Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

"Anze, go home early today to pack your bags. You'll be heading to Shibuya Ward at noon, which is where the math competition is being held. The competition starts the day after tomorrow morning," the bald-headed homeroom teacher said with a smile.

"However, you don't need to bring too much. Just bring one or two changes of clothes. The school will provide other daily necessities."

"You don't need to bring any money, because the school will cover your accommodation and food for three days and two nights."

Listening to his homeroom teacher's words, An Zeliang suddenly remembered that the National Mathematics Competition was the day after tomorrow.

In the simulation, because the location of the math competition was quite far away, the participants stayed in Shibuya Ward for several days during the competition.

"I understand, I'll go back and prepare in a bit," An Zeliang replied.

"Yes, Anze, I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately, but... please do your best in this competition!"

"I will try my best."

...

After leaving the office, An Zeliang returned to the classroom and began packing his schoolbag.

After tidying up, I left the classroom directly.

The students in the class, seeing this, started discussing it, not understanding what was going on.

"What happened? Why did Anze leave? It seems like class hasn't even started yet."

"Did he get scolded by the teacher?"

"Huh? Even if you got scolded by the teacher, you shouldn't just leave school like that, right?"

"I think An Zeliang deserves it; who told him to be late every day?"

"I wouldn't say every day, but I'm late about four or five days a week."

"Huh? You're so late?"

"Judging from Anze's expression, he doesn't seem angry. There must be another reason."

"Don't make wild guesses out of jealousy."

"Exactly, Anze didn't arrive late on purpose. Maybe he was just exercising, because he's not only good at studying, but also at sports! Have you forgotten about the sports festival?"

The students were talking a lot.

Saya, sitting at the back of the table, looked towards the door, her hands clenched slightly on the table, and a look of worry appeared in her eyes.

Anze...

Leaving school.

An Zeliang first went to a convenience store and ate a bento box. After he finished eating, he went home and put together a set of clothes.

He probably set off after the midday classes ended, so Anze Liang arrived at school right on time.

He arrived just as he was about to set off.

Several teachers led the math competition teams, including Mr. Ichigaya, Mr. Hayano, and a middle-aged male teacher from another class whom I didn't recognize. He wore glasses and also looked like a math teacher.

There were three students from our school participating in the math competition: An Zeliang, and a bespectacled man who looked very aloof and was holding an Olympiad math book.

The last one is Rin Hoshimiya.

Rin Hoshimiya had also participated in the competition in the simulation, so Ryo Anzawa wasn't surprised. However, he still pretended to be surprised on the surface, saying, "Rin Hoshimiya is participating in the math competition too?"

“The school couldn’t find any other suitable people, I was just filling in.” Hoshimiya Rin said calmly.

"Hoshimiya-kun is really modest."

"Unlike Anze, who can consistently keep his scores at an ideal level."

As the two were talking, the bespectacled man finished speaking with his teacher and walked over to them with a cold expression, taking the initiative to strike up a conversation.

"I hope you won't hold me back; this competition is very important to me."

"Once we get past the group stage, you can do whatever you want."

After saying this seriously, the bespectacled man turned around and sat alone on a bench, starting to look through his books and study advanced mathematics on his own.

An Zeliang raised an eyebrow, and at this moment, Xing Gonglin calmly introduced, "His name is Kuroda Shin. He is the top student in the school. When you were controlling your scores, he was always the first in the grade. His total score in the exam a few days ago was only a few points less than yours."

"Kuroda Shin is a very good student, but he has some serious personality flaws. I heard that he often mocks those who don't study after class."

Rin Hoshimiya paused for a moment, then summarized, "He will be a good teammate in the group stage, and a strong opponent in the individual competition."

"What a 'king of currying favor'."

An Zeliang muttered a silent complaint.

Looking at Kuroda Shin, memories suddenly surfaced in his mind.

He unexpectedly discovered that this guy was the same guy from the simulation who had his girlfriend stolen by his own simulated personality, and then cried and begged for mercy, losing all interest in the competition.

It's amazing that someone with this kind of personality can find a girlfriend... Well, that makes sense. When the simulated personality was talking to the other person's girlfriend, she was lying in the simulated personality's arms and said that she was only with Kuroda-kun so that he would tutor her for free.

In some ways, Kuroda is really quite pitiful.

