Tokyo Tutor: Starting with My Ex-Girlfriend's Sister

Chapter 53: The Exhausted Himeno Saki

[1.45 million yen deposited into account]

Early in the morning, Yamazaki Kazuka was overjoyed to see the bank's notification that his money had been deposited into his account.

"Wafu, what's making you so happy?"

Keiko Inoue placed a bowl of fragrant rice porridge in front of Kazuka Yamazaki.

"Look, Sister Keiko, this is the salary sent by the Himeno family."

"How come there's so much money?"

Keiko Inoue immediately noticed that something was wrong with Kazufu Yamazaki's salary.

"Saki passed the exam this time, and Mrs. Himeno was very happy, so she gave me another bonus."

As they were talking, Himeno's assistant sent the pay details to Yamazaki Kazuka's phone.

"That's amazing, Kaze! You've made so much money all at once!"

"It's all thanks to you, Sister Huizi, for introducing me to this job."

"Have you considered getting a new bank card? Jingang Bank is having a promotion right now."

Keiko Inoue's tone was somewhat like that of a bank teller.

"Doesn't Io Bank require that customers have a minimum savings balance of one million yen?"

"Yes, because Jingang Bank's interest rates are very high. However, they recently relaxed the restrictions, and now you can open an account as freely as other banks. The bank will determine the interest rate based on the amount of money you save."

"Even so, Jingang Bank's interest rates are still higher than those of ordinary banks."

Upon hearing this, Yamazaki Kazuka suddenly remembered something.

When she was in high school, Himeno Natsuki asked about her living expenses and said that if she didn't have enough, she could help her out, but she would have to exchange her own grain rations for it.

During their conversation, Himeno Natsuki suddenly said something like this.

[Hey, if you ever go abroad, never deposit your money in Jingang Bank.]

Recalling those words, Yamazaki Kazukaze politely declined Inoue Keiko's suggestion.

"I'm not interested in that interest rate; I prefer to keep my money in a familiar bank."

"I knew you'd answer that way. Most people are wary of unfamiliar things, let alone banks."

"Many Japanese people may never have any dealings with Io Bank unless they do international business or study or travel abroad."

"I was quite surprised when the uncles suddenly decided to open their services to the public this time. What made them change their attitude so drastically? Before, they had always insisted on making it a bank for the elite."

"Never mind. Let's not talk about this anymore. I have something else I'd like to ask you, Kaze."

Keiko Inoue blushed, seemingly a little embarrassed to speak.

"Sister Huizi, you tell me."

"I have a high school reunion this weekend evening. Could you please be my boyfriend, Kaze?"

Keiko Inoue crossed her arms, looking embarrassed.

"Sister Huizi, I'm your boyfriend."

"My sister knows, but this is just an internship."

"Sister Huizi, I'll go with you."

"Uh-huh."

Keiko Inoue nodded with a satisfied expression.

"Which restaurant is it?"

Dragonstone Restaurant.

"This restaurant is very famous. It's a members-only restaurant. Even the most important people need to make a reservation before dining there, right?"

"Yes. After graduating from high school, everyone else achieved success in their careers, but I accomplished nothing. If I don't even have a boyfriend, it would be such a failure."

Keiko Inoue smiled sheepishly.

Yamazaki Kazuka disagreed with this, saying that based on his past life experience, people who were not doing well would never attend any class reunions.

"Well then, Kaze, do your best today too!"

"Thank you, Sister Huizi."

After parting ways with Keiko Inoue in the car, Kazuka Yamazaki entered the Himeno residence, where Saki Himeno and Aoi Uesugi, as usual, greeted him at the door.

"It's so hot outside, you don't need to greet me outside."

Although it was not yet nine o'clock, the sun in the sky was like a furnace, making it difficult for people to lift their heads.

"We want to see Professor Yamazaki as soon as possible."

"Welcoming the teacher at the door is our etiquette."

The two walked happily beside Yamazaki Kaze and entered the Himeno residence together.

"Mr. Yamazaki, what would you like to drink?"

The maid working in the Himeno family's kitchen today is Chiba Masazuki. She is wearing a summer maid's skirt, which seems a bit ill-fitting, and the short skirt looks like it could easily expose her.

"Just prepare a cup of green tea for me, enough to soothe my throat."

"it is good."

Chiba Masatsuki immediately returned to work at the restaurant, while Yamazaki Kazukazu led the two students upstairs to begin today's lesson.

"Saki, what's wrong with you today?"

Yamazaki Kazuka tapped on the table, reminding the somewhat dazed Himeno Saki.

"Mr. Yamazaki, I..."

Himeno Saki looked somewhat tired, but unlike the initial fatigue caused by not wanting to study, she now seemed tired due to a lack of energy.

You've worked hard these past few days.

Yamazaki Kazuka recalled that last night, after playing two games, Himeno Saki suddenly said that her hands were tired and she was not in the right state of mind, and then she hurriedly logged off.

Could it be because of the continuous high-intensity studying these past few days?

Faced with Yamazaki Kazuka's concerned gaze, Himeno Saki lowered her head, not daring to look at Yamazaki Kazuka, her face turning even redder.

I dare not say that ever since I learned water magic while taking a shower last night, I have been completely hooked.

It started three times while I was showering, and then four more times before I went to bed.

Uesugi Aoi, who had been observing silently from the side, smiled as if she understood but not quite.

Saki Ryo spent too much time in the bathroom yesterday, which already made Uesugi Aoi a little strange.

When I got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, I saw Himeno Saki walking out of the bathroom with a very strange expression on her face.

Why is that? There's only one answer.

"Yes, teacher. I haven't been getting enough rest these past few days."

"Starting today, Saki, you don't need to work overtime or study at night anymore. Get some rest and recharge."

"Yes, teacher, I will remember that."

Himeno Saki glanced at her fingers out of the corner of her eye.

"Well then, teacher, since Saki is quite tired today, please explain the problems to me more."

Having roughly guessed what had happened, Uesugi Aoi took the opportunity to sit down next to Yamazaki Kazukaze. Himeno Saki Ryo looked displeased upon seeing this.

"Don't try to take the teacher's time from me, this is my time."

"Sakuryo, since you're not feeling well, you should rest."

"I have the strength."

Himeno Saki also sat down next to Yamazaki Kazufu, clearly not wanting to be outdone.

"Alright, spread out a bit, I'm going to give you a lesson."

Yamazaki Kazuka sighed.

"Oh, right, Mr. Yamazaki. There's something you absolutely mustn't forget."

Himeno Saki blinked.

"What's wrong?"

"Of course it's a reward after the exam. I heard from Aoi yesterday that she has already given out all the rewards."

"Hmph."

Kui raised her head triumphantly.
