Time passed by lukewarmly. After a week, the popularity of the legendary handsome barista had completely dissipated, but there were still many customers left, so the two were quite busy in the afternoon. However, when Ye Shanming took the exceptionally beautiful Fukuzawa Yukichi from the store manager, he felt that all his tiredness of the afternoon had completely disappeared.
The 50,000 yen compensation promised by Shijo Shinki had been transferred through the bank card in the morning. Ye Shanming checked his own treasury. After deducting this month's food, clothing, and rent, he already had a surplus of 40,000 yen. As long as he worked for another two weeks, he could consider going to Akihabara to buy a second-hand computer and start his own V circle Qin Shi Huang career.
"Thank you, manager. We'll be leaving today."
The two bowed to the store manager and walked towards the tram station together, ending their work for the day.
After returning home, Ye Shanming first completed his usual tweet business, and then began to browse other people's tweets to see if there were any traces of suspected magic stones. Unfortunately, there was no trace today, so he had to give up.
In the early morning, the rainstorm that swept across Tokyo finally passed and the sun shone. Hayama Akira stretched, walked out of the apartment and headed towards Shuchiin.
As we walked up the ramp, a familiar voice came, with obvious panic:
"Ahhh! People in front, please make way!"
A bicycle passed by him at an extremely fast speed, his silver hair flew in the air, and the strong airflow lifted the corner of his clothes.
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry!"
Ye Shanming felt that this scene was familiar. He looked closely and found that the second bicycle rider was actually Shirogane Kei, who had given him the impression of being well-behaved. So he called out to her:
"Xiaogui!"
"It's Brother Ye Shan."
Bai Yingui heard someone calling her, stepped on the brakes, turned around and found it was Ye Shanming, she gave him a dignified smile and greeted him.
Ye Shanming trotted over and found that the basket in front of the bicycle was full of newspapers. He immediately understood.
"You're delivering newspapers."
"Yes."
Bai Yingui lifted his long silver hair, a look of distress and worry on his face: "Originally, it was sent by my brother, but he started having a high fever the day you left, Brother Yeshan. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor said he had a lung infection and needed to be hospitalized for a few days for observation."
As he spoke, Bai Yingui raised his left wrist, looked at his watch, and was suddenly shocked.
"It's too late. I have to go to school after delivering the newspapers. Brother Ye Shan, I'm leaving first!"
Looking at Bai Yingui's hurried figure riding away on his bicycle, Ye Shanming's impression of this schoolmate became better and better. She is such a sensible and good child.
After arriving at school, it was the same as usual. No student council president or the like came to bother him. However, there were a lot more classmates greeting him in the morning, calling him "Lord Myoung" one by one. It was obvious that these were the results of Tanuma Tsubasa's hard work.
Ye Shanming looked at Tanuma Tsubasa who was listening to the class attentively and sighed deeply. The first battle against Tanuma Tsubasa was obviously a failure. It seems that he has to choose a time to discuss the second battle. He must get rid of the current situation!
As soon as the school bell rang, Akira Hayama picked up his schoolbag and ran towards the school gate. He and Iino Miko had agreed to meet at the junior high school gate. Because Otomo Kyoko did not join any club, he had to stop her before she went home.
As for Ji Karen, Ye Shanming had already informed her that her painting class was cancelled that morning. Hayasaka Ai, who was leaning in the hallway playing with her phone as usual, glanced at him but didn't follow him.
Last night, for some unknown reason, Kaguya Shinomiya rescinded the order for her to follow Akira Hayama, and said that she wanted to take the position of student council president in a fair and just manner.
Although she didn't understand why, Hayasaka Ai absolutely agreed to cancel the order. After tracking Hayama Akira for a whole week without finding any negative information, she had already become impatient.
It's a rare moment of free time, why not find a cafe to sit and relax? Hayasaka Ai thought to herself.
Akira Hayama ran all the way to the gate of Shuchiin Junior High School, where Iino Miko and her friend with glasses were already waiting.
