Chapter 50 So, Watanabe Toru confessed in the courtyard
Toru Watanabe saw the Imperial Palace flashing by outside the car window halfway through the journey , and it seemed that the destination was Chiyoda Ward.
The Imperial Palace is a landmark building in Chiyoda Ward. The area open to tourists only requires an appointment and does not require tickets. Toru Watanabe, who had just arrived in Tokyo and had no money, went there once.
After passing the Imperial Palace, the car turned several corners and entered a large courtyard-style villa.
To build a courtyard villa like this in this political, economic and cultural center, in an extremely special location, Watanabe Toru felt that he had to conquer ten thousand beautiful jewels.
Of course, there are also situations where you only need to conquer one person, and that is Kujo Miki herself.
The courtyard is filled with the green pines and cypresses that the Japanese love, as well as various flowers whose scientific names cannot be told. There is also a man in black who looks like a bodyguard, just like in the movies.
When seeing the bodyguard, Toru Watanabe thought of the incident with Ochanomizu, and that Kujo Miki might not be living a comfortable life.
After the car stopped, four people got out. The bodyguards did not line up in two rows in an exaggerated manner, but they also bowed to this side at their respective posts.
When he walked into the villa gate, Toru Watanabe actually saw the maid!
It's not the aesthetic type in Akihabara, but the traditional black and white combination, with the whole body wrapped tightly.
Watanabe Toru, who was born into a socialist family grew up in the countryside where the bus only runs every two hours in this life, had never seen such a scene before, and for a moment his eyes could not help but glance at the maid.
"It's decided. After they win first place in the school, the first thing they will wear is a maid costume!"
Just as I was daydreaming, a maid came over and said, "Sir, please follow me."
"Oh, okay." Toru Watanabe guessed that he was going to have a physical examination - that's how it was played in the movies.
"No need, let him in." said Kujo Miki, who was walking in front .
Toru Watanabe noticed that the maid in front of him, no, not only her, but also Jingliu and the other maids, all showed obvious surprise.
Watanabe Toru smiled gently at the maid: "I'm sorry, but I am someone she trusts absolutely."
Miki Kujo snorted without comment, but there was still a hint of contempt in her voice, as well as disdain for Watanabe Toru's cheap joke.
The maid already looked silly.
I don't know whether she was mesmerized by Watanabe Toru's smile, or shocked by the relationship between Watanabe Toru and Kujo Miki, or both.
After entering the villa, Kujo Miki left alone, and another maid led Watanabe Toru and Kiyono Rin to the living room.
"Kiyono-san, what's going on?" Watanabe Toru didn't believe that he really had to meet his parents.
"You'll find out if you keep reading." Qing Ye Lin replied uninterestedly, then turned to look at Watanabe Toru, "What's your relationship with Kujo Miki?"
Without waiting for Watanabe Toru to speak, she turned back and said, "Forget it, I'm not interested in these either."
"You're not interested, yet you're asking!"
Qing Ye Lin put his hand on his chin and pretended to be thoughtful as if playing a prank: "It seems that I need to be closer to you in front of Kujo Miki in the future."
"I'm sorry, I have an attitude problem."
As the two of them talked, they walked into the living room. Watanabe Toru had a sense of spaciousness as if he was walking into an independent space, which showed how tall and wide the living room was.
Not to mention the interior decoration, you can tell it is not cheap just by looking at the appearance. Among them, a huge portrait is the most eye-catching.
The person in the portrait has a dignified appearance, wears a gorgeous and noble kimono, and holds a folding fan in his hand.
Toru Watanabe had seen this person in a book.
Setsuko Kujo, Empress of Emperor Taisho and mother of Emperor Showa.
"After we wipe out the Kujo family, will this really be the end of the matter?" Watanabe Toru looked at the portrait.
Kiyono Rin and Watanabe Toru sat opposite each other at a long table, and a maid served them tea and exquisite snacks.
Watanabe Toru had been exercising a lot recently and was already hungry. He ate without any hesitation and drank tea when he felt thirsty.
Perhaps because of his bold movements, he always felt that the maid standing quietly beside him was secretly watching him.
But it could also be because he is handsome.
