Chapter 7 - 63 to 72

Go ask Kyoko Gono what happened between them?

Given the other person's personality, there's a high probability that he'll say - why are you mentioning that bitch?

How offensive, Gono-san.

But why is Kusaka-san called a bitch? She's so gentle.

Is it because of bad water? Not really.

"ah!!!"

"Harder! Harder, Yuzu!"

"I'm trying hard."

"Damn it, even if I try my best, I can't win..."

This is tug of war.

The first day of the sports festival ended and most clubs suspended their activities, but Furui still had to go to the baseball club, which was really sad.

Tateno Sota and Hazumi Yuu left the school together.

"Would you like to come to my house and play?" Tateno invited.

Come to think of it, the three of them haven't gathered outside of school for a long time.

"Thank you, but no." Yuzumi Yu refused, "I've been thinking a little unclear lately."

"My house is very clean."

"I know."

"My house is very big."

"I'll stay away from you."

The two separated.

Yuzumi Yu still goes to work.

I have also finished reading Mr. Murakami's "Kafka on the Shore".

After returning the book, Yuzumi Yu took out "Norwegian Wood", also written by Mr. Murakami.

He had heard of this book but had never read it. In order to get into Qianyuhe University, he didn't have any extra time.

After looking behind the counter for a while, he closed the book and fell into deep thought.

How can the two of them get back together?

He didn't even know the reason for their breakup.

We need to bring the two of them together...but how?

Kusaka-san was still reading, and when it was time to pay, Yuzumi Yu handed him the bag with both hands, then stood up and asked, "Kusaka-san, have you joined any clubs?"

Kusaka Haruna gave him a strange look, then seemed to have thought of something and said with a faint smile: "Hazumi-san, if you want to bring Kyoko and I together in this way, it's better not to."

This guy...

"No, I'm just finishing this guild and going to join a club. I was wondering if Kusaka-san had any advice?"

"Is that so..." The girl lowered her brows in thought, her elegant face serious. After a moment, she said, "Is there anything Yuzumi-san likes?"

The word "beautiful girl" was on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed it and changed it to: "I don't like martial arts, kyudo, kung fu, etc."

There is nothing I like, but there are things I don't like.

Kusaka Haruna was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly: "Hazumi-san, you don't look like someone who doesn't like these things."

What temperament?

Kusaka Haruna figured it out again?

You like observing others, don't you?

People who practice martial arts do have a certain temperament, which is accumulated over time and is difficult to change all of a sudden, just like some subconscious habits.

"It's precisely because I used to come into contact with it frequently that I don't like it," said the boy.

Someone came over to pay the bill, and the girl took two steps to the side to make room.

"Thank you, please come next time!"

After the guests left, Kusaka Haruna smoothed her hair and said calmly, "Manga and Animation Research Club, Wind Instrumental Club, Baseball Club, Track and Field Club, Tea Ceremony Club, Calligraphy Club, Photography Club, English Conversation Club, History Research Club, and Game Club."

Hazumi Yu: "..."

Thank you for your hard work, Kusaka-san, for mentioning so many clubs in one breath.

She is really serious.

"Thank you. I'll think about it."

The girl smiled and left.

Looking at the other person's back as he left, Yuzumi Yu had a blank expression on his face.

The wind chimes are ringing, and the wind is blowing in on a May night. It is very cool, much cooler than during the day.

The girl's figure was outside the glass window, hidden by the reflection from inside the store.

Yuzumi Yu sat down, opened the book, and closed it again.

Turn on the system.

[Emotion: 4111 (Hashimoto Minako, Gono Kyoko, Ikema Maki, Kusaka Haruna)]

It seems like the emotion value is endless.

But so far, there have been only two incidents.

Travel through time and become an animal once.

'Start an event.'

[Emotion: 3111]

[Event extraction...]

Don't let any weird things happen.

[Event——Drinking a bottle of soda in one breath]

It's very simple.

Just this incident made him think of a phrase - Give me power.

Give me strength.

After get off work, he bought a bottle of soda from the vending machine and drank it all in one go.

This is simple. The cat owner wants him to have stronger body control, but he is not used to it and the process is a bit uncomfortable.

[Event Completed]

[Evolution: 2400-2500]

"Guar..." Yuzumi Yu took a long breath.

I've never enjoyed drinking soda so much.

Very cool.

It feels better than being kicked by a beautiful girl. No, being kicked doesn't feel good at all. The only one who feels good is Kyoko Gono.

Walking along the brightly lit streets all the way home, there are low houses, old telephone poles without advertisements, and the cool night breeze in May with a big difference in temperature from the daytime. As summer comes in June, the weather will get hotter and hotter.

Then you can buy your favorite strawberry ice cream.

Mihong's school has a three-semester system.

Summer vacation: starts in late July and lasts for about six weeks until September. At this time, Tomoya Hanzumi and his wife will call Minako's family next door, and the two families will go out together to escape the summer heat. In simple terms, they travel.

Winter vacation: usually from late December to early January, about 2 to 3 weeks. This winter vacation is also the time when Yuzumi Yu plans to go to Hokkaido.

Spring break: The holiday after the end of a school year, usually from late March to early April, about 2 weeks. This is also the shortest holiday, only about ten days in total.

So, which club should I join?

Wu Ye didn't join the club. He knew that. If she did, who would dare to control her? If she wanted to go, she could go. If she didn't want to go, she couldn't go. The club was not a place outside the law.

——Could it be that Kusaka-san didn't join either?

Thinking about things, Yuzumi Yu returned home.

In the corner of the wall not far from Yu Zhu's house, a furtive figure wearing a baseball cap peeked in and watched the boy's tall back enter the iron gate.

She retracted her head and turned on her cell phone. The bright light shone on the girl's cold face, and she immediately lowered the brightness.

He stuck his head out again, retracted it, squatted down, and opened the line.

My phone vibrated with a message before, but I didn't have time to check it.

Yoshikawa: [Image]

Yoshikawa: The younger student before was Yuzumi Yu from Class 1, Grade 5

The girl opened the picture, enlarged it, confirmed it, and sent it - thank you.

She didn't tell anyone about finding her brother, nor did she use her family connections. She just asked her classmates to find out.

'Haze, Haze Yu.' She muttered to herself.

"Brother, is this your name...?"

'It sounds good.'

She reached out again and pulled back.

Her brother didn't seem to notice her. She followed Yuzumi Yu all the way and didn't go to any clubs today. From the time school was over, she went to the bookstore and sat in a coffee shop not far away until now.

She was still very nervous on the road, fearing that the boy would turn around and look at her while walking - leaving her no time to retreat into cover.

Brother, it seems that even you can't detect my current strength... I'm very close to the second place in the world.

After hesitating for a while, the girl left quietly.

Not far away, on the second floor, in a dark room, a pair of calm eyes watched the sneaky girl go away.

No one can truly understand their own heart - Madam (Hinaki Ikema).

Yuzumi Yu said he didn't care that Ikema-senpai was following him.

This is normal.

The 'brother' in her heart may have become an obsession for her, which can be seen from her joining Kyudo and her seriousness in Kyudo.

A bit like him.

Perhaps his shadow is everywhere in her life.

But what exactly is this emotion? Yuzumi Yu has no mind-reading ability, and perhaps even Ikema-senpai herself doesn't know.

Is it love? No, not that kind of thing.

They were together for eight days and then there was a ten-year gap between them. How could it be love?

It should be...a young man's deep thoughts, a thought.

Just like when he was a child, he was obsessed with pursuing perfect shots, but when perfect shots became the norm, he found it boring.

Ikema-senpai should be the same, she is very obsessed with her 'brother', but once she finds him, perhaps this feeling will fade away with time.

——Yuzumi Yu's opinion.

Let the past be the past.

People should look to the future and not dwell on the past.

What's more, after ten years, there shouldn't be any residual heat – it's an obsession.

Turning on the light, Yuzumi Yu went to take a shower.

After washing up, I put on my pajamas and sat at the table with my cell phone next to me, playing the song "Ultramarine".

Near the chorus part——

[Hidden unconsciously]

[Let the true voice of your heart echo]

[Even if you pretend not to see]

[It does exist]

The boy was flipping through the textbook, circling and drawing on it with a pencil in his hand, and occasionally taking out his mobile phone to check information.

It's a little late for Zhijiadian, and he has a lot of things to catch up on.

"brush."

The tip of the pen rubs against the paper, drawing a horizontal line.

Although he already has the ability to remember everything he sees, he still makes notes subconsciously and habitually.

It's a bit redundant, but so what? Long-term habits are difficult to change, and there is no need to change them. Just do whatever makes you comfortable.

There is no need to be deliberate, time will gradually fade away such unnecessary actions.

Just let it be.

