"… So this is your attitude of gratitude!"

Ming Shi Guoxing, who had been dragged from the bed to the floor by Sanchū Ming for the past few days, was about to go crazy.

"Get up and wash up." Sanchū Ming put away the key that Ying Wan gave him and dragged Ming Shi to the bathroom door.

He easily picked up the young man who was lying on the ground with a look of despair.

Five Tigers Retreat, who had been waiting in front of the sink, stuffed a mouthwash and toothbrush into Ming Shi's hand and stood on tiptoe to stuff the toothbrush into Ming Shi's mouth.

"I'm not … disabled …" Ming Shi Guoxing puffed up a mouth full of foam.

He protested vaguely.

"Brother Ying told me that you only have a pretty face." Sanchū Ming leaned against the door.

"That won't do. You won't be able to find a girlfriend."

"My selling point is that I don't have drive … Don't expect anything from me."

"Someone bought it?"

Ming Shi raised his eyelids and looked at Sanchū Ming with an expression that said, "You don't understand this." He reached out and pointed outside.

"Pull out the box under the coffee table in the living room."

The rabbit slippers that Ying Wan had specially sold to Five Tigers Retreat were a little big.

The little boy ran all the way, dragging his cotton slipper along the way.

He squatted down and pulled out the box.

"Wow … Brother Ming Shi is so awesome … Sister, these are all love letters for Brother Ming Shi!" Five Tigers Retreat's pair of starry eyes shone brightly.

"Girls these days don't like a perfect Prince Charming.

Those are all secondary male leads. "Ming Shi curled his lips and raised his bony hand to brush his bangs.

Even though there was still foam at the corner of his mouth,

His unwashed face was still a little oily, and he still managed to exude an unruly wild aura. "Men who don't have drive but are unexpectedly charming and a little naughty are the ones who are popular —

"… What's with your face that looks the same as in the comic?"

Sanchū Ming put away the comedic expression on his face. "It's the expression when you're looking at trash."

"… Don't think that I won't beat you up."

Sanchū Ming looked Ming Shi Guoxing up and down, and his gaze stopped at the thin layer of muscle on his arm that was exposed outside his short sleeve.

"Heh."

She revealed an extremely sarcastic expression.

"…" Mingshi Guoxing was too lazy to argue with Sanchū Ming.

Sanchū Ming might have felt that he had spoken too bluntly, so he tried to encourage him.

"You can dream."

"…" He changed his mind. He wanted to raise his fist and punch that annoying face right now.

"Ah, that's right.

This week was the Ice Emperor's regular morning meeting.

Sanchū Ming, who didn't know that Ming Shi was preparing to fight with her, lowered her head and looked at the "Ming Shi – Travel Schedule" that Ying Wan had given her.

He had inadvertently resolved a battle without any suspense. "President Nieze is going to announce the semester schedule set by the Student Council. The importance of the schedule is five stars. The first class is the Chinese language test. The importance of the test is five stars. The Student Council is going to have a meeting today to discuss the recruitment of new members. The importance of the test is five stars. At noon, we are going to the cafeteria for lunch. The importance of the test is five stars …"

"… Wait, why is even going to the cafeteria for lunch five stars?" Ming Shi spat out the mouthwash in his mouth and ridiculed in shock.

"Maybe the cafeteria has free Kaishi cuisine and Muse's campus gratitude concert today?" Sanchū Ming randomly analyzed.

"… When did you get involved with idols?" Ming Shi Guoxing's worldview was refreshed.

She followed Ying Wan to watch Marvel and DC, liked science fiction, and started to be addicted to ACG. She was also addicted to using a wooden sword to hit people.

When did this girl get involved with idols?

"If miracles have a color, it must be orange." Sanchū Ming spoke passionately as if he was narrating his lifelong belief.

He was hopeless. This person was hopeless.

Ming Shi Guoxing lowered his head and silently washed his face.

"I'm telling you, Muse is simply a miracle of idols. Their single sales back then were less than 500, and now their single is selling like hotcakes. The movie's box office is high, and the viewership of the Red and White Song Festival soared to 37.7% …"

"Okay, I got it. Take him away. Next."

