"Hello, is this Kiritani Tetsuya?"

While Kiritani Tetsuya and Ibuki Tamao were talking, a boy wearing a student uniform walked over to where Kiritani Tetsuya was.

"Well, I am."

Seeing someone approaching, Kiritani Tetsuya immediately withdrew his gaze from Ibuki Tamao, turned to the side of the aisle and responded.

"It's like this. The teacher asked me to inform you that after President Hoshino finishes speaking, it will be your turn to go up, so that you can prepare well first."

After receiving Kiritani Tetsuya's reply, the boy who came over said immediately.

"Okay, I know."

In response, Kiritani Tetsuya nodded.

Watching the boy who had delivered the message leave quickly, Tetsuya Kiritani looked up at Hoshino Aihime, who was still speaking on the stage, and then looked down at the speech he just took out of his pocket.

After roughly scanning through what he wrote last night, Kiritani Tetsuya estimated that the time was almost up.

Then Kiritani Tetsuya took a deep breath, stuffed the speech he was holding in his hand back into his pocket, then stood up from his seat, and walked towards the aisle leading to the stage while most people in the auditorium were still looking at the center of the stage.

.

At this time, Kiritani Tetsuya could already hear the students or teachers near the stage calling his name in a low voice.

Walking up the steps on one side, Kiritani Tetsuya happened to meet Hoshino Aihime who was just about to walk down, and their eyes briefly came into contact at this moment.

Under such close observation, Hoshino Aihime's supreme beauty and irresistible charm were further amplified, making Kiritani Tetsuya temporarily reluctant to believe that the girl in front of him was the same as the girl who threatened him on the school playground before.

the same person.

But this sharp contrast also forced him to admit that, as Ibuki Tamao introduced, this divine girl did have the strange ability to transform into any appearance.

However, when Kiritani Tetsuya was sighing at the girl's appearance and special abilities, Hoshino Aihime, who also turned her head, glared at him at this moment, her bright beautiful eyes lacking any of the calmness and composure she had on the stage before.

.

Of course, such an emotion only lasted for less than a second. The girl returned to her original appearance, then withdrew her gaze, pretended that nothing happened and walked off the stage, walking back with steady steps.

Arrive at your seat.

"It seems that he is really disliked."

Regarding Hoshino Aiki's unprepared glare just now, Kiritani Tetsuya smiled bitterly in his heart.

Fortunately, this divine girl did not use the divine gaze that she had learned from Utsunomiya Miu before, but simply glared at him.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Tetsuya Kiritani to ensure that he could maintain a calm mind and his legs would not tremble when giving a speech on behalf of the upcoming exchange students.

Thinking of this, Kiritani Tetsuya's mood suddenly recovered a little, and then he put the extremely short episode behind his mind, continued to take steps that paused for a moment, and walked to Hoshino Aihime under the gaze of everyone.

The position where I just spoke not long ago.

Skillfully adjusting the height of the microphone in front of him, Kiritani Tetsuya cleared his throat a little, and then began to speak according to the content of the speech he was already familiar with.

During the speech, Kiritani Tetsuya looked from time to time at the crowd below, especially at the front row of the seating area.

There, Hoshino Aihime sat upright on a folding chair, her clear eyes watching herself speaking on the stage.

Of course, the girl's eyes looking at him now have long returned to their usual indifference, without any personal emotions, as if they were looking at a stranger they met for the first time.

Seeing Hoshino Aihime's neither happy nor angry expression, Kiritani Tetsuya further confirmed that the episode a few minutes ago was indeed caused by the girl's inability to hold back her inner emotions.

After all, in Hoshino Aihime's view, it was the first time he and she met, so there was no reason to react like that on the steps.

Although the two met and communicated briefly at Akiba High School last semester, the person Kiritani Tetsuya communicated with at that time was Hoshino Aihime who had transformed into someone else's appearance, not Hoshino Aihime's true appearance.

If he hadn't known in advance that the girl had this special ability to change her appearance, Kiritani Tetsuya would never have connected the two people.

As for Hoshino Aihime, she obviously doesn't want to expose her special abilities or even her identity as a god to everyone, so she can only pretend that she has no interaction with Kiritani Tetsuya, otherwise the reason will be unknown to the girl.

It becomes difficult to explain.

Although Hoshino Aihime didn't know it at this time, Kiritani Tetsuya not only knew her identity as a god, but also knew that this godly girl was eager to beat herself up and vent the resentment accumulated in the past few days.

"If I didn't know these things, or even the existence of gods in this world, would I be excited because I was "treated differently" by Hoshino Aiki on the steps just now?"

Kiritani Tetsuya didn't know why he suddenly thought about this issue.

For some people, even being glared at by a beautiful girl is quite enjoyable, provided that the beautiful girl does not hold a hatchet that emits a cold light in her hand.

When he thought this, Kiritani Tetsuya almost finished his speech.

After making a simple speech, Kiritani Tetsuya immediately walked off the stage and returned to his seat.

At this time, the opening ceremony was almost coming to an end.

...

Ten minutes later.

Under the greeting and guidance of the teacher and several senior students, the students who participated in the opening ceremony left the auditorium in an orderly manner.

Kiritani Tetsuya and others were following several members of the student council, preparing to go from here to the classes they were about to join this semester.

Just when he passed the door of the auditorium, the mobile phone in Ibuki Tamao's pocket suddenly rang.

The girl took out her phone and took a look at it, then turned her attention to Tetsuya Kiritani who was walking in front of her.

"Sister Aiji is looking for me, I'll go over first."

Ibuki Tamao said calmly.

"Okay, if anything happens then, please contact me via line."

Kiritani Tetsuya shrugged and replied, obviously not surprised by such a thing.

"Uh-huh."

After Ibuki Tamao nodded, he immediately stopped and started walking in the opposite direction, quickly disappearing among the nearby crowd.

In this way, Kiritani Tetsuya followed the remaining people to the school building where the first grade classroom was located.

After a while, Kiritani Tetsuya arrived in front of the classroom of Grade 11.
