"Rikka, sit here for a while. I'll help you make dinner."
Rikka Takanashi put on her eye mask again, put her umbrella aside, and looked unhappy.
Yushan Kazuto just glanced at Rikka Takanashi and didn't come forward to speak.
[The Holy Counselor should be Miss Touka Takanashi, but what exactly is the invisible boundary line? ]
……
The two men's mouths were already drooling with oil after eating two large pieces of Florentine steak. They could not even eat the following dishes without using their knives and forks, as they could no longer eat.
"In a few days, you will be sixteen years old." After dinner, Yayoi Yuyama suddenly said.
"Yeah." Yushan Heren responded.
"How are you going to celebrate your sixteenth birthday?"
"Just like usual." Yushan Heren said slowly. He hasn't celebrated his birthday for many years.
"To be honest, when Mr. Toumori and Sayuri-san sent me the photos, I still found it a little unbelievable." Yayoi Yuyama said with some emotion, "You have changed a lot since coming to Tokyo."
“I don’t think much has changed.”
"Let's have a birthday party."
……
Walking out of Vittorio's cabin, a Toyota Crown stopped on the side of the road, with several guards in plain clothes standing next to the car.
"Get in the car?"
Yushan Kazuto shook his head.
"Then go back by yourself."
Yayoi Yuyama walked into the car, which started immediately. After taking a few steps, it stopped again. The window was lowered and a head popped out.
"By the way, has your mother contacted you recently?"
"There was a phone call last week."
Yayoi Yuyama retracted her head, let out a long sigh, and seemed to feel a lot more relieved.
"By the way, your aunt called and said Xiaohua missed you. If you have time, remember to visit Tama."
The vehicle started again and soon disappeared around the corner of the road.
……
Back at the apartment, the elevator door opened and Kasumigaoka Utaha rushed out of the elevator, in a hurry, as if she had something important to do.
Yushan Kazuto took the initiative to avoid her, and she didn't seem to have the time to argue with Yushan Kazuto, so she ran out of the apartment.
In the elevator, a stack of gray-black USB flash drives caught people's attention. Yushan and others picked it up and saw five big characters written in marker on the USB flash drive: Love Metronome.
[Isn't it because of the deadline? 】
Kasumigaoka Utaha's hurried look is very similar to the way many deadline warriors type frantically in order to meet perfect attendance requirements.
Yushan and others ran out to chase after her, but Kasumigaoka Utaha had disappeared.
[Did you take a taxi?] Yushan Kazuto shrugged.
[It shouldn’t be a manuscript submission, isn’t it? Aren’t manuscript submissions usually done via email now? ]
……
"Shi-chan, you're finally here. There's only one hour left before the deadline for your submission!" Machida Sonoko stood at the door of the Kadokawa Building, looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha who was jogging and panting, and took the initiative to greet her.
Kasumigaoka Utaha raised her head, her chest heaving, and finally caught up.
"Next time when you finish writing, just submit the electronic manuscript to me via email. That way you don't have to be so hasty." said Machida Sonoko.
"In order to complete the manuscript on time, I cut the Internet cable at home, and my cell phone bill was out of balance, so I couldn't submit the electronic manuscript."
Kasumigaoka Utaha touched her chest and calmed her breathing.
Machida Sonoko looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha in horror. She was really capable of going to such lengths for writing. She was truly a wolf-mite.
"Then please give me the manuscript. Shi-chan can create such a work.
Passion, as Shijiang's editor, I should also be more enthusiastic in reviewing the manuscripts!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha reached into her bag, but didn't feel the USB drive. She poured everything in the bag onto the ground. All the other things were there, except the USB drive, which was nowhere to be found.
"Shi-chan, you wouldn't have forgotten to bring the manuscript, right?" Machida Sonoko said a terrifying possibility.
"Impossible! I checked it before I left the house!"
Machida Sonoko felt a little headache. It seemed that things were more troublesome than she had imagined.
"There must be a backup on your computer at home. I'll go home with you to get it. I remember you live in Chiyoda, so it should be in time."
"I'll go hail a taxi!"
Kasumigaoka Utaha ran to the side of the road and a taxi just stopped. She walked over with some relief. The door suddenly opened and Yushan Kazuto got out.
Looking at the miserable appearance of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Yushan Kazuto felt that he might have guessed right.
"You are looking for this thing, right?" Yushan Kazuto threw the USB drive to Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth slightly and looked at Yushan Kazuto with surprise.
[Oh, I was misunderstood again.]
Without any communication, Yushan and others went straight back to the car: "Master, please go back the same way you came."
Looking at the taxi turning around and leaving, Kasumigaoka Utaha was a little dazed.
"Shi-chan, what are you doing here? Why didn't you stop that taxi just now?" Machida Sonoko also ran over.
"No need, Editor Machida." Kasumigaoka Utaha looked back and smiled, showing the USB drive in her hand.
……
"Yushan, I heard that the second volume of "Love Metronome" will be released in June!"
Looking at the message on his phone, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but sigh: [Mei, how come your message came at such a coincidence? ]
Chapter 94 Office
"Good morning, Yushan-kun."
"Morning, Ishimura-san."
"Good morning, Yushan."
"Good morning, Kanda-san."
"Hazan Hazan, Meowpas!"
"Good morning, Miyauchi-san."
The way of greeting in the morning changed subtly, but Yushan Heren didn't notice it.
The layout of the classroom had changed, and a seating chart was displayed on a slide, so Yushan Kazuto quickly found his seat.
