You say this is a love game?

How to do this obviously depends on Mizutani Makoto's own luck.

Ukita Daiyu was only teaching as a person with experience. It was because he saw Mizutani Makoto's amazing talent and felt a sense of appreciation for his talent that he took such care of Mizutani Makoto's studies.

And he also happens to be one of the student union's instructors.

Even though the club recruitment period has passed, if Mizutani Makoto wants to join the club, it will still be easy with his teacher's help in introduction.

It’s hard to say what’s wrong with Ukita Daiyu’s suggestion… No, from Mizutani Makoto’s perspective, it should be “completely right.”

This teacher is quite nice!

If it weren't for all those weird things, then studies would be the most effective way for a common person like him to climb up. Meeting a teacher like Ukita Daiyu who values ​​talent would be a great start.

Mizutani Makoto nodded, showing no intention of refusing.

Even if Ukita Daiyu didn't say it, he was considering quitting his part-time job at the newspaper.

The main reason was that he completed two tasks in the past two weeks, plus Mai Yajima's 37.5% completion rate, which brought him a profit of 110 million yen.

He still has about 26 yen in savings, and including his salary for May, his small treasury will definitely reach 30 yen.

It can be predicted that he will be able to earn more Fukuzawa Yukichi through Tsuneko's mission before the money is spent.

"I understand. I will quit my part-time job at the newspaper."

Mizutani Makoto accepted Ukita Daiyu's kindness, but he had not yet decided which club to join. After all, he would be staying there for three years, so he decided to think about it carefully.

Ukita Daiyu also nodded. Being able to get Mizutani Makoto to quit his part-time job and concentrate on his studies was already a progress for him.

His expression brightened considerably, and he smiled, "If you have other hobbies or interests, you can join relevant clubs... High school clubs aren't as strict as those in college, and hobbies are important too. But try to avoid those frivolous clubs; they'll only hold you back."

What is a gangster club?

For example, there are things like the Service Club, the Far Eastern Magical Nap Club's Summer, and the Classical Literature Club. There may be beautiful girls facing the crisis of being disbanded waiting for you to save them, but that stuff is of no help to your resume.

Ukita Daiyu had pointed out that clubs like the recently troubled "Paranormal Research Club" were meaningless, scatterbrained clubs. They only existed and held significant positions because the early founders were now alumni and held some influence.

As for hobbies...

Mizutani Makoto left the office, still thinking about his hobbies.

His interests?

His life in this life was rather boring, so he didn't develop any interests. His current interests were all left over from his previous life.

Listen to music, read books, play games, and read comic books.

Looking at it this way, which department can he go to?

After all, he is not an orthodox Japanese. He is not good at any of the national sports here. He is an academically oriented athlete and his family is financially limited. Where does he get so many messy hobbies?

Tsk, just listen to Teacher Dayu and join the student union.

But that doesn't seem right. Does his life really need to be guaranteed by his studies?

Mizutani Makoto shook his head, getting rid of this unnecessary thought.

Now that he has a son, he certainly doesn't need his studies to guarantee his life.

But humans are social animals after all, and he has lived his life like this for more than ten years. If you ask him to break away from the behavioral logic of "human beings", he will only look at you as a fool.

Isn’t it good to gain both fame and fortune?

Anyway, it's just a side thing in life, just like he still wants to continue his studies and fully satisfy his spiritual and social needs.

Mizutani Makoto closed the shoe cabinet and left the teaching building with his schoolbag.

I asked for leave from the newspaper's supervisor and mentioned my resignation. The other party didn't say anything, but just asked me to talk in person tomorrow.

Of course, this is not a retention.

It can be considered a process. Nowadays, there are too many "unwritten rules" that Japanese society has to abide by. It's like a strange story of rules. If you are not careful, you will attract jealousy.

Resignation generally requires two weeks' notice in advance. Even if he wants to resign now, he must first communicate with the newspaper, submit a written resignation form, and confirm his last working day.

The so-called last working day was to ask him to take the new newspaper deliveryman who would take over his route, and the two of them would complete a delivery together and hand over the delivery details. This was something he had experienced before.

It means that old employees guide new employees and help them become familiar with the work flow.

It's okay to just run away, but most people don't mind doing so. It's easy to stain their resume. Japanese society still attaches great importance to the spirit of contract, especially since his part-time job is for a formal company and he has signed a contract before.

"I can also get a letter of recommendation from my supervisor..."

After amicable parting, the company should usually give a letter of recommendation to prove the employee's moral character, which will also be beneficial for the future.

Mizutani Makoto was thinking about his future plans and was not in a hurry to go home.

He wandered around the campus, circled the playground, and then, on a whim, headed towards the gymnasium. The trees lining the road were lush and verdant, a stark contrast to the map of the underworld in the crevice.

Mizutani Makoto looked at the scenery of Yami High School with interest.

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and his brows furrowed tightly.

At the end of his sight, Yajima Mai was surrounded by four girls. They were blocked in the corner and it was unclear what they were talking about.

Chapter 63: This classmate, you don’t want to…

Behind the gymnasium is a huge ornamental pigeon cage. Dozens of pigeons flapped their wings and fell from the sky, and then landed on the branches of the rockery inside the cage.

They looked down upon the humans below and made cooing sounds.

Rika Nishimura was standing in the corner.

