Chapter 245 Watanabe and the Day of "Aonai"
Leaving the music classroom, we came to the human observation department.
As soon as we entered the room, before Koizumi Aonai sat down, Kiyono Rin pointed to the seat where Toru Watanabe used to be:
"Sit here."
"Koizumi Aona" glanced at the position where Kiyono Rin was pointing. That was the seat farthest from her.
"Am I hated?" asked Koizumi Aona.
If it were in the real world, she wouldn't say such a thing, but now she is using Toru Watanabe's body, and the time is ten years later. She has no scruples and will not think too much about doing things.
"Watanabe has been sitting there." Kiyono Rin explained simply.
"I see." Koizumi Aona nodded as if she suddenly understood.
She sat down in that position and put her schoolbag on the table: "You two are obviously very close, why are you sitting so far away?"
"Does it matter what you say or how far away you are?"
Without waiting for Koizumi Aonai to speak, Kiyono Rin said, "Let's start."
"That's great!" Koizumi Aona said expectantly, "I was thinking about the rest of the story while I was in class during the day."
Qingye Rin sorted out her thoughts a little and continued to tell the story of Watanabe Toru.
【Gymnasium brawl】
"How pitiful." "Koizumi Aona" looked reluctant, "Kiyono-san, why don't you help him?"
"At that time, I didn't have a good relationship with him."
"oh."
"Koizumi Aona" has a little understanding of Kiyono Rin's personality. She is extremely cold and indifferent to others!
But such a person was so scared by Watanabe Toru's departure that he showed such an expression. What happened afterwards?
Does this boy named Toru Watanabe have any other charm besides being handsome?
Kiyono Rin talked about [Revenge of the Literature Club, the midterm exam where grades decide everything].
Although Toru Watanabe is very pitiful, "Koizumi Aona" feels that it is very funny and wishes she was there at that time.
"What happened next? Watanabe won first place, and then made Kujo Miki his girlfriend and you his lover?" she asked.
Qing Ye Lin glanced at her and said, "That's all for today's story. There will be other training next."
“Why does it always stop when things are so exciting?”
"Wonderful?"
"It's very exciting!" Koizumi Aonai affirmed, "It's a club with one man and two women, and the name of the club is so weird. There are all kinds of strange events. It's just like a comic book!"
Kiyono Rin was the person involved in the incident and was one of the "perpetrators" who persecuted Watanabe Toru. At the time, I didn't feel anything exciting or different about it.
But looking back on it now, it’s really interesting.
Not only these, there are many more things that happened later, including the time during the New Year holiday when the four of them sat in the withered silver grass and debated "whether Watanabe Toru could sit upright", or when they were picking persimmons in between making rice cakes. Thinking about it now, it's all very interesting.
"Qiono-san, you look so beautiful when you smile, why don't you smile normally?"
Qing Ye Lin put away the smile that appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth and said expressionlessly:
"That's enough small talk. Next, you need to learn how to speak like Watanabe."
"Do you have to learn how to speak?"
Kiyono Rin ignored Koizumi Aona's surprised and puzzled expression. She glanced at the windowsill, where there was a plastic bottle that could be seen everywhere.
In the plastic bottle were the red roses that Toru Watanabe had placed in the activity room that morning.
She pointed at the red rose with her slender white finger and said:
"I asked Watanabe to put this red rose here. If Kujo Miki said to you, 'Roses are beautiful,' what would you say?"
“Hmm——” Koizumi Aona crossed her arms and started thinking.
Two seconds later, Qing Ye Lin interrupted her thoughts: "Too slow, Watanabe would not have thought for so long unless he was pretending to be stupid."
“I’m not number one in the country.”
"This is not just a matter of IQ..." Qing Ye Lin said halfway and sighed, "Forget it, Watanabe is cunning and treacherous, and it is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people."
"Cunning and cunning?"
"If he relied on his handsomeness, gentleness and other unworthy things, he would have been dealt with by Kujo Miki from the beginning. However, Watanabe Toru not only stayed with that woman all day, but also made her obedient. He relied on cunning and treachery."
After a pause, Qing Ye Lin asked:
"How would Toru Watanabe respond to what I just said?"
"Eh?" Koizumi Aona didn't respond. "Aren't we discussing whether he is cunning or not?"
"He would say: 'The wit of the words varies from person to person. Are you prejudiced against me? Do you love me? Do you like me? Do you want to leave me?'"
『Koizumi Aonai』 couldn't help but say: "Cunning and cunning is obviously a derogatory word, why is it 'love, like, and can't bear to leave'?"
"This is Toru Watanabe."
"Koizumi Aona" woke up.
"Is he shameless?" she asked.