He was still next to Kato Megumi, but he changed from sitting next to her to sitting at the same table.
"Mei, what a coincidence." Yushan Kazuto walked to the seat with a smile.
"What a coincidence." Kato Megumi raised her eyebrows and said with a slightly happy tone.
The last class in the morning was world history. During the class, Kirisu Madoka kept looking at Hayama Kazuto with angry eyes, showing great dissatisfaction.
"Hayama Kazuto, come to my office after class."
To be fair, Kirisu Madoka is a good teacher. He manages things in an orderly manner, teaches seriously, and is very popular among his classmates.
When Yushan Kazuto was called into the office by Kirisu Madoka, his classmates looked at him with a mixture of sympathy and envy. In comparison, the look of envy was probably more of a factor.
office.
Yushan Kazuto was rarely called into the teacher's office, so he seemed a little restrained, standing in front of the door, as if thinking about whether he should take the left foot or the right foot first.
"Come right in!" Kirisu Madoka was already sitting on the chair with her legs crossed, revealing her beautiful curves under her smooth black stockings and teacher's uniform.
Yushan Heren's eyes flickered as he walked into the office.
"Close the door!"
The door slowly closed, and the curtains of the office were drawn, leaving only Hayama Kazuto and Kirisu Madoka staring at each other. Hayama Kazuto felt something was wrong, as if the opening of many campus movies was played like this.
"Tea." Kirisu Madoka pointed to a European porcelain cup on the table. The cup was steaming, and from the aroma of tea in the air, one could tell it was a cup of black tea.
【Sleepy black tea?】
Yushan Kazuto felt that the direction of the story was not right.
"Yushan, do you know your results this time?" Kirisu Madoka didn't beat around the bush. After Yushan and others took a sip of tea, she went straight to the point.
"About 20th, or 21st in the class?" Yushan Heren said uncertainly.
Kirisu Mafuyu looked at Hayama Kazuto with an even colder gaze: "Twentieth in the class, two hundred and seventy-fifth in the grade. Do you still remember what grade you were in during the entrance exam?"
"A good man never mentions his bravery."
【It seems that Hui is the 21st. 】
"The top student in the grade in terms of academic ability, the first student to receive full marks in history! And an all-round athlete with comprehensive development in both study and sports." Although Kirisu Madoka's tone was not very friendly, Yushan Kazuto still felt secretly happy when he heard her bragging about her achievements.
"After the results came out, I took a special look at the Fengzhizaki entrance exam paper, and the difficulty of the exam paper is almost the same as this midterm exam. In other words, as long as you maintain the level of the entrance exam, you will at least be in the top three in the class in this midterm exam."
"Yushan, can you explain why your grades have suddenly dropped so drastically?"
Yushan and Ren didn't say anything.
"You should know why I came to Fengnosaki." Kirisu Madoka looked at Yushan Kazuto, with coldness between her brows.
Yushan Kazuto could only shrug and nod.
"You are a talented student. Whether it's for your future or for the commission of teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka, I can't sit idly by and watch you fall into depravity."
Fall?
Hayama Kazuto felt that Kirisu Mafuyu was making a big deal out of nothing.
"Any change is accumulated from small changes. Details determine success or failure. Only by accumulating details can we achieve success." The look of Kirisu Madoka preaching seriously is really cute.
"Although there are still many things to consider, and laxity cannot be the only reason for your decline, I have reason to believe that you have not studied seriously. After all, on the first day of my class, you ate cake in class openly."
When Kirisu Madoka mentioned this, Hayama Kazuto suddenly blushed.
"I know you are also the captain of the football team and your performance is also outstanding. But I also went to the football team to find out that your training attendance rate is only 90%."
"You have excellent talents in both study and football. As long as you work hard in these two areas, you will definitely become an excellent talent. But if you slack off, the final result may be nothing."
"Nothing accomplished?"
"Yes, that's right, because I am such a person. Because of a momentary emotional impulse, I gave up my talent and eventually became a mediocre person."
"The reason I chose to become a teacher is because I want to help talented people to maximize their talents. Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka entrusted me to advise you, perhaps because he saw my beliefs."
"This exam can only be regarded as a microcosm of your usual study life. I hope you can recognize your shortcomings, study hard, strive for the next exam, and perform at your expected level."
"Teacher, I understand." Yushan Heren said perfunctorily, "It's lunch time now, and I haven't had lunch yet."
Kirisu Madoka frowned. In her opinion, Yushan Kazuto had already fallen a little.
The tendency to fall.
"Okay, you go first." Although she was a little unhappy, Kirisu Madoka still nodded. As an educator, she knew very well that if she wanted to discipline troublesome students, especially talented troublesome students, preaching once or twice would not have much effect.
"Well, Kirisu-sensei, I'm leaving now."
Kirisu Madoka opened her beautiful eyes wide as she looked at Yushan Kazuto. Her right hand unconsciously grasped the teacup on the table, brought it to her mouth, and took a sip.
"Teacher, I have drunk that cup of tea." Yushan Heren felt a little uneasy when she stared at him. After thinking about it, he said angrily.
"puff!"
Kirisu Madoka spat out the tea in her mouth, all over her OL skirt. She hurriedly stood up, but seemed to be too nervous, and the cup in her hand fell and broke into pieces.
Hayama Kazuto grinned, walked to the side, and handed a broom and ash bucket to Kirisu Madoka.
For a moment, the office was filled with dust and Kirisu Madoka started coughing violently. Yushan Kazuto covered his nose in time and stood aside in panic.
