Chapter 63: Day 63
Chapter 63
The school bell rang at Teitan Elementary School.
Like every other day, the students on duty stayed behind to clean the classroom, and the students who had signed up for clubs went to the designated classrooms to continue their activities. Kanako, a core member of the "Go Home After School Club", went to the reservoir at the back door of the cafeteria to the accompaniment of the school bell.
She didn't have to wait too long. First, she heard the sound of someone hurriedly going down the stairs and grabbing the handle to turn the corner. Then, a tall and handsome boy appeared in front of her.
The boy probably didn't expect Kanako to arrive so decisively and even before him. The moment their eyes met, his face evaded, and he blushed slightly. "Hello, Gojo Kanako-san! I'm Shoyu from Class A, fifth grade. You might not remember me..."
Kanako nodded and said hello: "Ah, I really don't have any impression."
System: [Give him a little bit of face. He confessed his love to you, which is already a courage far beyond that of an ordinary person!]
Kanako ignored the system's reminder and continued to ask, "What's your full name?"
"Gojo-kun..." The boy had a habit of nervously repeating his address before speaking. "My last name is Shoyu, and my given name is Shoyu Shōcho."
Kanako's eyebrow twitched: "...What's the uplift?"
The boy spoke clearly: "You will be drawn by Sheng."
Kanako tried her best to control her expression: "What will happen...?"
The boy patiently followed her playful intentions: "Shouyou Sheng will draw!"
Kanako: "What are you going to draw?"
System: "Enough!!!"
"Ahem." Kanako cleared her throat and said, "Jyou-san, you must be a very important figure in your family. You're the kind of person who's indispensable to the daily affairs of the family."
When Shouyou Shou heard this, he immediately replied with a sparkling look in his eyes, "Yes, Gojo-san! How did you know?"
Kanako:......
Is this even a question? When it comes to daily family cooking, the most essential seasoning is soy sauce and light soy sauce!
"My hometown is in Liaoqi City, and classmate Gojo mentioned before that he also lived there for a while, so it's really a coincidence." He blushed.
Kanako was silent, and her expression was a little ferocious for a moment.
The system was speechless: "It really is used for seasoning!"
This was the first time Kanako felt almost defeated during a chat. She thought that topics related to love were indeed incompatible with her in a metaphysical sense.
So, she touched her bangs and got straight to the point: "So what do you want to do when you ask me out?"
"What do you want to tell me?"
Jiang Yousheng immediately stood up straight, his hands pressed against his trousers, and recited his lines fluently as if he had prepared thoroughly: "I admire Gojo-san very much. This admiration is not the kind of care and appreciation for outstanding students in the lower grades - it's because Gojo-san is the same age as me."
"Every day when I see you, the thumping of my heart like a fluttering deer tells you how I feel... So, please date me!"
You Shengchu bowed deeply.
Kanako listened carefully to his speech and said, "Can I ask a few questions?"
Shouyou draws: "Gojo-san, please speak!"
"Why did you say you were the same age as me... Could it be that you're also turning eleven this year?" Kanako inadvertently noticed something extremely strange. "Wait... You and I are both eleven years old."
Shouyou Sheng draws: "Yes, that's right!"
"But you're in fifth grade, and I'm still in first grade!!" Kanako exclaimed something was wrong, "I've been in first grade for almost two years!"
"Even if my English is terrible, I shouldn't have to repeat the first grade!" Kanako's eyes drifted towards the system.
[Tongbao, what do you think about this matter? ]
I don't know what went wrong with the system today. It humbly said, "Your Majesty Queen Kanako, I'm watching from the sky."
Kanako dead fish eyes: [...Starting tomorrow, you should deliver food. ]
System: [No! QAQ]
"Okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you what I've said!" The system said, "This is also one of Shonen Jump's usual tactics."
Following the setting of "no major character transformation until a certain age," there's another major setting called "locking in if you don't resolve a specific event." The current manifestation of this "locking in" is staying in the first grade.
[But that's not a big deal. The class content will continue to progress towards higher-level knowledge anyway, but everyone will always think of it as "First Grade Class B."]
[...Okay, as long as it doesn't interfere with my studies.]
Kanako came back to her senses, looked at the person in front of her waiting nervously, and held up her chin.
"Shoyou Shengchu, I was wrong just now. I have some impression of you."
Jiang Yousheng quickly widened his eyes.
"After I exploded my third pot in Home Economics class, I accidentally blew up the seasoning box of my neighbor," Kanako said, lost in thought. "It wasn't a problem if my stuff was damaged, but it was my fault if it caused damage to other students. So I asked, 'What seasonings are you missing? I'll buy you a new set as compensation.'"
“‘—Soy sauce, light soy sauce, right?’”
Jiang Yousheng responded subconsciously, then smiled awkwardly and touched the back of his head.
Kanako pointed at his hands that were placed behind his back and snapped her fingers. "Yes, that was pretty much the same reaction. You mistakenly thought I was calling your name, so you immediately came over from a short distance away and asked if I needed any help."
"Even though we didn't know each other at the time, you subconsciously took the initiative to come here." Kanako smiled lightly and praised him openly: "Shoyu Shōcho-san has a very comedic name. You can withstand other people's jokes. It shows that you are a tolerant person."
Jiang Yousheng was stunned.
Kanako closed her eyes, carefully listening to her true thoughts: "Shochu-san is always willing to help his classmates and has many advantages, such as being good at observation and summarizing (he praised Kanako in his love letter), facing his feelings directly, speaking his mind and always keeping his promises (he made a timetable to confess)... So he must be a very responsible person."
Jiang Yousheng's face became redder and redder when he heard her still praising him.