"Here I come! I hope they haven't left yet."
Ye Shanming ran up to the two of them and without any greetings, he directly asked the question that concerned him most.
"Still in the classroom."
"Then let's go quickly."
Ye Shanming urged, and Iino Miko looked at him suspiciously. Ye Shanming was frightened by her gaze. Finally, she suddenly said:
"Weird Senior, you don't have other intentions, do you? I have a feeling you're not the type to take a friend's request so seriously."
"Haha, how could that be? It seems that you, Xiao Mizi, have a deep misunderstanding of me."
Akira Yeshan was startled by Iino Miko's words. He touched her head guiltily, but the latter ruthlessly pushed his hand away.
"It's because I know Freak Senpai too well that I don't believe you!"
Iino Miko retorted, and then the three of them walked towards the junior high school building.
Chapter 25: I became a genius high school detective?
"That girl is Otomo Kyoko."
Iino Miko brought Hayama Akira to the third grade classroom. A girl with her long chestnut hair tied into a high ponytail was chatting with a gloomy-looking boy. It was called chatting, but it was basically Otomo Kyoko who was talking, and the gloomy boy nodded and listened. Even so, she was smiling, and people could feel her vitality.
"You must be Otomo Kyoko-san,"
Ye Shanming interrupted the conversation between the two, walked forward, stretched out his right hand, and introduced himself: "My name is Ye Shanming, and I'm a student in the high school department."
"Yes, Senior! I'm Otomo Kyoko."
Kyoko Otomo was surprised and a little scared, and shook hands with Akira Hayama nervously, not knowing why this strange senior suddenly came to the junior high school to find her.
"Don't be nervous."
Ye Shanming saw her uneasiness, comforted her, and then told her the purpose of his visit.
"My friend saw the red gem you picked up on Twitter and she liked it so much that she asked me to ask you if you could sell it."
"Hey, that red gem you found?"
Otomo Kyoko showed a troubled expression on her face and gave an answer that was beyond Ye Shanming's expectations: "I have already given that to my boyfriend."
Ye Shanming frowned and continued to ask unwillingly: "Where is your boyfriend? Can you give me his contact information?"
"Huh? Who wants to see me?"
A frivolous male voice was heard, and a boy walked in from the door, put his arm around Kyoko Otomo's shoulders, and gave Akira Hayama an artificial smile.
"Hey, it's you, a senior from the high school. I heard everything from outside. You want the stone that Kyoko gave me, right?"
The frivolous boy took out a pendant from his neck, on which hung a crystal clear red stone. The only difference between it and the magic stone that Jia Xi wore was the shape. Ye Shanming narrowed his eyes and was basically certain that this stone was the magic stone.
"My dear classmate, could you please give up this stone?"
Although the frivolous boy's smile made him feel uncomfortable, Ye Shanming suppressed his inner dissatisfaction and asked him politely.
"Hey, a senior student asked me for this stone. What should I do? Will I get beaten if I don't agree?"
The fake panic tone made Iino Miko, who was standing at the door, frown. Otomo Kyoko also felt that the tone was not good and tugged at the corner of his clothes.
"Then it seems I can only give it to the senior."
The boy took the pendant off his neck and handed it to Ye Shanming, then took it back and shook his head pretentiously: "It seems that you don't need it, senior. As juniors, we will leave first."
"What do you mean."
Ye Shanming was unmoved and just looked at him calmly. He showed a sarcastic smile, put his arm around Otomo Kyoko's shoulders and walked her out of the classroom, and deliberately bumped Ye Shanming with his shoulder.
"What do you mean? I simply don't want to give it to you. You're just a junior from the same college, but you're acting like a senior. It's hilarious, hahahaha!"
Anyone could hear the strong disdain and hostility in the words. Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Iino Miko stomped her feet angrily. Whether from the perspective of the discipline committee member or the bystander, she felt that Otomo Kyoko's boyfriend was really annoying.
"Ishigami, who is this annoying guy?"
