"Okay, I understand." Ayano Sadano nodded.
"Hana, Toumori-senpai, Doma-senpai, please be careful on your way home."
Touma Sanae and Tsuchima Mei both responded to the sensible Sadato Ayano with a satisfied smile.
Mizukoshi Mio wanted to say something, but Ayano Sadano covered her mouth.
[Fortunately, Mio didn't say it, otherwise Toumori-senpai would definitely be angry again. ]
Seeing the three people getting into the car, Sadano Ayano felt a little relieved.
"Ayano, why are you covering my mouth? Sanae-chan and Doma-senpai have already left, and it would be rude of me not to say goodbye."
As soon as Sadato Ayano let go of her hand, Mizukoshi Mio complained.
Sadato Ayano gave Mizukoshi Mio a cold look. It would be even more impolite to let someone say goodbye.
"By the way, Ayano, when we go to Xiaohua's house this time, should we bring some souvenirs or something?"
Although the two of them went to Yushan and someone else's house to play last time, they didn't bring anything with them. Mizukoshi Mio felt that this seemed a bit impolite.
Sadano Ayano looked at Mizukoshi Mio. She didn't expect that Mizukoshi Mio had such awareness. She suddenly felt a bit like an old mother feeling sad about her daughter's marriage, and felt a bit moved.
"Mio, let's go pick out souvenirs now!" said Sadato Ayano.
"Actually..." Mizukoshi Mio was a little embarrassed. Looking at Sadato Ayano's expression, she felt that the next words would be difficult to say.
"Actually what?" Sadato Ayano was a little confused, but when she recalled that she had invited Mizukoshi Mio to participate in the study session, and Mizukoshi Mio was always timid, she immediately thought of a possibility.
"Don't you want to attend the study session? Yushan Demon Lord is an all-round player in academics, shogi, and sports. If you attend the study session this time, your academic performance will definitely improve significantly!"
Sadato Ayano advised tirelessly.
"It's not that I don't want to remember." Mizukoshi Mio said hurriedly.
"It's...that's..."
Mizukoshi stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together: "You understand, right?"
Sadato Ayano looked at Mio Miu's jargon-like gestures and was a little confused: "Mio, what's wrong with you?"
"That is to say... I'm a little short of money lately and can't afford to buy souvenirs!" Mizukoshi Mio finally said it.
As the New Year was approaching and she was about to receive the New Year's money, Mizukoshi Mio felt that she was about to become financially wealthy, so she spent money lavishly during this period and almost used up all her own piggy banks.
Sadato Ayano finally understood what Mizukoshi Mio meant. It turned out that action was asking her to borrow money!
Seeing Mizukoshi Mio's embarrassed expression, Sadato Ayano couldn't help but blink: "I only have a budget of 2,000 yen..."
"Two thousand yen, two thousand yen is definitely enough!" Mizukoshi Mio shouted.
Chapter 556 National Competition
When they returned home, Shirosaki Hana and Touma Sanae were the only ones in the living room, and Hayama Kazuto was still a little uncomfortable.
"Has Komari gone back yet?" Yushan Kazuto walked into the house and asked.
"Well, after Sister Mai came back, I packed up and went home." Shirosaki Hana nodded, but her eyes were already fixed on the TV screen and never left.
"Has the kotatsu in Ohira's house been replaced?" asked Kazuto Yuyama.
"I heard from Sister Mai that it was changed in the morning." said Shirosaki Hana.
Toumori Sanae raised her head and glanced at Hayama Kazuto, then looked back down at the TV.
[I have been thinking about Koumaro's death since I came back. Is the Great Demon Lord Yushan planning to make Koumaro his vassal? ! ]
Yushan Kazuto hung his coat on the hook, walked into the room, took out the bedding and threw it into the washing machine.
"Do you want to wash the quilt?" Baisakihua couldn't help but blink.
Yushan Kazuto nodded. It has been almost two weeks since the domamo was built, so it is normal to wash the bedding now that they are no longer living there.
What's more, the quilt was covered with sticky essential oil from the past few days. If it weren't for the fact that Doma Yui was going home in the next few days, Yushan Kazuto would have prepared to wash the quilt that day.
"I'll take a shower first and come back to cook for you later." Yushan Heren said.
