Chapter 316 Three Sweethearts
Akae Nazuki now almost understands the real situation of Zero, the elementary school student in front of her who is very good at acting, in the class.
He just appeared on the playground with Zero, and he felt the nervous gazes of classmates from all directions. Every time Zero moved a little closer to him, he could feel the other classmates gasp, as if they were afraid that Zero would pin him to the ground and beat him up in the next second.
... Isn't this a complete class bully? Ling, what have you done to them? Akane Nayue didn't understand, and was shocked and secretly poked the egg in his waist bag.
Then, the guardian egg, who suddenly suffered the disaster, pushed him unconvincedly.
Akae Nazuki was sure that Zero could also sense these ominous gazes, but not only did he completely ignore them skillfully, he also threw new topics at him.
"Why did Akae-kun transfer to another school at this time? You will graduate soon... I won't tell you anything. However, if you can't keep up with your studies, you can ask me for help."
Zero said this with a look of deep concern, trying to bring them closer without making a sound.
In Akae's eyes, his intention was too obvious. Even the 22-year-old Furugaya Rei couldn't fool him, let alone a 12-year-old.
Now it was free time, and they were standing under the shade of a tree wearing the same style of gymnastics uniforms. The other trees around them were crowded with people, but even so, no one dared to crowd over to them, resulting in them being the only two people standing in the huge shadow.
The only class still active on the playground was another class that was taking the same physical education class as them. However, the distance was a bit far. Chijiang Nayue glanced casually and didn't see any familiar figures in the crowd, so she turned her attention back to Ling.
To be honest, he is quite used to this special treatment...because he was like this in elementary school.
"There's nothing to hide."
The transfer student lowered his eyes, shook his head and said calmly: "My parents' jobs changed, so I changed schools frequently. As for the course progress, thank you, but I don't need your help."
Chi Jiang Na Yue remembered that he had already finished high school at that time and was still in elementary school only because the undercover parents at home wanted him to have a normal life, and he was willing to satisfy them, nothing more.
Chi Jiang Nayue was indeed quite tempted by the previous suggestion of calling each other by their first names. He never cared about normal social distance, and the way he addressed the people around him was always changing even when he used honorifics. Therefore, he would not mind asking his new deskmate who he just met to call him by his first name.
But he had already discussed it with Hagiwara Kenji. Before the safety was completely determined, it was best for him not to deviate from the character actions that 'Ten-year-old Akae Natsuki' should have. Otherwise, no one knew whether an accident would happen at this unique point.
As for the differences caused by the transformation of the guardian angels' images, there is no problem because there is no such thing as guardian angels in the original timeline.
Therefore, if Akae Nazuki directly agreed to Zero's request, his own personality at the age of ten would have collapsed. After all, he was not an easy kid to get along with when he was young. To use the comments of a junior, he excluded everyone equally when he was a student. From a certain perspective, he is actually similar to the current Zero.
He was able to remain polite and answer the call because, according to his settings, he was more willing to put on a show in front of people he was interested in.
If Hagiwara Kenji were to undergo another image transformation, he would be able to agree to Zero's request without any worries. However, Akae Nazuki didn't want to experience social death again just to change his tone, let alone this kind of social death at a close distance in the VIP seat.
In the parallel world, Chi Jiang Na Yue could still rely on the fact that he used the identities of other peers and acted without any pressure. But now he can't think like that. If he fails socially, wouldn't he be the one laughed at by his friends?
Being embarrassed is one thing, being laughed at is another.
But to be honest, Chijiang Nayue is not used to calling her friends by their last names directly. It sounds really awkward.
He needed a chance to let things change naturally.
At once, the two children under the shade of the tree had the same thought in their hearts: they must find a way to become friends with this person.
The few guardian sweethearts who saw through the truth could only complain without saying a word, especially Matsuda Jinpei. He really wanted to fly out and hold the hands of the two people together in anger.
Why do you do this!
Just like what they told Akae Nayue, after changing into this appearance, they naturally knew about [Guardian Sweetheart] and related information, including the fact that [people without Guardian Sweetheart cannot see Guardian Sweetheart].
However, judging from Rei's previous performance in the classroom, he seemed to be able to hear their voices... This was strange, as he clearly didn't have the Guardian Sweetie. Rather, the only person in this changed world who had this thing was ten-year-old Akae Nazuki.
Matsuda Jinpei pouted in his eggshell, and decided to blame Furuya Rei, who was also in the waist bag, for the fact that he couldn't go out for a walk. Furuya Rei's eggshell trembled, as if the guardian sweetheart inside sneezed.
And Zero outside sneezed synchronously with him.
It was still January, and they had just returned to school after winter break. The weather was still quite cold, but for Japanese students who had been trained to withstand cold weather since childhood, it was no big deal. Zero also looked like he had never expected that he would sneeze.
Akajinazuki couldn't help but regret that he didn't have a camera with him, so he didn't capture the shocked look on Zero's face just now... Maybe he was shocked that he, who had a strong physique, actually caught a "cold".
It's quite cute.
"How shameless."
Someone said something in her ear that was completely different from what Chijiang Nayue was thinking. Listening to the strange and childish voice, Chijiang Nayue vaguely guessed the identity of the visitor before she even looked over.
Zero heard it, too. He put away the smile he had deliberately put on when facing the transfer student, and cast a cold look at the strange classmate who had walked to the shade of the tree on their side at some point and mocked him.