He is indeed very handsome.
After eating three cookies and a piece of cake, Watanabe Toru felt a little sick when another person came into the living room.
She was a woman in her thirties, wearing delicate makeup and looking very capable.
Thanks to the fact that he had been observing Kujo Miki's expression recently, Watanabe Toru noticed that there was a hint of surprise in the other person's eyes when she saw him in his school uniform.
Are all these upper-class people or those who serve the upper-class people unworldly?
Although he is very handsome.
This alone is beyond doubt.
"Xiao Lin." The person called Qingye Lin like this, and then sat next to Qingye Lin.
"Yeah." Qingye Rin nodded emotionlessly.
Watanabe Toru looked back and forth at the two of them, but he was not interested in asking about things that others did not want to talk about. He said to the maid beside him, "Please bring something salty."
The maid said nothing, bowed slightly, and left quietly.
The thirty-something woman's eyes were filled with surprise again. She smiled and said to Watanabe Toru, "I am Seino Satoko, the executive director of Seino Group. May I ask who you are?"
"Me? An ordinary high school student from Kamikawa High School, but I'm destined to be great, Toru Watanabe."
"It's redundant to say that the future is destined to be great." After changing into casual clothes, Kujo Miki slowly walked into the living room, and Jingliu still followed her like a shadow.
"Meiji, do you think I am already amazing now? I am so touched!"
As soon as Watanabe Toru finished speaking, Kiyono Rin on the opposite side laughed unceremoniously.
When the word "Meiji" came out of Watanabe Toru's mouth, the maid not far away and Kiyono Riko in front of him all showed obvious shock.
Kujo Miki herself ignored him and sat directly on the main seat.
The simple yet exquisitely crafted white dress brought out her perfect figure. Her bust was full, her waist was just the right thickness, and her legs had the beautiful curves that all women dream of.
Her beauty is so attractive that even women can be attracted to her.
"Begin," she ordered.
Seino Riko nodded, took out a lot of documents from her briefcase, and then started to use all kinds of unfamiliar words that Watanabe Toru could not understand.
Every time Kujo Miki said something, Kiyono Riko would look at Kiyono Rin, and only after Kiyono Rin nodded would she continue with a sense of relief.
"Very good, I, Watanabe Toru, am willing to call you "Lie Detector Machine Rin." " Watanabe Toru said in a bored tone, feeling that he still had a lot to learn.
Fortunately, the maid who brought salty snacks to Watanabe Toru came back halfway, so he was not left idle.
But when he was eating, Kujo Miki scolded him again.
"Just be quiet."
"This snack is very crispy. There's nothing I can do about it."
Then came the murderous look from Kujo Miki, and Watanabe Toru had no choice but to surrender, give up eating snacks, and continue to listen to the two of them talking about things he couldn't understand at all with a headache.
This world is still too far away for him. He is still learning Spanish, although learning Spanish by himself is also a great thing.
The meeting lasted a full two hours.
"You stay here." Miki Kujo said to Toru Watanabe, then left the living room alone.
Toru Watanabe made the most malicious guess, thinking that she must have gone to the toilet and must have been holding it in for a while.
On the other side, Kiyono Rin and Kiyono Riko left the villa and left the spacious courtyard.
"What is the relationship between the young man named Toru Watanabe and the eldest daughter of the Kujo family?" asked Seino Riko.
"Who knows?"
"Since Kujo Miki moved in, no man has entered." Kiyono Riko looked back at the villa, then looked at Kiyono Rin: "Rin, can you find out the relationship between the two?"
"This is not within my scope of responsibility. Goodbye." After saying this, Qingye Rin turned and left.
"Xiao Lin, I'll take you there."
"No."
After returning here, after a short wait, Watanabe Toru finally saw Kujo Miki again, who had changed her clothes.
The two of them started eating dinner.
"Do you eat at this time every day?" He cut a piece of beef with a knife and fork and stuffed it into his mouth.
Although I don't know what kind of beef this is, the fat has a very low melting point and can melt instantly with just the temperature of your mouth.
Watanabe Toru felt as if fat was exploding in his mouth, it was so delicious that for a few seconds he felt that getting on the car today was not a completely stupid thing to do.
