The heroines want love

Even if you study for four more years in college, it is impossible to climb to a high position all at once when you go out to work. In the island country, in addition to ability, there is another thing that needs to be considered for promotion, and that is qualifications.

Yes, that’s right! It’s seniority! Although it may sound a bit cruel, seniority is important in the workplace!

As a high school student, as long as you have enough experience, you can even surpass graduate students!

The reason why those bosses who slack off and delegate the work at hand to newcomers can exploit the newcomers with a clear conscience is because they also suffered such workplace bullying in the past.

Now that they have finally made it through, they must continue the "tradition" they endured.

When newcomers gain experience and climb to high positions, most of them are in the same situation.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation beats the old.

To sum up, it is a good choice to adapt to society and accumulate experience as early as possible after graduating from high school and getting beaten up at work!

After all, the sooner you get beaten, the sooner you can enjoy it.

"What else? Mr. Hiratsuka, what do you think I will do?" Asakura Yu showed a curious look.

Shizuka Hiratsuka held a cigarette in her mouth, crossed her legs, and described the scene she longed to see with a comfortable expression:

"Wait at Kawasaki's house until Saki Kawasaki's parents come back, then point your finger at their noses and scold them for not understanding their child's thoughts, and then have a debate about dreams?"

This kind of thing is more in line with what young people do, isn't it?

"Teacher, you know this too, right? If I say something like that, I will definitely be beaten by Kawasaki's parents with their righteous arguments until I have no chance to fight back, and then I will run away in disgrace."

What is [correct theory]?

That is: correct and reasonable speech.

What should I do with my dreams? I’m very sorry, but there are no dreams in the adult world. Dreams can neither be eaten nor exchanged for money. This is the reality.

"Oh, mature high school students are so difficult to deal with."

Although Hiratsuka Shizuka said this, she agreed with his opinion.

However, she also expected Asakura Yu to come up with a better solution that could balance dreams and reality.

"That's it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Asakura Yu said as he stood up.

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."

That's all.

What follows next is a scene where the hero chooses to sacrifice himself and perishes together with the adults who have no dreams. That is very boring.

Club activities were cancelled during the exam week, so Asakura Yuu naturally wouldn't go to the Service Club, and he didn't have the key.

Someone asked him to meet at the cafe in front of the station today, and the "something" that Asakura Yu mentioned was referring to this matter.

Who invited them? Surprisingly, it was Hikigaya Komachi, Hachiman's cute and sensible sister.

Enter the cafe.

"Brother You!! Here here!"

Hikigaya Komachi waved at him and asked him to come over and sit down.

Asakura Yu discovered that there was a boy of the same age as Komachi sitting next to her. He had a childish face and must be a classmate.

And this face... is somewhat familiar.

"Hello, brother Asakura. I'm Daishi Kawasaki! I'm Saki Kawasaki's younger brother!" the boy introduced himself.

His answer confirmed Asakura Yu's thoughts.

"Hello, I'm Asakura Yuu, your sister's friend." Asakura said, and joked to Komachi: "Why did Komachi suddenly call me out? ... Is this your secret boyfriend?"

Hikigaya Komachi rolled her eyes at him and said, "No way! What you just said was terrible. It must have a very low score in Komachi's heart."

"Brother You, didn't you talk to my brother about the Kawasaki family last time? So..."

Kawasaki Daishi also explained at this time: "...I asked Hikigaya-san to do this.

If Jinghua hadn't told me secretly yesterday, I would never have known that my sister would give up her studies so easily.

If possible, I hope you, Brother Asakura, can help persuade my sister. You have a good relationship with her, right? "

Not bad? Well, if I only said ten sentences in the first month of school, it's really not bad.

Under the two people's continuous barrage of questions, Asakura Yu did not answer immediately, but called the waiter and ordered a cup of coffee.

He originally had the idea of ​​contacting Saki Kawasaki's younger brother.

If we think about the source of this problem, we will soon find that the reason why Kawasaki Saki gave up the idea of ​​entering university is because her younger brother is about to enter high school. This matter itself is simple, but at this stage of junior high school, if you want to get into a good school, tutoring is essential.

The problem suddenly returns to something as troublesome as [money], which is a headache.

"Kawasaki-kun, do you think I can persuade him?"

"I……"

"You know very well that this is a decision made by your sister and parents, and it cannot be easily changed, right?"

Young people should obey the decisions of the elders. This is the so-called "order of seniority". In this island country deeply influenced by Confucian culture, this idea is deeply rooted.

Daishi Kawasaki certainly knows.

Therefore, he did not get excited and argue with his parents and sister, because these two were higher than him in "status", and even if he expressed his own ideas, they would not be taken seriously.

So, Kawasaki Daishi tried to find external force, one who was at least at the same level as his sister.

Through Hikigaya Komachi's channel, he found Asakura Yuu, who was the class monitor of his sister.

"I... know this is difficult." Kawasaki Daishi certainly understood.

But he had no other choice.

"Don't worry, I didn't say no."

Asakura Yuu looked into his eyes and continued, "However, although I will help you, the core of this matter is not me, but you."

"I?"

Asakura Yuu smiled like the mastermind and nodded.

"Yes."

Chapter 32 How to break the situation

"What do you think is the best solution to this problem?"

"Brother Asakura, what you're asking is how to make enough money in the shortest possible time?"

"Well...you're not wrong to say that."

Asakura Yu felt that Kawasaki's younger brother was quite capable and had grasped the core of the problem at once.

The core issue is not the opinions of his sister and parents, but money.

