Chapter 58 The girl who loves her walks into the activity classroom
Toru Watanabe followed Miki Kujo out of the school. When they passed the baseball field, Kunii Osamu, who was taking a break, ran over to say hello.
He first glanced at the stunningly beautiful Miki Kujo, and then punched Toru Watanabe on the chest.
"I really envy you for having a girlfriend as beautiful as Kujo-san!"
"Superficial." Watanabe Toru said proudly, "You only see Miki's appearance, not her essence."
Once you see her true nature, you won’t even have time to run away... Just think about this in your mind.
"Where are you going? Is the club activity over?"
"Well, how should I put it? Meiji wants to play a little game with me, you know..."
"Who allowed you to stop?" Miki Kujo turned around, grabbed Toru Watanabe's ear, and walked towards the oak tree at the school gate.
Watanabe Toru said to Kunii Osamu who looked envious: "Did you see that? Jealousy and henpecked are what I like most about her. It hurts, it hurts, Miki, be gentle!"
Kunii Osamu was so jealous that he raised his bat and made a full swing gesture to Watanabe Toru.
But he certainly didn't expect that Watanabe Toru was really in pain.
Only after being pulled by the ear all the way to behind the oak tree did Kujo Miki let go of Watanabe Toru.
"I'm going abroad for the next period of time."
"Eh——?" Toru Watanabe made a regretful sound while rubbing his red ears.
'Freedom! It's wonderful!'
Miki Kujo raised her index finger and poked it unceremoniously on the nose of Toru Watanabe, who was almost unable to control his smile.
"You'd better be careful. If I find out again which girl you're close to..." She didn't say the rest of the sentence, but just showed a bloodthirsty sneer.
"Well, let's make a deal. I won't interact with other girls, and you can't interact with other boys." Watanabe Toru said this just to show that he cared about her.
Kujo Miki was stunned for a moment, then she withdrew her hand, put her face close to Watanabe Toru's, and teased with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm yours."
"Well, that's good." Watanabe Toru leaned back slightly, increasing the distance between them.
He had a bit of trouble controlling his almost sixteen year old body.
"Here."
"What is this?" Toru Watanabe took the card she handed over.
"From now on, you must spend more than 1 million yen every month."
"Huh? Why? I don't need that much! And I'm a student, I don't have anywhere to spend money."
"This is your business." Kujo Miki stood up straight. "One million yen is just the beginning. There will be more in the future. Change your mindset of taking money too seriously as soon as possible. You don't think that as my man, you only need to stay in school and study for exams, right?"
"You want to take me into the so-called upper society? Like a high-class dance? Or go with you to discuss business?" These were all Toru Watanabe could think of.
Kujo Miki neither confirmed nor denied it, she just sneered and said, "You'd better pray that you don't embarrass me."
"..." Watanabe Toru looked at the card in his hand, "I'd better return the card to you. I really don't need so much money. And what if I develop a habit of spending money lavishly and waste more of your money in the future, or if I have no money to spend after we break up?"
Looking at Watanabe Toru's serious expression, Kujo Miki smiled contemptuously.
"You can only spend as much as I tell you to. Don't think too much about what to do after the breakup. You won't have to worry about money then."
"Don't worry about money? You mean the breakup fee will be a lot, right?"
"Guess?" Under the lush green branches of the oak tree, Miki Kujo revealed a devilish smile.
The next day, Kujo Miki took another long vacation and disappeared from Kamikawa High School just like in April.
Somewhere in the world, she uses her extraordinary intelligence and superb means, either overt or covert, to deal with things that most high school students would never even think of in their entire lives.
This is also the last day of the reunion activities with Tamamo Yoshimi.
Watanabe Toru gave up.
Given Kujo Miki's desire for control, she would definitely send someone to monitor him.
For his own sake and for the safety of the innocent Tamamo Yoshimi, giving up is the right choice.
We only have one life, whether it is his or someone else's, it should be cherished.
Like the last-place protagonist in a hot-blooded comic, rushing forward regardless of the consequences is not something that someone like Toru Watanabe, who has always been ranked third in the school and first in liberal arts, would do.
It was as if time had suddenly gone back to before the Ochanomizu incident, and Watanabe Toru resumed his stable high school life.
Apart from being occasionally teased about his girlfriend by his classmates and being ignored by Tamamo Yoshimi in the corridor, his biggest worry is how he is going to complete the task of spending one million yen every month.
And so it was Friday, and it was another day to go to the activity classroom.
"Watanabe, do you want to go to the arcade together after the event?" After the last get out of class, while packing up his schoolbag, Saito Keisuke made the invitation.
"Okay. By the way, do you two want to go swimming with me?"
"swim?"
"In the gym, just play."
"Do you want to become a member?" asked Kunii Osamu.
