Chapter 367: Animal Language
Communication
"Then hurry up, don't waste everyone's time."
Fugaku yawned and said.
Tomori Nao snorted coldly, glaring at Fugaku with ill intent. This kid was getting too cocky; he had just joined the Student Council and was already planning to challenge her authority as the president!
She rolled her eyes, not flaring up on the spot, but holding back. After all, Fugaku's special ability was very powerful in combat, and his inclusion would solve the Student Council's lack of fighting strength.
"I'll tolerate you for now."
Tomori Nao's face hardened as she looked at Aridou and said, "Let's get straight to the point. We already know about you taking those photos to earn money."
Tomori Nao pulled a stack of photos from her pocket and slammed them in front of the stubborn Aridou, continuing, "If we tell your school teachers about you doing this, what do you think will happen to you? Will you be advised to withdraw, or something more direct, expelled?"
Aridou's face immediately turned extremely ugly, because Tomori Nao's words hit his weak spot.
He didn't want to lose his education; his family's greatest hope was to see him get into a good university and bring honor to them.
If he were expelled, he couldn't even imagine how disappointed his family would be.
"What do you want to do?"
Aridou gritted his teeth.
Tomori Nao said, "As long as you transfer to Hoshinoumi Academy and promise not to use your special ability again, nothing will happen. It will be good for you, good for me, good for everyone."
Aridou closed his eyes. He had no other choice, so he agreed: "Okay, I promise you."
Takajo Jojiro quickly took a stack of documents and a pen from his backpack and placed them in front of Aridou, like a black-hearted businessman kindly tricking someone into signing a shady contract: "Come, sign this."
Once Aridou signed, the matter was basically concluded.
As for the two eyewitness club members, they would be handled by the school.
The incident Fugaku caused earlier was also suppressed by the school.
Next, there was no need to return to school; everyone could go home.
However, Yisaka Yuu, Tomori Nao, and Takajo Jojiro all lived in the school dormitory, so the three of them returned to school together, while Fugaku went home alone.
...
"The ability is, animal communication."
In the Student Council room, after the soaking wet Kumagami left, Yisaka Yuu curiously asked, "Does he always have to be soaking wet like that every time he appears?"
"That's right, that's the activation condition for his ability."
Takajo Jojiro explained to him.
"Oh, I understand."
Yisaka Yuu nodded.
"This animal communication, could it be like that person I saw on TV last night who could talk to animals?"
Takajo Jojiro said, looking at the address marked by Kumagami.
"Hmm, this address is indeed the one from the news report last night."
"Takajo, did you also watch that report?"
Tomori Nao said with a smile.
Takajo Jojiro was surprised: "Could it be that you, President, also...?"
"Yes," Tomori Nao nodded, "I also watched it." She looked at the map and said, "Mori Town, huh? No time to lose, let's leave early!"
"I knew it."
Yisaka Yuu sighed. He hadn't expected that he couldn't even be a model student. He had only been at this school for two days, and he had already left early two days in a row.
"Oh, come on, your grades are all from cheating, what's the point of being a model student?"
Tomori Nao scoffed.
Fugaku remained silent throughout, acting like a master.
The group of four set off, and after a thirty-minute drive, they arrived at Mori Town, the location of the special ability user.
This was a very ordinary small town. They did not go to the high school in the town, but instead arrived in front of an old house.
The location marked by Kumagami was not a high school, but an old residence.
Tomori Nao also inquired around and only then learned some of the information.
It turned out that the girl who had been interviewed on the news, because of her ability to communicate with animals, was ostracized and isolated at school, and even bullied. So, the girl stopped attending school. Since the beginning of the semester, after attending for one week, she had been staying at home and had not gone to school.
This matter was not a secret in the small town; after all, the town was so small that anything that popped up could quickly become known to the townspeople.
Without Tomori Nao's instruction, the lackey Takajo Jojiro stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The house seemed very old and did not have a doorbell, so he knocked directly.
Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.
Takajo Jojiro knocked three times before there was a stir inside.
"Who is it?"
A girl's cautious voice came from behind the door.
As for why she was like this, Tomori Nao and the others understood. Those who bullied the girl were not even satisfied at school; sometimes they would chase her to her doorstep to throw stones and do other things.
"Hello, we are from Hoshinoumi Academy, and we'd like to ask if you're interested in transferring schools?"
There was a moment of silence inside, then the door was pushed open, and a short-haired, pure-looking girl timidly looked at the four people outside the door.
"I'm not transferring. If there's nothing else..."
After the pure-looking girl finished speaking, she prepared to close the door.
Tomori Nao quickly blocked it with her hand, preventing her from closing the door.
"Wait, can you let us in to talk for a moment?" Noticing the fear in the girl's eyes, Tomori Nao showed a friendly smile, "We're from Nakano City, and this is my student ID."
Tomori Nao took out a student ID from her other pocket and handed it to the girl.
The girl looked at it and found that it was indeed from Private Hoshinoumi Academy, and they weren't lying.
The vigilance in her eyes lessened a bit, and after a moment of hesitation, she stepped aside, "Please come in."
Upon entering the living room, once the girl realized that Tomori Nao and the other three were not the mischievous students from the town, she politely welcomed them.
After inviting them to sit, she went to make tea.
"Please have some tea. Please forgive the poor hospitality."
The girl said, kneeling beside them.
Tomori Nao first observed for a moment, then asked, "Are you the only one at home?"
The girl nodded timidly.
"I heard you can communicate with animals? Can you show us?"
Tomori Nao said, her peripheral vision noticing a yellow cat lying on the balcony floor not far away.
The girl wasn't too surprised. The fact that she could communicate with animals was no longer a secret in the small town; it had already spread throughout the town.
Also, not long ago, a TV crew even came to their house to interview her.
She had also demonstrated it to the TV crew, but whether they believed her or not, she didn't know. Anyway, she had clearly conveyed the animals' words.
"If you want to see, you can."
The girl did not refuse and called out towards the balcony, "Mimi, come here~"
Under the gaze of Tomori Nao and the other three, the yellow cat that was lying with its back to them...
