Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"It's not that I underestimated the money. This is your bonus."

"Bonus? When did I get a bonus?"

Oreki Gen looked at him strangely. Kiyono Yuri smiled and said, "Because you prevented the convenience store from losing money some time ago, and you also covered for others without missing a single shift, the bonus is reasonable, right? If you really feel bad about it, just think of it as your sister's support fee for you. After all, I am still interested in supporting a fine younger man like you."

Oreki Xian curled his lips and said, "That's too cheap. I can't be dismissed with just a few tens of thousands of dollars."

Kiyono Yuri rolled her eyes at Oreki Gen and said, "It's summer vacation now, and you're going back home, so this should be enough time, right?"

Oreki Gen said with a smile, "If it's not enough, can the manager give me some more?"

"That's a nice thought... Hey, where is Oreki-kun's hometown?" Kiyono Yuri suddenly asked.

Oreki Gen replied calmly: "What happened in Hakusha Township?"

Qingye Lily's eyes widened: "My hometown is also in Baishe Township!"

Really? It seems like I didn't know the information at first... But it seems normal. How many locals are there in this huge city? And this country is not very big, so it's normal for them to come from the same town...

"That's a coincidence...but doesn't the manager have to go back to his hometown?"

Hearing this, a barely perceptible sadness appeared on Qingye Yuri's face. She frowned slightly, and then quickly relaxed her brows indifferently.

"I haven't been back for a long time. After all, my career and work are all here. I just don't know that woman..."

"Huh? What?"

"Oh, nothing. Be careful on your way home. When you get back, tell me when you can resume work."

Kiyono Yuri shook her head.

"Ok."

"What a pity~ Oh, I originally wanted to take Oreki-kun to enjoy the nightlife in Sakura City during the summer vacation... It seems that there will be no such opportunity~~"

Kiyono Yuri shook her head and sighed as she walked out of the convenience store.

The boy holding the envelope looked at the banknotes in his hand.

If I heard correctly, she said that woman... is she related to Kiyono Yuri? Never mind, I'm not really interested.

Keep the last shift~ You are already a worker while you are still studying. The future is really bleak when you think about it...

　 "Don't look around, classmate. Didn't I hand you a test paper? Why do you have to look at others'?"

The quiet campus is not that there is no one, but that it is crowded. They are just keeping their heads down and doing their homework. The classroom is eerily quiet, as if there is a sleeping wild beast living there and we are afraid of waking it up.

The rustling sound of the pen tip touching the paper.

Occasionally, the invigilator's warning cough could be heard.

This is the final exam for Sakura Metropolitan High School.

It was pretty much the same as I imagined. The difficulty of the questions was not very high. It seems that the person who set the questions had some conscience. I hope everyone can have a good summer vacation.

However, the higher difficulty level has no effect on Oremu Xian's current level. With the blessing of intelligence, learning becomes a very easy and simple thing. Even the Sakura Language course can be learned in a simple and effective way.

The last question is an essay, the theme is: What do you think youth is like? Are you satisfied with your current youth?

Very broad topic.

It seemed like he could write anything. After all, he had been immersed in that kind of examination environment in his previous life, and had written countless long and short essays. It didn't seem to be difficult at all... But Oreki Gen was looking out the window.

The blue sky and bright sunshine.

All things are growing wildly, and the branches of the lush trees are swaying slightly in the wind.

Youth?

Oreki Gen wrote down his title decisively.

"Youth Where Only Sakura Dodo Are Not Beautiful"

In the first line, he wrote down the sentence that he subconsciously thought of in a very fluent and graceful handwriting.

[In my limited life, I don’t want to divide it into several stages. There is no childhood, no youth, no middle age, and no old age. My life should be a complete book. I will live as a beautiful man in Sakura City for the rest of my life. I am not in youth, I am on the ark of the long river of time, and every rising wave will be my medal. ]

...

Finished.

There are still thirty minutes until the end of the exam, and Oreki Gen doesn't plan to be like these people, checking over and over again or wasting time by sleeping.

He handed in the paper decisively and left the classroom with a relaxed pace.

He turned the corner and walked down the empty stairwell, leaving the teaching building. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and fell on the boy's clean and refreshed face.

People always feel the beauty of the current situation when they are about to leave.

I don't know how I will feel when I graduate and leave here. No matter what, I have to live until then.

Walked towards the club activity classroom.

"Bang--"

Oreki Gen pushed open the door.

What came into view was a familiar duo. Sayuri Yukino, who looked very leisurely, was sitting on the bed, making tea and browsing her phone. The first person she looked at was her.

“Wow… you took the test really fast, Oreki-kun. It’s just a pity that you’re a little slower than Ran-chan~”

Oreki Gen's gaze shifted to another location.

Morning mist dye.

In her hands she held a book called "Distant Journey".

Her eyes were focused on the book and she didn't seem to notice his arrival. Oreki Gen didn't care. He calmly closed the door and walked in easily, then sat down next to Asagiri Ran.