"Very much." Qingye Rin replied.
◇
The next day, early morning of April 5th.
On the way to school in spring when the cherry blossoms were about to fall, Toru Watanabe said to Rin Kiyono:
"You are cunning and shameless. May I ask if I have offended you in any way, Miss Qingye?"
"Ah, you're not going to call me Big Sister today?" Qingye Rin gave a mocking smile.
"Stop playing dumb! You know that's not me!"
"But it was you who shouted."
"Well...I guess so." Toru Watanabe had to admit this fact.
"Onee-sama." Qing Ye Lin repeated the word and sighed, "I didn't expect that Mr. Koizumi would have such a personality when he was young."
"It's abnormal to always maintain the personality of a sixteen-year-old. Also, for someone like you, Kiyono-sama, girls will worship and admire you. No, it should be said that everyone will yearn for you, regardless of age or gender."
"You too?" Qingno Rin turned her head and looked at Watanabe Toru.
Although they had the same face, he now made her feel closer and more pleasing to the eye.
"I have a bolder idea." Watanabe Toru turned his head and looked at her, "Do you want to hear it?
"Tell me about it." Qingye Rin looked forward again.
The steep slope is still the same as it was at the beginning of the first year of high school. Even the time when the cherry blossoms fall and the location where the petals accumulate have not changed.
But what was she doing one year ago today, on April 5th?
I'm not used to this long uphill road yet, and I take every step breathlessly.
At that time, Toru Watanabe was probably surrounded by groups of boys, walking past her while laughing and joking.
Based on the conversation between the two when they first met, he was probably indifferent when he walked past her, unlike other boys who stole glances at her.
As for herself, no matter whether they are boys or girls, as long as they are human beings, they are not in her sight.
Today, a year later, the two are walking together, and they have gradually gotten used to the uphill road and it is no longer long.
"Of course I will worship you as a god." Watanabe Toru's voice came to my ears.
"This isn't your actual bold idea , is it?" Qingye Rin said firmly.
"So what do you think my bold idea is?"
"You know it well enough."
"I don't know."
As they approached the school gate, Qing Ye Lin said, "A lie."
The first class on Wednesday was modern Chinese, and Koizumi Aona fell asleep just a few minutes after she arrived.
Kiyono Rin watched as Toru Watanabe's head moved slowly. After a while, he raised his head again, pretended to turn his neck and looked back, and blinked his right eye at her - at this time, it was already Toru Watanabe.
Kiyono Rin looked at Watanabe Toru's eyebrows coldly without blinking.
After Watanabe Toru got bored and turned around, she lowered her head to take notes and smiled slightly.
This is probably what those who expect to be in the same class with someone imagine will happen.
After receiving a cold stare from Kiyono Rin, who said "I like you a lot too" (I think so), Watanabe Toru picked up the mechanical pencil he had just bought and wrote something in his notebook.
…
"Koizumi Aona" woke up mumbling.
I fall asleep during the day and wake up in the middle of the night. What’s the point of living like this?
After cheering herself up a little, she looked up at the blackboard, then looked down at the desk.
"Um?"
There was an additional paragraph for her in the notes.
【Sixteen-year-old Aonai Koizumi:】
【Welcome to the future. 】
A letter from Toru Watanabe?
"Koizumi Aona" read on.
[Having my body taken away by someone is not a fun experience, but I want to thank you for showing my difference so unscrupulously and becoming the same kind as the cold, unkind, and picky Kiyono-san.]
Unbridled display of difference? Is there something wrong with this person?
Also, you said that Kiyono Rin was cold, unkind, and likes to find fault, and Kiyono Rin said that you were shameless, treacherous and cunning. What kind of husband-and-wife crosstalk are you two performing?
[In this case, I don’t mind being occupied, but to be honest, no matter how much I love him, my K-san’s temper is hard to describe as good.]
[But she is super cute. She looks slender, but she is very comfortable to hug. I want to hug her three times every day. ]
You seem to love your girlfriend very much...then you should be more loyal!
Also, you don’t have to write down how many times you hug someone a day!
【Let’s get back to business.】
Please stick to business.
[My Meiji, she is competitive (towards Kiyono) and possessive of others (mainly me). ]
[So, for the sake of your future self, the 25-year-old Aonai Koizumi, my favorite teacher Koizumi, I have a few small requests regarding your use of my body.]
Request? "Koizumi Aona" continue reading.
[1. You cannot smile at anyone other than Kiyono Rin, Kujo Miki, and Asuka Mai;]
Agree, I've seen the power.
【Second, don’t touch men, let alone women;】
I wouldn’t want to touch a guy, and neither would a girl—except my future self.
