Chapter 481 Secret Action

Shinjoka walked briskly to the shoe cabinet of Class A, and then gently poked someone on the arm.

"Hey, An Yilun is also a classmate~ Can we chat for a while?"

"Uh-huh! Appeared——!"

An Yilun, who had just put his shoes in the shoe cabinet, suddenly shook his body, hit the cabinet with a "thud", and screamed unconsciously.

"Ah haha, it's me, it's me~ Why are you so surprised, Aki-kun? It's so funny~"

"No, suddenly appearing from the blind spot of other people's field of vision will really scare people to death!!"

"is that so?"

Shinjoka tilted her face slightly and blinked innocently.

"Sorry, sorry~ I didn't expect to scare you like this, so forgive me~?"

"Oh, oh...nothing."

"But~ your reaction just now was really funny, hahaha, ahhahaha~"

"Even so, your smile is too exaggerated, isn't it!?" An Yilun also complained hard, his face full of embarrassment.

"Because~~~well——"

Shinjoka held her belly, as if trying to hold back her laughter, and her petite shoulders were trembling slightly.

"...by the way, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Huh?"

"No, otherwise you wouldn't talk to someone like me, right? So what happened?" An Yilun also asked coldly, knowing full well his popularity in school.

Although he's not exactly the type to be hated by everyone, he's not the type that girls would actively talk to.

Of course, he didn't care about it.

"Ah~ this." Shinjoka raised her face, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her knuckles, and said, "Hey, do you want to go to the classroom together?"

"Huh? Why? Besides, our classrooms are completely in different directions, right??"

An Yilun also had a look of astonishment on his face. He didn't expect that she would make such an invitation and couldn't help but froze on the spot.

"Even if you ask why~~~well..."

Shinjoka put her finger on her lips, raised her chin slightly and thought for a moment, then showed a mischievous smile.

"I just want to chat with you, can't you~?"

"...!"

Her innocent smile, like that of a two-dimensional heroine, burst into the eyes of the unsuspecting An Yilun.

He was a little distracted for a moment, then gave himself a slap in the heart, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose vigilantly, and replied:

"...Is this some kind of prank to play tricks on people? For example, if you agree, you will be scolded as "disgusting", or a blackboard stained with chalk dust will be erased when you enter the classroom."

"It's annoying, I won't do such low-level things. Have you forgotten? I am the publicity committee member of the student union~"

"oh……"

"But, since you are so worried, let's go to Class A first, and then I will go back by myself. Ah, you don't think I am setting an ambush in your classroom or something?"

"That's not the case... I mean, whatever you want, you'll know later that we can't talk together."

An Yilun also said that he bumped into the shoe cabinet and walked towards the classroom on the east side of the corridor, his attitude was a bit unkind.

Shinjoka didn't mind this and followed him up.

"Speaking of which, what do An Yi-san think of what just happened?"

"What happened just now?"

"That's right. There are a lot of reporters at the school gate, right? This is the first time I've seen this kind of thing, but it seems that you, An Yi-san, have been interviewed, right?"

"Oh, I accepted it, but I don't know the questions they asked."

"Hey, who is the author of the "Chainsaw Man" comic? Even Aki-san doesn't know?"

"Basically, who knows who the guy who hides his head and shows his tail is?"

"Yeah?"

"Yes, so if you came to me with this purpose, I'm sorry that you came to the wrong person."

"That's it. Can I ask you to investigate this matter?"

"What?"

An Yilun also turned around in surprise and asked, "Why would I do such a thing? If you want to know, can't you go check it yourself?"

Shinjoka shook his head and denied it: "Although it's a bit embarrassing to say this, there is no way I can do such a thing."

"...What do you mean? You are the propaganda committee member, so you don't need to be so unsure, right?"

"These are two different things, and not only me, but even the Information Department's intervention is useless. You are the only one in this school who can do this kind of thing, An Yilunya-san."

An Yilun couldn't help but be stunned, and then turned his face away with some embarrassment and said:

"Even if you say so, I am just an otaku obsessed with the second dimension. I am neither Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era nor Kudo Shinichi."

"No~~~Because of this, you are the most suitable candidate."

Shinjoka smiled and said: "After all, Aki-kun, you know so much about otakus. It just so happens that this incident is also related to comics. Isn't this your best field?"

"Huh? The problem is that I don't even know who the cartoonist is."

"That's because An Yi-san, you didn't take it seriously, right? It's a comic after all, so it must have left some clues in the school, right?

As those reporters said, that person is probably from the Comics Research Club, right? So there should be something worth exploring there."

"That's true..."

"Right~ Because I really can't think of a reliable partner other than you, so I can only leave this matter to you, Aki-kun."

"But..." An Yilun also said hesitantly: "Since you have thought of all this, it doesn't matter if it's not me, right?"

Shinjoka was a little irritable in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face and continued to follow the instructions with a smile.

"That's not what you said. After all, compared to us, Otaku trusts Otaku more, right? Maybe there is some hidden information?"

In order to make him make up his mind, she continued:

"How about this? If you, An Yi-san, are willing to help, I can turn a blind eye to your bringing contraband to school in the future, or even help cover it up?"

"--real!?"

An Yilun blurted out without thinking, but immediately realized something.

"No, wait, that's the job of the disciplinary committee, right?"

"That's right~"

Shinjoka did not deny this, but explained calmly:

"But because President Kato has never designated a specific target, if I offer to serve as the Disciplinary Committee member at the same time, he won't disagree, right?"

"Isn't it right? Why are you so sure? You are not the only one in the student union, right?"

"Then, An Yi-san, do you think anyone else is suitable for this job?"

"this……"

An Yilun also thought for a moment and replied:

"In terms of ability, if Shiyu-senpai wants to do it... she can still do it... and probably Kato Megumi too."

"Ah ha ha ha ha~ I won't judge your naive thoughts."

Shinjoka couldn't help laughing, as if she had heard some funny joke.

"In short, President Kato will not leave that kind of thing to anyone, including Vice President Kato, Kasumigaoka-senpai, and Eiri, even if he does it himself."

"Huh? Why are you so sure?"

"You really don't know anything about that person."

"What does this mean!?"

Faced with An Yilun's unconvinced questioning, Shintiao Xiang just smiled faintly, with a somewhat mature expression.

"If I have to say it, it is the essential difference between him and others. Although that person is a bit deep, he is more like a man than you."

"Hey, this is too baffling, isn't it?"

"Anyway, that's it, so I'll leave it to you. Do your best, An Yilunya-san, I will cheer for you~!"

"Wait……!"

"Bye~"

Regardless of what An Yilun wanted to say, Shintiao Xiang waved his hand and turned around and left.
