Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

That means getting first place in this midterm exam!

At that time, no one can ignore the fact that the student is ranked first in the academic year.

Even Rika Maejima is the same!

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!!!

Taku Makawa had never realized he was so smart!

After all, he's already in the top five in his class. With a little effort, getting first place would be a piece of cake.

By then, his academic excellence will be on par with that of Shinobu Shiro, who is considered the most handsome.

Add to that his decent looks, and it's like one plus one equals more than three!

He could easily crush Shinobu Kaede.

At that time, Rika Maejima will surely finally notice how dazzling she is!

Hahahaha!

Taku Makawa simply thought he was a genius.

I couldn't resist taking out my phone immediately and posting a tweet on X.

Walking alone in a dark corner, silently enduring the torment of heartbreak, who can understand the bitterness in my heart?

Even though it's pouring rain now, the clouds will eventually part and the sun will eventually come out.

Those who once ignored me will now only be able to look up to me, who is as great as the sun!

What I have lost, I will surely regain!

After posting his emotionally charged writings, Taku Makawa felt incredibly energetic and full of vitality!

I even thought about going back to study hard right away!

------

After walking down the long slope covered with cherry blossoms.

Rika Maejima bid farewell to Hakufuu Kamishiro.

Meanwhile, Yuki Takahara, standing to the side, bowed and invited:

"Good afternoon, Miss Pear Blossom."

"Based on your situation, I have prepared all the learning materials for you."

"Now, would you like to ask if you need to go back to study first, or do you have other plans?"

Rika Maejima's beautiful eyes were filled with unwavering determination:

"I want to go home and study hard!"

Yuki Takahara's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile:

"Yes, I understand."

"Then please get in the car, Miss."

After Maejima Rika was seated.

Yuki Takahara then drove towards Shibuya, intending to go home.

While in the car, Yuuki Takahara curiously asked Rika Maejima about her day:

"Miss Rika, you just got out of school with Kamishiro-kun. Did you talk about anything?"

Rika Maejima told Yuki Takahara what had just happened.

"Sister Yuki, do you think I have a chance?"

Yuuki Takahara did not answer immediately, but asked again:

"Miss Rika, have you told Kamishiro-kun about our family situation?"

Rika Maejima shook her head:

"No."

Yuki Takahara pondered for a moment and said:

"That's good. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a chance."

As if reading Yuuki Takahara's mind, Rika Maejima pouted and retorted:

"Yuki-nee, you don't mean for me to tell Kamishiro-kun that my family is very rich, so that he'll be interested in my family's situation, right?"

"I think that's too materialistic, I don't like it."

I prefer a purer kind of love!

Yuki Takahara looked stunned, then chuckled softly.

"While that's possible, I don't want the young lady to fall for a gold-digging guy."

"What I mean is that if the young lady doesn't mention her family background, she'll actually have a better chance."

Rika Maejima blinked her beautiful eyes and asked curiously:

"Is that so"

Yuki Takahara nodded and smiled:

"Yes, unless the guy is looking to marry into your family or is just after your money, he will generally feel a lot of pressure in this situation."

"So it's better if you don't say anything than if you do."

"Moreover, Kamishiro-kun has clearly stated that he would like intelligent girls."

"If you, Miss Rika, can achieve a top-ten ranking in your grade and continue to relentlessly pursue Kamishiro-kun, then I think there are few girls in the school who can compare to you."

"Because you are beautiful, devoted, and academically excellent, how many girls in the top ten can compare to you?"

"Given that it's easier for a man to pursue a woman than for a woman to pursue a man, if all the conditions are met, then you might only need a trigger to start dating."

Rika Maejima's eyes immediately lit up:

"I see. So, in other words, my grades need to improve no matter what?"

Yuki Takahara chuckled and replied, "Yes."

"I understand! From today onwards, I will definitely study even harder and aim to be in the top ten of my grade!" Maejima Rika suddenly felt a surge of energy!

Yuki Takahara couldn't help but chuckle when she saw Rika Maejima like that.

I thought that young girls in love are so cute and innocent.

She really had to thank Shirokaze Kamishiro.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to convince the young lady to study hard.

But if the young lady studies so hard, the president and his wife will definitely notice something is wrong.

After all, the young lady never liked studying before, so it's impossible for her to suddenly like it.

They will surely guess what happened and will directly ask the young lady what's going on.

Um.

Even if I really don't want to tell anyone about it, it probably won't make any difference.

The young lady is just not good at keeping secrets; those two can easily trick her into revealing everything.

At that time, Takahara Maki could guess that the two of them would have a look of being both amused and exasperated.

After all, it had been so many years since they had managed to persuade their daughter to study, and now a boy had just said a few words to her and she had become a bright young girl, starting to study hard and persevere. It was quite difficult to manage.

Chapter 79 Wall Slam and Kiss!

2024-07-14

A thousand-year-old shopping street.

Shiro Kaede saw that there were still about ten minutes left before he had to go to work.

He wasn't in a rush to go to work today.

Instead, I plan to wander around the area.

After all, he's been working at the Millennium Shopping Street for a while now.

But unlike the other students, they didn't get to explore the area properly.

To be honest, he had no idea what was there.

Since it's not time to go to work yet, there's no rush.

Anyway, my work hours are fixed every day.

Even if you arrive a few minutes early, you won't get extra pay.

then.

Shiro Shiro began to stroll down the street.

Along the way, he also saw quite a few interesting shops.

For example, the most classic shops include claw machine arcades, secondhand stores, electronics stores, clothing stores, and so on.

But compared to these, the most numerous are still restaurants.

Because the area here is very close to residential areas, office areas and schools.

Most people in the neighborhood pass through this thousand-year-old shopping street before heading home after school or get off work.

This results in a very high volume of people coming and going here.

As Shiro Kaede walked, he suddenly saw a small alley with several shops inside.

Of these, only the takoyaki shop and the coffee shop are still open.

Although there were still some customers in the other shops, there were significantly fewer customers compared to other places.

Bai Feng noticed that this location was already at the end of the shopping street.
