Chapter 413 The Ogihara family’s dining table

"It was a night in Tokyo when a boy and a girl met..."

"Instead of relying on you to protect her alone, don't you think that helping her build up her confidence and improving the environment is the right way to go?"

"If you really want to thank me, you can kiss me as a thank you gift."

…

"Um……"

A soft groan-like sound echoed quietly.

Sayu's eyelashes trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes.

The blurred vision slowly became clear.

What came into view was a familiar room.

The alarm clock on the bedside table clearly pointed out the time at this moment - 7:05 in the morning.

There is still plenty of time before school starts, and there is still room for even a little more squinting.

"Hmm..."

Sayu slowly sat up, covering his forehead with one hand, thinking silently.

She felt as if she had had a dream, a very real dream.

However, once I think about it carefully and recall it, I can't recall anything.

Everyone has had such an experience, it is like opening your eyes while half asleep and half awake, but your consciousness is still stuck in the afterglow of the dream.

After thinking hard for a while, the dream was still a mess.

"Tokyo……"

Sayu frowned slightly, murmured to himself, and then fell into silence again.

He raised his hand and pressed it on his chest, feeling inexplicably empty and lost.

Click...

The small round beads in the cinnabar bottle made a soft sound, interrupting her meditation and bringing her back to her senses.

After hearing the sound, Sayu couldn't help but feel relieved and put aside the dream. Only the word "Tokyo" became clearer in his mind.

"come on……!"

I patted my cheeks a little harder to cheer myself up.

Just get up and get down, put on the slippers next to the bed.

Sayu picked up the bottle of vitamins, poured a pill into the palm of his hand, and drank it with water.

Then he got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and start getting ready for school...

…

Asahikawa Sixth High School, Class 3, Grade 3.

As the date of the unified examination approaches, the atmosphere in the class becomes more and more tense.

The students all held reference books and red books in their hands and studied hard. Even during the break, it was no different from during class.

Except for those who have already decided on other options, or the lucky few who have been recommended for admission, everyone must be prepared and work hard to get into the university of their choice.

It was also during this period.

The frequency of tripartite meetings between teachers, students, and parents is becoming more and more frequent.

For those students whose deviation value is far from their target university, the teacher will honestly advise them to lower their goals during the meeting and not to aim too high.

For those whose differences are not large, targeted suggestions will be given depending on the situation and will be observed for a period of time.

This is a very meticulous job, because it requires caring about every student's situation, so the teachers who lead the graduating class have also been very busy recently.

——Teacher Misaki, who is the homeroom teacher of Grade 3 in Grade 3, is no exception.

That was after the fourth period of class in the morning.

While she was sorting out course materials and students' recent results, the most special student in the class suddenly came over.

"Miss Misaki, are you available?"

"What's the matter? Ogiwara-san."

"It's something about the university that I want to talk to you about."

Hearing this, Teacher Misaki couldn't help but asked in surprise: "University?"

"Well, college."

Sayu nodded calmly and repeated.

"...That's it, then come with me, let's go to the rest area."

"OK."

The two of them came to the rest area in the corner of the office, where the previous Yagami writer had sat with Sayu when he came to school.

There is a screen here. Although it is not as private as an independent student guidance room, it is still a semi-private space.

In addition, it happened to be lunch time and other teachers had also left the office, so it was a good time to talk.

Wait until you sit down on the sofa.

Teacher Misaki did not beat around the bush and asked directly: "So? What is the problem?"

"Teacher Misaki." Sayu took a deep breath and then said, "As for college, I decided to take the exam to a school in Tokyo."

"——Tokyo??" Misaki-sensei's voice rose twice, and this unexpected answer made her head feel dizzy for a moment.

"Yes, Tokyo." Sayu nodded heavily, her cute face slightly tensed.

Compared to the other party, her voice was soft, but it contained an inexplicable seriousness and courage, as if she was telling her that this decision was the result of careful consideration.

Teacher Misaki heard this and couldn't help but frowned deeply and said: "...What a sudden news. Anyway, can you tell me why you have this idea in the first place?"

Sayu hummed, unconsciously grasped the skirt on her thighs, and responded: "I'm sorry, actually I had similar thoughts before...but now I finally made up my mind."

"Have you made up your mind..."

"Yes……!"

A brief silence.

Misaki-sensei tilted her head slightly and rubbed her slightly throbbing temple with the thumb of her right hand, puzzled.

After about ten seconds, she carefully considered her words and asked: "Even if you say that...then what are you going to do about Hokkaido University's recommendation qualifications?"

Sayu nodded and responded: "Because Hokkaido University does not require entrance exams, I will go to Tokyo after the unified examination to take entrance exams for other schools."

"...I see, that means you haven't completely given up on Hokkaido University, right?"

"Yes, I think so..."

Teacher Misaki felt relieved when he heard this, breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked: "Then if the results in Tokyo don't go well..."

"In that case... I will go to Hokkaido University." After saying this, Sayu lowered his head and apologized in a low voice.

"There's no need to apologize. It's a very mature idea to leave yourself a way out. It's good if you think so... Also, have you told your family about this?"

"……not yet."

"Is that so..." Looking at the girl who shook her head slightly, Teacher Misaki couldn't help but feel a little troubled, but still said: "Anyway, this matter still needs to be discussed with the family, right?"

"...Well, I will."

Feeling that the atmosphere was becoming a little heavy, Misaki-sensei quickly changed the topic.

"As for the university in Tokyo, have you chosen your target?"

"Well, I've made my choice." Sayu raised his head and said, "Haoying University, Aoyama Academy, and the guaranteed Fusukawa University... That's what I think for the time being, but it depends on the exam time."

"Well, let's not talk about Zaoying and Qingxue... Judging from your grades, it's not impossible. As for Immortal Sichuan University..."

Teacher Misaki stopped here, her eyes became a little helpless, and then continued.

"That's already a second-rate university, right? Is it possible that you would rather go to a second-rate university than choose a first-rate institution like Hokkaido University?"

"Eh? That's not the case..." Sayu blinked and turned her gaze to the side. She thought of the dream in the morning again for no reason, as if a voice had been calling her to go to Tokyo...

Seeing her unconvincing performance, Teacher Misaki sighed in distress.

No matter how much she thought about it, she never expected that the student who was least supposed to have problems would actually have problems.

In the end, it can only be attributed to reasons such as young people's longing for the outside world and the pursuit of dreams.

Although she felt that this was a bit thoughtless, it was the student's own business after all, and she would only give suggestions and not make any comments.

Thinking of this, I pondered for a moment.

"Since you have this idea, I have the red book of Zaoying and Qingxue. You can take it back and read it later."

"Eh? Well, how is this possible? I can just buy it myself." Sayu waved her hands and said.

However, Teacher Misaki was very insistent and took her back to her desk and gave her a collection of historical test questions from the two schools.

As for the red book of Fusigawa University...she didn't buy it because it was too unpopular.