It was not until the night deepened and Yoko Hanezumi knocked on the door and reminded him in a gentle voice to go to bed early that Hanezumi Yu put down his pen.

Wanting to get first place is not just talk.

Closing the book, the cool night breeze blew in, ruffling the ends of the boy's hair that had dried after taking a shower. Yuzumi Yu was lost in thought. He felt that he would not be able to get into the top ten in this regular exam.

It should be between twenty and thirty.

The exam was just a few days after the thinking point, and even though he was the king of the test, he didn't have time to review too much.

But this is enough. From the last place among the top 100 to the 20th or 30th place, it is a leap forward!

Didn't you work hard before?

I have been working hard before, but the efforts now, in the words of the system, are from small success to proficiency and then to mastery?

But is it really Xiaocheng?

It could also be getting started... or not getting started yet.

He turned off the lights and lay in bed, turning on the system.

[Emotion: 3111]

'Open event.'

[Emotion: 2111]

[Event extraction...]

[Event——Protect the environment, start with me]

'...'

not good.

This name...

[This event is a time-sensitive event]

[The host needs to pick up the shimmering garbage on the ground and throw it into the trash can, setting an example for everyone to protect the environment.]

[Time remaining: 24 hours]

[Event Completed: 300 Evolution Degrees]

[Event failed: no penalty, event ends]

How could this fail?

You see trash but don't pick it up, right?

Both of these events were relatively normal, but the base number is too small now. However, it seems that there should be fewer special and strange events?

What about bizarre events?

But this is also good, his life does not need to be too passionate.

Environmental guardian——Yu Yuzumi.

On Tuesday, Yuzumi Yu got up and went about his daily routine, but when he went out for his morning run, he spotted the "shady" Ikema-senpai again, but he pretended not to notice.

Come back for breakfast, put on your school uniform, and go out to meet Minako?

I don't see her every day. Sometimes she gets up very late and I don't know what she did last night.

Akihabara?

After all, she was caught by Minako when she was climbing over the wall and she was coming back late. She went to Akihabara at that time.

Besides, now that Minako's parents are back, he doesn't need to bring lunch boxes for them, and they don't need to wake up on time.

But today, I had only taken a few steps when I "coincidentally" met Senior Ikema.

She has a fair face, charming peach blossom eyes, a hint of pink at the end of her eyes, and a cold expression. She is really exciting, no, really beautiful.

Her eyes give her charm, and her indifference gives her aloofness. This combination is really... Where is the arrogance of the senior sister? Why didn't I see it?

Today's senior student has a bun hairstyle, revealing her snow-white neck.

In fact, most of Mihong's schools do not allow girls to tie their hair up - unless in special circumstances.

Why?

Because the school believes that the back of a girl's neck is attractive to boys...that's it.

Just like underwear, women's underwear needs to be white and without patterns or decorations, as these will be visible through white shirts.

The uniform school uniform also illustrates the importance of "discipline".

But with the development of the school, some schools have abolished the school rules that prohibit girls from tying their hair and have mandatory regulations on the color of underwear, like Qianbazuru, but most girls still wear their hair down.

Such as Kyoko Gono, Haruna Kusaka, and senior Ikema who I met for the first time.

Qianyuhe is actually very open-minded and ahead of the times.

Such as lawns, plastic running tracks, hair-tied clothes, no underwear color restrictions, and Gono Kyoko's black stockings...

Black stockings look really good.

The legs are also very long and have beautiful curves.

The feet look nice too.

Wait... Day x of hating Tateno.

"Ikema-senpai?" Yuzumi Yuu was surprised, then greeted, "Good morning."

"Brother...Junior, good morning."

Hazumi Yu: "..."

Senior Ikema came over naturally, and the two of them walked towards the school.

"Going to school, junior?"

The boy glanced over.

Senior Ikema's expression remained aloof and expressionless.

"Yes...senpai, are you going to school too?" Yuzumi Yu had a blank expression on his face. He walked with his bag on one shoulder and his hands in his pockets.

He started to talk awkwardly.

The other side came first!

"Hmm, what a coincidence."

Hazumi Yu: "..."

The relationship between the two is very delicate now.

Yuzumi Yuu knew she was a little girl, and he could no longer treat her as a tool to increase his emotional value. He... was once her teacher - not just a teacher of Kyudo...

The little girl was really cute, even though I couldn't see her face clearly.

But he didn't want to admit it and wanted to let time smooth things over.

The two of them didn't speak after that until they parted at school.

A spring breeze? Perhaps it had been tainted by the summer breeze, blowing under the clear sky. Students in sportswear and school uniforms walked along the school corridors and overhead corridors.

Spring is in the air, and emerald green branches are reaching into the club classroom through the windows. The wind band is working hard for the national competition, and the second-year junior high school slogans are still coming from the baseball field. The countdown to Koshien is 87 days!

A cool girl with a bun is walking on the corridor.

'My brother doesn't recognize me anymore.'

'He can't see the person I once was.'

Maybe her brother has already returned, or maybe he hasn't traveled through time yet. Her brother's temper... When the girl calmed down, maybe her brother never thought of coming to see her.

'Stop lying to yourself, Ikema.'

But no matter whether her brother wanted to come and see her or not.

None of it matters.

Let the past be the past.

Brother, you think so too, right?

Don't dwell on the past, look to tomorrow - you once told me.

So...Brother, let's get to know each other again!

But this time, you call me senior sister, and I call you junior brother...

Back at Class 5, Yuzumi Yu took out his headphones and put them on while walking, then sat down against the wall and started looking at words.

Kyoko Gono was still sitting on his desk, swinging her legs.

Gono really likes black stockings.

Yuzumi Yu no longer wanted to say things like, "Gono-san, don't you have a desk of your own?"

This will disturb him from looking at the words.

The girl was not wearing shoes, her feet were bare, and her shoes were lying on the ground.

She looked at her phone boredly for a while, then turned to look at the boy who was memorizing words. The white headphone cable was plugged into the phone and extended to connect to her ear. He looked so serious, as if he was isolated from the world.

"Hey." Gono turned around, stretched out her legs and touched the collar of the boy's school uniform with her black silk feet.

The sudden attack interrupted Yuzumi Yu's concentration.

You can avoid it, but there is no need to. No, you can't avoid it.

Although he is a martial arts MAX and a cat owner, he will relax when it is time to relax. It is so tiring to be tense all the time.

"Mr. Wuye, please don't disturb me while I'm studying." He said righteously with a blank expression.

"Are you a nerd? You study every day." The girl was dissatisfied.

Where have I heard this before?

"Students are supposed to study."

"Boring."

[Garbage detected, time limit 5s]

An abrupt reminder.

etc!

Where's the garbage? Why don't I see it?

Yuzumi Yuu looked away from his phone.

Focus and lock the enemy!

It turned out that a classmate's paper was not thrown into the trash can.

——The piece of paper glowed with a faint yellow light.

[4 seconds remaining]

He stood up and rushed over. When the classmate was about to pick up the trash, he took the lead to pick it up and throw it into the trash can.

The man was stunned for a moment.

[Garbage Removal]

Although confused, the man still bowed slightly and thanked him, "Thank you, but it's not necessary, Yuzumi-san."

"It's okay, just something that happens easily."

Is it convenient?

What was that gust of wind just now?

Yuzumi Yu walked back, and Kyoko Gono looked at him expressionlessly. Her little head turned with the boy, and finally tilted slightly downwards, watching the boy sitting on the ground.

She turned her gaze again and looked at the boy who had thrown the garbage before and was now out of class.

"He's your friend?"

After a while, the girl turned around, raised her foot and gently kicked the boy, then raised her voice and said, "I'm talking to you."

"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly." Yuzumi Yu took off one of his headphones.

The cat owner's enhanced hearing is actually quite noisy, so he usually asks the system to block it out when it's not necessary.

Although the system is dead and won't tell you some things unless you ask it, it can really do some things if you ask it to.

For example, the former, the katana. If it hadn't been broken last time, the system might never have told him in his lifetime that the thing could be upgraded - although he already had a premonition in his heart.

The latter, for example, blocks the prompts for obtaining emotional values and blocks the feature of enhancing the cat owner's hearing, which is really useful, otherwise it would be another "buy me".

"System, buy my words and torture me. I will remember you for the rest of my life."

[...]

"Why didn't you just say, 'I'm a cheater, I'm a cheater'? That would have made it easier for you to buy me, right?"

[...]

His arm was kicked again, this time with greater force. Yuzumi Yu came to his senses and looked over to see Kyoko Gono staring at him expressionlessly.

"Sorry, I got distracted."

Damn it, I actually ignored Wuye while chatting with the system.

How rude!

"Let me ask you! Are you friends with that person?" Gono's tone was very unfriendly.

"Which one?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy quickly moved to the side to avoid the girl's kick.

