Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Erina Kamishiro's looks are so stunning that she could be considered a school beauty in any school.

Chapter 3: The stepsister who acts two different ways in public and in private!

2024-07-14

Tokyo has a large and complex subway system that is operated by multiple operators.

These include Tokyo Metro, Toei Metro, JR East, Odakyu Railway, Keio Railway, Seibu Railway, Tokyu Railway, and others.

Each of these subway lines also comes in different speed types.

Depending on their purchasing power, people have different choices.

Express trains, fast trains, local express trains, and ordinary trains.

Sometimes, it's common to have to switch subway lines after only one or two stops.

Most tourists visiting Japan find themselves overwhelmed and confused by the various subway lines on their first ride.

But for locals who have lived in Tokyo for many years, these are just commonplace occurrences.

Shiro Shiro used his transportation card to pass through the fare gate and enter the subway station.

He followed slowly behind Erina, and the two remained silent, keeping their distance from each other.

Not a moment.

The two of them arrived at the platform and waited for the subway to arrive.

Modern technology is very advanced.

The subway arrival time displayed on the phone is generally not much different from the actual arrival time.

Shiro Shiro opened his phone and clicked on the map app.

Note that the subway will arrive in three minutes.

The journey from Shibuya to Hibiya Station takes about 20 minutes.

After getting off the subway, it takes about five minutes to walk to the private Xiujin Academy.

Overall, the journey from home to school is expected to take less than 30 minutes.

It's not exactly close, but rather a normal commute time.

It's around 7:30 now, and school starts at 8:30.

All things considered, we still have some surplus.

Just as Shiro was deep in thought, Erina quietly approached him, as if she wanted to say something.

After glancing around and finding that no one was paying attention,

She didn't look directly at Bai Feng, but looked around awkwardly and muttered to herself.

"This is the first time we've attended the same school."

"Um, after you get to school, don't go around telling everyone that we're siblings. I'm afraid it will be too much trouble to explain our relationship."

Shiro Kaede nodded lightly: "Don't worry, I find it troublesome too."

Upon hearing this, Erina let out a soft snort and fell silent.

The two were silent for a while.

Erina secretly turned her head to steal a glance at Bai Feng.

Upon seeing his handsome profile and calm eyes, she was filled with a myriad of inexplicable questions.

I've noticed that Bai Feng seems to have changed quite a bit lately.

He used to look darker.

And he wasn't as handsome back then as he is now, so how come he looks better and better now?

Could it be because I've been exercising lately?

Or maybe I've just gotten used to it?

It’s weird.

Suddenly, a noisy commotion of students came from the surrounding area.

Upon hearing this, Erina immediately moved away from Bai Feng's side like a frightened chick.

Bai Feng noticed that the students were wearing the same school uniforms as the two of them.

They must be from the same school.

After looking around, Bai Feng noticed that he didn't recognize any of them, so he didn't pay them any more attention.

And at this time.

When the female students noticed Erina, they were all overjoyed and immediately went up to greet her.

"Ah, isn't this Erina? You also attend this private school, Shujin?"

"What a coincidence! We're from the same high school too!"

"I didn't expect you to go to this school too! That's great! We can go to school together from now on!"

Erina Kamishiro, no longer the spoiled brat she once was, now acted like a well-behaved girl, happily holding their hands and softly laughing as she replied, "Oh, so you're from the same school too."

The subway train gradually approached the platform from afar.

People lined up in an orderly fashion at the platform.

Bai Feng stood on one side, while Erina and the other students stood on the other side.

After the subway arrives at the station, the gas valves automatically activate, and the doors open one by one.

First down, then up.

Bai Feng followed the group inside. The subway seats were already full, so he had to find a less crowded spot to wait.

On his opposite side, Erina and other girls dressed in the school uniform were excitedly discussing various things.

Not a moment.

The subway slowly started moving.

The carriage was filled with soft light and a gentle breeze.

The scenery outside the window flashed by quickly, and in the gentle breeze, Shiro Kaede's hair seemed to be gently blown about.

His hair was incredibly smooth, each strand like flowing water, light and airy.

A gentle breeze stirred, and her smooth hair danced in the air, creating an elegant and natural beauty.

Sunlight streamed through the window, falling on his hair and adding a golden glow to its deep black color.

The breeze not only ruffled his hair but also caressed his face, as if draping the whole scene in a dreamy veil.

Many passing passengers turned their heads, attracted by his handsome and refined appearance.

Even the female students next to Erina did the same; they would occasionally glance shyly at Bai Feng and whisper among themselves.

"Hey, did you guys see that person wearing a school uniform?"

"They all wear the same school uniform as us from the private Soojin School."

"Hey Ya Bai, this guy's really handsome, should we go up and ask for his contact information?"

"I think it's okay!"

"+1!"

"Erina, what do you think?"

That's her brother! Are you suggesting she go ask her brother for his contact information?

Erina looked a little embarrassed, her lips twitching: "Haha. Let's not. It would be awkward if I were rejected and we ran into each other at school."

The girls suddenly realized.

"That's right."

"Erina really knows what she's doing."

"Indeed, if I were rejected, I'm afraid I'd be too embarrassed to take this subway again."

The quiet conversations among girls in high school are a common sight on the subway, and everyone is used to it.

Shiro Kaede saw that there was still a lot of time left.

Being idle is also idle.

Instead of studying hard, try to upgrade your student career as soon as possible!

So he took out a math textbook he bought from the bookstore and started giving the students career experience points.

[You've studied diligently for a while; Student Professional Experience +1!]

[You've studied diligently for a while; Student Professional Experience +1!]

[You have studied diligently for a period of time; Student Professional Experience +1!]

After more than ten minutes of learning, the tram was nearing its stop.

As Shiro Kaede was about to get off the bus, she put the books she was holding back into her bag.

I also checked how much experience I still needed to upgrade my student profession to LV4.

Occupation: Student

【Level: 3】

[Experience: 379/400]

I'm about 20 points away from leveling up, looks like I'll be moving up to the next level soon.

Bai Feng had a vague feeling that he might gain some skills after upgrading to LV4.