"Alright, everyone, it's time to get on the bus," Mr. Hayano said with a smile as he walked over.

Hayano Hoshiko is the teacher in charge of the students' daily life this time.

On the bus, Hayano Hoshiko tried to talk to Yasuzawa Ryo several times, but for some reason, she hesitated to speak.

After driving for several hours, the car arrived at the hotel where the examinees would be staying.

Under Ms. Hayano's arrangement, the students found their own rooms.

Room 306.

An Zeliang was making his bed when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Anze Liang opened the door, and standing in the doorway was Hoshimiya Rin.

"Hoshimiya-san? Is there something you need?" Anze Liang said, stepping aside to invite her into the house.

Hoshimiya Rin didn't come in, but said, "I just saw that this hotel has a hot spring. Anze-kun, would you like to go soak in the hot spring and relax?"

"spa?"

An Zeliang raised an eyebrow.

"The kind where men and women bathe together?"

Chapter 106 104:

One of the unique features of Japan is its mixed-gender hot springs.

After all, Tokyo is too hot.

In summary, soaking in hot springs can promote blood circulation, relieve negative emotions, and the hot springs also contain a variety of trace elements, which are also very beneficial to the skin and body.

Therefore, Yasuzawa Ryo naturally did not refuse the invitation extended by Hoshimiya Rin.

Moreover, he had never tried mixed-gender bathing before, even after all this time he had been in this world.

With anticipation in his heart, An Zeliang went into the changing room and changed into his swimsuit first.

Some people bring their own swimsuits, while others are provided by the hotel.

An Zeliang didn't bring a swimsuit, so he changed into the swimming trunks provided by the hotel and didn't wear any clothes on his upper body.

Since it's a hot spring, the less you wear, the better, and letting your skin soak in the water is the key.

As Anze Liang walked out of the changing room, Xing Gong Lin also came out, and immediately caught his eye.

The black two-piece swimsuit revealed most of her fair skin, and Hoshimiya Rin wore a sapphire pendant around her fair and smooth neck, which was unique and exquisite. She casually untied her bath towel, exposing her fair and alluring perfect legs to the public eye.

Rin Hoshimiya's swimsuit was clearly not provided by the hotel, but rather prepared in advance by herself.

“Number Three, it seems you didn’t lie to Nakano.” Hoshimiya Rin’s gaze lingered on Ansawa Ryo’s abdomen.

He has abs, and his chest muscles are also exceptionally strong, making him very attractive.

"Such muscle definition can only be achieved through long-term training."

Upon hearing this, An Zeliang couldn't help but smile: "So, Hoshimiya-kun didn't believe what I said at first?"

Hoshimiya Rin turned around, not answering the question, but saying, "It's time to go to the hot springs, there might not be any seats left."

An Zeliang shook his head and smiled helplessly, without asking any further questions.

The two arrived at the hot spring area together.

However, to Anze Liang's dismay, although it was a mixed-gender hot spring... everyone was not completely naked; they were all wearing swimsuits, and some were even completely covered up.

"As expected, Japanese anime is all lies," Anze Liang thought to himself.

Although it was expected, it is still a pity.

then.

Led by Hoshimiya Rin, the two arrived at a small hot spring pool.

"The hotel has 11 hot spring pools of various sizes, and they are all made of natural water, so soaking in them regularly is good for your health."

As Hoshimiya Rin tested the water temperature with her feet, she calmly described the hotel's hot spring. She seemed quite familiar with the hotel, having brought her own swimsuit beforehand.

Moreover, if Hoshimiya Rin hadn't brought him here, Anze Ryo wouldn't have known that this hotel also offered hot spring services.

Kuroda Kokoro, Hayano-sensei, and the other teachers didn't come to the hot spring. Perhaps they didn't know the hot spring existed, or maybe they just didn't like hot springs...?

An Zeliang tested the water temperature and then slowly stepped into it until he was completely inside.

The water enveloped his entire body, and the warmth made him shiver. A wave of comfort washed over him, and he felt completely relaxed, his previous fatigue vanishing.

"It's so comfortable."

An Zeliang closed his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and sighed sincerely.

Hot springs are so refreshing.

现在

It was evening, a time for relaxation, and quite a few people had come to the hotel's hot springs.

Soaking in hot springs is considered an essential relaxation activity for Japanese people, and many hotel guests come to the hot springs to relax in the evenings.
