I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

It burns very quickly, and is gone in about a minute.

Dissatisfied with the situation, Eriri urged them to continue, and then followed Aki Tomoya.

"so beautiful……"

It wasn't anything special; it was just fireworks used for casual play, but Eriri thought it was even better than the fireworks at the fireworks festival.

Aki Tomoya looked up and noticed the fascination in Eriri's eyes, which were reflecting the glow of the fireworks, and he smiled too.

They didn't stay on the shore for too long. After using up all the fireworks they had bought and cleaning up the trash, the two headed back.

"It feels like I've done all the things I never did as a child!"

As if making up for many regrets, Eriri's excitement hasn't subsided yet.

"As expected, I still..."

Eriri looked down at her feet, hesitant to speak.

"what happened?"

"It's time to go back!"

Chapter 223 Once there is one, there will be two.

“huhuhuhu~”

Eriri was at home, holding her face in her hands, grinning foolishly at something.

Sawamura Sayuri, who was secretly observing, recorded her daughter's current silly appearance.

"If there's a first time, there will be a second time."

Sawamura Sayuri walked up to Eriri and whispered in her ear.

Eriri, who was looking at her phone, was startled by her mother and looked in a panic at Sayuri Sawamura, who had a mischievous grin on her face.

"...The new phone wallpaper is nice!"

If I remember correctly, that was a photo of the two of them taken in Shiina Town.

It has already been set as the phone's home screen, which made Sayuri Sawamura feel emotional.

Several days have passed since that day, but my daughter is still reminiscing about it.

"The sweet taste of love!"

Sawamura Sayuri cupped her face in her hands, her face, which was almost identical to Eriri's, bearing an ambiguous expression.

On the 21st, she also took many photos from great angles.

It records my daughter's wonderful day, capturing her sweetness in that moment.

Furthermore, Sayuri Sawamura wasn't afraid to tell Eriri about this, because she was confident that after her daughter saw the photos she had taken for them, the other party would beg her to give her the photos exactly as they were.

But let's leave it for now. We can't let this little girl get too cocky. We need to take it easy.

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Eriri looked at her mother with embarrassment and anger.

"Isn't going on a date good?"

"It's not a date!"

"So that's even better than dating?"

"...You go out first!"

Eriri pushed Sayuri Sawamura to drive her out of the room, afraid that her blushing face would be seen by the other girl and she would be teased again.

"School starts soon..."

"I see!"

Summer vacation is coming to an end, and I'll be going back to university in a few days.

However, before the summer vacation ended, Eriri had already done what she wanted to do.

Eriri didn't have many regrets this summer.

What is Tomoya doing right now?

Eriri thought to herself.

However, at this moment, Aki Tomoya had no time to think about anything else.

I'll continue my part-time job at UDI as usual, and I also need to think about how to manage my time after the semester starts.

Because the director, Yasuo Kamikura, specifically asked him if he wanted to continue working part-time at UDI if he had time after the summer vacation.

Of course, since it's not a holiday, the part-time hours will be significantly reduced compared to the summer vacation, but if he's willing, he can continue to help out at UDI, and the research institute will continue to welcome him and pay him his salary as usual.

"If I have time, I'd still be happy to come to UDI to help out."

In response, Aki Tomoya gave the same answer to the director.

You can come here when you have time. You can go into the dissection room and the laboratory, and you can get a salary of 1,000 yen per hour.

Thinking about it this way, it's not bad.

Moreover, unlike during summer vacation, I won't be here every day. When I don't have classes, I can come here to clock in, go into the anatomy room and laboratory as usual, and go home in the evening.

"So, Aki-kun will continue working part-time at UDI?"

Mikoto Misumi seemed to be in a good mood after learning about this.

On one hand, I admire this guy; on the other hand, it's really great to have someone to help me.

During the summer vacation, although Aki Tomoya was a member of the Nakado class, he still helped the Misumi class a lot when he had free time.

The two students in Misumi's class also liked him as much as Makoto Sakamoto did.

"But it's impossible to come every weekday like during summer vacation, maybe two or three days a week?"

After all, there are many other things to do after school starts, and even when there are no classes, there's no guarantee that nothing will happen.

If it's not a holiday, and it's a week, even if Aki Tomoya wanted to come, he would only come to UDI for three days at most.

"I always feel like you, as a part-time worker, have it much easier than us full-time employees. You can come whenever you want and leave on time. I'm so envious!"

At this moment, Tokai Rin Yuko said something.

Is working at UDI very tough?

That's for sure, because while Aki Tomoya is nominally the recorder for the Nakado class, he also helps out when the Misumi class needs assistance.

This is under the condition that there is no conflict.

However, aside from the time spent recording data in the anatomy room, the time spent in the laboratory with the two shifts of clinical surrogacy technicians was also considerable.

He didn't actually need to go to the lab, but he went anyway, which is why it looked so arduous.

If Aki Tomoya himself were to say it, he could enter the lab if he wanted to. Not to mention the one in Misumi's class, Sakamoto Makoto from Nakado's class is a senior with more than 20 years of experience.

He can just walk into the lab, and there's someone there to guide him and explain the pathological manifestations. He gets paid to be taught, so why would he complain?

Anyway, he felt that working at UDI was more meaningful than becoming a tutor.

"Anyway, it's great that Aki-kun can stay and continue his part-time job!"

After summer vacation ends, the happiest person is Makoto Sakamoto from the Nakado class, who will not really say goodbye to Tomoya Aki.

With Aki Tomoya joining the project, his pressure has been greatly reduced.

Among those who partnered with the Nakado group, Makoto Sakamoto has been one of the longest-lasting.

"The timing is so good, why don't we take this opportunity and have Aki-kun come to our class!"

Tokai Rin Yuko is trying to steal someone else's boyfriend again.

"Donghailin!!!"

Makoto Sakamoto stood up.

"Don't lay a hand on An Yi from our class!!!"

Already used to it.

The daily routine of this group of forensic scientists.

Aki Tomoya, who was already used to this, acted as if he was detached from the matter and knew nothing, even though he was at the center of the dispute.

He was more concerned about Suzutani's father's case than the daily bickering between the two clinical forensic technicians.

The lawsuit has already begun; it's not just a lawsuit against Suzuya's father, but also against the hospital.

The lawsuit is only just beginning, but it's already fraught with tension.

"I won't be abandoned by the hospital, but I can forget about becoming the next head of surgery..."

This is the information that Aki Tomoya currently has.
