The strongest high school student in Japan

Then she realized that the two people were sitting very close to each other, almost touching each other.

Her face turned red again for a moment, and then she moved her seat back slightly.

Then she thought of the previous question again.

She had wanted to ask this question very much before, but she was afraid of invading his privacy so she didn't dare to ask, and she was always a little conflicted.

But at this time, she really couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"Jun-kun...if it's convenient for you, could you answer a question for me?"

"What's wrong? Please ask anything you want, senior." Jun Mogami was in a good mood now, so he agreed immediately.

"Jun-kun...what does your family do?" Sagihara Shion asked cautiously, "If it's inconvenient, you don't have to answer..."

Because of her father, Sagihara Shion has known since childhood that there are many gray and shameful industries in this world, so she is even a little afraid to know the truth. If Junjun's father or mother also made a fortune in that way, she doesn't know how to face it.

But at this point, she really wanted to know the truth, even if it was a cruel truth, which was better than knowing nothing.

Fortunately, her worries were in vain.

"Ah, this?" Mogami Jun answered without any hesitation, "My father served the Japanese people."

"So he's a civil servant?" Sagihara Shion immediately understood and breathed a sigh of relief. "Is he a civil servant in Tokyo?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Mogami Jun nodded and took another sip of his drink. "But it's not from Tokyo, it's from the central government, to be more precise, the Ministry of Finance."

"The Ministry of Finance..." This unexpected news made Sagihara Shion almost gasp. "So, it's a career..."

It turned out to be a high-ranking official from the Ministry of Finance... For a moment, she almost couldn't believe it, but she knew that Mogami Jun would not lie in such a place.

Such a powerful person is almost like an existence above the clouds to her.

After a moment, she finally calmed down and said, "No wonder Chunjun's house is so luxurious. It turns out that your father is so powerful."

"You can't really say that..." Mogami Jun shook his head, then explained to Sagihara Shion, "Civil servants look glamorous, but the income is not that high - at least not on the surface. It's just that after retirement, the younger generation will arrange for them to work in places with very generous salaries to earn money. So in fact, our house was bought by my father with my grandfather's inheritance. He really couldn't afford it with his income alone. Maybe it will be different after retirement."

Then he smiled again, "Of course I'm not complaining. These people have worked hard to squeeze into the government, so they are certainly not selfless. Although the income is not high, they have great power, and then use this power to help their friends. Naturally, someone will pay for the power, and the price will be very high..."

This mysterious smile made Sagihara Shion suddenly dare not ask any further questions. Perhaps it is better not to know some things.

And Mogami Jun's tone seemed familiar, as if he had suddenly become a different person. The most important thing was the indifferent tone and the slight sarcasm, as if he had seen through the ins and outs of it.

Judging from his tone, his grandfather must have been a high-ranking official in his time... What a powerful family, this must be the source of family learning.

At this time, Sagihara Shion truly felt that the two people were living in different worlds, with an invisible but absolutely clear boundary between them.

Can you cross that line?

For a moment, Sagihara Shion suddenly felt a little flustered.

"Senior, what's wrong with you?" Mogami Jun sensed Sagihara Shion's nervousness, so he stopped introducing her. "Well, there's nothing much to say about this kind of boring thing. Anyway, please rest assured. Our family is definitely not a gray family. We can walk in the sun."

"I remember that when we first met, Jun-kun also said that he only wanted to be admitted to the University of Tokyo but didn't know what to do after being admitted, right?" At this time, Sagihara Shion suddenly spoke again in a low voice, "In fact, what Jun-kun meant at that time was that his family had already prepared a future path for him, so he didn't need to think about it himself? Jun-jun should follow the footsteps of his elders and continue to take the civil service exam, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Mogami Jun nodded, "That's what my late grandfather and father expected of me. I think I will do it if nothing unexpected happens."

"With Jun-kun's ability and intelligence, I think he can definitely succeed on this path. I don't know why I'm not surprised at all. I always felt that Jun-kun would definitely be very successful in the future, and now it seems to be true. It's just that..." Sagihara Shion suddenly changed the subject and looked at Mogami Jun seriously, "Jun-kun, if there really comes a day when huge power falls into your hands, when exercising this power, please think about the responsibility on your shoulders for a moment, okay? People like you are too easy to treat others as dust."

"If I were watched by my senior, I would probably consider it, right?" Mogami Jun thought for a moment, then answered with a smile.

"Then I'll try it." Sagihara Shion also nodded slightly.

..........................................

I don’t know how long it took before the two of them said goodbye reluctantly.

Jun Mogami needs to go home to take care of himself, while Shion Sagihara is preparing to go back to school.