"No, there are disposable ones."
"Okay then, after playing at the arcade, we'll go swimming and then have dinner together!"
Going out to play for a while on Friday night is a daily routine for most high school students, and Toru Watanabe, who never slacks off, is no exception.
Which type of person is smarter, the one who plays while everyone else is playing but studies well at the same time, or the one who studies well but doesn't play?
Of course the latter.
Toru Watanabe believes that he is undoubtedly the smartest of the smart.
Picking up his packed schoolbag, Toru Watanabe left the classroom and walked towards the club building.
The windows in the corridor are covered with water droplets. The rainy season, which has been covering Tokyo from Okinawa all the way north, is expected to last until July this year.
Open the sliding door of the activity classroom.
"This is," Toru Watanabe looked at the strange girl sitting at the beech table, "a new member?"
The girl stood up and bowed slightly: "Hello, Watanabe-san, I'm Aoi Ichimoku from Class 3, Grade 1. I have something to ask of the Human Observation Department."
Is there really anyone who believed those flyers that said "pay a large sum of money to have a child"?
"Oh." Watanabe Toru nodded, "Hello."
After saying hello, he walked to the beech table and sat down at his seat.
When I was about to put on my headphones to practice my Spanish listening, I saw that there was no tea in front of Ikki Aoi.
He thought about it and decided that since he was a guest, he stood up and walked to Kujo Miki's tea cabinet.
"Is black tea okay?"
"Ah? Well, thank you." Ikki Aoi replied quickly.
Watanabe Toru boiled some water and poured a cup for himself and the other two, but Kiyono Rin and Ikki Aoi used disposable cups.
He thought he would be scolded for letting others drink Kujo Miki's tea without permission. If he used her cup to serve others, he would probably get scolded back.
Qingye Rin looked at the white paper cup, hesitant.
Watanabe Toru held the teacup and glanced at her through the mist. He lowered his head and took a sip while saying, "Meiji is also a member of the Human Observation Department."
Qingye Rin nodded in an arc that was almost invisible to the naked eye, picked up the paper cup and took a sip: "Well, Ikki-san, let's continue the topic just now."
"Oh, okay." Ikki Aoi came back to her senses from the overflowing tea fragrance, "Um, sorry, where were we just now?"
"experience."
"Oh, he and I have been in the same school since elementary school, and junior high school as well. I came to Shenchuan because of him."
primary school?
Watanabe Toru looked at Kiyono Rin, and Kiyono Rin seemed to have the same feeling and looked over at him.
The two of them probably thought the same thing - Ichimoku Aoi has liked this person since elementary school and has liked him until now.
Qingye Rin was a little shy about the first time she had a rapport with other people, so she glared at him.
"?" Watanabe Toru looked confused.
Qing Ye Lin put her fist on her lips and coughed lightly: "Ichimu-san, can I ask why you like him? What are his advantages?"
Ichiki Aoi immediately replied, "She's very pretty."
Watanabe Toru and Kiyono Rin stared at her motionlessly.
"It's really beautiful!" Ikki Aoi emphasized.
"Am I as good-looking as you are?" Toru Watanabe asked curiously.
He has never seen a man more handsome than himself, never in the past and never in the future.
Didn’t you see that Miss Kujo was “sincerely convinced” by his looks?
Ikki Aoi's reaction was beyond Watanabe Toru's expectations. She said "Huh?" in confusion, as if she was wondering why Watanabe Toru asked that.
"Please keep quiet, Watanabe-san." Qingno Rin said indifferently with an expressionless face.
Watanabe Toru shrugged.
He didn't care about the answer, because no one could be as handsome as him.
Kiyono Rin turned her gaze towards Ikki Aoi: "Are there any other advantages?"
There is no one more beautiful than her, but she still didn't make Toru Watanabe fall in love with her, so appearance is not the point.
“The instrument is amazing!”
"Talent?" Qingye Rin said to himself.
Although she didn't master all the talents, she was good at most of them... No chance to show them off? Usually, she only let Toru Watanabe see her erudite side.
This is something we can learn from.
Qingye Rin nodded: "What else?"
"And, and... I have no friends!"
"ah?"
Qing Ye Lin glanced at the surprised Watanabe Toru and asked Ikki Aoi, "Is there anything attractive about not having friends?"
"If he has no friends, that means he doesn't hang out with other girls. In that case..." Ikki Aoi's voice tapered off, but the other two understood what she meant.
Kiyono Rin, who has no friends at all, doesn't think that this can please Watanabe Toru. Instead, it becomes his only breakthrough point that allows him to laugh at himself.
"Anything else?"
"Hmm..." Ikki Aoi frowned, "I can't remember."
"Which one is the most important? For example, without this, you wouldn't like him."
