Chapter 51: Fifty-first Day of Training
Chapter 51
After the Panxing Sect's annexation war ended, everyone's life returned to their original track.
Time quickly came to May 2008.
Teitan Elementary School is about to hold an open day, and a parent-teacher meeting will also be held at the same time.
Yes, the parent-teacher conference.
When most of the elementary school students in the same class heard this word, they immediately thought about the bad things they had done, the lies they had told, and their test scores in the past year.
Then, one by one, they showed expressions of horror, with rejection written all over their faces.
When Kanako received the notice, she soon raised her hand and asked, "Is it necessary for every parent to attend this parent-teacher meeting?"
Kobayashi Sumiko answered gently, "Yes, Gojo-san."
"Hmm..." Kanako looked around, gazing at the size of the classroom. Finally, she said firmly, "I don't think there's enough room."
"At least eight people will come from my family alone. If all the students have eight parents, the classroom will definitely be full!"
The classmates all laughed in a friendly manner. Kobayashi Sumiko also smiled and said, "Only one parent needs to come to the classroom for the parent-teacher conference."
"I see. Another point of knowledge. I understand." Kanako took notes.
Conan beside her silently complained: Have you never participated in a parent-teacher meeting?
The image of a young lady who was educated at home before entering elementary school was once again established. However, Gojo Kanako was a person who did not put on airs, just like Suzuki Sonoko. After spending almost a year together, Conan was already familiar with her personality.
Even though he was familiar with her, it didn't mean he wouldn't be surprised... After all, she had a magical physique that made her cause trouble wherever she went.
I recall the first day of school when private cars lined up at the school gate, with everyone shouting, "Welcome home, Miss!"
During the first week of school, Kanako was lectured for skipping two English classes. She graciously admitted her mistake and added, "I'll do it again next time."
The people who came to pick her up from school looked all sorts of weird.
There's a white-haired guy wearing dark sunglasses on a rainy day, a black-haired guy with small eyes and odd bangs, a serious-looking uncle holding a long-eared pink bunny stuffed animal, and a man with glasses wearing a high school uniform but looking very old...
They look like a bunch of weirdos.
The security guard once mistook this group of strangely dressed people for a well-trained fraud group and almost called the police. Fortunately, Kanako explained in time and the misunderstanding was cleared up.
Wait, could they really be among the “eight parents” Kanako mentioned?
Seeing Kanako turn her head towards him, Conan looked back at the blackboard and stopped thinking about it.
Edogawa Conan-kun is such a strange person... Kanako, who had noticed his gaze a long time ago, thought to herself, and paid a little attention to it, but did not expose him.
Because now, Kanako has more important things to do.
[(Group chat: Anyway, we are a big family of Tokyo Polytechnic College)]
[Kanako: There's a parent-teacher conference this Thursday, come sign up! @All members]
【Kanako: The number of seats for the parent-teacher conference is limited to one person, first come first served! 】
[Gojo Satoru: I'm willing to give this opportunity away.]
[Ieiri Naoko: Same as above, I'm sensitive and can't stand hearing the homeroom teacher say bad things about Kanako. (Reluctantly letting go.jpg)]
[An Utahime: Then I will also...]
[Sugaru Takeshi: How about this, the minority obeys the majority, and we all call out the most suitable person to attend the parent-teacher meeting?]
【Suguru Takeshi: 3, 2, 1.】
[Everyone: Nanami x5]
[Nanami Builder:...]
[Nanami Kento: Kanako, send me a copy of the notice.]
[Kanako: Great! Nanami is really reliable. I'm Nanami Kanako pretending to be Gojo Kanako!]
[(Group owner Gojo Satoru invited Ijichi Jie Gao to join the group chat)]
[Gojo Satoru: I forgot to invite this new student in.]
【Ichi Chieko: Hello everyone.】
【Kanako: Oh, it's you! I remember you also came to pick me up from school! 】
"Kanako, Kanako." After the morning class ended, Yoshida Ayumi turned around and called her softly.
Kanako blinked rapidly to indicate that she heard it.
