Chapter 53: Anime Begins (3000-Word Big Chapter)

Kamikawa Mitsu was somewhat surprised.

Just now, in the class group chat, the class "know-it-all" Yamada Ono tagged everyone.

He said his father, who is a teacher, had revealed that someone was transferring in this evening to join their class; rumor had it this person was from a prestigious noble family, from the Great Shrine lineage, and whether male or female was unclear.

The news was absolutely unprecedented.

One must know, the Arakawa District is a slum area; people living there are rarely wealthy, and even if they are, they would not let their children attend school in the Arakawa District, but would definitely send them to schools in better districts.

The high school where Kamikawa Mitsu studies is located in the Arakawa District; one can imagine the quality of the school, no matter how good, it is still just a school in the Arakawa District.

Children of prestigious noble families would absolutely never come here to study.

Now that a child of a prestigious noble family is transferring in, and one from the Great Shrine lineage at that, it is truly causing a sensation.

In the past, no children of prestigious noble families had ever come; now one arrives, and it is a top-tier noble family from the upper class; just thinking about it makes one curious, inexplicably excited, and gossip burns like fire.

【You guys say, why would a child of a prestigious noble family transfer here? Our school isn't some good school.】

【Do you even need to think? Rich people coming to the countryside to experience poor life, that's all.】

【God!! Please, let it be a girl, preferably a big-chested girl!】

【You pervert!】

The students chatted heatedly, one speaking after another.

They discussed whether the transfer student was male or female, which prestigious noble family they were from, whether they were handsome or beautiful.

Some infatuated boys and girls even said they would dress up to welcome the transfer student; if they happened to catch their eye and end up together, their future would be full of happiness and brightness.

At this moment.

【Actually, I think differently from you guys; I think the transfer student coming to our school might not be for the sake of our school.】

This message was sent by Yamada Ono.

As the class know-it-all, the clever-minded Yamada Ono spoke, and immediately attracted the class's attention.

【You only noticed the transfer student is from a prestigious noble family, but didn't notice the transfer student has another identity: from the Great Shrine lineage.

The Yunhu incident just happened in our Arakawa District; everyone knows demons exist.

Now a shrine priest has arrived; don't you think that is very coincidental?

Don't forget, since ancient times, when mentioning demons, one often mentions shrine priests, miko, and such people.】

One stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The students were repeatedly surprised, understanding the meaning behind what Yamada Ono said.

【The transfer student is here for the demons?】

【Damn, so there really are demons in the world; there must also be supernatural shrine priests and onmyoji.】

【I get it, I get it; Yamada is right; it must be that the demon incident at Yunhu caused too much commotion, attracting the attention of shrines and temples, so they sent a shrine priest to suppress it; to avoid drawing attention, they specifically invited a young shrine priest to transfer in as a student; heavens, this idea is brilliant.】

The class group chat instantly became lively; Kamikawa Mitsu paid no attention and simply stood up.

"Nii-san, aren't you going to look at your class group chat?"

Just because Kamikawa Mitsu had no interest in looking didn't mean Kamikawa Chie had no interest; as everyone knows, girls have two main hobbies: shopping and gossip; Kamikawa Mitsu's class chat fit the gossip category perfectly, especially since it involved the hottest topic, Yunhu.

"I'm not looking anymore; I'm going to do my homework. Chie, if you want to look, go ahead and look."

Throwing the phone to Kamikawa Chie, Kamikawa Mitsu didn't forget to remind her.

"Remember not to look too late; don't let it delay your homework."

"Okay~" Kamikawa Chie responded in a soft, sweet voice.

Time passed slowly.

Kamikawa Chie watched Kamikawa Mitsu's classmates chat, moving from the transfer student to the transfer student's Great Shrine lineage, then from the Great Shrine lineage to shrine priests and miko; some even began explaining knowledge and stories about miko and shrine priests.

She pondered.

It seems highly likely the transfer student Nii-san is talking about is a girl; a noble family's female shrine priest...

She couldn't help but think of her recent conversation with Kamikawa Mitsu about "Inuyasha and Kikyo."

Immediately, she thought inexplicably.

Nii-san is a demon, I am a miko, and then one of Nii-san's classmates is a shrine girl.

Ah!!! Have I gathered all the male and female leads of Inuyasha? Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kikyo are all here.

Immediately after, Kamikawa Chie furrowed her eyebrows.

Hmm~ Then between me and the female shrine priest, who is Kikyo and who is Kagome?

Let me think; I remember Kagome ended up with Inuyasha in the end...

Then there's no need to think; the female shrine priest must be Kikyo, and I am Kagome.

Her furrowed eyebrows smoothed out; Kamikawa Chie hummed a tune and walked with happy little steps toward her room to do her homework.

Fortunately, Kamikawa Mitsu didn't know Kamikawa Chie's thoughts; otherwise, he would definitely have complained.

Chie, you seem to have forgotten; Kikyo and Kagome are indeed two different people, but they are past and present lives; theoretically, both are with Inuyasha.

Kamikawa Mitsu returned to his room, opened the system script panel, and began making a video.

"System, you truly did not disappoint me."

Looking at a video clip on the screen before him, whose content had absolutely nothing to do with Yunhu yet appeared in the video production process, Kamikawa Mitsu had made a guess.

Video production is actually not just editing videos; one can also add other materials.

Just like those anime video UP owners, they always add other materials.

For this video production, Kamikawa Mitsu wanted to add other video materials; as soon as the thought occurred in his mind, the video production space provided the materials, which was very convenient.

"I'll just treat it as a video easter egg."

Kamikawa Mitsu showed a smile.

Releasing this video easter egg will at least double the heat, and certain people will definitely have a major headache.

