I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

After explaining the location clearly, Majima asked with a smile.

But considering the time, he had been gone for quite a while, and was now alone in Kyoto looking for entertainment. Majima even regretted not bringing his girlfriend with him.

"It's already so late, and we just met by chance, so we just need to chat casually."

Aki Tomoya replied in a somewhat helpless tone.

After walking around Kyoto with Eriri, the two said goodbye to each other and Eriri turned around and went back to the hotel where she was staying.

After separating from her, Tomoya Aki thought of Majima and Takagi who was still on a blind date in another place.

"Besides, I'm not familiar with Kyoto. If I suddenly meet here, where should I go to have fun? Can I ask for your advice, Mashima-kun?"

"Hahaha, I don't want to pass on these experiences... Should I go over there, or should you come over here?"

After joking for a while and agreeing on how to meet up, about half an hour later, Majima saw the shadow of Tomoya Aki.

After seeing that he had rushed over non-stop, Majima sighed, "Spend more time with the girls, don't worry about me!"

"Mashima-kun, are you almost done yet?"

As soon as they met, they started teasing each other, which made Aki Tomoya quite helpless.

He did want to, but it happened so suddenly, what else could he do?

After rolling his eyes at Majima, Akitomo didn't explain much, but urged the other party to follow him back to Takagi.

On the way back, Majima was still gossiping about what happened between him and Eriri.

"Childhood sweethearts, that's all. Please calm down Mashima-kun's gossip-mongering!"

Regarding the gossip about Majima, Aki Tomoya only had one answer.

Apart from explaining their childhood sweetheart relationship, Aki Tomoya didn't say anything else.

He didn't want to use the things about Eriri to gossip to others.

Majima also noticed this and kept his mouth shut afterwards. Majima didn't want to make Aki Tomo unhappy.

Even though they often tease each other, if some things are taken too far, it will be bad for both sides.

Majima didn't ask any more questions, and Aki Tomoya also became quiet.

At the same time, he thought about the time he went shopping with Eriri just now.

What concerned him was not Eriri, but Eriri's mother, Sayuri Sawamura, the mother of his childhood sweetheart.

She was the one who brought Eriri here, but she couldn't see anyone.

Thinking about the fact that he had inexplicably been labeled in the eyes of Takagi's father, Tomoya Aki almost suspected that it was Sayuri Sawamura's doing.

And I happened to meet Eriri on the street, I don’t know if it was really a coincidence.

"It must really be a coincidence."

Other things are difficult to confirm, but this is the only thing that Aki Tomoya can confirm.

The childhood sweetheart was also equally surprised when she saw him.

……

Takagi's blind date did not go well.

When Tomoya Aki and Majima met Takagi, they got this message from his face.

The guy was very proud, as if he was proud of having rejected the girl's man.

In the hotel, the woman's people had already left, but Takagi was still waiting for his mother to come back and go home together.

"It's just a small matter like a blind date, isn't it easy to handle?"

Takagi looked very proud, as if he was not the one who showed severe fear of blind dates at the beginning.

She was obviously very nervous at the beginning, but now that she has rejected the blind date, she is completely showing off.

"She also said she was worried about whether you would have problems being alone. It seems we were overthinking it. We should have played outside more often!"

Aki Tomoya looked at Takagi in surprise. The other person was completely different from when he first arrived here.

Gao Mu disagreed when he heard this. He crossed his arms across his chest. After a few seconds, he changed his posture and held his chin with his hands, apparently thinking about something.

"Should we celebrate tonight?"

He raised his head and asked for the opinions of Tomoya Aki and Majima.

If a blind date fails, celebrate...

Tomoya Aki and Majima looked at each other, then looked at Takagi with some unbearable look.

"Let's go back. We have to go back tomorrow."

Majima shook his head. Based on his understanding of Takagi, if they were to celebrate, they would just have a good night of partying, and he didn't know how late it would last.

Majima wasn't very interested in the activities arranged by Takagi.

"Of course, if Amami-kun is interested, Takagi-kun and Amami-kun, you don't have to worry about me and just have fun tonight."

Then, Mashima added another sentence.

Before Amajima could say anything, Takagi retorted to Mashima, "We have to go back tomorrow night, so we have to have a good time tonight. Mashima, have you never had a nightlife?"

He said this with doubt in his eyes.

At this time, Amaki Tomoya helped Majima and said to Takagi: "I'm sorry, my nightlife is probably not as good as yours, Takagi-kun."

What is Tomoya Aki's nightlife like?

Let’s not talk about it now. In the past, people would probably stay up late to play games. That was the nightlife of otakus.

And Takagi's nightlife...

Well, looking at this person, you can imagine how exciting his nightlife is.

As for what Takagi said about celebrating in the evening, Aki Tomoya and Mashima agreed.

They didn't need to be led by Takagi. They should enjoy the beautiful night time in Kyoto, go to bed early, do what they should do the next day, and then return to Tokyo.

This time, Takagi brought them to Kyoto for a blind date. His reason was to make the two of them ruin his blind date, but in fact, Tomoya Aki and Majima just came here for fun.

The other party's father didn't care about the outcome of the blind date at all, he just wanted Takagi to come back.

