Tokyo Soft Rice King

Hei Yuming couldn't help laughing out loud, and Anri Hitomi also covered her mouth and laughed.

This father and daughter are really interesting.

When I heard Tomita Haruka say that her father didn't allow her to go to a coeducational school, I thought he would be a very serious person, but I didn't expect him to be just a funny uncle.

"Haruka, I remember before you started high school, you kept clamoring to go to a coeducational school. Now I've come to your senses, so I support you transferring schools, okay? How about transferring to the school where Hitomi and Kuroba are? If you have friends to look after you, I'll feel more at ease..."

"That's none of your business! I think Lily White Academy is pretty good too! Everyone in the swimming club is great too!"

Before going to high school, Haruka Tomita really wanted to go to the high school where Hitomi Asato was attending, but now most of her first year of high school has passed and her interpersonal relationships in school have been established, so it would be a bit difficult for her to transfer schools at this time.

Haruka Tomita is not a very sociable person, and she still cherishes her current friends at school.

"Really? Then you should think about it again. Anyway, if you want to transfer schools, Dad can help you transfer at any time."

He didn't want to force his daughter, since Tomita Haruka was already friends with Asato Hitomi and Kuroba Akira.

There is no need to interfere, just let them develop naturally.

After getting up from the ground, Futian Houquan brushed off the dust on his knees, then patted Hei Yuming on the shoulder and said.

"Then I'll leave my Haruka in your care."

"No problem, Mr. Tomita."

"You don't have to be so polite, Hei Yu boy, you can just call me Uncle Fa Quan like Xiao Tong."

"Okay, Uncle Faquan."

"Well……!"

Tomita Haruka was choked up. She and Kuroba Akira only called each other by their last names, so why did you, Dad, let him call her by her first name first?

Tomita Hokken completely ignored his daughter's resentful expression and continued to ask for help from the two promising young people.

"I hope you can get along well with Haruka in the future, and ideally, become lifelong friends. You see, Xiaotong's father and I grew up together, and we're as close as brothers until now..."

"Oh! That's enough! Dad, go back! You have nothing to do here!"

Haruka Tomita couldn't stand her father's antics, so she pushed him on the back and drove him away from the scene.

After being pushed back to the back of the shrine by his daughter, Tomita Hokkon bypassed the worship hall and walked into the newly built main hall alone, then closed the door.

He took off his glasses and looked at the 'Divine Body' placed in the main hall with a fanatical gaze like a fanatic, muttering to himself.

"As you expected... after you, a new 'traveler' has crossed Yomi Hirasaka and entered this world..."

No one in the temple responded to his words.

There is only a heartbeat-like echo that ordinary people cannot hear...

In nurturing new life.

Chapter 204: The Decisive Difference Between Friends and Lovers

While Tomita Haruka was away, Kuroba Akira handed the cat strips in his hand to the squad leader who wanted to try feeding the cat.

While feeding the cat and waiting for Tomita Haruka to come back, the two continued chatting about the previous topic.

"So, you and Tomita-san are also childhood friends, class representative."

"Well, my family has only come to this shrine for New Year's worship since a long time ago. Uncle Faquan just mentioned that he and my father are good friends, as close as brothers. We even had a promise to be married when we were born, but because Xiaoxia and I are both girls, the promise was cancelled."

They even made an agreement to arrange marriage for each other, so the relationship between the two families must be very deep.

But the class monitor has so many childhood sweethearts...

I've been a live-action character since I was a child.

If the class monitor is a boy, there is Takanashi Mirai in school, Saionji Machiko outside school, and then there is Tomita Haruka who is betrothed to her since childhood. Moreover, all three of them are childhood sweethearts, so there are three different routes to conquer the class.

If this were placed in any other novel, this would definitely be the template for the protagonist!

"I see... By the way, Uncle Faquan said that he and your father grew up together, and they were raised by my landlady. Does that mean your family also lived nearby?"

Anri Hitomi said without changing her expression.

"Before my father got married, he did live with you, Mingjun."

