Tokyo Love Story

"When you encounter a problem that you can't solve no matter how you try, your first reaction should not be to bite the bullet and try again, but to selectively seek help, especially if there are people around you who can help you."

Kitagawa Che sighed and looked back at Tsugumi Seina.

Their eyes met in the air.

He considered his words and said, "Sometimes, making a decision requires a lot of courage, and this courage may not be fully possessed by oneself.

"But we can draw some 'strength' from the people around us."

After she finished speaking, a complex look flashed across Tsugumi Seirina's eyes, but she still didn't say anything.

call.

Seeing her like this, Kitagawa Che took a deep breath, frowned slightly, took a step forward, put his hands on Tsugumi Seina's shoulders, and asked seriously, "Now, I don't want to hear those perfunctory words anymore. I just want to ask you, are you willing to face the problems you need to face alone?"

"I……"

Tsuchiya Seina's chest rose and fell violently. She glanced at Kitagawa Che and subconsciously tried to avoid his sight, but the two hands on her shoulders just exerted force a little bit, and her "escape" turned into a passing cloud.

After much hesitation, she finally spoke out what was in her heart.

"I don't want to."

Hearing this, Beichuan Che breathed a sigh of relief and smiled relaxedly.

If Tsugumi Serina really continues to be stubborn, he will really be helpless.

Fortunately, she relented.

He won the game this time.

"so……"

Tsugumi Seina's voice became even softer. She could feel her heart pounding. She was nervous yet also a little expectant.

"so?"

Beichuan Che repeated her words.

"Che, I..." Tsugumi Seina was silent for a moment, "Let's make a promise."

"What agreement?"

"You said before that you would help me, right?"

There was a hint of unconfidence in Tsugumi Seina's voice.

"Yes."

Beichuan Che nodded.

If he didn't want to help, he wouldn't have dragged her out in the first place.

"Well, if, I mean if..." Tsugumi Seina looked at Kitagawa Che cautiously, like a drowning person who finally found a floating plank, "Then I encounter a problem that I can't solve. Can you please help me once?"

The story of the princess and the dragon reverses again at this moment.

The princess who guards the dragon, this time, needs the dragon to protect her.

Hearing this, Beichuan Che smiled.

"of course."

That was what he had intended.

Two-in-one pinch.

Thank you to Teacher Z for the reward, and thank you to Teacher Wu Yu Wu Qing for the monthly ticket. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 208 Satisfaction

Friday, lunch break,

"Speaking of which, have you heard?"

In the classroom of Class A of Grade 1, Taku Kiriyama, who was sitting at his seat, lowered his voice and spoke mysteriously to the boy sitting behind him.

"What did you hear?"

The boy pushed his glasses up, propped up his chin with his left hand, and looked at the student sitting in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

Although Kiriyama Taku was usually cheerful and unruly, people who knew him well knew that this "information dealer" within the class was incredibly accurate in his gossip.

To use a phrase that everyone often jokes about, when it comes to the rumors within Shirakawa High School, you can disbelieve anyone, but you have to believe what Kiriyama Taku says.

This is enough to show a glimpse of the problem.

"After the school festival, the teacher of Class E was very dissatisfied with the performance of Class E."

At this point, Kiriyama Taku sneered and made a face.

God knows what the lady who was jokingly called 'in menopause' was thinking. As far as he knew, the idea of ​​Class E's school festival was proposed by her and she was the one who prepared it.

As expected, the content of their class became the worst in the entire first year of high school.

It can't keep up with the times and the overall effect is quite poor.

Under such circumstances, the fact that this teacher can still shamelessly put the blame on the students is truly beyond the normal person's cognition.

"The problem is..." The boy with glasses frowned, looking surprised, "Isn't it her who decides the content of their class?"

This matter is known to everyone in the grade.

On the spam forum of Shirakawa High School, the anonymous post even topped the forum's hot search list for a time, but it was soon discovered by the school staff. Although the post was not deleted, they still gave it a cold treatment.

However, the message that should be delivered has already been delivered, and such cold treatment is somewhat self-evident.

"Yes." Kiriyama Taku nodded, turned around, and took out the fried noodles bread that he had finally managed to get in the cafeteria today from his desk. Then he turned around and unwrapped the bread while slowly telling the story, "Then, she severely criticized the students in Class E."

