Chapter Four: The Child's Words

Lunch at noon today is just a quick lunch I bought from the way to school. When I go back in the evening, I can relax and make some food by myself, but Rintaro doesn’t have that good patience when I wake up in the morning. Buying a bento from the side of the road that is not expensive but delicious will be a good choice.

Rintaro's lunch location is also relatively fixed. If the weather is better, he will go back to the chair next to the playground to eat and take a break while eating. If the weather is not good, he will stay in the classroom and listen to the lively discussions in the classroom.

Rintaro is usually not very involved in it. Although the boys next to him will also bring Rintaro into a certain topic during discussions, Rintaro, who seems to be not very interested in anything, usually just say a few words casually.

Fortunately, everyone is more tolerant and doesn't care about anything. Although Rintaro thinks this may have something to do with her often borrowed homework.

It is spring now and the weather is very good. Rintaro sat on the side of the playground as usual on this chair, which no one usually comes. While eating, he watched the students on the playground who had to make full use of the fullest hours in less than an hour doing all kinds of things.

For example, running.

But today is a little different from usual. Rintaro, who casually scanned the entire playground while eating, seemed to have seen a familiar face.

Although it was far away and tied up her hair, the girl who walked with a group of other girls and talked and laughed, did have a familiar face that made her feel.

She was wearing the same uniform as herself, and was obviously a student of the school. However, her confident smile and her every move were elegant, which was obviously not very consistent with the Katase Horiri she had seen before.

If she had the kind of personality that would become completely different in front of strangers, she was somewhat unreliable. Rintaro, who had heard something from Kudo, had quickly remembered the second daughter of the Kataseta family whom she had not seen before.

Katase Hatsuki.

It is indeed the same as what Kudo said, and it looks like it has a completely different personality from Katase Seri, and is similar to her sister Katase Yorai, who is the kind of personality that can provoke topics and even become the center of the group.

If you look at it this way, it is probably the youngest of these three sisters, Katase Seiri, is an introverted girl.

Rintaro soon lost interest in Katase Yanglai, who was the center of the topic, continued to eat his own lunch and looked elsewhere.

She will not have any connection with herself or will not help her work. She looks like her sister, which makes people feel very troublesome. Rintaro thinks it would be better to have less contact with her.

However, there was no chance of contact.

After quietly finishing his lunch, he sat in the chair and rested for a while. Rintaro rushed back to the classroom before class and successfully finished two afternoon classes.

It just so happened that today is Tuesday, and the last class in the afternoon was the class of the class teacher Akiyama. After class, Rintaro was stopped by Akiyama.

"School Yingting, do you have anything else now?" She walked directly to Yingting and asked, making the other students who were about to leave the classroom look here with curious eyes.

Rintaro shook his head: "There's nothing else."

"Then come with me." Teacher Akiyama took the lead in walking out of the back door of the classroom. Rintaro's position was at the penultimate table on the side of the wall. If you want to go out, you basically went out from here.

Others who quickly lost interest in Rintaro's affairs did not continue to care about him, but instead talked about their plans. Rintaro left the classroom with the teacher.

Rintaro originally thought he would go to the teacher's office, but Teacher Akiyama took him downstairs and went to a building next to him. The smaller building next to him was not used as a classroom, but was regarded as a centralized building for the club office of this school.

Although it was also a teaching building before, it happened a long time ago.

"Although you did not participate in the club, our school's club office is actually assigned by the teacher. And I happen to have a small office that has not been applied for, which is now for you and Xiaoseri... Ah, Katase Seri." Teacher Akiyama said, turning around and handing a key to Rintaro: "This is one of the keys of the office. I will take you there first. Katase Seri's words will come here later."

"Is it okay to use the club office? There are only two people here, and there are not enough people from the Youhui Club."

"Anyway, it's empty. If someone uses it, you can clean it up frequently, so there won't be any problem. Moreover, because this is not a club activity, you don't have to write a report to me, and it's more convenient in all senses."

Rintaro nodded: "I understand."

You don’t need to walk out of the new teaching building to go to the club office building. There is a passage on the first floor that can lead to the next one, which is quite convenient for members of literary and artistic clubs.

Get off there, walk upstairs here, and arrive at the fourth floor, which is also the top floor of the old teaching building, and then head to the innermost classroom.

Rintaro knew why such a club office was empty and was not used. Even Rintaro did not feel the atmosphere of someone moving on this floor. There was even a light bulb on this floor that was broken. It was bright for a while and darkened. Whether it was the location or lighting, in various senses, this location was quite in the underworld.

If it is appropriate, transforming it into a haunted house may make a big profit.

Rintaro couldn't help it: "Don't we really have to wait for Katase below? I'm afraid of her..."

Although Rintaro didn't finish his words, his meaning was expressed very clearly.

Teacher Akiyama turned around, looked at this floor, and blinked: "...Why that child...Okay, let's go downstairs to wait for her first."

"Can that light be replaced with a new one? It looks a bit cunning." Rintaro said, pointing to the flashing light tube.

"This floor has not been used for a long time, so it is normal for electrical appliances to be damaged. Don't worry too much." Teacher Akiyama waved his hand, then turned around and walked downstairs.

Rintaro couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and followed him.