Ming Shi slapped Three Suns Moon Bright's forehead and pushed her away. With a determined expression, he expressed that he would definitely not become the next victim of the evil cult.

Sanchū Ming still didn't stop talking. He followed Ming Shi and chattered endlessly. He was so annoyed that he became more diligent than ever. He quickly washed up, packed up his things, ate, changed his shoes, and stood at the door with a lunchbox.

"Are you coming or not?" He pushed up his glasses.

"Go, return the money and change your shoes."

"I'm coming."

Five Tigers Retreat put on their shoes and ran out of Ming Shi's house. They slowed down when they passed by the courtyard between the two houses. "This resident still doesn't have a name tag …"

He curiously ran between Ming Shi Guoxing and Sanchū Ming. "Brother Ming Shi, is there anyone living here?"

"I don't know."

Ming Shi yawned. "I occasionally see trash, and there are no flyers in the mailbox at the door. But I've never seen anyone coming or going."

"Eh?

So there really is someone living here? "Five Tigers Retreat's eyes widened.

"Yes."

Sanchū Ming tilted his head and looked at the courtyard inside. The barrier door and curtains were tightly drawn, so he couldn't see inside at all.

She reached out and pointed at one of the windows.

"There's someone behind that window."

？！

Ming Shi subconsciously blocked the adult and the child behind him.

"… Ah, ahhh?"

Five Tigers Retreat was startled. He stiffly grabbed the corner of his sister's clothes and peeked from the neighbor's side at the window where someone was said to be spying.

"Someone's there?" Ming Shi looked in the direction of Sanchū Ming's finger. He could only see dark curtains.

Wait a minute, who would install dark curtains that don't let in light?

Hey, this development isn't good …

Ming Shi, who had watched too many detective mysteries, swallowed subtly.

After Sanchū Ming pointed it out, he didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but he felt that someone was staring at him fiercely from behind the window.

"Yes, I feel like I'm being watched. It's very strong." Sanchū Ming said, "Don't you feel it?"

Ming Shi hesitated. Five Tigers Retreat directly buried their heads in Sanchū Ming's coat and pretended to be ostriches.

"This family likes to look at our family members. Every time I pass by, I feel like I'm being watched. Sometimes, I even feel it in the empty backyard.

"Ah, Treasure Retreat, they should be looking at you now."

"Wahhh!!!"

Five Tigers Retreat was so scared that they were about to cry.

"Eh?

Why are you so scared? "

"Don't you feel like you're telling a ghost story, Sanchū Ming!?"

"No."

Sanchū Ming thought for a moment. "I feel like that gaze is very affectionate … Maybe they're envious of our family having so many children."

… No, ordinary people wouldn't do something that was tantamount to voyeurism just because they were envious of their neighbors having so many children.

Who would believe you?

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Five Tigers Retreat believed him. They didn't doubt him at all.

He completely relaxed. He let go of Sanchū Ming's coat and poked his head out from behind Ming Shi's back.

"Then, will they be sad to see us so vigilant?" Five Tigers Retreat bit his lip like an angel with an apologetic expression.

… Of course not!

What's wrong with your family!?

Your brain circuits are so weird. Are you all sweet angels who don't eat the food of mortals?!

While Ming Shi was complaining in his heart, Sanchū Ming patted Five Tigers Retreat's head and praised, "Treasure Retreat is so kind. Sister is very happy.

"Speaking of which, I'm sorry. We've been neighbors for so long and we haven't greeted each other yet." She suddenly tapped her palm. "Come, Treasure Retreat, let's say hello together."

And so, in Ming Shi Guoxing's line of sight, two light golden heads, one tall and one short, nodded in the direction of the window where someone was supposedly spying on them. They even waved and greeted each other with the same bright smile.

Of course, no one responded. There was no movement behind the curtain at all.

Ming Shi Guoxing slowly covered his face with his hands.

What's wrong with this family's brain?!

Don't they feel ashamed of doing such a thing???

What made him even more uncomfortable was that at that moment, he was actually tainted by Sanchū Ming's spirited brain circuits. He began to seriously wonder if the person behind the curtain would be moved.