Yoshida Ayumi: "This is for you."
She stretched out her hand from under the table, and a triangular chocolate stood on her open palm.
"Thank you!!" Kanako took the chocolate and handed over the candy she ate most often.
After receiving the candy, Yoshida Ayumi also thanked her. She leaned her head over and said, "Kanako-san, you don't need to thank me, because this chocolate originally belonged to you."
Kanako looked down at the wrapping paper in her hand. It was an unfamiliar brand, and she tilted her head in confusion.
Yoshida Ayumi explained, "Last week, when you were cleaning the desk, Kanako, you said you wanted to sort out everything inside. I didn't have time to look carefully before you sorted everything out."
"There's this chocolate inside. Maybe someone gave it to Kanako." Yoshida Ayumi smiled mysteriously. "Who could it be?"
"Was there any important day last week?" Kanako was indifferent.
Yoshida Ayumi hinted wildly: "May 20th was last week!"
Kanako nodded, not quite understanding: "Oh, the 21st is my birthday."
She really forgot to say it.
"What!?" Yoshida Ayumi exclaimed, "I just knew, happy birthday Kanako!"
"Happy birthday, Kanako/Gojo-san!"
The classmates who heard the noise offered their belated blessings one after another. The sound of voices one after another successfully made Ayumi forget the purpose of her speaking.
May 20th, and chocolate from the table.
Kanako didn't think much of it or take the hint, and quickly put it out of her mind.
Time has come to the campus open day.
Kanako hurried to the door to pick up her "parents" before class.
Kento Nanami was originally planning to take a ride to school with Kanako, but an urgent task suddenly came up in the middle of the night. He dealt with it until late at night before he had time to wipe the blunt knife and open his cell phone.
[Kanako: It doesn't matter if Nanami doesn't make it in time! ]
【Kanako: I really don't force it. At worst, I can just come back and grab Gojo Satoru to fill in the numbers.】
[Kanako: You will definitely not come to school to attend the parent-teacher meeting in order to have a good rest, right?]
Nanami Builder:......
Why does it feel like Kanako is trying to hide something she is not doing?
Could it be that she was really afraid of the parent-teacher conference? If so, Nanami Kento would definitely go and see it.
It was already dawn, the sky was getting light.
I went to the public restroom and cleaned up, looking in the mirror to make sure the appearance was correct.
Nanami Kento has always been a man of his words. When he replied to Kanako's message, he arrived at the gate of Teitan Elementary School in the auxiliary supervisor's car and sent a short "I'm here".
Kanako opened the classroom door and ran out!
As it was the campus open day, there was a huge crowd of people at the gate.
Security guards always keep an eye on people entering the campus to prevent bad guys from sneaking in.
So he naturally set his eyes on a man with a murderous look in his eyes.
Nanami: The evil sorcerer's mission has changed people beyond recognition.
"Wait a moment, which student's parent are you?" The security guard stopped Nanami and said with a suspicious look.
"Gojo Kanako from Class 1-B," said Nanami Kento.
"Oh, so you're Kanako's parent." The security guard sounded familiar with her and continued to look him up and down. "You two don't look alike."
"Nanaha!"
Kanako jumped up and hung on his arm, explaining everything with her actions.
Security guard: “I’m so sorry…”
Nanami Kento: "It's okay. May I ask if Kanako has adapted well to school this year?"
Kanako: "!?"
Kanako was on high alert, even clearing out the empty snack shells on the table, but she didn't expect Nanami to launch a sneak attack.
There was no time to connect the words, Kanako kept winking at the security guard.
"Oh, well, Kanako is very enthusiastic and lively. I guess she works very hard in her studies and life at school!" The security guard received the hint.
"Thank you for your answer." Nanami Kento nodded to show that he understood.
Kanako breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead.
"Nanaha! I told you I'm a model student in school, an excellent model student in the eyes of teachers and classmates!" Kanako's eyes rolled around, "Just like Gon and Gojo Satoru in technical high school."
After hearing the second half of the sentence, Nanami Kento stopped immediately, and the expression on his face was even uglier than the stern-faced Yaga Masamichi.