"The one throwing the trash!" Gono-san looked very angry. "I'm really going to be pissed off talking to you! Yuzumi Yuu!"

"No." The boy replied.

"Then why did you run over to help him pick up trash?"

Is this what Gono-san understands? Just because they are friends, should he run over to help the other person pick up the trash?

Blind understanding.

"My virtue is A." Yuzumi Yu was very serious.

"What do you mean?" Kyoko said she didn't understand.

"In terms of morality, I get an A."

The girl pursed her lips, a speechless expression: "Did you give your own review?"

"Your beauty is S." The boy said again, still seriously.

The girl was silent for a moment, then said, "It seems a bit authoritative."

"..." Gono-san seemed to know that he was very good-looking.

"Where is your beauty?" asked the girl.

"My beauty is also S."

"I agree." The recognition from the beautiful girl Mei S.

As expected of you, the superficial face-obsessed Kyoko Gono.

——Yuzumi Yu who is not superficial.

Because Yuzumi Yu cares about his virtue being A.

The system had been blocked by him when he just mentioned Germany A.

Sure enough, the system can really do some things, including shielding itself.

Continue looking at the words.

But he seemed to be not concentrating at all, he was thinking about what had just happened.

On the way here, he didn't see any garbage, maybe he didn't notice it, but he didn't hear the system's prompt either.

This means there should be no garbage in his field of vision.

Or garbage that doesn't have a shimmer.

The streets of Mihong are actually very clean. In Mihong, some garbage collectors are civil servants and have high salaries and benefits.

In some areas, garbage collectors who have worked for more than ten years can earn an annual salary of up to 10 million yen, including year-end bonuses.

Of course, whether the streets are clean or not has nothing to do with the garbage collectors, it is mainly in Mihong culture——

The concept of "not causing trouble to others" is deeply rooted in people's minds.

It is generally believed that keeping the public environment clean is everyone's responsibility. Few people will litter at will. If there is garbage, they will put it in a bag and throw it away at the right place.

Another thing is that the garbage classification is really detailed, even to the "extreme" level. Garbage is divided into combustible garbage, non-combustible garbage, resource garbage (further subdivided into bottles, paper, plastic, etc.), large garbage, etc.

In addition, the law imposes severe penalties on illegal garbage dumping.

Under such circumstances, the streets will naturally be clean.

The exception is the red light district at night...

Yuzumi Yu opened the event and took a look.

[Event Completed: 300 Evolution Degrees]

No change.

Fixed.

The last change was because there was a guarantee?

What about 300 evolution degrees? A little bit of water wears away a stone, and a little bit of water adds up to a lot. I only got 100 by drinking soda yesterday.

"Hazumi! Let's go!" Because he was distracted and because Tateno Kanata had a really loud voice, Yuzumi Yu heard it.

He looked over and saw Li Ye holding a red sportswear in his hand and gesturing.

Yuzumi Yu stood up and took the schoolbag hanging next to the table. This action inevitably brought him very close to the girl's legs. Fortunately, Gono didn't kick him again.

He took out his sportswear and hung his backpack back up, but the girl suddenly stepped lightly on his chest with her toes.

Yuzumi Yu walked away indifferently, while Gono Kyoko had a faint smile on her elegant face.

"It's fun." said the girl.

"Boring." The boy said expressionlessly.

This is Wu Ye. Sometimes I really don't know what she will do next. The motivation for her actions can be summed up in two words: interesting.

It might have been just a fleeting thought, but it was interesting enough that she went for it.

For example, the sudden teasing just now.

Hazumi Yu and Tateno walked out of the classroom together.

They went to the locker room and changed their clothes.

"Hyuzumi, you have a great figure." This is Tateno.

"You have a nice figure too." Business people compliment each other.

Tateno Kanata looks quite strong, mainly because of his big frame.

"Hyuzumi, you're so handsome."

"Souta, there's no need to explain what's obvious." The young man moved away.

The morning sports festival ended in full swing.

Yuzumi Yuuta wanted to know the ranking of this regular exam, but it was obvious that the results would not be announced until the sports festival was completely over.

At the edge of the playground, under the lush trees, two girls were chatting.

A petite and cute one.

A person who is tolerant is great.

At the corner not far away, a head popped out, then... two, three, forming a vertical straight line.

"Is this Shibao-senpai?" The little head in the middle looked serious. It was Tateno.

Who is Shibao-senpai?

Last time, Yuzumi Yu and Tateno were discussing fans in front of Gono-san. After being discovered, Yuzumi Yu had to confess his hidden discovery.

Although Shibao was not an F, there was nothing that could be done at that time. After all, it is really hard to find a qualified star player, just like the king fish in the lake, it is really hard to catch it because there are too many small fish.

"Visual G." The little head below was commenting, but it was obvious that they were not professional commentators, because Yuzumi Yu had decided to give up that identity. This was Furui.

"Yes, this is Senior Shibao." The head above had handsome features and nodded seriously.

"But I am still a loyal fan of Senior Takatsu." Tateno Kanata stood firm.

"Senior Gao Jin is also a G." A very sunny statement.

"F!" Li Ye retorted.

The bigger the ball, the better.

"There's something wrong with your eyes, Zou Tai." The handsome young man said calmly.

Why?

Because Gaojin is wider than Wuye, Wuye is F... I think so, or it may be padded.

How rude...

"Two votes to one, Gao Jin-senpai is G."

"You're not a fan of Senior Gao Jin!" Tateno was unhappy.

"My eyes are the ruler!" Gu Jing was very confident.

Yuzumi Yu asked, "So, Furui, who are you a fan of?"

"Shibao-senpai." Sunshine.

"Huh?" Li Ye was surprised. "Did he surrender on the first encounter?"

"After all, she's a G, and she's very cute." Still sunny.

"The bigger the ball, the better!" Tateno insisted on his original intention.

"That's too presumptuous." Yuzumi Yu said lightly. If he hadn't been pulled by these two people, he wouldn't have come.

[Garbage detected, 15s]

What!

"brush!"

The hair of both Tateno and Furui was blown, and then they saw Yuzumi Yu rushing towards the two girls.

"?"

"?"

"What is this guy Yuzumi going to do?" Gu Jing was puzzled.

"Say hello?" Li Ye was also puzzled.

They just stared, and then saw a handsome young man come to the two of them and pick up a piece of paper that had fallen on the ground at their feet.

Is it paper?

It's a bit hard to see clearly.

Then he ran away again.

"Where is Yuzumi going?" Tateno didn't understand.

"Has your disease finally spread to Yuzumi?" Furui was thinking.

Those two girls, no, those two senior students also looked a little confused.

Normally, there aren't fixed trash cans on school grounds, but...it's the sports festival, so there are temporary trash cans.

[3s]

Put the garbage into the bin.

[Garbage Removal]

Yuzumi Yu adjusted his breathing, his face expressionless, his hands in his pockets, and he walked towards the seniors under the puzzled gazes of the two seniors and the puzzled eyes of the two boys in the corner not far away.

The boy has a slender figure and a beautiful S-like appearance that is outstanding enough, even more outstanding than G.

Facing such a handsome young man, even his expressionless face was enough to make the two senior schoolmates' hearts beat fast.

Heart-beating?

have no idea.

Maybe it's just a subconscious rush when facing beautiful things.

Of course, beauty is just one of Yuzumi Yu's most insignificant advantages, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning...

Coming in front of the two seniors, the boy softened his voice and said, "Seniors, please don't litter."

He needs to explain himself, otherwise what if he is considered a psychopath?

The two girls blushed, probably out of shame. After all, they were bothering someone, especially a handsome boy.

"I'm sorry to trouble you, junior." Senior G-Shibao bowed slightly.

Locking the enemy, moving away, the boy said expressionlessly: "It's okay."

He walked back with his hands in his pockets.

Gu Jing and Tateno looked at each other.

"?"

"?"

"Is this a new way to pick up girls?" Tateno asked uncertainly.

"Pure numbers." Gu Jing understood it thoroughly.

"Aren't you afraid of being killed by Gono-san?"

"How far have they come?" asked Furui Taku curiously.

After all, he is not in the same class as the two of them, but based on the last meal, Yuzumi and Gono seem to have a good relationship - Gono gave Yuzumi a chicken drumstick.

"Hmm..." Tateno thought, "Gono-san is already sitting at the Hazumi table."

"Gono-san is so offensive." Furui Taku said, but this was also a testament to their good relationship. After a while, he turned and said, "What about you, Kanata?"

"What?"

"girlfriend."

"The beautiful girl in the game console." Tateno said seriously.

"As expected of you, Sota."

Yuzumi Yu was still walking slowly towards him.

The two of them shrank back and sat on the ground along the wall.

