Chapter 486 Effective Methods

After dinner, the torrential rain showed no signs of letting up; in fact, it seemed to be getting even worse.

"That's why I always say that the weather in November is like the face of a capricious person, which is characterized by its unpredictability. When this rain will stop depends on the mood of God."

Leaning against the small window of the French windows, Watanabe Yu rested his elbow on the window frame, gazing at the night outside where the rain and storm blended together, feeling somewhat sentimental.

Outside, the sound of rain poured down in one continuous stream. In the distance, the lit windows looked like lonely lighthouses at sea, emitting only a sliver of light in the rain. For once, there were no taxis on the street, only the dense sound of rain.

"I don't care when this rain will stop, I only care when you can close the screen window."

Ayana Amamiya, watching his retreating figure, chimed in.

She could understand Yu's enjoyment of watching the rain, but she also hoped he could be more understanding of her feelings.

At this time of year, even through the screen window, the rain outside, carried by the cold wind, would seep into the room and fall onto his arms. The chill of the autumn rain on a night like this is quite strong.

If you're not careful, even a little bit of rain can make you feel uncomfortable all over, especially in winter.

"immediately."

Watanabe Yu didn't complain about the saintess's 'nagging' because he knew very well that she was concerned about him.

"..."

Hayakawa Yuki glanced at Amamiya Ayana with some surprise.

It should be noted that the former Holy Maiden was known for her decisive and efficient manner. In other words, she would care about those she considered close, but she would never do so in such a 'nagging' tone.

At once……

She seemed to know what the future would hold.

Given Ayana's personality, she'll probably be completely dominated by her future little rascals.

"what happened?"

Ayana Amamiya is always keenly aware of other people's gazes, and she naturally noticed Yuki Hayakawa's eyes.

"It was just a bit of a surprise."

Yuki Hayakawa didn't hide anything and gave the truthful answer.

Why am I being so long-winded?

Ayana Amamiya made a guess.

"Yes."

Now that she'd been found out, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

Furthermore, given their relationship, Ayana definitely wouldn't be angry with her.

"Because it's him, he's special to me."

The young lady, without any embarrassment, stated the question as casually as if she were asking if she had eaten dinner that night.

"...Tsk, you got sunburned again!"

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa Yuki was quiet for a moment, then looked up, made a face, and made a sarcastic remark.

As expected, Ayana is Ayana, far more courageous and far more honest than her.

If Ayana hadn't given her the chance, or if Ayana had insisted on competing to the end, I probably would have lost.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, that was what her intuition told her.

"Humph."

Ayana Amamiya raised her chin, revealing her beautiful jawline and her long, fair neck, as swan-like as a flower.

Click.

Watanabe Yu took a step back, put the screen up, and then pulled the glass window over and closed it.

Then, he turned around, leaning against the floor-to-ceiling window and looking towards the living room.

"Sister Risa."

His gaze first fell on Risa Yasuhara, then shifted slightly to Akane Eda, who was doing her homework next to her.

"You said."

Risa Yasuhara, who was chatting with her best friend on her phone, turned her head, raised an eyebrow, and gestured for him to just speak.

Did you enjoy dinner tonight?

This is very important to him.

Tonight's dinner was prepared by him and Ryoko together. He was relatively ruthless with some of the dishes, so he had to ask the two diners for their opinions.

After all, we'll be eating together from now on.

"It's alright. Some dishes are a bit spicy, but they're really delicious and I can't stop eating them."

When this topic came up, Risa Yasuhara immediately perked up.

She has always loved exploring new restaurants and, even more so, food.

After each restaurant visit or new food trial, she would enthusiastically write a long review online, giving her honest and objective impressions. Although she received some attacks from some restaurants because of this, she gained many fans and supporters more often.

Her interest-based account, where she frequently posts food reviews, already has nearly 10,000 followers.

"What dishes do you find extremely spicy and completely unbearable?"

He felt that some dishes were bland, but Yuki had said they were spicy, so he had to make a relatively comprehensive assessment.

So that he wouldn't suddenly have a whim and make Risa and Akane completely unable to eat.

"I think they're all fine. Qian, what about you?"

