Tokyo Sound

"?"

Why did the borrower run away like a creditor? Yin Ze was a little confused and scratched his head.

Seven or eight seconds later.

Sakura Ayane came out again, and her hair was not as simple as before with bangs stickers, but was quickly fixed and tied into a short ponytail. She looked much neater and more energetic. Although the remedial measures were limited, she had to do it subconsciously.

"...Why is he the tutor?" The girl took a few steps closer to her mother and asked in a low voice.

"Is this strange?" Sakura Edamori said naturally, "With his academic ability, it's normal for him to work as a tutor part-time."

"…I mean, why did you hire this tutor?"

"The reason is simple. You two are good friends and colleagues in the office. There is no barrier in communication. It would be good for him to tutor you. Besides, isn't Tokyo University your goal? Having an active Tokyo University student would also be helpful."

"Then you should have told me in advance." Sakura Ayane whispered, entwining her fingers, "I'm totally unprepared. I didn't even wash my hair today. How rude."

"It's my fault. Didn't I say at lunch that the tutor would be here in the afternoon?" Sakura Edamori laughed. "Besides, there's something wrong with what you said. Can I understand that if it's someone else I don't know, it doesn't matter?"

"Of course, people who don't know each other won't have any conflicts in the future, but acquaintances will meet each other every now and then..." Sakura Ayane defended herself.

"Okay, don't delay. The teacher is just standing here waiting for you. For someone with his qualifications, the hourly wage would not be cheap if he really became a tutor." Sakura Edamori urged.

"Ok."

For some reason, Sakura Ayane looked a little hesitant, and finally she mustered up the courage to go downstairs.

"Wait a minute." Sakura Edamori reminded helplessly, "Where are your textbooks and writing tools? Are you going to have a study session with nothing?"

"Oh oh."

The girl hurried back to her bedroom, carrying her teaching materials and tutorial books, and stumbled downstairs. However, the closer she got to her tutor, the slower her pace became.

Why is he so reluctant to pay back the money? Yin Ze wondered.

"Long time no see." Sakura Ayane spoke first, but after a long pause, her momentum weakened, and she paused for a long time before saying, "...Senior."

Master Yin seemed to be impacted by an invisible energy and leaned back slightly, with confusion and vigilance flashing in his eyes.

senior?

The man frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

This is probably the first time I've heard her call him that. Although there is no problem in terms of age and school age, strictly speaking, the two of them are in the same industry. In addition, they are the first generation of golden partners in the Battle Night Arcade. They play video games, visit exhibitions, eat ramen, and drink Coke together. It can be said that they are good friends in every sense.

Imagine if your college roommate suddenly starts to address you in a reserved manner as "classmate", "teacher", or "comrade", does this mean that you have unintentionally done something damaging to the friendship, causing others to be so disgusted and cold that they are ready to draw a line in the sand?

My thoughts are turning in an instant.

"We haven't seen each other much since we watched the fireworks together last time. Strangely enough, we don't even run into each other on the set." The man said kindly, "I haven't seen you for a while. You've become more mature and more beautiful now."

"Oh..." The girl hugged a pile of books in front of her chest and turned her head away.

Is this over?

Even when the evaluation of being mature and steady, which she had always dreamed of, was used on him, he was actually indifferent, with his eyes wandering and his mind absent-minded.

Could it be.

Is it...

"Don't you want to study? Or do you hate being forced to study?"

"what?"

Master Yin was silent for a moment, then he suddenly understood everything and smiled slightly.

"If that's the case, don't worry. Before coming here, I knew that I was not good enough in this area, so I made a special phone call to a principal and a director who had many students all over the world, and even communicated with the leader of my college. They were experienced and showed their prowess, and brought me more than ten sets of study plans, lesson plans, and materials for the exam. I also asked seniors who were also doing teaching support work in the school to help, and they were all dry goods that had been proven by years of practice. Don't be scared by these more than ten pounds of materials. With someone like me who has been there, you can do targeted practice questions, and every time you practice, it will not be in vain. So don't think that I am just attending the meeting alone, but I have a whole high-quality team behind me. Taking the exam is a major event in life, which is related to the rest of your life. I will never make you wrong. Relax, I am never vague about major things!"

These words are full of emotion, and the punctuation marks are overflowing with confidence and motivation. It's just short of chopping off a chicken's head and burning yellow paper to make a vow of eternal love.

It is indeed true.