Tateno Kanata looked helpless: "Stop talking. The Kendo Club is just like what Yuzumi said. I'm sweating and sore all over after training every day. When I get home, I just want to lie in bed and play video games."

"You don't believe what Yuzhu said?" The sunny boy glanced over.

"But kendo is really cool! What about you?"

"Stop talking. We obviously don't have the chance to play, but we still have to train hard." The young man from Gujing was no longer sunny.

"Hey! But..." He changed the subject, took out his phone and shook it, smiling brightly, "I added Izumitani-senpai on line."

Tateno blinked. "Who is Izumitani-senpai?"

"...Izumitani Tomoka."

"…I don't know him."

"Baseball club manager." Gu Jing felt helpless. It was senior Izumiya who introduced him that day.

"Oh..." Li Ye suddenly realized, and then said, "You guys, are you still going to do it?"

"It depends." The sunny boy unlocked the screen and looked at his phone. "My senior said I work very hard."

Li Ye was speechless and glanced over: "If you don't come to eat with us at noon, I will believe it."

The tall figure of the young man with his hands in his pockets walked out from the corner of the wall and turned to look at the two people sitting on the ground.

"Hyuzumi." Tateno said suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you know Izumitani-san?"

The handsome young man pondered for a moment, "Sounds a bit familiar."

"Izumi...what's that?" Li Ye turned to look at the sunny boy.

"...Izumitani Tomoka."

This time, the handsome young man confirmed: "I don't know him."

"…"Furui Taku.

It was clearly the senior who introduced herself that day!!!

"Look, even Yuzumi doesn't know him." Tateno Kanata snorted.

"Housumi, what is the Line friend note of your baseball club manager?" Furui Taku said softly, reminding.

Yuzumi Yuu was taken aback for a moment before answering, "He's the baseball club manager."

"…"

"What's wrong?" Yuzumi Yu felt something was wrong and looked at Tateno.

"This guy is in love with the baseball club manager." Tateno said seriously.

The handsome young man was surprised, and Furui Taku's face turned black: "Zouta!"

"Good thing." Yuzumi Yu reached out and pulled the two of them up.

The three of them followed the midday wind and went away together, under the school's blue sky and leisurely white clouds.

"We haven't dated yet."

"I know."

"I know."

"You two!"

"Wait a minute, Yuzumi, how come you ran faster than the competition just now?" Furui changed the subject.

"Is there?"

"have."

"have."

"Souta, you really have no opinion."

There were cheers and shouts from the sidelines. Under the mid-May sky, Yuzumi Yu was sitting in Class 5's seat next to the playground.

"Next is the 4x100 relay, come on!" Xinshisi from the Sports Commission ran over and greeted everyone.

Yuzumi Yu handed his phone to Kyoko Gono who was standing beside him, and stood up with the other athletes.

The Gono girl was playing with her cell phone, so she took it and put it on her thighs. After the boy left, she lay down on Yuzumi Yu's stool again and put the phone on her flat belly.

After an unknown amount of time, the boy came back, took the phone from the girl's abdomen, and patted her.

Kyoko stood up, still playing with her phone, and just picked up the water at her feet and handed it over.

"Thank you." Yuzumi Yu took it, opened it, and drank it in one gulp.

It suddenly occurred to him...the empty bottle of water was thrown on the ground.

One second, two seconds.

There was no prompt, nor any pale yellow light.

"…"

He knew that the triggering condition for this event was not garbage, but garbage with pale yellow light, which was the garbage designated by the system.

Is there a cool down in between or something?

He thought.

But it doesn't matter, just pick it up, 300 evolution degrees for free.

Protecting the environment starts with me.

His virtue is A.

Yuzumi Yu picked up the empty water bottle.

He turned around and looked at the girl who was playing with her phone seriously, and wanted to ask - why don't you go refuel with everyone?

But when the words came to her lips, forget it, she could do whatever she wanted.

Tateno Souta also came back with beads of sweat on his forehead and sat on the other side of Yuzumi Yu.

"Is there any water?" He looked around for a while.

"Yes." Yuzumi Yu bent down, took a bottle of water from Gono-san's side and handed it to him.

"Thank you." Li Ye was very thirsty, so he opened the water and drank it quickly.

After drinking the water, Tateno felt better. He took out his phone and turned on the camera: "Take a picture, Yuzumi, to commemorate our private school's first sports festival."

"Go find the ancient well?"

"Set off!"

The two stood up and walked away. Tateno suddenly asked, "Hey? Aren't you going to call Gono-san?"

Yuzumi Yu knew what he meant. He was afraid that if the two of them left directly, Gono would have a problem with him.

"No need," he said.

The two men didn't find Gu Jing in Class 2's rest area, so they went to the sidelines and pulled Gu Jing away while he was refueling.

A fierce horse-riding battle was taking place in the center of the playground.

The three of them were on the steps at the sidelines.

Group photo: Yu Yu is in the middle with an expressionless face, Tateno is on one side with a proud look, and Furui is on the other side with a faint smile - very sunny.

The background behind is the playground where the sports festival is being held.

"Perfect." Tateno Souta looked at the photo, "The three of us are all top-notch in terms of looks."

Taking a photo with friends at my first sports festival.

In the afternoon, Yuzumi Yu went to work as usual and picked up trash on the way again.

It's almost over, it's almost mid-month, and I don't have much time left to work.

School clubs...he hasn't decided yet.

It's almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

Wind chimes are ringing, guests are coming.

The young man stood up and said, "Welcome to the Tea Ancient Bookstore."

It's Ikema-senpai.

She walked towards the bookshelf with a cold look on her face.

Yuzumi Yu sat down, seemingly continuing to read, but actually observing his senior.

It was obvious that the senior was not here to read books. It could be seen from her non-serious expression and the speed at which she turned the pages. Unlike Kusaka Haruna, she was here to really read books.

Also, senior sister, do you really know what kind of book you are reading now?

Never mind, he had no right to interfere with the guests.

It was almost seven o'clock, and the senior sister had been there for a long time. At this time, Kusaka Haruna also came.

They are not in the same group. Kusaka is in the literature section.

However, the senior sister's attention was obviously not on the book, so the boy saw the senior sister raise her eyes and stare at Kusaka Haruna's back.

Then, Ikema-senpai put the book back and walked towards Kusaka Haruna.

Yuzumi Yu had a blank expression on his face - did they know each other?

Cat owner's hearing, open!

[receive]

It's really offensive to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.

But——his virtue is only C.

[...]

"System, shut up."

Ikema Maki walked over to Kusaka Haruna and said, "Kusaka-chan."

Kusaka Haruna looked over and nodded lightly: "Senior Ikema." As she spoke, she took out a book.

I actually know him—Yuzumi Yu behind the counter.

"Are you here to read a book?" Maki Ikema glanced at the book in Kusaka Haruna's hand.

"Yes." The elegant girl smiled faintly.

Hazumi Yu: "..."

He discovered that Senior Ikema really liked to play some awkward tricks, for example, asking you if you were going to school when you were wearing a school uniform, or asking you if you were reading a book in a bookstore.

Who is to blame for that cute little girl becoming like this?

It's yours, ma'am.

"I'm here to read a book too." Maki Ikema also took out a book.

"Okay." Kusaka smiled slightly, opened the book, and looked at it.

What's next?

I waited five minutes, and that's it...

Yuzumi Yu turned off the cat owner's hearing aid. It was really noisy. In the bookstore, he could hear the obvious sound of traffic outside.

While looking at the book, Yuzumi Yu glanced at Kusaka-san in the literature section, then looked away.

She must have noticed that the senior student didn't look like she was reading and that she came to talk to her on purpose.

"Senior, oh senior, you can't keep your composure."

Kusaka Haruna was really reading a book, as if she was immersed in it.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Ikema-senpai came over with a thick stack of books and placed them on the counter.

Yuzumi Yu was a little dumbfounded.

He raised his eyes and looked at the expressionless face of the senior sister, which showed the coldness in her bones, but without the arrogance.

"Junior, check out." The senior's voice was soft.

"Is that so much, senior sister?" He had to ask out of responsibility.

"Yes, so much." The senior student's voice was still soft.

"Okay, please wait." The boy took the books one by one and scanned the codes.

While scanning the books, the senior sister stared at him with her charming peach blossom eyes without blinking, and whispered, "Why are you working outside?"

"I need to pay back the money." Yuzumi Yu finished scanning another book.

"Are you short of money?" Senior Ikema said softly, frowning and feeling in her pockets, pulling out an exquisite white wallet.

"Wait." Yuzumi Yu quickly reached out to stop him, but he didn't touch her, just held her hand in the air. "I'm almost done paying you back, senpai."

"Is that so..." Ikema Maki paused and looked again, "Would you like a tip?"

"Thank you, but no."

There's no need to be kept by a rich woman!