Along the way, Sagihara Shion couldn't help but feel mixed emotions.

She was no longer angry with Chunjun, but was shocked by other news.

She originally knew that there was a huge gap between her and the other party's family background, but today she realized that the difference was actually as big as heaven and earth.

The daughter of a criminal and the son of a bureaucrat... they don't seem to be the same kind of people.

Can we become fellow travelers?

Well, let's not think about that, at least we had a very memorable day. Sagihara Shion sighed inwardly.

As if seeking comfort, she picked up her phone and opened the photo album, preparing to flip through the photo of her and Mogami Jun.

Then her hands froze.

"Eh!"

Another photo caught her eye.

That was the photo that Sanae Izumi sent to Jun Mogami - the photo she took that day of Jun Mogami and Mayu Takasaki riding the carousel together.

Because there have been so many things going on recently, Jun Mogami has long forgotten about this matter, so it just lies quietly in the photo album.

Sagihara Shion stared blankly at the photo, watching the boy and girl riding the wooden horses.

She also knew that girl—it was clearly Takasaki Mayu.

Although Mayu Takasaki's expression in the photo was a little strange, she was still so beautiful that she even felt impressed.

For some reason, she felt that the other person's eyes were a little dazzling for a moment.

She placed her slightly shaking hand on the picture, trying to find a way to delete it.

But in the end, her hand stopped, and she sighed and turned off her phone.

106, Grandpa

Of course, Mogami Jun could not understand Sagihara Shion's mood at this moment. On the contrary, because he had gotten along very well with his senior before, he set out on the journey home with a very relaxed mood.

Although he met the senior in the morning, because the two of them spent a long time together, it was already afternoon when they returned home.

When he stepped into the house, he was surprised to find that his father was also at home, sitting on the sofa watching TV.

At this time, Jun Mogami remembered that not only did he have a day off because of the exams, but his father also had a day off.

But even on holidays, my father often has to go out for social events, so it's quite rare for him to stay at home in the daytime like today. As for my mother, well, it seems that she is not at home today as usual...

When the father, who was watching TV, saw his son coming back, he glanced at him.

The unconcealable joy on his son's face soon caught his father's attention.

"Are you having fun at your classmate's house?" he asked calmly.

"Yeah, we had a lot of fun." Jun Mogami nodded.

"Just be happy. People need to relax sometimes." Mogami Qing answered calmly, then picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

At this time, Mogami Jun understood that his father must have something to tell him, so he stopped and listened attentively.

"You should take a rest. I will take you to your grandpa later." As expected, my father soon told me his purpose. "Your grandpa hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to see you."

"Ah? Grandpa?" Mogami Jun was a little surprised.

His grandfather was naturally the "old man" his mother referred to as, Kousuke Kazawa, a former senior official of the Ministry of Finance.

Ever since he failed in his bid for the position of Vice Minister of Finance and was forced to retire, he began his carefree retirement life. Although he was a nominal director of a large bank, no one ever bothered him about any matters. He only needed to live his life with his generous salary.

Perhaps to vent his depression, or perhaps to find something to do, Kousuke Hezawa has been traveling around in recent years, staying abroad for a few months from time to time, so Mogami Jun has not seen him very often in recent years.

Of course, Jun Mogami has a very good relationship with his grandfather. He has been very fond of him since he was a child and almost always granted his requests. After retirement, because he no longer has any worries about money, he is even more generous to Jun Mogami. He often gives him various gifts and foreign specialties bought during travels. Jun Mogami's first mobile phone was given by him.

So under normal circumstances, if his father said he wanted to take him to meet his grandfather, Mogami Jun would be quite happy.

But this time it's a little different.

Mogami Jun still clearly remembered that his mother had complained to him not long ago that his grandfather was planning to find him a partner as soon as possible. It was a bit awkward to meet his grandfather at this time...

But of course these words could not be said out loud, so Mogami Jun could only nod after a little hesitation, "Okay, I understand, I'll clean it up..."

After saying that, he went straight to the bathroom, took a shower, and changed his clothes.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, the sleepiness and fatigue accumulated from last night were swept away, and he looked handsome and vigorous.

Jun Mogami looked at his son's current appearance, nodded slightly, then raised his hand to look at his watch.

"In that case, let's go and don't keep the old man waiting for too long."

After saying that, he took his son down the elevator again, then drove his Mercedes-Benz AMG car and took Jun Mogami out of the building.

Since his retirement, Mr. Kousuke Hezawa has moved out of his residence near the government and lived in a villa in Ota Ward, the southernmost part of Tokyo. He usually does not receive outsiders and only a few people can visit him.

The car drove south from Chiyoda, passed Minato Ward and Shinagawa, and finally arrived in Ota Ward.