The boy with glasses looked even more weird. "Won't the students unite to boycott her like this?"

"Congratulations, you can answer the question now."

Speaking of this, Kiriyama Taku was very happy.

"The reason why the principal's office was so busy this morning is because..." He blinked, "You know what I mean."

The boy with glasses nodded and made an 'ok' gesture.

Things have come to this point, if he still doesn't understand the meaning, then he is too slow.

"I think, with the principal's temper, this matter will definitely be dealt with seriously."

A girl nearby interrupted the conversation and said this thoughtfully.

The principal of Shirakawa High School is on the side of the students

——This is almost the consensus of all students of Shirakawa High School.

"It's about the same."

Kiriyama Taku shrugged and took a bite of bread.

"Your answer..."

The girl pursed her lips, feeling that Kiriyama Taku's answer was somewhat ambiguous.

"However, compared to this, I am more concerned about another thing."

Kiriyama Taku uttered these words incoherently while chewing the bread in his mouth.

"another thing?"

The girl looked at Kiriyama Taku with some curiosity.

Even though she didn't say it explicitly, her big, twinkling eyes told it all.

"It's about Rina-san from our class." After swallowing the bread in his mouth, Kiriyama Taku straightened his expression, with some worry in his eyes, "She hasn't come to school since yesterday. On Monday and Tuesday, she was often distracted in class. This would have been impossible in the past."

“Maybe you have encountered some problems in life?”

The boy with glasses glanced at Kiriyama Taku and made a guess.

"Hmm." Kiriyama Taku nodded and pursed his lips. "According to the teachers, that is indeed the case."

The teachers of various subjects who were in charge of teaching Tsugumi Makina's classes all said that something happened to Tsugumi Makina at home and she needed to go home to deal with it. She would come back after she had dealt with those things.

"But." Kiriyama Taku sighed and shook his head, "I always feel that things are not as easy as they say."

He instinctively felt that if everything was really as simple as those teachers said, with Teacher Tsugumi Makoto's personality, she would not be in that state on Monday and Tuesday.

In his opinion, teacher Tsuchiya Seina has always been conscientious and responsible during class. In the past, she would not only be distracted, but would also turn her phone to silent mode by default.

Combined with her performance this week, it's just weirdly tight.

"But what else can we do except believe what they say?"

The girl sighed and lowered her eyebrows.

"Too."

Kiriyama Taku shook his head, and for no reason, he turned his head and his eyes fell on the empty seat.

Today, Beichuan Che also took a leave.

According to the biology teacher, he also encountered some problems, so he couldn't come to school today.

It's quite a coincidence.

Thinking of this, Taku Kiriyama sat back in his seat and lowered his head to eat bread.

*

In the study room on the third floor of Tsugumi Makoto's house.

"Is he here?"

Tsugumi Makoto put down the book in his hand, raised his head, and his eyes fell on his son's face.

"Five minutes to go."

Tsugumi Makoto Shunsuke nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.

"Where's Rina?"

Tsugumi Makoto asked another question.

"She is still very determined and doesn't want to."

Tsugumi Makoto Shunsuke answered honestly.

As a father, he knew his daughter's personality very well. If before on the phone, Tsugumi Seina gave him the feeling that she was still a little confused, then now, she seemed to have really made up her mind.

Since she returned home on Thursday, the attitude she displayed made him feel an indescribable sense of strangeness.

I feel like my daughter has finally grown up.

"Is this so..."

Tsuchiya Seiichi's stern face relaxed unconsciously, and a hint of visible satisfaction flashed across his eyes.

Facts have proved that people do need to be pushed.

My granddaughter's side has been taken care of.

So……

The only place left is Beichuan.

How long will it take for that kid to arrive?

Tsugumi Makoto narrowed his eyes, and his face, which was full of wrinkles from time, showed a hint of anticipation.

Thank you for your monthly tickets from the Grand Commander, Jiuxi Yanwu and other teachers. Your support is my motivation for writing.

Chapter 209 I shouldn’t be late, right?

When the afternoon sun shines on the sea and the blue sea surface sparkles, time has come to the sleepy afternoon.

On the coastal highway, a black sedan was speeding at the maximum speed limit on this section of road.

"Did Rina tell you the situation?"

Sitting in the driver's seat, Hoshino Ai considered her words and took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence in the car.