Kusaka-san, who had come to the counter at some point, turned around with her back to the two of them, and Yuzumi Yu seemed to hear her chuckle.

After everything was packed and the four bags were handed over, the boy bowed slightly and said, "Thank you. Please come again next time."

"I'll come again." Senior Ikema took the bag and turned to leave.

The wind chimes are ringing, and the night wind blows in, blowing away some of the heat.

Kusaka Haruna turned around and looked at the boy with smiling eyes.

She gently put her hair up and said, "Hazumi-san really impressed me."

Look at it with new eyes?

Is this how the word is used?

"It seems that Ikema-senpai likes buying books." Yuzumi Yu's expression was calm.

He didn't say he was reading, because it was obvious from Chijian's state that he was not reading seriously.

Kusaka Haruna came over with the book she wanted to buy, put it on the counter, and gently pushed it over. Her elegant eyebrows lowered: "You provoked Kyoko, and then provoked Ikema-senpai, Yuzumi-san, have you really thought it through?"

The young man's expression remained calm. Provoke? He never wanted to provoke them. He only had one target: Todai!

Kyoko Gono is a beautiful S who is exerting her strength, and Ikema is an obsession that cannot be erased by time.

Yuzumi Yu took the book, scanned it, and told the price, while Kusaka Haruna took out her wallet.

After putting the books into the bag, I heard Kusakata's gentle voice again: "Kyoko can be very extreme sometimes because she can't control her emotions. Yuzumi-san can go and find out why Kyoko transferred here."

The young man looked serious.

Why did Kusaka Haruna tell him this?

This guy.

Yuzumi Yu bent down and handed the bag over with both hands, conscientiously performing the duties of a store clerk.

"Kusaka-san, are you helping me?" He asked expressionlessly, standing up.

The girl simply smiled gently and said, "I just wanted to see how Yuzumi-san would handle it."

"It's none of your business how I respond, right?" he said coldly.

"But I'm willing to help you."

"You're just watching the show."

"Tsk~ There is still friendship between us, right?" The girl smiled faintly.

"Where is the friendship?" the boy asked. "You don't even want to tell me about Kyoko."

"Only color?"

"Only lip friendship."

"Hazumi-san is truly heartless." The girl's eyes dimmed.

"We're just using each other." He returned the words that Kusaka-san had said before.

Yuzumi Yuu watched the figure in the white dress leave the store with an expressionless face.

This guy seems gentle, but he is actually very mean.

Sure enough, people without friends are like this, always have some flaws in their personality.

If Kusaka Haruna wasn't so evil, she would be an extremely gentle person. What a pity.

Kusaka-san helped him? That was too simple a thought. She was just there to watch the fun. However, he, Kyoko, and Ikema had nothing to do with it.

Fortunately, Kusaka chose to watch from the sidelines. If she had ended up... Wait, Yuzumi Yu felt that his thoughts were going astray.

This isn't a Shura field at all, right?

One is a friend and the other is a senior student, how can this be a Shura scene?

Yes, that's it.

He has only one goal - Todai!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, turn off the lights and leave work on time.

The cool night breeze blew the boy's hair on his brow. He walked on the narrow road with a bag on one shoulder.

Ask Gono Kyoko why she transferred here? Or find out?

unnecessary.

He didn't need to follow Kusaka Haruna's pace.

If I was really led astray by her, I might have fallen into her trap. That guy's words hinted at the Shura Field, but in fact, there is no Shura Field at all now.

Kusaka-san, you are really bad - a bad woman.

But why did Kusaka Haruna do this? Is there any benefit for her in doing this?

Or, did she really want to help him?

Yuzumi Yu doesn't have the ability to read minds.

But no matter what, it doesn't matter.

He'll take care of it.

There is no need to worry about Kyoko, she is just a childish girl.

There was no need for Ikema to care, as he was her master, and if he couldn't control her, he would pull her mother over and let the bloodline suppress her.

But the lady should have forgotten him.

If the wife hasn't forgotten him yet, it means... she has two extra incomes.

One for the pool and one for the lady.

I will remember you.

As the night deepened, Yuzumi Yu had already returned home, washed up and lay down on the bed.

[Event - Protect the environment, start with me, completed]

[Evolution: 2500-2800]

[Emotion: 2331]

The emotion value seems to be not enough.

[The host can spend 10,000 evolution degrees to forcibly extract abilities during the ability extraction cooldown period. The extracted abilities will be directly upgraded to level 2.]

'...'

System, you'd better not say that.

He is not rich enough to spend his evolutionary power at will.

After thinking carefully, Yuzumi Yu suddenly opened his mind.

Intelligence: B (Thinking, Memory)

It seems that 10,000 degrees of evolution are required, but in fact, this level is enough.

To cope with the exam, you don't need Intelligence A or Intelligence S, and 10,000 evolution degrees is really expensive.

What I said before about maxing out your intelligence was just a joke.

He doesn't want to be a scientist or promote human progress. He has no interest in that. Wouldn't that be too tiring?

His original intention was to study at the University of Tokyo and become prime minister.

Now all you have to do is stick to your original intention.

No matter how great the temptation is before him - just stick to your heart.

It is enough to have a wonderful life.

stupid?

No, everyone has their own pursuits.

Desires are endless, but figuring out what you really need is the most important thing.

The power of the system can be used, but he is still himself, Yuzumi Yu.

Madam, if I may borrow your words, my spiritual cultivation journey is not bad at all?

This world is ultimately a world for ordinary people. If you stand too high, you will feel lonely...

"However, I still want to thank you, system. You have made my path to becoming prime minister no longer a fantasy."

[...Upgrade the sword]

'...'

'Upgrade the sword.'

[Insufficient evolution]

'What did you say?'

[...]

[Germany: C]

'Shut up.'

'Open event.'

He still needs to earn evolution points, and he needs a transformation device to fulfill his childhood dream.

You also need teleportation, a money gun, a happy potion, a time pauser, an artificial girlfriend... No, you don't need this.

[Emotion: 1331]

[Event extraction...]

[Event——Jumping from the top of Tokyo Tower]

'...Are you kidding me?'

4-2-8 Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo, is located in the core area of Tokyo, with tall buildings and busy cars.

Late at night, a figure climbed up the Tokyo Tower, which was emitting a pale yellow light. Dressed in black, he seemed to be hidden in the night, and finally jumped down from the top of the Tokyo Tower.

With a "puff", the glider opened and flew away into the night.

'Will this really go undetected?'

Yuzumi Yu was wearing insulating clothes all over, fearing that there was electricity on them and that he would be struck by lightning - maybe he couldn't defend himself against lightning?

[Event - Jump from the top of Tokyo Tower, completed]

[Evolution: 2800-2900]

'Open event.'

[Emotion: 331]

[Event extraction...]

[Event——If possible]

...

(It won't be a high-level urban martial arts story. Simply becoming stronger for the sake of improving strength and constantly going up will change the flavor of the whole book. The tone of the whole book is still the daily life of youth and love. Of course, there will be battles, and the interactions with the wife that everyone wants to see will also be there. As for the wife... well... maybe there will be a side story?)

This event is a special prize pool event]

Finally, a special event has opened up again. It's not easy.

But...the prize pool?

[When the other party says 'if you can', the host can choose to agree or refuse]

Still have the right to choose?

[If the host agrees and successfully completes the task, he will receive a reward pool of 100 evolutionary degrees.]

[If the host refuses, the accumulated evolution degree in the prize pool will be reduced by 200]

[Initial Prize Pool Evolution Degree 0]

[Reward Pool: 0]

Looking at the subtitles, Yuzumi Yu was silent. Is it... that simple?

Just agree to the other party's request and successfully do it, and you can get 100 degrees of evolution?

'When will this incident end?'

[The host can end it at any time]

The end? How could it be?

This is simply a powerful tool for brushing evolution degree.

[The host cannot induce others to say "if possible", nor can they hint at it, otherwise 500 evolution points will be deducted]

'Reducing the prize pool?'

[Inverted]

'...'

"But, speaking of which, did you eat all those upside-down ones?"

[...]

Forget it, the system is dead.

At night, Yuzumi Yu did not go home, but wore a ninja suit, a mask, and held a katana, and went out to punish evil and promote good.

Where is evil? Evil is spirit.

Where is the good? The good is him.

In Yotsuya, not only Suga Shrine is the most famous, but after a walk around, there was no sign of spirits in other small shrines.

After turning off his luminous pupils, Yuzumi leisurely returned home.

Wednesday, the last day of the sports festival.

The boy walked into the classroom, holding his school uniform jacket in one arm, with a light blue tie tied around his collar. His white shirt was tucked into the belt of his dark school pants, but it was loose enough to leave a small hem hanging down so that he could stretch his arms upwards.

As the weather gets warmer, it's no longer suitable to wear a coat, but this makes the boy's legs look longer.

