Tokyo Tutor: Starting with My Ex-Girlfriend's Sister

"You don't study humanities subjects either?"

"When I got to high school, I treated all subjects the same."

"Saki-san has a great talent for languages; she not only speaks English but has also taught herself French."

Uesugi Aoi added from the side.

She admired Himeno Saki's talent in this area. Although her humanities grades were also good, that was the result of her hard work. It was completely different from Himeno Saki's situation where she could still get good grades even if she just slacked off.

"My mom forced me to learn it; French sounds awful."

"Really? France is such a beautiful country, how could its language be so bad?"

"Hehe. Aoi, have you ever been to France?"

"no."

"Then how do you know France is beautiful? Don't have this naive fantasy of a country bumpkin about big cities."

The Himeno family travels abroad every year, and they have absolutely no bias towards Himeno Saki in France.

"Is that so?"

Himeno Saki's comment about being a country bumpkin unintentionally stung Uesugi Aoi's sensitive heart.

"Mr. Yamazaki isn't playing games tonight. I want to get some rest and prepare for tomorrow's class."

Upon hearing this, the Uesugi grandfather and grandson's pupils dilated in shock, as if they had witnessed the sun rising in the west.

"Saki, what did you say, Saki-san?"

Aunt Uesugi looked at Himeno Saki with an incredulous expression.

"I'll get some rest early tonight to prepare for tomorrow's classes."

"Does Miss have any activities planned?"

"That's all. I just want to get some rest."

Himeno Saki was disappointed. Despite her efforts, the result still seemed unsatisfactory.

Seeing Himeno Saki's expression, Yamazaki Kazuka felt somewhat helpless, after all, learning is something that cannot be forced.

So-called geniuses are able to learn and master knowledge and skills with ease, forming a virtuous cycle in this learning environment of low input and high return.

Therefore, many geniuses are not only highly talented but also hardworking because, in their view, what they do has a high rate of return.

But for the vast majority of people, it's already quite fortunate to reap what you sow. Many people often put in ten parts of effort but only get three parts of the reward.

Having lived two lifetimes, Yamazaki Kazukaze knows that making the right choices is more important than working hard.

From this perspective, Himeno Saki Ryo has a clear understanding of herself. When it came time to enter junior high school, she hoped to attend a regular high school rather than Onari Junior High School, which has extremely high academic pressure.

Those schools only have midterm and final exams per academic year, and the deviation requirements are very low; some only require a score of thirty-something to pass.

With such a smooth transition to choosing humanities in her second year of high school, Himeno Saki's academic performance will improve significantly.

However, Himeno Kiyoyuki's insistence on her own way put Himeno Saki in an extremely awkward situation.

For Saki, transferring schools might be a better option.

On the way back, Yamazaki Kazukazu sat in Inoue Keiko's car, lost in thought.

"Is things not going well with the Japanese style?"

Seeing Yamazaki Kazukazu looking tired as he gazed at the neon lights of the skyscrapers outside the car, Inoue Keiko asked him with concern.

"My life has been too smooth for the past twenty years, which has given me the illusion that I am omnipotent."

The first time Yamazaki Kaze felt powerless was when he parted ways with Himeno Natsuki in front of the station, and the second time is now.

Am I destined to be at odds with the women of the Hime family?

"Is there any way?"

"There's no way. From a scientific point of view, I can't significantly improve Himeno Saki's grades within a week. Once my wife returns and arranges the exams, I'll have to leave the Himeno family."

"It's alright, even if you fail. Mrs. Himeno won't shortchange you. I'm helping you find someone else. It's so hot in Tokyo that many people choose to hire private tutors to come to their homes."

Keiko Inoue gently comforted Kazuka Yamazaki.

"Hey, Kaze, are you alright? Why are you suddenly smiling?"

"Sister Huizi, I'm fine. I just remembered something happy."

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

"I have a way to solve Saki's problem."

Yamazaki Kazukaze took a deep breath and looked out the window. The towering buildings and glaring neon lights that were originally oppressive now looked exceptionally beautiful.

bang bang.

Aunt Uesugi knocked on Himesaki Ryo's door.

"Miss Saki, the milk for tonight."

"I understand, bring it in."

Aunt Uesugi pushed open the door and came in carrying a glass of milk.

What happened next almost made the experienced nanny lose her grip on the plate.

Himeno Saki was doing her homework while lying on the table.

"Saki-san, are you doing your homework?"

Aunt Uesugi walked up to Himeno Saki Ryōmen with an incredulous look on her face.

"Yes, that's right."

Himeno Saki put down her pen and turned to look at Aunt Uesugi. At home, Himeno Saki was only polite to Aunt Uesugi.

"Saki-san, why have you suddenly become so diligent?"

Faced with her aunt's question, Himeno Saki lowered her head, her long eyelashes unable to conceal the disappointment in her eyes.

"I want to work harder."

"Keep it up!"

Aunt Uesugi watched Himeno Saki drink the milk and happily went outside the room.

He then took out his phone and dialed Mrs. Himeno's number.

Himeno Kiyoyuki, who was resting in the hotel that night, felt uneasy when she received a phone call from home.

"Could it be that Sakura has gotten into trouble?"

Himeko Kiyomi picked up her phone somewhat nervously.

"No, I just brought milk to Saki-san and saw her doing her homework at her desk."

"What, really?"

Upon hearing this news, Hime no Kiyoseki unconsciously pinched her cheek.

"It's true, Saki-san is really doing her homework."

"Thank Buddha, Saki has finally grown up."

Excitedly, Hime no Kiyoseki picked up the Buddhist prayer beads from the bedside table, intending to chant sutras and recite Buddhist scriptures.

"Mr. Yamazaki is amazing."

Aunt Uesugi watched Himeno Saki grow up and felt very emotional.

"Otherwise, he could be a top student from the University of Tokyo!"

"But I'm worried about what will happen after he leaves."

"You mean...?"

"Madam, the one-week period you've set is far too tight."

"Don't worry, as long as Saki is willing to study hard, she won't have any problems with her school exams."

Himeno Kiyoseki said with great certainty.

"Really?"

"Saki inherited my and my grandfather's genes. Her older sister is so outstanding, she must have the genes of a genius too."

Himeno Kiyose said with great arrogance.

Like the other ladies in her social circle, she believed in the power of bloodline.
