However, even if he eventually becomes a god, it won't matter if Takanashi doesn't want to.
He had many random thoughts, his mind wandering everywhere.
As Qingkong emerged from the restroom, she watched Amamiya Kazuki carry the cat upstairs, then sat down beside him and whispered, "What's wrong?"
Kotegawa snapped out of his daze, hugged the girl, and rubbed his cheek against hers: "Glasses-kun lent me a game disc earlier, let's play together tonight."
"A game disc?" Qingkong was surprised. "Is it a game you're interested in?"
She had never seen Kotegawa play games before.
Kotegawa shook his head: "It seems like it could be watched as an anime."
"Oh?" Qingkong's eyes held a thoughtful look: "A game that can be viewed as an anime... is it a galga?"
"I think so? It's probably a role-playing game like a catgirl maid cafe." Kotegawa recalled the game's description.
"Oh, there must be some Black Scorpion inside, right?" Qingkong's gaze was very calm.
"But there's no harm in it, is there?" Kotegawa kissed her cherry lips.
Qingkong twisted her body, held her breath slightly, and whispered, "School starts tomorrow."
Suddenly, Yuka and Takanashi's voices came from the doorway. Qingkong hurriedly stood up, picked up the empty plate on the coffee table, and rushed to the kitchen.
Kotekawa shook his trouser leg and looked toward the door.
Gu Youjia and Takanashi returned together.
The latter looked embarrassed and said, "Sorry, I accidentally left my phone here."
"A cell phone?" Kotegawa took out his cell phone and dialed her number. A few seconds later, a series of ringtones sounded from the pile of game consoles.
"Found it!" Takanashi quickly walked over, bent down to pick it up, looked at the caller ID on his phone, and smiled, "Thanks!"
Kotegawa hung up the phone first and said to her, "It's nothing, no need to be so polite."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Takanashi waved and jogged away from the living room.
Jia saw her off from behind.
A few minutes later, the sound of locking the front door came from outside. Youjia entered the foyer, locked the foyer door again, walked into the living room, and looked at him with some doubt, saying, "I feel like Hana is acting strange lately."
Kotegawa paused for a moment and said, "He's probably still struggling with the idea of studying abroad."
"That's not it!" Yuka sat down on the single sofa next to her, hugging a cushion, and continued, "What I mean is that her attitude towards you seems a little strange, haven't you noticed? She talks to you like she did when you first met, very polite, and unwilling to say much... Kotegawa, did you do something to her?"
The clear sky in the kitchen also turned its gaze over.
Kotegawa shook his head: "I didn't do anything excessive to her."
He never forced anyone around him to do anything they disliked or found offensive.
Moreover, he has never actively tried to influence the thoughts of those around him.
He is indeed selfish, but not selfish either; at least he wouldn't hurt anyone for his own selfish desires.
“That’s strange…” Yujia didn’t doubt his words at all. After all, they had been together for almost a year. Her impression of Kotekawa had always been that he was gentle and kind, good-tempered and highly skilled. Not to mention anything else, she had never seen Qingkong angry, let alone cry, or even feel a little wronged in the past year.
“At first, she didn’t even tell you about studying abroad. And lately, when we occasionally talk about you in the group chat, she doesn’t participate…” Youjia scratched her head: “That’s so strange, what’s wrong with Huawu?”
"Yeah, what's wrong with her?" Kotegawa sighed.
He really wanted to know what Takanashi was thinking.
Should I stay here or go study abroad?
“Kotegawa…” Yuka looked at him and tentatively asked, “If Hanamai really leaves, won’t you feel bad for her?”
"Of course!" Kotegawa said without any hesitation, "I don't have many friends, just a handful, and I cherish each and every one of them."
“Well, that makes sense.” Yujia nodded, her face turning worried. “Actually, I don’t want Hana to leave either, but this could be a precious opportunity for her, so it’s hard to say.”
Qingkong, who had just started steaming rice, came over and said quietly, "Hawai said that the man her grandfather introduced a few days ago is pursuing Teacher Qianzi and wants to start a new family with her. If it really works out, then Hanai should stay."
“Yes, yes, yes!” Yujia nodded quickly: “And they also brought a child with them, a boy who is a year older than us. But it seems that he is also preparing to study abroad. Huawu’s grandfather even said that if she really chooses to study abroad, maybe that boy can take care of her more.”
Kotegawa was taken aback by his words, and narrowed his eyes, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. He said softly, "And then?"
"And then? That's it!" Yujia shrugged. "On New Year's Day, Ms. Chiko and Hanamai went home overnight, so they haven't met yet. But the man's side keeps calling Ms. Chiko, begging to meet her. Ms. Chiko is so annoyed."
Qingkong looked at Kotegawa and asked, "What do you think about this?"
Kotegawa gently closed his eyes, suppressing the various emotions in his heart, and after a long while said, "I will go and have a good talk with her."
Chapter Seventy-Seven: I strongly advise against it...
Although Kotegawa said that, after dinner, he went straight to the quiet room on the second floor.
Even if he could actually interfere with Takanashi's choice, Takanashi might still choose to stay if she had a strong desire to.
But this might not be a good choice for tsunamis?
She also has her own dreams.
Her future shouldn't be interfered with by him too much, at least not now. No matter how skilled he is, that shouldn't be a reason for him to do whatever he wants.
Many things should be considered separately... Besides, Takanashi seems to be getting more and more distant from him, and perhaps that's her answer.
That night, he chose to isolate himself.