"Morning, Brother Ying."

"Morning, Ming Ming."

Ying Wan smiled and stood on tiptoe to pat Sanchū Ming's head. "It's been hard on you to take care of Ming Shi for me every day."

"No, it's convenient." Sanchū Ming half-squatted and took out a lunchbox from his bag. "This is yours."

Ying Wan's smile almost melted in the sunlight.

He put the lunchbox in the hands of the vice chairman behind him and turned back to say, "Hey, first year, that dog chain of yours is against the rules."

"Ah?

The dog chain is referring to me? "

After the first year who was called out confirmed that it was him, he pointed at Sanchū Ming and Ming Shi Guoxing in disbelief. "Her hair and this senior's black Choker are not against the rules. Why, pfft —"

Ying Wan slowly retracted his left leg.

"Children who break the rules shouldn't ~ quibble ~"

"I feel like Senior Ying has completely let himself go recently …" A passing student trembled with fear.

"The frequency of him beating people has increased." His companion had a lingering fear.

"It's probably because Senior Ying had to take care of Senior Ming Shi before … After handing Senior Ming Shi over to someone he trusted, he probably completely let himself loose in the disciplinary committee."

"…"

"Morning, Kuroko."

Sanchū Ming walked into Class A from the back door and greeted Tetsuya Kuroko who was sitting alone in the last row.

The blue-haired teenager stared at Sanchū Ming with a pair of beautiful and pure eyes and didn't say anything.

？

Sanchū Ming stopped walking in confusion.

"What —"

"Morning, Sanikuyue San." Tetsuya Kuroko suddenly spoke.

"Wah, what time?!"

Sitting in front of Tetsuya Kuroko, the tall boy who had just pulled out a chair was so scared that he fell on his butt.

"When …" Kuroko, who was clearly trying to scare the boy earlier, had an innocent expression. "I've always been here, Fire God Kun."

Sanchū Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes and stare at this mischievous teenager.

This wasn't the first time.

Tetsuya Kuroko's presence was abnormally weak in the eyes of ordinary people. Not only would he not be noticed when standing next to others, but even his belongings, photos, and even personal information would be ignored.

It was said that this mutant's bugged ability had a very cool name: Misdirection, Line of Sight Misdirection.

The vice-homeroom teacher, Sakata Kinshi, probably didn't notice this teenager with a weak presence when arranging the seats. There were a total of 30 seats in the 5x6 class, and Tetsuya Kuroko became the non-existent 31st seat.

Tetsuya Kuroko, who was ignored and had no seat, quietly waited for the 30 people in front of him to finish introducing themselves. When Sakata Sensei was about to talk about the precautions, he stood behind Sakata Kinshi.

"Ah … What's the first thing I have to say?

Ah, respect the teacher. "

Sakata Sensei was knocking on the table and talking nonsense. "Thirty people, according to the order of your student number, take turns to buy a box of strawberry milk and put it on the podium.

Ah?

Why?

Empathize with the teacher, understand? As a teacher, I've shed blood and tears to train you- "

At this time, Tetsuya Kuroko gently patted Sakata Sensei's shoulder from behind.

"Sensei." He spoke as softly as the wind. "Do I need to prepare too?"

"Ahhhhh, there's a ghost!!!!"

Sanchū Ming, who sat in the second row, used her excellent eyesight to guarantee that the naturally tanned youth, who had scared Sakata Sensei, had his lips curled into an unnoticeable smile. At the same time, Sakata Sensei's tears and snot fell on Yuji Ninazhi's head, who happened to have his head lowered.

Yuji Ninazhi probably had no idea why Keigo Atobe, who sat to his left, and Sanchū Ming, who sat to his left, gave him a look of disgust when he turned his head to ask for the student handbook from Atobe.

The reason Tetsuya Kuroko was scaring Vulcan, who sat before him, was probably because this young man who had just returned from America had somehow attracted Tetsuya Kuroko's attention. That was why the tanned youth had been scaring this tall, thick-skinned youth every day.

With this thought in mind, Sanchū Ming could not help but pat Vulcan on his shoulder.

"You have to do your best in life."

She solemnly encouraged him.