"Okay, I recognize you." Kanako snapped her fingers again, "It seems like it's a good thing to meet someone like you."
"?" Shouyoushou was stunned. "What do you mean by that, Gojo-san?"
"Let's make friends!" Kanako flicked her hair. "You're so interesting. Wouldn't it be a shame not to make friends?"
She became increasingly excited as she spoke, her willfulness revealed without a second's notice: "Being my friend means you can openly watch me progress anytime, anywhere, without having to sneak around in the dark, watching me retreat."
Kanako stretched out her right hand: "Have you heard of the word friendship? Since you said you 'admire' me, then burn your 'love' to the last moment. Even if it turns to ashes, no one can deny the warmth of your existence..."
"-So for me as your friend, can you become like this?" Kanako grabbed his wrist without hesitation, swinging it up and down, ending with a confident and powerful smile.
After a moment, Shengchu recovered from the state of a sculpture.
He expressed his happiness with almost all his actions and words: "Okay, Gojo-kun, no problem, Gojo-kun! I will always admire you and dedicate this kind of love to you!!!"
After he finished speaking, steam seemed to burst out of his ears, and his red cheeks reminded Kanako of a special-grade cursed spirit with a volcanic head.
"Gojo-san...I...Okay, let's be friends! If you need anything in Home Economics, feel free to tell me what to do. No, ask me for help!"
Jiang Yousheng nodded continuously, as if countless little pink hearts were surrounding him, and he skipped back.
Kanako wiped the sweat off her face and sighed sincerely, "Ah, what a thrilling battle it was."
"You..." The system finally had time to explode, "What have you done! And, what kind of battle is this!"
"Didn't you say that after you returned from your studies, you'd learned to reject confessions in a tactful way that wouldn't hurt others...but what you're doing now is the exact opposite!"
"Yes, I did reject his confession." Kanako admitted, "It's just that my way of rejecting him was a little more 'Kanako-esque'."
Before the boy left, the love in his eyes was almost bursting out of his eyes... Thinking of this scene, his system collapsed even more: "You've made me fall into the madness of blind love!"
"I don't know why it turned out like this. Those words of praise for him were my sincere thoughts... But who could have predicted that he would choose the completely opposite path?" Kanako said. "The message he wanted to convey was, 'I don't like you, let's be friends.' Is that okay?"
Seeing that Kanako was reflecting seriously, the system calmed down and sighed deeply: "It's obvious that the confession failed, why does Shengchu seem to like you even more..."
Kanako was confused: "Maybe it's the importance of words, right? Just like how a con man can cheat people out of a lot of money just by speaking. Well, that's what Mr. Reigen said."
"I'm beginning to agree with Lord Tianyuan. Humans are really hard to understand..." The system shook its head.
"Why is he so excited after being rejected?"
Kanako seemed to have triggered some kind of command and immediately began to hum a tune: "Those who can't get it are always in turmoil~Those who are favored are fearless~"
System: “Hello!”
"Ah." Kanako remembered a universal formula that could answer this kind of question, "Because it's obvious that he volunteered. He loves it so much!"
System: “Hello!!!”
*
"So, that concludes my first love letter experience." Kanako finished sharing her story in the high school lounge. "Any questions?"
At the dining table, all the technical college students were shocked, as if they had come into contact with something from another dimension.
The chopsticks in Nanami Kento and Iori Utahime's hands fell to the floor.
Geto Suguru held Gojo Satoru's chin, gently lifted it up, and helped the latter close his open mouth.
Ieiri Naoko's eyes were dead: "How did her head, which was always specialized in eating sweets and acting cute, grow into this Aquaman personality?"
Mingming curled his lips into a smile: "I had expected that she and I would get along well."
The panda cub held in Huiyuanxiong's arms was holding a pacifier: "?"
Ichichi Jiegao muttered, "I shouldn't be here... I should be under the table..."
"Don't worry, I have my limits and won't do anything unscrupulous," Kanako said. "Besides... I understand love very well now."
She was full of righteousness and said in a resounding voice: "Just like I will always love you!"
“!!!”
The senior experts and leaders were all moved: "Kanako!"
Huiyuan Xiong clapped wildly: "What you said was super wonderful, worthy of being Kanako-san! Everyone will love you!"
Kanako cheered: "Yeah!!!"
"Bang!"
Just as everyone was making a fuss, the door of the lounge was forced open.
A tall, pretty, long-haired woman appeared at the door. She stood there and made an elegant entrance. "Hey, good evening, everyone! Did I bother you?"
"Kyujuku Yuki?" Gojo Satoru called him by his name.
"...It's not a good habit to interrupt such a mysterious introduction, Gojo-san." Yuuki Kujuku said in time to maintain his aura.
Geto Summer Oil: "I've been eavesdropping outside the door for a while now."
Gojo Satoru: "Ah, it's been quite a while, but she relies on her status as a special-grade sorcerer and is very good at concealing her aura."
Jiujiu Yuki held back: "You can stop now... Anyway, I really don't understand why you've been dwelling on this for so long."
"Gojo Kanako...right." She walked up to Kanako.
Kanako made a "NO" cross gesture: "You are all my wings... Sorry for saying it so casually, you are all my family. Today, my surname is not Gojo in the strict sense."
She glanced at the calendar: "Today I am Haibara Kannako!"
Haibara Yu proudly puffed out his chest and raised his head.
"...no matter what your last name is, your personality is evident."
Jiujiu Yuki revealed the truth: "Although this is the first time I've met this girl, I know that she is definitely a super sadist."
With these words, Kanako seemed to break through a layer of shallow cognitive fog in an instant, and her eyes were bright and sharp.
system:"……"
It really killed me. She revealed some traits that are difficult to deceive the auditors!
I can’t lie anymore!
