I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

Her reaction was becoming increasingly strange to Kasumigaoka Utaha, so she couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I just feel quite emotional."

"Feelings? You're someone who can easily get into Tokyo University of Art and Musashino Art, so I don't have time to envy you."

At this time, Kasumigaoka Utaha was not polite at all.

If we really have to compare, Eriri is more ruthless.

Just get the recommendation and go wherever you want.

"I can't help it. I rely on the award I got, and I also want to stay in Tokyo!"

"...In other words, if you don't want to stay in Tokyo, you can go abroad and find a better place, right?"

People are really different.

Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Eriri with an expressionless face. Now she couldn't tell whether she was envious or jealous of this blonde tsundere.

And in this room, the person who was feeling the most uncomfortable was actually Machida Sonoko.

"What's wrong with today's young people? They are clearly a group of relaxed people..."

Machida Sonoko couldn't help but hold her forehead and mutter.

The generation of young people she knows are all really ruthless.

The famous comic book artist is actually a blonde lady in real life, and has won many awards in real life.

The popular author under his command is a female high school student, so she should have been chosen at random.

"I feel more relieved about Amai-kun. He studied hard for the cram school entrance exam to the University of Tokyo, and he looks more real than these two..."

Machida Enzi sighed inwardly.

Whether it is Eriri or Kasumigaoka Utaha, they can easily achieve what others cannot achieve even after working hard for a long time.

Machida Sonoko knew such a person in the past, and her most profound memory was her good friend Akane Benizaka from college.

Machida Sonoko also has talent and aptitude, but compared to the two young men in front of her, it is somewhat insufficient.

But as long as everyone is human, they have flaws. Thinking of this, Machida Sonoko felt much more balanced.

"Let's get down to business, Teacher Kasumi Shiko."

Machida Sonoko said to Kasumigaoka Utaha who was still questioning Eriri.

She knew what Eriri was hiding, and she had also heard a little about Tomoya Aki's three wishes.

"My third choice is Keio University School of Medicine. Should I hope that Aki-kun will do well enough to get into my first choice?"

Thinking of this, Machida Sonoko felt like she was back to last year when she was worrying about Tomoya Aki and Utaha Kasumigaoka.

After thinking it over carefully, Machida Sonoko decided that she should stop interfering. Something had already happened last year, so now she should just do her job well.

Some things, even if they are well-intentioned, can turn out to be bad.

At the end of January, Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were discussing the creation of the third volume of the new work with Machida Sonoko from the editorial department.

On the first Sunday of February, Kasumigaoka Utaha received her admission tickets from Keio University and Sophia University, and prepared to take the Keio University Faculty of Literature exam the following week.

Chapter 135 True Childhood Sweethearts (4/4)

February 4th, the first Sunday of this month, after the first test on the 20th of last month, at this point in time, except for private universities that can directly enter with the unified examination scores, candidates who are required to take the second test have begun to receive the corresponding admission tickets of the universities they applied for.

The admissions to private universities will be completed before the second exam for public universities.

Those who plan to apply to national universities, in addition to obtaining admission tickets for private universities as a backup, are also waiting for the release of the first test selection list on next Sunday, the 11th.

Although the results of the first test have been released, the selection of applicants by national and public universities based on the results of the first test is another matter.

This is the biggest difference between the entrance exams for national and public universities and private universities. For the latter, you just need to register for the exam directly, but for the former, even if you apply for the exam, you may have failed before the selection list is released.

"Um, that's the guy behind the black girl on New Year's Day, right?"

Outside the Aki residence, Eriri, who was about to ring the doorbell, was startled by the sound behind her and jumped to the side with a scream.

She looked at Michiru Hyodo in surprise, who had appeared out of nowhere, and only calmed down after recognizing her identity.

"Renya's cousin?"

"you know me?"

Michiru Hyodo, with a guitar on her back, looked at Eriri with interest.

Michiru Hyodo remembered New Year's Day very well.

Because of the arrival of Akane Akinaka, Tomoya Aki applied eye drops to her.

"Hello, Sawamura Eriri."

"Hyoudou Michiru, thank you for your guidance... But let's not use honorifics, it's quite strenuous."

When communicating with people of the same age, Michiru Hyodo is not very used to using honorifics, and feels more comfortable using plain language.

But recently, she has changed a little. I guess it depends on the person. She decides which person should be addressed with honorifics and which with plain language.

"Are you here to see Alan? Aren't you going to ring the doorbell?"

Michiru Hyodo walked to the door and pressed the doorbell as she spoke.

Eriri smiled awkwardly. She was just about to ring the doorbell, but who knew Michiru Hyodo would suddenly show up.

"Are you Tomoya's girlfriend?"

After the meeting while waiting outside, Hyodo Michiru asked Eriri curiously.

Her eyes were gleaming with gossip.

Eriri was stunned for a moment, then quickly denied: "Oh, no, no, we're just childhood friends who I've known since elementary school..."

"You're blushing... But Alan never told me that he has a childhood sweetheart like you in Tokyo!"