【3. Don’t help me take a bath;】
Who's going to wash it for you? Do it yourself, little brat!
【Fourth, exercise in moderation.】
Why? Heart disease? Any other compelling reason?
[Although it is a small request, please try your best to meet it. 】
[As long as you can do one, two, and three, even if Meiji finds out, I have a way to deal with it. I will definitely not let her hurt you, Teacher Xiao Xiaoquan, even though the process may be painful and tormenting.]
Who is suffering? Who is tormented? Please explain it clearly.
【Finally, it’s a rare opportunity to come to Tokyo and the future, so please enjoy yourself. 】
I would do the same without you telling me.
【From Monday to Friday, experience life at a prestigious private school in Tokyo. 】
[If you encounter any trouble, find Qing Ye Lin. If you really can't, just take a nap and let me do it. ]
Same as above.
[However, the person who dared to cause trouble to me in Shenchuan is not someone worth mentioning unless I brag about it.]
So powerful?
[Except Kiyono, except Miki, except Mr. Koizumi. 】
Forget about Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki, but putting me here together will cause misunderstanding!
"Koizumi Aona" is a little doubtful about her future self.
She kept saying that it was just the teacher's love for the student, was she hiding something? Could she be one of his lovers?
Qingnai, you must not become such a woman in the future!
Just avoid Tokyo.
【At night , you can go to various places in Tokyo and eat various things. 】
[How about going out with your future self on Saturday and Sunday? 】
Great idea! And you can spend your own money!
【Go to Hakone, soak in the hot springs, and watch the clouds passing by on the top of the twin mountains;】
[Go to Chiba Prefecture and have fun at Tokyo Disneyland - tear it up after you finish reading it, or else the residents of Chiba Prefecture might protest. I plan to be the Prime Minister in the future.]
Huh? Prime Minister?
[I wonder what your dream is now? Well, it seems useless because you will definitely become a female teacher in the future. ]
...I will not succumb to fate!
[There are many other places, such as Kamakura, Izu, Karuizawa...]
[You came at a bad season. In May and June, you can go to Kamakura to see the hydrangeas and roses. In July and August, you can go to Karuizawa to escape the summer heat. In April, there seems to be nothing except the cherry blossoms that are everywhere. ]
[It doesn’t matter. You in the future, Aina Koizumi now, drive out with friends every week for shopping and short trips, and travel around Tokyo all year round.]
I envy myself so much.
【Please cherish your remaining two years of country life. 】
You don’t have to cherish it, please just let it go quickly.
[Just use my money. Oh, and remember to use the card that looks weird.]
No, I will use my own money.
[Nice to meet you, Toru Watanabe]
See? Do you know what I look like?
Until the end of get out of class, "Koizumi Aona" read the letter over and over again.
In terms of physical distance, the two were closer than anyone else, but this was the first time she had received a message from the boy named Watanabe in three days.
She speculated on Toru Watanabe's "appearance" based on the choice of words and the emotions expressed in the sentences.
A friendly looking guy who seems to have a close relationship with his future self.
The second period was English class. After staring at herself in class with admiration for a while, she took out a pen and decided to "write back" to Toru Watanabe.
[Watanabe-san:]
[Hello, I am 16-year-old Aina Koizumi, thank you for your letter. ]
【First of all, I apologize for using your body and money without permission, but I thought it was a dream at first, even though it was very real. 】
[But please don't worry, I will use my own money in the future. ]
[As for the body, based on the fact that I only lost one month , I guess that the situation where I occupy your body may last until the end of April.]
[I saw the sentence you wrote, 'You came at a bad season', do you know some inside information about this matter? ]
【If you can, please tell me. 】
[Sixteen-year-old Koizumi Aona who doesn’t really want to see you]
"Koizumi Aona" was embarrassed to directly ask the other party whether he could see what he saw or feel what he felt, so he used "I thought it was a dream at first" to implicitly tell the other party not to get entangled in these trivial matters!
After writing the letter, she found a comfortable position and began to sleep.
As for myself on the podium, there is no need to worry at all.
"Koizumi Aona" went over to check the time, and after ten minutes, she fell asleep again.
Open your eyes and turn to a new page in your notes.
【Sixteen-year-old Aonai Koizumi:】
【I know a lot about this matter. 】
[The unwelcome Toru Watanabe]
What the hell! If you know, just say it!
"Koizumi Aona" picked up the pen and turned the page of her notes.
[What the hell! If you know, just tell me! — Is that what you wanted to say? ]
This guy! How dare he play tricks on the teacher!
"Click!" Koizumi Aona exerted force on her hand, and the mechanical pencil that Watanabe Toru had just bought from Shibuya came to an end within four days of school starting.