Girls also tuck their white shirts into their skirts, everyone does this.

When he got to his seat, Wu Ye was not sitting at his table today. Her stool had been moved back at some point, and she was sitting at her seat.

Throwing his coat casually on the table, Yuzumi Yu sat on it, took out his cell phone and headphones.

Use five wild beasts to fill the prize pool?

No, that's impossible.

'If possible' could be considered a request, but Gono Kyoko obviously wouldn't say that.

While looking at the words, Tateno Souta suddenly came over and lowered his voice.

"Yuzhu, someone is looking for you."

who?

Who is disturbing me from memorizing words again!

Yuzumi Yu looked up and looked in the direction indicated by short-haired Tateno.

She has a fair face, charming peach blossom eyes, hair hanging down on both sides of her cheeks, tied in a bun, and a red striped bow, indicating her identity as a second-year student.

Today, the senior schoolmate was only wearing a white shirt, standing by the window and looking at him coquettishly.

trouble.

Yuzumi Yu jumped off the table and walked towards the back door of the classroom.

Where's Gono-san? Gono Kyoko was lying on the table, unconscious.

Yuzumi Yu felt that Ikema was lucky enough to avoid unnecessary disputes every time. Maybe next time he could ask her to help him draw his abilities.

"Senior, please lend me your hand, please!"

Ikema Maki's eyes followed the boy's movements, and she turned around as well. With her hands behind her back, she called out crisply, "Junior."

Under the senior sister's gray pleated skirt are two long white legs and small white socks...

Yuzumi Yu put his hands in his pockets, expressionless: "What's wrong, senpai?"

"Nice to meet you. My name is Maki Ikema, Class 2, Grade 1." A white hand reached out.

The young man lowered his eyes and saw some calluses on his hands from years of drawing the bow.

The senior sister works really hard.

Hand...Senior, please lend me your hand.

"Hello, Ikema-senpai, I'm Yuzumi Yu from Class 5, Grade 1." He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party.

The senior student's hands were a little warm, and I could feel the moisture on her palms.

However, he remembered that he called out "Ikema-senpai" last time, but didn't the senior respond?

"Hazumi-kun?" A rare questioning look appeared on the senior sister's cold and delicate face.

"You can call me that, Senior." In fact, there is no need to ask at all, as the lady calls me 'Ono-kun' naturally.

"Jun" is a name for peers, friends, or people of lower generations.

It is traditionally used mainly for men, but it can actually be used for women as well. For example, Yuzumi Yu can now call Ikema Maki 'Ikema-kun'. No, it seems that you can't call her that.

You should call him "Ikema-san". "San" is applicable to almost everyone, regardless of superiors or subordinates, or close relatives. It is a safe and polite universal name, formal but not intimate.

For now, the senior is his senior, so 'Jun' is not appropriate.

"Senior, what can I do for you?"

"I'd like to ask, after Yuzumi-kun and the others have paid off their debts and stopped working, would you be interested in joining the Kyudo Club?"

Souta Tateno was secretly observing the two people at the back door in the class.

One stood with his hands behind his back, and the other had his hands in his pockets.

Why did Ikema-senpai come to see Yuzumi?

He quickly turned his head to look at Wu Ye, who was still sleeping soundly, and cold sweat began to appear on his back.

Are we really going to start preparing black and white photos of Yuzumi?

Outside the back door, upon hearing what the senior said, Yuzumi Yu declined calmly, "No thanks, senior. I prefer a quieter club."

The boy's voice was flat, as if he was just reciting a passage verbatim.

My brother is so cold - Maki Ikema.

The tip of her nose felt a little sore, and she quickly turned her back to hide her slightly moist eyes.

Sure enough, being treated as a stranger still makes me uncomfortable, even though my brother was very gentle ten years ago.

The snow-white back of her neck was exposed in front of the boy, and Yuzumi Yu asked in confusion, "Senior?"

"It's okay." Ikema Maki sniffed, trying to keep her voice calm. She turned back and forced a rare smile. "I just wanted to ask if Yuzumi-kun knew about Kyudo before?"

Looking at the other person's slightly wet eyelashes, the boy's expression was calm.

This guy is still as crybaby as before. He cried when he fell, cried when they parted, cried after he found him, and now he is crying again.

Fortunately, the stuttering is gone?

When asked by the senior, do you know Kyudo?

"I'm sorry, senior, I don't understand, and I'm not interested in Kyudo either." The boy refused calmly and turned to leave. "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Wait a minute." Maki Ikema stretched out her hand and spoke anxiously.

The young man stopped at the back door and turned to look, "Senior, is there anything else?"

On a peaceful morning, students in the classroom were preparing for the last day of the sports festival. There were graffiti on the playground saying "Come on" to each class, and students were changing into their sportswear in the locker room.

The sky was as clear as the ocean, with huge clouds overlapping like cotton candy, floating slowly. The wind blew the music of the wind band that was still practicing hard in the morning, blowing through the corridor and lifting the hair on the girl's cheek.

The cool girl with beautiful eyebrows and eyes gradually curled her fingers and slowly withdrew her hand. "No, no, I'm just asking, Yuzumi-kun, if possible, please go to the Kyudo Club to experience it before making a decision."

The boy's refusal was too decisive and cold.

So this is just a final whisper, a symbolic ending without hope, to put an end to this invitation.

"System, did you do this on purpose?"

[The event is started by the host, the content is random, and what others say is decided by others]

[Agree/Reject]

silence.

It has come to this point, what reason does he have to refuse?

"Senpai...you are really lucky."

The young man lowered his eyes, then raised them again, and said calmly, "Since Senior Sister has warmly invited me, I have no reason to refuse."

He wasn't looking at his legs.

Ikema Maki's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Why do I feel like I've heard this somewhere before?

This scene also seems a bit familiar.

"Really, thank you for troubling me, Senior."

"No trouble."

The time is set at noon during today's sports festival.

I can't have dinner with Tateno and Furui anymore.

There was no longer any event for Yuzumi Yu in the morning sports festival, so he didn't need to change into his sportswear.

Back in the classroom, the boy stood behind his desk and was silent for a while.

[Emotion: 386]

Finally, he picked up the book, rolled it up, and hit Wuye, who was lying on the table, on the back with a "slap".

Not heavy.

Kyoko Gono was still asleep and soundly sleeping.

What did you do last night?

He goes shopping every night, is full of energy at school, and even works part-time.

He wondered if this was the last bit of heat left in his body. If he continued like this, would he die suddenly?

"Bang!" This time it got worse.

Kyoko Gono straightened up, took a deep breath, turned her head with a gloomy expression, and saw the young man standing behind her with a rolled-up notebook in his hand. His elegant eyes narrowed with murderous intent.

"You'd better give me an explanation."

"No explanation." That's the best explanation.

Wait, where did Gono-san get the baseball bat?

"Why are you running?" The baseball bat pointed at the boy who ran not far away.

"Kyoko, did you not get enough rest last night?" the young man asked with concern, his hands in his pockets.

"I know you still disturbed my sleep!"

"Feel sorry."

The baseball bat was put back into the schoolbag, and the elegant Gono girl continued to lie on the table.

Yuzumi Yu glanced at the emotion value.

[Emotion: 411]

good.

Kyoko Gono still feels very grumpy when she wakes up.

He has squandered all the wealth given by his senior, and now he has to start accumulating emotional points again.

Life is about saving and saving.

For example, I keep collecting Souta Tateno's CDs.

After the morning sports festival, Yuzumi Yu went to the senior's class with a lunch box. When the senior saw him, she also walked out with a lunch box.

They went to the courtyard, sat on the stone bench, and opened their lunch boxes.

There are also many classmates around.

After taking a look at Ikema-senpai's lunch box, Yuzumi Yu felt that it was right not to eat with Tateno and Furui.

"Do you want some?" The senior student picked up two pieces of salmon.

"Thank you very much." Polite? Polite for what? It was just like when Wu Ye gave him a chicken leg. He wouldn't be polite about this.

Moreover, the salmon meat is tender and its orange-red color is attractive, and it is obviously a top-quality product at first glance.

Maki Ikema carefully put the salmon into the boy's lunch box, and then picked up the remaining salmon.

"No need, senior sister, this is enough." Now you need to be polite.

"It's okay, I don't eat this."

"Really, no need."

After finishing their lunch, they went to the sink to wash the dishes.

"Give it to me." Senior Ikema reached out her hand.

"No need, senior sister, I can do it myself." He is not a disabled person.

After putting away their dishes, the two headed towards the archery field at the edge of the school.

Summer is coming soon, and both of them are wearing white shirts, the boy has a tie and the girl has a bow tie.

"Hazumi-kun, do you like reading pornographic books?" the senior student said abruptly.

Yuzumi stiffened.