His smile, paired with the video content playing before him and the dim video space, with the screen's glow casting on his face, was half-shadowed and half-lit, like the smile of a villain.

The next day.

Japan, Arakawa Ward, Arakawa First High School, Grade 1, Class A.

The class bell rang.

The teacher walked into the classroom.

"Classmates, before today's class, I will introduce someone to you."

After the teacher finished speaking, he turned his gaze toward the classroom door.

The classroom door opened, and under the expectant gazes of all the students, a stunning figure walked in.

Her face was exquisite as a painting; as she walked, her waist-length hair cascaded down like a waterfall, swaying slightly. The wind from the window blew, lifting her black hair, making her even more beautiful, as if a flower spirit had stepped into reality.

Once she stood on the teacher's platform, the lively, elf-like style shifted; she just stood there, holding her schoolbag with both hands. Though she wore a school uniform, she made it look beautiful and elegant, like wearing a kimono, so captivating that one couldn't take their eyes off her.

What is nobility without losing approachability, and liveliness without losing propriety? The girl before us is exactly that!

At this moment.

Not only did the boys stare straight, but the girls did too.

She's too beautiful; are you sure she isn't some young star?

The moment they saw her, everyone almost couldn't help but let out an "Oh-hu~," the kind of involuntary sound only found in anime when seeing a beauty.

"Hello everyone, my name is Omikawa Xia Mei. I am very happy to come to this new class and get to know you all. I hope we can be friends in the future; please take care of me!"

After Omikawa Xia Mei finished speaking, she bowed very politely.

Instantly, thunderous applause erupted throughout the class, especially from the boys, who clapped so enthusiastically their palms turned red.

Undoubtedly, Omikawa Xia Mei will become the class beauty, and even the school beauty, with no one able to challenge her.

"Student Omikawa, please take the empty seat next to Student Kamikawa Mitsu. If you are dissatisfied with anything, you can tell the teacher." The teacher was teaching a prestigious family for the first time, so his tone toward her was not as strict as toward other students; it was very light and soft, afraid of not serving her properly.

This wasn't him being a snob; mainly, the Omikawa family had just donated a large sum of money to the school, a huge donation.

Afterwards, amidst the envious, jealous, and hateful gazes everyone directed at Kamikawa Mitsu, Omikawa Xia Mei came to the only empty seat in the class, which was the seat next to Kamikawa Mitsu, and sat down.

"Sigh, this is troublesome."

Kamikawa Mitsu frowned slightly; he felt speechless about the attention he was receiving indirectly caused by Omikawa Xia Mei. He just wanted to live his high school life quietly; why was it so difficult?

But no one else was to blame; after all, in the entire class, only the seat next to him was empty.

He turned his head away, not wanting any entanglement with Omikawa Xia Mei.

With a destined heroine comparable to those in manga, and this kind of anime-style male-female seating arrangement starting out, Kamikawa Mitsu didn't want excessive interaction, because once they interacted, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.

After all, being this beautiful, there would be many people chasing her and many people jealous of her.

Perhaps fearing trouble invites it; just as Kamikawa Mitsu was about to turn his head away, a voice as pleasant and melodious as a oriole came from beside him.

"Hello, my name is Omikawa Xia Mei."

Omikawa Xia Mei, from a prestigious family, had received a good education; adhering to politeness, she was the first to greet the classmate sitting closest to her, Kamikawa Mitsu.

"Hello, my name is Kamikawa Mitsu."

Being afraid of trouble didn't mean Kamikawa Mitsu was cold or impolite; he understood the proper etiquette that should be shown.

He responded politely.

"I know your name is Kamikawa Mitsu; I've read the reports on the NH137 incident."

Omikawa Xia Mei smiled; her demeanor was that of a well-bred young lady, dignified yet with a touch of liveliness, fresh and refined.

Their conversation was naturally noticed by the entire class, who were focused on Omikawa Xia Mei; in an instant, various FFF Group gazes were cast upon Kamikawa Mitsu.

Kamikawa Mitsu nodded, preparing to respond.

"Classmates, let's begin class; please open your textbooks to page 139..."

After the teacher spoke, Kamikawa Mitsu and Omikawa Xia Mei stopped their conversation.

Kamikawa Mitsu did not know that the reason Omikawa Xia Mei would come to this school and this class, rather than other schools in Arakawa Ward, was because of Kamikawa Mitsu.

Because after Omikawa Kenji investigated, there were very few talented schools in Arakawa Ward; the only one that caught his attention was Kamikawa Mitsu. In his opinion, since Kamikawa Mitsu was so talented, it meant the school's education was quite good, so he chose this school and class for Omikawa Xia Mei.

No matter what, his granddaughter's high school education could not be neglected; even if it meant going to Arakawa Ward, he had to choose the best.

And when Omikawa Xia Mei learned about the school her grandfather chose, she felt no aversion or refusal, because she had no aversion to Kamikawa Mitsu; on the contrary, she admired him greatly, and even before this, she had been full of curiosity about Kamikawa Mitsu.

As for the reason, it was because after she learned about the NH137 incident, her first impression of Kamikawa Mitsu was that he was not simple; perhaps he was a supernatural being.

In her eyes, the NH137 incident was a certain-death situation, yet Kamikawa Mitsu managed to turn it around; truly magical.

She always believed deeply in Shinto, demons, and such; she thought that perhaps Kamikawa Mitsu was a hidden master of Shinto or Onmyodo, and he used his Shinto or Onmyodo powers to save everyone.

Therefore, she was full of curiosity about Kamikawa Mitsu, but after the NH137 video was released, she abandoned this thought; however, that didn't stop her from admiring Kamikawa Mitsu.
