Leaving the tea room, Shirayuki began to observe the crowd. She greeted the unfamiliar students, who responded with confusion.
Looking at the numbers beside them, they were generally around fifty, which meant "stranger."
Oh well, there's no point in talking to these people. She needed to do something practical.
She ran to a classroom filled with a fragrant aroma and found Special Week, who had just ordered fried rice.
"Spe-chan!"
"Shirayuki, what's wrong?" she asked blankly, eating her rice.
"I just wanted to see how high your affection for me is."
She looked at the number on the glasses.
Affection: 83
"Whoa~ Spe-chan, we're close friends!"
Hearing this, Special Week's ears perked up, and then she smiled. "That's right, Shirayuki! We're close friends. What's up? Are you here to eat too?"
"I still have things to do. Maybe later. I'll find you for dinner tonight." With that, she ran off, leaving Special Week to silently stuff rice into her mouth.
Shirayuki's in such a hurry.
By the way, why is she wearing such big glasses?
She went around greeting her classmates.
"McQueen-san."
"Oh my, Shirayuki. What's with the getup?"
Affection: 79
"Sky-chan."
"My, my~"
Affection: 75
"Opera O-san!"
"Yo~ White Wolf."
Affection: 81
It seemed this thing was somewhat accurate. Special Week would come to chat with her almost every day after class, and they would occasionally hang out after school. It was no exaggeration to call them close friends. Her relationship with the others was also quite good. As for Opera O, they had a connection from the racetrack, so her affection might be a bit higher.
So, who to ask next?
It would be best to find someone she was familiar with. Based on their usual attitude, she could estimate how accurate the glasses were.
As she was running around, she happened to glimpse a petite figure wearing a blue-purple top hat.
"Rice Shower," she called out, and then quickly walked over.
Hearing her name, Rice Shower, who had been overly excited, showed a hint of disappointment in her eyes when she saw the white-haired figure.
"What's wrong? Are you alone?"
"I just parted with Urara-san. I'm looking for Onii-sama."
Shirayuki looked at the number on the glasses.
Affection: 68
So low...
Well, it wasn't that low, but compared to Special Week and the others, it was quite low. Even lower than Tachyon's.
Strange, is my relationship with her that bad? I don't think I've done anything to make her dislike me...
"Chiya is over on the third floor."
"Eh?"
Hearing this, Rice Shower was taken aback. Then, she saw the affection level drop to 47.
This thing can go down?!
No, I just said I was on the third floor. How did that lower her affection? Is this thing bugged?
"Could it be, Shirayuki-san, that you were just with Onii-sama...?" she asked softly.
"No, I just came from the classroom and saw him on the way."
"I see." Hearing this, she breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the affection level slowly rose back up, finally settling at 63.
Is this thing really accurate? The evaluation criteria are so strange.
She was full of questions.
"I see. Then I'll go find Onii-sama now."
"Wait a minute," she called out, stopping her. "Give these glasses to him too."
Rice Shower looked at the thick glasses she handed her.
"Is Onii-sama nearsighted?"
"No, it's just a decorative accessory."
She suspected that this thing judged different people differently. It would be better to have Chiya test it.
The perspective switched back to Chiya. Kiryuuin Aoi was happily eating a candy apple, and Happy Meek was beside her, with takoyaki in one hand and a paddleball in the other.
"It really feels like a festival," Aoi remarked.
"After all, Tracen needs to show its vibrant side to the audience," Chiya said, eating his yakisoba.
He had to admit, the students' cooking skills were all excellent. At least, they were definitely worth the price.
"Chiya, let's go check that out."
Aoi, who hadn't had enough fun, grabbed his hand.
"I have to wait for someone."
"Wait for someone? Who?"
"She'll be here soon."
Soon, a petite figure emerged from the crowd. Seeing him, her eyes lit up and she shouted, "Onii-sama!"
"Rice Shower."
He went to greet her.
"I want to walk around the festival with you, Onii-sama."
"Alright. Come on, I was waiting for you."
"By the way, Shirayuki-san asked me to give this to you," Rice Shower said, opening her small hand to reveal the large glasses she could barely hold.
"Thank you." He patted her head and put on the glasses.
"So you were waiting for Rice Shower. By the way, why are you wearing glasses?"
"They're decorative."
"Decorative?"
They look a bit ridiculous.
"You look good in anything, Onii-sama," Rice Shower said with a smile.
Alright, let's see your affection levels.
With that thought, he looked at Rice Shower.
Affection: 93
So high?!
Didn't she say that over ninety is a lover? Her affection is even higher than ninety, but we're not lovers.
He thought her affection would be in the high eighties at most. He never expected it to be so exaggerated. It was more than double Shirayuki's. Wasn't that a bit much?
He immediately turned his gaze to Kiryuuin Aoi.
Affection: 84
For a friend he hadn't seen in over a year, this affection level was also strangely high. He felt their relationship was only around the seventy mark.
"Meek."
"Yes?" The other girl tilted her head and looked at him.
Affection: 75
Friend level?
He had trained her for a few days. This level of affection should be normal.
I feel like this device's measurements are generally on the high side.
"Onii-sama, let's go."
"Ah, okay."
Taking her hand, they wandered through the festival.
"Chiya, you brat, stay away from me." In the middle of it all, they ran into the miserable inspector, Katsumura Yota. His affection level was 77.
That's a bit of an eyesore.
"Trainer Chiya."
"Trainer Nase, are you here for the festival too?"
"Teio dragged me here," Nase Fumino said, pointing to the brown-haired girl beside her who was shooting at balloons with a bow and arrow.
"Yeah! Bullseye!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"You too?"
"Yes, I'm here with Rice Shower and the others."
Eating cotton candy, Rice Shower leaned happily against him.
Giving her a meaningful look, Nase nodded. At the same time, he saw her affection level: 85.
Again, shockingly high.
"Then I won't disturb you."
"Yes."
She nodded.
She didn't retract her gaze until they had disappeared into the crowd.
"Trainer Chiya." Just as he was getting a little tired and wanted to find a place to rest, a green figure appeared in front of him.
"Miss Hayakawa."
"Why are you wearing glasses?"
"I just wanted to change my image a bit. They're decorative. I'll take them off tomorrow."
"I see. By the way, do you have a moment?"
"Yes."
"Chairwoman Akikawa said she has something to discuss with you."
"Alright, I'll go right now."
"Are you going to work, Onii-sama?" Rice Shower looked at him reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, Rice Shower. Please wait for me for a bit."
"Yes... Rice will be here, waiting for you."
She sat obediently on a chair.
He hurried to the Chairwoman's office, his eyes filled with a look of astonishment.
Just now, if I saw correctly, Hayakawa Tazuna's affection level seemed to be... 96?