Wait, how did she know... No, when had he ever read a pornographic book?

"If you like, I can help you collect them." Maki Ikema's words were very serious, without any hint of mockery, but Yuzumi Yu didn't hear it anyway.

After a long silence, the boy said, "Senior, you must have misunderstood me. I have never seen that thing before."

Also, why does senior sister speak so bluntly?

Ikema Maki gave him a slightly puzzled look, "Last time in the corridor, you were watching with those two boys."

Hazumi Yu: "..."

He needs to explain himself; his reputation cannot be damaged.

"Senior, that's Minami's photo album, not a pornographic book."

Also, didn't the senior look at them like they were trash last time? Why is she suddenly asking to help collect now? Is she so hypocritical...

"Who is Minami?" the senior was a little dazed.

"It doesn't matter."

"Do you like looking at photo albums?" the senior student asked again.

"...Senior." The boy said expressionlessly, "Can we please not talk about this anymore?"

"Okay, no need to talk."

The two of them came all the way to the archery field and walked in under the guidance of the senior.

While changing in the locker room, Yuzumi Yuu asked in a very cute tone, "Senior, how do I put on my clothes?"

There are certain rules for wearing hakama, and people who have never worn it might not know how to wear it, so the senior student didn't leave immediately and kept staring at him.

Stare~

The senior student came over, took the hakama from his hand, walked back a few steps and turned her back, "You should change your clothes first."

You don't need to take off your pants when wearing hakama.

"Senior, there's no need to change. I can just wear it directly."

"I'm giving it to you. Just take it back."

The senior said this as if the Kyudo Club was her family.

"...good."

Yuzumi Yu took off his shirt and put on white tube sleeves.

After the boy changed, the senior came over with the hakama (ku), "Put it on first. The one with five pleats is the front."

"good."

The hakama has pockets, it is not a skirt, and Yuzumi Yu put her legs into it.

There is no need to take off pants during the process.

Looking at the boy's somewhat clumsy way of dressing, Ikema tilted his head slightly, with some confusion in his eyes.

She was sure that this was her brother. Appearance might be deceiving, but the palpitations in her heart could not. The familiar feeling and the perfect overlap of the two figures after her memory returned made her certain.

But now... why is my brother so clumsy?

After the boy was dressed, she went over and squatted in front of him, took the belt around the hakama waist and tied it for him.

"Normally, you should learn etiquette before learning Kyudo, but Yuzumi-kun is here to experience it, so let's get started right away."

With her hands circling around the boy's waist, the senior student squatted down and walked behind him to tie a knot in his belt.

This scene inevitably reminded Yuzumi Yu of the first time he taught Kyudo and the scene when he was putting on hakama for the other person - there was no need to take off pants to put on hakama.

He said at that time that the five wrinkles represent benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness respectively.

He was the one who taught her Kyudo, but he didn't teach her the etiquette. However, he taught her the basics.

After putting on his clothes, Yuzumi Yu went out and waited for his senior to change and come out. Then the two of them walked towards the outside.

"Ikema-senpai."

"Ikema-san."

"Ikema Schoolgirl"

As we passed by the large shooting range in the middle, other members of the team greeted us.

There were still people in the Kyudo Club at noon.

Ikema-senpai looks very respected.

After walking past two large shooting ranges and reaching the edge, the senior student pushed open the door and the two of them walked in together.

The semi-open room here is much smaller and is a separate small shooting range.

The two of them knelt on the ground facing each other.

Ikema-san said softly, "You need to calm your mind before drawing the bow, Hanezumi-kun."

"How?" the boy asked.

"Sit upright."

"…"

The senior student stared at him with her charming peach blossom eyes without blinking.

"good."

"Then let's get started."

A few minutes later, when the boy's waist began to bend slightly, the senior student whispered, "Sit upright."

Yuzumi Yu straightened up.

"…"

Why does it feel like a boomerang hits me?

Yuzumi Yu could sit still for hours, but... obviously not now, he's a novice.

He had said it before - he didn't understand, wasn't interested...and also didn't want the other party to get in touch.

Is it useful?

Useful.

As long as he doesn't admit it, it's none of his business.

Could she force him to admit it?

It might be seen, but...if it is seen, she will understand.

If he is not seen, he is not her brother who is the best in the world.

It's a very simple truth.

She should understand.

It's a bit confusing, but not recognizing each other is the best option.

Where is your wife?

If the lady still remembered him, he wouldn't hide anything, but the guy was too smart and too sensitive - to details.

There's no point in hiding.

If you think too much, it's easy to get distracted when you sit upright.

I haven't sat upright for a long time.

Ikema-senpai, you are the first person in recent years to make me sit up straight.

Ten minutes later.

Yuzumi Yuu looked a bit distressed, "Senior, how long are you going to sit here?"

"Sit upright." The senior student said softly.

Another ten minutes.

I should have gone out to eat with Tateno and Furui, the incident started too early.

Sitting still was actually quite boring, and Yuzumi Yu felt that he didn't need to be quiet.

The main reason was that the senior sister's charming peach blossom eyes were always staring at him, her fair and pretty face, and cherry pink lips were as beautiful as cherry blossoms in April.

The stream flowing along the Yamanote Road to the Meguro River will be covered with large patches of pink and white, like a cherry blossom river, and the water on the petals is the senior sister's crystal clear lips now.

I'm distracted again…So I wasn't distracted last time because I couldn't see the face clearly?

"Senior..."

"Sit up straight." He said softly.

Senior sister is so gentle.

Oops.

Souta Tateno's game console has done a lot of harm to people.

In fact, it was difficult for Yuzumi Yu to connect the charming and cold senior in front of him with that little girl.

It's difficult.

First, I couldn't see his face clearly at that time. He didn't belong to that time and space. He was more like a passerby. If you say he had any feelings, he did, but if you say he didn't, actually he didn't.

There was only a blurry figure with a face in my mind.

He doesn't belong to that time and space.

But now, he is truly in this time and space, everything is clear, and he has a sense of belonging.

Second, there is a huge gap between the current senior schoolmate and that little girl.

The main difference is in appearance and figure. In a blink of an eye, such a big difference will make people feel unfamiliar. Personality is secondary. After all, appearance is the first thing you see.

Therefore, rather than being treated as a little girl, he prefers to treat her as a senior, which is also in line with the concept of "let bygones be bygones".

But after all, I was her master, and there are always some inexplicable feelings for me.

Let go of everything and stop thinking about it.

Maki Ikema stared at the boy, watching his eyes that were sometimes distracted and sometimes focused, and she was sure in her heart.

"Brother, you know me, you can't calm down."

As for being tempted by beauty, I have never thought about it, how could the best in the world be tempted by beauty?

"So, brother, it seems we are of the same mind."

The cold girl's eyes were inexplicable, and she couldn't calm down.

I have to say that my brother's appearance is very outstanding, so outstanding that you can't forget him after just one look at him.

Her brother's appearance had once made her defenseless against him, and this was even more so now.

What will the scene be like after they recognize each other?

Ikema couldn't help but think.

She called him brother. He was her teacher and the one who saved her life.

Then what?

Repay my brother.

Then what?

Her brother has his own life... He was just her former teacher. Their relationship might have only lasted eight days, which was deep enough for her, but for him, those eight days... included three days of exams.

Maki Ikema focused her scattered gaze and looked at the young man not far away.

He has clean and clear hair, bangs covering his eyebrows, indifferent eyes, a nice nose, nice lips, and a perfect face shape. Even with no expression on his face, he is still a perfect and beautiful boy.

Looking down, the Adam's apple... looks good.

"Gudong."

The boy raised his eyes and looked at her.

She had a blank expression on her face.

It's just that I seem to be wearing too many clothes, and it's a bit hot in this weather.

Adolescent girls don't dream about the most beautiful boy in the world, they just see him.

When a person is first immersed in the other person's outstanding appearance, as time goes by and they gradually get to know each other better, they may become sober about the other person's inner qualities. After all, appearance is first, talent is second, and character is third.

If you only have the initial appearance, then you can only stay at the beginning.

But when a person is immersed in the other person's inner qualities first, he or she will no longer be able to resist the other person's outstanding appearance.

This is a step backward.

Obviously I should be interested in appearance first before I start to understand.

But now it's the other way around.

The vines that had grown when they separated seemed to have received some kind of nourishment at this moment, growing rapidly and spreading uncontrollably.

When they separated, she had thought that it would be great if she could stay with her brother forever.

Now...

In Ikema Maki's charming eyes, there was only the figure of the young man sitting there.

'Brother, I don't want to be just a passer-by in your life.'

"If you don't want to admit it, I don't want to admit it either."

"I am no longer the little girl I once was. I am Maki Ikema."

"Please stop treating me like a little girl...Hazumi-kun."