Risa Yasuhara turned her head and gently patted Akane Eda's shoulder.

Others may not know Jiang Tianqian's personality, but doesn't she?

This girl is extremely introverted when she is with people she doesn't know very well, and even after they become familiar with each other, she doesn't talk much, only saying a few more words at specific times.

All I can say is that this personality type makes one very vulnerable to being bullied.

"Huh? Me, me?" Jiang Tianqian couldn't help but make an extra stroke with her pen, adding a long horizontal line to the notebook. "I think... that beef was delicious, and that chicken was delicious too."

"It's not asking if it tastes good, it's asking if it's spicy. A top chef is asking about your taste."

Risa Yasuhara interrupted Akane Eda with a hint of exasperation. What was this girl stammering about?

"Hmm... the beef is a little spicy." Jiang Tianqian raised her eyebrows, quickly glanced at Watanabe Yu's expression, and after confirming that the latter was not angry, she continued, "It's a little spicy, I may need to get used to it."

She has actually eaten quite a lot of delicious food and knows very well that some dishes are only delicious when they are spicy.

The dish I had tonight, I think it was called boiled beef, is one of those kinds of dishes. If you don't pour that fried chili oil on top, it definitely won't taste that good.

Therefore, she felt that she could change herself for the sake of food, rather than changing others!

"How about I put less chili in?"

Watanabe Yu asked tentatively.

He hadn't interacted with Jiang Tianqian many times, so he wasn't sure if the girl, who seemed a bit shy, was telling the truth or just being polite.

"Don't!"

Jiang Tianqian immediately shook her head.

"okay I know."

Seeing this, Watanabe Yu nodded thoughtfully.

It really proves the saying, "Birds of a feather flock together."

The last time Sister Jiangtian brought Jiangtian Qian to freeload a meal, this girl wasn't very good at eating spicy food. The second time she came, she really let loose and started challenging herself.

Unsurprisingly, I was won over by the delicious food.

“She means the food is delicious, and although it’s spicy, she can adjust to it.” Risa Yasuhara sighed and began translating, afraid that Yu Watanabe might misunderstand. “Also, she’s very interested in what your high school life is like.”

This was actually an excuse, and a rather awkward pretext. Because Qian had never mentioned it at all, but since she was the only elder present, there were some things that if she didn't say them, no one else would.

So let her see it through to the end.

"Specifically..."

Watanabe Yu raised his head and looked at the empty light in the living room. A hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. Thanks to the extensive memory given to him by Tongzi, he remembered everything he had experienced vividly.

"uh-huh."

Risa Yasuhara chimed in, giving Akane Eda a 'don't talk' look, which made the latter look somewhat aggrieved.

She could be tough in front of her own cousin, but she couldn't be so tough in front of her cousin's best friend.

Firstly, their relationship wasn't that good yet, and secondly, Risa Anhara was a teacher, and as a student with poor grades, she had a natural fear of her teacher.

"Well... First of all, there's the academic pressure. Compared to junior high, the academic pressure in high school is much greater."

Watanabe Yu carefully considered his words before beginning to speak.

Now that things have come to this, he no longer intends to use the method he had previously discussed with Eda Ikumi. Based on an assessment of the actual situation, he feels it's time to be more honest.

Being sincere might not win you people's favor, but at least it will prevent them from thinking you're a hypocrite.

This is especially true for girls like Jiang Tianqian, who lack a sense of security, are wary of others, and are very cautious when speaking to him.

Overly romanticizing something might make people disbelieve it or evoke other negative emotions.

"That's true."

Hayakawa Yuki glanced at Yasuhara Risa and immediately understood what was going on, so she immediately chimed in to help.

"It's no exaggeration to say that the difficulty of each subject has increased dramatically," Watanabe Yu sighed. "Especially the three main subjects, this is even more evident in better schools."

This is a consensus he reached after attending high school twice.

That level of difficulty is beyond what a normal person could accomplish; it's outrageous.

To put it bluntly, if we're talking about a 100-point scale, the difficulty level in junior high might be around 50 to 60, while in senior high it jumps to 80 to 90, or even 75 to 90.

In short, the difficulty has increased significantly.

"What about the other subjects?"

