I live my life in Tokyo

"What have Asakura-san and Higuchi-san been thinking these days? Have you finally decided whether to study literature or science?"

"Eh...it's still science after all." Asakura Toru pondered for a while and then answered.

The boy gave her a thumbs up and said, "Great."

Higuchi Madoka watched silently as the two of them talked and got along very well.

Toru had already started running.

Where is the little bird?

"Which department is the easiest to find a job in?"

When the boy heard Higuchi Madoka's answer, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. This reason seemed to be exactly the same as the reason why he chose the Department of Economics.

"Department of Economics."

“Then study economics.”

In just a few words, Higuchi Enka had determined the future path.

"Then from now on Toru and Madoka will be Sakakibara-kun's real junior schoolmates." Mrs. Higuchi looked very happy and smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

"Mom..." Faced with her mother's high spirits, Higuchi Madoka was speechless.

The boy coughed a few times and said, "Since you have decided to study science in the future, Higuchi-san's study plan should be adjusted from now on."

"I will give you the textbooks and exercise books I used at the time, so that you can get started faster. These things can be solved within a week. Now you should take a look at the University of Tokyo."

If all goes well, this will be where I will study and live for the next four years.

The boy recalled what Koichiro Yuki said when he was given a tour last year, and the places they stopped at, and imitated him to introduce the uses of the teaching building and the knowledge points needed by the Department of Economics.

Higuchi Madoka looked at the boy in a way she had never seen him before.

He is lazy and idle in the office, serious and dedicated on the set, and talks nonsense during breaks.

In college, he was mature and steady, like an older brother.

"Have both Asakura-san and Higuchi-san listed the University of Tokyo as their target?"

Asakura Toru sighed for a moment, "Studying...is not good."

"Let's have tutoring in the evening."

Higuchi Enka frowned, "Sakakibara-san, as a busy person, do you really have time in the evening?"

She pulled on Asakura Toru's arm, and the latter smiled at the boy.

The boy coughed and took out his phone to check his schedule. "It's okay, I'm quite free at night now. If you want, I can give you and Asakura-san extra lessons."

Mrs. Higuchi had been listening to their conversation from behind, sometimes smiling, sometimes sighing helplessly. When she heard the boy's words, she smiled and joined the conversation, "Sakakibara-kun, you can also come to our house for dinner tonight. It would be nice to take extra classes after dinner."

"I'm so sorry. I'm causing too much trouble to my aunt."

The boy declined, saying that he usually had a buffet at the office in the evening, and sometimes had a Crystal Clash, Dispute Front or Lieyu Fight with housewives in the supermarket. In any case, going to a colleague's house for dinner required a close relationship.

He felt that Higuchi Madoka only had the concepts of childhood sweetheart and colleague in her eyes and had no idea of ​​friends at all, so how could he possibly bother someone's mother?

Mrs. Higuchi did not insist upon seeing this.

The free lunch coupons in the hands of several people are just as the name suggests, they can have lunch for free in the cafeteria of the University of Tokyo.

"I didn't bring my wallet." Asakura Toru exclaimed.

"No, no, no, this is a free lunch ticket, you don't need a wallet to buy anything." The boy complained.

Today is an open day, so the cafeteria is crowded with people.

"I recommend you try Akamon Ramen." The boy adjusted his non-existent glasses. "Akamon Ramen is a classic of the Tokyo University cafeteria. It combines the advantages of all the other foods and is very good."

"Mr. Sakakibara is suitable for shooting food commercials." Higuchi Madoka commented lightly.

The boy agreed. "I think so too. Unfortunately, my agent has never arranged any food auditions for me. If I eat and brag in front of the camera, wouldn't that make me look great on camera?"

There was boasting here, and Mrs. Higuchi also laughed.

The boy coughed a little awkwardly, but did not forget to buy a bottle of yogurt, which had become his post-war habit.

He found a lonely figure in a corner of the cafeteria. No one within miles dared to sit down around him, and no one dared to challenge his authority.

"Where do you sit?"