This statement is very ambiguous. "You guys" can be understood as living nearby, or it can be understood as living in Kobayashi's house, and Kuroba Ming subconsciously understood it as the former.

The main reason is that before Mr. Kobayashi passed away, it had always been Granny Kobayashi and Mr. Kobayashi who were the two elderly people living together. And before the time travelers including Hei Yuming moved in, there had been no other residents in the Kobayashi family for a long time, which was also confirmed by Granny Kobayashi.

But Kuroba Ming forgot that Asato Hitomi's father got married more than fifteen years ago. After all, the class monitor was the same age as him.

So Kuroba Akira tried to recall, but there seemed to be no one with the surname Anri among the neighbors nearby.

Maybe they moved away later?

"It was also because my father moved away after getting married that Xiao Xia and I, even though we knew each other at a young age, rarely met. We just kept in touch through our phones."

"Oh, no wonder Tomita-san didn't join your childhood playmate group, class monitor."

Moreover, her mother did not order the class monitor to stay away from the Tomita family, which shows that the Tomita family is truly "one of our own" and is on the side of the Asato family.

"Originally, we agreed to go to the same high school together, but as I just said, Uncle Faquan disagrees."

"But he suddenly agreed just now...why?"

"Yeah, why?"

Asato Hitomi also expressed her surprise, but she actually knew the reason why Tomita Houken suddenly changed his mind.

However, she didn't want to say it, nor did she want to tell Hei Yuming.

Because the reason is you, wise ruler...

That actually implied the meaning of "fawning", but it was subtle, so neither Kuroba Akira nor Tomita Haruka noticed it.

In fact, Tomita Hokum's core demand has not changed. He still doesn't want his daughter to lose her virginity before marriage, but if the object is not a wild boy who came out of nowhere, but someone he recognizes, then there is no problem.

If Hitomi Asato was a boy, Tomita Hokken would definitely agree to let his daughter go to the same school as Hitomi Asato, because Hitomi Asato was the one he identified with.

The same logic applies now, because Kuroba Akira is in this high school, and Tomita Ho-ken can tell at a glance that his daughter has a good impression of Kuroba Akira, so he asked her if she wanted to transfer.

If Asato Hitomi hadn't been there, Tomita Hokken would have probably already grabbed Kuroba Akira's hand and asked, "Will you marry my daughter?"

But Anri Hitomi is the daughter of a good brother after all, so he cannot "snatch her openly".

And he probably just said it casually, not to the extent that he was absolutely necessary.

The reason for asking about the age and gender of other residents is the same as asking "Do you have any unmarried sisters?"

If a tenant happens to be the same age as my daughter, I must try to get him. It would be best if it works out, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't. It would be nice to be able to make friends with him.

Hei Yuming had no idea that he had become a favorite in the eyes of adults.

In fact, this is also the reason why Asato Hitomi does not want to tell Kuroba Akira about the hidden things.

She didn't want Hei Yuming to think that she approached him with an obvious purpose from the beginning. Although she also contacted Hei Yuming in the name of saving the Literature and Art Club, that was at least her own business.

She doesn't want adults to interfere with her friendships anymore.

Because even Tomita's legal rights are like this, if my mother knew...

Although I have to tell Hei Yuming sooner or later, it’s not now.

After Anri Hitomi fed the cat all the cat food in her hand, Kuroo did not continue to ask for food, but started licking his fur.

She stood up and invited Hei Yuming again.

"By the way, Mingjun, I remember that next year's Spring Festival should be at the end of January. Would you like to come and pay your respects together then?"

"Wait a minute, Spring Festival? Visiting a shrine? Isn't it New Year's Day?"

"Although some people visit on New Year's Day, it's usually during the Spring Festival. Isn't that the whole point of spring break?"

"..."

No, wait!

Isn't spring break supposed to mean 'spring break'? It's become 'Spring Festival break'!

This is cultural influence...

It is true that other countries’ National Day holidays have nothing to do with Japan, but the Spring Festival, a festival in the Han cultural circle,

It should be said that in the original world, neon is the weird one. It is in Asia but was forcibly westernized and turned into rice...