"Excuse me, who are you?" He at least remembered that he had just made preparations to get closer to Chijiang Nayue, so he maintained a polite appearance to the uninvited guest, and then made a puzzled expression, "I don't think I have seen you before, this classmate."
Coming to pick a fight for no reason? Little Zero had met many such people before. Some of them were looking for trouble because of his hair color or skin color, while others were provoking him because they were dissatisfied with him.
However, Zero took a quick look at the person's appearance and hesitantly ruled out these two possibilities.
Although this curly-haired guy looks fierce, his eyes are much clearer than those stupid classmates, and he doesn't look like someone who is looking for trouble...
"Of course you haven't seen me. We are not in the same class." The curly-haired kid rolled his eyes and looked at Zero with a puzzled look, as if to say, "You have to ask this?" "But I have heard of you for a long time, the blond bastard from Class A."
Akajinazuki couldn't help but spit in his heart: Is it a skill that Matsuda Jinpei has in his bones to turn a simple sentence into a provocation? And he even used an idiom. This curly-haired guy is not simple.
He felt that the guardian eggs, which had been quiet for a while, became restless again.
Unlike Akae Nazuki who saw the fun, several crossroads appeared on Zero's forehead almost instantly.
——He took back what he said before. This curly-haired bastard was just here to cause trouble!
Yes, that's right. The young boy who appeared in front of them had a pair of steel-blue eyes, his hands in his pockets, his black curly hair fluttering unruly in the cold wind, and he was wearing the same gymnastics suit as them.
No matter how you look at it, this is the twelve-year-old Jinpei Matsuda himself.
Chijiang Nayue silently took a step back and whispered to her guardian sweetheart in a low voice: "It seems that no matter what age you are, your relationship is very good."
[Who is on good terms with that curly/blonde bastard?] Two opposing voices suddenly rang out from my waist bag.
Chijiang Nayue was stunned: Oh no.
The next second, the two children who were about to confront each other looked in his direction at the same time.
Zero had always wanted to ask this question, but he had been holding back because he thought that since their relationship was not close enough, the other party would not confess if he asked. Now that he had keenly noticed that the new curly-haired boy seemed to be able to hear that voice, he felt even more upset.
"Whose voice was that just now?" What Ling could never have expected was that the new curly-haired guy would actually ask this question directly to Chijiang Nayue.
He gritted his teeth and, for once, felt childishly annoyed at a time when his age matched his appearance: How come this guy asked the question directly? Wasn't he one step ahead of him?
Zero decided to put this curly-haired guy on the list of people he dislikes starting today.
"What's that sound?" Chi Jiang Na Yue asked calmly, "You heard it wrongly."
This time it was his turn to stare at the new Curly-haired guy. After a while, the latter looked away first, and his momentum seemed to have weakened by half.
Curly-haired man's face was still full of doubt, but Chi Jiang's expression just now was so righteous that he couldn't find anything strange for a moment, so he had to give up.
"Forget it..." He took out his left hand from his pocket, yawned, and then lazily remembered to introduce himself, "I'm Jinpei Matsuda, from Class B, and I'm here to talk to this blond bastard. Hey, the junior, if this guy bullies you, tell me now, and I can help you make trouble for him."
Lower grade.
These four people brought back memories of Akae Nazuki and Matsuda Jinpei's first meeting, and a dark aura suddenly filled the delicate little face of the transfer student.
Jinpei Matsuda, remember to take turns keeping your two eyes on guard at night, otherwise you might be killed by the devil while you are sleeping.
Zhu Fu Jingguang, who was still in the waist bag, was shocked and had a bad premonition.
He quickly squeezed out from the slit of his waist bag, hid himself behind Chijiang Nayue, and then spoke quickly and quietly: [Sorry Nayue... image transformation! ]
Little Zhenping didn't really come to find change for trouble. In the beginning, he just wanted to get to know Zero.
Before, for some reasons, he had been indifferent to the things around him and naturally missed a lot of news. It was not until a few days ago when he returned to school after the winter vacation that he accidentally learned that there was a good student in the class A next door who was considered a good student by the teacher. He privately beat up everyone in the school who had said bad things about him or provoked him.
This is so cool. Zhen Ping's eyes lit up.
It’s not that he wanted to make friends. He had long been accustomed to being alone, and he had never thought about taking the initiative to make friends with anyone. Anyway - in short, he just felt that this classmate, who was in a similar situation to him and whose approach was very similar to his own, might be very much to his liking.
Then, this thought disappeared under Zero's cold gaze.
No. Zhen Ping thought that he and this blond bastard would probably not get along well.
As for the little one next to him, although he didn't know why Kotani from the next class was talking to a younger student, Zhenping felt that he really liked that child.
"My name is Akae Nazuki, and I just transferred to Fūya-kun's class today." When Jinpei heard the black-haired, red-eyed, well-behaved boy introducing himself to him seriously, his expression was mature, gentle, and calm. "I'm not a lower grade student, and Fūya-kun didn't bully me. Mr. Matsuda, you misunderstood."
Little Jinpei didn't know, but Zero looked more carefully this time, so he was very sure that he was not mistaken before.
The transfer student's earring turned blue as he spoke.
At this time, Zhufu Jingguang, who was hiding behind Akajian Yue, touched his nose.
Did he get infected by Zero just now? Why does he feel like sneezing too?
