I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

From home to Sensoji Temple, Eriri arrived there before the agreed time.

August is the month when Japan is filled with a festive atmosphere, as there are many festivals, big and small, in August.

The number of people outside Sensō-ji Temple today is several times more than usual.

It only gets more lively at night, and if you want to watch the fireworks, it's best to find a good seat in advance.

Arriving at Sensoji Temple half an hour early, Eriri thought she had arrived early enough, but she ended up seeing a stunning figure outside the temple.

"I didn't expect you to be so punctual, Sawamura."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's wine-red eyes moved towards Eriri's figure.

"You're here pretty early...Ren isn't free tonight either, so it's just the two of us."

Eriri replied unwillingly under the aura of Kasumigaoka Utaha, and then told her that Aki Tomoya couldn't come, so that she wouldn't have to ask people in the evening.

However, Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't show any surprise when she heard this.

Such a calm reaction made Eriri wonder if her worries were unnecessary.

"I expected that."

The fact that Tomoya Aki couldn't come didn't surprise Kasumigaoka Utaha, but in fact she had already expected it.

It would be strange if he came, and it would be so awkward if we really had to go to a summer festival together.

"Yes, Tomoya has to go to the cram school six days a week and comes home very late every day. It's really hard to prepare for the exam. It seems that you are also going to enter college, so why are there two different styles?"

At this time, Eriri couldn't help but sigh. She didn't show any disappointment in front of Kasumigaoka Utaha, but she was very curious why Kasumigaoka Utaha was so relaxed.

Compared to other people who are preparing for college entrance exams, Kasumigaoka Utaha really has it too easy, and she even has time to work on her light novels.

That's why Eriri knows two people who are about to enter college, but their styles are really different.

Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, shook her head and explained, "It's just that you didn't see me studying, and my first choice of university is a private university, not a national university. If I choose a national university, do you think I will have time to play with you?"

Having got an A in the last mock exam, Kasumigaoka Utaha is not worried about further studies. Instead, the teachers at school are counting on her to get into early college. If her grades drop a little, she will be called in for a talk, which is very troublesome.

"...Anyway, the difference in style is really huge."

The corners of Eriri's mouth twitched.

This is what a genius is like. He doesn’t have to worry about exams.

"I say, if that guy isn't coming, are you still interested in visiting the Summer Festival today?"

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked the question that concerned her most.

She was surprised at first when Eriri invited her to go to the temple fair on the day of the fireworks display.

But after seeing that Eriri was planning to invite Tomoya Aki, Kasumigaoka Utaha began to doubt Eriri's motives.

Thinking about it later, this guy probably has impure motives!

"Eh? Why aren't you interested? Do you have anything else to do today?"

However, Eriri looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in confusion at this time, not understanding what the other party meant.

Even if Aki Tomoyuki didn't come, and it was just her and Kasumigaoka Utaha, she was planning to relax today. What did she mean by "I'm not interested if that guy doesn't come"?

Seeing that Eriri's expression didn't look fake, Kasumigaoka Utaha asked in surprise, "Didn't you just want to invite that Amaki guy, and then call me to be your wingman to cover it up?"

At the same time, because she expected that Aki Tomoya would not come, in order to avoid embarrassing Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha agreed.

"..."

Eriri frowned and was stunned when she heard what Kasumigaoka Utaha said. When she almost figured it out, her face instantly turned dark.

"Why would I do that?!"

Eriri, who was extremely depressed at the moment, replied loudly.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri who looked depressed at the moment, and her expression gradually became a little awkward. At the same time, she took this opportunity to slowly say, "Don't you like that guy?"

Chapter 72: Literature is Heaven! (4/6)

Huchi...

Aki Tomoya rubbed his nose. For some reason he felt like sneezing.

I don’t know who is praising him for being handsome now.

"It's time for Amai-san. I'm here to collect the papers."

Junko Harumi came over at the right time and took away Tomoya Aki's test exercises.

After receiving the test paper from Tomoya Aki, who was rubbing his nose and had a strange expression, Harumi Junko asked in confusion, "Aki-san, are you feeling unwell?"

Upon hearing this, Aki Tomoya shook his head. It was just that his nose was a little itchy, not that he was uncomfortable.

"You still have to take care of your health. Although the exam preparation period is very stressful, you should stay healthy while reviewing. Do you usually get enough rest?"

Harumi Junko reminded him tirelessly at this time.

Although I used to be a somewhat irresponsible tutor, I have seen many candidates who did not pay attention to their health.

There is nothing wrong with working hard, but it is questionable whether working too hard can achieve the desired results.

After spending several months together, Junko Harumi also had a certain understanding of Tomoya Aki's situation.

He went to cram school at his own expense, gained his parents' support with his first semester's grades, and was incredibly determined in his goals.

After changing the tutoring classes from three days a week to six days a week, he was able to adapt quickly and get into the state, which shows that he is usually quite self-disciplined.

Junko Harumi envied people like this who were moving towards their goals with their own will, because she was an excellent student in her school days and also aimed to go to the University of Tokyo, but everything including the entrance exam to the University of Tokyo was arranged by her mother.

All studies are done under the arrangement of my mother.

The University of Tokyo was not so much Junko Harumi's goal as it was a goal her mother arranged for her.

This is also the reason why, when Junko Harumi got excited, she ran out to catch up with Tomoya Aki and told him that she wanted to help Tomoya Aki get admitted to the University of Tokyo, and even made a big promise to Sayaka Kudo later.