"Let's see when things are done." Compared to Watanabe Toru's enjoyment, Kujo Miki seemed to be uninterested and was eating just for the sake of eating.
Thinking about how she was always sleeping, it seemed like she wasn't having a easy life... But that had nothing to do with Toru Watanabe, and he wouldn't have any sympathy at all.
He took a sip of juice: "Actually, I have something to talk to you about today."
"Um?"
Watanabe Toru cleared his throat without making a sound: "What should I do to make you willing to get back together with me?"
The living room was originally very quiet, but the silence after this sentence was like a silent mourning hall.
"Do you like me?" asked Miki Kujo with a smile.
"Of course, you are beautiful, you have nice legs, and your family is rich. To be honest, my original goal was to pass the civil service exam, and then let taxpayers support me for the rest of my life, and live a leisurely life."
"You can now, too."
"I am the eldest son of the Watanabe family. I must get married and have children, but you won't allow me to be with other women, will you, Miki?"
Miki Kujo put down the knife and fork in her hand and supported her beautiful chin with both hands.
She looked at Toru Watanabe and said, "Of course, you can forget about it in your lifetime."
"Look, in this case, the only way for me is to be with you."
"That won't work either." Kujo Miki kept smiling, "Even if you're with me, you have to marry into my family and change your last name to Kujo."
"Surnames are feudal and unacceptable. They don't matter at all." Watanabe Toru, who had just advocated that 'the eldest son must carry on the family line', said seriously.
Kujo Miki smiled and said without comment: "Really?"
"And we can have four children like Emperor Taisho and Empress Kujo did. I will be satisfied if one of them has the last name Watanabe."
"Hmm..." Miki Kujo made a nasal sound as if she was interested.
"Besides, I have a first-rate appearance, and my skills can protect you at any time. The key is that I am also very smart and never slack off in my efforts. I can't help you share the work, but at least I won't hold you back."
"Yes." Kujo Miki nodded, "Go on."
"Well, well..." Watanabe Toru racked his brains and finally thought of something. "Miji, if you find someone who is of equal status, the other party will inevitably covet the power and property of the Kujo family, but I won't. I came from the countryside and have no background. No one will support me."
"Didn't you say that you have a smart brain and work hard without slacking off? What if you take the opportunity to seize power when I give birth to four children for you?" Kujo Miki said with a smile.
Watanabe Toru puffed out his chest and said, "I am confident in my determination to live a lazy life. I study to enrich myself, not to gain something from it."
Kujo Miki held her face with her hands and listened to him. She played with her four fingers on her delicate white face like playing the piano: "Okay, I'll give you a chance."
"real?"
"I read a light novel a few days ago. In it, the hero confessed his love to the whole school during the exam in order to prevent the heroine from disappearing. The exam happens to be tomorrow. If you do this, I will consider it."
"Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai"... There's no mistake, it's this light novel.
If Toru Watanabe remembered correctly, Miki Kujo was not interested in light novels or comics, and she only flipped through the comics and novels in the club classroom.
So this paragraph can definitely be found by just turning to any page.
But at this moment, the image that popped up in Watanabe Toru's mind was not the pig-headed boy who was excited about the bunny girl senior, but Qi Tongwei who was half a step ahead of heaven and committed suicide by swallowing a gun.
On the playground of Handan University, in front of all the teachers and students of the school, he knelt down and proposed to Liang Lu, a teacher who was ten years older than him, in exchange for a rapid career in politics.
And now, Toru Watanabe is also going to use the same method to gain the power of revenge.
However, after confessing in front of all the teachers and students in the school, he would not be expelled from school. But how could he win over the other three girls in the same school?
This is a rather tricky question.
'Are you afraid of this little hardship? It's nothing! Watanabe, you have worked hard until now, and you are a guy who can do great things. Even if you will encounter more difficult setbacks in the future, you must not be restrained by it! You must have the confidence to accomplish anything! You must believe that you are destined to be great!'
"Okay." Watanabe Toru agreed.
That day, Toru Watanabe returned to his rental house safely, except that there was another pair of worn stockings in the closet.
