Chapter 53 Thirty-Three Years Ago....
After getting away from the greetings of several people, Uchiha Ling walked towards Shinomiya Kaguya downstairs.
"Hey, Shinomiya. What are you doing here?"
Shinomiya Kaguya glanced at Uchiha Ling and said calmly. "Finish what I promised you at the banquet. Don't you want to investigate the incident thirty-three years ago?"
When he mentioned this, Uchiha Ling also nodded.
"Then take me to the school database, but let me ask, is the information in paper or electronic form?"
Shinomiya Kaguya thought for a while, "They should all be available, it depends on what version you want."
Uchiha Ling took out the USB flash drive from his backpack, "Since there is an electronic version, it's easy. Let me copy it."
.....
After returning to the classroom, Shirogane Miyuki finally got his wish and said hello to Uchiha Ling, which was gratifying.
"Uchiha, you didn't come yesterday, so the bento I prepared for you was all in vain."
At noon, Baiyin Yuxing complained casually, and then took out the second lunch box from the desk.
"So today's bento is a special edition."
Uchiha Ling took the lunch box and before he could open it, he heard the hot girl Hayasaka's voice coming from the door.
"Classmate Ling~ Let's eat together!"
Baiyin Yuxing: "..."
Male classmate A: "What's going on!"
Male classmate B: "Uchiha Ling, you traitor!!"
The boys in the class exploded, but Uchiha Ling walked out gracefully under the hostile eyes.
Uchiha Ling: "Come with me, let's eat somewhere else. And...why do you want to ask me out to eat lunch together, and want to investigate me?"
Hayasaka Ai blinked, "Hey, aren't we friends?"
Uchiha Ling sighed, "So in your setting, Hayasaka, the school's hot girl, will often find boys to go out to eat with?"
"Of course not! My setting in school is that of a hot girl who has never dated a man. This is not a support!"
In the club activity room of the Department of Classical Literature, three girls who were accustomed to eating in the club were sitting there chatting.
At this moment, Uchiha Ling pushed open the door and walked in, followed by a confused Ai Hayasaka.
Shouldn't we go to a secluded place to eat alone? Why bring her to the club activity classroom!
Amakusa Shino noticed the visitor. He glanced at Yukinoshita without any trace at first, and then asked curiously.
"Uchiha? This is...your girlfriend?"
Uchiha Ling pulled up a chair and sat down, "No, she said she wanted to join the club, so I brought her here."
Hayasaka Ai: "???"
I never said that! Who wants to join a club, and why are there all beautiful girls in your club? !
Hayasaka Ai discovered the three girls who looked exactly the same as herself, and suddenly made a decision in her heart that even she felt was strange.
"Yes, Minister, I want to join your club!"
Amakusa Xiao nodded, "Then come over and have dinner together first, and fill out the form later."
As a result, the number of people eating lunch in the club classroom became five.
Yukinoshita Yukino has been silent since Uchiha Ling came in. She hasn't thought about what to say yet, so she just ignores him for now.
The five of them ate their lunches quietly, and Amakusa Shino, who finished first, suddenly felt bored, and then looked at the others.
"Yukishita, your steaks are cut into very small pieces."
Yukino wiped her mouth, "Because my family has taught me since I was a child that I should never grow my mouth when eating, and I was born with a smaller mouth. So I always divide food into small pieces before eating."
Amakusa Shino nodded.
"Well, you'll have a hard time waiting until you find a boyfriend..."
Yukinoshita didn't understand. She just tilted her head and looked at Amakusa Shino, then glanced in the direction of Uchiha Ling. Chitanda, who also didn't understand, ate quietly.
Hayasaka Ai almost choked and drank hurriedly. Uchiha Ling, who was sitting next to her, patted her back.
By the way, he raised his head and glanced at Yukinoshita's small cherry mouth. He suddenly thought that when he fed the other party white rice porridge, a little would always spill out to the corner of his mouth because his mouth was too small.
Amakusa Shino, who couldn't calm down at all, looked at Uchiha Ling again.
"By the way, Uchiha-san is very popular in the first grade. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Uchiha Ling: "No."
Amakusa Shino nodded again.
"Is that so, then it's still the right hand?"
Uchiha Ling put down his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Amakusa, if you feel bored after eating, then go and study the information I copied."
Amakusa Xiao handed over the USB flash drive that she and Shinomiya Kaguya took out from the database in the morning, with a curious look on her face.
"What information?"
"Thirty-three years ago, all the incidents recorded by the school are here. I think the incident about Chitanda-san's uncle will definitely be found in it."
Chitanda Airu looked over excitedly, and then started eating quickly. In the end, as expected, she choked. Uchiha Ling, who was sitting next to her, also patted her on the back.
"Chitanda, the USB flash drive won't run away, even if you look at it after eating."
Hayasaka Ai looked at Chitanda suspiciously, "What exactly are you investigating?"
Uchiha Ling explained.
"It's about Uncle Chitanda. Because Chitanda really wanted to know what her uncle said back then, she asked us to investigate."
"And today, I think the truth of the matter should also come to light."
The second one who finished eating, Yukinoshita packed up her lunch box and came to Amakusa Shino to insert the USB drive into the old computer in the classroom to check.
Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes lit up.
"Eru-san, I seem to have found it!"
Chitanda Eru quickly swallowed the last mouthful of rice, then patted her chest and came to the computer.
——
Thirty-three years ago, the senior management of Shuchiin wanted to shorten the time of the school cultural festival in order to promote that academic studies are more important than extracurricular activities.
Changing the five-day cultural festival set by Shuchiin since its inception to two days will certainly cause dissatisfaction among all students.
The students of Shuchiin are not simple characters. These powerful and background guys began to secretly organize large-scale protests to express their dissatisfaction with the school.
This large-scale protest eventually caused a lot of commotion. The specific content of the protest was not recorded, but the final result achieved by the students was... The duration of the cultural festival was not changed and it was still five days.
At this point, it can be said that it was a victory for the students. But Chitanda's uncle, Jun Sekiya, was expelled from school because he was the leader of this incident.
The story has ended here, but Chitanda's expression seems very calm. She doesn't seem to be satisfied with the results of the investigation.
Because there is another point, what did Chitanda's uncle say to make Chitanda Eru cry?
Uchiha Ling, who finally finished his meal, stood up and brought "Hyouka" to Chitanda Eru.
"In fact, "Hyouka" is just a boring word game..."