"How about it, Mingjun? I'll bring some New Year's dishes and buckwheat noodles that I made for you to eat with me."

When he heard that there was something delicious to eat, Hei Yuming nodded and agreed without thinking.

"Okay, let's come and worship together then."

Kuroba Akira has not yet obtained the one-day usage rights that they had bet on, but Asato Hitomi has already started booking various plans for Kuroba Akira's future trips.

At this time, after pushing her father to the back of the temple and complaining to him, Tomita Haruka also came back. As soon as she came back, she lowered her head and said to the two of them with a red face.

"Ha... I'm sorry for making you laugh..."

"Haha, I think Uncle Faquan is a very interesting person."

Tomita Haruka raised her head, her face still red, and suggested to Kuroba Akira somewhat embarrassedly.

"Hey, Kuroba-san, you're already calling my dad by his first name...why not call me by my first name too?"

Tomita Haruka wanted to take this opportunity to take her nickname a step further.

As mentioned before, this is no big deal for Hei Yuming, as he prefers to call people by their first names.

"Sure, then I'll call you Haruka from now on, how about that?"

"Hmm! Then, I can also call you...AKI..."

Before Ming could even pronounce the word "明", Tomita Haruka felt an invisible pressure coming from Asato Hitomi's smile.

Today's best friend... always feels a little scary?

Moreover, she was originally embarrassed to call a boy of the same age, especially a boy she cared about, by his name, so under the double pressure from inside and outside, she chose the second best name.

"I, I'll call you Kuroba-kun from now on."

"Okay, come to that, Haruka, are you really not planning on transferring to our school?"

"Eh? Um..."

"If you come, you can join the Arts Club! The class monitor is now the head of the Arts Club, and the other members of the Arts Club are all girls. I think you should be able to make friends quickly."

Kuroba Akira took the opportunity to persuade Tomita Haruka to transfer schools.

It just so happens that there are only four people in the literature club now, and the remaining candidate has not been decided yet. If Haruka Tomita transfers in, the literature club will not be short of people.

"Well, that..."

Haruka Tomita was still a little hesitant. Besides being reluctant to leave her current friends, another important reason was precisely because of club activities.

Asato Hitomi stepped forward to explain for Tomita Haruka who looked embarrassed.

"Okay, Mingjun, don't make things difficult for Xiaoxia. She's the freshman ace of the Bai Baihe Academy swimming team. She took third place in the Tokyo area in the comprehensive sports meet in August of this year, so she has to represent the school in the competition. She can't transfer here now."

"Oh! You qualified as a regular in your first year? That's impressive!"

No wonder her skin is such a healthy wheat color. It turns out she is from the swimming club. She probably insists on jogging in the morning to exercise her lung capacity.

When talking about swimming, the first thing that comes to mind is the school swimsuit, which can be listed as an old-fashioned JK three-piece set along with Bloomer (leotard shorts) and sailor suits.

But if you want to swim, you should wear a racing swimsuit.

The high-slit racing swimsuit is also very astringent... and it goes well with pantyhose.

Although serious swimmers probably won't wear stockings with their swimsuit.

"Hehe, it's okay... And in the end, I still couldn't make it to the national level, which is a bit of a shame... So, um, what Xiaotong said is right, I want to continue participating in the competition this year and early next year..."

After listening to this, Hei Yuming turned to the squad leader and asked.

"Class monitor, does our school have a swimming club?"

"Of course we have, but the results don't seem very good. The boys may be a little stronger, but the girls are definitely not as good as those of Baibaihe Academy. Baibaihe Academy is ranked among the best in the country in various women's events. For example, the kendo club that Zhencheng is in has won the national championship for three consecutive years."

"Amazing……"

Is Saionji Mamoru actually a kendo girl?

In short, if you want to seriously participate in club activities, strive for good rankings in national competitions, and get recommended places in sports departments of prestigious universities, then it is indeed better to continue staying in Bai Baihe College.