After receiving a call from Aunt Edamori, he, who was usually decisive and idle, thought for a long time, which was unusual for him, and finally decided to help.

Once I nodded, I couldn't just do it halfheartedly. So I sought help from many sources, spent every day in the library flipping through test papers, and talked to powerful people inside and outside the school. My Life Corridor remained at around 230% for several days. With a photographic memory and active thinking, my efficiency was extremely high. Compared to the year when I took the exam, the question types I could store in my mind had more than doubled.

At present, I am quite good at helping students analyze the unified examinations. Even if I apply for a famous private school, I am fully qualified in terms of ability.

As for the major prestigious universities that have unique exams...even the leaders in the education industry cannot guarantee that every student they teach will pass. It still depends on the students themselves.

In short, since it is related to such an important event as the college entrance examination, since you have agreed to it, you must take it seriously.

"Do you believe me?" Yin Ze asked deeply.

"I believe it." Sakura Ayane nodded of course.

"Look at me." Yin Ze said again.

"what?"

"look at me."

Driven by this toughness, the girl looked up at the person in front of her.

——It was the same as the fireworks display that night, nothing had changed. They were familiar faces, they had sat so close together chatting and eating, they had pushed and shoved and played like elementary school students.

But when my eyes met his, I subconsciously wanted to look away.

My heart is racing.

The ears and cheeks felt slightly hot.

Love affair...what kind of disease is this? My mood and state are no longer under my control.

The two people maintained this quiet gaze.

"Have you seen the strength and ambition in my eyes?" Yin Ze said in a deep voice, "You should also be more motivated."

I see it. I see it.

The girl muttered to herself.

It's so close, of course you can see everything clearly.

Of course, I have long known about this person's excellence, his handsomeness and his touching side.

"I've auditioned for 'Hyouka' before, but failed." Sakura Ayane finally couldn't help but turned her head away and softly talked about another topic.

"Is that true?" Yin Ze was stunned for a moment, then comforted her, "...When looking for a job, victory and defeat are common in the military, so don't worry too much about it."

"It's okay. I understand. I just mentioned it. After all, I want to..." The girl's voice became even lower. "I want you to know that I am still trying. Even though I didn't succeed, it's not like I didn't do anything."

"I see." The boy nodded.

After hearing the news that day and watching the last episode, Sakura Ayane felt a huge sense of disappointment.

It's not anything else.

As someone who had a rough understanding of painting, but was afraid and gave up on this path due to lack of talent, she knew what kind of realm and strength that was. Even though she knew that he had extraordinary skills, she was far from mentally prepared to face this fact.

How far ahead of me is this person?

The girl hugged her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and thought silently.

How far is the place where he is from my world? Compared with his, my life is really too delicate and dull.

Just like the fireworks and stars that night. Gorgeous and brilliant, but you can't touch them at all. You can see the starlight because the stars themselves are dazzling. But maybe one day, the stars will get tired and disappear behind the night. And you who still stay on the earth will no longer be able to see the starlight.

It’s really, really sad that the person you like is too powerful.

The brighter you are, the longer your shadow will be.

You always achieve results that exceed many people's expectations, leaving no room for others to catch up.

but.

Someday.

I will come to you.

Those words at the riverside fireworks display were definitely not spoken spontaneously.

"Get to work, governess."

Sakura Ayane had a slightly red face. She grabbed the boy and sat him on the table, spreading out various exercise books and materials.

Sakura Edamori watched the two of them get together and start a discussion. She couldn't help but smile, and then planned to prepare some snacks and drinks.

Chapter 65: The Wind of Battle Continues

Sakura Eiji turned the key and opened the door of his house.

The warm air in the house wafted in the air, mixed with the aroma of delicious sweets. If I guessed correctly, it was the Nagasaki honey cake from the century-old Fukusaya store. My wife and daughter often eat it, and also use it to entertain guests.

With hawk-like eyes, he scanned the entrance and found a pair of unknown brand shoes that were worn out by many battles. The shoelaces were neatly tucked inside and placed in a corner. From the details, one can roughly tell what kind of person this person is.

Sure enough, a cautious young man who planned before taking action rashly entered my territory.

The middle-aged man straightened his suit and walked into the house, trying to find his slippers, but found that they were missing. Thinking that they were taken away by someone else, he thought about it and took out a pair of new slippers, walking like a lion.

The sound of the door has attracted the attention of the family.

"Why are you back? Aren't you going to work?" Sakura Edamori, who was cutting apples in the kitchen, came out and asked curiously.

