Chapter 67: 58. The girl in love with her walks into the activity classroom_2

She slid open the activity room’s sliding door.

"This is," Dubian Che looked at the unfamiliar girl sitting in front of the elm table, "a new member?"

The girl stood up, bowed slightly: "Hello Mr. Dubian, I’m Aoi Ichiki from class 1-3, I have something to ask of the Human Observation Department."

Could someone actually have believed in a flyer that pretty much screamed ’desperate for children’?

"Oh," Dubian Che nodded, "hello."

After the greeting, he walked to the elm table and sat down in his usual spot.

Just as he was about to put on his headphones and practice Spanish listening, he noticed that there was no tea in front of Aoi Ichiki.

He thought for a moment, after all, a guest is a guest, so he stood up and walked over to Jiutiao Meijie’s tea cabinet.

"Is black tea okay?"

"Ah? Hmm, thank you," Aoi Ichiki hurriedly responded.

Dubian Che boiled water and poured a cup for himself and for the other two as well, though Kiyono Lin and Aoi Ichiki used disposable cups.

Helping himself with Jiutiao Meijie’s black tea, he figured he was about to get scolded, and if he used her cups for others, she might just come back to kill him.

Kiyono Lin’s gaze lingered on the white paper cup, her face showing hesitation.

Carrying his cup, Dubian Che gave her a glance through the steam, took a sip, and said while looking down, "Meijie is also a member of the Human Observation Department."

Kiyono Lin nodded with a barely perceptible curvature, lifted the cup and gently sipped, "So, Ichiki, let’s continue where we left off."

"Ah, sure," Aoi Ichiki returned from the enveloping scent of tea, "I’m sorry, where did we stop?"

"Experiences."

"Ah, we’ve been at the same school since elementary school, and of course, the same goes for junior high. I came to Goda for him too."

Elementary school?

Dubian Che glanced at Kiyono Lin, who seemed to share the sentiment, and was looking back at him at the same time.

Both of them probably came to the same conclusion – Ichiki Aoi had liked this person since elementary school and still did.

Kiyono Lin, feeling a bit shy about finding a tacit understanding with someone for the first time, gave him a glare.

"?" Dubian Che was puzzled.

Kiyono Lin held a fist to her lips and coughed lightly: "Ichiki, may I ask you, why do you like him? What are his good qualities?"

Ichiki Aoi answered immediately, "He’s very good-looking."

Dubian Che and Kiyono Lin watched her unmoving.

"Really good-looking!" Ichiki Aoi emphasized.

"Better looking than me?" Dubian Che asked out of curiosity.

He had never seen a man more handsome than himself – not in the past, and certainly not in the future.

Hadn’t Miss Jiutiao "surrendered" to his good looks?

Ichiki Aoi’s reaction was beyond Dubian Che’s expectations. She looked puzzled at his question with an "Eh?" as if it was odd for Dubian Che to ask.

"Please keep it down, Mr. Dubian," Kiyono Lin said indifferently, her face expressionless.

Dubian Che shrugged.

He didn’t care about the answer anyway; no one could possibly be more handsome than he was.

Kiyono Lin shifted her gaze back to Ichiki Aoi: "Any other good qualities?"

No one was prettier than she was, yet she couldn’t get Dubian Che to like her, so looks weren’t the main point.

"He’s really good at musical instruments!"

"Talent?" Kiyono Lin murmured.

Though not a master of all, the talents most people boasted, she excelled at... Not having the opportunity to showcase them? Normally, she only showed Dubian Che her erudite side.

There were lessons to be learned here.

Kiyono Lin nodded, "What else?"

"And, and...He has no friends!"

"Ah?"

Kiyono Lin glanced at a surprised Dubian Che, then asked Ichiki Aoi, "What’s attractive about not having friends?"

"If he has no friends, it means he doesn’t hang out with other girls, so that means..." Ichiki Aoi’s voice trailed off, but the other two understood her point.

Kiyono Lin, having no friends herself, didn’t think this would make Dubian Che like her; on the contrary, it might even be the one point he could tease her about.

"Anything else?"

"Um—" Ichiki Aoi furrowed her brows, "I can’t remember anymore."

"The most important aspect, what would that be? Say, without this, you wouldn’t fall for him."

Ichiki Aoi racked her brain and finally said, "It must be the looks after all! He’s just too handsome!"

Kiyono Lin sighed helplessly.

"What’s the matter? Did I say something wrong?" asked Ichiki Aoi to Dubian Che.

