become very close to Himeno-san. They often go to cafes together, and I don’t know what they are talking about.
There is also Yoko, who is unwilling to let the two of them visit her when she is sick. Obviously, she and Oda will come to visit when they are sick.
And... Yoko sometimes seems very anxious, but she refuses to tell her and Oda about her worries.
It's really distressing.
A little uneasy.
Suzuki Chiba's recent mood has also become complicated because of that atmosphere. She is not too worried about Oda because she knows that her sweetheart is very capable, but Yoko's recent appearance makes her very worried.
Obviously I have never seen Yoko so distressed before.
But she doesn't want to say anything, so what else can she do?
I can only hope that she can untie her knot on her own.
Today, she was going to the shrine to pay homage to the god.
Ever since she first visited that shrine, Suzuki Chiba has been going there often. After all, she found shelter there the first time.
Along the way, many ghosts gathered around Chiba. Although she was scared, she did not dare to show it because these ghosts would attack anyone who noticed their presence.
When Chiba walked to the mountain and entered the torii gate, the ghosts stopped coming in. This was something she had discovered before.
Except for the seemingly powerful ghost that I met for the first time, I haven't seen any other ghosts that can enter here so far.
All of this is probably because of that god.
Entering the torii gate is equivalent to entering the place where the gods live.
Suzuki Chiba calmed down her breathing that had become rapid due to climbing the mountain. She came to the shabby little shrine, then put in a few coins, clapped her hands seriously, and closed her eyes to make a wish.
"I hope Yoko can no longer be so distressed and can untie her knot as soon as possible."
"I hope Xiaotian can always live such a relaxed and happy life."
"I hope everyone around me is safe."
Suzuki Chiba made three wishes. She felt that making everyone around her happy was the most important thing.
Finally, Chiba opened her eyes. She looked at the somewhat dilapidated shrine. What Yoko said back then came to mind, and she spoke subconsciously.
"It would be great if... we could always be together."
Wow.
There was a gentle breeze blowing, gentle and warm.
"Are you...Suzuki-san?"
Chiba was startled by the voice coming from behind. She turned around and saw a handsome man wearing black clothes and trousers standing there. Her first impression was that he was very handsome and gentle, giving him the feeling of a warm man.
Seeing this person, Qianye also felt a little familiar, and she asked: "Who are you?"
"Suzuki-san and I go to the same school, and I'm a second-year student." The man smiled, walked forward slowly, and said, "My name is Kiryu Hyouichi."
Kiryu Hyoichi?
The feeling of familiarity suddenly became clear, and Chiba suddenly opened her eyes wide: "Are you the student council president?"
President of the Student Union of Tokai University, Kiryu Hyouichi.
"It's an honor for you to know me." Kiryu Hyoichi was a little surprised, and then smiled happily.
"ah?"
Chiba was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said: "After all, I have met you, president, at events such as the opening ceremony."
"That's it."
Kiryu Hyou nodded, then noticed that the girl looked a little confused, he smiled and said: "Suzuki-san is curious about why I know you?"
"Um."
Chiba nodded.
Kiryu Hyouichi smiled and said: "I have heard of the sick princess. I saw you a few times when I passed by the studio."
That was the nickname given to Chiba by some people in school, because Chiba's face usually looks a little gloomy. After all, she can see ghosts, but her face has become much prettier recently.
"That's it."
Chiba felt a little embarrassed. Most girls would feel a little ashamed to have a title like "princess".
"Is the president also here to worship at the shrine?"
"Just call me by my last name or first name."
Chiba also blinked: "Ah... then, let's take it to Kiryu-senpai."
Kiryu Hyou smiled and nodded, and then said: "Well, I haven't been here for a while, but I didn't expect Suzuki-san to come to such a shrine."
"Ah, um..."
It is naturally impossible for Chiba to say that he has seen the god here.
So, Kiryu Hyouichi also came to the shrine, threw a coin and bowed, not knowing what wish he made.
Kiryu Hyou turned around and looked at the girl, smiled and asked: "Where else do you want to go next, Chiba-san?"
Chiba thought for a while and then said: "I also want to go to the commercial street to buy some things."
Hearing this, Kiryu Hyouichi asked: "Then shall I accompany you? It just so happens that I also have some things I want to buy, and I haven't had time to replenish some of the tools of the student union recently."
Chiba did not refuse, she nodded and said: "That's it, then let's go together."
"It's great not to be disliked."
The president smiled happily.
What a good person.
This is Chiba's first impression of the president. He always feels that he is a consistent person, very gentle and polite, and to be the student president, he is obviously a very capable person.
It looks a lot like Oda.
The girl inexplicably thought of her childhood sweetheart, who also had some similarities with the student council president in front of her.
So the two left the shrine and went to the shopping street together. Although the girl was a bit introverted, Kiryu Hyouichi had very good social skills and a gentle personality, so the two got to know each other smoothly.
