Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

Combined with what Sawayama Haruno said to me before, it's work.

He should be typing on the computer.

“It’s really focused.”

Ayano Yui smiled and bit the Jiabeijia lollipop in her mouth into pieces.

The cola-flavored candy instantly fills the entire mouth with a fragrant and sweet aroma, making people feel happy and unable to help but want to do something.

In fact, Ayano Yui did plan to do something.

She heard the sound of the washing machine working in the bathroom.

After thinking for less than two seconds, she walked gently into the bathroom, closed and locked the door, first put down the toilet lid, and then stared at the two washing machines, one large and one small, next to her, as if thinking about something.

She reached out and stopped the smaller one.

The small washing machine continued to make two more noises, and then slowly stopped working.

Ayano Yui opened it expressionlessly, reached in, and when she found something soft, she slowly took it out.

——It’s a pink one.

"."

Ayano Yui's face darkened instantly, and she stuffed it back in a bad mood, saying angrily, "This damn thieving cat."

Nausea.

But why is it not included here, except for this one?

Could it be in the big washing machine down there?

Ayano Yui fell into deep thought, and her eyes accidentally caught sight of the basin of clothes on the shelf beside her.

She was stunned at first, then as if she realized something, she took down the basin of clothes.

Sure enough, there was a black piece of clothing lying inside, which was obviously only used by men.

"found it"

Ayano Yui only felt her heart beating faster and faster.

Even my mouth and tongue became dry for some reason.

Did I eat too much toast this morning, or put too much jam on it, so I feel thirsty now?

"It's still the original flavor. I'm so lucky." She muttered.

Then, a surprising move was made.

She slowly covered her face with the clothes and took a deep breath.

The girl's delicate facial features slowly emerged through her clothes, with the color of a certain part inexplicably deepened, making her look particularly charming.

Ayano Yui pressed it hard against her face, as if she wanted to suffocate herself.

The feeling of suffocation was like waves that kept hitting her body and mind, and the pervasive smell of Haruno made her tremble uncontrollably.

This is it.

This is why I came to Tokyo.

Because my brother hasn't been back to his hometown in Osaka for a long time, although he can enter and exit the other person's room freely, the clothes inside have long lost their original smell.

It's totally incomparable with the one now.

“Awesome.”

After satisfying herself a little, Ayano Wei took off her clothes. Her little face was a little red, making her look particularly charming.

But she wasn't quite done yet.

She folded the piece of clothing bit by bit, trying to turn it into a round cloth, and then without hesitation.

Place it in your mouth.

Chapter 122 Shiori's Secret Efforts

Tutoring time is painful for everyone.

It is painful for the students, and equally painful for the teacher.

After studying for a whole morning, seeing that Suguha Ezaki was still troubled by some simple math problems, Mine Shiori felt a little helpless but had to let her take a break.

It is not possible not to rest. Even if the other party does not understand after explaining it two or three times, I should take a rest myself even if the other party does not need to.

"Sorry, Master."

As if she had noticed Mine Shiori's troubles, there was always more guilt in Esaki Suguha's eyes when she looked at her.

But there was no way, she really couldn't learn it.

"It's okay. I'll tell you a few more times after we finish our meal and rest."

Mine Shiori smiled reluctantly, "Tell me more and you'll understand."

"Ah, ah"

Ezaki Suguha's face became more and more embarrassed.

This guy, who was always straightforward and courageous in swordsmanship and other matters, hesitated for a long time this time and whispered, "The meal cooked by the chef at home should be here soon."

The only way she could think of to change the subject without being awkward was to talk about lunch.

"This is the first time I've had lunch at Suguha's house." Mine Shiori quickly adjusted her mindset and smiled gently, "But Suguha treated us last night as well."

"No, my brother actually paid for it yesterday, so it doesn't matter."

Jiang Qizhiye pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Master, what major do you plan to choose in the future?"

"Hey, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"I'm just a little curious, because now I'm basically preparing for the future unified examinations and school examinations, but I don't have any practical understanding of what will happen afterwards, so I wanted to take this opportunity to ask." Ezaki Suguha explained.

"So this is ah."

Mine Shiori thought about it and felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with knowing about the professional choices in advance.

Although the University of Tokyo currently implements a general education system for the first and second years, some other schools allow students to choose their majors in the first year.

If you think about it carefully, it never hurts to learn about it in advance.

So Mine Shiori pondered for a while and decided to tell everyone about her future choices.

"Sure enough, I should still choose a major that focuses on literature, because I am very interested in this area."

"Literature?"

Jiang Qizhiye said with some envy: "That's great. Actually, I am also very interested in these things, but I can hardly learn them."

"If you're interested, just read some books or something," Mine Shiori explained with a wry smile. "You don't need to study it. This major is actually pretty useless, and there's a high chance you'll be unemployed right after graduation. Finding a suitable company before then will be very difficult."

She was telling the truth.

Companies in island countries generally implement a lifetime employment system, which means that the actual changes in their employees are not as great as those in companies in other countries, and the number of people recruited each year is not too large.