Eda Akane looked at Watanabe Yu, a hint of unease in her eyes.

What Sister Ji said in the bathroom just now really moved her.

Rather than continuing this self-imposed exile, she still wanted normal social relationships, and she was well aware that the social relationships she was currently buying with money were not healthy.

"The other subjects are a bit more difficult, but overall the difference isn't that big." Watanabe Yu spread his hands and made a helpless expression. "If you're good at math, you can't possibly be bad at physics."

After all, math, physics, and chemistry are inseparable.

This is the same all over the world.

"That's it..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianqian lowered her eyes and muttered something under her breath.

"Hmm, but putting aside the sudden increase in academic pressure, high school activities are indeed much more abundant than junior high school activities." Watanabe Yu changed the subject and brought up another topic, "Let me think about how to say it."

"School trips take you to farther places and last longer. You'll see more interesting things along the way, and you might even witness gossip that junior high students used to hide, as well as confession scenes."

"By the way, Chengnan Private High School does not oppose students dating, as long as it does not affect their studies."

"Then there are the school festival and the occasional themed festivals held in the school. Let's talk about the former first. Because after entering high school, everyone's hands-on and organizational skills have improved significantly, so the school festival is a very large event."

"We talked about this when we first ate together. We were even able to apply for an entire large penthouse as an event space. You should understand now."

At this point, Watanabe Yu naturally raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, almost."

Jiang Tianqian raised her head again and then gently nodded her chin.

"You can come and see it then. I'm quite confident in the haunted house that our two classes built together." Watanabe Yu extended an invitation. "Of course, admission is free."

No matter how eloquently you speak, it's not as impressive as experiencing it firsthand.

Just like some places have such beautiful backgrounds that they are questioned as if they were created using special effects, you will never experience that feeling of being in a painting unless you actually go there.

"Can I?"

Jiang Tianqian's eyes lit up.

Normally, she would definitely refuse.

After all, she didn't like doing this kind of thing, but what Sister Yuki had just told her, plus what Brother Watanabe was saying now, really piqued her interest.

"Sure, if you have time, you can even come to our school to help make props and experience what it's like to not go home before the school festival."

Watanabe Yu nodded with a smile.

See, this is labor force +1.

"Ok!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Tianqian nodded heavily.

She had never experienced this before, and she was genuinely interested in it!

She really wanted to experience the feeling of everyone working together towards the same goal.

"Then let's talk about something else. Do you know about concerts?"

Watanabe Yu continued speaking.

Actually, he was quite surprised. He hadn't noticed it before, but as he was speaking and organizing his thoughts, he realized, damn it, the activities at Chengnan Private High School were indeed numerous and of high quality, with no such thing as a mediocre event.

Although the coursework was indeed very demanding.

"know."

Jiang Tianqian nodded.

Although she's never been there.

"The school also organizes this, with each class putting forward a music program and then performing on stage. Of course, there are also more festive celebration parties, which don't restrict the theme, and each class can create whatever they want."

Watanabe Yu then dutifully provided a scientific explanation.

"Which one do you think is better, Watanabe-san?"

Jiang Tianqian asked a question.

“Personally, I prefer programs that don’t restrict the subject matter, because some classes perform stage plays very well, but when it comes to music-related programs, they fall short.” Watanabe paused for a moment, “And there are others.”

He continued speaking.

There's so much to say about the extracurricular activities at the private high school in the south of the city.

He also heard the notification sound from Brother Tongzi.

The task's progress bar is rising rapidly.

In other words, his decision was correct!
Seeing this, Risa Yasuhara, who was watching from the sidelines, lowered her eyes, quickly typed a line on the keyboard, and clicked send.

[The process is going well, but there's a heavy rain tonight, so I probably won't be able to send her back. She'll have to stay at You's place for the night.]

Knowing Yu Mei's personality, she's probably already laughing while holding her phone.

It's just that Watanabe really is a know-it-all; otherwise, where would he find such a good opportunity?

Thinking of this, she sent another message.

You absolutely must thank Watanabe properly afterward; he took over your mess!

The message was marked as read almost instantly, and then the reply arrived as expected.

【must!】
