Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Miss Mei, please stop self-attack!
Chapter 6: Miss Mei, please stop self-attack!
Akito's face looked worse and worse, and the resistance of his stomach became more and more obvious.
'Damn it, stop it!'
Akito covered his stomach with both hands and pressed down hard. This scene was seen by Mei, who had been staring at Akito.
Mei bit her lip, took out the packaged breakfast, stood up in one go, and quickly walked to Akito and put it on his table.
"If you're hungry... you can eat this" Mei said softly.
Seeing Mei's strange behavior, classmates began to whisper, and all kinds of rumors emerged.
"Oh, is Raiden Mei pursuing the Class Monitor? How interesting. She only thinks of pursuing someone when she's down and out, but the Class Monitor is the top scorer in the mock exam that all the famous schools in Nagazora participated in. In the past, the Class Monitor was not worthy of the Miss of the ME Corp. but now it's the opposite."
"I really don't know why Raiden Mei is so shameless. We hadn't noticed the monitor talking to her before. Now she's trying to get rejected?"
"Besides being good-looking, she has nothing good to offer. How could the Class Monitor be so talented? Not only has he won the first prize in the National Piano Competition, but he has also won the first prize in the Nagazora City Olympic Competition... The girls chasing after the Class Monitor can line up from Chiba Academy to the next-door school."
The chatter below was a bit harsh, but Mei was so nervous that she couldn't hear it at all. She was concentrating on Akito's every move.
Akito raised his head and opened his sleepy eyelids with difficulty. The moment he saw Mei, his eyes suddenly widened.
[Raiden Mei, Favorability: 2 stars/(5 stars), infinitely close to 3 stars. She is just beginning to fall in love, has a great affection for the host, and will automatically beautify all the host's actions.]
Akito: ???
'I put a lot of effort into not communicating with her for a whole year, carefully keeping a distance from her and deliberately distancing myself from her. How come her favorability towards me suddenly became so high?'
'System, listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm!'
Akito had a complicated expression and snorted coldly: "I don't need it, I'm not hungry..."
Gurgle, gurgle... Akito was forced to change his words after his stomach churned.
'Just this once, it won't happen again. Next time, I have to target Raiden Mei and make her feel less favorable towards me!'
"It's impossible that I'm not hungry, thank you." Akito took the breakfast with confidence.
Seeing that Akito accepted her feelings, Mei was overjoyed. Her eyes and eyebrows revealed happiness, and her smile was as beautiful as a flower.
It is the golden wind and jade dew smiling at each other in the sunset, and it is the morning dew and hibiscus falling hand in hand under the rising sun.
The happiness of youth is as pure and simple as dew, without any impurities.
Seeing Akito accept the breakfast prepared by Mei, everyone sneered, not understanding why Akito would accept such a simple gift.
After all, there was a senior schoolmate who sent Akito a one-meter-high cake on his birthday.
It was impossible to finish it all. It was said that this one cake wasted nearly one hundred thousand. However, Akito declined.
Others didn't understand, but Sato Yuna knew that when she left in a hurry last night, she happened to see Raiden Mei around the corner.
In other words, Raiden Mei knew all along what they did last night...
When she thought of this, Sato Yuna lowered her head in shame. Similarly, several other girls buried their heads in their books and dared not speak.
Mei returned to her seat, supported her face with one hand, and just watched Akito wolf down the food quietly, very happy.
Mei's gaze was so scorching that it was hard for Akito not to notice it.
So he put on a stern face and acted like a Class Monitor and reminded, "Student Raiden, study hard in the morning and don't be absent-minded."
'Humph, lower your favorability to me!'
Akito was secretly delighted, but he didn't expect to see that the bubbles coming out of Mei's head were green.
(TL: Why green? of all colors don't get me wrong I love green because that's the color of Fauna but green in a symbol of love? and in Chinese fanfic at that... sorry for yapping it's just weird)
[Raiden Mei feels that the host is concerned about her studies.]
[Favorability +10]
Akito was stunned, his hand holding the rice ball suspended in the air.
At this time, the head teacher came in and looked at Akito who was still eating without any expression.
After all, Akito was a talent that the principal had spent a lot of effort to snatch from other schools. He took part in all the exams, big and small, whether it was the provincial exam, mock exam, monthly exam, or even the high school entrance exam.
He always came in first, and he always had a huge gap with the second place with ease.
If other students dared to eat during morning reading, would He, a senior teacher, lose his dignity? he would have to invite their parents to come over and criticize them!
Hou Lixie coughed twice, passed by Akito, pretended not to see him, walked to the podium, and read aloud: "Students, please stop. I will randomly select a student to recite the content of our Chinese class yesterday. Is there anyone who would like to raise their hand to be a model?"
For a long time after the words were spoken, there was still absolute silence. The students lowered their heads or hid behind a "hill" made of a large number of books.
Only Akito was eating openly. Mei looked at Akito seriously with a faint smile on her lips.
Hou Lixie frowned and said angrily: "Since there is no one, I will randomly pick someone. If you can't recite it, come to my office after class!"
Hou Lixie glanced around the classroom and stopped his gaze on Sato Yuna: "Sato Yuna, you stand up and answer. What is the next sentence of 'The cold winter knows the pine and cypress'?"
Sato Yuna was stunned for a moment, her mind a little confused. She slowly stood up, lowered her head timidly, and did not answer.
Hou Lixie was a little impatient and asked, "Do you know? If you can't answer, sit down first and come to my office after class."
whisper... whisper...
(TL: IDK how to make sound effects)
"What did you say? Speak louder. Who can hear you if you speak so quietly?"
Sato Yuna took a deep breath, then mustered up the courage to shout out: "A friend in need is a friend indeed!"
Hou Lixie nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, sit down."
Suddenly, Akito saw green bubbles appearing above Mei's head again -
[Raiden Mei feels that the host is sincere to her.]
[Favorability +10]
Akito: ???
'What did I do? I didn't say anything. Please don't mess with me when you make a bug. Fix it for me!'
[This is not a bug. After hearing 'A friend in need is a friend indeed,' Raiden Mei likes you even more.]
Akito didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The rice ball was once again suspended in the air to be washed by the cold wind.
Turning his head to look into Mei's eyes, Mei immediately lowered her head shyly with a red face.
Akito wailed in his heart: 'I beg you, Miss Mei, please stop self-attack! I just want to study quietly now.'
Mei couldn't hear Akito's inner voice, but she noticed that Akito was also looking at her, and she was very happy.
The girl's naive love made Mei involuntarily fantasize about some unrealistic things.
'It turns out that Akito has always been paying attention to me, but I didn't notice it before... I am so stupid, Mei, you are such a fool.'
