The high school that Kosuke attends is divided into different grade levels, with first year students on the first floor, second year students on the second floor, and third year students on the third floor.
　There is no rule that students are not allowed to go to another grade level, but basically, there are few students of different grades on floors other than that grade level.

''Hey, that's...!
'Crap, today was Lisa's first day of school!
Wow! The real thing is so cute.
What do they want on the first year floor?

　But this day was different.

"Hey, kiddo, is this the right place for Class E in Year 1?
Oh, it's right! Here it is! Also, I'm a fan! I always support you!
Thank you. Keep up the good work.
Yes!

　Most of the second and third grade students had gathered on the first floor, the first grade level, following a certain female student.

''As I recall, she had dark hair and a medium build...could it be that girl?''

　A petite female student with short brown hair and a pretty face. She walked into the classroom of Class E of the first year with an unconcerned expression, despite the fact that she was exposed to curious eyes.

What's going on with everyone?

　Lunch break. As I was eating lunch in the classroom with Ishida and Takigawa, I was thinking about yesterday.
　The plan was for the chairman, Soji and the others to come to my house for a visit yesterday, but it was abruptly cancelled.
　I was hoping that I would be able to learn some unknown techniques from the chairman and others, or learn the unusual abilities of Shizuku and the others, but perhaps it was because I was thinking such an evil thought that it was cancelled.
　Away with the evil thoughts!

Susukino is a nighttime town with a lot of conspiracies. A former resident of the underworld tells the truth about it... or maybe it's not a very good article.

　As I was brushing off the evil thoughts, Takigawa muttered that with a disappointed expression while fiddling with his phone.

'What's wrong with being so downhearted? Normally, he'd be happy to tell those stories.
It's not. I'm into the occult, you know? I'm a sucker for ghosts and aliens and the unknown. I don't care about conspiracies and schemes between people.
Okay, I don't get it.

　After exchanging those words with Ishida, Takigawa began fiddling with his phone again to look for occult material.

'I wonder if anything interesting will happen.
No, no, no, peace is best.
'When you say Yuki is at peace, it sounds like a flag.
'Sure, this is going to be interesting!

　What did you say? It's true that since the start of high school life, there have been a lot of events that are far from peaceful, but just the day before yesterday I got a strange sword, and it's just been too unusual.
　In the first place, it's strange that such extraordinary events occur so frequently. If you think about the frequency of these events, it's not surprising that I've had enough of them to be at peace for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry to interrupt you. I'm sorry to interrupt the conversation, but I'm wondering if you're Yuki Kousuke.
Yeah, yeah... but... but... but...

　I was startled. When I turned around, a beautiful girl with short brown hair was standing there. It's nice to meet you, but I know this person; she's the senior "Hanazono Lisa" of Class A, Class 2.
　She's a beautiful woman who is as popular as the committee chairperson and the Tsukino sisters, and she's a real celebrity who is an active idol despite being a student.

'Wow, what a bunch of people!'

　Looking at the corridor, an unusual number of onlookers have gathered there.
　Since she is an entertainer, the number of days she goes to school is extremely low, so a crowd of people seems to have gathered to catch a glimpse of her.

I'm glad to hear that. I just wanted to talk to you about something.
Oh, yes, I'm fine.

　Hanazono-senpai took me by the hand and took me out of the classroom as it was.
　As expected of a celebrity. They seem to be accustomed to gatherings and don't care about the eyes of the people around them at all. Well, I'd be terribly bothered by them. It's 20% questioning stares and 80% killing stares.

''Ze, this isn't funny at all!

　While listening to Takigawa's cries, Hanazono-senpai took me by the hand and I left the classroom.