Iino Miko turned around and asked the gloomy boy who had been sitting in his seat without saying a word. The boy answered her while packing his bag:
"Ogino Hikaru, is said to be an elite in the drama club and very popular with the girls."
Ye Shanming touched his chin, thinking about something. He just remembered that Jia Xi had told him before that if ordinary people possessed the magic stone, not only would they not be able to obtain magic power, but it would bring disaster and misfortune, and even put their lives in danger. However, Otomo Kyoko and her boyfriend did not seem to be affected by the magic stone at all.
"Weird Senior, what are you thinking about?"
Iino Miko saw that he didn't know what he was thinking and didn't even seem angry, so she asked curiously.
Instead of answering her, Hayama Akira asked the gloomy young man who had a close relationship with Otomo Kyoko:
"Classmate, I'd like to ask, have you heard from Otomo Kyoko that anything bad has happened recently?"
The gloomy boy thought seriously for a moment, and finally shook his head, indicating that he had not heard Otomo Kyoko say that. Hayama Akira thanked him, then turned and left with Iino Miko.
Since Iino Miko was a discipline committee member and needed to stay in the school to patrol, Hayama Akira said goodbye to her and thanked her for her help today, then left the junior high school campus alone.
"Senior Ye Shanming, wait!"
Hearing someone calling him, Ye Shanming stopped and looked back. He saw a boy running towards him breathlessly. It was the gloomy boy from before.
"Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
The gloomy young man gasped for breath, supported his knees with his hands, and nodded vigorously. Ye Shanming looked at his sweaty head and disheveled appearance, without saying much. After waiting for a few minutes, the young man finally caught his breath and bowed directly to Ye Shanming.
"Senior Hayama Akira, my name is Ishigami Yu, and I'd like to entrust you with a favor. I'll pay you!"
His polite attitude was in stark contrast to that of Otomo Kyoko's boyfriend, Ogino Hikaru. He even took out a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi's books from his jacket pocket and handed them to him with both hands.
Ye Shanming didn't take the money. He patted his shoulder and motioned him to stand up straight. "Tell me the details of the commission first, and then I'll decide whether to accept it or not."
"Oh, good."
Ishigami You was stunned and quickly took the money back, fearing that Ye Shanming would be angry. He rubbed his hands, swallowed, and began to tell the story nervously.
Akira Hayama listened quietly, without showing any impatience towards Ishigami Yu's somewhat long-winded narration. It was just a coincidence that the matter entrusted by Ishigami Yu was also related to Ogino Hikaru.
According to Ishigami Yu, Otomo Kyoko is one of his only two friends. She is simple, kind and full of energy. About two weeks ago, Otomo Kyoko and Ogino Hikaru started dating. Since he had no feelings for Otomo Kyoko, he naturally wished them both the best.
But last Wednesday, on his way home from school, he saw Ogino Hikaru taking a girl he didn't know into a shop dealing in the pink industry, and he suspected that he was cheating on Kyoko Otomo.
"So you want me to help investigate Ogino Hikaru, and preferably take photos of the evidence?"
Ye Shanming showed an interested look. It had to be said that this kind of commission to catch someone cheating was really interesting. Moreover, leaving aside the matter of the magic stone, just the provocation and ridicule of Ogino Hikaru, he did not lose his temper on the spot. That was his self-restraint as an adult, and it did not mean that he was not angry at all.
Ishigami Yuu nodded frantically, "I was originally planning to hire a private investigator to investigate this weekend, but you happened to be here today, and I also heard from Iino that you're very skilled and easily defeated three delinquents, so I decided to entrust you with the task."
Chapter 26: I am your calamity.
Akira Yeshan was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Iino Miko had also told Ishigami Yu about this. It seems that Iino Miko should be the other of Ishigami Yu's only two friends.
At this point, Ye Shanming was already planning to accept the commission. He had no intention of giving up this magic stone anyway, and since Ogino Hikaru had cheated on his wife, he had no psychological barriers.
