Chapter 36 Tsukamoto Sumi
"Hey! Those two people over there, what are you doing? Don't disturb the training of other departments."
A rather stern female voice sounded from behind. Yuanzi and Xiaolan froze, and turned around in tacit agreement.
"Simi Masai!" Yuanzi and Xiaolan apologized decisively.
But after Xiaolan raised her head and saw the person clearly, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Sister Shumei?"
"Hey, Xiaolan? It's you."
Tsukamoto Sumi paused slightly, and her expression softened. She thought that some nymphomaniac high school girl came over to peek at the kendo club's practice and affected other people's training.
She still knows Xiaolan's character very well and would not do such a dishonorable thing.
"Why are you here? Is there someone familiar in the kendo club?"
"Oh, indeed, it is indeed true. I'm sorry, senior sister you misunderstood."
Tsukamoto Sumi shook her head, obviously not taking this to heart, "It doesn't matter. If you are a friend, it is completely understandable to want to cheer up at this time."
"Hey, is it true!?" Sonoko said in surprise, and then, under Tsukamoto Sumi's confused and solemn eyes, she slowly withered.
Some people just talk about it, and some people really take it seriously.
"Speaking of which, Miss Shumei, what are you doing here?"
As Xiaolan asked, she gently pulled Sonoko's arm to bring her closer to her, which was also a message to Tsukamoto Sumi.
Tsukamoto Sumi didn't look at the garden anymore. She just turned to look outside the gymnasium and said calmly: "Recently, the president of the Student Association asked me to help coordinate and manage several club departments here."
"Hey, Miss Mei, you're not——."
Xiaolan subconsciously wanted to ask, because after Tsukamoto Sumi planned to prepare for the exam seriously, she had already applied to withdraw from the student union, and even her favorite karate club had not been active for a long time.
How come I have time to suddenly take on this time-consuming and laborious task?
But even though Xiaolan didn't finish her words, Tsukamoto Sumi understood her doubts.
Looking at herself, the most promising junior in the karate club, after thinking about it, she explained one more thing.
"Actually, I happened to be planning to take this opportunity to investigate some things."
"investigation?"
Xiaolan was still a little confused, while Yuanzi's thoughts were spinning on the side, and he suddenly remembered something that had been widely circulated recently.
"Sister Shumei, are you talking about that supernatural incident?!"
"Eh?! Is it that one?!" Xiaolan obviously knew.
"That's not a supernatural incident!" Tsukamoto said with raised eyebrows and a very firm tone of voice.
Xiaolan and Yuanzi immediately covered their mouths in embarrassment.
However, Tsukamoto Sumi was not actually mean to her and Sonoko, and even her expression was normal.
Xiaolan understands this quite well. This is the character and style of the senior, very heroic, or in other words, this is the majesty of the real senior.
"Sorry, I lost my temper. However, I want to say that since we are all high school students, we should stop spreading those scary rumors and stories that are popular in elementary schools."
"Hi Yi!"
"Huh? Xiaolan, Yuanzi, why are you here?"
On one side, Xiaolan and Sonoko looked like they were being criticized and taught a lesson. On the other side, Koji Shimizu, who had changed back to his Teidan school uniform, opened the door curtain and walked out of the Kendo club.
"Shimizu-kun."
"Koji."
Xiaolan and Sonoko turned around, a little surprised, while Tsukamoto Sumimi frowned at first when she saw this situation, and then relaxed immediately.
It turned out that the person they knew was this junior Qingshui.
"Tsukamoto-senpai."
"Shimizu-kun."
After greeting each other one by one, the four of them found that they actually knew each other.
Qingmizu Koji was a little surprised to see these three people gathered here when he came out, but soon, he roughly understood what was going on.
The place where the few people chatted was also changed from the entrance of the kendo department to outside the stadium, and they didn't meet anyone else.
——
"So there are still such rumors recently?"
This was the first time Qingmizu Koji knew about this.
He really doesn't have many friends, because he had a cold temperament at the beginning, which made him offend everyone. Now the people who want to be friends with him are all girls, but he doesn't intend to be that kind of friend with them.
Xiaolan and Sonoko just nodded when they heard this. They were not surprised by this situation. Tsukamoto Sumi looked at Shimizu Koji more.
The two of them had just met recently. Shimizu Koji's words made her immediately feel that this kendo genius was a junior with excellent character.
It is said that he has no ears to hear what is going on outside the window and only focuses on kendo and books. This is definitely a rare character among male high school students.
"Well, there is a high probability that someone is up to something. I will investigate this matter soon."
"Now, Qingshui-kun, Xiaolan, and this classmate Sonoko, please go home as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Qingmizu Koji glanced at the sky that was gradually turning dusk, nodded, and prepared to leave.
But neither Ran nor Sonoko were unmoved by Tsukamoto Sumi's words. Instead, they each had their own plans.
Xiaolan's eyes changed, hesitating, and finally looked firmly at Tsukamoto Sumei: "Sister Sumei, let us help you investigate together!"
"Huh? Why?"
Tsukamoto was puzzled, but did not refuse directly.
"Senior, you rarely even participate in karate activities now. I don't want you to waste your precious learning time because of these things."
Looking at this second-year junior girl with a firm look, who was only in the same club with her and had sparred with her several times, Tsukamoto Sumi was slightly moved.
"Yes, yes!" Sonoko echoed, and then immediately turned to look at Shimizu Koji.
She moved closer to Shimizu Koji, and the voice of her words could only be heard by the two of them.
"Koji-kun, can you please come and help us investigate! We, a few weak girls, always feel a little unsafe when doing this kind of thing. You are so strong in kendo, and if you are here, we can also feel at ease."
Sonoko subconsciously called Shimizu Koji's name before, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she now said it smoothly.
And Sonoko's request seemed a little abrupt, but it was actually nothing. Putting aside Shimizu Koji himself, it was just a normal request for help from a male classmate.
Besides, Sonoko's reason was also very sufficient. Even if it was not a supernatural event, but someone was playing tricks, it was indeed a little unsafe for the three weak high school girls to do this kind of thing.
Of course, Shimizu Koji would consider Sonoko's request.
Turning his head, he saw that Xiaolan had reached a consensus with Tsukamoto Kazumi, and the aura of the strong female senior sister had softened a lot at this moment. Shimizu Koji didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement.
"Shimizu-kun, are you coming too?!" Xiaolan was a little surprised.
"Well, senior sister, don't mind, do you?"
"No mind."
Tsukamoto Kazumi had a good impression of Shimizu Koji, and since she was Xiaolan's friend, she naturally agreed directly.
