I'm a weird expert in Japan

"To borrow books from school, students simply register on the library card inserted inside the book." Setsuna pointed to the title page of the book.

After opening it, you can see a paper bag that was added later, with a white card stuffed in it.

"Oh oh..." Lian closed the book.

"Come to think of it, I didn't see Kasumigaoka-san traveling with you." Setsuna suddenly gossiped.

"You mean that guy?" Lian spread his hands. "He seems to be busy recently."

There are things related to the library and the club, and it seems that he has been pulled over by Woyan Izuko to study.

However, Lian didn't care about what the fan club was doing recently. It seemed that after Shizhu had completely taken control of the operation of the club, the activities were inexplicably suspended and almost stopped.

Is this his little exercise to seize power? This is too small-scale.

The opponent is still so weak.

But when I think of what Shizhu once said about his three brothers, they were hereditary fools, arrogant fools and fools who were only interested in self-preservation.

Lian couldn't tell what Shizhu was thinking.

"Really?" Seeing that Lian didn't seem to be very clear about it, Xue Cai didn't continue gossiping.

She was just a little curious.

There are almost no friends around, so sometimes Setsuna Ogiso actually feels bored.

Lian, who was more talkative than she looked, made her a little happier.

You can talk about some secret topics - even if the content is a bit scary.

"Then I'll leave first. I've already borrowed the book." Lian shook the book. "If you have time after the exam, you can come to the second music room to listen to some music."

Watching Lian leave, Xuecai thought about it.

"The last sentence was really just a polite remark."

Chapter 188 Chapter 1 Rain ()

"…Tokugawa Ieyasu launched the Summer Campaign and the Winter Campaign at the Battle of Sekigahara, and through these two battles he defeated the old retainers of the Toyotomi clan, led by Ishida Mitsunari, and laid the foundation for—"

Hanekawa Tsubasa was walking around the room talking while holding a history textbook, then suddenly stopped behind Touma Kazusa and gently tapped the textbook on Touma Kazusa's head, waking up the drowsy girl.

"Are you that tired? It's just the beginning... uh, ten minutes." Lian couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

Of course, this is a section on Japanese history, and we have already talked about modern Chinese for an hour.

"Haa..." Kazusa yawned.

She went to bed late yesterday out of habit and forgot that today was Saturday and she had to do some cramming before the exam. Just a few minutes after Hanekawa Tsubasa started his lecture on Japanese history, Kazusa fell into a drowsy state.

"It's because these names are so hard to remember..." she complained.

"I thought you were Japanese!" Lian couldn't help but complain, "I grew up abroad and I remember it better than you..."

"Ah……"

However, Hesa ​​remained unmoved and just sneered with an expression as if she saw through everything.

"Hey..." Hanekawa Tsubasa had no choice but to sit down at the low table in front of the two of them. "It doesn't matter. If you remember everything I said, you can get a perfect score on the test. But as for me, it's enough for the two of you to remember at least half of it."

“Oh oh oh…” Lian clapped her hands softly.

"Then it's okay for me to take a nap." Hesa ​​lay there nonchalantly, twisting the eraser with her fingertips and rolling it back and forth for fun.

Hanekawa Tsubasa smiled and said, "No, if you doze off, you won't be able to hear anything. It's good to fill your ears with sound."

"If you just listen to the music, you will definitely forget it." Lian supported his chin with one hand, "This idiot doesn't even have absolute pitch."

"You talk as if you have it?" Hesa ​​disagreed.

That kind of thing is an extremely rare talent.

“I can’t say I have it, but it’s almost there.” Lian pointed to her ears. “My hearing is fully activated, and it’s much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.”

Absolute pitch is the ability to distinguish any tone produced by surrounding instruments or objects without any reference.

Only a very small number of people have it, such as the famous musicians Beethoven and Mozart.

Lian has the ability to distinguish different sounds thanks to the powerful hearing brought by her bloodline.

"Really? This is the first time I've seen—" Hesha glanced at Lian's room.

For Saturday's tutoring session, Hanekawa Tsubasa decided to hold it in the room that Ren lived in at the Shijo family.

Since they had informed them in advance and the tutoring was serious private, Lian's uncle and aunt agreed easily.

The room was very clean, and you could tell it had been cleaned by someone.

There is an electronic keyboard in the corner, but it seems that there is no room for a piano. If needed, you have to go to a special piano room.

"What are you doing? You want to play the piano when you should be studying, and you slack off every day when you should be practicing." Lian stared at Hesha.

"No, I just want to try out whether your absolute pitch is real." Kazusa stood up and walked to the electronic keyboard.

The circuit of the electronic keyboard is connected, and there will be sound when you press it.

She reached out and pressed it a few times to make sure it could make a sound and was not just for show.

Then suddenly several keys were pressed at the same time, and different notes mixed together and sounded at the same time.

"Teacher, can you hear it?" Lian didn't speak, but asked Hanekawa Tsubasa.

"I can roughly hear the feeling of do and so, but I don't know which ones specifically." Hanekawa Tsubasa held his arm and thought for a while.

"I'm testing you, not the teacher." Hesa ​​raised the corners of her lips and revealed a provocative smile.

Lian supported her chin with one hand, "do, mi, so, xi, re."

“…It really works.” Kazusa was surprised.

Then she pressed a few more keys, and this time the sound was even more dissonant, with the difference in their ranges more obvious.

They are do, fa, la, sharp re and falling mi.

Lian was about to answer, treating it as a pastime during his studies, but suddenly stopped.

"Why, I can't hear it anymore."

