On Monday.
As the fireworks display ended, the long summer vacation that lasted for more than a month finally came to an end.
It's early September.
7 am.
Naoki woke up from the sound of the alarm, closed his eyes for a moment, got up, put on his school uniform, only ate bread, then took his school bag and left the apartment.
After summer vacation, of course it was the start of a new semester.
The sun is shining outside.
Naoki looked up at the clear blue sky, and walked downstairs.
While walking to the intersection, Naoki suddenly saw a petite short orange haired elementary school student with a school bag in both hands and wearing the same school uniform as himself, walking forward on white bricks on the ground.
As she walked, the girl's skirt and hair gently fluttered in the wind, like a deer in the forest in the morning, looking alive and beautiful.
Looking from the side, you can see the delicate and beautiful half-face of the short-haired girl, as well as the high and straight radians on the chest that can't be ignored, which reminds Naoki of a poem.
This is seen as a ridge and crest on the sides.
Some stanzas are not only suitable for writing landscapes, but also for writing people!
"Ogata."
Naoki shouted.
The girl who was walking heard the scream and turned to look. When she saw Naoki, his little face would smile brightly when she suddenly seemed to remember something, and disappeared quickly, his expression calmly said:
"Asakawa-san, good morning."
"Morning."
Naoki took a few quick steps and approached Ogata, "Seeing how you were walking earlier, you looked really happy?"
"School has finally started, and I can see all of you right away… cough cough." Ogata coughed lightly, with a calm expression on his face, "Of course I'm happy to be able to study in the library together again."
Naoki was surprised: "You really said that you were so happy?"
"Even if it's me, I know what it means to be happy." Ogata looked up, "Asakawa-san looks down on me."
"I'm so sorry, please forgive me."
"Hmph, I refuse to accept it."
Naoki looked at Ogata with a doubtful expression on his face.
Ogata's heart skipped a beat, his little face still had a calm expression, and she tilted his head: "Asakawa-san, what are you looking at me for?"
Naoki didn't speak.
(Did you find me?)
(impossible.)
(I won't reveal my identity so easily!)
Ogata tried his best to tighten his facial muscles to prevent herself from showing a guilty expression, she asked in a confused tone "Is there something on my face?"
"Not."
Naoki shook his head, turned to look at the green light, then glanced at Ogata who seemed to be secretly relieved, and said, "The green light is on, let's go."
"Oh."
Ogata was half a step behind, and followed behind Naoki and walked across the street, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and a hint of arrogance appeared on his small face.
The sun is right.
When passing an alley, an orange cat was lying in the yard, lazily basking in the sun, surrounded by several pots of orchids, the breeze was blowing, flowers and plants swaying gently in the wind, looking extra warm.
Ogata couldn't help but glance at him again, and then the little head hit Naoki's back.
"It hurts..."
Ogata raised his hand to cover his forehead and asked: "Asakawa-san suddenly stopped?"
Naoki saw Ogata in front of him, reached out and pointed down, reminding:
"Your shoelaces are loose."
"Hah?" Ogata lowered his head and looked down at the peak in front of his chest with great difficulty, barely noticing the shoelace on his right leg loosening, "It should have been when I went out in the morning, it wasn't tied..."
If the shoelaces are loose, they must be tightened, if they are accidentally stepped on, they are easily dangerous.
"Asakawa-san, help me get my school bag."
Ogata handed the school bag in his hand.
"Yes." Naoki agreed and took his school bag "Want me to help?"
"I don't want to." Ogata firmly refused, "I can do something trivial like this myself."
Let the boy crouch and help tie the shoelaces. If anyone saw it, it would be very embarrassing!
Ogata quickly bent down and squatted down, enough to beat the breast volume of 99.9% of high school girls, and now a burden, directly pressing his knees, not only obscures his vision, can also cause the center of gravity to shift upwards, making it difficult for the body to maintain balance.
Naoki stood beside it, looked at the awkward Ogata who seemed to be sitting on the ground soon, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Huuuu..."
Ogata who took 30 seconds to tie his shoelaces, stood up, sighed in satisfaction, and took the school bag from Naoki, "Okay, let's go."
Naoki stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to go to the library to study after school in the afternoon?"
"Of course I go."
"Go with Furuhashi, I won't go."
"Eh? Why?"