"It's okay. After all, I can't compare with the top student in our grade. I just handed in the paper after I finished writing it. There's nothing I can find even if I check it."

Then you asked me to check it carefully? Liar.

The girl turned a page of the book lightly, but wrinkled her nose, and her eyes fell on his palm on the table.

The white and clean back of the hand, the slender fingers... the sunlight falling on them could be considered a blasphemy. She shifted her gaze and refused to look at him.

Sayuri Yukino stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for Oreki Gen.

"It's the final exam in a blink of an eye... a semester has passed just like that."

Looking out the window that was not completely blocked by the light blue curtains, Sayuri Yukino seemed a little emotional.

Oreki Gen looked at the ripples in the teacup, leaning lazily on the chair, his arm touching Asagiri Ran beside him.

The girl frowned and subconsciously shrank her shoulders.

"Sister Yukino still feels sad about the passing of time?"

Sayuri Yukino sighed, "I can't help it. I'm already in my third year of high school. When you guys get promoted, I'll be leaving. Now that I think about it, it's too late for me to meet you two interesting companions~"

Oreki Gen said with a smile: "We are already an interesting group after just one team building, have you decided that we are a good match? We may have many arguments and disagreements in the future, even fights and hair pulling."

Sayuri Yukino couldn't help but laugh.

“Really? Could it be that Some-chan and I are jealous of each other over Oreki-kun and are pulling each other’s hair?”

He went straight to the reverse check, and Oreki Gen was speechless.

Asagiri Ran next to her couldn't help but look up.

"Nonsense... There is no such possibility."

Sayuri Yukino looked at Asagiri Ran with a look of pretended shock.

“Eh? Shouldn’t Ran-chan be cursing at Oreki-kun right now? Why are you acting so gentle? Surely something happened the last time Oreki-kun sent you home?!”

Asagiri's cheeks turned slightly red.

"There's something wrong. I feel uncomfortable if I don't curse at you, right?"

Oreki Gen looked at the other person with an innocent face.

"I didn't say anything."

"I get annoyed when you talk, shut up."

Asagiri Ran gave the boy a displeased look, but everyone could see that although the words seemed very similar, and very much like the attitude she had used to treat this boy in the past, the tone and the look that looked away in a flash seemed to have changed.

Just like a corner of a snowy mountain...gradually melting away.

The boy shrugged indifferently, as if he noticed nothing.

Sayuri Yukino narrowed her eyes and looked out the window with emotion: "It seems that our team really has a promising future~"

She moved her chair, stood up and picked up her bag.

"Okay, that's all for today. I wish you two a happy summer in advance."

Oreki Gen raised his head and found that the other party was about to leave just as he arrived.

"Are you ready to go back?"

Sayuri Yukino stretched lazily, revealing her beautiful figure.

The action of sticking out the chest and the upturned peaks reveals its full size, which is spectacular and should be comparable to Sakuraba Mizuki...

Especially the hem of the school uniform was lifted up due to the large movements.

Oreki Xian even saw the other person's snow-white belly, that tight waistline and cute belly button...

She smiled and said, "Of course, senior has her own life too. Oreki-kun, please don't become my stalker too soon. It will be a nuisance to others."

Oreki Gen said with a smile: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no possibility of such a thing."

"Goodbye~"

Sayuri Yukino disappeared outside the activity room, and now only Oreki Gen and the girl beside him were left.

But when Oreki Gen subconsciously turned his head, he saw Asagiri Ran's look of disdain.

"Obscene..."

Oreki Gen was stunned: "How am I obscene?"

Chao Wu Ran looked unnatural and focused her eyes on the book in her hand: "You stare at someone stretching. Isn't that obscene?"

It turns out that it was because I just focused on the beautiful eyes...

Oreki Gen laughed.

"It's human nature to be attracted by beauty... I'd like to see you stretch, but... it seems the conditions don't allow it."

Asagiri Ran turned her head and saw the boy's eyes.

She followed the other person's gaze...and lowered her head.

Then I could see my toes clearly.

The girl with a beautiful face but a slightly barren chest instantly had a flush of red rushing to her earlobes.

"Oreki Gen, go to hell!"

(Tomorrow daytime will see the situation and add more~~)

96: Goodbye... (Additional 10!)

If there really are such things as priceless paintings in the world.

Then one of them must be Asagiri Ran reading a book.

The girl sat on the bed, reading the book "Distant Journey" in her hand. The aftermath of the boy's ridicule seemed to have passed, and she returned to her usual cold and isolated state.

Oreki Gen, who was fiddling with his phone to reply to Sakuraba Mitsuki's message, would occasionally be attracted.

There is really nothing to be embarrassed about admitting. After all, it is a dream come true for many boys to get such an opportunity.

The afternoon sun that streamed through the window fell on her long black hair, which fell over her shoulders and hugged her slender frame.

She had no makeup on, and her unpowdered face was as cold as ice.

Occasionally, the pervasive golden light would shine through the gaps in her hair and through her straight eyelashes.