Although this place also belongs to Tokyo, the population here is much sparser than the densely populated central area, and even the roads have become much wider. Saigami's car quickly drove to the beach and finally stopped next to a beach villa.

At this time, the sky was clear, the sun was shining on the outer wall covered with ivy, the sea breeze was blowing gently on the visitors, and there was silence all around, with only the sound of waves crashing and seagulls crying echoing between heaven and earth.

Such a scenery is truly refreshing.

Mogami Kiyoshi and Mogami Jun got out of the car together, then walked to the gate and rang the doorbell.

After confirming the identities of the father and son, a housekeeper quickly opened the door and welcomed the owner's son-in-law and grandson in.

Soon, they were brought to the balcony of the villa, and at that moment, there happened to be an old man lazily lying on a rocking chair under the awning, resting with his eyes closed.

The old man looked to be in his early seventies, with a square face full of wrinkles and his hair had turned gray.

Although he looked old, he was wearing a beige short-sleeved shirt and casual pants, looking quite relaxed and comfortable.

This is Jun Mogami’s grandfather, Kousuke Hezawa.

In Jun Mogami's limited childhood memories, his grandfather was not like this. At that time, he was just like his father, wearing a neat suit and tie all day long, never smiling, a serious and rigid image of a standard bureaucrat.

When he first retired, my grandfather had not yet adjusted himself and still maintained his old dress style and sat upright all day long.

However, as time passed, perhaps because he began to accept his fate, his dress became more casual and relaxed, he smiled more often, and he often joked, becoming a lot funnier than before.

To Jun Mogami at that time, such a grandfather was probably more lovable than the grandfather who became vice minister.

Mogami Qing brought his son to his father-in-law's side, and then looked at the old man who was still sleeping.

After waiting for a moment, he coughed lightly.

The old man's sleep was always very light, so he was quickly awakened.

He blinked, and then confirmed the identities of the two people in front of him with his blurry eyes.

"You are here..." The old man shook his body and then sat up.

Then, he turned his gaze to his grandson, Jun Mogami, and looked him over carefully.

"Boy!" Then he burst into laughter and waved to Mogami Jun, "Come here, let grandpa see you."

Mogami Jun walked over obediently and stood in front of his grandfather. "Grandpa, good afternoon."

The old man raised his hand and grasped his wrist, then squeezed it hard, causing Jun Mogami to feel a little pain. "Children grow up really fast. You've grown so much taller in just a few months. Qing, in two years he'll probably be taller than you. Not bad. I hope he can surpass a useless guy like you in the future."

Kousuke Hezawa has always been very kind in front of his grandchildren - after all, people will inevitably feel their own aging in front of their grandchildren, and thus involuntarily place their hopes on them.

However, Heze Kousuke was not so nice to others. Even to his son-in-law Saigami Qing, he often used a scolding tone and did not give him any face at all.

When Saigami Kiyoshi first entered the Ministry of Finance, Kousuke Hezawa was his superior. At that time, Kousuke Hezawa was already accustomed to speaking like this, and this did not change even after he became a son-in-law.

And now, under the scolding of his father-in-law, Saigami Qing could only remain silent in embarrassment.

"Grandpa, please don't say that about my father in front of me." Instead, it was Mogami Jun who spoke well of his father, "I will be unhappy."

"Very good, you know how to be filial." Heze Kangjie smiled, "How many children nowadays know how to be considerate of their parents!"

As he spoke, he stood up and took Mogami Jun's hand, "It's too sunny outside, let's go in."

The grandfather and grandson walked into the room hand in hand, and Saigami Qing followed behind.

The living room is very spacious and has a skylight, which provides very good lighting. The sea breeze also blows in from the windows all around, making it very cool.

There were many plates of fruits on the dining table. Kousuke Hezawa picked up a few grapes and put them into his mouth, then chewed them up and swallowed them. The purple juice overflowed from the corners of his mouth in an untidy manner, and then he wiped it clean with a napkin nonchalantly.

"Chun, I heard that your mother looked for you a while ago?" the old man asked after eating.

"Well, my mother celebrated my birthday." Jun Mogami nodded.

He knew in his heart that it was his father who must have told his grandfather, and his grandfather probably asked him to come over today just for this matter.

"This damn girl has been willful since she was young, and she acts so great. I've had enough of her!" Perhaps remembering the previous quarrel, the old man was a little angry again, and he directly scolded his daughter, "I don't know what's so great about her. She is obviously a loser who can't even get into Dongda! She is still like this at this age, what does she know?"

"Grandpa, don't scold my mother in front of me, otherwise I will be angry." Mogami Jun couldn't help but remind the old man again.