Naoki took out his cell phone and waved it: "I received news last night that the Furuhashi Preservation Association will have a meeting this afternoon to discuss the protection of the new semester."
Ogata's eyes widened and she complained, "That's too much!"
"What is wrong?"
Naoki averted his gaze slightly and glanced.
"It doesn't matter." Ogata wanted to turn his face away, turn it halfway, and endure again, raised his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, with a serious expression on his face, "This kind of thing is too boring, next year will be a student candidate, have to devote time and energy to study. "
Naoki said firmly, "It's not boring."
"Eh?"
"There are not many limits in student candidates. Even ghost candidates and nap candidates can exist. It's normal for someone to be a fellow candidate for Furuhashi."
Ogata wanted to raise his hand to cover his forehead: "This is not normal at all."
She's not an idol, she just wants to read and study quietly at school, she doesn't need such a thing as a fan club.
Naoki continued: "Furuhashi-sama is gentle and kind, and in other words, she is very cute."
"You..."
Ogata's face slightly reddened, she said earnestly, "Praising another girl for being cute in front of a girl is too much for Asakawa-san."
Naoki said: "Even if you say that, the fact is that most people in the fan club are girls."
"What do fan clubs usually do?" Ogata said nonchalantly, "I haven't participated yet, I'm curious."
Naoki turned to look at Ogata, and said, "I will always like Furuhashi-sama."
"Eh?" Ogata's body shook, his face turned red, and she stuttered, "What are you talking about all of a sudden!"
"Fan club membership statement." Naoki repeated, "I will always like Furuhashi-sama."
"It doesn't matter." Ogata turned his head away, his earlobe became pink and soft, and she felt his heart beating fast in his chest, "Don't talk about that."
Naoki continued: "I will always like Furuhashi-sama."
Ogata glared angrily: "Why are you still talking?"
The corners of Naoki's lips rose slightly, and he said again: "Because I will always like Furuhashi..."
A small fist hit Naoki's stomach.
"it hurts."
Naoki took a half step back, clutching his stomach.
Furuhashi lifted his chin high and asked, "When did you find me?"
"What did you say?"
"I just saw you laughing." Furuhashi only felt his teeth tingle and wanted to bite, but she squeaked like a little tiger and broke the jar, "…Did Ricchan tell you, We switched bodies today?"
Furuhashi finally stopped playing the role and revealed his true identity.
"Ogata didn't text me." Naoki shook his head and sighed, "You have too many flaws."
Furuhashi puffed out his cheeks: "I'm obviously good at disguise, how can there be so many flaws?"
Naoki stretched out his finger: "The first is your school bag."
"What's with the school bag?" Furuhashi turned his head and looked behind her, "That's Ricchan's school bag."
"There's nothing wrong with a school bag, but the way you carry a school bag is wrong." Naoki finds his flaws, "When Ogata carries a school bag, she always holds the school bag strap with both hands, and you just stand. After tying your shoelaces, turn your school bag into a shoulder bag."
Furuhashi was dumbfounded, as if there was such a thing?
"Ordinary people don't pay attention to such small details!" Furuhashi complained, "Don't always pay attention to strange places!"
Naoki continued: "Actually, when I crossed the street earlier, I already suspected you."
"Crossing the street… meaning when we just met?" Furuhashi opened his eyes a little, "That's when you realized that I'm not Ricchan?"
"I'm not sure, but I have my suspicions." Naoki shook his head and said, "Because Ogata has to frequently deliver udon noodles, she is very sensitive to traffic light timing… The green light goes on for a few seconds, and you don't notice it."
You should know that Ogata Rizu has the title of 'humanoid navigation girl'. In order to rush when delivering udon, she had recorded all the seconds of the nearest traffic light in his head, and she would never be in a daze at an intersection!
Naoki finally said: "The thing that really convinced me was when you just tied your shoelaces."
Furuhashi was a little desperate, because on a whim, she wanted to play Ogata's identity, but she didn't expect to be easily seen: "...Because I tie my shoelaces too slowly?"
"It has nothing to do with speed." Naoki provided convincing evidence, "I was just asking you if you wanted me to tie your shoelaces. If it was Ogata, she would definitely say yes."
Furuhashi was speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, with Ogata's character saying what she thought, it was very likely that she would agree directly.