"Yeah." Baisakihua responded, and suddenly, she seemed to think of something.
"By the way, Kazuto-nii, how was the result of today's football game?"
"We won, a resounding victory." Yushan Heren smiled.
It was indeed a big victory, but the actual battle situation was not as easy as the score showed.
It was a cold winter day, and Yushan and others were only wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts. By the end of the game, they were sweating profusely.
It can be said that it was a resounding victory, and there is no problem at all.
Because of this, Yushan Kazuto decided to take a shower before cooking. This was the first time since late autumn that Yushan Kazuto chose to take a shower after coming back from playing football.
"So...Brother Kazuto, you have advanced to the national competition?" Shirosaki Hana's eyes lit up with a light of admiration.
"That's right, Xiaohua, you guessed it right." Yushan Heren smiled.
The national competition was once an almost unattainable dream for Feng Zhiqi, but now it has become a reality.
After the winter vacation, the national competition will officially begin. During his days off, Kazuto Hayama will probably have to travel all over Japan.
Forty-eight teams emerged from all of Japan's forty-seven prefectures to represent their respective regions in the national competition.
Among them, only Tokyo has two teams. After all, Tokyo is too big and has too many people.
In normal years, the national competition usually starts at the end of the year, and all the games are completed during the winter vacation.
But this year is a cold winter, the coldest winter in decades. In order to protect the players and fans, and in response to calls from all major participating parties, the organizers had to postpone the competition.
It's not common to see snow in Tokyo in late November!
"Brother Kazuto, you must win the championship!" Shirosaki Hana looked at Kazuto Hayama and suddenly said firmly.
When Kazuto Hayama participated in the national competition, she should have returned to Tama and would not be able to cheer for Kazuto Hayama, so she simply cheered him on in advance.
"I will." Yushan Kazuto smiled and walked into the bathroom.
After fighting their way out of the Shura field of Tokyo, they are naturally a strong team in the national competition!
What's more, the traditional strong schools Fukasawa Junior High School and Bayao Sobu High School have been trampled under the feet of Toyosaki, and Yuyama Kazuto can't think of any reason to fail.
【By the way, it looks like Sobu will also be advancing to the national competition. 】
Ever since Sobu High School had a "friendship-ending" match with Toyonosaki, they have been training like crazy.
Originally, Sobu High School's performance in the competition was very precarious, and they were afraid that they would not even have the opportunity to attend the county competition. Unexpectedly, they made rapid progress and, like Toyonosaki, obtained a place to attend the national competition one round in advance.
Of course, there are not many strong teams in Chiba Prefecture, and the difficulty of competition is definitely not on the same level as in Tokyo.
If the strong teams from Tokyo were placed in Chiba Prefecture, not to mention strong schools such as Fukasawa Junior High School, Shuchiin, and Ryuyo High School, even Kaisei Junior High School and Keio Junior High School, which have always accompanied the prince to study, would probably be able to advance.
[Are we going to meet Hayato Hayama again? 】
Yushan Kazuto lay in the bathtub. If possible, he didn't want to touch Hayama Hayato.
Although Hayato Hayama is a good guy, his kindness is a little dull.
[The national competition is a knockout round, so I don’t think we’ll meet.]
……
After dinner, Hayama Kazuto sent Toumori Sanae home as usual.
"By the way, Sanae. Did Rikka agree to come to the study session?" asked Yushan Kazuto while driving.
Yesterday, Toumori Sanae said that she would ask Takanashi Rikka for her opinion, but she has not responded to Hayama Kazuto yet.
"Rikka agreed." Toumori Sanae blinked and said.
Although she didn't really want Rikka Takanashi to attend the study session, Sanae Touma couldn't deny that this study session would be of great help to Rikka Takanashi's grades.
"I agreed. On the day of the study session, Sanae, please help me pick up Rikka." Yushan Kazuto said.
On the day of the study session, Yushan Kazuto had to go to Tama to pick up Himesaka Noa and Hoshino Hinata, and also had to take Yuuki Asuna with him.
No time to pick up Rikka Takanashi.
"Oh, I see." Toumori Sanae responded.
Although it is somewhat contrary to her own ideas, Toumori Sanae will not go against Hayama Kazuto's opinion.