The next morning, after finishing his boxing practice in the yard and feeling refreshed, he stepped back into the living room. However, when he saw the kitten, who had also changed into its school uniform, he suddenly realized that he would have to take the little one to kindergarten every day from now on.
The kitten was very perceptive to the gaze directed at her and immediately guessed what he was thinking. She said directly, "I already spoke with the school teachers yesterday, and the school bus will be passing through here for a while."
She emphasized in her tone that she wouldn't cause too much trouble.
Kotegawa picked up two keys from the cabinet next to him and handed them to her, saying, "We finish class at 3:30 in the afternoon. If you get out of school early, stay home and don't wander around."
He couldn't interfere at other times, but during the two months they were staying at his house, they should stay put and not cause any trouble.
"Yes." Amamiya Kazuki accepted it with both hands.
After the group finished breakfast and tidied up, the kindergarten school bus happened to arrive.
The three watched the kitten get into the car, then went out and headed towards the school. Birdsong Flower Dance was already waiting for them at their doorstep.
Kotegawa looked at her silently, and when she looked at him, he nodded and said good morning.
There was neither indifference nor enthusiasm, just a simple "good morning."
Kotori Hanamai responded, then stood to Yuka's side, took out her phone, and showed them the cat photos she had taken yesterday.
However, when they passed the intersection of the commercial street, they unexpectedly encountered a bespectacled man yawning.
Kotegawa and the three girls turned their heads at the same time, all somewhat surprised.
This kid hasn't been to school with them for over a semester.
The bespectacled guy chuckled awkwardly, "Uncle Ogasawara has temporarily forbidden me from going to school with Ogasawara-senpai."
"Oh..." the four people responded with slightly drawn-out voices.
Yuka, the older sister, burst out laughing: "Serves you right, you foolish little brother!"
"Heh, this is just a small test on the road to happiness! You, who are still single, would never understand!" The bespectacled guy is still the same bespectacled guy, launching an indiscriminate AOE attack without warning.
This not only made Yuuka unhappy, but even Takanashi glanced at him more.
The five continued on their way, with three girls walking in front and Kotegawa and Glasses-kun following behind, just like last spring.
"Ugh……"
On the way, the man with glasses suddenly sighed, a hint of melancholy on his face.
Kotegawa casually remarked, "Sighing will make happiness slip away."
"Huh?" Glasses-kun quickly covered his mouth, but couldn't help but sigh, "After this semester ends, Ogasawara-senpai will graduate."
Ogasawa-senpai is a senior in the third year of high school, and this semester is indeed the last period she will spend at school, perhaps even less.
“It’s alright…” Kotegawa patted his shoulder: “Your grades have always been excellent. Keep it up and you’ll definitely get into the university where Ogasawa-senpai is.”
The bespectacled boy thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with determination: "This year I'm going to work even harder! I'll try to finish all my courses by the end of my second year of high school, and then go straight to university!"
The country has very strict academic standards, and many of its universities are internationally renowned.
The bespectacled guy, who plans to graduate high school a year early, is truly going all out for love.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. Keep going!"
The bespectacled boy looked a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and continued, "I'm going to the honors class in the second semester of my junior year. The pace of the courses there is faster than the regular classes, which is more suitable for me. I probably won't be able to help with chores at home this year; I'll go to tutoring classes after school..."
Kotegawa nodded repeatedly.
Glasses-kun is really smart. In the last final exam, he was just two points away from a perfect score, far ahead of everyone else and firmly holding the top spot in the entire grade. The second-place student, Sei-sora, was a full fifteen points behind him, and even Fujiwara Kaori, a student in the top class, was five points behind him. He's quite impressive.
"At the start of the second year of high school, we'll have to re-divide into different subjects and classes. I think Kotegawa will be in the same class as Mikazuki and my older sister this time?" Glasses-kun calculated in his mind before asking, "Mikazuki, Takanashi, what subjects are you choosing? Humanities or sciences?"
They all have pretty good grades and are aiming for university; it's unlikely they'll go into vocational school and start working right after graduation.
"Science," Qingkong replied.
Takanashi replied, "I'm not very good at math. If I were to continue my studies, I'd probably choose humanities, since it might be easier there."
She doesn't value arts and sciences too much. As long as she can pass the exams, she can get into her desired university, so she wants to choose a subject that doesn't require too much brainpower.
"Humanities? The humanities at our school aren't as good as the sciences. It's always been a haven for bad students." The bespectacled guy was quite serious when talking about studying. He scratched his head and said, "Our school's sciences are only passable. Takanashi, if you want to choose humanities, it's better to transfer schools."
Yujia agreed: "The recent troubles at our school mostly originated from the second-year humanities students. The environment in the humanities and some vocational classes is really terrible."
Suddenly, Glasses Guy remembered something and slapped his forehead, saying, "That's right! Didn't Takanashi get early admission to a music university abroad? We should consider that! Being able to end the miserable high school life early and study in depth in a field you love, it's definitely better over there than in China! This option is perfect!"
After thinking about it, Youjia and Qingkong, the two girls, had to admit that he was right.
The opportunity to attend a music university is really quite good.
"Hmm, it seems so..." Takanashi nodded gently, his hands behind his back.
"After graduating over there, I can come back and become a music teacher, living the life I've always wanted. Isn't that great!" The bespectacled guy shook his head and said, "Entering university early and graduating early means I can always stay ahead. Look at how complicated society is these days..."
Takanashi nodded from time to time: "It is indeed quite good... Kotegawa, what do you think?"
Kotegawa, who had been listening quietly, said seriously, "There are demons abroad."
