I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

It was quiet in early May, probably because the Golden Week was coming and everyone's attention was on how to spend the Golden Week.

After the end of April, there will be another five-day holiday, and those who have plans have already decided on their schedule before then.

On the first day of the long holiday, Tomoya Aki was the only one left at home.

My parents are going back to their hometown in Nagano during the Golden Week. Although I have told Aki Tomoya several times to go back, I asked him to go with them so that we can relax during the Golden Week.

However, Tomoya Aki instead asked them to go back to Nagano to relax and not worry about him.

The parents did not insist, but repeatedly reminded Aki Tomoya to take care of himself. After leaving some living expenses for the Golden Week, they took the Shinkansen back to their hometown in Nagano, leaving Aki Tomoya alone at home.

Staying at home alone, Akitomo didn't think there was anything to worry about. Even before this, his family members had gone on business trips quite a few times a year.

After putting the reference books into his schoolbag, Tomoya Aki, dressed in casual clothes, went out on his bicycle at nine in the morning and arrived at the cram school at ten o'clock.

For others, the Golden Week is a day off, but for those preparing for exams, it actually makes no difference.

Especially in larger cram schools, students in the cram school will be provided with collective training during the holidays.

But judging from the situation at Aomine Academy, Tomoya Aki would not have the idea of ​​training together. After all, Aomine Academy is not as wealthy as other academies, and there is still a gap between one academy and another.

What is fortunate is that the tutor that Tomoya Aki met was quite excellent.

Most of the students who were preparing for the exam arrived at the school around ten o'clock.

"The placement test, this is the first thing we have to do this month. This is Aki's copy."

After everyone arrived, Mr. Tsubota, who had started preparing in mid-April, printed out different test questions for different students in the school.

Even during the Golden Week, Mr. Tsubota still looks full of energy, and his reassuring aura infects the students in the cram school.

"Thank you!"

After taking the test paper for the placement test, Aki Tomoya paid a little attention to the others.

This is what he admires most about Mr. Tsubota. He is the only tutor in the entire Qingfeng Academy, but he is able to provide one-on-one tutoring for different students and develop different study plans for each person.

Akitomo didn't know how much time and effort Mr. Tsubota spent to prepare for the baseline test for everyone in early May, but he was very clear about one thing.

On the road to exam preparation, it is not only the students who are struggling, but also the teachers who spend their efforts to send their students to their dream universities.

"It's 10:20 now. Please finish the first test paper by 12:00. We will continue in the afternoon. Please hurry up!"

Mr. Tsubota raised his right hand, looked at the watch on his wrist and said solemnly.

In early May, the placement test for Qingfeng Academy began.

……

At around 1:00 p.m., a sneaky figure appeared on the street outside the Aki residence.

Wearing a beret that hid all her beautiful golden hair, suspender jeans, a dark brown short-sleeved shirt, and black-framed glasses on her nose, Eriri looked left and right, then sneaked to the door.

“Ahem…Ryouya, um, then then then then… um!”

Before ringing the doorbell, Eriri simulated what she would say when they met, and then she bit her tongue out of embarrassment.

Covering her mouth and squatting at the door of Anyi's house, Ying Lili's face was red, and she was a little worried that the noise just now would disturb others.

After a month of consideration, Eriri felt that it was urgent to restore their childhood sweethearts' normal relationship.

Even though Tomoya Aki is no longer a otaku, we can still be friends.

Looking back on the past, Ying Lili doesn’t know now. If she tries again, who will she prove to?

Revenge on those people with prejudiced eyes?

Or has he really reached a situation where he has to fight alone?

As Tomoya Aki completely stopped being a stay-at-home, Eriri discovered that among the people around her, it seemed that only Kasumigaoka Utaha was still a stay-at-home.

But can they be considered comrades-in-arms?

Although Kasumigaoka Utaha came to her some time ago and expressed her intention to cooperate, Eriri did not agree out of caution.

The current Eriri came to the Aki otaku, and she had no idea of ​​letting Aki Tomoya return to the otaku circle.

Simply speaking as childhood sweethearts, Eriri feels that if they want to repair this relationship and at least be able to be normal friends, then she should at least express her condolences like a normal friend.

The Golden Week seems to be a good time for childhood sweethearts to prepare for college entrance exams after a tense April when school starts.

Eriri thought that during the Golden Week, Aki Tomoya would at least take a break.

However, what she didn't know was that there was actually no one in the Aki house in front of her.

Tomoya Aki's parents have returned to their hometown in Nagano, and Tomoya Aki himself is now in cram school.

rest?

This kind of thing is certainly necessary for candidates preparing for the exam, but how to arrange rest time is also a consideration.

Eriri, who likes to procrastinate on submitting her papers, may not be able to appreciate the strong self-discipline of the candidates.

For candidates preparing for the exam, the word "rest" may even seem like a luxury.

"Hi, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Although she was pretending to greet someone enthusiastically, the smile on Eriri's face didn't last long before it faded.

She sighed, with a hint of bitterness in her green eyes.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell suddenly rang. Ying Lili raised her head and looked at the door in disbelief. She clearly didn't do anything, so why did the doorbell suddenly ring?

"Eri, you're already here, but you don't even have the courage to ring the doorbell. You really disappoint me!"

The beautiful woman in a gorgeous kimono pointed at Eriri with the folding fan in her hand, with a look of disappointment in her eyes.

I hesitated in front of the boy's door. I didn't even have the courage to come here. Don't I have the courage to ring the doorbell? !

Since she is so hesitant, let her, as a mother, give her a push.

"What have you done?"

Eriri screamed, her expression a little flustered. She actually hadn't figured out what to say to Tomoya Aki. There was already a gap between them, and her weak friendship with Tomoya Aki was on the verge of breaking, let alone repairing it.

