After school, Kato Yusuke did not go to the art classroom as usual, but went directly to the platform of Toyosaki Station.
I didn't take any trams, I just sat alone on the bench on the platform and read the novel, waiting for today's main character to appear.
There was an endless flow of people coming and going, many of them students from Toyosaki Academy.
Those boys and girls who have neither participated in club activities nor worked part-time are now enthusiastically discussing where to go to play next. They are very leisurely.
Due to social differences, most Japanese people do not have a strong desire for "class improvement" and do not regard the college entrance examination as a crossroads to change their destiny.
Therefore, there are many people who choose to spend their high school life happily and go out to work directly after graduation.
On the contrary, for those students who want to get into a good university, it is not so easy. In addition to sacrificing a lot of recreational activities, it is common to attend cram schools in various private schools after school.
After all, just relying on the school's own courses to get admitted to first-class universities such as Tokyo University, Nagoya, and Kyoto University is nothing more than a fool's dream.
However, Kato Yusuke does not have such a big goal. For him, going to college is just to fulfill the agreement with his grandfather, and there is nothing else.
Although it is still early, he has already decided on the school he will apply for in the future. It is the one located between Shibuya and Omotesando - Aoyama Gakuin University.
The reason for choosing Seigaku is simple, simply because it is relatively close to home. Just take the Chiyoda Line to Omotesando Station, and then take the JR Line to get there. It is definitely not because Seigaku has so many beauties that I want to take the exam there.
As for the cram school? It's impossible for him to go to it, because - it's really expensive!
According to the survey, the average hourly salary of cram school lecturers in Japan is 1,800 yen. If it is a famous cram school, the average hourly salary can even reach more than 2,500 yen, which is a very high standard.
Of course, for those parents from wealthy families who do not want their children to attend large classes, tutors who can come to teach are also very popular among them.
In addition to being more free than cram schools, targeted teaching methods and direct communication with students are also the reasons why parents choose tutors.
In contrast, the cost of a tutor is much higher than the former. Usually the average hourly salary is around 2,500 yen, and the more expensive ones can reach more than 4,000 yen, which is almost double that of a tutor in a cram school.
Speaking of being a tutor, it is really an easy job. You only need to chat with the lovely students, eat the delicious snacks sent by the beautiful ladies, and then you can basically go home.
"Hmm... I seem to have seen similar themes." Kato Yusuke murmured, and his thoughts began to wander so quickly that he subconsciously ignored the surrounding environment. Until -
"Kato-kun?"
The plain and pleasant female voice interrupted his thoughts and brought Kato Yusuke back to his consciousness.
Looking up, I saw Kato Megumi looking over here and saying, "Why are you here?"
Her expression seemed a little confused and slightly curious.
With an upright appearance and delicate skin, it is convex where it should be and concave where it should be. The thighs exposed under the skirt of the sailor suit directly show off the fair and eye-catching complexion.
Very eye-catching.
"Well, good afternoon, Kato-san." Yusuke Kato came back to his senses and said hello: "Are you ready to go home?"
"Hmm...huh? That's not the case." Megumi Kato shook her head, took a step aside and explained, "Actually, I plan to go to a famous coffee shop with Kako to check in."
Only then did Kato Yusuke see the face of the girl who was behind her, so he nodded again.
"Good afternoon to you too, Kako-san."
"Do you think I'm included? Is it a product that comes with shopping? Xiaomei's?" Kako protested with some dissatisfaction to Kato Yusuke who didn't notice her.
"No one said that." Kato Megumi said calmly: "It's just because Kako you are always behind, so others can't see you."
"Is that so?" Jiazi glanced at the two of them with some doubts, and muttered in a low voice: "...Xiaohui...just...suddenly..."
"Hey, what did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing~" Kako shook her head, turned her gaze to Kato Yusuke, and said cheerfully: "That's it, I don't mind if Kato-kun wants to come together, right?"
"Together? You mean the coffee shop?" Kato Yusuke shook his head and said, "Sorry, I still have things to do, so forget it."
Not to mention that today's business has not been done yet, even if there is nothing else... it feels quite strange to go to a place like a coffee shop with a girl, so naturally it is impossible to agree.
After hearing his rejection, Jiazi sighed a little boredly, but she immediately regained her energy and said: "That's really a pity, then let's play together again next time we have a chance, bye!"
The train also arrived at the station at this time, so Kato Yusuke watched the two women walk towards the opened door.
"Ah, by the way..." Kato Megumi stopped and turned around as if remembering something, "Although it may be abrupt for me to say this, the way Kato-kun was thinking about something just now felt a bit strange."
The girl's expression changed slightly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said with her mouth - "Just like Yamaguchi-san and Takei-san."
…
It wasn't until the train left that Kato Yusuke pinched his eyebrows in frustration.
Thinking about the plot of the book near the school is really a big deal, and someone will find out if you are not careful.
"By the way, did I act very obviously just now?" He murmured to himself.
Thinking about all this, another ten minutes passed.
Just like all the protagonists appear last, when the clock on the platform pointed to 4 o'clock, the blond lady was belatedly arriving.
Because of her overly eye-catching appearance, as soon as the other party appeared, all the passengers waiting for the train, regardless of gender, focused their attention on the girl.
"here."
Kato Yusuke waved to Eri, who was looking around, indicating his position, and the girl walked towards him.
"Let's go." The girl who kept a distance of two meters from him said, as if she didn't want people to misunderstand their relationship.
Kato Yusuke didn't take it too seriously. After all, this was something the two of them had agreed on in advance. He just said something to Eiri.
"Generally speaking, at this time, you should say "Sorry, I've been waiting for a long time", which is the normal reaction of a young lady."
"No, there is no way! Because everyone comes to talk to me when school is over, and we can't ignore it, so we are delayed."
The girl argued in a low voice: "Besides, you are a boy. It would be too bad to hold on to the fact that a girl is late..."
"No, I just pay more attention to the concept of time." Kato Yusuke said calmly: "And your father is a diplomat, right? Is it really okay to let such a big shot wait for so long?"
"He's expecting... Ahem, the tram is coming. Let's go quickly."
