2. Human Observation Department
[Character: Ayumu Kobayashi]
【Charm: 5】
【pass】
As expected of a realistic game, appearance is very important.
Watanabe Toru put away the panel and walked to the display window under the club building.
"On April 25th, Friday, the Musical Instruments Department will perform in the auditorium. All teachers and students are welcome to attend!!!"
“The photography department is in urgent need of models, free photography!!!”
"The Ministry of Literature and Art is calling for articles!!! You can send them directly to the Ministry of Literature and Art, or submit via email. Email: ******"
Watanabe Toru skipped the flyers for these events and looked for which clubs were still recruiting.
"Spread your youth and strengthen your body. The Track and Field Department welcomes you to join us!"
"The football department is waiting for you!!! Let me tell you quietly: there is a lovely female manager!!!"
"The music department is short of two tuba players. Boys are given priority. No musical instrument experience is required! Our club's goal is the Tokyo Competition. If you are just dawdling, please don't waste your time!"
Judging from the information on this window, the instrumental club is 100% an inspirational and passionate high school student club.
It's four o'clock in the morning in Tokyo, practicing alone under the sunset, tears of joy or regret or remorse on the field... Toru Watanabe has already seen their future.
It sounds like this is what youth should be like.
It's a pity that although Toru Watanabe was born in a rural area, he has no strength at all. Even if he can endure the heavyness of the instrument, whether he can play a piece of music completely, no, whether he can make a sound is still a problem.
He won't hold back any more.
"Human Observation Department, hiring.
Activity content: Observing humans;
Activity time: every moment;
Requirements for members: those who are quiet, not keen on communicating, and have the habit of leaving early will be given priority."
Although I have never read the student handbook issued by the school and am not clear about the relevant provisions of Chapter 3 of Part 5 of the handbook regarding the creation of clubs, Toru Watanabe can guarantee that this Human Observation Club is definitely not in line with any campus spirit.
Could it be a fan club?
The association refers to a "non-governmental organization" that although it has mobile classrooms, it does not meet the requirements for establishing a club and does not have funding from the student union. It relies on love to generate electricity.
Anyway, go take a look first, you can't do anything by relying on your own imagination.
When Toru Watanabe turned around, he glanced at it and memorized the floor address of the Human Observation Department.
At noon, there were very few people in the club building, but when passing by the third floor, I heard the sound of fighting coming from a classroom at the top of the stairs.
On the fifth floor of the club building, in the corner, is the activity classroom of the Human Observation Department.
Watanabe Toru knocked on the door three times. Someone inside said please come in, so he opened the door and went in.
The classroom is very spacious, but the space left for people to move around is very narrow - it is surrounded by boxes, spare tables and chairs, cabinets, and even a faded globe.
A long table was placed in the remaining space. In order to save space as much as possible, one end of the long table was pressed against the wall.
A girl was sitting at the long table near the window, immersed in writing something. In her hand, there was a lunch box that she had packed after finishing her meal.
"Human Observation Department?" Toru Watanabe asked.
"Yes." The girl continued to write with her head down.
"Fan club? Formal society?"
"Society."
"Can I leave early?"
"Can."
"Can I join now?"
The other party raised his head, and at this time, the two people who had been talking finally saw each other's appearance clearly.
The girl was wearing a white shirt and a spring beige sweater. The bow at the neck was not as loose as other girls and was tied very neatly.
Her face was as beautiful as the cherry blossoms blown in by the wind beside the white screen window, and her shoulder-length hair was so shiny that it reminded Toru Watanabe of the broken 0.5mm pen refill in math class.
The waist is slender and the chest is small.
Almost subconsciously, Toru Watanabe used the [Detector].
[Character: Rin Kiyono]
[Age: 15 years old]
[Intelligence: 8]
【Charm:9】
[Stamina: 3]
[Information: I am observing various human beings, but I am not very interested in this matter. I just don’t have anything I like to do. I hate people who lie and people who talk too much.]
[No relationship record, can be used as a guide]
Watanabe Toru was a little surprised.