Considering that Kujo Miki might have a new pair of socks every day, he had reason to believe that she treated him as a trash can.
The next day, May 29th, was the first day of midterm exams.
The joint examination of the three schools covers the entire scope of the college entrance examination, but there are still differences in difficulty among the three grades.
Since there is no division between arts and sciences in the first year of high school, students are allowed to make their own choices and can change them at will before the second year of high school.
In addition to the content, the examination arrangements are also strictly in accordance with the college entrance examination system.
The senior year of high school even borrowed the university examination venue, which is the real college entrance examination site.
For a few of them, when the unified college entrance examination is taken in mid-January next year, their examination site may very likely be the same university they are attending today, and the classroom and even the seat may be the same.
As the Great Gatsby says, not everyone has the same advantages.
Those schools that are still learning freshman knowledge, those schools that don’t have midterm exams, their students should now be enjoying a happy high school life.
However, in the examination hall that will determine their future lives, they are faced with students with educational conditions like those of Kamikawa High School.
All that is left for them are direct employment, junior colleges, and third-rate private schools with expensive tuition fees.
The nine imperial universities were an unattainable dream for them.
On the way to school, you can see students holding textbooks and studying hard everywhere.
During the morning meeting, Koizumi Aona repeatedly reminded everyone about exam discipline and then encouraged everyone.
After the class meeting, she called Watanabe Toru over alone.
"Are you confident?"
"I've got the first place."
Koizumi Aona smiled and said, "Do you want Kiyono-san to be your girlfriend, or Kujo-san?"
"I want them all!" Watanabe Toru said this with full confidence, but he was only four points sure in his heart.
Given the personalities and IQs of Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki, are they the kind of people who would lose easily?
This absurd bet, from the moment Watanabe Toru decided to become the "Tokyo Handsome Guy", had already been decided to be a game between three people within the Human Observation Department.
"You." Koizumi Aona helplessly knocked Watanabe Toru's head with the lesson plan, "Do your best."
"Well, please rest assured, teacher."
Watanabe Toru selected the liberal arts subject. The first subject was "Island History" and "Geography", with a total score of 100 points. The exam time was from 9:30 to 11:40.
Coincidentally, I was tested on the topic of "The Dispute over the Four Northern Islands".
Watanabe Toru laughed at Kiyono Rin in his heart, and his self-confidence swelled rapidly.
"Sure enough, as long as I want, fate will definitely be on my side."
This will be the key point that causes Kiyono Rin to lose the bet, and her Waterloo from the altar of "the best in the school" - Watanabe Toru firmly believes so.
At 10:47, Watanabe Toru finished all the work and spent another 15 minutes checking it again to confirm that he would get full marks if he was the one grading the papers.
At eleven and two minutes past ten, he raised his hand.
The invigilator came over. He recognized this famous man and said, "Watanabe-san, what's wrong?"
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"Well, go ahead."
Toru Watanabe walked out of the classroom and came to a very quiet corridor, so quiet that he could even hear the sounds of writing in the examination room.
I went down the stairs and came to the first floor. I put a 100 yen coin into the vending machine and bought a bottle of purified water.
After moistening his throat and throwing the bottle into the trash can, Toru Watanabe slowly walked to the courtyard surrounded by school buildings.
Standing in position, Watanabe Toru took a deep breath, tilted his neck and roared.
"I'm Toru Watanabe from Class 4, Grade 1. I'm a guy who's destined to be great in the future!"
"Now, listen to me!"
The entire school building was suddenly in chaos, and then the invigilators' voices of "Silence!" and "Maintain discipline in the exam room, or you will be treated as cheating!" could be heard from the windows of each classroom.
"Miki Kujo from Class 2, Grade 1!"
"I like you--!"
The school building was filled with noise again, and the volume of the invigilator's scolding suddenly increased.
The students whose examination seats were near the windows poked their heads out, and a teacher who was patrolling the school walked quickly towards the atrium.
"I swear to Kamikawa High School, to Yotsuya Station, and to everyone!"
"Meiji, I love you the most!"
"Please date me--!!!"
Summer has really arrived. After just a few shouts, Watanabe Toru was already sweating all over.
The midday sun was so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.
