My girlfriend is a bad lady

"Of course." Tamamo Yomi replied impatiently.

She opened the photo album on her mobile phone and showed Watanabe Toru the picture of penguins fighting for food in the water.

Tamamo Haomei's mobile phone is just like her style, covered with various decorative stickers, beautiful and overly gorgeous.

"Look, isn't the penguin cute? The penguins are waving their arms and it makes me want to hold them!"

Kiyono Rin stared at the phone screen and said, "Tamamo-san, those are flippers."

"These are obviously hands! How can they be feet if they are growing on both sides of the body?!"

"Tamamo-san, if you like it, you should spend more time to understand it."

Tamamo Yoshimi glared at Watanabe Toru.

Why are you glaring at me? Even though I've studied marine life, I don't know anything about penguins... However, Watanabe Toru believed Kiyono Rin, he nodded and said, "It's the flippers."

The beautiful scent of Tamamo suddenly intensified, and the sweet scent that Watanabe Toru was used to came over him again. He dodged slightly and smelled the very comfortable fragrance of Kiyono Rin again.

"Xiao Che, which one do you like, penguins or dolphins?" Tamamo Yomi asked in the tone of a girlfriend.

Qingye Rin put her hand on her chin: "It's hard to decide... But dolphins are cuter, they are more humane."

"I didn't ask you!" Tamamo Haomei gave her a white look, then stared at Watanabe Toru with a fierce look.

"My opinion is not important, right?" Toru Watanabe glanced at the pool and wondered why they hadn't started yet.

Dolphins are really lazy animals.

"I also want to know which side Watanabe-san will choose." Qing Ye Lin showed a kind smile like a judge giving a criminal a chance, "It's time to prove your aesthetic taste, Watanabe-san."

Are these two women sick?

"I don't like dolphins or penguins," said Toru Watanabe. "I like the wild animals that roam the countryside and the oxen that chew the grass on the ridges of the fields."

"The aesthetic taste of a country bumpkin." Tamamo Haomei snorted.

"It's really bad." Qingye Rin nodded, as decisive and ruthless as a judge who said "no hope, death penalty" after listening to the statement.

"I say, you two have done enough. Especially you, Kiyono-san, you have also read The Great Gatsby, right? Didn't you learn anything from the first sentence of the book, "Whenever you want to criticize others, remember that not everyone in the world has the advantages you have?"

"But Watanabe, this world is inherently unfair. The only thing you can do is to work hard to change yourself, rather than trying to negotiate with the other party and force them to give up their advantages, even if these advantages are determined by birth."

"...I can't beat you." Watanabe Toru admitted defeat.

Qingye Rin smiled slightly: "You are already amazing for challenging me with the will to win."

"Winning or losing doesn't matter, but..." Watanabe Toru said sternly, "I don't allow you to say that cows are not cute. Cows are such hardworking animals. Not only can they do manual labor, but they can also be milked and their meat can be eaten!"

"Eh?" Tamamo Haomi looked confused, "Isn't the cute part too weird?"

"It's not just that, it can also help with homework."

"Have you finished your homework?" the two beautiful girls asked at the same time.

"The old cow in the village defecated a huge pile of shit on the way to school. I was deeply impressed. So when I couldn't think of what to write for my summer report during the summer vacation of my second year in junior high school, I made up a paper called "A Study on Cow's Diet, Farm Work and Feces."

Watanabe Toru spread his hands and concluded: "Look how cute cows are!"

Tamamo was so beautiful that I was speechless for a moment.

She developed a fear of Watanabe Toru's hometown, and actually pooped on the road?! Even though it was a cow.

Qingye Rin rubbed her temples. She felt a headache after hearing this.

"Watanabe-san, cuteness does not equal usefulness. I hope you understand that. Also, when it comes to research, you can't just make up stories."

When Toru Watanabe was about to continue explaining his aesthetic views, the dolphin in the pool suddenly jumped up, and no one listened to him anymore.