With the food tray already in his hand, the boy nodded to signal everyone to follow his steps, and then walked towards the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

At the outskirts, they were questioned by the guards. Several seniors from the Department of Economics recognized that the leader was the now popular Tiger Guard Captain Atom Ryu Sakaki, and they nodded in confirmation and made way for him.

"Your Majesty, Zilong has a favor to ask."

The boy placed the plate next to the old man, stepped back, clasped his fists and said.

Ichiro Kimura saw that there was a bowl of red Akamon ramen on the boy's plate. When he glanced at the bottle of yogurt, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Okay, okay, Zilong, you are well prepared!"

He naturally noticed Asakura Toru and the Higuchi mother and daughter standing nearby, and said in a friendly voice, "Is he Sakakibara's friend?"

The old man stretched out his long, withered fingers and said, "It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Please take a seat."

Chapter 30: Fighting Chimen Again

Higuchi Yuanxiang had a good first impression of the old man. He looked kind and wise, and most importantly, he could make the young man bow and salute.

After the boy and the old man chatted for a few words, Higuchi Yuanxiang realized that the person sitting here was the dean of the Faculty of Economics.

Judging from the mature, humorous and intimate tone of their conversation, it was obvious that the boy was the dean's favorite student.

Mrs. Higuchi took a back seat, giving space to her daughter, her childhood sweetheart and her friends.

"Dean Kimura, this is my colleague, Asakura Toru-san, Higuchi Enka-san. They are currently in their third year of high school and are very interested in the Department of Economics."

As the senior who led the way, the boy naturally took charge of the introduction. He looked at the two people wearing the same school uniform, extended his hand and said, "Asakura-san, Higuchi-san, this is the dean of the Department of Economics, Professor Kimura."

"Haha, young blood again? That's great."

Ichiro Kimura stroked his beard with a kind look and sighed a few times. He was very pleased with the polite greetings from the two beautiful girls.

As an old man, that's just the vanity.

"Since he is your direct descendant, Sakakibara-kun, it shouldn't be difficult for him to be admitted to the University of Tokyo."

In response to Higuchi Madoka's question, Kimura Ichiro gave a few targeted answers. In addition to the exam scope, Kimura Ichiro also recommended several books used for teaching in the freshman year, saying that if you are interested, you can learn about them in advance.

This is beneficial information for any student.

"How interesting..." Asakura Toru became interested in the old man's words without knowing when, and a chic smile appeared on his face.

"Hahahaha, if Asakura-kun and Higuchi-kun are interested in the Department of Economics, why not come and attend my open class this afternoon."

Kimura Ichiro chuckled, "I will introduce economics to the students who are interested this afternoon and help them solve their doubts—"

"Dean Kimura, we will come to the class."

Kimura Ichiro was quite satisfied with the bland answer. He looked at Atom Ryu Sakakibara who was watching Akamon Ramen and swallowing his saliva, and said, "Sakakibara boy, you will be responsible for controlling the presentation while I teach this afternoon."

"Yes." The boy pursed his lips. If Yuki Koichiro was here, maybe it would be him, Yuki Nakayasu, who would be working this afternoon.

But, nowadays, Senior Yuki is staying at his internship company every day, and we can’t even see him often!

The small talk is over, here we are at Hulao Pass!

"Haha, see the expression on your face, you walked towards me, but instead of running away you came closer to me, are you challenging me?"

Ichiro Kimura put away his kind smile, raised the corners of his mouth coldly, and took out a red sauce bottle from his pocket.

Before opening the bottle, Asakura Toru, Higuchi Madoka and Mrs. Higuchi could smell the pungent spicy aroma. At that time, the three of them had no idea what level of master battle was happening before them.

"How can I defeat you if I don't get closer to you?"

"Then let's get closer..." Kimura Ichiro grinned.

There was no need to say anything more at this time. The two of them looked indifferent, and Ichiro Kimura poured the crimson sauce into the ramen and began to stir it.

The boy took the Death Chili Sauce calmly and snorted contemptuously. Now that he has the blessing of yogurt, he will not lose today.

When the already bright red Akamon Ramen became even more colorful, Higuchi Madoka couldn't help but sneeze into her handkerchief.

This sneeze was the starting signal.

