Release of Pokémon begins in Tokyo

Jun Minase was speechless. He wanted to ask Satake Otome about her family situation but he still didn't speak.

However, Otome Satake spoke first: "I have lived on Shikoku Island since I was a child, and I was able to come to Tokyo because Minakami-sensei invited me to my hometown many times."

She was minding her own business and began to recall that Jun Minase was a person who liked to listen. He was still very curious about why a person who had lived in Shikoku since childhood came to Tokyo.

"I have been running fast since I was a child, much faster than ordinary children. It happened that the water teacher knew one of my cousins, and after hearing about me, he asked his family to take a video of me running."

"I ran very fast in the video. To be honest, it was the first time I saw myself running from the perspective of a bystander, and it was also the first time I realized that I ran so fast."

"In this way, I was valued by Teacher Minami. She traveled from Tokyo to Shikoku many times when I was in the third year of junior high school. She persuaded my family many times, saying that they could not bury my talent and let me come to Tokyo to receive professional track and field training. , showing off his abilities in the competition step by step. It was a very hard time for the water teacher, and he traveled to and from Shikoku Island countless times."

"Perhaps because of Teacher Mizunami's sincerity, my family agreed to let me live in Tokyo. The cost of renting a house will be borne by my parents."

"But I wanted to do my best to lighten their burden so that they don't have to work so hard, so I found a part-time job near the rental house."

Although he didn't know what was going on in Ehime County, Jun Minase knew that Shikoku Island was a backward area in Japan with an underdeveloped economy and so many mountains that the railway had to be built along the seaside.

Yes, it's the seaside, not the coastline. You can enter the sea by walking a few dozen meters back from the platform.

There are a total of four counties in Shikoku Island, two of which have been among the top five economically backward counties in the country all year round. The remaining two counties are about fifty steps and one hundred steps away. It is no exaggeration to say that they are remote and remote.

Ehime Prefecture is probably not much better.

Satake Otome, who came from an ordinary family in such a small place, naturally found it difficult to live in a high-consumption place like Tokyo.

Not to mention that Satake Otome is only a high school student and has no formal job and can only rely on her family.

She should be a person with great self-respect, otherwise she would not feel bad about spending family money.

However... Jun Minase thought that the house he rented seemed quite big, and it would be no problem even for two people.

Should I let Satake Otome stay in my house with the intention of helping my classmates?

This can not help but lighten the burden on Satake's family who is far away in Shikoku Island. Satake Otome does not have to devote her energy and time to working part-time. She can be more immersed in sports training, which will greatly help her future life path.

My house is pretty big, so when I get tired from playing, I just go to bed!

This thought ran through his mind for a while, and Minase Jun didn't have the courage to say it out loud.

"That's it. I'm causing trouble for my family by coming to Tokyo." Satake Otome was obviously talking about an experience that would make people feel uncomfortable, but her tone was full of sunshine and determination to not admit defeat. "So I have to make a name for myself in sports, otherwise I can't stand up to them."

"Satake! You must work hard."

This sentence was what Satake Otome said to herself. She clenched her fists and encouraged herself.

"Well, you are a talented person, and you will definitely go further in track and field." Jun Minase comforted Satake Otome, but when these words came out of his mouth, it felt a bit weird.

If it weren't for the system, Jun Minase would not be able to compete with the talented Satake Otome. Only Jun Minase himself knew that everything he said was true and sincere, without any falsehood.

"No." Satake Otome shook her head and put down the udon she had finished eating. "Compared to others, I may have some talent. I used to think that I was a gifted person, but with water Compared with you, Minase-san, I realize that I am still far behind. Minase-san, you are more talented than me, and the path of track and field is more suitable for you. I heard that you rejected Teacher Minzu’s invitation..."

Jun Minase laughed awkwardly, he really didn't dare to accept what Satake Otome said.

He knew that Satake Otome would probably mention this matter. After all, considering his talent, it was really incomprehensible to refuse Kimiko Minakami's invitation. He had no choice but to use the method he had previously used to Uemura Kazuya and Uemura. The previous words were repeated again.

"Dream..." Satake Otome was not as easy to fool as the two Uemuras. She bit her lip and said, "Although I cannot understand Minase-san's thoughts, I am just an outsider and I have no position to say more."

"I know it's hard for others to understand, but this is what I really think."

While talking, Minase Junya ate all the udon noodles.

He then thought that if Satake Otome really embarked on the path of a professional athlete, she might be insulated from all the delicacies and snacks in the world.

In order to maintain physical condition, and also to worry about whether the food contained in the food may be prohibited by sports testing, professional athletes are not allowed to eat casually.

Unless she can eat and drink like a normal person until she retires, eating food randomly will ruin her career.

Satake Otome looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the noodle shop, opened her eyes wide and said to Jun Minase: "I still need to go to the store to work. If I go later, I will be late."

"Okay, I also need to go home to do something."

The two separated outside the noodle shop. Satake Otome was vigorous and running all the way even on the way to work, but this was considered as bringing exercise into her life.

"Anyway, thank you for today! Minase-san! I will repay this kindness in the future!"

There is no need to repay this kindness. Minase Jun thinks that as long as Satake Otome doesn't casually draw a sword to help when there is injustice on the street in the future, she is lucky enough to meet him this time. It will probably be bad if there is no one to help next time. .

Jun Minase slowly returned to the rental house. He first turned on the computer and looked at the store page.

Today is Tuesday, but the discounts on the store page are not refreshing.

"We still have to wait a few more days."

It seems that the games included with the system are not refreshed simultaneously with the game platform on Tuesdays. The "Pokémon" series of games should be refreshed in a few days.

Since the store page has not been updated for the time being, go play some other games.

Jun Minase thought for a while and placed the order for "LOL".

The food is a specialty of Japanese cuisine, you have to try it!