After the dolphin show, which was far less interesting than cows eating grass (Toru Watanabe's personal opinion), Tamamo Yoshimi suggested going to the gift shop to buy aquarium peripherals, but he left first on the pretext that he had a part-time job in the afternoon.

After leaving them, Toru Watanabe turned into a DVD store near Shinagawa Station to rent a DVD with the original English soundtrack.

As for Spanish, he hasn't gotten started yet and doesn't plan to practice listening and speaking through this entertaining method for the time being.

Toru Watanabe knew nothing about American TV series. After walking around the store, he not only failed to find any suitable TV series, but because he had some money on him, he couldn't help but buy the Blu-ray disc of the first season of "Sword Art Online".

"I should have consulted Kiyono Rin earlier."

Toru Watanabe doesn't mind asking for advice from people he hates, as long as the other person is indeed better than him and is willing to guide him.

Just as I was taking out my phone to see if there was any similar information online, a familiar figure walked into the store.

"Watanabe-san, aren't you working a part-time job?" Kiyono Rin, who had not only clothes but also dolphin and penguin stuffed animals, laughed.

At this point, this level of venomous tongue no longer makes Watanabe Toru angry.

He glanced at the two white dolls in a transparent plastic bag and said, "Thank you for not exposing me just now."

"Although I hate lying, I don't have the habit of exposing others as long as they don't lie to me."

"I see." Watanabe Toru nodded, and then said as if he remembered something: "By the way, I just want to ask you for help. Please recommend me some American TV series that can help me practice speaking and listening."

"I can practice with any American TV series if I want, but if you ask me to recommend one, I'd choose Downton Abbey and Doctor Who."

"Thank you."

Watanabe Toru was about to go find it, but Kiyono Rin said, "Here are all DVDs, and they are subtitled versions for the general public. If you need them, I can lend you mine."

"May I?"

Qing Ye Lin smiled proudly: "One moment I target you, the next moment I lend you my personal belongings. This is my sixth way to make you fall in love with me."

How come the fifth one, like the second and third, is missing again?

But forget it, Toru Watanabe is not interested in these things, and he would be ridiculed if he asked.

Learning is still important.

He said, "If it's possible, can you lend it to me now? I want to start reading it today."

Qingye Rin thought about it for a moment and nodded: "Wait a moment."

Then she walked around the store and picked up a few Blu-ray discs.

When checking out, Toru Watanabe saw the cover, which was a documentary about dolphins and penguins.

Rin Kiyono lives in an apartment near the school, and Toru Watanabe discovered that he could see this tall building from his simple rental house.

It turns out that the two of them lived so close to each other, maybe they had bought barley tea from the same shelf in the same supermarket - Watanabe Toru could only think of barley tea, and it is possible that Kiyono Rin only drank black tea.

After a while, Kiyono Rin came down from upstairs and handed Watanabe Toru two discs, which were the Blu-ray versions of "Downton Abbey" and "Doctor Who" without subtitles.

"You lent me a book before, and now you lent me a disc. I really don't know what to say... I'll treat you to a meal next time I'm free. It doesn't matter if it's somewhere fancy."

Qing Ye Lin shook her head, her black hair swaying: "No, I want a drink in the future, just don't say you don't have money."

Watanabe Toru smiled: "Qingye, I find that you are actually quite good. Even if I don't like you, I am happy to be friends with someone like you."

"No." The voice of rejection was the immediate answer.

"..."

Seeing Watanabe Toru's frowning face, Kiyono Rin smiled brightly.

"Didn't I say that at the barbecue restaurant? I won't be friends with people who lie, unless you admit that you are not a human being."

"Goodbye." Watanabe Toru turned and left.

Because the rental house was not far away, Toru Watanabe chose to walk home, and ended up sweating.

After taking a shower and pouring a cup of iced barley tea, he watched "Downton Abbey" while watching the fan.

"There can be too much truth in any relationships."

Watanabe Toru repeated it in the same graceful tone, and then translated: "When people speak the truth too much, it will backfire."

“Totally agree!”

He raised his glass to the characters on TV.

Toru Watanabe listened to this sentence three times, and only continued reading after confirming that the sentence and tone were exactly the same.