Michiru Hyodo looked at Eriri in surprise.

After learning that the other party was Tomoya Aki's childhood sweetheart in Tokyo, as an ultimate childhood sweetheart who was born on the same day as Tomoya Aki in his hometown in Nagano, she was very surprised that Tomoya Aki had such a mixed-race childhood sweetheart in Tokyo.

Akitomo never said that before.

“I’ve really never heard him talk about this before!”

Michiru Hyodo grumbled somewhat dissatisfiedly.

She thought that Tomoya Aki had told Eriri about her, but he had never told her about Eriri.

However, when talking about this matter, Eriri felt particularly embarrassed.

This matter is difficult to explain.

In fact, a qualified childhood sweetheart should be someone like Michiru Hyodo.

For the past decade or so, Eriri and Tomoya Aki's relationship has remained underground.

“…I just got to know you recently.”

What else could Eriri say? Should she tell Michiru Hyodo that she had not dared to reveal her relationship with Tomoya Aki in front of others before?

It was not until last August that their relationship became normal after she had things clear with Tomoya Aki. At the same time, after taking the initiative to look for Tomoya Aki at school when school started this year, Eriri felt that it didn't matter what others thought of her.

Michiru Hyodo had no idea how complicated the relationship between Eriri and Tomoya Aki was in the past, and she was more curious about Eriri.

"By the way, what's the relationship between that black girl with long straight hair and Alan?"

Until now, the gossip fire in Michiru Hyodo's heart has not subsided.

After learning about the relationship between Eriri and Tomoya Aki, Michiru Hyodo thought of Kasumigaoka Utaha that day again.

When Ying Lili heard this, there was some trouble in her eyes. This was not a topic that could be gossiped about.

Just when she was in trouble, the door opened and Akitomo walked out.

"Michiru, Eiriri?"

Aki Tomoya looked at the two people outside the door in surprise.

He knew that Michiru Hyodo was coming back today. Similarly, he was used to Eriri occasionally coming over on Sundays after the New Year.

However, it was surprising for Aki Tomoya that these two people got together at this time.

His two childhood sweethearts were together at once.

"You really came here, so those friends just ignored it?"

Aki Tomoya first said to Hyodo Michiru helplessly.

Today is the first time that Michiru Hyodo's band enters the recording studio, and this is thanks to the help of Iori Hasima.

Otherwise, Michiru Hyodo and the others won't be able to make extra money, let alone enter a recording studio, for now.

"Isn't it still early? Anyway, we won't be there until the afternoon. They all have things to do in the morning, so I have nothing to do so I can only come to your place."

Michiru Hyodo stuck out her tongue.

At the same time, she noticed that Aki Tomoya was dressed neatly with a backpack hanging on his shoulders.

"Ren is going out too?"

However, before Michiru Hyodo could ask the question, Eriri on the other side asked it first.

Judging from his attire, he was obviously planning to go out.

"As you said, I was originally planning to let this guy look after the house. Well, I told you before, Hyodo Michiru, my relative."

Akitomo knew in advance that Michiru Hyodo was coming, so he made preparations in advance and let her stay at home alone, so that he could go out without any worries.

"What do you mean by asking me to look after the house? You're just leaving me here alone!"

Michiru Hyodo complained at this time.

But she just realized that Aki Tomoya had gone out again, so she quickly asked, "Where are you going?"

"I've made an appointment with someone at the Metropolitan Library for a study session. Are you interested?"

Tomoya Aki turned and looked at Michiru Hyodo.

It's February already, and it's his last year. The formal exams will be next year, and his schedule has become increasingly tight.

Today is Sunday, and I have made an appointment with others to review together at the Metropolitan Library.

"We have to review even on Sunday? I guess I came at the wrong time!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Lili sighed, with amazement in her eyes.

It’s only been a month since the New Year, and the other party’s schedule is already like this. I guess he won’t have much free time afterwards.

"I can't help it. After all, the exam will be next year."

"Ah, in comparison, Kasumigaoka is so relaxed that it makes my teeth itch..."

Chapter 136 This is what I did two years ago (1/4)

He said he would take the entrance exam for Keio University and he did so. This kind of confidence is rare.

After hearing from Eriri that Kasumigaoka Utaha was going to take the entrance exam for the Keio Department of Literature, and after hearing that it was because of Akane Ayaka, Tomoya Aki expressed that he could empathize with her.

"To be honest, I wasn't surprised at all when I heard it was because of Akane Benizaka. But that senior is pretty amazing. She turned down a recommendation for university last year."

This kind of gossip is mostly heard from teachers.

When he told him about this, the other party reminded him indirectly not to do what Kasumigaoka Utaha did, but Aki Tomoya was not impressed.

Unless Dongda gives him a guaranteed admission spot...

But think about it, it's impossible!

"Someone like Ren Ye will be able to get a recommendation quota next year. The school still has a few recommendation quotas every year."

"If it's from Keio, I can accept it, but do you think it's possible?"

"So in the end, Keio is still the most promising one?"
