Thinking of this, she made up her mind and gave instructions to her attendants.
"Hayasaka, keep a close eye on him during this time. No matter what means you use, find some dirt on him and kick him out of Shuchiin."
She added, "Don't fabricate or use other unconventional means. My brothers are paying close attention to me."
After saying this, there was still a sarcastic smile on his face, and I didn't know who he was laughing at.
"Yes."
Hayasaka Ai gave a brief reply, ending their bedtime conversation.
In the early morning, Ye Shanming thought about a girl saying yesterday that she would introduce someone for love consultation. The Worry-Relieving Department he unilaterally established finally received its first commission. He felt refreshed and even took the initiative to greet his classmates, which was rare.
"Good morning, Ozora Tsubasa, and Furukawa Nagisa."
"Hayama-san, my name is Tanuma Tsubasa."
"Who is Furukawa Nagisa? My name is Kashiwagi Nagisa!"
Not paying attention to the detail of remembering someone else's name wrong, Ye Shanming nodded perfunctorily, took out his notebook, and continued to design the leather case of "Magical Girl Merry" while his classmates looked at him as if he was weird.
The whole day passed uneventfully. When the school bell rang, Ye Shanming did not rush to the agreed place. Instead, he slowly finished the unfinished painting, then picked up his backpack and left the classroom.
At the door of the next class, a hot blonde girl was leaning against the wall playing with her cell phone. She didn't react at all when she saw him coming out. It was not until he walked a distance away that she hung far behind him.
As soon as Ye Shanming walked into the courtyard, he saw from a distance that there were already four women and one man waiting at the agreed location. Ji Karen and Kose Erica were among them, so he took the initiative to greet them:
"Everyone's here so early. Who needs relationship advice?"
Although Ye Shanming was asking Ji Karen, his eyes were already looking at the only boy among the five people. But after taking a closer look, he found that this group of people seemed familiar, as if he had greeted them in the morning. What were their names?
"Hayama-san, it's me who needs relationship counseling."
As Ye Shanming expected, the boy took the initiative to stand up and scratched his head shyly.
"Okay, Tanuma Tsubasa, let's find a quiet place. After all, this is your personal privacy, so we should be careful."
This time, Ye Shanming did not call the boy's name wrong, and he used a tone that showed consideration for Tanuma Tsubasa, which diluted the boy's original uneasiness and he nodded involuntarily.
Ye Shanming skillfully led the group to the corner of the sports warehouse. Few students came here at this time. At Ye Shanming's request, the four girls stayed away from the two of them and stood at the intersection to keep watch for them.
However, the hot blonde girl who had been secretly observing Ye Shanming from a distance had a headache. The corner completely blocked her view and she couldn't even read lips. She could only angrily write down on her mobile phone "suspected of having an unspeakable transaction with the four small groups."
"So what is your consultation?"
Ye Shanming went straight to the point, while thinking back to what his homeroom teacher said when he criticized premature love when he was in high school.
Although Tanuma Tsubasa's face was red, since he was urged by Ji Karen to come for love consultation, he no longer hesitated and directly stated his goal: "It's that black-haired girl named Kashiwagi Nagisa outside. I like her and want to confess to her!"
Ye Shanming thought about it and matched the name with the person. It turned out to be the girl with short black hair and a red hairpin on her head. He remembered that she and Tanuma Tsubasa were classmates. They always formed a small group of three with the brown-haired girl with twintails named Shijo Shinki.
"Like? How much do you like it?"
"To what extent?"
Tanuma Tsubasa was a little puzzled: "I like it, so I like it."
"There are many levels of love, the love for beautiful things, the love between friends, and the love of wanting to spend the rest of your life with her."
Ye Shanming explained what he meant: "So what kind of liking do you have for her?"
"What kind?"
Tanuma Tsubasa was stunned. He had indeed not thought about these things. He carefully thought about every detail of his past interactions with Kashiwagi Nagisa and explored his own heart.
Spending the rest of my life with Nagisa? I don't think I've thought that far ahead. A love between friends? It seems that it's not that simple.
"It should be the kind of love that allows you to spend the rest of your life together."
Tanuma Tsubasa gave his answer in a low voice, looking down at his toes.
"Since it's a love that we'll spend the rest of our lives together, have you ever thought about your future with Kashiwagi Nagisa?"
Akira Yeshan was not satisfied with Tanuma Tsubasa's answer, but continued to ask questions based on his answer.
"You should know Kashiwagi Nagisa's family background better than I do. Do you think that with your current situation, her family will agree to you being together?"
Tanuma Tsubasa's face visibly darkened. What Hayama Akira said was right. He was just the son of the hospital director, while Kashiwagi Nagisa was the daughter of a large shipbuilding company. Even within Shuchiin, Kashiwagi Nagisa was one of the top VIPS members.
With such a huge gap in their family backgrounds, could he and Nagisa really be together? Tanuma Tsubasa knew the answer in his heart, but he had always felt that these things were far away and had never seriously thought about it.
