The heroines want love

This was the equation written in his mind with blood.

"You do not understand."

"...I don't understand? Why don't I understand? In the final analysis, isn't it all about money?" Kawasaki Daishi stood up, looked around at his parents and sister, and said in a negotiating tone: "I can take care of Jinghua, and even the tutoring can be cancelled. If I can save some money, I can use it to let my sister go to college."

"Next year, when I get admitted to Sobu High School, I can also earn money part-time..."

"Dazhi." Mrs. Kawasaki scolded, "Sit down! There are guests here, how humiliating do you want to be?!"

Family disgrace should not be made public. Even if we are really short of money, how can we discuss such matters in front of our daughter's friends?

Kawasaki Daishi refused to give in and refused to sit down: "Using my sister's sacrifice to exchange for my future, I'd rather not have such a future!"

"Sit down, there are guests."

Kawasaki's father finally spoke.

Although his words were similar to those of Mrs. Kawasaki, Daishi Kawasaki sat down after a moment of hesitation.

"Shashi, tell dad, do you really want to go to college?"

Mrs. Kawasaki then advised: "Katsuji..."

Kawasaki's father interrupted, "Don't we have savings at home? If it really doesn't work, I will admit my mistake and ask my father to borrow money. I may not be capable, but I won't let my child go to school."

Mrs. Kawasaki put down her chopsticks and said nothing more after hearing this.

She couldn't contradict her husband on major decisions.

Saki Kawasaki glanced at the mastermind, Yu Asakura, who was eating at the moment, and replied to his father: "I do want to go to college, but I don't want you to worry about me."

Her parents' conflicted words made her feel guilty.

[Kawasaki Saki's favorability -3, points +1500]

Asakura Yuu glanced at her.

When the two adults were in a dilemma, he said:

"...Uncle and aunt, can I say something?"

"Asakura-kun, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. Let's end this topic here."

The smile on Mrs. Kawasaki's face began to fade.

My daughter's friend was embarrassed to encounter such a scandal when she came here for the first time.

"Auntie, I just want to give you some advice. Kawasaki has good grades, so this method should come in handy.

Our school offers scholarships, and the application process is not difficult.

However, there is a prerequisite, that is, the students’ qualities must be outstanding.

Of course, Shaki meets the criteria."

Asakura Yu continued:

"Over the course of a year, I can probably make several hundred thousand yen."

This is not a small amount of money, but Asakura Yu is slightly exaggerating. If he really wants to get that much, he should at least be in the top five in the grade.

After getting this news.

The tense expressions on the faces of the two parents of the Kawasaki family relaxed.

If there were scholarships, that would ease the situation a little.

-

After dinner.

Kawasaki Saki and Kawasaki Daishi sent Yu Asakura away from home.

Under the dim light of the old street lamp.

Kawasaki Daishi bowed slightly to Asakura Yu: "Thank you, brother."

If it weren't for Yu Asakura, he wouldn't know what to do.

"Need not."

Asakura Yu shook his head slightly, indicating that it had little to do with him.

He knew that he was a sinister villain who took advantage of parents' love for their children to threaten them, and he could not bear the gratitude.

This is a discussion, not a negotiation.

Parents and children are not two opposing parties in themselves, and there is no need for negotiation at all.

But Asakura Yu took advantage of Kawasaki Daishi to make his parents "surrender", so such behavior is not at all aboveboard.

"Asakura, we're going back first. Please be careful on your way."

Shaxi's expression was tangled for a moment, and then he whispered, "Thank you for today."

She felt that she had been too aggressive recently and there was no need to resist him so much.

After saying this, Saki Kawasaki quickly took her brother home.

[Kawasaki Saki's favorability +7, points +7000]

"Only 7000? Not only did I not get all the points back from the flag incident, but... with the points deducted from me before, Kawasaki-san didn't even have a good impression of me?"

He reviewed the development of events and quickly realized what he had done wrong - he took advantage of Saki Kawasaki's younger brother and parents.

Is there any better way to deal with this?

A way that would not make Saki Kawasaki feel guilty towards her parents, would allow her to go to college, and would not hurt her self-esteem.

"…I seem to have subconsciously treated this as a challenge and a game, and used it to satisfy myself."

Asakura Yu looked up at the sky.

He was silent for a long time.

The moon was high in the sky. The boy stretched out his hand, but found that he could not reach it no matter what.

Although he had just dealt with a problem that his peers absolutely could not solve on their own, he did not feel much sense of accomplishment, but rather a sense of loss.

Chapter 36 Sister and Sister

Exam week is over.

The activities of the Ministry are open as usual.

At the end of May, the temperature gradually rose and many students changed into cooler summer uniforms.

The girls were wearing white shirts, red bow ties, and Sobu High School's signature plaid skirts, but as for the boys... there was no need to talk.

