The heroines want love

There are many people who go to work after graduating from high school. After all, students who graduate from high school are already adults. Giving up on taking the college entrance examination does not mean giving up on life. This is the correctness of adults.

Kawasaki Saki observed his expression and found that he was actually thinking about how to help her. Her tone softened: "It's okay to guess. You should know how exaggerated the difference in tuition between high school and college is. It's impossible for us to afford that much money."

In the island country, high school is compulsory education and has a lot of subsidies, so the annual tuition for public high schools is not high.

But it’s not necessarily the case for university, which costs nearly a million yen a year.

An average family may be able to afford to support one child, but the difficult part is that the Kawasaki family has three children, one of whom is a boy who is just in the third year of junior high school and needs money at a time when money is scarce.

"It turns out to be university tuition..."

Faced with such a problem, Yumiko Miura also couldn't come up with a solution.

Even though she had just asked with all her heart, 'You didn't say it, how do you know we can't solve it? ', at this moment, she found that she was really powerless.

She also has an older sister and an older brother, but she knows that everyone's family situation is different, and the problems that their family can solve do not mean that the Kawasaki family can also solve them.

A penny can make a hero fall, this must be what it means, right?

"I didn't go to school the past two days because I was not feeling well. After talking to my parents last night, I skipped classes today because I needed to think about my future. I have thought it through now. If it really doesn't work out, I will go to work after I graduate from high school. Otherwise, when my younger brother goes to high school, he will have to face the same problems as me, and I don't want that."

Kawasaki Saki showed her attitude and said, "Thank you for coming to help me find a solution, but that's enough. We are just ordinary classmates. There is no need to worry about my affairs."

Asakura Yu found that she seemed unwilling to give in.

However, due to the current situation, we cannot get the desired results.

"Kawasaki, have you ever considered working part-time? Within the limited working hours given in high school, you can earn about 10 yen a month." Asakura Yu gave a feasible method.

There are regulations in place regarding the part-time work hours that high school students cannot work for more than a certain period of time each month.

"I have to take care of my younger brother and sister every day. What's more, I work part-time on weekends to earn tuition fees..."

Of course, Saki Kawasaki knew that there was a way to work part-time.

But because her parents had to work until late every day, she couldn't just leave her younger brother and sister at home. Under such circumstances, she couldn't do ordinary work at all.

"This is indeed a difficult matter to handle."

Asakura Yuu said to himself.

Shizuka Hiratsuka might have guessed something.

But even though she was Saki Kawasaki's homeroom teacher, she could not interfere in her student's family affairs.

Chapter 30 It's not over yet

When we left Kawasaki's house, it had already gotten darker.

Yu Asakura and Yumiko Miura were riding along the river bank, with the breeze blowing. However, the two youthful people were hit hard by the heavy reality and their expressions looked a little depressed.

"Kawasaki-san didn't explain things clearly. She must be hiding something from us." Yumiko put her arms around Asakura Yu's waist and said this in a confident tone.

Kawasaki Saki's words just now gave Yumiko this feeling -

Saki Kawasaki should be thinking of a way, a way that is not suitable for a high school student. If she violates school rules and does something bad, she will be finished if she is reported.

"What else could she be hiding from us? She said it herself. She's already talked to her parents about it."

"Yu-kun, don't you want to help her? Kawasaki clearly wants to go to college, but she can't because her family is financially difficult..." Miura Yumiko felt that based on Yu Asakura's personality, he would not give up when seeing this situation.

"The tuition fee is one million yen a year, Yumiko. Do you think I can afford it? Moreover, even if I have the money, do you think I would spend it on a classmate I am not even close to?"

"Yes! If it were Yu-kun, he would!"

Yumiko's affirmation made Asakura Yu laugh.

The other party's trust in him is too exaggerated. I think he can do such a thing.

"Hahaha~"

The boy's hearty laughter drifted along the river bank with the wind.

Under the setting sun, behind a moving bicycle, a girl with slightly fluttering golden curly hair patted the back of the boy's head and said shyly:

"W-What are you laughing at? I thought you could do it! Idiot, show me some spirit at this moment!"

"I'm sorry, but it's hard for us to intervene in this matter. She just said something very harsh, calling our relationship an "ordinary classmate relationship."

"But……"

Yumiko knew that it was not nice to stick to him like this, but the kindness hidden in her heart would not allow such a thing to happen in front of her.

"If it's Ye Shan or you who are in trouble, I will definitely help you unconditionally, because I regard you as my friends and you also regard me as your friend. I can give up some mature ideas and do things with the passion that a high school student should have, without caring about the consequences."

But now, having lost his position as class monitor who delivered handouts, Asakura Yu once again had no reason to intervene in the incident.

Saki Kawasaki's clear attitude also told him - don't meddle in other people's business.

There are such people in the world. They don't consider the help of others. They think they can live beautifully and wonderfully alone, but they cannot fly high enough, and the results are mostly not very good - you can't ensure that you will not need help from others at any time. It is easier to get things done with more friends. Interpersonal communication is inevitable. Burning the past and putting on a mask is what adults do.

But as a high school student, Saki Kawasaki has not yet understood this truth.

"You are right, Yu-kun. But we can try to be friends with Kawasaki-san, so that you have a reason to help, right?"

Asakura Yu nodded and said, "That's right, let's try to get along well with her next."

A sentence he had seen somewhere flashed through his mind:

When we were young, we were very open about our likes and dislikes. This was especially true for people we disliked. When we disliked someone, we couldn't help but resist his or her every word and action from the bottom of our hearts, couldn't help but respond to him or her with cold words, and even would do whatever it took to break up with him or her.

The more things I've experienced and the more people I've seen, the more I understand: if you hate someone, there's really no need to turn against them. 】

This may be what is called "growth" and "maturity".

