My second life is a bit strange?

The class monitor's chest is so hard.

"Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going. Pochi-chan, is your guitar fixed yet?"

"No, I plan to buy a new one this weekend with the money I earned from my part-time job."

The class monitor's hair is wet...

She took a tissue out of her tall pocket and handed it to him.

"Really? Let's go together then. I also need to buy some candles."

Kaede dried her hair and accompanied Goto to the vending machine downstairs to buy water.

Goto looked at the class president, hesitant to speak, and when they were almost at the classroom door, he couldn't help but ask, "Class... Class president, next Monday is the preliminary round of the Neon District High Martial Arts Tournament. I... I saw on the school's promotional poster that you are the representative."

"Ah."

"Can I go see it?"

Kaede couldn't help but pat her head. Goto was too honest; she needed his permission for even this kind of thing.

"If you like."

As they were talking, Seji and Koichi suddenly appeared behind Kaede, holding a large flag with the words "Victory is certain" written on the headband and a banner with some cringeworthy words.

This is too shameful!

"Goto-kun, it's not just you, it's us too!!"

"Go, class monitor!!"

The boys cheered him on, waving their fists wildly, their excitement written all over their faces.

Sure enough, most boys have some fantasies about this.

"Although we don't know why our class monitor would participate in such a dangerous competition, everyone will cheer for you."

"You guys," Feng said, putting his arms around their necks. No wonder there were so many people missing from the class during the last self-study period; it turned out the ordered items had arrived. "It's really embarrassing. Come and see for yourself. I won't lose."

The boys were in a chaotic mess, which attracted the attention of other classes, who whispered among themselves as they looked at the flag.

This made Feng blush: "Alright, put the things away."

Before PE class, as he was going down the stairs, Kaede saw that Hachiman was alone again, so he went up to greet him.

"Come back then."

"Ah...maybe?"

"Why are you making such a far-fetched claim! We're friends, aren't we?!"

【friend..】

Hachiman paused for a moment, then said, "I'm going back. If it's legal to skip class, why wouldn't I go?"

"...Your answer is quite unexpected. I'll be going now."

Feng patted him on the shoulder, quickened his pace, and caught up with Kaguya and the others.

"Ah Feng is really popular."

Hearing Qianhua's words, Feng stretched and loosened his body: "To be honest, I didn't take this competition seriously at first, but now that they've made a fuss, I've gotten a bit more motivated."

"Bearing the name of Shuchiin?"

Qianhua immediately started making a joke, and Feng pinched her cheek, saying that her chubby cheeks felt really nice.

Kaguya and Eriri exchanged a glance, knowing that their boyfriends were incredibly serious at that moment.

"this is for you."

Hayasaka handed the collected information to Kaede.

"Thanks."

The Ghost King of Northeast China is 1.9 meters tall and weighs 90 kg. Born into a family of martial arts practitioners, he participated in two major competitions during his senior year of high school and achieved remarkable results in both.

The silver crow from Hokkaido is petite, the shortest among the contestants, yet possesses extraordinary athletic ability and reaction speed.

People who are two-faced and harbor malice are truly terrifying.

[He's a formidable opponent.]

"It was definitely the right decision to participate in this competition; they were all quite interesting people."

Chapter 146 Fatherly Love and [Dirty Money]?

"What should I do..." Goto spread all his savings on the table: "I haven't been paying attention lately, and my expenses have been quite high. It seems like I'm not quite enough."

"Yili, can you get off for a moment?"

Hearing his father's words, Yili went to the living room.

"The guitar is probably unusable now, it's an old relic after all."

Upon hearing this, Ichiri performed a perfectly executed dogeza (a deep bow in apology), leaving his father speechless and unable to utter a single word.

"I'm sorry, I broke Dad's guitar."

"Please don't say that. It can still be repaired, right? Besides, it's the best fate for instruments to break during a performance. Go buy another guitar, so you can handle it if anything happens in the future."

“But, but…” Goto looked to the side.

"Hmph, is Ichiri worried about money? Ta-da~" Goto's father pulled out a large wad of banknotes from his pocket and spread them out in front of Goto.

"Okay, that's a lot of money."

Now Goto truly felt his father's love, but he couldn't help but have wild thoughts: "Where did all this money come from, Dad? You didn't do anything illegal, did you? I can't accept this kind of dirty money."

Goto could already picture his father being arrested.

His mother's salary was not enough to support the family, and he could not earn much money by playing the guitar. He was forced to give up his dream, drop out of school and go out to work, becoming one of the lowest members of society.

They get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs, struggling to make ends meet on meager wages.

Waaaaah, this is just too tragic.

"Hey, come to your senses, our family's financial situation isn't that bad, is it?"

"This money is Xiaofeng's dowry."

"Marry, marry, marry..." Yili suddenly fell silent, kneeling on the ground, motionless.

"Sister?" Erli ran over, bent down, brushed aside her sister's hair, and looked at her expression: "Sister has entered the Buddhist path."

Fortunately, Goto's mother told the truth, pulling her back from the brink of death.

"I'm really pleased to see you playing better and better, but... it's hard to describe how you're also getting better at bragging."

"No!!"

Goto covered her face and hurriedly ran back to her room, sobbing uncontrollably, "I can't face my family anymore."

After lying in bed and calming down for a while, she remembered what her father had said about the dowry and made the sound of a kettle boiling.

"Dad, really, making such an embarrassing joke."

She combined this money with the rest of her earnings from part-time jobs, totaling 470,000 yen.

That's enough to buy an AE86.

Goto shook his head violently and patted his cheeks: "What am I thinking about, guitar, guitar."

"But... if I spend 100,000 yen on a guitar, I'll still have 370,000 yen left." Suddenly, Goto's eyes lit up. That meant she could go a long time without working!

I'm going to buy a guitar tomorrow...

Should I wear new clothes?

"Forget it, I'd die."

...

I am different today!

Goto was incredibly confident, radiating an invisible aura.

[I'm quitting my job before we go buy guitars!!!]

I felt it!!!

An inexplicable power kept surging up. After mopping the floor, she strode up to Sister Hongxia, her momentum weakening with each step she took.

In the end, he couldn't even say a word before he crawled into the trash can.

"...Why did he crawl into the trash can without saying a word?" Xingge realized that she couldn't understand what the child was thinking at all.

"Excuse me~"

As soon as Kaede came in, she saw Goto sitting in the trash can: "Hahaha, the hermit crab Ichiri has appeared."

"It's time for Poke-chan to go."

Goto slowly crawled out of the trash can: "Um, where's Shinomiya-kun?"

"It's a secret, you'll find out soon enough. Let's go."

"Bye-bye, sister~"

"Be careful on the road."

The group took a tram to Ochanomizu, where musical instrument shops were everywhere on the streets.

"The atmosphere here is so great." Kita took many photos with his phone. "It's definitely better to be there in person, at least you can try it out yourself."

Goto turned her head away. She had originally intended to buy it online, but changed her mind after listening to Nijika's suggestion.

She was already starting to get scared, wondering what if the shop assistants were scary.

Put on your headphones and pretend you're really enjoying the music!

The automatic door opened with both handles, and Goto suddenly started shaking his hair, startling the shop assistants.

"Manager, it seems we have a very important customer."