Next time I argue with Qing Ye Lin, I will use this sentence to make her “reap the consequences”.

When he thought of this scene, Toru Watanabe felt that the barley tea in his hand suddenly had the aroma of black tea.

Chapter 43 Do you think I still have a chance?

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. When Watanabe Toru went to the public swimming pool to swim at night, he found that there were a lot more people. It was no longer realistic to swim 50 meters back and forth without stopping.

He had to give up the free stuff and got a swimming card at the gym.

On the afternoon of Monday, May 5, heavy rain suddenly hit Tokyo.

The originally clear sky was covered with dark clouds in a few seconds, and water droplets covered the entire window glass, making crackling sounds.

Although Toru Watanabe, who was taking a modern society class, did not bring an umbrella, he was in a good mood. He remembered that it had not rained for a long time. It was really a long time since we last saw such a rain.

Mr. Inoue, who teaches modern society, stopped, looked out the window, pushed up his black-framed glasses, and turned on the fluorescent light.

A warm atmosphere permeated the dim classroom.

"This economic phenomenon is not common but has always existed, for example, on Wall Street in 1994..."

After the course.

"Wow, it's really raining hard."

“This should be the plum rain, right?”

"It could also be just a normal summer rainstorm."

"Idiot! It's only May now, and summer hasn't really arrived yet. How can it be a summer rainstorm?"

Saito Keisuke and Kunii Osamu were arguing over meaningless things by the window.

Watanabe Toru packed his schoolbag and asked, "Are you going or not?"

"Here we come!" The two hurried back to their seats and picked up their schoolbags.

The three of them went to the club building together. On the way, they heard many people talking about the sudden rainstorm. The whole campus was filled with a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

After walking through the overhead corridor and arriving at the club building, the three of them each went to their own activity room - before the midterm exam was over, it might be more appropriate to call it a study room.

In the activity classroom of the Human Observation Department on the fifth floor, Miki Kujo fell asleep on the sofa. Estimating the time, she probably didn't go to class in the afternoon.

She usually looks superior, but she is very ordinary when she sleeps, with her whole body curled up and a pillow in her arms.

Brand new comics and light novels were scattered around the sofa, the tea in the cup was still warm, and the ending screen of Mario Kart was playing on the TV.

The game ID named "Kujo Miki" ranked first.

Toru Watanabe walked to his seat while looking around, and the sound of the steel chair being pulled open woke her up.

"Watanabe? I'll kill you if you make another sound." Without opening her eyes, Kujo Miki muttered softly, hugged the pillow even tighter and continued to sleep.

I'm still in a bad mood when I wake up.

Watanabe Toru was decisive and quiet.

Not to mention Kujo Miki, who has a bad temper. Even someone who is usually a good person will have the urge to kill or even destroy the world once she gets angry when she wakes up.

When he took out "Spanish Grammar and Vocabulary" from his schoolbag, Qingye Rin walked in with light steps and frowned slightly when she saw the mess on the floor.

Her movement in pulling open the steel chair was gentler than Watanabe Toru's, and the noise she made was very small, so she didn't wake up Kujo Miki.

After sitting down, Qingye Rin took out a book to read as usual.

This time it is the full English "Animal Encyclopedia: Dolphins".

Watanabe Toru saw this book when he went to Kinokuniya Bookstore on Sunday, but it was an island language version translated by Ito Toshiichi.

Because he was not interested in dolphins, and "Tokyo Handsome" did not need to know about dolphins, so he did not watch it.

The three of them listened to the sound of rain, read encyclopedias, learned Spanish, and slept soundly, until a deafening thunder woke up Kujo Miki.

She knelt down on the sofa, staring blankly into space, and after a long while she said, "Watanabe, bring me some grapes."

"I'm studying."

"Bang!" Toru Watanabe grabbed the flying pillow, which still had the lingering scent of Miki Kujo on it.

"Go quickly." The girl who threw the pillow ordered while falling down again.

Watanabe Toru put the pillow under his buttocks with dissatisfaction, ready to use it as a cushion.
