Chapter III

"Rong! Peaceful, severe. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info2000 points. So, it's over! With the voice of the little brown-haired girl with a single ponytail, that is, our little lady with a number of paintings, she pushed down the hand in front of her; And this also announced the end of this half-village battle.

"Wow...... It's Nanpu again. That's amazing! Watching Shue put the cards in her hand down, announcing that the final winner of this round of Banzhuang was her own action, one of the two teachers, a teacher named Okurayama, let out such a sigh.

The four people sitting in front of this automatic mahjong table are the two teachers of our school, and the girl at the same level as Miss Shue, Hiroshi Okurayama. And among the four, even if they didn't use all their strength, Shue was still the one who won the most battles in the second half of the village.

Shue remembers very well that the day the four of them played the first game of mahjong happened to be the day of the previous year.

A year ago today, the multi-purpose room with an automatic mahjong table for only three people welcomed its fourth person who would take care of it regularly, and that was one of two elementary school teachers.

From the day Miss Shue started using this multi-purpose room, until two years ago, Kokurayama-san-san and their class music teacher, who is also Xilu's aunt, Ms. Okurayama; The two of them appeared in this multi-purpose room at the same time.,During this time.,The people who will often take care of and clean this multi-purpose room.,There is always only one person who counts.。

When Shue found this multi-purpose room with a somewhat remote location, it was actually in a semi-deserted state - in fact, if he hadn't seen a table of mahjong tables inside through the window, Shue probably wouldn't have noticed it. After that, she cleaned the place and "occupied" it for a long time.

At first, Shue "jumped out of the window" to enter, but after applying to the school to be able to use the multi-purpose room, Shue was able to get the key to the multi-purpose room. And then...... Every day after school, she would stay here and practice drawing and cutting cards alone.

-- It's even more boring to stick to this than to insist on learning Japanese culture on your own in class, but if it's for the sake of your grandfather and your own wishes, then you have a reason and motivation to persevere.

Fortunately, the loneliness of the "Alone Multipurpose Room" took a fundamental turn for the better when Shue entered the second half of the fourth grade, with the transfer of Kokurayama Xilu - their family made mahjong their family activity every weekend, so Okurayama's aunt and nephew happened to be able to play mahjong. And these two people also like mahjong themselves, so after transferring to another school, the two began to look for the possibility of a "mahjong room" in this school.

And then...... The aunt and nephew finally met Shue, who had been sticking to the multi-purpose room.

Then, the daily mahjong game in this multi-purpose room began from then on......

――――――――――――――――I am the dividing line between mahjong and academics.

On the other hand, in this small elementary school, Shuhua can be said to be quite special and quite famous - of course, if any elementary school student can start from the age of admission, after refusing to enter the school for several years in a row, and suddenly take the entrance exam, and directly complete the "feat" of jumping several grades in a row, and even one grade higher than the school level of the children of his own age, then he/she will also become a well-known existence in this elementary school, right?

In particular, even after skipping a few levels, Shuhua can still maintain the top three rankings in the grade in every exam. As a result, teachers in schools regard them as "gifted" children.

But what is the truth? As a traverser, it is extremely easy to complete a grade skip or dominate the whole grade in terms of grades. It's just that since her goal was not here in the first place (to become a top student), then of course she would not make such a choice.

Therefore, the current Miss Shuhua actually has different degrees of water release in every exam.

As for the classroom, in order not to be idle and waste time in class, Miss Shue is studying "outside of class" in any cultural class except physical education class, handicraft class, etc., which must be practiced - either by self-study of the Japanese language (Japanese) higher than her own grade, or by reading some Japanese books independently: Japanese history, Japanese geography, Japanese novels, Japanese poetry, ...... Shue is learning as much as possible about the culture of this country.

Since the soul that lives in the body of a little girl named "Nanpu Shue" is the soul of a woman with decades of experience and not the soul of a little girl of the same age, Shuhua certainly does not have the frizz of "peers". Therefore, even if it is a somewhat boring classroom self-study day after day, the number drawing can carry it out from the beginning to the end.

This also makes the number of paintings, which are only elementary school students, actually far ahead of their peers in "learning". And this is destined to make it so that even if she goes to middle school, she can have enough spare time to do what she wants to do.

When I was in elementary school, I was able to enjoy the benefits of the "scholarship" given by the school as a number drawing that skipped one level (compared to my peers) and never fell out of the top three in my grade, and although the scholarship was not much, it was better than nothing. At the very least, there is absolutely no problem with the scholarship to pay for the books necessary for elementary school, and there is still a lot of money left.

In addition, Shuhua doesn't care much about the need for "materials" - of course, she can't want cute clothes, toys, dolls and the like like ordinary little girls. This also makes Nanpu Sparrow actually save a lot of expenses.

Therefore, the number painting that tasted the sweetness in elementary school actually existed in my heart, even if I went to junior high school, I would get a scholarship to reduce the financial pressure on my family. So, as far as Shuhua is concerned, if she can, she wants to go to some public schools that have a scholarship system - after all, it's tuition-free.

Not...... But when it comes to junior high school, in fact, she is also hesitating now, which middle school should she go to?

Now that the goal of struggle has been determined, to re-show his grandfather, the mahjong of Nanpu Queshi, in front of the world, then the national stage is indispensable - although it is said that you can also wait until high school to find a powerful school and add it as a main force. But those days are far too long ago.

So...... Give it a try and see if you can look forward to it when you were in junior high school......

Then the stage of the whole country!

So, if you can go to a school that can get a scholarship and have a mahjong club, it would be perfect.

―――――――――――――――― dividing line

For Shue, the thing that deserves her to call her lucky happened when she was hesitating which middle school to enroll.

One afternoon, after playing mahjong in the multi-purpose room, when everyone was about to pack up and go home, Xilu, who was encouraged by her aunt's eyes, plucked up the courage to walk to Shue's side and asked her, "That...... Counting and painting classmates. Have you decided which high school you want to attend now? ”

Shue shook his head and said, "No." ”

After hearing Shue's answer, Xilu felt a little happy in her heart, and she said to Shue, "So...... Have you ever heard of 'Prefectural Kamimatsu Middle School'? ”

“…… Heard of it, so what's so special about it? Of course, she knows something about this public high school, which is one of the best in Nagano Prefecture.

Academic resources are still okay, although it seems that there are not too many scholarships, but fortunately, the students' degree of freedom is relatively high - overall not bad.

But now, she wanted to hear what Dawn would say in particular.

"Hmmm! What about this middle school...... It is a school with good academic ability, and more importantly, a complete mahjong club! ”

“…… Oh? ”