"By the way, Sanae, which subjects is Rikka weakest in?" Hayama Kazuto suddenly asked.
Although he knew that Rikka Takanashi's grades were not very good, Kazuto Yuyama really had no idea which subjects she was weak in.
Toumori Sanae was suddenly speechless. In her opinion, Rikka Takanashi was not good at any of her subjects.
However, if you had to pick a dwarf from these short people, Sanae Touma could still be chosen.
"The worst subject is mathematics, followed by physics and chemistry."
The rest of the subjects are more liberal arts-oriented and require strong memorization. Although Rikka Takanashi's memory is not that good, she can still pass it if she works hard.
However, she is a bit confused when it comes to subjects such as mathematics, physics and chemistry. As soon as Rikka Takanashi sees the subjects, her eyes become dull. The symbols and numbers in the textbooks are simply incomprehensible to her.
"In other words, your science grades aren't that good?" Yushan Kazuto confirmed.
"Yeah." Toumori Sanae nodded.
"That's good. Science subjects are easier to study for." Yushan Kazuto smiled.
If your performance in liberal arts is not good, then apart from some test-taking techniques, all you need to do is simply accumulate knowledge. However, for science, it is relatively easy to make a intensive study.
Chapter 557: Toumori Sanae's Wish
"By the way, Sanae, you'll be going to college next spring. Have you thought about which high school to apply to?"
Walking in the courtyard of Touma's house, Yushan Kazuto suddenly asked.
Further education is an eternal topic, but Touma Sanae seems to have never seriously considered it.
From kindergarten to elementary school, and then to junior high school, all the schools that Toumori Sanae attended were run by her family.
Therefore, Sanae Touma has never felt the pressure of further studies that ordinary people have. However, except for the first grade of elementary school when she got poor grades because she drew a magic circle on the test paper, Sanae Touma's grades have always been outstanding.
When she suddenly heard Yushan Kazuto mention the matter of further studies, Toumori Sanae was a little confused. She didn't have much pressure to continue her studies.
Firstly, her grades were good enough, and secondly, even if her grades were poor, she could still go to school in the school run by her family.
Therefore, Toumori Sanae could only answer: "No... I don't know, I haven't thought about it."
Although she already had her favorite school in mind, that school was actually run by the Touma family. What's more, Touma Sanae didn't want to tell everything to Yushan Kazuto.
"Actually, I think Shuchiin is pretty good. Now Kaguya Shinomiya is cooperating with your family. If you go to Shuchiin, you will definitely be able to make the cooperation between the two sides closer." Yushan Kazuto stopped and said with a smile.
"Shuchiin?" Touma Sanae pouted. She didn't want to go to Shuchiin!
"If you want to go to a good school, you have to work hard in this final exam!" Yushan Kazuto laughed.
After all, Toumori Sanae is a grade-skipping student, and with one year's missing grades, she is actually at a disadvantage when it comes to furthering her studies in Japan.
Many high schools require interviews in addition to written tests. Although nominally they test your willingness to learn and desire to enroll, in most cases they will also check your junior high school transcripts during the interview.
At this time, the missing year's transcript would have to be specifically explained. If you don't have excellent grades to convince the interviewer, the difficulty of admission would probably increase.
Sanae Toumori was a little disapproving of this, but she also felt that it was natural to study hard for the final exam.
After all, she had already discussed with the principal that if she could rank among the top three in the final exam, she would be able to get a recommendation spot!
Recommendation places are very precious, especially those for schools under large education groups, which are almost universal passes within the entire group.
As long as she gets the recommendation, Sanae Toumori will have no problem going to any school she wants.
Of course, with her own status, even if she doesn't study, she can choose the high school within the group.
However, Toumori Sanae doesn't want to do this, she wants to prove herself.
In the audience, there was Domama, and...
"Okay, let's go in quickly. Although the temperature has risen a little today, it's still very cold at night." Yushan Heren said.
Toumori Sanae finally came back to her senses from her thoughts, looked at Yushan Kazuto, and nodded.
"Goodbye." Toumori Sanae said softly.
As long as I get the recommendation after this semester, it won’t be a big problem even if I don’t go to school during my last semester in junior high school.