"Take a day off and come back to deal with things." Sakura Eiji said seriously.

"I've only heard that you have to go to the company to do things. What can you do only at home?" Sakura Edamori was puzzled.

"Humph."

The middle-aged man's gaze crossed the space and instantly locked onto the handsome young man sitting at the table in the distance.

Discover the target.

"Is this the tutor we hired with such a high salary?" Sakura Eiji stood with his hands behind his back, looking intimidating and angry, with the demeanor of a master. He said calmly, "Haha, can a voice actor do his homework? You are really old and confused. Send a salesperson to tutor you."

"Who are you calling old?" Sakura Edamori approached with a smile and stretched out her hand to pinch the soft flesh on her husband's waist. As a descendant of the Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master, the strength of her finger that picks up pork belly, also known as the Flower Picking Finger, is just right.

Sakura Eiji spoke out of turn, but he covered his waist to prevent his arrogance from leaking out. He maintained the composure of a pillar of the family, and under the strange gaze of his beloved wife, he walked towards the harmonious teacher and student pair who were concentrating on doing the test and supervising.

"Dad, you're back so soon?" Sakura Ayane, who was writing formulas with her head down, looked up in confusion.

"Hello, uncle." Yin Ze stood up and greeted him very politely, leaving no room for error.

"Uncle?" Sakura Eiji frowned slightly, and was about to make a brutal invasion and take the lead, and said, "You are now a tutor..."

"Yes, hello, boss." Yin Ze was like the emperor who guessed riddles. After hearing the first half of the sentence, he automatically knew the second half and instantly changed his words to give the answer.

The middle-aged man, who had been judged, was silent for a few seconds.

"…Forget it, what were you doing just now?" Sakura Eiji's chain was interrupted, and he had to move on to the next stage and asked.

"Although I knew something about Sakura's grades before, I still didn't know enough, so I planned to let her take a few national exams first to get a more detailed understanding of her current scores so that I can adjust her study plan." Yin Ze explained.

"Is that so? In that case, while Ayane is concentrating on doing the questions, let's go to the side and talk. Even though we are so familiar with each other, we still have to go through the interview process, as a sense of ritual." Sakura Eiji pointed to the sofa, gave a warm smile, and motioned for him to follow.

The two alumni slowly sat down on the sofa near the yard.

An invisible momentum began to rise.

Mr. Bank Card could no longer suppress his desire to fight, and a shadow of Feng Conglong seemed to appear behind him.

"My little brother has been in the spotlight recently. You're even on the hot search trend on Twitter." Sakura Eiji said with a kind look in his face, his tone very gentle, and he seemed to be doting on him as if he was about to take out New Year's money the next second.

"I have only made some small achievements, and I am grateful for your support." Yin Ze said very modestly.

The middle-aged man looked on silently.

Neither arrogant when winning nor impatient when losing, calm and courteous. Really...really too cautious. If I hadn't seen this person use beauty as a sword, start role-playing mode, harvest users' money, and promote coffee, I would have believed it.

"We are in a senior-junior relationship, and we are both liberal arts students. We are both taken care of by Mr. Onishi. You and Ayane are good friends and colleagues. No matter what, you should visit each other more often. As your uncle, I'm really happy that you can come today." Sakura Eiji said in a mellow voice.

"Then I will definitely come to visit you often in the future." Yin Ze nodded.

"Of course. By the way, today is your first day at work. Are you coming here empty-handed?" Sakura Eiji suddenly asked.

"No, I brought a gift. I specially picked out a tie made by Nishijin for the boss, hoping that he would like it." Yin Ze said.

That’s right, of course I won’t make such a small mistake.

"You have achieved success in your career and studies, and you have also won the title of the most beautiful face. You are really outstanding. But then again, the education industry has high requirements for skills. You are still young and you are not even a student yet. I am a little worried about whether you can be a good teacher to others."

In just a few words, Sakura Eiji smoothly transformed from a benevolent elder to a stressful president, frowning slightly and saying, "He questioned skillfully."

"From your resume, apart from tutoring the female neighbor upstairs, you don't have any relevant formal work experience. Your internship was limited to volunteering to tell the story of Momotaro to kindergarten children. You previously worked in the art and cultural and creative industries. When you push your account and interact with your fans, the ratio of discussing photos to discussing topics is 7:3. So I doubt whether you have the ability and mentality to be a tutor."
