Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Chapter 29 Reiko Kubouchi's Scheme!

2024-07-14

Teacher's office.

Reiko Kubo sat back down in her seat, somewhat annoyed, unable to understand why Shiro Shiro refused to join the track and field club.

She looked at Shiro Kaede's sprint results and her pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly.

When she recalled the first time she ran this person and compared it to the second time, she felt that something was very wrong.

Even she herself felt that she ran very fast the first time she ran.

Why did it slow down again the second time?

Could it be that this guy is trying to fool her?

Was it specially installed?

No way. If just any random person in the track and field team ran that time, they'd probably be so excited they couldn't sleep for a month.

Why would someone deliberately put on an act just to avoid joining the track and field club?

There shouldn't be such a person, right?

Although Reiko Kubouchi thought this way, she still had a faint sense of anticipation in her heart. She immediately made a phone call and made up an excuse to ask the campus security guard to bring her the surveillance video of the gymnasium.

After a while.

Reiko Kubo received the USB drive from the security guard, inserted it into her computer to make a copy, and then returned it to the guard.

After receiving the USB drive, the security guard left without asking any further questions.

After all, teachers in schools watch the surveillance footage from time to time to check on the students' situation.

This happens frequently, and they're used to it.

Reiko Kubo clicked on today's monitoring, dragged the timeline to when Shiro Kaede was about to start running, and then stared intently at the time from the start to the end of his run.

Finally, after using the stopwatch in my hand to calculate it.

The discovery time was indeed around 10:10.

Upon seeing these results, Reiko Kubouchi was filled with surprise, joy, and anger!

I wanted to tell the PE teacher right away that I had found a promising talent.

But after thinking it over, she had another plan.

I heard that the track and field sports consultant is planning to resign and go to another school. If I tell her now, she definitely won't resign.

But if I wait until she resigns, then secretly become the sports consultant for the track and field team, and then bring in Shiro Kaede, wouldn't I be able to rise to the top by leveraging Shiro Kaede's running performance?

Reiko Kubo's beautiful eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she looked at Shiro Kaede on the screen and grumbled, "Hmph, I knew this kid was lying!"

Her appearance caught the eye of Matsueda Asami, who had just passed by, who couldn't help but glance at her and remark, "Reiko, what are you looking at so excitedly? You almost scared me!"

Matsueda Asami moved closer to the computer screen, somewhat curious as to why Reiko was so excited.

Upon seeing the images of her own students, she paused, bewildered, and exclaimed, "Huh? Why are you looking at my students?"

"And it's Kamishiro Hakufeng?"

"10.10 seconds on the stopwatch, what is that? Is it Shiro Kaede's running time?"

"Wait a minute. I remember this running time is the same as that track and field prodigy, Kiryu Shōshū?"

Seeing that it was too late to explain, Reiko Kubouchi had no choice but to explain what had just happened to Asami Matsueda.

Upon hearing this, Matsueda Asami immediately exclaimed, "Huh? What?"

"Is it really 10.10?"

Matsueda Mami already had a loud voice, and her shout attracted even more attention from the other teachers.

"What 10.10?"

"Matsueda-sensei, Kubo-sensei, what are you watching over there? Why are you so excited?"

"Tell us about it too."

Reiko Kubo noticed that the other physical education teachers seemed to be watching them as well, so she immediately covered Matsueda Asami's mouth and said with an embarrassed smile, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm so sorry for disturbing you all just now."

After apologizing.

The other teachers didn't seem to care much either.

After all, it's normal for teachers to get angry with their students from time to time in the office.

Reiko Kubo put her index finger to her lips, signaling not to say anything: "Shh!"

Matsueda Asami pushed away Kubouchi Reiko's hand covering her mouth and frowned, saying, "Why can't I say it? They'll find out sooner or later anyway."

Reiko Kubo stammered, "Even so, but..."

"But what?" Matsueda Asami frowned.

Reiko Kubo whispered in Asami Matsueda's ear, "But if word gets out, wouldn't that be like handing over Shirokaze Kamishiro to the track and field club's PE teacher?"

"I heard that the PE teacher was poached by the neighboring St. Sakura Girls' High School recently and is preparing to resign and go there."

“If I told her now that a student here has achieved this result, she definitely wouldn’t be willing to resign.”

"After all, Shiro Shiro's performance has already affected the career of a physical education teacher. If we announce the results and let Shiro Shiro win an award in the competition, she will become famous throughout the country. With this resume, she will be in high demand everywhere she goes."