Perhaps there was a factor of making up for past regrets, but more importantly, it was the first time that Junko Harumi wanted to do this.

"Harumi-sensei, keep up this enthusiasm when you face other students in the cram school. Then you will be an excellent tutor and look very cool."

A smile appeared on Tomoya Aki's face.

He is also gradually accepting this failed adult. When Junko Harumi is serious, she can still show her brilliance.

However, Junko Harumi was not so confident when facing other students.

"...I want to, too, but it will be a long-term job to change their impressions except for Aki-san and Kudo-san."

Harumi Junko said this with a wry smile.

There was a hint of trouble on her sweet face.

Because the decadent atmosphere had already penetrated into their bones, other students were more or less affected, so the first impression is really important!

But compared to the beginning, things are better now. Junko Harumi is slowly integrating into Aomine Academy.

"Well, take your time. It's already noon. Amai-san should take a good rest."

Harumi Junko became optimistic for a rare moment.

It was already noon and Qingfeng Academy entered its break time.

It was only after Junko Harumi reminded him that Tomoya Aki felt his stomach beginning to protest.

After tidying up the things on the table, Tomoya Aki was the last one to leave the school.

After spending half an hour outside having lunch and taking a walk, he was the first to come back.

"Hey, there's a new guy?"

Tomoya Aki discovered that there was a girl of the same age talking to Mr. Tsubota in the office.

He looked inside curiously.

The girl had waist-length hair and wore a headband. In Tomoya Aki's opinion, her appearance was outstanding.

Tomoya Aki guessed that the girl in casual clothes was most likely a newcomer in the school. Recently, Sayaka Kudo was going to take the entrance exam for Keio University. Which university was she going to apply to this time?

Aki Tomoya smiled in his heart, slowly returned to his seat, leaned against the partition on the desk, squinted his eyes, and planned to take a short break.

About ten minutes later, Junko Harumi walked out of the office and walked quietly behind Tomoya Aki.

"are you asleep?"

Junko Harumi muttered softly, then carefully placed the corrected paper on Tomoya Aki's desk.

"Thank you, and I just didn't sleep."

Aki Tomoya opened his eyes and said, almost making Harumi Junko jump in fright.

Her pupils suddenly contracted, and she was frightened and said unhappily, "Don't scare me!"

As usual, he was the first one to come back during lunch break. This time, Junko Harumi thought that Akitomo couldn't hold on and fell asleep, but it turned out that he was just resting with his eyes closed.

That just now made Junko Harumi's heart beat very fast.

"Feel sorry."

Tomoya Aki didn't expect that Junko Harumi would be scared by this. At this time, he was a little amused by Junko Harumi's reaction.

At the same time, he glanced at the office and asked curiously, "Where did the new recruits choose to go?"

After hearing what Aki Tomoya said, Harumi Junko subconsciously turned around and looked towards the office.

"He's a sophomore at Ichinose Academy, and an honors student at that. He's a bit troublesome."

Junko Harumi looked at the girl through the office glass, and the expression on her face was quite complicated at this time.

Hearing her subtle tone, Amaki Tomoya was a little puzzled: "Excellent students, isn't that great? If they come to our cram school and get admitted to a prestigious school, along with me, a student from the University of Tokyo, and the students from Keio next door, wouldn't this be a good advertisement?"

As he spoke in a teasing tone, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but think of the liberal arts genius named Fumino Furuhashi because of the Ichinose Academy mentioned by Harumi Junko.

Harumi Junko burst out laughing, then shook her head and sighed, "Let me not praise your confidence and sense of humor, but the situation is much more complicated than you think. Please think about it, why would an excellent student from Ichinose come to an elementary school like ours for consultation?"

After saying that, Harumi Junko shook her head and sighed heavily. It seemed that the students who came this time really gave her a headache.

"I know the difference between Toyosaki and Ichinose, but if you don't explain, I can't guess what's wrong with this girl."

Of course, Tomoya Aki knew what Junko Harumi meant.

To put it simply, candidates need cram schools, and cram schools need candidates. The latter cram schools, especially those at the quasi-first-class level or above, are in great need of excellent candidate students.

Similarly, excellent cram schools are better equipped to attract outstanding candidates.

That's why this matter is strange.

Why on earth would that girl come to consult an elementary school like Qingfeng Academy in person?

"Ichinose Academy's current liberal arts genius Fumino Furuhashi has now come to our school to ask if we can help her take the science exam. Do you think she's playing a trick on us?"

Harumi Junko replied weakly at this time.

And Aki Tomoya widened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Fumino Furuma?"

Chapter 73 Liberal Arts Genius (5/6)

During the summer festival, I asked to come to the cram school instead of going to play with my friends at the summer festival.

At first, Tomoya Aki was just curious about this girl.

However, after learning that the girl's name was Fumino Furuhashi, Akitomo remembered the one belonging to Fumino Furuhashi among the short essays he had used as references before.

When Mr. Tsubota was collecting those articles for Tomoya Aki, did he ever think that he would meet one of them?

Akitomo didn't know how Mr. Tsubota felt right now, but he was quite confused at the moment.

"How will she take the science exam? Is her dream a national university?"

Aki Tomoya asked subconsciously.

In his impression, Fumino Furuhashi is a genius in the liberal arts department of Ichinose Academy.