In addition, the island nation has been experiencing an economic downturn in recent years, and more and more local companies have gone bankrupt. For people with a literature major, even if they take further exams to obtain a civil service degree, future employment will be very difficult.

In a nutshell, without connections and relationships, your future is basically over.

However, Mine Shiori is not without her own advantages, that is her academic degree from the University of Tokyo.

With this "stepping stone", even if she cannot find a suitable job in the future, Mine Shiori can choose to continue to take postgraduate entrance exams or develop abroad.

Although she doesn't really want to develop in this direction.

Thinking of this, Mine Shiori's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

If possible, she actually wants to join the four major publishing groups, especially the Otowa Group.

The reason is very simple. The four major publishing groups have a very high status in the island country. Anyone who is engaged in literary and artistic work cannot have not heard of their names. The fields they are involved in are no longer limited to a certain literary type, they also dabble in other aspects.

Apart from this, Mine Shiori also has other reasons.

She has her own little thoughts.

That's about Sawayama Haruno.

The other party said that the book he was writing was expected to be submitted to Kodansha, which is the largest publishing company under the Otowa Group.

It would be great if I could work for Kodansha, as an editor or in some other position, as long as I could have some contact with Sawayama Haruno, it would be fine.

Mine Shiori wants to get closer to the other person in this way.

She is the kind of girl who lacks the courage to speak her mind.

But if one changes one's perspective, for example, if one sets the goal as "working hard together with Sawayama Haruno", Mine Shiori feels that she might be able to accumulate enough courage in the process.

"This is pretty obvious, right? It's work-related after all," she thought.

As long as it is work-related, there will be endless reasons to interact with others, and these are reasons that you "have to" do so in various senses.

She felt that if she continued to contact Sawayama Haruno with this reason, one day she would be able to express her feelings to him and finally be together with Sawayama Haruno.

For this reason, she can now put in more effort.

He worked harder and moved closer to where Sawayama Haruno was going. In the end, he would be able to express his feelings frankly at that place.

"master."

Sitting opposite, Ezaki Suguha seemed to notice something, frowned and asked, "Master, is there anything bothering you?"

“Oh, no.”

Mine Shiori suddenly came to her senses, waved her hands quickly, and smiled, "I just made this expression out of habit. I'm sorry, I don't have any objection to Suguha."

"I still know this. What I mean is that if there is anything I can help with, please just tell me."

Jiang Qizhiye looked at her deeply and said solemnly, "It's okay even if it's just to talk. Because we are not only the master and apprentice relationship in academics, but also friends in private."

"Suguha."

The more she said this, the more embarrassed Mine Shiori became.

After thinking about it, she felt that it didn't matter if some things were said out loud, so after hesitating for a moment, Mine Shiori told Ezaki Suguha some of her thoughts about the future.

What she didn't notice was that when she heard that Sawayama Haruno was writing a book and that they all wanted to work together in Kodansha, Ezaki Suguha had a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Kodansha, Otowa Group."

Chapter 123: Tolerance Edit

The message from the Kodansha editor came in the afternoon.

Sawayama Haruno had just finished the only important class of the day, and before he had time to change classrooms, he saw the text message from the editor.

The other party bluntly expressed his desire to have a detailed chat with "Teacher Dong Hai", and then very politely asked about the time and place that the two could arrange nearby.

Being able to get the results so quickly really cheered up Sawayama Haruno, and the fatigue he had felt after class was instantly swept away.

He quickly agreed on a specific meeting time with the other party. This kind of thing should be done sooner rather than later, so he would skip the next class and go directly to Bunkyo District to talk to the other party.

As the most important company under the Otowa Group, the headquarters of Kodansha is actually located in Otowa-cho, Bunkyo-ku. If Sawayama Haruno rushes there from Meguro-ku, it will actually take quite a while, after all, the distance between the two districts is quite far.

Fortunately, there is still plenty of time in the afternoon. The two agreed to meet at four o'clock in the afternoon, so if they set out now, they will be able to make it.

After packing his things, Sawayama Haruno quickly took the train to the vicinity of Otowa Town.

After walking out of the station, the surroundings have gradually changed from high-rise buildings to relatively flat white buildings. These are basically the iconic architectural style of the Otowa Group. After entering from the main gate of the town area, there will be many posters of Otowa's hot-selling products on both sides of the street.

Perhaps the most eye-catching and dazzling of these are the various anime and comics produced by Kodansha, especially Chiikawa’s posters and standees, and even peripheral products, which are almost everywhere.

"If Maki sees this, her eyes will probably light up, and she will want to buy all the dolls and cards here, right?" Sawayama Haruno thought.

I have to say that Chiikawa is indeed one of the most popular product series nowadays. No wonder the society promotes it so vigorously. This street is also filled with a large number of Chiikawa elements, which can almost be said to be a paradise for girls.

However, the purpose of this trip is not just to visit, more importantly, to negotiate publishing cooperation matters.

Sawayama Haruno soon arrived at the place agreed upon by the editor, which was a cafe located in Otowa-cho, not far from the Kodansha headquarters.
