Applying for Faculty of Arts Type 1?
Forget it, if I go down that path, it would be fun if I lose my life!
Simply put, if you separate the difficulty of Tokyo University's Arts and Science faculties, Faculty of Arts Type 1 is the most difficult in the Arts category, and Faculty of Science Type 3 is the most difficult in the Science category.
One is the Faculty of Law, the other is the Faculty of Medicine.
Sawamura Sayuri asked if he was interested, and Aki Tomoya very decisively said he wasn't interested!
"Entering Tokyo University is not to catch the eye of people at your level. Please don't misunderstand. I am personally very greedy, but also easily satisfied."
Aki Tomoya said fearfully.
At this moment, he felt that he should strongly criticize Japan's corrupt system and political environment.
It's not impossible to study Faculty of Arts Type 1. It would also be good to study under Komikado and become a lawyer, but Sawamura Sayuri's meaning wasn't the same as this!
"It's rare that I have such expectations for you, kid, and you answer without even thinking. It hurts, you know?"
Even if you act all spoiled at this time, Aki Tomoya won't fall for it.
He was quite sensitive in this regard.
"Regarding law, I really admire a senior named Komikado. He is an excellent lawyer!"
Aki Tomoya answered like this, which also served to tell Sawamura Sayuri that even if he had the intention to apply for Faculty of Arts Type 1, it would be to become a lawyer, and he would never have other intentions.
If he were to study law in Japan, he would follow Komikado's path!
At this moment, Sawamura Sayuri slightly furrowed her brows, fanning herself and muttering, "Komikado... Komikado Kensuke? I remembered a troublesome guy!"
Her muttering reached Aki Tomoya's ears and caused him quite a shock.
Legal High should have been aired in this Japan long ago, isn't it not even filmed yet?
"I'm really sorry for making you have expectations for me!"
Aki Tomoya didn't think much. Although he was a little concerned, he should refuse Sawamura Sayuri first.
Sawamura Sayuri, who was still thinking about a certain myth in the Japan legal world with a 100% win rate, came back to her senses and looked at Aki Tomoya again, thinking to herself, "Could this kid have been influenced by that scoundrel lawyer?"
Although she was curious, Sawamura Sayuri was more disappointed at the moment. She had just had expectations for Aki Tomoya, but this kid refused so decisively.
If it were someone else, they would probably swear to graduate from Tokyo University's Faculty of Arts Type 1 even if it meant death.
"Aki-kun, I feel like I hardly recognize you anymore!"
Sawamura Sayuri exclaimed with emotion.
With ideals and goals, unaffected by external factors, and full of motivation, in time he would become another excellent man. It was a pity that such a young man seemed to be missing out on her daughter.
Despite the regret, she still had to worry about her daughter's friendships.
"Can Aki-kun still be friends with Eriri? This is a mother's request."
Sawamura Sayuri asked and then added.
Aki Tomoya, who was opposite her, twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a helpless tone, "She's the one who can't handle friendships well, do I have to be responsible too?"
"Don't say that. Can you just listen to a mother's worries?"
Sawamura Sayuri also realized that Eriri was the one who couldn't figure things out right now. At least as ordinary friends, she believed that Aki Tomoya could still maintain such a relationship.
Her position now was simply that of a mother who was worried about this and had to ask the young man in front of her for help.
Aki Tomoya pushed up his glasses and looked at Sawamura Sayuri, who was holding her face in her hands, again: "Excuse my rudeness, may I express my opinion?"
"Please speak freely. We've known each other for over ten years, haven't we? There's no need to be so polite!"
Honestly, Sawamura Sayuri was a bit uncomfortable with the serious atmosphere brought about by Aki Tomoya's polite language.
When she had interacted with him a few times before, although Aki Tomoya was much more reserved than he was now, this kind of big change was something Sawamura Sayuri couldn't immediately adjust to when they had formal contact.
"Naturally enjoying the favors given by the environment, Aunt's upbringing seems to have deviated from the track. The troubles of a large family don't seem to be any less than ours, the common folk."
Aki Tomoya felt that Eriri really didn't need to worry about anything. People in adolescence either think too much or think in the wrong direction.
Most people will have many more times when they are not in control of themselves in the future.
As for Eriri's current environment, she has already obtained the life most people want. Many people work themselves to death just for the life they want and then do what they like.
Not to say she has no right to complain, but compared to those who are truly lost, her complaints sound a bit ironic.
So, perhaps it should be asked whether Sawamura Sayuri's parenting style is missing something important.
"You didn't give her a heads-up in advance. Aunt didn't do enough in this matter. What's the point of disliking others for being hypocritical? Many people are quite envious that she has the right to make others hypocritical."
However, having said that, people always need a true friend.
A trace of surprise flashed in Sawamura Sayuri's eyes at Aki Tomoya's words. Was he really a student to be able to say such things?
He looked as if he had experienced a lot. This sense of incongruity, or rather, this characteristic, made Sawamura Sayuri look at him sideways.
"But thinking about it carefully, Sawamura Aunt, you didn't not give her a heads-up. She attended public schools from elementary to junior high, but Eriri didn't truly see the gap between herself and others. How about raising her to be a true young lady now?"
Aki Tomoya shook his head as he spoke. A carefree young lady?
Don't be silly. There is no truly carefree person in the world. If there is, it must be a chosen one!
But compared to others, Eriri can be said to be carefree.
"You're trying to say you're complaining, but it sounds more like stating facts, Aki-kun. As the mother of your childhood friend, do I need to re-evaluate you?"
Sawamura Sayuri said in surprise.
At this moment, Aki Tomoya shook his head again and then smiled, "Actually, I want to deny the point about being childhood friends, because I suddenly found that talking to Sawamura Aunt is much easier compared to Eriri... Anyway, we've known each other for over ten years, so we're definitely still friends, right? But looking at how worried you are now, it seems that in Eriri's eyes, our friendship is more fragile than it is in my eyes?"
"After all, as you said, after graduation, contact is lost, and after a few years, with less and less contact, people will think of each other less and less. Even friends who know her true nature are like this, let alone those children who approach her with ulterior motives?"
"Is that so? Then I'm really sorry for making your child face these things too early!"
Although Aki Tomoya was speaking in an apologetic tone, it didn't sound very sincere.
If she had figured these things out earlier, she wouldn't have to worry about them in the future, would she?
"Anyway, I will still treat her as a normal friend, as long as she still considers me that ordinary friend she has known for over ten years."
Aki Tomoya said at this time. It was not a special request, and it was also something he had always wanted to do.
If we compare Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, for Aki Tomoya, the person he has known for over ten years holds more weight.
But if he were to say which one he liked, Aki Tomoya would choose Kasumigaoka Utaha without hesitation.
Because even though he portrayed himself as a bad person in front of her at that time, that Senior knew it in her heart, right? At most, this was a failed first love confession. In other words, Aki Tomoya just gave her a way out.
He acted as a bad person once, and from another perspective, the other side still saved face!
Just listening to what others occasionally say at school, Kasumigaoka Utaha is living a much more carefree life than Eriri now.
"It's a shame Aki-kun isn't going to study liberal arts!"
"Sorry, I'm not interested in law!"
"...I won't bother you anymore. Finally, please bear with her a little more, okay? Seeing your friendship become like this, I'm really sad!"
"Please take care."