"No, Gojo Satoru and Geto-senpai are not model students at all. Strictly speaking, if we were to use their performance to describe their academic level, it would only be that they are extremely poor."
Nanami Kento seemed calm: "Kanako...what gave you this illusion?"
"How is that possible! From the first day we met, Gojo Satoru said that he and Xiaojie were excellent model students in the school!" Kanako was shocked.
Nanami: "And after learning about their true nature... you never doubted the truth of these words for a moment?"
Kanako patted her chest and said, "Of course, they promised not to lie to me!"
The look in his eyes was so pure and clear that Nanami Kento took note silently.
Considering that Geto Suguru's image in his eyes was already that of a responsible guardian, he continued to walk forward, muttering: This is all Gojo Satoru's fault, this is all Gojo Satoru's fault...
Not long after, in the classroom.
Kanako, who was fully prepared, was not panicked at all.
Because just the day before the open day, she climbed over the wall, sneaked into the office, stole the test papers from the English teacher's drawer (she will return them!), and also put a thank-you letter on the head teacher's desk.
Now her seat is spotless, without any trace of eating snacks or playing with mobile phones in class. Not long after the parent-teacher meeting started, Kobayashi Sumiko remembered the thank-you letter and called out her name in front of all the parents and students.
"Gojo Kanako-san."
Kanako walked up to the podium confidently, waiting to receive the award.
"Ms. Umekawa Kuko from the stationery store is very grateful for your help." Kobayashi Sumiko read the thank-you letter. "Ms. Umekawa Kuko said that thanks to Kanako-san's translation... eh?"
By the time Kobayashi Sumiko realized that something was wrong, it was too late to regret what she had said.
She could only helplessly finish reading: "...Thanks to Kanako-san for climbing over the wall and leaving the school, she went shopping near the stationery store and happened to encounter the tenth robbery in the store this month. She helped her call the police and catch the criminals... If it weren't for Kanako-san's heroic act of skipping class, Ms. Umekawa Kuko wouldn't know what she would have done."
Parents:?
Kanako was also stunned: ...?
Then, belatedly, he turned his head silently and tried to bury it in his clothes.
Damn it! She didn’t check the contents of the thank you letter!!!
All the plans for being a "Three Good Students" student have gone to waste! QAQ
In the audience, Kento Nanami finally smiled kindly.
*
After the things he did at school were exposed, he had to go back to school to listen to Nanami's educational lectures.
The school bell rang, Kanako sighed, said goodbye to her classmates, and prepared to change her indoor shoes at the entrance.
As soon as I opened the shoe cabinet door, a pink envelope with a strong fragrance fell out.
Of course Kanako reacted, but she deliberately did not move, letting the envelope fall to the ground with a crisp "click" sound.
"..." Kanako muttered to herself, "Not sure, let me take another look."
Close the shoe cabinet, then open it again and lower your head.
Good, the envelope is still there.
Before picking it up, Kanako took a photo with her mobile phone and sent it to the high school group chat.
【Kanako: [picture.jpg]】
【Kanako: This is what happened. I think someone gave me a love letter... Should I pick it up, or should I pick it up? Or should I pick it up?】
【Kanako: =w=】
System: "Is there any difference between these three? You were planning to pick it up originally!"
"Hmm." Kanako didn't comment. With a little joy in her heart, she took out the folded paper from the envelope and began to read it.
Dear Kanako Gojo, I've heard of your great name for a long time. As an ordinary student with little reputation, I was fortunate enough to witness your prowess at a sports meet. Later, in home economics class, I fell in love with your courage at first sight... I don't mean anything else, I just want to tell you that I've admired you for a long time!
So, can we meet at the reservoir behind the cafeteria after school tomorrow?
"It really is a love letter..." Kanako turned the envelope over and confirmed that only the folded paper contained these words. "By the way, does the guy who wrote this letter mean to wait until tomorrow to formally confess his love to me?"
The system was strangely silent, not even a single complaint came out of its mouth.
"Tongbao?" Kanako called.