"You guys are really boring. Since Kyoto's nightlife doesn't attract you, how about Tokyo's Kabukicho and Ginza's clubs?"

Gao Mu had an expression on his face that you and I both understand.

However, Tomoya Aki and Mashima looked strange and kept making faces at him, reminding him of something.

"Sai, what have you been doing in Tokyo?"

Hearing this voice, Takagi's breathing hitched.

It was Takagi's mother. She didn't know when she came back and just happened to hear Takagi bragging to Tomoya Aki and the others.

It seemed like Takagi had stepped on a landmine and was caught red-handed.

"I'm just kidding!"

Chapter 256: Need or Not (1/2)

Takagi rejected the blind date, and his mother seemed a little unhappy.

After hearing him bragging and talking nonsense, I came up and scolded him.

After being taught a lesson by his mother, Takagi immediately calmed down.

After returning together, Takagi, who failed in the blind date, was ridiculed by his sister again.

Before going to bed at night, the three of them were still talking about Takagi's blind date in Tomoya Aki's room.

However, after Takagi left, Takagi started talking about other things in front of Aki Tomoya, about how his good friend Aki Tomoya met a girl he knew on the street today.

"Aki-kun, you are very popular."

"Here we go again. I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."

I don’t know if the other party is just gossiping or has other intentions, but at least one thing is certain: Majima seems to have some suggestions to make.

"Come to think of it, I did hear some interesting things during this trip to Kyoto. What do you think of Sawamura's son-in-law, Amaki-kun?"

"...Do you know my childhood sweetheart?"

Suddenly mentioning the label that was inexplicably attached to him, Akitomo frowned slightly.

I always feel like the other person cares about me.

"No, I just guessed, and then I felt like I should get to know you better."

Majima was half serious and half joking.

The other party's words that he wanted to get to know him better made Aki Tomoya quite concerned.

"Well, we've known each other for half a year, right? We've been friends since we entered Science 3. Do you still need to get to know me better?"

Aki Tomoya asked back.

You should always understand what the other party means.

To be realistic, my communication with Majima will only increase, but like my high school friend Yoshihiko Kamigo, our contact has gradually decreased due to our different situations.

Now, can we say that even if this is the case, friendship can last forever?

Akitomo really wanted to say this, at least he hoped that his friend would not change no matter what.

"No, it's just that you suddenly find a real-life version of Goro Zaizen in front of you, and it feels a little weird, right?"

"So, after suddenly realizing that I was someone who wanted to climb up the social ladder and find a backer, did Majima look down on me?"

After Aki Tomoya asked again, both of them laughed out loud.

Majima shook his head first, then replied seriously: "But here comes the problem. If that's the case, then you can obviously pick someone up. A beautiful lady like that, many people would try their best to get her. But isn't Amami-kun very cold?"

"…That's just my childhood sweetheart."

After replying to Majima in this way, Aki Tomoya fell into deep thought and began to think carefully about whether there was any misunderstanding.

"It's really not bad to find a suitable young lady. I used this sentence to motivate myself when I was in school. I prayed that some rich and beautiful lady would take a fancy to me, hehe..."

“So skinny!”

Majima smiled and expressed his understanding.

Things like study hard, become a CEO, marry a beautiful, rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of life, I heard these words many times when I was in school.

In fact, if you analyze it carefully, it makes sense that if you study hard, you can really become the CEO of a big company, be appreciated by others, and marry the big boss's daughter.

Then the prerequisite is to finish your studies and then really have the ability to climb to that position, and then you will be worthy of being appreciated.

Otherwise, it depends on luck. There are also beautiful stories like that...

"If necessary and appropriate, maybe I can become someone like Zaizen Goro."

It's not that he hasn't seen "White Tower", but he has to complain that if he wants to be Goro Zaizen, he should learn the good aspects of others.

In fact, he also admired idealistic people like Satomi.

"I'll do that when I need to. It sounds helpless. Amai-kun, have you even thought about the situation where you will be forced to do something against your will?"

Majima said in surprise, which supplemented his understanding of Aki Tomoya.

But as soon as he finished speaking, An Yiren laughed and retorted: "What if it's not against one's will? Why must it be against one's will? There are also situations where both parties are in love and support each other."

It's not like there isn't a situation where everyone is better off like that. The world doesn't have to be that cruel, and what they say isn't really that cruel. It's even reasonable and in some ways, it's a good thing.

"But Amaki-kun seems to prefer to live his own way. If you want to, do it. Whether it's necessary or not is important. I understand why you are so cold to your childhood sweetheart."

From the moment Eriri appeared at the beginning, seeing Eriri's reaction, and then later when Tomoya Aki and Eriri went to meet him separately, including what they said on the phone, Mashima asserted that Tomoya Aki's attitude was a bit cold.

Do what you want and what you like.

Just like a good thing like hooking up with the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, it actually depends on whether it is necessary at the moment. Does Tomoya Aki need to do this now?

He looked ahead. He didn't have that kind of requirement for the time being. Besides, the University of Tokyo was really a good platform. He was getting to know more and more people. He couldn't talk about building connections yet, but he had to build good relationships. He was still happy to enrich his own value.

Go and get along well with Eriri?