"That's impossible to say." Furuhashi refused to admit it, "Ricchan has grown a lot after summer vacation, so she wouldn't easily agree to this kind of thing."
Naoki said simply: "Then let's verify?"
"Eh? How do I verify it?"
Furuhashi was slightly surprised, saw Naoki turned to look at the intersection, then turned his head, and immediately saw herself across the street.
The three quickly joined in.
"Ogata, good morning."
Naoki raised his hand and greeted.
"Good morning." Ogata said with a calm expression, "When I woke up this morning, I found that Fumino and I had switched bodies again."
"To be precise, it should be a soul exchange." Naoki corrected his mistake, and then said, "Your shoelaces are loose, can I tie them for you?"
Ogata simply agreed: "Okay."
Furuhashi: "😐"
Taking a deep breath, Furuhashi said, "Ricchan, when you agree, you should look down to see if the shoelaces have loosened."
Ogata quickly said, "I forgot."
"Can you forget this kind of thing?"
"I usually look down and can't see the laces, just a little toe." Ogata looked down, "Fumino's body is so comfortable that I can clearly see the laces of his shoes."
Inadvertently experiencing mental criticism, Furuhashi's smile gradually crumbled.
...
Talking all the way, right to school.
Naoki saw three girls standing at the school gate. Seeing Ogata appear, they happily greet them: "Fumino, good morning."
"Long time no see."
"I am so happy to see Fumino again."
The three girls, Furuhashi's close friends at school, and core members of the Furuhashi Protector Association, were just waiting at the school gates as soon as school started.
Hugged by the arms of the two girls, Ogata felt a little uncomfortable with such intimate physical contact, so she could only turn his head and scream for help to 'self'.
Furuhashi had no choice but to turn to Naoki: "Quickly control your abilities!"
...
Naoki walked into the classroom quickly, his eyes sweeping, it was quite early today, and most of the time had arrived before he knew it. At this time, they were gathered together in groups of three or five, talking about all the various sciences and experiences during the summer vacation, sounding very lively.
Naoki calmly walked to his seat, put down his school bag, and sat down. The next table was empty, and he didn't see Itsuki's figure, no matter what he thought, it was Ichika's fault.
After clearing his mood, Naoki took out an exercise book and started answering questions.
Superpowers are acquired suddenly, and may suddenly disappear one day, but the knowledge learned will never be lost.
After an unknown amount of time, Itsuki's voice rang in my ears: "Asakawa-san, good morning."
Naoki stopped the pencil in his hand and turned to look. The girl who spoke had ahoge hair on top of her head shaking lightly. The star hair accessory was pinned to her temple, and her face was red and pink, it was Itsuki.
"Good morning." Naoki looked at Itsuki "Did you run here?"
"I slept in bed again in the morning, obviously the weather is not cold at all!" Itsuki stuck out the tip of his tongue and whispered, "When we got to the school gate, the door was almost closed, so I ran inside. There was a physical education sensei and the principal standing at the school gate, and Nino was even stopped…"
Naoki was curious: "What happened to Nino?"
Itsuki only sells Nino: "The disciplinary committee said her skirt was too short and asked her to lengthen it."
Nino was very concerned about dressing up. For the sake of beauty, she deliberately shortened her skirt, only she could do this kind of thing!
Itsuki kept complaining: "The disciplinary committee asked Nino which class she was in, and Nino said she was from Class C…"
Wait a minute...
If Naoki remembers correctly, Nino is definitely from Class B, right?
The Quintuplets in the Nakano family are transfer students, when they moved, it had been more than a week since school started, so they couldn't be placed in the same class, but one class per class.
"Right." Itsuki nodded, "Nino said her name is Nakano Miku."
No, it must be a bad girl! Your skirt is too short, and you actually pretend to be Miku, the crime is so bad!
"Miku is very angry." Itsuki whispered "She said she was coming home from school and she wanted to eat Nino's snacks."
The way to counterattack is to eat snacks, Miku is too weak!
After talking in class for a while, Naoki and Itsuki left the classroom and went to the auditorium. On the first day of school, the principal would speak on the stage, and the students would listen.
...
The day passed in a hurry, and it was time to go home from school.
Naoki was leaving the classroom and was about to go to the library when two girls suddenly stopped him.
"Asakawa-san, come here, I have business with you…"