Faced with the cruel reality ruthlessly revealed by Hayama Akira, the light in Tanuma Tsubasa's eyes faded, and he became disheartened:
"You're right. I will give up my feelings for Nagisa. It will be great if we can just be ordinary friends."
Chapter 4: Fall in love after studying.
After hearing what Tanuma Tsubasa said, Ye Shanming became a little panicked. That’s not right. I just wanted you not to fall in love in high school. I didn’t ask you to give up directly, right?
"Idiot! Are you going to give up just because of this little difficulty?"
In order to save the relationship that he almost broke up, Ye Shanming scolded him angrily, awakening Tanuma Tsubasa from the haze in his heart. The latter raised his head, and a hint of hope was faintly revealed on his gloomy face.
"Since your family background doesn't make you worthy, then make yourself worthy! Work hard to improve yourself and become someone who can stand beside Kashiwagi Nagisa! If you back down like this, it only shows that your feelings are nothing more than that, Tanuma Tsubasa."
The afternoon sun shone on Akira Hayama's body, giving him a golden glow. In Tanuma Tsubasa's eyes, Akira Hayama's face gradually overlapped with the statue of Acala in the temple.
His fighting spirit was ignited by Ye Shanming's angry rebuke, and the dejection in his body was swept away, replaced by a fiercely burning fighting spirit and a determined expression in his eyes.
"Yes! I want to make myself better and become someone who can stand beside Nagisa!"
"good!"
Ye Shanming patted his shoulder in appreciation and said, "That's right. When I was in high school in my previous life, I spent all day in class doing exercises. How can you think about dating all day in high school? You all should improve your grades. If you want to date, you have to wait until you graduate from high school!"
Feeling that he should be the Dean of Studies at Xiuzhi Academy, Ye Shanming finished his business and left the corner in a happy mood. He was immediately met with four inquiring gazes.
He took out another new notebook from his schoolbag and handed it to Ji Karen, explaining to the latter's strange look:
"Didn't we agree to teach you painting? I don't know how good your basic skills are. This is what I prepared last night. Today is Friday. You have two days to copy the painting here over the weekend and give it to me on Monday. I'll take a look at it and then teach you."
"Okay, Master."
Ji Karen quickly took the notebook, stuffed it into her schoolbag carefully as if it were a treasure, and watched Ye Shanming leave.
Tanuma Tsubasa also ran out from the corner and bowed solemnly to Hayama Akira's back. His loud voice echoed throughout the campus, and even the hot blonde girl who was watching from a distance could hear it clearly.
"Lord Yeshan Daimyo-oh, thank you for your teachings. I, Tanuma Tsubasa, will definitely not let you down!"
Although he felt that what Tanuma Tsubasa said was strange, Ye Shanming did not look back. He waved his hand with his back to them and left everyone's sight very casually.
Kashiwagi Nagisa and Shijo Maki, who had a better relationship with Danuma Tsubasa, looked at him in horror as if he had become a completely different person. He was just a relationship consultant, could he do this?
Kashiwagi Nagisa asked him with concern: "Yi, are you okay?"
"fine."
Tanuma Tsubasa returned a bright smile: "After Master Mingwang's enlightenment, I have never felt so good."
"So are we going to sing karaoke next?"
Shijo Shinki pretended to be indifferent and said, "Although I am very busy, if you want to come with me, it is not impossible."
"Then you and Kashiwagi should go together."
Shijo Shinki originally thought that Tanuma Tsubasa would agree and invite her, but in return, Tanuma Tsubasa refused:
"I plan to go back and study hard. I might ask my father to hire a tutor for me later. Just have fun, you two."
Afterwards, Tanuma Tsubasa also said goodbye to the four girls politely, picked up his backpack and left the school. Kashiwagi Nagisa, who was a little disappointed, saw Shijo Maki, who was about to cry because of being rejected, and couldn't help laughing and hugged Shijo Maki's arm.
"How adorable, Shinji."
"hiss!"
Seeing the scene before her, Juze Erica couldn't help but pinch her thigh, gasping in pain, and whispered in Ji Karen's ear:
"Is there something wrong with the master you found? I feel like Tanuma Tsubasa has been brainwashed."
Ji Karen wanted to defend Ye Shanming, but she couldn't say it. It was really that the change in Tanuma Tsubasa was too shocking, and in the end she could only reluctantly give a reason.
"They say love changes a person, right? Maybe that's what happened to Tanuma."
"Do you believe this yourself?"
Erica Juze rolled her eyes at her, and Ji Karen remained silent.
At this moment, it happened that message notifications came on both of their phones at the same time. When they took out their phones and took a look, their expressions instantly became dull.
[Ye Shanming's whereabouts notification group] [Student Council President]: Dear students, did Ye Shanjun meet you today? I didn't see him at his usual stall.
[Firsthand News] [Minister]: Karen, Erica, did you take a frontal photo of Ye Shanming? Next Monday, we should quickly post this big news on the school forum. This is firsthand news!
The two looked at each other and held their heads in pain: "It's over, I've forgotten everything!"