Sayuri Sawamura looked at Eriri's shrinking appearance and couldn't help but raised her folding fan and shook her head at her daughter. She sighed and said, "Silly child, Amai is not at home now, calm down!"

Indecision is the first point, intelligence gathering is the second point, to sum it up, Eriri is still too young!

I still have to step in to help solve my daughter’s friendship crisis!

Chapter 30 Shen Jiang Warning!

Tomoya Aki and Eriri are childhood sweethearts.

Eriri, Sayuri Sawamura, mother and daughter.

When there was a rift in the friendship between Tomoya Aki and Eriri, it was often Sayuri Sawamura who noticed it first.

From Eriri's daily behavior, her absent-mindedness when drawing, her casualness when drawing the lines, and many other details, Sayuri Sawamura understood what Eriri had experienced.

love?

A group of little kids whose hair hasn't even fully grown yet can wait another two years before saying these two words.

In Sayuri Sawamura's opinion, this is at most a friendship issue and it does not reach the level of love at all.

At least from her perspective as an adult, the friendship between her daughter and Tomoya Aki is very special and much more fragile than that of other childhood sweethearts.

As for why, when friends acted like they were working behind enemy lines, Sayuri Sawamura was also worried about the way they communicated in the past few years.

And now, the conflict between them seems to have finally erupted.

Before May, in late April, all of Eriri's abnormal behavior was seen by Sayuri Sawamura.

She had learned her way around it.

Simply put, her friend had to prepare for the exam and didn't have time to play with Eriri, especially since their way of making friends was so troublesome, if they could just be a little more normal there would be no need to create a rift.

"Why are you here, mom?!"

Ying Lili held her head and cried out, wondering how long her mother had been following her and she hadn't even noticed.

"That's not the point!"

Sayuri Sawamura walked over and grabbed Eriri's hand, staring into her eyes, as if she was torturing Eriri's soul.

"The point is that you hesitate at the crucial moment. That's not okay, Eriri!!"

It is rare to muster up the courage to maintain friendship with friends, but the hesitation in front of the door just now made Sayuri Sawamura, a mother, a little anxious.

What does it mean that you don’t dare to ring the doorbell when you are already here?

Anyway, she already knew that Tomoya Aki was not at home but had gone to the cram school, so Sayuri Sawamura helped her daughter without hesitation.

"Wait, wait a minute, how do you know that Lun is not here?"

Eriri asked anxiously, her eyes filled with doubts.

Why did the mother appear here and why did she know about Tomoya Aki?

"Ahem, I've only heard a little bit about this. Amaki still has to prepare for the exam even during the Golden Week. It's not a wise choice for you to go to him at this time."

Of course, it was impossible for Sayuri Sawamura to say that she had conducted a special investigation. Not only did she know that Aki Tomo was not at home, she even found out which cram school the boy was attending. However, such things were just a small matter for her.

But in front of my daughter, I would just describe it as everyday gossip.

And the most important thing now is to help my lovely daughter solve her friendship problems.

Eriri is used to wearing a mask at school on weekdays, so she has few friends she can truly confide in. However, her childhood sweetheart, Tomoya Aki, who is also an otaku, holds a special place in Eriri's heart.

Sayuri Sawamura knew very well that their friendship could become worse or it could become more intimate than ordinary people.

But as it stands now, since Tomoya Aki is no longer interested in maintaining this underground friendship and wants to focus on preparing for the exam, Eriri no longer has any friends at school with whom she can reveal her true identity in private.

Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha is indeed someone who knows Eriri's true identity, the opportunity for them to be honest with each other has not yet come.

After seeing Eriri's predicament, Sayuri Sawamura, who had been worrying about her daughter's friendship problems, knew that it was time to take action. Otherwise, Eriri would announce that she would take a break from this year's summer CM. She would not be able to draw anything good in this state.

"Listen to me, Eriri, before you want to continue being friends with that kid Aki, you have to confirm one thing first, that is, whether he still considers you a friend!"

Sayuri Sawamura pressed Eriri's shoulder and spoke to her daughter seriously.

In her eyes, her daughter was just worried about friendship.

But even so, Ying Lili must be clear about one thing, that is, when she wants to repair this relationship, she has to consider whether the person on the other end of this relationship still regards her as a friend.

If Aki Tomoya already treats Eriri as a completely unrelated person, no matter how Eriri tries to mend things, it will be in vain.

Sayuri Sawamura can go out in person to help her daughter with her friendship problems, but she never wants to see her daughter get hurt.

"If you dare to hurt my daughter, be prepared to be poured with cement and sunk into Tokyo Bay!"

Of course, it was just a friendship issue, and it wasn't to the point of sinking into the river.

But if possible, Sayuri Sawamura still hopes that Eriri can let her worry less.

"Look into my eyes, I'm your mother and I will definitely help you!"

"But……"

From Eriri's evasive eyes, Sayuri Sawamura realized that it was not that the other party did not trust her, but that Eriri herself lacked confidence.

At this point, Sayuri Sawamura couldn't help but wonder what had happened to the Tomoya Aki in her impression that made Eriri so afraid to face him.

"An Yilun too!"

……

"hiss--"

At Qingfeng Academy, Amaki Tomo shuddered for no reason.

A feeling of resentment came from nowhere, and the chilling feeling was quite strange on such a sunny day.

The palpitation just now distracted Aki Tomoya.

After finishing the Chinese test in the morning, I bought a high-sugar instant lunch box from the supermarket outside to replenish my body during the lunch break. Not long after that, I had the math placement test in the afternoon.

"No chaos, no chaos!"