"Wait a minute, let me take a break..." The system slowly floated to the ground, leaving a lonely back to Kanako.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible." The system muttered, "My Kanako...my Kanako has been written a love letter!!!"
Kanako: "?? What do you mean! I'm a super charming and popular character in Teitan Elementary School. It's only natural that someone would like me!"
"Even the security guard at the door thanked me for breaking down a difficult-to-remove wall, saving me a ton of money!"
System: "...That was your mistake from the previous wall-climbing incident!"
"It's not a popular character, it's an annoying character!" the system retorted. "But I was with you for nearly 24 hours a day, and I didn't feel that you left any touching impression on the person who wrote the love letter!"
Kanako poked at the envelope, like a Chinese teacher checking homework, and patiently explained, "That's your problem, Tongbao. Let's shift our focus back to the article and do our reading comprehension again."
I was fortunate enough to witness your heroic performance at a sports meet.
"Is this referring to my sports meet last year? After all, this year's hasn't been held yet," Kanako pondered. "I remember I participated in all the running events, including the high jump. I almost couldn't stop myself and accidentally broke a national record for elementary school students."
The system wailed, "That's not a heartbeat! It's the accelerated heartbeat caused by running!"
[Later, I fell in love with your courage at first sight in Home Economics class...]
"And in home economics class... Hey, that's strange. My home economics grades have always been terrible. What does this sentence mean?" Kanako was puzzled.
The system was puzzled: "Uh... maybe one of your few successes happened to be seen by that person?"
"Impossible! I've never been successful in Home Economics." Kanako shook her head like a rattle. "I've blown up two ovens in Home Economics this month."
System: "Today is only the second week of this month!!!"
Finally, the system concluded: "This is not the impression of a heartbeat, but the feeling of a heart attack!"
"That guy who wrote you a love letter must have made some misjudgment!!"
The phone screen suddenly lit up. Since she had to play with her phone openly in class, Kanako usually turned it to silent mode, but even so, it couldn't dampen the enthusiasm in the group chat.
Pop-up messages filled the lock screen.
【(Many collapsed messages): ??? x23】
[An Utahime: What kind of love letter did he write to you! ! ! ]
Kanako thought about it and felt that the specific content was a private matter, so out of respect, she decided not to take a photo and upload it.
Let me describe it based on my feelings.
[Kanako: I guess... between running until his heart and lungs stopped and watching me cook in home economics class and getting a heart attack, he chose the one that was pounding. (Thoughtful.jpg)]
【? ? ? x34】
System: "How can you summarize it like that!!!"
Now, more people are following the trend and posting question marks.
[An Utahime: Fukasanako, you don't understand at all. This isn't heart-pounding at all. QAQ!]
[Ieiri Glass: Don't scare me to death. If you scare me half to death, you can still send me here to use the reversal technique.]
Gojo Satoru: "Don't do that! Kanako accepting a love letter and dating that jerk... Don't do that!"
Gojo Satoru: I'm late. I just searched for a suitable meme. (Doge face)
[Ieiri Glass: Is there anyone who registers his brother like you? @Gojo Satoru]
[Gojo Satoru: It's just a different division of labor. No matter how you look at it, worrying about Kanako's love life is Gon's mom's business.]
【Kanako: By the way, where's Gon? I haven't seen him in the group chat in a while.】
[Hairahara: I know this! ]
[Grayhara Yu: I heard that the Pansei Cult recently underwent a major reform. They managed to get Senior Asahure's contact information and then used every possible means to send him messages every day.]
[Haihara Yu: He said that Senior Getabu will return to inherit the position of leader. Hahahaha, Senior is really amazing!]
[Ieiri Shoko: If you don't study hard, you'll have to drop out and go home to inherit the throne. (Vision.jpg)]
Nanami Kento: ...I suddenly understood the real reason why Geto-senpai blocked his phone messages. 】
Nanami Kento: Regarding the suspension of criticism regarding skipping classes, this matter needs to be prioritized.
Nanami Kento: I personally think it's best to take this matter seriously and not treat it as a joke.
