In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 30 The Streets of Tokyo

When I came to the classroom, the sky outside was already a little dark.

Before entering the door, Kai Uesugi looked at the dial.

18:09:25
After knocking lightly on the door, he opened it directly and entered the classroom.

In the classroom, apart from the four people he invited at noon, only Nozomi Haneda was sitting at the desk.

Leaning on a chair, dressed in a professional teacher's attire, holding "Mandarin Comprehensive" with one hand, her long black hair is neat and neat, neat and tidy.

When Haneda Ximu heard the sound of the door opening, she turned to him and said, "Uesugi, sit down quickly when you're here, you can do today's homework first, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me."

"Ah."

Uesugi Kai agreed, and randomly found a seat near the front and sat down.

He subconsciously glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi, she was very quiet, quietly doing exercises by herself.

It seemed normal, but Kai Uesugi knew that she was still a little concerned about what happened just now.

Kai Uesugi tried his best to calm down the complicated emotions in his heart, kept himself in a normal state, and opened his schoolbag.

He took out the exercises assigned by the school today from his schoolbag and began to write proficiently.

After the intelligence was raised to 8, all the topic text became clear in the mind.

Watching word by word, the originally boring text is as smooth as a movie, giving people an immersive experience.

Quick and clear.

Is this the problem in Xueba's eyes?

Kaoru Uesugi, who accumulated his grades by brushing questions, couldn't help being a little envious of those people who are born with such intelligence. They have to spend ten times their efforts to achieve goals that others can easily accomplish.

People have to lament the injustice of the so-called "talent".

Haneda Ximu's voice suddenly came:
"Because today is the day of the study session, I didn't prepare any materials and exercises. Let's write down the role of today first. My idea is that in the future, according to the shortcomings of your respective subjects, you will make a remedial plan and improve quickly. At the same time, make progress with each other.

"Under these conditions, I hope that all five of you can strive for the top ten in your grade."

【Drip. Didi】

[New task detected]

[Task Difficulty: Level [-]]

[Task content: Make yourself enter the top ten in the grade]

【Task time: one month】

[mission limit: none]

[Task penalty: none]

[Mission Supplement: For every member of the study club who enters the top ten in the grade, the reward will be +1]

[Brief description: You who want to be salted fish finally have a real small goal]

"Um"

Kaoru Uesugi paused, and pressed a black pen against his chin, a little confused.

The system task is triggered?
Over the past few days, after trying many times on purpose, he still hasn't figured out the triggering mechanism of the system tasks. It seems that he has set a goal and he really wants to do it, and these tasks will suddenly appear.

Last time it was duplicity, this time it is growth?

Sure enough, did he follow the rules of [An Honest Salted Fish with Dreams]?

Leaving that aside for now.

What does that reward +1 mean, an increase in quantity, or an upgrade in quality?
"Ms. Haneda, will it be difficult?"

Ayaka Riei asked tentatively, she was not confident about her grades.

There are ten classes in the second grade, and the number of each class is about 35 people.

Since this is a private school, the tuition fees are expensive, and there are entrance exams, most students study for the purpose of being admitted to a university, and they don't hold much water.

However, Ayaka Liying's grades have been hovering in the middle and upper reaches of the entire grade. It is conceivable that it will be difficult to raise the total score to the top ten within a month.

"Because it's difficult, it's worth the effort," Nozomi Haneda said to her, "Among the five of you, only Uesugi's score is closer to the top ten."

"As your instructor, of course I have to urge you. You all aim to enter the university, right?"

"Ah."

Except Uesugi Kai who was concentrating on the problem, everyone nodded.

Haneda Ximu continued: "It is no problem to enter the university with your grades, but it is not enough if you want to be admitted to a first-class university. Besides, this school does not accept 'ronin', which means that you have no problems in this school. Opportunity to retake the exam.

"Many students have chosen to participate in private schools this semester, and use their free time to study at night, and your pressure will increase. This is the purpose of this study meeting."

"Although the number of people is relatively small at present, this study session is still in the experimental stage. You are my first batch of students."

The first batch?
That means there will be a second batch.

At that time, it should still be selected in the class, and it is estimated that every student will have their turn.

Kaoru Uesugi couldn't help but feel sorry for the two guys Goto and Tsubokawa. With their temperament, it is difficult to stay in this kind of evening study meeting.

The time came to around 07:30 in the evening.

At this time, the five members of the study meeting have also completed their study assignments under the guidance of Haneda Ximu.

The sky was already dark, but the continuous flow of vehicles on the street and the passers-by returning home from get off work at night made this section of the road not seem deserted.

Ninety Rika, as the eldest lady of the current member of Congress, is naturally picked up by a housekeeper at this time, and the glasses girl Kiyohara Hitomi dropped by, and they also picked her up and sent her home.

Looking at the Honda luxury car going away at the school gate, Kai Uesugi didn't pay too much attention, stepped on his schoolbag, and followed behind Hanamaru Hanabi and Ayaka Riei.

The two walked ahead talking and laughing as usual, no different from the past.

After walking for a while, taking the East-West Line and getting out of the tram, it was the two of them alone on their way home.

Hanamaru Hanabi held the satchel in both hands and placed it in front of her body. The black pleated skirt swayed gently following her even steps.

Uesugi Kai walked beside her, secretly looking at this very familiar girl next door from time to time.

For some reason, he always felt that the way he looked at her recently was a little strange.

The sounds of cars, walking, and talking on the phone are constantly emerging on the cramped streets of Tokyo. People are rushing forward to their respective goals.

The neon lights looked very bright at night, the izakaya opposite was steaming, and the man in a suit and leather shoes had a rosy face, sitting in front of a row of wooden benches.

They held their ales aloft, cheering that another day of leisure had finally arrived.

The shadows of the two appeared longer and shorter under the orange streetlights.

Kai Uesugi looked at the round face of Hanamaru Hanabi beside him, remembered what happened this afternoon, looked at the crossroads ahead, and said softly:
"Hanabi, I'm sorry, I didn't come to help you stop that guy this afternoon, I just watched from the side"

There was silence for a moment.

"Uh-huh,"

Hanamaru Hanabi shook her head lightly, her soft short hair swaying slightly under the light,
"It's none of Uesugi-kun's business, it's just that Li Ying-chan was very angry at that time, and it was because of the fireworks."

She paused.

"Uesugi-kun didn't mean to stand there waiting. Uesugi-kun just wants Hanabi to be brave and learn to refuse, just like when I was a child."

After listening, Uesugi Kai suddenly showed a happy smile on his face.

Hanamaru Hanabi's blushing little face was full of doubts, and she looked up at him:
"What are you laughing at, Uesugi-kun?"

The girl's gaze was Yiyi, and there was a warm luster in her pupils.

But Kaoru Uesugi did not answer her question, but asked her back:
"Huahuo, can you tell me what you think about being confessed this afternoon?"
