Chapter 87 Untitled
Perhaps because they were praised for their regular performances, or perhaps because they didn't want to be laughed at by Toru Watanabe, more and more members came to practice early in the morning during the two days following the three-day break.
Time has come to Tuesday, and after three days of vacation, we have returned to normal study life.
The results of the monthly test were announced at noon.
Even after studying hard, Toru Watanabe, who ranked first in liberal arts, still overestimated his science level and ranked third again with a slight gap.
But it doesn't matter.
He has decided to work hard at the age of twenty-five to ensure that he can live a leisurely and affluent life directly after the age of twenty-five.
Since you have to work hard, it is actually a good thing to have a goal to pursue ahead.
As long as he can get first place in the country in the final national unified examination, that will be enough.
By then, I can publish a book called "How I, who was born in an abandoned school in a rural area of Iwate Prefecture, became the best in the country," a passionate youth novel!
Maybe you can win the "Island Bookstore Award", adapt it into TV series, movies, animations, and comics, and live a decadent life relying on royalties from the age of 18?
That's a good idea.
As the last class was about to end, Toru Watanabe wrote down a schedule in his notebook:
"Spring break from senior year: writing a book."
Above this paragraph, it was written: "Play a music game instead."
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. When Toru Watanabe closed his notebook, packed his bag, and prepared to go to the club building with Keisuke Saito, Aona Koizumi called him over.
"What's up, Mr. Koizumi?"
"It's almost the end of the semester. The three-way interview will begin next week. Watanabe, tell your family in advance."
"Oh, okay." Watanabe Toru nodded in agreement.
The three-party interview is an interview conducted by teachers, students and parents at the end of the semester. It usually talks about the students' current situation in school and their future studies and employment.
This is good news for students at Kamikawa High School, because during the week of the interview, classes are only half a day.
You can stay in school in the afternoon to participate in club activities or go to cram school.
Koizumi Aona looked Watanabe Toru up and down and said with a smile, " You seem to have grown taller recently?"
"Really?" Toru Watanabe gestured to her and found that he had indeed grown a little taller.
The two of them got closer, and through the open collar of his shirt, she could vaguely see his gradually firming chest , and Koizumi Aona felt a heat rising to her face.
"Why do you treat me as a ruler? You have a physical examination this Friday, so just take the test then." She smiled and pushed Watanabe Toru away.
"Physical examination, what will be tested in the physical examination in Tokyo?"
"It's very common, vision, height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, etc."
"Both men and women together?"
"What are you thinking about?" Koizumi Aona raised her hand and flicked Watanabe Toru's forehead, "I'll punish you by making you clean the swimming pool at noon tomorrow."
"Eh——" Toru Watanabe looked reluctant. It was so hot at noon.
Koizumi Aina whispered, "There are benefits."
Swimming pool... welfare...
"I'd love to!"
After getting some school arrangements from Koizumi Aona in advance, Toru Watanabe returned to the classroom and called Saito Keisuke who was waiting for him, and the two walked towards the club building together.
"What does Mr. Koizumi want to see you about?"
"The physical exam is on Friday, the interview is next week , and swimming lessons are probably about to start."
"Swimming lessons. I heard that Shenchuan has separate classes for boys and girls. I don't have high expectations at all. Guangming High School next door is better. Although it is also separated for boys and girls, it's just half of the swimming pool for each!"
"Yeah?!"
"you do not know?"
"I came here because I heard that Tokyo was very open. Why did this happen?" Toru Watanabe was very angry and felt that he had been deceived.
"Openness has nothing to do with the region. Open-minded people are needed everywhere, and there are conservatives everywhere." Saito Keisuke patted his shoulder as if to comfort him, and at the same time comforted himself.
"The second dimension is still better!"
“That’s right!”
In the corridor of the school building , the two reached a consensus.
In the music classroom, before the ensemble, Qing Ye Lin asked: "Did anyone's grades drop in this monthly test?"
About six people raised their hands.
Qingye Rin asked them to stop training at noon and start study session an hour earlier in the evening, but they refused.
“Even if we make it to the national competition, everything will end this summer. We want to try our best once!”
"As for grades, we will make up for it in the second and third semesters!"
In their hearts, they finally had the idea that "maybe we can really enter the national competition."
This is good news, both for the wind instrument section and for the human observation section.
The training ended late at night as usual, and everyone looked tired.
I hope all this effort will pay off.
The next day at noon, Toru Watanabe was called to clean the swimming pool, along with several girls from his class, as well as Keisuke Saito and Osamu Kunii, who had been deceived by him.
Everyone changed into summer sportswear. The boys were responsible for cleaning the swimming pool, while the girls handled more delicate tasks such as operating the faucets.
In the swimming pool with a shallow layer of water, three people were cleaning the walls of the pool with large mops.
"Watanabe you bastard! I'll kill you!"
"We said we could see the girls getting wet! They didn't even come over!"
"Don't be impulsive! The broom is dirty, hold it farther away! I was deceived too! It was Mr. Koizumi who told me there were benefits!"
After criticizing Toru Watanabe, the two of them talked about the latest animation in a bored manner.
"Have you watched the latest episode of Girls' Tank?"
"Oh, I recorded it, but I haven't watched it yet. What's wrong?"
"The protagonists have started to fight against Soviet tanks! Katyusha's little canine teeth are so cute!"
"Katyusha?" Watanabe Toru asked in confusion, "Isn't that a song? Where did the little canine teeth come from?"
Kunii Osamu explained: "There was a little girl in it, or not a little girl, but a girl-like female character named Katyusha. She had very cute little canine teeth, and then they sang 'Katyusha'."
Sing to yourself?
Kunii Osamu talked a lot again, saying how much he liked the female character who looked like a little girl, but he still wasn't satisfied.
He raised the big mop as if he were raising a gun: "For the Soviet Union! Hurrah!"
"Just as pear blossoms were blooming all over the sky, soft veils were floating on the river."
"Katyusha stood on the steep bank, and her singing was like the bright spring sunshine."
“Come together!”
"ah?"
Does this guy know about the "Northern Four Islands Dispute" between the island country and Russia?
However, although "Katyusha" is famous, it is just a love song after all, so it doesn't matter if you sing it.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him, a staunch socialist.
Anyway, it's okay. The three of them got excited. While mopping the floor, they loudly sang "Katyusha", which they only remembered roughly how to hum. The scene looked like they were working hard and in full swing.
"The girl sang a beautiful song. She was singing about the eagle of the grassland."
"She was singing about her beloved, and she was hiding her lover's letters."
…
"Katyusha stood on the steep bank, and her singing was like the bright spring sunshine."
The song ended with Kunijiro Xiu yelling "Ula!" to the sky.
The girls in the class and the students in the classroom near the swimming pool looked at him like he was an idiot.
Toru Watanabe decided to stay away from him in the future.
Although a man remains a boy until he dies, my second-year syndrome has not been cured yet, and no matter how I think about it, it's this guy's fault.
As a card face, you can't be addicted to the two-dimensional world, Watanabe!
After the cleaning was finished, Koizumi Aona bought everyone a bottle of ice drink, which was what she called a welfare.
"Toru Watanabe is such an idiot for expecting the benefits the teacher talked about." Toru Watanabe opened the can and took a big gulp of carbonated water.