Before Dubian Che could speak, Kiyono Lin said, "I don’t think looks are the key point. Judging by appearance alone without considering behavior can’t reveal a man’s essence. Of course, this is just a difference in the aesthetic appreciation of men between Ichiki and myself."

She went on to explain, "A man should firstly possess above-average intelligence, also be very hardworking, and then have some decent talents... For instance, the full-of-lies man who is sitting there with a ’what you’re describing is me, right?’ look, even I have to admit that he has a bit of handsomeness."

"The epitome of human handsomeness, and just a bit handsome? You sure set high standards," teased Dubian Che.

Kiyono Lin revealed an expression of resignation like that of teaching village kids.

"Mr. Dubian, have your ears suddenly started understanding only Spanish? Didn’t I say I judge whether a person is handsome based on his behavior?"

Dubian Che put his hands near his ears and said in broken Spanish, "¿Qué dices? No lo entiendo." (What did you say? I don’t understand.)

Kiyono Lin turned her face away, her shoulders shook slightly, and very, very faint laughter could be heard.

But when she turned back around, that cold and beautiful face had switched to an indifferent look as if she was watching kindergartners.

Ichiki Aoi looked back and forth between the two, enviously saying, "If only my relationship with Mayi could be as close as Kiyono and Mr. Dubian, then my confession would definitely be successful."

"Close? Ichiki, please mind your words," said Kiyono Lin with a reluctant gaze.

"Wait a second!" Dubian Che said, "Isn’t that the part I should be critiquing? Mayi...sister?"

"Ah, sorry, that... Actually, the one I like is third-year Mayi Asuka. I should refer to her as ’she’. But," Ichiki Aoi squirmed, "I subconsciously think of Mayi as ’he’ in my heart."

"A woman attracted to another woman?" Kiyono Lin massaged her temples, troubled.

Does this have any reference value at all?

"Mayi Asuka?"

"Yes," Ichiki Aoi answered subconsciously.

"Is she into women?" pressed Dubian Che, staring at Ichiki Aoi.

"That, I’m not sure, but Mayi said she prefers the company of girls."

System, are you there? If you’re alive, can you come out and let me beat you up a bit?

Ichiki Aoi looked at Dubian Che whose looks had dropped to an 8 due to his twisted face and asked, "Does Mr. Dubian dislike homosexuals?"

"No, no, no," Dubian Che hastened to wave his hands, "It’s my own issue, it has nothing to do with you or homosexuals. I support all true love, particularly yuri, especially romance between cute girls. Like, if Kiyono and Meiji..."

He stopped speaking at the sharp look from Kiyono Lin.

Although at Goda High School there were many boys who found her cold gaze exciting, they were only a small part, and Dubian Che was certainly not among them.

He just felt the temperature in the club room drop a little.

Kiyono Lin withdrew her ’Rapid Freeze Light’ and said to the somewhat lost Ichiki Aoi, "Since Mayi prefers girls, that makes things easier."

"Do you have a plan?" Ichiki Aoi asked with surprise.

"Although it’s entirely not for reference, I might as well ask, as the only male here, Mr. Dubian, what kind of girl do you like?" said Kiyono Lin.

"Jiutiao Meijie."

Kiyono Lin laughed unkindly, without exposing him.

She said to Ichiki Aoi, "I’m not sure what kind of girl Mayi Asuka likes, but just to be safe, Ichiki, you could learn from me. No one can resist my charm, except for this full-of-lies conman beside me."

"Eh? Kiyono? Um, you..." Ichiki Aoi showed a troubled expression.

"Hmm?"

Faced with Kiyono Lin’s puzzled gaze, Ichiki Aoi looked to Dubian Che.

’Hey hey, are you dumping the awkward stuff onto me? Do you think Kiyono Lin would let me off the hook?’

Kiyono Lin sat rigidly with not a single gap between her legs, her back straight, staring at Dubian Che, "I hate liars most of all, so if you have any opinions, just speak frankly."

"You won’t get mad?"

"Of course not."

"Alright then, I won’t hold back."

"Firstly, your chest is as flat as the Kantou plains; secondly, you don’t joke around and dislike when others do; thirdly, you have high standards for others; fourthly, you will always expose someone’s lies to their face, whether they meant well or not... In short, Kiyono, apart from relying on your natural beauty and intelligence to attract people, you have nothing to offer and certainly can’t serve as a popular female archetype."

"Starting next week, every member of the Human Observation Department, no, you, Mr. Dubian Che, must attend the activity room daily."

"You said you wouldn’t get mad!"

"I’m not mad, I’m just being petulant," said Kiyono Lin with a benevolent expression, her smile devoid of warmth.

"..." Dubian Che.