Matsueda Asami frowned: "So, what are you planning to do?"

“Look, isn’t she the acting coach for the track and field team right now? I’m just waiting for her to resign so I can take over the track and field team. Then I’ll bring in Shiro Shiro, and I’ll be set for life!” Reiko Kubo looked at Asami Matsueda with a serious expression. “So I need your help here. Don’t tell anyone about this!”

"The lowest!" Matsueda Asami gave her a disdainful look and retorted, "You're hopeless!"

Kubo Reiko clasped her hands together and pleaded, "Please, Asami-chan, help me! I'll treat you to three meals at Wakashi Sushi!"

Some high-end sushi restaurants in Tokyo are renowned for their culinary skills and fresh ingredients. One such famous restaurant is Jiro Sushi Sukiyabashi in Tokyo.

Wakaishi is a sushi restaurant run by sushi master Yoshio Suematsu, which has gained international attention for its high-level cuisine.

This restaurant is one of the most expensive sushi restaurants in Tokyo, Japan.

Matsueda Asami had also heard that the female PE teacher was planning to resign. Since her friend had asked her for help, she could help, but of course, not for the sake of Wakashi Sushi.

"Alright. But I'll have to go five times!"

Reiko Kubo felt a pang of regret for her salary, but she reluctantly agreed: "Five times it is fine, we've got it agreed. You're not allowed to tell anyone until I become the track and field team's advisor."

"Hehe, don't worry, I can be soft all over, but my mouth is definitely hard!" Matsueda Mami proudly puffed out her somewhat barren chest.

But after thinking about something, she couldn't help but sigh, "I really didn't expect that while God closed a door for this Shiro Kaede, He also opened a window for him."

"What do you mean?" Reiko Kubo asked.

"Let me tell you, you have no idea how bad Shiro Shiro's grades are. He got a C!" Matsueda Mami said with a look of exasperation, "Not only did he get a C, but he also kept saying in class that he loves studying. Although his intentions were good, I think he should have waited until his grades were better before saying that."

"Huh? That's what he told you?" Reiko Kubo couldn't help but chime in after hearing Asami's complaints about Shiro Kaede. "Do you know what he said to me today?"

Matsueda Asami was somewhat curious. "What did you say?"

Reiko Kubo couldn't help but laugh more and more as she thought about it, and when she finally couldn't hold back any longer, she slapped the table and laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, I told him that his sprinting results were so good that he had the potential to become the ace of the track and field team, and asked him to join the track and field team. Then he said something like, 'I just want to study hard, and I've already joined the literature team. I don't want to join the track and field team anymore.' I was speechless when I heard that!"

"Is this guy serious?" Matsueda Asami was speechless.

Chapter 30: Exchanging Bento Boxes!

2024-07-14

[You have studied for a period of time, Student Professional Experience +1!]

Jingle bell bell~

The ringing of the school bell brought Shiro Kaede, who had been engrossed in studying, back to reality.

He checked the time and realized it was already 12 o'clock.

Shiro Shiro glanced at his own student career experience.

Occupation: Student

[Level: LV4]

[Experience: 853/3000]

Previously, my experience points were around 500, but after using Absolute Focus once and studying all morning, they increased significantly.

We've reached 853.

Seeing the surge in experience points, Shiro Shiro was overjoyed.

At this rate, I'm afraid I'll be able to upgrade again in just a few days. When the time comes, getting a good score on the exam will be a piece of cake.

This ability to focus is truly amazing. Before acquiring this skill, Bai Feng didn't improve his student professional experience this quickly.

It's easy to use, but it's also quite a burden.

At most, Shiro Kaede could only use it for about fifteen minutes in a morning.

My brain is still a bit foggy and dry, but it's much better than the physical pain and hunger I'm experiencing.

He touched his empty stomach and felt incredibly hungry.

After the teacher left, the students either brought their own lunches to eat or went downstairs to buy lunches or bread.

Seeing this, Shiro Kaede immediately took out his large bento box from his bag.

Open it and take a look.

It was filled to the brim with meat, vegetables, and rice.

These are all dishes I made myself this morning.

Although Shiro Shiro herself had little cooking experience, she was able to cook after just watching a video.

After all, these are simple dishes, not particularly difficult.

As long as you follow the instructions in the video, the taste will be just as good!