Holding all kinds of life in his mouth, the boy showed a hint of excitement, his sea-blue eyes lit up, and he stuffed the fiery thing into his mouth.

The face of the veteran Ichiro Kimura at the side was already red, but it was too wishful thinking to ask the veteran to give up. He opened the yogurt bottle, licked the milk cap first, and then took a sip from the bottle mouth.

The two men have the same armaments, weapons and supplies, so what they are competing for now is the endurance between the veteran and the brave general.

The boy had a cold smile on his face, a side of him that Higuchi Madoka had never seen before.

"Asakura-san, Higuchi-san, on the battlefield of science, there is only smoke and blood." The boy waved his hand and said lightly, his face slightly red, but with a calm and heroic spirit of a man commanding thousands of troops.

When the civil and military officers in the court saw the blood on the two men's faces, they immediately stood up and clenched their weapons.

"Don't panic!"

Ichiro Kimura shouted hoarsely, shocking away the ministers who were anxious to protect their master. There were bloodshot in his eyes and sweat was pouring down, but he felt extremely refreshed.

"This is just a competition, there will be no loss of life, why don't you retreat now!"

A loud shout drove away the originally frightened ministers, and they looked at Sakaki Atom Ryu with envy and admiration in their eyes.

How lucky I am to be able to learn from His Majesty!

The guards beside him considerately brought two bowls of tofu soup. The boy did not take advantage of it. Instead, he waited for the emperor to stop drinking, then stretched out his hand and said calmly, "Your Majesty, please."

"Zilong, please."

One stepped back and the other bowed, then they both held up the warm plain tofu soup.

Under Higuchi Yuanxiang's surprised gaze, the two put down their wine cups at the same time. Kimura Ichiro's face was gloomy and he sighed: "——This is the Yangtze River where the waves behind push the waves in front. The younger generation is really formidable!"

Before he finished speaking, he stood up and strode away from the table under the escort of the guards.

The boy laughed heartily in the admiring eyes of the ministers, his brows full of heroic spirit.

The emperor and Zilong tested swords, and Zilong won. The emperor sighed and said, "The young people are to be feared. They will definitely help Khan." The secretary at the side immediately wrote this down in the Records of the Grand Historian.

"I won by chance. Your Majesty saw that I was young and energetic, so he encouraged me."

The boy bowed and said a few humble words, neither arrogant in victory nor discouraged in defeat. "This is a training for young people. I hope that you seniors can get your own training as soon as possible."

"you are welcome."

All the ministers clasped their fists in return.

"Excuse me, I still have a lot to learn from Your Majesty regarding the battlefield in the open class this afternoon." The boy jumped on his horse, swung his Longdan silver spear, and galloped towards the direction the old man left.

Asakura Toru couldn't help laughing, and Mrs. Higuchi also said with a smile, "What lovely and respectable professors and students."

This word of praise attracted all the civil and military officials around. They nodded with smiles on their faces, and implicitly regarded Mrs. Higuchi and the other two as their own people.

"These are Zilong's family members. It is natural to show them respect." A civil servant said softly.

Family, do you understand?

Only those who knew Higuchi Madoka well could see the surprise on her face. Her purple eyes followed the boy's back until he turned the corner and entered the bathroom.

Sakakibara-san... is he such a person?

Is this his true self? Why, when observing him, can I feel that he is playing this role sincerely?

Seeing her daughter in a daze, Mrs. Higuchi ruffled her short hair, then withdrew her hand at Higuchi Madoka's slightly dissatisfied look.

"It's great to see a side of Sakakibara-kun that no one knows about."

"It is none of my business."

Higuchi Enka answered gloomily while picking at the crimson Akamon ramen.

"That's great."

Higuchi Enka knew that Asakura Toru was somewhat envious of the questions and answers of the famous scholars in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, so she looked at her coldly, trying to stop her seemingly stupid thoughts.

When the three of them had almost finished their noodles, the boy and the Emperor of Han returned hand in hand.

Ichiro Kimura's legs were trembling a little. He nodded politely when passing by Zilong's family, and left quickly surrounded by his ministers.

The boy's originally fair face now looked a little pale.
