My deskmate is my neighbor
Half a month after moving, Chinatsu Matsuda discovered that her classmate, who had been elusive, was living next door.
As a good student in the eyes of her teachers and classmates, she had never interacted with this mysterious deskmate, except when collecting homework—"Student Yueyong, the class representative asked you to hand in your homework."
Although his deskmate often asks for leave and sleeps in class, he is very quiet, and Matsuda Chinatsu is still very satisfied with this.
Until the ten-centimeter little man with cat ears, cat paws and cat tail appeared.
"Tsukiyomi, do you live here too?" Matsuda Chinatsu just took out the key.
Tsukuyome Jito yawned. He never seemed to get enough sleep. "Ah... yes."
"That's quite a coincidence." Matsuda Chinatsu pushed her glasses and was about to open the door when a miniature version of Tsukuie Jito floated in front of her.
…
Matsuda Chinatsu fell silent.
Matsuda Chinatsu was confused.
Chinatsu Matsuda was shocked.
When did guardian spirits become popular in Japan?
In just half a month since she transferred to the new school, she has already met four people with guardian spirits, and there is even a girl with pink hair who has more than one guardian egg.
Then what about the days when she suspected she was hallucinating and almost became autistic because she had never seen other guardian spirits?
Matsuda Chinatsu shattered quietly.
Trying her best to ignore the Shugo Chara that was jumping around in front of her, Matsuda Chinatsu quickly slipped away.
By the way, that Shugo Chara looks familiar...
On the other side, Aye staggered into the room following Yueyong Jidou.
"Is that Jito's classmate? I don't think I've seen meow before."
Tsukuyomi Jito put down his bag and said, "New transfer."
Aye recalled the girl he had just seen. Her long, naturally curly hair fell to her waist, and her thick black-framed glasses covered most of her face. She lowered her head slightly when she spoke, and she looked like a good student who studied hard.
"Well, she doesn't seem like she wants to talk to Ikuto-neyo… Ikuto, what's her name-neyo?"
Tsukuyomi Jito thought about it and realized that since Matsuda Chinatsu transferred to the school halfway through, there was only an empty seat next to him who didn't like studying, so her seat was arranged next to him.
Sometimes he would lie on the table with his eyes closed and rest, and he would hear other girls coming to talk to Matsuda Chinatsu. Her voice was not loud and she was a little introverted, but she was surprisingly popular.
Tsukiyomi Jito recalled overhearing classmates say, "Matsuda-san is amazing! I heard she went to school in England since she was young. I didn't expect her to be so good at math and Chinese. I heard she got in with near-perfect scores..."
"Don't you think Matsuda-san's curly hair is cute? She looks like an angel when she smiles. She would be even better without those glasses."
"Also, I initially thought Matsuda-san was some kind of cool, cool academic, but he's not at all! One time, Takahashi and I were arguing over a problem, and Matsuda-san, who was passing by, helped us figure out the solution. Since then, every time I've asked a question, Matsuda-san has been very patient in explaining it to me..."
"Last time, I heard Matsuda-san and Suzuki jokingly saying, 'If you don't mind, please call me Chinatsu. I have an older brother, and calling him Matsuda always feels like calling him that guy.' It's so--cute!"
"Damn it! I'm so jealous!!"
——She is just shy of strangers, but she will respond gently when others approach her.
Tsukuie Jito was brought back to reality by Aya's voice.
"Well, what are you thinking about, meow? I've called you several times, meow."
Tsukuie Ikuto answered his previous question: "Matsuda Chinatsu."
Ah Ye's attention was instantly diverted: "Mazda? Hahahahaha what a weird name meow hahaha!"
Tsukiyomi Jito woke up Aye who was holding his stomach and laughing.
"Ji, Dou!"
"It's blocking the way."
Ah Ye: How could he be blocking such a wide road?!
Next door, Matsuda Chinatsu's house.
"I'm back."
Chinatsu Matsuda returned to the room and greeted the guardian egg on the bedside softly.
The base color of the guardian egg was an uneven deep blue, almost teal, resembling a flowing sky or a deep pool reflecting tree shadows. There were no extra patterns on the guardian egg, only a pattern of a pair of white wings.
At this time, the guardian egg was dull and gray, and looked lifeless.
Chinatsu Matsuda unbuttoned her tightly buttoned collar and cuffs and sat on the carpet by the edge of the bed.
"I have a high school exam today on Holy Eve. I feel like I'm having a hard time with Chinese... After all, I've been in the UK for so long, and the things I learned are different, so it's quite challenging to catch up."
"The deskmate I told you about before, I didn't expect he also had a guardian spirit. Well, I thought his special energy came from that key. I was careless."
"By the way, the girl named Hinamori Amu whom I met a few days ago not only has three guardian eggs, but also has pink hair."
"I also sense a strange energy coming from her. It seems to come from the same source as Tsukie-san's... So she's definitely a unique individual."
Chinatsu Matsuda lay on the edge of the bed, her eyes level with the guardian egg, murmuring and slowly closing her eyes.
After she fell asleep, the teal guardian egg emitted a faint glow, which quickly faded away.
It was not until the phone rang urgently that Matsuda Chinatsu suddenly broke free from the bizarre dream.
She moved her numb limbs and answered the phone.
"Moshimoshi?"
"Excuse me, Miss Daisy..."
Matsuda Chinatsu frowned slightly.
"...We really need you. Please, Miss Daisy, reconsider it. Please!"
"Sorry, I'm planning to take a break soon. Please find someone else."
Matsuda Chinatsu refused without hesitation and hung up the phone.
She just wants to live a peaceful life now and doesn't want to get involved in any trouble anymore.

Friday soon arrived, and Matsuda Chinatsu realized that Christmas was approaching as she listened to her classmates' discussion.
Suzuki Ayako came to her during the break and said, "Chinatsu, there's a new gift shop that opened on 4th chome. I heard it's great. Why don't we go there tomorrow? It's a great time to buy some Christmas decorations."
Chinatsu Matsuda thought of the call from her brother last night, who said he would come over on Christmas Eve and stay here for two days.
So he nodded: "Okay."
Suzuki Ayako was very excited: "How does Chinatsu plan to decorate the house? My family has already ordered a Christmas tree, which will be left to my sister and me to decorate, and there will be a lot of small fireworks and other things... What about Chinatsu?"
Matsuda Chinatsu thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. My brother just said last night that he would come over to spend Christmas with me, so I haven't made any preparations yet."
Suzuki Ayako: "Why don't we buy a Christmas tree? I feel like everything would be a little less interesting without one."
"That's fine."
Matsuda Chinatsu sent this message to her brother, who replied almost immediately.
"My brother told me to take care of it... Oh, another sum of money was transferred to my card."
It's said to be holiday expenses.
Suzuki Ayako sighed enviously, "Chinatsu's brother really cares about you. Even though we've been apart for so many years, it hasn't affected our relationship at all."
Matsuda Chinatsu smiled and said, "We are siblings after all. My brother and I have been in contact even though we were abroad for a few years."