Yuigahama Yui likes to wear a beige spring short-sleeved sweater over her summer school uniform, while Yukino is just like her name, without any extra decorations. She is still as clean as ever, and the absolute space between her black stockings and skirt is still great.

"Did you complete the commission for Kawasaki-san last week?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked as she watched Asakura Yu writing on the whiteboard with a fountain pen.

Her eyes followed the tip of the pen until he finished writing the words - [How to regain favor when being disliked by the opposite sex? ]

Is the Asakura member sick today? The topic he wrote is full of strange flavor.

"Finished? I guess so, but it's too bad it's not perfect." Asakura Yu put down the pen.

There were no unexpected gains except for a large number of points.

"Very difficult? I thought you would come to ask me for help." Yukinoshita Yukino rested her chin with her right hand and looked at him with a smile on her lips.

This woman is very charming, but sometimes she deserves a beating.

Asakura Yuu imitated her words in his heart - 'You are a poor person who can't solve the problem, why don't you come to me for help? '

Hey, maybe this woman hasn’t encountered any setbacks since she was isolated in elementary school, otherwise why would her personality be so bad?

"Want to hear the truth, or lies?"

"You can't lie to me, right? You only have one choice."

"No, except for telling the truth, I also have the right to keep my mouth shut." Asakura Yu retorted.

Then he brought up the whole incident involving Saki Kawasaki.

After listening to this, Yukinoshita Yukino rubbed her temples with her fingers and said helplessly:

"I really can't seem to help with this matter."

Since her last conversation with Yu Asakura in the mall, she has thought a lot, and the most important point is - don't express a firm opinion on something you don't understand.

Not to mention that there are a large number of people involved in the Saki Kawasaki incident, most of whom she doesn't know, and going there would only cause trouble for Asakura Yu.

"Although your actions were bad, they were the limit of what you could do. What's more, Saki Kawasaki has always been rejecting you. I don't think there is a better way for you to do it except to forcibly intervene through her brother." Yukinoshita Yukino summarized the incident.

Money shouldn't have anything to do with high school students. Yukino thought it was a miracle that he could do this.

As for the topic he gave today.

Yukino thinks so - "If you want to win back Saki Kawasaki's favor, then help her clean up the mess you made."

Although the method is not very upright, the original intention is not bad. If the remedial measures are reasonable afterwards, the girl's favorability towards her will even soar... who knows?

----

After leaving the Service Club, Asakura Yuu embarked on the journey to work part-time.

The wind by the river was as strong as ever, reminding him of the day when the Golden Week ended.

The sound of children playing, the sound of jumping into the river, and the alluring posture of the girl soaked to the skin...

"I always had a feeling that I would meet you today."

Hearing the voice, he looked in the direction of its source and saw the big sister with short hair sitting on the green grass, looking back and smiling at him.

At this moment, Yang No was holding a collection of short stories by Dazai Osamu. The reason why Asakura Yu knew this was because he had the same book on his bookshelf at home.

"Girls' sixth sense?"

"No, it was Feng who told me." Yang Nai finished speaking, showing him the book in her hand: "I tried to read the book the way you did last time, but I found it very difficult."

"After all, the wind is strong by the river." Asakura Yuu sat next to her: "Where did Yang No see?"

Sister Yang Nai, whose temperament is totally different from that of a literary girl, closed the book.

“I only read a dozen pages.”

"You must have read it a long time ago, right? Don't you feel bored?" Asakura Yu observed the marks on the book. This one was not new.

“Human memory is very short. We may forget things that happened a few months ago… no, even a few hours ago. So, we can get happiness from reading a book again after having read it.” She praised the book like a beautiful bookworm who loves books.

Bookworms can be beautiful or ugly.

The pretty one is called 'literary girl'.

Ugly people will naturally be evaluated as "nerd" or "country girl".

"It's a pity that I can't have such happiness."

"Why?" Yang Nai turned the book to the first page.

The first story in the collection - Run, Melos. A story to praise honesty.

The protagonist Meles failed to assassinate the tyrant and was about to be executed by the tyrant who did not believe in people's hearts. He made an excuse - 'I am going to attend my sister's wedding. Please forgive me for three days. In return, you can capture my best friend as a hostage. When I come back, I will die bravely!'

The king agreed, saying, 'If you do not return, your friend will be killed and you will be spared.'

At the end of the story, Meles overcame difficulties and returned to the execution ground to save his friend. The king was moved by the sincerity of the two and gave up executing them.

A great story, right?

"I have a very good memory."

"Melas' friend, what is the name of the blacksmith...?"

"Selinutius." Asakura Yu said this somewhat confusing answer without even thinking.

After he finished speaking, he continued, “The last time I read this was in elementary school.”