The strength that Maki Ikema had when she was young never disappeared, but as time went by, she lost her temper and matured.

As the young man bent down again, she said calmly, "Sit upright."

Yuzumi Yu straightened up.

Why isn't my senior sister so gentle anymore?

The boy was in deep thought.

Was he acting too well? Had the other party already confirmed that he wasn't the world's number one brother?

After all, when it comes to appearance, there are still some similarities.

If the sword hadn't exposed him, he wouldn't have been in trouble.

"System, speak."

[...]

But why did the senior sister's staring gaze make him feel a little nervous?

I don't know, I don't understand, and I don't want to think about it.

The cat owner's perception allowed him to realize that some changes must have occurred in the other person.

Yuzumi Yu decided that from the end of this time until the next time he draws his ability, he would try his best to avoid the opponent.

Half an hour later, the sitting was over and the senior finally began to teach him archery.

Senior Ikema came closer, and the two of them were so close that he could smell the faint floral scent on each other.

Why does my senior sister have a nice floral scent?

Forget it, I don't know, I don't understand, and I don't want to think about it.

The senior student didn't even show me how to use the bow and arrow, she just helped Yuzumi Yu learn how to use the bow and arrow.

She held the boy's hand, bent his fingers, and corrected his movements.

"Senior, can't you show me how to do it? It's hard for me to pretend like this."

Because some subconscious habits or actions are really subconscious, they are muscle memory.

Logically, he wouldn't have been able to do it without the senior student's demonstration, but subconsciously, a certain way of holding and grabbing, was just... subconscious.

Because apart from this subconscious way of holding it, he didn't know how to hold it anymore.

Just like someone who knows how to use chopsticks cannot imitate the clumsiness of someone who doesn't know how to use chopsticks.

Lower your bow and draw it slowly."

"…"Senior, you didn't even demonstrate!

Forget it, never mind.

How did he draw the bow when he first learned to shoot?

Recalling and imitating, with a "whoosh" sound, the arrow flew out.

Ikema Maki watched from the side and said calmly, "You're still not at peace, Yuzumi-kun."

She has the dignity of a senior schoolmate.

Yuzumi Yu held the bow and looked at it. Actually, he didn't need to look, because the bow had just missed the target.

There's nothing I can do about it, he's just a newbie.

The senior student didn't demonstrate yet.

"You need to sit upright for a while." The senior student said in a light voice.

The boy said seriously, "Senior, I can do it."

"Then try again."

The arrow was handed to Yuzumi Yuu, who took it. He needed to adjust his breathing? No need, but his movements were pretty standard. After all, the senior didn't show him how.

"call out!"

This time I hit the target.

But the senior didn't seem very satisfied, "Let's continue sitting upright, Yuzumi-kun."

Now Yuzumi Yu still doesn't know what's going on, so he's not worthy of being Wu MAX - the senior is making things difficult for him!

But why did the senior sister make things difficult for him?

But - he really can't reveal it anymore, otherwise wouldn't his previous words be deceiving the senior?

Sit upright.

The two continued to sit upright.

"Hazumi-kun is very talented." The senior looked at him and said lightly.

"Really?" the boy asked doubtfully.

"Yes, you can hit a target that far away the second time." The senior student was still looking at him.

"Maybe I really have some talent."

"Hazumi-kun, do you know how many times I hit the target the first time?"

After thinking for a moment, the boy replied, "Twice?"

"After all, senior sister is very good at Kyudo now, she must be a very talented person." He added.

"I don't have any talent." The senior student shook her head. "It took me more than ten tries before I finally hit the target."

Yuzumi Yuu was stunned, "That's quite talented too."

"Oh? Is it considered talented to hit the target more than ten times?" The senior student was looking at him.

Yuzumi Yuu had a blank expression on his face.

Oops.

His agreement showed that he knew something about Kyudo.

If he didn't respond, it meant that he was just being perfunctory.

The young man lowered his eyebrows and said hesitantly, "I don't really understand, but since you're so good now, you must be talented."

"It's just practice day in and day out."

"This is also a kind of talent." The boy affirmed.

Persistence is also a talent.

Ikema Maki's eyes flickered.

In this world, what could be more satisfying than the affirmation of the person you have been pursuing?

The corners of her eyes were wet, and the girl blinked a few times, and her eyelashes also got wet.

"Senior?" the boy asked in confusion.

Why does this guy look like he's about to cry again?

"It's okay." Maki Ikema took a deep breath, tilted her head to look into the distance, and pursed her lips.

Hazumi Yu: "..."

Maki Ikema - the crybaby senior.

I sat there for another half an hour.

The afternoon sports festival is about to begin.

After shooting a few times, the two men left.

After changing his clothes, the boy held the white sleeves given to him by his senior.

"How was the experience, Yuzumi-kun?" the senior asked him.

Hazumi Yu: "..."

He was sitting upright the whole time and ejaculated a few times. What was the experience like?

If I ejaculate a few more times, the experience might be better... But, will you give it to me?

What he meant was that the senior liked to sit very much.

I like sitting together.

When he was sitting, the senior students would accompany him.

"I'm really not suitable for this kind of sports club." The boy replied.

"Is that so..." Ikema Maki murmured, then added, "Have you decided which club to join after you finish your part-time job?"

To be honest, I haven't thought about it yet.

"Does senior have any recommendations?" After asking, Yuzumi Yu felt that he had spoken too much.

"Kyudo Club." As expected.

"Besides the Kyudo Club?"

"Baseball club."

Miniskirt?... Isn't that Gu Jing's favorite? There's no need for him to steal Gu Jing's limelight.

By the way, is Furui popular in the baseball team?

"Anything else you recommend?"

"rugby."

Rugby? He speaks pretty good English.

Rugby club?

Does the school have such a club?

"Any other recommendations?"

"Sumo club."

"…" The boy was silent.

Why does the senior always recommend him clubs where beautiful girls are scarce?

"Let me think about it."

As they were about to part, Ikema Maki asked, "Will you come back to experience it tomorrow, Yuzumi-kun?"

"Thank you for your warm invitation, but I still prefer a quieter club."

"Okay, see you at the bookstore tonight."

"...Senior likes buying books?"

"I like it." Ikema Maki looked at him.

The young man smiled politely, as if paying a customer in a bookstore. "Thank you for visiting Chagu Bookstore again, Senior."

respectively.

Yuzumi Yu walked towards the playground.

At Class 5's location, he didn't see Kyoko Gono.

That's right, that guy had already moved the stool up there at some point.

Sitting down next to Tateno Souta, the boy looked at him and said, "Souta, are you playing in a public place like this?"

Li Ye looked up with a serious expression: "A real game console."

"If I hadn't played it last time, I would have believed it."

Time passed, and the three-day sports festival came to a successful conclusion.

I still go to work in the afternoon.

Sitting behind the counter, Yuzumi Yu was flipping through "Norwegian Wood".

I am really trying hard to cultivate my sentiments while working.

Soon, Ikema-senpai arrived, and soon after, Kusaka-san also arrived.

Looking at the two of them huddled together, one reading seriously and the other not, I thought that if I could bring Wu Ye over, the four of them would be just enough to play mahjong together.

He has a perverted memory and will use a sack to hold money, and at the same time, a sack to hold emotional value.

And all three of them are 'rich' level...

The night breeze blew outside, the temperature inside the bookstore was just right, and other guests were also reading quietly.

As expected, the senior student came to check out with a large pile of books. Checking out books is also a physical job.

There was no communication with Kusaka Haruna.

She is just a gentle and indifferent person.

Still very bad.

After getting home from get off work, Yuzumi Yu was lying on the bed in the middle of the night.

[Reward Pool: 100]

This is too difficult.

'If I open the event now, how much emotional value will it take?'

[10000]

This is too expensive.

Open the evolution level.

[Evolution: 2900]

It seems a bit much, but it's actually not much at all.

Currently only the finger gun can be upgraded, but it's not necessary.

"I want a transformation device."

[...]

If next month, Ikema-senpai can draw out the teleportation he has always wanted, he will hire her to be his professional lottery drawer.

——Help him draw the transformation device.

Thursday is the day when the grades are released.

Morning meeting at 8:30.

Rumiho entered the classroom and started handing out grades, which were small slips of paper with only her own grades on them.

Mandarin 3 (good), damn it.

Mathematics 5 (Excellent), as expected.

English 4 (Excellent), next time I will be a 'show'.

...

Final ranking: 29th.

As expected of a Thousand Cranes, so curly.

Almost fell out of the top 30.

Besides the fact that he had an exam just a few days after getting the Zhi award, he still wasn't working hard enough.

What about Kusaka-san? She's number one again, right? You'll see it when the rankings are posted in a few days.

Next time, the first place will be replaced.

"Enjoy your last chance at first place, Kusaka-san."