Nanami Kento: Has Kanako never had any feelings for the opposite sex, or anything like that in her life? Teaching her how to properly handle these feelings is also part of her education.
Gojo Satoru: The key point is that besides "opposite sex," we should also include race, right? Kanako isn't human, so can she really experience human romantic emotions?
【Kanako: It seems so. That makes sense.】
[Suguru Geto: Nanami-san, and Satoru, you sent this to the wrong group. There's no Kanako group next door.]
Nanami Kento: ...I'm sorry.
[(Nanaha Kento withdrew three messages)]
[(Administrator Xia Yujie withdrew a message)]
[Kanako: ??? You guys created other groups without telling me! w(Д)w]
"So...what exactly is love in the definition of love?"
Kanako held her chin.
System: "I looked it up in the vocabulary, and honestly, it's hard to define this thing in a simple sentence."
Kanako speculated vaguely, "It has to be distinguished from ordinary likes. Because if we talk about likes alone, I like rice with mayonnaise, I like a lot of snacks, I like everyone in the technical high school, and I like humans who listen to me..."
"But these don't look like the kind of love that would lead to writing love letters."
"Then..." The system was stuck, and for a moment it didn't know how to encourage Kanako to think.
Because it had never seen this scene before, it really had never seen it before. Traditional training templates don't teach about falling in love.
(At this moment, in the [Highly Expert Group Without Kanako], Nanami Kento is still continuing to output: [Traditional education that avoids talking about love and feelings is bullshit!])
"So, when Kanako saw this love letter, what went through your mind?" asked the system.
Kanako raised her eyes and said, "Do you want to tell the truth? The truth won't sound good."
System: "You know it won't sound good..."
"I think it's very interesting," Kanako said. "This kind of 'interesting' is the same feeling as the first time I beat my opponent, the first time I tasted a sauce I had never tried before, or the first time I met an interesting person."
"So I just found it interesting," Kanako muttered, "no particular emotion."
"I feel like your idea is very dangerous." The system thought for a moment, "Let's not even talk about cardiopulmonary arrest and myocardial infarction. Anyone who can write a love letter under such circumstances probably has some underlying reasons."
"And Kanako, if you just treat the love letter as a novelty, like a prank, it will probably be tragic for that person."
The system sighed and didn't say the rest of the words: Actually, liking Kanako is tragic enough.
Let’s not talk about the issue of racial differences for now. Kanako herself has a very different perspective on the world.
Compared with the female classmates around them, they are born to be part of the world and human society, and they look at things from an internal perspective. Perhaps for them, they will experience the affection for the opposite sex very early, and they also vaguely understand what confession and dating mean to themselves.
But Kanako was completely from the outside looking in, and her superior nature would inevitably make it difficult for her to understand the emotion of love.
Afterwards, Kanako sent messages to some friends.
[Natsuki: I can't offer any good advice... but I smell some gossip. Stay tuned for more.]
[Kageyama Shigeo (Note: It's Mob): Confession... ahiupavbfw]
【Kanako: Why is it garbled! 】
["Kageyama Shigeo": Shigeo just failed to confess his feelings to the person he likes, so he looks very depressed now.]
[Kanako: Oh, so the one sending the message now is Dimple! What do you think?]
[Dimple: That guy definitely can't catch up with you.]
System: "You actually said it so bluntly! Give the other party some leeway!"
[Dimple: Because love doesn't seem like the type of emotion you need. When you lose interest in something you don't need, you can easily throw it away, right?]
[Dimple: The above is purely my personal opinion. If you don't want to mess with the guy, just dump him as soon as possible.]
This sentence was said bluntly, but it actually hit the competitive spirit in Kanako's heart.
"Why do they always say that I don't know what love is...but I have to learn it for them." Kanako bit her fingernails.
"It's not like a textbook that can be learned by rote..." The system sighed, then asked, "So, are you planning to keep your appointment tomorrow?"
"I'll definitely go. As for what I'm going to say, honestly, I haven't thought about it yet." Kanako said, "To be honest, in terms of theoretical knowledge, I'm very clear about what 'love in love' means!"