He stretched out his hand in front of Ishigami Yu, who was confused. Hayama Akira rubbed his index finger and thumb together, and Ishigami Yu finally understood. He quickly handed the money he had collected to Hayama Akira with both hands.
"I've accepted the commission. Let's add each other as Line friends. Please notify me when Ogino Hikaru leaves school."
Ye Shanming took the money, and Ishigami Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He agreed to all of Ye Shanming's requests, and finally nervously reminded him:
"Senior Hayama, please don't disclose the content and results of the commission. After all, this matter will have a bad impact on Otomo's reputation."
"Okay, I know."
Ye Shanming nodded, waved to Ishigami Yu, and the two parted ways.
On the train on the way back, Akira Hayama took out the reward from Ishigami Yu from his pocket, counted them carefully, and found that there were a total of ten Fukuzawa Yukichi tickets. He felt that Otomo Kyoko was really lucky to have such a thoughtful and sincere friend like Ishigami Yu.
And her relationship with Ogino Hikaru might be the bad luck brought to her after she came into contact with the magic stone.
The next morning, Ye Shanming first went to find Ji Karen and postponed the class time to next week. As for the matter of the magic stone, Ye Shanming did not tell Jia Xi. Given her personality, it would be good if she didn't cause trouble, let alone help.
In the last class in the afternoon, as soon as the bell rang, Ye Shanming picked up his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom. The teachers were not surprised by this.
When he passed by the next class, he didn't see Hayasaka Ai who usually leaned on the corridor playing with her cell phone, but he didn't care about it. The important thing now was to hurry to the junior high school gate.
Fortunately, the junior high school and high school departments are not far from each other, and Ogino Hikaru and Otomo Kyoko are used to lingering in the school for a while. It was not until Hayama Akira took off his extremely conspicuous Shuchiin uniform jacket and wore only the white shirt underneath that Ishigami Yu's message came.
【Ogino Hikaru and Otomo left.】
Ye Shanming folded his coat and put it into his schoolbag, then hid the schoolbag in the flower bed. He sent a message to Ishigami You, asking him to take good care of his schoolbag.
Just at this moment, from a distance, he saw Ogino Hikaru hugging Otomo Kyoko's waist, and the two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards the school gate. Hayama Akira quickly hid at the corner of the fence, and waited until the two of them walked a distance before he hung behind them from a distance.
Although Ye Shanming had not received any training in tracking, the Internet was so comprehensive that he could easily find tracking tutorials. He only needed to read them once to master them with his excellent comprehension ability.
Along the way, Ogino Hikaru didn't notice that someone was following him. He was still talking and laughing with Otomo Kyoko, and there was no sign of the uncomfortable look he had in front of Hayama Akira yesterday.
The two first went to the arcade to play cooperative games and took a photo together. Then they went to a dessert shop to share afternoon tea together, and then went to the shopping street to stroll aimlessly. During the time, they were whispering to each other, just like an ordinary couple in love.
Ye Shanming followed them, drinking a cup of milk tea and holding a cream crepe in his hand. He was also immersed in shopping and enjoying the time, only occasionally looking at the couple in front of him to prevent himself from losing them.
The two seemed to be tired from shopping and finally came to a park and said goodbye to each other. Looking at Kyoko Otomo's bright smile, she probably didn't think that her boyfriend might have cheated on her.
Ye Shanming leaned against the railing, thinking to himself. Wearing only a white shirt, he looked even more casual than in a uniform, and his handsome appearance made passersby take a second look.
After Otomo Kyoko left, Ogino Hikaru made a phone call. About ten minutes later, another young and beautiful female student came to the park and hugged his arm with joy.
Ye Shanming had a blank expression on his face. He raised his cell phone and took a picture of the scene without letting the two protagonists notice.
Then the two of them walked together, and Ye Shanming continued to follow from a distance. As the night deepened, the street lights came on, and the colorful neon lights on the street illuminated the night sky of the city. The office workers who had been tired all day finally had their rest time. Tokyo changed from the youthful vitality during the day to the decadence and debauchery at night.