Although his charm is only eight points, not counting the one on TV, he has yet to meet a man who is more handsome than him in real life - it has to do with the fact that his circle is small.
This girl named Qing Ye Rin actually has a beauty that is close to the limit that humans can reach.
"This is the first time I have seen a boy in this school who dares to stare at me like this." Qingye Rin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, without the slightest smile, only contempt and ridicule.
Even so, her cherry-colored lips still make people feel comfortable.
"Sorry." Toru Watanabe looked across the [panel] and looked at the other person squarely.
With the mentality of saying something nice if you want someone to ask for something, he continued: "This is the first time I have seen such a good-looking person like Qingye-san, and I accidentally fell in love with him."
After hearing this, Qingye Rin put his hand on his chin and began to think deeply.
Watanabe Toru put the excuse of 'You are so beautiful, I heard your name from a friend' to his lips, and then thought about whether to go to the library to sleep later or just go straight to the club since he settled the club affairs so quickly.
Go to Mr. Koizumi and report that you have joined the club.
"Do you like men?"
"What...what did you say?" Toru Watanabe changed his words in time and looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.
Have you met a fujoshi?
The so-called human observation department actually analyzes the boys in the school, mentally matches them up, and then observes them while gaining psychological self-satisfaction?
Rin Kiyono ignored Toru Watanabe's expression and said in a serious tone: "Answer me."
"I don't like it," Toru Watanabe said.
The girl fell into deep thought again, and this time it took much longer than before. Although everything will be fine next, Toru Watanabe did not intend to waste time waiting.
He said: "If I am sure I can leave early, I would like to join the club now."
As for whether the Human Observation Department is a concentration camp for fujoshi and who is paired with whom, it has nothing to do with him. He has to leave early anyway and join the club in name only.
"Okay." Qingye Rin raised his little face that had returned to normal and nodded: "Although you are a man who likes to lie, you have the value of being observed. You are temporarily allowed to join. This is the application form for joining the group."
"I really don't like men." This is the only thing Toru Watanabe hopes everyone can remember.
Rin Kiyono lost interest in Toru Watanabe, picked up the pen and started writing again: "You can leave early, but you must participate in club activities. Also, come to the club every Friday. Don't worry, it won't take up too long."
"social activity?"
"I am currently submitting my manuscript to the Literature and Art Department, and the time will be before school is over this Friday."
"What does this have to do with human observation? Also, I'm not good at writing articles."
Qingye Rin didn't even raise his head and said coldly: "If you're not good at writing, just write an application for withdrawal from the company."
I haven't joined the company yet... Toru Watanabe looked at the blank application form in his hand.
Forget it, it doesn’t say that the submission must be accepted. You can just take the time to write. It is much better than joining other societies and wasting two precious hours.
After Toru Watanabe filled out the application form, he looked up and saw Rin Kiyono still writing seriously, so he left it on the desk and left the mobile classroom.
He went straight to the library without sleeping.
"Excuse me, are there any publications from previous years of the literary club here?" Toru Watanabe asked in a low voice to the library committee member who was on duty today.
"Wait a minute, let me check it for you."
"Thanks."
After a while, the library committee member looked away from the computer: "Area D, at the bottom of the second row of bookshelves from the left."
Watanabe Toru thanked him again.
There are quite a few journals, and it seems that there is a historical tradition of publishing one every year, probably.
Watanabe Toru flipped through it casually and found an article about a sophomore in high school observing new students, then clarified its overall structure, and then copied it and wrote an article about a new student observing an old student.
It was definitely not possible to submit it like this. He just glanced at the call for papers from the literary and art society and asked for a large number of words.
I have to fill the text with some gorgeous and profound vocabulary, and write two haiku sentences about imagining the future and remembering the past.
After sorting out his thoughts in his mind, Toru Watanabe gradually became sleepy. He looked back at the ancient clock on the wall of the library. It was still half an hour before the first class in the afternoon. He pushed the magazine aside and fell asleep on the table.
Take a nap.
As for whether the submission will be accepted or published in the magazine, he has no hope and does not care about it.
Chapter completed!
