The melodious piano music in the radio station gradually stopped, and was replaced by a sad and moving melody played by the cello.
In the rain, the Maybach gradually slowed down and stopped steadily in front of the intersection.
The red and green indicator light that was close at hand shone red through the rain.
"Master Watanabe."
Suddenly, the old butler called out "Watanabe Yu".
"Ok?"
"The young lady has had a hard time these years. You are the only person she has trusted in recent years. Please treat her well. Please."
His voice was sincere, even pleading.
"…Has the internal strife in the Amemiya family become so serious?"
Watanabe Yu was silent for a moment, then asked.
This was the only possibility he could think of that could have made the old butler say such a thing.
"...Master Watanabe, it's raining heavily."
There was a hint of helplessness in the old butler's voice.
In fact, at this point, he has already overstepped his authority.
But he desperately wanted to leave a way out for the young lady.
It would be best if she wins the fight, but if she loses, the lady will have a decent way out, at least she can be happy.
"..."
The sound of falling rain and the sound of cello mixed together, and the atmosphere in the car was inexplicably heavy.
The thirty-second traffic light seemed to be slowed down at this moment, extending for a long time.
[If that day really comes, will you be her backer? ]
For no reason, this cold question seemed to ring in Watanabe Yu's ears again.
He turned his head and looked out the car window.
The raindrops wet the car window glass, leaving water marks on it, blurring the view outward. The lights in the distance now looked like a blooming dandelion.
Ah.
Unconsciously, Watanabe Yu chuckled.
The answer to the question already exists, doesn't it?
In other words, his answer has not changed.
"The eaves of the new house are wide enough, aren't they?"
Isn't it just to shelter from the wind and rain?
How could an old Chinese time traveler be afraid of this?
"...Thank you, Master Watanabe."
The old butler breathed a sigh of relief.
Ding, ding, ding.
The red light at the intersection turned green.
The old butler stepped on the accelerator, and the black Maybach started. The remaining raindrops on the wheel hub slid quietly under the action of gravity.
The black Maybach once again drove through the rain.
2/2, today I am 300 words away from 6K, which should not be short!

Chapter 96 Can I go with you?
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the heavy rain gradually subsided and the dark sky became a little brighter, but the cold wind mixed with the cold rain was still bitingly chilly.
In the corridor on the second floor of Yaleju, Hamabe Ryoko shook off her umbrella which was still a little wet.
After shaking off the remaining water droplets on the umbrella, she took out the key to Watanabe's house from the pocket of her skirt, inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the door of Watanabe's house.
Click.
With the sound of the door lock unlocking, she gently pushed open the door of Watanabe's house and walked into the entrance.
"I……"
Hamabe Ryoko opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say the four words "I'm back".
Yes, she really wanted to say this, but things between her and him had not yet reached that point.
So, we have to keep working hard!
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind rushed into the room, and the chilly wind instantly pulled her thoughts back to reality.
She rubbed her cold hands, placed the umbrella against the wall so it wouldn't get wet, then put on her slippers and walked into the house.
Compared to usual, she deliberately made her footsteps louder today.
It was also a way of telling him, "I'm back."
"Welcome back. Did you get caught in the rain?"
Sitting on a futon and working, Watanabe Yu raised his head and looked at Hamabe Ryoko who was wearing the uniform of Jonan Private High School.
It seemed to be due to the cold wind, her fair and innocent face was inevitably covered with some raindrops, which made her look even more pitiful.
"No."
Hamabe Ryoko shook her head and sat on the futon.
"Because of the rain, the convenience store is not very busy today, so the manager let me go home early."
She explained quietly.
"Well, take it and wipe it."
Watanabe You responded, took out a piece of toilet paper and handed it to her, then poured a cup of hot tea and gently pushed it in front of her.
"Thank you."
Ryoko Hamabe took the toilet paper and wiped her face, then picked up the cup of hot tea in front of her.
She blew it carefully first, then like a cat, cautiously extended her pink tongue and licked it lightly. After confirming that the temperature was just right and not hot at all, she took a small sip.
"The results of the last monthly exam have been announced."
The warm tea drove away the chill, and she squinted her eyes comfortably like a cat in front of a fireplace.
"How did it go this time?"
Watanabe Yu thought about it and decided to save the document and return to the desktop.
Of course, as usual, he copied a backup of the document using a USB drive.
“It’s not much different from what I expected, but the second place is a little closer to me this time.”
Ryoko Hamabe held the teacup, and the calm surface of the cup was reflected in her bright eyes.
"Because the second place player performed well?"
Watanabe Yu naturally took up the conversation.
"No, I just didn't play well. My absence last month still affected my condition."
Hamabe Ryoko shook her head.
She was not satisfied with her performance this time.
Although the teachers didn't say anything, she instinctively felt that this was not okay.
"...Now I can probably understand how the second place feels."
Yu Watanabe made a little joke.
If you think about it carefully, it's really despairing.
When the second-ranked student tried hard to move forward, he found that he had finally made a little progress and was finally able to catch up with the first-ranked student. However, when he took the next exam, he suddenly found that the gap in scores that seemed like an insurmountable chasm had returned.
This feeling of frustration, not because you have become stronger, but because the other party made a mistake last time, is quite strong.
"what?"
Hamabe Ryoko tilted her head, not understanding what Watanabe Yu meant.
"It's nothing. Since you've secured first place in the grade, that proves that you did well in the exam! There's no need to be so sad. Next time, just perform at your normal level."
Watanabe Yu changed the subject and encouraged the girl.
However, he always felt that his mood was inevitably complicated.
The time traveler who didn't even make it into the top ten patted the top student in the grade on the shoulder and told him that it was okay and that he would do better next time.
What a battle between the Son of the Plane and the Time Traveler!
"OK!"
Hearing this, Hamabe Ryoko's long eyelashes trembled and the expression on her face became more vivid.
"You've made great progress this time!"
She changed the subject and said that she looked at his results first and then her own.
"Also, when I was looking at the results, I saw Hayakawa and the others."
After all, Yuki Hayakawa's golden hair was too conspicuous in the crowd.
"Have you greeted them?"
This is what Yu Watanabe cares more about.
"I've said hello."
Hamabe Ryoko nodded.
"That's good."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're treating me like a child!"
Hamabe Ryoko pursed her lips and muttered in a rather childish manner.
"No."
Watanabe Yu's answer was as decisive and resolute as he could be.
"……Fine."
After staring at him for three full seconds, Hamabe Ryoko looked away and chose to surrender, "Don't you care about your own results?"
Her voice was soft.
"Anyway, it should be stronger than last time."
Watanabe Yu gave a frank answer.
When he asked for leave, although Sister Risa didn't say it explicitly, according to her, he should be able to make it into the top 50 this time.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have applied for the scholarship for herself.
Sister Risa's personality has always been one of being very clear about things.
"Well, guess?"
Hamabe Ryoko tilted her head.
"…There must be one in the top fifty, right?"