Ikki Aoi racked his brains and finally said, "It's definitely because of her looks! She's so beautiful!"
Qingye Rin sighed helplessly.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Ikki Aoi asked Watanabe Toru.
Before Watanabe Toru could speak, Kiyono Rin said, "I think appearance is not the point. If you only look at the appearance and not the behavior, you can't see the essence of a man. Of course, this is just the difference between Ikki and I in our aesthetic taste for men."
She further explained: "A man must first have an extraordinary IQ, work very hard, and then have good talent... For example, the man who sits there and says 'Isn't that me?' and lies all the time, even I have to admit that he is a little handsome."
"The limit of human appearance, just a little bit of handsomeness? You have really high standards." Watanabe Toru complained.
Kiyono Rin showed the same helpless expression as Watanabe Toru when he was tutoring the village kids.
"Watanabe-san, can your ears only understand Spanish now? I said that when I judge whether a person is handsome or not, I look at his behavior, right?"
Watanabe put his hand to his ear and said in broken Spanish: "? Quédices? No lo entiendo." (What did you say? I don't understand.)
Qingye Rin turned her head away, her shoulders shook twice, and a very, very slight laugh came out.
But when she turned around again, that cold and beautiful little face had been replaced with an indifferent expression as if she were looking at a kindergarten child.
Ikki Aoi looked back and forth at the two of them and said enviously, "If the relationship between me and Mai-san could be as close as that between Kiyono-san and Watanabe-san, then my confession would definitely be successful."
"Intimate? Ikki Aoi, please watch your wording." Kiyono Rin looked at the other person with reluctance.
"Wait!" Watanabe Toru said, "That wasn't the thing you were complaining about just now! Mai...senpai?"
"Ah, sorry, that... Actually, the one I like is the third-year senior Mai Asuka. I should use 'she'. But..." Ikki Aoi said awkwardly, "I subconsciously thought of Mai Asuka as 'he'."
" Do women like women?" Qingye Rin rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
Is it of any reference value?
"Asuki Mai?"
"Yes." Ikki Aoi answered subconsciously.
"She likes women?" Toru Watanabe stared at Aoi Ikki.
"I'm not sure about that, except that Mai-senpai said she prefers to be with girls."
System, are you there? If you are alive, can you come out and let me kill you?
Ikki Aoi looked at Watanabe Toru's appearance which had dropped to 8 points due to distortion and asked, "Does Watanabe hate homosexuals?"
"No, no, no." Watanabe Toru waved his hands quickly, "It's my own fault. It has nothing to do with you or homosexuality. I support all true love, especially yuri, especially the love between cute girls. For example, if Kiyono-san and Miki..."
Before he could finish his words, he attracted a sharp gaze from Qingye Rin.
Although there are many boys in Kamikawa High School who are excited by her cold gaze, they are only a small number after all, and Watanabe Toru is certainly not one of them.
He just felt that the temperature in the club classroom had dropped a bit.
Kiyono Rin retracted the 'Freezing Ray' and said to the somewhat bewildered Ikki Aoi: "Since Asuri-senpai likes girls, then it will be easy."
"Is there any way?" Ikki Aoi asked in surprise.
"Although this cannot be used as a reference at all, let me ask you, Watanabe-san, as the only male here, what kind of girls do you like?" said Kiyono Rin.
"Kujo Miki."
Qingye Rin smiled unceremoniously but did not expose him.
She said to Ikki Aoi: "I don't know what kind of girl Asuri-senpai likes. To be on the safe side, Ikki-san, you can learn from me. No one dislikes me, except for this liar next to me who is full of lies."
"Eh? Kiyono-san? Um, you..." Ikki Aoi looked embarrassed.
"Um?"
Facing Kiyono Rin's puzzled gaze, Ikki Aoi looked at Watanabe Toru.
"Hey, you're just throwing the bad luck to me? Do you think Kiyono Rin will let me go?"
Qing Ye Lin put her legs together without a gap, her back straight, staring at Watanabe Toru: "I hate people lying the most, so if you have any opinions, just say it directly."
"You won't be angry?"
"Of course not."
"Is that so? Then I won't be polite."
"First, your breasts are as flat as the Kanto Plain. Second, you can't joke, and you don't like others to joke with you. Third, you have high expectations of others. Third, you will expose others' lies to your face, no matter whether they are well-intentioned or not... In short, Qingye-san, you have nothing to offer except your natural beauty and intelligence. You can't be a typical reference for a popular woman."
"Starting next week, all members of the Human Observation Department, no, you, Toru Watanabe, must go to the activity room every day."
"Didn't you say you weren't angry?"
"I'm not angry, I'm just being upset." Qingye Rin's expression was kind, and there was no warmth in her smile.
"..." Watanabe Toru.