The girl with a fierce look on her face was looking at the scene in front of her impatiently - the good girl Mai Yajima was surrounded by four people including herself. At first glance, it seemed as if they were bullying Mai Yajima.

Tsk, that's really bullying.

Rika Nishimura couldn't help but think about it. Her family background was not bad. The other three people standing here were also young ladies from wealthy families in the eyes of common people. Why would they be doing such nonsense here like some low-class gangsters?

...annoying!

She was just too bored to do anything like this.

So, Rika Nishimura doesn't understand Shion Yajima's thoughts at all.

That's right, this wasn't Nishimura Rika's idea. Ever since she investigated Mai Yajima's background, she hadn't taken her seriously. She usually ignored her in social situations and didn't bother to get involved with her. So why would she bully her for no reason?

And bullying at Yemi High School... he's really playing with his own life!

The reason she did this was purely because someone behind her asked her to do so.

That was a real child of the Yajima family.

The day before yesterday afternoon, she went with the student union to a team-building activity, which was actually just a group of people eating, drinking and having fun.

At the dinner table, Shion Yajima, a candidate for the next student council president, finds her and entrusts her with a task.

Shion Yajima heard that Mai Yajima from her class was still in school, so she wanted her to check on Mai Yajima to see what was going on...

What is this nonsense?

What else can Mai Yajima do if she doesn’t go to school?

But since Shion Yajima had spoken, Nishimura Rika had no choice but to obey. This was the social ethos in Japan, not to mention that Shion Yajima was much higher in status than her and was the one she wanted to please.

Who made her elders ask the Yajima family for something and asked her to socialize around Yajima Shion?

Even in aristocratic schools, the families of the young masters and young ladies are divided into different levels, and not all of them come to school for the purpose of studying... Sometimes the social circle is also an attractive part of this school.

If you want to climb the high branch of the Yajima family, you can only go around them and make some "sacrifices"...

"Hey, did you offend her in some way?"

Rika Nishimura stepped forward. She was slightly taller than Mai Yajima and looked down at the girl from above.

Mai Yajima is also a relatively complicated existence in the Yajima family.

Anyway, she has no status in the family. She even changed her surname to "Yajima" last year. I don't think her previous surname was something else... Forget it, who cares about her? She is just an abandoned child who is not cared about. She can't be considered a real "child of the Yajima family" at all.

"Who did you offend?"

Mai Yajima was forced into a corner, her hands tightly clutching her schoolbag, her dark pupils reflecting Rika Nishimura's face.

She looked a little scared, like a little white rabbit forced into a desperate situation. Her pitiful shivering appearance made people feel pity for her.

But her seemingly timid eyes never dodged, but stared straight at Rika Nishimura.

This is a very contradictory thing.

It felt like her fear was fake.

Nishimura Rika shook off the strange thoughts in her mind and replied, "Who else could it be? The one with the same last name as you."

“…Shion?”

Mai Yajima actually showed a surprised expression.

She asked, "So she was looking for me?"

"Yes, she cares about you very much and even asked us to look after you."

"Then why don't you just come and see me?"

"Who knows? Why don't you ask her?"

Rika Nishimura waved her hand impatiently.

This was her first time being a bully and she wasn't very experienced yet. She looked around and then signaled the other three to come forward with her eyes.

"Beat her up and take some pictures... Oh, forget it, it's too low-level and annoying."

"Don't take humiliating photos. Just record a video of her being beaten and kick her in the face a couple of times. That's all you need to do when the time comes."

Rika Nishimura lowered her head and found that Mai Yajima's eyes were staring at her.

The gaze that seemed to be glued to her made her suddenly stunned and goose bumps appeared on the back of her neck.

"Do you want to bully me?"

Yajima Mai asked calmly.

"Do not want to."

Nishimura Rika responded subconsciously, "But my family wants me to have a good relationship with her, and I have to please her."

This reply came so suddenly that even Rika Nishimura didn't know why she answered without saying a word.

The next moment, she said stubbornly: "What does it have to do with you whether I want to or not?"

Yajima Mai said: "That's fine...but, do you really want to attack me?"

The girl looked directly at the fierce-looking girl in front of her. She tucked up the hair that was scattered on her cheeks and said softly: "If you want to bully me, I won't resist. You can fight for your own pleasure..."

"But once something is done, there's no turning back."

Your hands are obviously clean, why do you want to dirty both your hands and your heart?

Maybe my future life will be completely ruined because of a trivial matter like today.

Mai Yajima couldn't help feeling bored, but she still put on her well-trained perfect smile.

It was this smile that was particularly glaring in Rika Nishimura's eyes.

Nishimura Rika frowned unhappily, then laughed in anger: "Who do you think you are? What's wrong with this attitude?"

"It's nothing serious. It's just advice from the heart."

As she said this, Yajima Mai squatted down.

She held her head in her hands, then tilted her head back slightly, with a pitiful expression on her face.

"Go ahead and hit me. I won't fight back now."

"And Shiyin, you will go see her, right?"

"Then please tell me that she is the most important person, so I will go to her last."

It doesn't matter how much effort you put in.

Nor is there any fear that the other party will escape.

She called out the names of the group one by one, and the last person to be the main course member was Shion Yajima.

This group of people beat her up, it was nothing more than adding a few more names to the list...

She couldn't possibly suffer any loss from this beating.