Gradually, I became a boring, rule-abiding person.

But I'm sorry, I'm still young and I still have the courage to challenge the [right].

Saturday.

Asakura Yu went to Hikigaya Hachiman's house.

The two made an appointment to play games together.

"...That's about it. In the end, they just sent me a handout, and the problem itself was not addressed at all."

After listening to Asakura Yu's report on Kawasaki Saki's incident, Hikigaya Hachiman said in a calm tone: "Aren't you too tired to live like this? Not all things can be solved by hard work. You don't have to do it to this extent."

Is this the so-called responsibility of a leading man? But what can you get in return for doing this? The favor of that Kawasaki?

What can good feelings do? Exchange for money? Wake up, the male protagonist does not have to sacrifice himself, this is no longer the era when passionate young men are popular!

“I actually want to give up…”

"Don't lie to yourself, it's meaningless. In the three years that I've known you, you've been helping others like a fool since junior high school. At first I thought you were just setting up a persona, but later I found out that you were just stupid." Hikigaya Hachiman said with a sigh.

If I wasn't stupid, I wouldn't be close to myself as a marginalized person in the class.

I told you to keep doing stupid things, and now you've hit the iron wall called "money".

A high school student solves a million yen money problem? It's difficult.

"Asakura, do you know alchemy?" Hachiman couldn't let his friend fall into distress.

"Hmm? The one of equal exchange?"

"No, um... it seems about the same." Hikigaya Hachiman put down the controller and said thoughtfully: "I have been saving a lot of money to buy my favorite books and games. Do you know where these came from?"

"Ah~ Brother is going to start teaching that weird way of making money again." A lively and cute voice came from the entrance next to the living room.

A girl who looked completely different from Hikigaya Hachiman, making people wonder if she was Hachiman's biological daughter, came in after changing her shoes.

Hikigaya Komachi greeted the two people in the living room with great energy: "Hello~ You-nii!"

Asakura Yuu smiled back: "Hello~"

Hachiman continued to talk about his alchemy: "What can I do? After all, I am the lowest caste in this family. Even the cat Makakula is higher than me..."

He muttered:

"My lunch money is only half of Komachi's, there's no birthday cake, only 10,000 yen, and I've never received a gift from Santa Claus since I was a child. Although I don't believe in Santa Claus, it's strange for parents to not want to pretend to be Santa Claus..."

His speech speed became faster and faster, and his volume became smaller and smaller, like a drowning person who is about to drown.

Asakura Yu hurriedly shook his shoulders to try to save him: "Hachiman! Wake up! Don't drown in the memories of the past!"

"!!"

Hikigaya Hachiman came back to his senses, "Sorry, where was I just now?"

"Speaking of which, you are the lowest caste in the family, more pitiful than a cat."

"Well, so I figured out a way to earn some pocket money for myself." Hikigaya Hachiman smiled sinisterly, "Use the scholarship to offset the tuition, and then take the difference from the tuition given by my parents to expand my piggy bank."

"I almost forgot. In your last comprehensive academic test, Hachiman, you were among the top three in the liberal arts department..."

He has always been talented in this unconventional way.

But, scholarship alchemy, it seems like this thing has great potential for making money.

If everything goes well, you can earn at least hundreds of thousands of yen in one semester, or even more.

----

Although not many people are watching, I will still offer a reward.

100 monthly tickets plus one update.

600 recommendation votes plus one more update.

10000 rewards will add one more chapter.

20 more gold treasure chests.

100 blades plus one more.

ps1: I have paid off all the bounties for my first two books, so don't worry about running away. I seem to have owed 16 chapters for the last book? I paid it off in half a month. The data this time is not as good as the last time. I have a lot of manuscripts in reserve, so overall it is not very difficult to top it.

ps2: One update counts as 2000 words, and two updates are guaranteed after the book is put on the shelves. Any more will be extra updates.

ps3: There is no upper limit.

Chapter 31 The mastermind is taking action

"The above is my report on this commission."

Inside the office on Monday.

Asakura Yu told Hiratsuka Shizuka in front of him the entire incident without any reservation.

"I asked you to deliver the handouts, but you took the opportunity to pick up a girl you were close to? And even let her sit on the back of your bike?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka said, and as a teacher, she gave a symbolic reprimand: "You little brat, don't take people with you on your bicycle casually. What if the police call you off? Don't forget, you are still wearing our school uniform!"

"Got it. Next time, take off your uniform before riding."

"Tsk, stop talking nonsense to me. I can't argue with you." Hiratsuka Shizuka lit a cigarette: "Let's continue with the topic just now - what do you think about this matter?"

As a teacher, she has encountered similar things over the years, but her position as a teacher prevents her from intervening.

Every family has its own problems. It would be impossible for her, an outsider, to help.

Asakura Yuu put his right index finger on his temple and said thoughtfully: "...Soubu High School is a high school for college entrance examinations, and the goal of its graduates is basically to enter university to continue their studies.

But under this premise, every year there will still be a small number of students who choose to go directly to work after graduation.

Why is this?

As far as I know, the diploma from Sobu High School is even more useful locally than that from some unknown universities in other places.

For these students, a high school diploma is enough if they want to develop locally.”

As a key city school, almost every family will consider whether to send their children to Sobu High School for junior high school, so its popularity naturally increases.

Correspondingly, as a well-known public school, it is not easy to study there.

"So, you think the commission can end here?"

From Hiratsuka Shizuka's point of view, this is fine -

The student talked with his parents and decided to give up on going to college. Instead, he chose to graduate from high school and go to work. This was the result of discussions between the two parties.

What's more, it is not uncommon for high school graduates to work while still in high school.