If the parents' salary is enough to cover the family expenses, mortgage, car loan, and children's tutoring fees, would they let Saki Kawasaki go out to work early? It's impossible to think about it. As a parent, how can you let your child give up his dream? Not to mention that this dream is just to go to college. This is [correct]. Even as an adult, I can't deny that as a high school student, working hard to get into college is the right thing to do.

This is one of the keys to breaking the deadlock.

Asakura Yu felt that the scholarship alchemy proposed by Hachiman last time was very valuable, but relying solely on the scholarship was still a bit of a stretch. If possible, finding a part-time job would be a good choice, and he could earn 10 yuan a month.

The average monthly income of a person in the island country is 27 yen. But similarly, an average family of two spends about the same amount per month.

As a family of five, if the Kawasaki family wants to live a better life in daily life, they have to save money in many areas.

"But junior high school students can't do part-time jobs..."

"You can still do odd jobs like delivering newspapers in the morning, but the income is not high." Asakura Yu provided another piece of information: "The reason why your sister doesn't work part-time is because she is afraid that no one will take care of her younger siblings at home. If you can take care of yourself and your younger sister, she should be able to go out and work part-time without worry, right?"

"But I'm already in the third year of junior high school this year." Kawasaki Daishi said in a low voice with a complaining tone.

Hikigaya Komachi interjected: "Brothers and sisters are like this. They will always treat their younger siblings as children. My brother is the same. Every time I go out, he asks me where I'm going. It's super annoying. I start to wonder if he has a sister complex."

No, you guessed it right, Hachiman is really a sister-con, 100% pure.

He had said before that if there was no one to marry in the future, he would marry his sister... Would Komachi reject this request? No, it would definitely be rejected!

Poor Hachiman, I am the only one who will not despise you as your friend and trust you... Hmm? Why do I feel weird?

"If it's just taking care of my family, I can definitely do it!"

"Daishi-kun, are you confident in taking care of your family? Like cooking and stuff?"

"Not really... I only learned that in home economics class. My sister usually cooks. Since our parents come home very late and go to work very early, my sister is responsible for many chores at home. My parents don't pay much attention to us children." After saying this, Kawasaki Daishi suddenly became unsure about what he had just said.

As a junior high school student, if you really want him to take care of others, it is indeed beyond his ability.

When he gets home every day, apart from doing his homework, he spends most of his free time on games and other entertainment. He seems to go with the flow and has no skill in taking care of children at all.

However, this is also the current situation of many junior high school students - they accept what their parents arrange and have no subjective ideas of their own.

Not to mention junior high school students, even many high school and college students do not have clear plans for the future.

"Your parents definitely care about you. For example, they may have already raised money for your summer tutoring."

"...They think I am more important than my sister? If the cost of my cram school affects my sister's future, then I might as well not go!" Kawasaki Daishi was a little agitated and felt unhappy about his parents' decision to abandon his sister and choose him.

This is normal. It is unacceptable for a junior high school student to sacrifice others to fulfill his own wishes, but when he enters the workplace...

No, this situation is very common in colleges, like the losers who apply for poverty student subsidies to eat and drink lavishly even though their families are not poor, and the 'student union leaders' who have no ability but force themselves to occupy important positions and then delegate tasks to students, and who can't stand their hard-working roommates and join forces with other slackers to ostracize their garbage roommates.

It's everywhere, and I'm not kidding!

What’s even more infuriating is that you can’t do anything about them.

"Do you think it's your parents' fault? No, this is your sister's self-sacrifice for you. She must have taken into account the difficulties at home and gave up further studies after considering many factors."

Saki Kawasaki's family is not well off, so giving up is the right choice.

Although she knew she had done nothing wrong, she still felt unwilling to accept it.

This is the collision between the dreams of young people and the correctness of adults. When Saki Kawasaki learns to accept reality, she will probably become a boring and law-abiding adult, right?

"I want to make things clear with my sister! Why should she make decisions for me?!" Kawasaki Daishi said as he prepared to stand up.

Hikigaya Komachi hurriedly advised: "Kawasaki-san, calm down!"

Kawasaki Daishi stood for several seconds, thought, then slowly sat down, picked up the latte and took a sip, using the bitterness to ease the excitement just now.

He couldn't do anything if he went back now, and his sister wouldn't listen to him because he was just a child in her eyes.

"Don't be so anxious, let's think about how to make money first." What Asakura Yu said to the two junior high school students had nothing to do with dreams, but was very realistic and full of the smell of money.

Make money!

In this world, money is omnipotent.

What? You say it can't buy love?

Haha, there are many couples who divorce because of money.

Even though money can’t buy love, it can certainly be its destroyer, there’s no way to refute that, right?

"Make...make money." Hikigaya Komachi looked at him as if she was meeting Asakura Yu for the first time.

After all these long contacts, this was the first time she heard such a realistic topic being discussed by someone close to her.

"How do we make money?" Kawasaki Daishi asked seriously.

"study well."

"?" Hikigaya Komachi had a question mark on her face, and her cute face was full of 'Huh? What are you talking about, brother Yu?'

When can I earn money while studying?

"Brother, what does this mean?"

Kawasaki Daishi changed his name on his own initiative.

"Private school tuition is not lower than university. As Saki's younger brother, if you want to help her reduce the burden, you should work hard to get into a public school like Sobu High School." Asakura Yu said, and reminded: "However, forget about the nearby public Fenggu High School. Most of the students there are bad, the learning atmosphere is very poor, and the deviation value is so low that anyone can get in. You'd better not consider it."

Hikigaya Komachi finally understood what he said.

This is not about making money, but about saving money. If Kawasaki saves money, his sister will have more room.

This is something that is well within the capabilities of a middle school student, isn't it?
