Chapter 4, Joining the Department

... ...

Fortunately, my handwriting is not difficult to read, and it hasn't deteriorated... However, what exactly is this service department for? It is not stated above.

Moreover, within this scene, there is a poised and quiet young girl, who is sitting quietly on a chair in the middle of the classroom, reading against the backdrop of the clear blue sky outside... The sight is so beautiful that it resembles a frozen painting...

This is a rare opportunity for a member to join, and I believe that Yukinoshita-san would be willing to spend some time waiting...

"Wait, why is it assumed that I will become a criminal as a premise?" Xia Ran couldn't help but raise her eyebrows a few times, revealing a strange expression on her face

That is because every time I am not able to respond in time, the teacher has already entered on their own. The girl's expression became even more dissatisfied

Although her tone sounded as if it contained a significant amount of "disagreement" and "unwelcomeness"

She spoke in a very plain manner, or rather, in a cold tone, as if she were as frigid as ice-cold snow

In any case, this matter is already settled. Teacher Pingzhong is merely concerned about him, and besides, Xia Ran is not someone who enjoys causing trouble for strangers. After all, the longer he delays, the longer the other party has to wait

After finishing, she carefully checked it once more, confirming that there were no issues and no typos. However, Xia Ran still did not understand what this club was about, and it was evident that this club did not resemble those such as the "Tea Ceremony Club" or the "Kendo Club," which could be directly judged by their names.

After pondering without result, he stood up and walked towards the girl beside him, holding the application form

Immediately after, she waved the book in her hand and coldly exhaled: "Classmate Xia Ran, I have approved your application to join the club... Welcome to the Service Club, I am very pleased that you have joined the organization"

"Yukino, is there something wrong?"

It even gives the impression that even if the end of the world were to come, this young girl would still remain there, continuing to read

I cannot bear to see him wholeheartedly heading towards the dark side of life, so I believe he should learn how to interact with others and communicate, at the very least, he should not be harmful to this world... This is my request

"Then, I entrust this matter to you..." Teacher Pingzhong turned around gracefully and left

As he pondered various thoughts, his hand did not cease its movement; in just a few swift strokes, he completed filling out the form.

So, it should be a collection of poetry or similar literary works

... ...

Xia Ran helplessly tugged at the corner of her mouth and could only follow them inside

Why does Teacher Pingzhong feel that he can learn and communicate with such a young girl? Does he belong to a more serious category in the eyes of the female teacher?

I do not have any questions, but do you have anything you would like to ask? If so, feel free to speak up, and I will do my best to provide you with an answer

A very simple example: how many people can remember what they ate on this day a month ago

This also demonstrates a certain level of respect for others. If one only asks for the other person's name or similar details after all questions have been asked, it feels as if such information is merely an optional accessory.

Xia Ran could only think this way, after all, he could not possibly believe that the book held by the girl was actually a fujoshi novel or a passionate manga... It was simply beyond the realm of his imagination.

Teacher Pingzhong, should I have mentioned to you to please knock on the door before entering

A corner of the classroom is messily piled with desks and chairs, suggesting that this place has been or is being used as a storage room

Although wearing the same uniform as others, along with a mini plaid skirt and black over-the-knee socks, she is completely different from those girls who are merely optional...! Indeed, good-looking people look good in anything, even in a burlap sack!

Perhaps he had some prior knowledge, but he was certainly not familiar with the people. Coupled with the chaotic dreamscape that led to an extreme confusion of his sense of time, one should not expect him to truly remember any notable figures from this school

This is classmate Xia Ran, whom I mentioned to you before, and you must know him as well. He has come this time to express his desire to join the club. However, Pingzhong Jing did not pay attention to this matter and directly pointed to someone behind.

In other words, she is both the minister and the only member, and the entire organization consists of just her alone

Teacher Hiratsuka immediately raised her eyebrows and glared, her sharp gaze was truly overwhelming, almost making it difficult to breathe

The girl did not respond immediately; she finally reached out her hand to gently take the application form, then briefly glanced at it before slipping it between the books resting on her knees

... ...

Classmate Yukinoshita coldly placed a club application form on the desk in front of Natsuran, handed him a pen, and then returned to her original seat, quietly continuing to read her book

Xia Ran originally thought that this matter might have some turnaround due to the girl's attitude, but unexpectedly, it was shattered again so quickly, leaving her feeling immensely disappointed

Noticing a sound, the young girl slightly raised her head

So that's how it is, is the member that Teacher Pingzhong asked me to wait for him?" The girl across from me stared over with a somewhat complicated expression, which left Xia Ran feeling a bit puzzled, as she thought she shouldn't know the other person.