This was unexpected for the system, and it was surprised: "Really?!"
Just at this moment, the high school students who were discussing frantically in the group chat that Kanako couldn't see returned to the main group.
[An Utahime: Ahem, since I have many years of experience watching romance-themed movies and TV series, let me explain it to Kanako first!]
[An Utahime: Does Kanako know what love is? ]
[Kanako: I understand. It's just that I have a super fond feeling for a certain creature. To put it simply, I want to be with it ○○. The process also includes ○○○, ○○, and ○○, and finally ○○○○○!]
[Kanako: OWO (Simple and innocent.jpg)]
Silence. A dead silence fell in the group chat.
The system crashed and yelled: "Kanako!!!"
[Suguru Geto: Who taught her that? Who on earth did it?! I want to pay that person a visit and greet him warmly!!]
[Ieiri Naoko: Damn, even Geto is throwing exclamation marks. Looks like that guy is in a very dangerous situation.]
「Kanako: Actually, I’ve always understood it. Like “You are all my wings”, “Why can’t we all be together”… Oh no, I’ve talked about these before.」
[Kanako: As someone who will become the Sea King in the future, it's reasonable for the Queen to have many romantic partners, right?]
[Suguru Geto: It makes sense literally, but Kanako! You can't do this! !]
The system gave up struggling. It finally understood that Kanako really didn't understand this kind of feelings.
What should I do?
"Want to do a field case investigation?" the system recalled a newly released feature. "By the way, recently, after the cultivation value reached 50 points, a benefit matching the [February Station] technique was granted."
"What benefits?" Kanako's eyes lit up, she smelled the scent of freeloading.
"It's about locating the spacetime after traveling through time. In addition to relying on powerful abilities like Shigeo Kageyama, you can also automatically adjust to the 'spacetime most suitable for answering Kanako's questions', thereby achieving the purpose of growth."
"That sounds good."
The system politely stated, "The only drawback is that each location can only meet the criteria you currently set. There's no guarantee that other causes and effects will follow your preferred criteria."
Kanako inexplicably thought of a very hellish joke and couldn't help but chuckle: "What it means is that none of my family members in my world will die, but in the world I go to, they might die in all kinds of strange ways, right?"
System: "...I'm afraid it will turn out like this."
Kanako: "No problem. If anything goes wrong, just rely on me."
She still made this declaration with full confidence.
The system cannot use the ordinary people's thinking mode to deal with Kanako's thoughts. Since she already has the idea and personality to grow into the strongest, and to continue to improve Kanako's growth, the first reaction of the system is to put it into practice.
After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. (Reciting test points.jpg)
Past events have shown that for Kanako, putting actual combat directly in front of her is the best option.
For example, the Broccoli Cult (System: Sorry, this should be called the Super Pot-Head Cult) and the Panxing Cult (which can now be simply called the Pokémon & Geto Suguru Fan Club).
The system gritted its teeth and said: I just don't believe it. There is no good example in the history of the entire parallel world that can make Kanako understand what love is!
"The cooldown time for the technique that allows you to travel through time and space has ended. Kanako, do you want to leave?" the system asked.
Kanako rubbed her hands together and said, "Okay, no problem."
Kanako was enthusiastic: "By the way, let's avoid Nanami's criticism meeting for skipping class!"
System: "...The last sentence is your true feelings!"
【Author’s words】
I made up for the extra update I owed last time (sweat)
To be honest, the main reason why I chose the romance channel in the first place was to write this chapter of the story.
After all, I heard that as long as a character has expressed affection for the protagonist, it is considered a romance and cannot be classified as a no-CP story. Ok, fine, then I will put it in the second-character channel.
So to be honest, as I write this, I'm not even sure whether Kanako will have a CP when she grows up. But for now, I don't think it matters. Let's see how Kanako develops.
I originally planned to finish this book this year, but I found that there are still a lot of things left to write 2333. I hope to finish it before the New Year. I hope to write a story that I think will not make people frown, and not cut the outline.
The entry point is love, but what you want to learn is not how to fall in love.
