Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Each type of driver's license requires a different examination fee.

The cost of a regular driver's license test is 7000 yen (approximately 350 yuan), but if you want to pass the AT (automatic transmission) test without taking the test, you will need to pay an additional 2500 yen (approximately 125 yuan).

The test fee for small cars is the same as that for regular cars, while the test fee for large cars is 10300 yen (about 500 yuan), and the test fee for regular motorcycles is 5500 yen (about 250 yuan).

Although it's not very expensive.

But Bai Feng urgently needs money to start his next career, so he'll wait until he has enough money and a car is a necessity before taking the test.

For now, I can only continue taking the tram.

Shirakaze Kamishiro walked down the streets of Shibuya, heading home.

As usual, Mizuno Maki followed silently behind Kamishiro Hakufu.

However, she seemed to be further away from Bai Feng today than she was yesterday.

soon.

The two then returned to the fork in the road they had crossed earlier.

The stray dog ​​was rummaging for food next to the trash can, just like always.

But when it sensed someone approaching, it immediately turned around and looked over, intending to bark a few times as usual.

But upon seeing that the person was Shiro Kaede, the stray dog ​​panicked and immediately tried to run away.

When Shiro Kaede saw the dog, his eyes lit up immediately.

I suddenly remembered that I still had one more opportunity to use my speaking skills today.

He used to worry about not finding opportunities to use his public speaking skills when he was working.

I just got off work and happened to run into a non-human creature.

He wanted to test whether he could even control a dog.

So Shiro Shiro immediately used his speech skills.

And right now.

Mizuno Maki and the stray dog ​​in front of her couldn't help but stop in their tracks, their eyes instinctively drawn to Kamishiro Shirokaze.

Chapter 80: My Sleeping Stepsister, Erina.

After using his speech ability, Shiro Kaede approached the stray dog ​​in front of him and said gently:

"What's your name?"

The stray dog ​​should have been afraid, but for some reason, it felt a touch of tenderness after hearing the human's words.

It barked softly twice.

"Very good." Shiro Shiro couldn't understand what it was saying. Seeing that it was often alone with another dog, he guessed it was an orphan and just gave it a random name. "Your name is Bruce, right?"

The stray dog ​​remained silent, tilting its head, clearly unable to understand what he was saying.

Shiro Shiro wanted to test his oratory skills, so he came up with a gangster storyline to see if it could influence the dog.

He spoke with righteous indignation and boundless passion:

"Listen up, Bruce, I need to build a force!"

"I want you to become the overlord of this territory, and to treat every street as your own."

"In this world, only the strong survive, and our Ironclad Paw Patrol is the strongest. You must show your wildness and ferocity and let the other dogs know you exist."

"Whether you are human or any other animal, if you dare to mess with us, you'd better be prepared to face the consequences. Your loyalty is the absolute protection of our family and territory!"

"But at the same time, you must also learn to be respectful and loyal. You must give due respect and protection to those who are friendly to us, so that you can win their support!"

"Remember, Bruce, this is a cruel world. We must protect ourselves and constantly grow our power. Only in this way can we remain invincible on these streets!"

"So, do you understand now?!"

Hearing Bai Feng's passionate words, Bruce also seemed to get excited. His tail wagged like a propeller, and he let out a wolf-like howl, as if responding to Bai Feng's thoughts.

Shiro looked at it with some satisfaction, although he felt that the dog probably couldn't understand human speech.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

At least he now knows that his public speaking skills are useful.

It really can hold a dog captive for three minutes.

And the dog seemed to be getting excited too.

That means that this ability can indeed slightly influence the emotions of living beings.

Unless he shuts down his ability beforehand or stops talking, the dog can only stay in place and listen to him.

But Bruce listened to him for a minute or two.

Bai Feng couldn't very well not give him a reward, so he took out the bread he had bought at noon from his schoolbag and gave half of it to Bruce.

Bruce's eyes lit up with a gleam of green when he saw the bread, and he immediately started munching on it.

Shiro Shiro knew that dogs were very alert when they were eating.

Especially stray dogs.

Even though it's so close to Bruce now, it hasn't growled or guarded its food.

That means the dog may have developed a certain degree of self-acceptance after listening to the speech.

Unfortunately, judging from the skill description, it seems that the effect on a person's emotions can only last for three minutes.

As for whether there will be any subsequent impact, that remains to be seen.

Let's check on Bruce's situation later.

Bruce ate quickly, finishing his bread in a few bites. Then, wagging his tail, he sniffed Bai Feng's scent. Noticing another familiar scent on him, Bruce glanced at Mizuno Maki behind him, his earnest eyes seeming to have memorized Mizuno Maki as well.

Seeing that his public speaking skills were about to expire, Bai Feng didn't do anything more and prepared to leave.

And this time.

Just as he stood up, he didn't notice that Mizuno Maki was looking at him with a complicated expression.

After Bai Feng had gone far away.

Maki Mizuno noticed that the stray dog ​​from before seemed to be wagging its tail and looking at her.

It no longer barks wildly at the sight of itself like it used to.

She didn't know what was going on.

But because it had been barked at too many times.

Maki Mizuno instinctively left the place immediately and quickly returned home.

After closing the door and locking the security chain,

She felt relieved and started taking a shower and studying.

After 11:30.

She lay back down on the bed as usual, intending to go to sleep.

But no matter what I do, I can't fall asleep quickly.

Maki Mizuno didn't know what was going on, but she still forced herself to close her eyes.

Even with her eyes closed.

The events that had just occurred were still echoing in my mind.

She almost fell down, but luckily Kamishiro-kun pulled her up, otherwise she would definitely have fallen.

Was it because he was worried that the people behind him would crowd him when he pushed her to the door?

Could it be that he still has a crush on her?

Is that why you're worried I might get hurt or squeeze something?

Is that so?

That's right.

And just now, Kamishiro-kun was able to ignore that stray dog.

But he still told the stray dogs not to bark at people indiscriminately.

He probably did this because he noticed the stray dog ​​barked at her frequently.

Otherwise, Maki Mizuno really couldn't figure out what reason Kamishiro-kun would have for doing this.

Since Kamishiro-kun doesn't live here either, he had absolutely no reason to say that to the stray dog.

Considering all of the above, he must still have a crush on me, right?

How to do this.

I accidentally kissed his neck on the tram just now.

Now we even go to work, go to school, and go home together, and our seats are so close.

Even their clubs are all from the same literature department.

We've been together almost all day, haven't we?

If Kamishiro-kun misunderstands because of this, then I have no way to stay away from him.

What should we do now?

at this time.

Mizuno Maki inexplicably recalled the scene of kissing Kamishiro-kun's neck just now, and her usually cool face still flushed slightly.

After she realized what was happening, she immediately shook her head.

I tried to stop myself from overthinking.

It's okay, it's okay.