At this moment, the young girl had already noticed someone entering, so she tucked the bookmark into the book in her hands, then raised her head and said in a cool voice

However, is it really acceptable for the other party to have such a cold personality? If that is the case, I fear that the other party may not have any friends either

Xia Ran originally intended to inquire about the purpose of this club, but after some thought, he decided to first ask a different question. He felt that since they would be seeing each other frequently, it would be better to address this question first.

Teacher Hiratsuka waved his hand and said with an indifferent expression

She possesses an exceptionally upright and outstanding appearance, with waist-length black hair, translucent and delicate skin, bright large eyes, and thin cherry-colored lips, all combining to form a beautiful and adorably striking face

So what exactly is going on? It seems that there are regulations regarding clubs within the school, right? There is also a minimum number of members required; if the number falls below a certain threshold, the club will not be allowed to be established or may be forcibly dissolved

... ...

A strange silence enveloped the room as the two individuals stared at each other, their large eyes locked onto the smaller ones, and for a moment, neither of them spoke first.

Previously, Teacher Hiratsuka's words also revealed a very subtle message, which is that in this peculiar club, Yukinoshita is the president, and there are no other members

The book in her hands was wrapped in a cover, so Xia Ran could not see clearly what she was reading. However, this girl gave off an impression of being an excellent student, a young lady of high status, as if even writing a few words would exude a fragrant aura, embodying the essence of a refined young lady.

... ... ''

In the face of such a situation, a question mark slowly emerged above Xia Ran's head—had she just said something wrong? Or was it that the question about her name was actually quite offensive, and she had inadvertently stepped on a landmine?

No, I do not want to...

The sound of pages flipping occasionally echoed in the classroom, and she seemed not to intend to return to class immediately, but rather to wait for Xia Ran to complete the application form

My name is Yukinoshita... Yukino

However, the girl's body stiffened slightly, and for a moment, she displayed a look of surprise, which was immediately replaced by a very displeased expression. Following that, she fixed her gaze on the person in front of her with an expression as if she had witnessed something incredible

... ...

She unilaterally announced this matter and did not listen to any arguments, objections, protests, dissatisfaction, or retorts. Xia Ran seemed to hear her coldly laughing and saying, "Let my right hand shatter your boring fantasies!"

It is the same now! As you can see, this fellow is actually quite pitiful, always alone by himself. I often visit his home because I fear that he might die at home and no one would know.

I understand, since it is the teacher's commission... The girl ignored him, and her expression clearly conveyed a sense of "this is such a hassle," yet she still reluctantly agreed.

In the gentle breeze blowing in from outside the window, the long black hair of classmate Xuezhixia is gently swaying, and on either side of her hair, there are red ribbon bows tied, a typical "long black straight" hairstyle

No! You want!

Although it is unclear what the minimum number of people is, whether it is five or ten, Xia Ran can be certain that it is definitely not one person; otherwise, this regulation would lose its significance

He cannot simply ignore such slander against him

Xia Ran couldn't help but be slightly taken aback; he had originally thought that there was no one inside, which was why Teacher Pingzhong had directly opened the door and entered

Apart from that, this place is no different from other classrooms; it is just an ordinary classroom

After all, on the surface, it was information he had hurriedly familiarized himself with when he enrolled a year ago. In reality, for him, it was something that had happened several years prior. Since it had no relevance to him, and he had neither seen nor known it before, it was certainly impossible for him to remember it

In the end, Xia Ran, still somewhat puzzled, raised the application form in her hand once again, signaling a bit.

If that day had not been particularly special and meaningful, it would have been impossible to remember such things, right? Similarly, for Xia Ran, he also did not remember some information that he had hurriedly learned several years ago.

This... well, may I ask for the full name of classmate Yukinoshita? I think it would be better to get to know each other first

"Even if I knock on the door, you have never responded." Teacher Pingzhong did not feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior and waved his hand dismissively.

Teacher Hiratsuka said this in a relaxed tone

In the end, the girl frowned in displeasure, her bright eyes gazing at him with dissatisfaction, coldly declaring this.

The conclusion is that he is unclear, as he had never heard of it before

Servitude Department? ... What a strange club this is. If possible, I think the Home Club would suit me better ... Summer Ran let out a resigned sigh and began to quickly search for information about this club in her mind

"Please, Teacher Pingzhong, do not make subjective judgments on my behalf, and you did not clarify to me before that this person is the one who should join the Servitude Club..." The girl, referred to as Classmate Yukinoshita, let out a cold sigh, her voice resembling the delicate and clear spring water found in the mountains

Indeed, after all, you are the head of the Servicing Department, and this organization has only you as a member. If he wishes to apply for membership, it must certainly be subject to your approval, wouldn't it?

As the door of the activity room was closed with a loud bang, only two people remained here

Although she is a very beautiful girl, or rather, the most beautiful person he has ever seen, he does not know her name at all