"No, a guest is coming." Lian stood up and reached out to open the door.

Zhenfei and Di, who were about to get close to the door, froze there in extreme embarrassment.

"Uh……"

"Why are you coming to my place instead of staying in your own room?" Lian let go of the door handle.

It was common for the two of them to come to my room to play, so there was no need to reject them at all.

Before the Emperor could speak, Zhen Fei pushed her brother forward, and the Emperor fell to the ground. Then Zhen Fei stepped on her brother without any care and walked into the room.

"I came to bring drinks and snacks to Brother Lian, but when I got here I saw the Emperor eavesdropping... There's really nothing I can do." Zhen Fei smiled cunningly.

"Eh? It's obviously you, my sister--" Di hurriedly explained.

As a result, Zhenfei kicked him in the ribs again, which did not cause much damage, but served as a strong warning.

"Really? There's nothing you can do." Lian took the tray.

He heard it clearly just now. The concubine and the emperor were whispering outside the door, guessing what was going on in the room.

For the sake of teacher Hanekawa, Lian no longer bothered with her younger siblings about such trivial matters.

"Don't people in your family review for the exam?" Hesa ​​asked helplessly.

"Let's not talk about the fact that Shinki's exam is a week later than ours—" Lian squatted down, locked her brother's neck, and lifted him up, "This guy is a bastard who can get the first place in the country in the mock exam. Do you think you can do better than him even if he doesn't review?"

“……”Hesa was choked.

She just remembered that the playboy Si Tiao Di existed in the mirror world, and the Si Tiao Di in the real world was the peerless young man that Lian praised to the sky.

The mere fact that he had the best grades in the country was enough to put others ahead of him.

"Well, it was only that time..." Di laughed dryly, "If it wasn't for my parents' consent for me to play football in Fengzhizaki, I wouldn't have the heart to work hard. Brother, you know me well. I don't like studying."

"I don't understand. I don't understand a guy like you who can always get the first place in the country in the exam." Lian tightened his wrist around his throat.

Zhenfei crossed her arms, "What is a musician who debuted at the age of twelve talking about here?"

"Oh, oh, the lecture has only been going on for an hour anyway." Hanekawa Tsubasa smiled cheerfully, "Why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea and take a break? Studying all the time is not good for your brain."

"Well, that's fine." Lian could see that Zhenfei and Di were very interested in the situation here.

If he continued to stop them, after it was over, he would be pestered by the two people with all kinds of questions and would not be able to rest in peace.

It would be easier to satisfy curiosity from the beginning...

Moreover, Touma Kazusa just yawned again, and it’s obvious that they really can’t concentrate on learning.

Hopeless……

Chapter 189 Chapter 2 Rain ()

As a result, Zhenfei and Di stayed in Lian's room for a full hour before leaving.

Perhaps because Lian was there, both of them were much more relaxed than they were outside, and talked about all sorts of topics.

Even Kazusa couldn't help but become interested in Mr. Hanekawa's terrifyingly rich experience.

Sensei Hanekawa, who has traveled all over the world, has been to most countries in the world.

It is said that the ultimate goal of the Border Erasing Front organization she joined is to erase all borders in the world.

It was such an ambitious goal that even Lian couldn't believe its feasibility. He just regarded it as a false rumor and never asked the teacher.

Thanks to those two people, the tutoring time itself was compressed a lot. Fortunately, I had already done enough review before, so this one hour less was not a big deal.

Unexpectedly, when Hanekawa Tsubasa and Touma Kazusa were getting ready to leave in the afternoon, it started raining outside.

When Zhenfei's parents went out, they drove away one car, and there was another spare car at home.

"Then let me use this car first." Hanekawa Tsubasa was unexpectedly impolite.

"Eh? Teacher..." Lian wanted to say there was another car.

His car has been repaired and is parked in the garage.

"Thank you for your hard work, Touma-san." Hanekawa Tsubasa motioned for Lian to lower her head, then stroked his hair. "Don't let a girl go home alone in such heavy rain."

"But teacher, you——" Lian wanted to say.

"Don't you want to listen to your teacher?" Hanekawa's smile remained gentle.

"Uh... okay." Lian couldn't continue to object.

After watching Hanekawa Tsubasa leave in her car, Lian took Touma to the garage and drove her home in her own car.

"What are you thinking about?"

After getting in the car, Touma talked to Sa. She was usually like this, so Lian didn't take it to heart. She just said something casually while waiting for the red light at the intersection.

"…Nothing." Kazusa sat up, "I just didn't expect your house to be so lively."

"It's not my family, it's the family of Zhenfei and Di." Lian smiled, but was also very happy, "Because the Shijo family is not the Shinomiya family, the family relationship is much better."

"Really?" Kazusa didn't really understand the relationship between Shinomiya and Shijo.

Anyway, from Lian's words, Hesha could tell that the two families were not just similar in words, but seemed to have a very deep connection.

"To be honest, I don't usually have people over to my house, but today we suddenly had guests, and we even had a study session." Lian said, "They might have been a little long-winded."

"No, we just listen to teacher Hanekawa chatting there." Kazusa shook her head. "That teacher is probably only about 22 or 23 years old this year..."

"Yes." Lian said with a smile, "But in the last half year of high school, the teacher applied for a leave of absence and traveled around the world. He did not take the college entrance examination, nor did he go to college formally."

"Then how did she become a teacher?" Hesa ​​was surprised.

"That's all later." Lian said with a smile, "With Mr. Hanekawa's ability, it won't be difficult to get a university degree certificate."

“That’s very clear.”
