The blue sea, my youth

Walking in the corridor, the three of them couldn't help but question. Takaharu: "Such a bad environment..." Iori: "What's the point of calling it Shirakawa." Kohei: "It's all black when you cut it open."

Chisa was also curious: "Will Professor Shirakawa be a good researcher?"

"No, I think Professor Shirakawa is a very nice person." Senior Shou refuted the others' statement, "If it's Professor Shirakawa's laboratory."

"Ah?" ×3

Walking to the door of the office, the glasses-wearing senior knocked on the door twice, "Professor, we're coming in."

After the door opened, the few saw pigeon feathers falling from the sky, and the person sitting on the computer chair below was Associate Professor Ushiromiya.

"Welcome," Associate Professor turned around Iori, opened his hands and pretended to be handsome, but it was disgusting to see, "My laboratory!!"

"Why is it you!!" ×3, when they saw the pigeon, the few people had expected it, but after seeing the real person, the trio still broke the defense.

The three people's words also attracted the attention of the associate professor, who pointed at them in shock, "Ah! It's you!!"

The three turned around and looked at the seniors. Iori: "Senior, what's going on!!" Kohei: "It's not Professor Shirakawa at all!" Takaharu: "This is not even a professor!"

Senior Shou: "We didn't say it was Professor Shirakawa."

Associate professor: "You're a bit too much when you say it's not even a professor. I'm an associate professor under a professor, and I'm about to become a professor!"

Takaharu didn't realize how he could be considered Bai Yan until he found the associate professor's name tag. On his name tag, it was written 'Professor Ushiromiya Jun (specially small)'. There are several sounds in the phonetic notation below that can make up the pronunciation of white.

Iori also noticed this at the same time. Takaharu: "There is actually a pronunciation of Bai..." Iori: "... This can barely be considered Bai." Kouhei: "This naming is full of malice."

The associate professor found that Takaharu didn't care about him at all. He snapped his fingers and pointed at the three people, asking the seniors: "What are those idiots here for?"

Senior Anxi: "I came to help." Senior Shou was still thinking about the juniors, "They also said they wanted to ask about credits."

"Hmph, I remember giving those two idiots a failing grade," the associate professor thought for a while and blew the hot tea in his hand, "Although there is an idiot who calls me associate professor every day, he actually studies well. I, the professor, was generous and gave him a good grade, but considering his attitude, I still gave him a failing grade."

Takaharu understood the flattery and went forward to pick up the associate professor's kettle: "Professor, I'll go get you some water."

The two idiots who failed the grade knelt down directly on the ground. Iori begged, "Please be flexible." Kohei: "Please give me an excellent grade."

Seeing the flattering Takaharu and the two people showing weakness, the associate professor couldn't help laughing, pointing at the two people kneeling down and said, "Then devote yourself to my research!!"

After leaving the office, the three people became more and more angry. Iori: "I am so angry, that associate professor."

Kohei: "He holds our handle and does whatever he wants."

Takaharu: "And let me call him professor..."

"But this laboratory is very popular, right?" Chisa remembered what the seniors said, "It is said that it is very beneficial for employment."

"Ah, that," Senior Shou remembered, "People from our laboratory are very popular in companies."

Senior with glasses: "After all, I have trained under that thing (associate professor)."

Several people understood it at once, Takaharu: 'Isn't this more powerful than the cattle and horses in the previous life? ’

Senior with glasses: “Okay, happy times are always short.”

Iori: “No, no, not happy at all.”

Senior Anzai: “What’s next——”

The seniors said in unison: “Just enjoy this hellscape with us.”

Takaharu and Kohei stayed in the lab to help because they were relatively good at computer skills.

Kohei quickly pressed the keyboard: “With such a large amount of data, it’s too difficult to input manually!?”

Takaharu looked back and forth between the two files: “Is there no way to scan documents here?!”

Senior Anzai also inputted data: “Then write a program!!”

Kohei: “But I’ve never written one before!?”

Takaharu: “I can’t write a program!”

Senior with glasses: “Then start learning now and find a way to import the data directly!!”

Takaharu was helpless because he couldn’t do three-threaded operations, looking at physical documents, electronic files, and inputting data into tables.

I took out a book that was almost worn out by my seniors and started reading it from the beginning. Seeing Takashi doing it, Kohei also learned it.

When there is a need, I can still learn something by specifically reading a single program. I also look for the programming that my seniors shared online and copy and paste it., Takaharu quickly compiled a program to transfer the data in the electronic document to the table, but the data in the physical document still had to be entered manually.

Takaharu almost forgot the time due to the repetitive work, and only remembered how much he had entered and how much was left to enter. The sound of the laboratory door opening woke Takaharu who was immersed in the input, and he looked back and saw Iori and Chisa who went to the laboratory to help.

The two sweaty men entered the room panting. Iori: "Finally, the experimental device was fixed."

Chisa: "Fortunately, it worked smoothly..."

Senior Anzai: "Oh——" Senior Glasses: "You guys worked hard."

Kohei: "We have just finished sorting out the data here."

Takaharu: "Don't worry too much about the remaining ones."

Senior Anzai looked around and didn't see Senior Shou, so he asked Iori and the others: "Where's Shou?"

Iori: "It seems that he went to the experiment right away."

Senior Glasses looked at the time and saw that it was already seven o'clock, so he said: "Then there will be results around eight o'clock."

Kohei: "Then what should we do before that?"

Iori: "There is other work..."

Before Iori finished speaking, he was interrupted by Senior Anzai, who stretched out his hand and said: "No."

Senior Glasses: "Wait a minute."

The two people's words made the laboratory quiet, and the sound of a car driving away came from outside the window.

Senior Anxi: "...did they leave?" Senior with glasses: "Yes."

Chisa was full of questions: "What left?"

Iori seemed to have guessed something: "The associate professor's car?"

Senior with glasses nodded: "Well, next--"

The seniors quickly took out the host, projector, and screen from various corners.

Then a large-screen game room appeared in front of them, and the seniors put all the books that blocked their view aside.

Senior with glasses: "It's our free time."

Senior Anzai: "How can we work without some changes?"

The three people watching were very excited. Kohei: "I can actually play games on such a big screen!!"

Takaharu: "I haven't played this game yet!!"

Iori confirmed again: "Is it okay?"

Senior with glasses took a can of beer: "As long as the professor leaves, this place is our world."

Senior Anzai took out three cans of beer from the refrigerator, "So, will you accompany us while we wait for the results of the experiment?!"

Iori and Kohei excitedly took the senior's hand and of beer, agreed, Takaharu patted the book that Kohei had just taken a bite of, and said, "Sorry, senior, I should leave soon."

Chisa also said, "Me too, I have to help my family tomorrow."

After being reminded, Senior Anxi remembered that Takaharu had said he would go home tomorrow, but still handed the can of beer in his hand to Takaharu: "Take it and drink it, quench your thirst."

Senior with glasses: "Thank you for coming to help, be careful on the road and pay attention to safety."

Takaharu and Chisa said goodbye to a few people and walked out. In the corridor, you can still hear the sound of Iori and the others playing games with the seniors.

Chisa looked towards the laboratory worriedly, and Takaharu only said, "I hope they are okay." Then he turned back without any nostalgia and called Chisa, "Chisa, let's go, we have to wait for the bus later."