The hot blonde who had been staring at Ye Shanming the whole day was not in a good mood. She didn't know what was going on with this guy. Whenever she went to see him, he would just be hunched over the table drawing with a pen. He never interacted with his classmates. She even went to ask his classmates for information, but was actually asked in return, "Who is Ye Shanming? I've never heard of him."
But the student council president would not make a mistake. This guy was indeed the first in the entrance examination, and this afternoon he had some ulterior motive with Shijo Shinki's small group. All signs showed that this guy was not as simple as he seemed.
Let me see how long you can hide it, Ye Shanming!
The hot blonde's competitive spirit was aroused, so she didn't continue to follow Ye Shanming. Instead, she looked at the home address he filled in on his enrollment file. Since following him wouldn't yield any useful intelligence, she decided to contact him! Tomorrow was Saturday, perfect for a chance encounter.
Ye Shanming, who had no idea what the blonde hottie was thinking next, took more than an hour to walk back to his shabby rented apartment as usual to save money. Unlike yesterday, he didn't hear any more of the farce between the landlord and the deadbeat tenant today.
I took out the key and was about to open the door when I heard the door next door open. A tall woman walked out. Her purple hair was tied into a pigtail and hung behind her head. Her wheat-colored skin gave her a wild feeling. The ordinary white shirt and hip skirt showed off her seductive figure.
"Hey, Jiaxi, get ready to go to work."
Ye Shanming took the initiative to say hello. During the time he lived here, he had dealt with his neighbor several times, but every time, this neighbor's attitude towards him was not very good.
"Tsk."
A look of disgust appeared on Jiaxi's delicate face, and he nodded at the same time, as a greeting.
Faced with Jiaxi's attitude, Ye Shanming didn't care. After all, she just had a bad attitude and was still a nice person.
Ye Shanming was just about to enter the door when he suddenly remembered that he was planning to find a part-time job tomorrow. He quickly turned around and called out to Jiaxi who was walking down the stairs.
"Jiaxi, do you know of any stores around here that would hire high school students for part-time jobs?"
"Tsk, I don't know."
Jiaxi's Kansai accent was inexplicably funny, and despite her poor attitude, she still provided additional information:
"But I heard from customers that there are often shops hiring part-time workers near Suimei University of Arts. You should go there and take a look."
Chapter 5 Who doesn’t like to see maid costumes?
Is it near Sumyeong University of Arts?
Ye Shanming thought thoughtfully. This is also a relatively good art university. The affiliated high school is also nearby. Therefore, the surrounding area has a strong artistic atmosphere. There are various literary teahouses and coffee shops. The consumption is relatively high. Students of Shuchiyuan occasionally go there to play. In short, it is indeed a good place to work.
"Thanks a lot, Kashi."
Jia Xi completely ignored Ye Shanming's thanks, snorted coldly and left.
As usual, he logged into the account of "Magical Girl Merry" and posted a tweet. After randomly selecting a few lucky otakus to reply and comment, Ye Shanming sorted out his current financial situation.
"My rent is due in a few days, and if I want to debut as a Vtuber, I'll have to find a way to get a computer with decent specs, and a graphics tablet. I'll also need to look for cracked versions of the relevant professional software on the internet."
Roughly speaking, the total expenses are almost over 300,000 yen. I hope I can find a part-time job with a higher salary tomorrow, and by the way, I can borrow some money from some "kind-hearted people" when I come back.
Early in the morning, Ye Shanming tidied up his appearance for the first time. Since he was looking for a part-time job, the impression his appearance gave people was very important.
But he was still wearing Shuchiin's black stand-collar uniform. After all, apart from his two sets of uniforms, he had no other clothes to change into.
"We've arrived at the Sumyeong Arts University station. Passengers getting off please pack your belongings."
Akira Yeshan, who had the rare luxury of riding a tram, felt a quiet atmosphere as soon as he walked out of the station. Different from the classical and noble style of Shuchiin, the green trees trimmed into various shapes on the roadside blocked the glaring sunlight. There was a fountain standing in the square right in front of him, and young boys and girls sat beside it enjoying their leisure time on the weekend.
“It’s a really nice place.”
Ye Shanming praised him and without stopping for long, he headed straight for the nearby commercial district. A blonde girl in a blue and white sailor suit also walked out of the station and followed him naturally.
After walking for about ten minutes, the quiet atmosphere gradually faded, and various elegant shops began to appear, and the flow of people increased significantly. Ye Shanming looked at these shops with interest, and took note of the small blackboards at the entrances of the shops that said they were recruiting part-time workers.
"Meow……"
A lazy cat's meow attracted Ye Shanming's attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small cafe. The interior decoration gave people a sense of warmth and security. A gray cat was lying on the counter, yawning boredly. The man and the cat immediately made eye contact, and the gray cat's body instantly tensed up, not daring to move.
"Starlight Cafe."
Ye Shanming looked at the sign. He was quite interested in this store and always felt that the cat was a bit strange. Unfortunately, he didn't see the blackboard for recruitment, so he had to give up.
