Kitagawa parked her car in front of a five-story apartment building built in the mid-nineties. And Shuichi Minamino, who was waiting here early, was not only a first-year master's student in the Faculty of Letters at Waseda University, but also helped his teacher Takeshita Kusaoji to find such a place that only took about ten minutes to walk to school from Muina.

"The teacher is good, the teacher is good. And Mina-chan, hello! Shuichi Minamino, whose eyes became short-sighted and put on a pair of half-rimmed glasses, had a smile on his face that was born from the heart. He was dressed as Si Swenwen, and his expression also revealed confidence.

"Brother Xiuyi is good." When she got out of the car, she was still holding Sluby with both hands, and she didn't just treat it as a doll, but as her only friend. He bowed to him for a moment, and then greeted him with a sweet smile.

Nodding to her again, Shuichi Minamino, who responded to the word "good", came straight to the Beetle. He helped the teacher and his wife to take the lead and carry things, and walked in the front. He led their family of three upstairs. In all fairness, among the teacher's three daughters, Mina is his favorite, after all, he sees the shadow of his personal past in her.

Shuichi Minamino, who opened the innermost door on the fifth floor with a key, cleaned the house in advance. This is a two-bedroom, one-bedroom, one-bathroom and one-kitchen, and the suite area is 50 square meters. Houses of this size and layout are the mainstream of the most ordinary families in Japan. Although it is located in a remote location from the center of Tokyo and the sub-center of Tokyo, the rent is not too cheap. Of course, this is for students like themselves who are enrolled in college.

Even if Shuichi Minamino's family background is considered a standard middle class in Japan, he is not rich in money and does not have too much savings. Although their parents who work in Kyoto each have a decent job and the annual family income is not less than 10 million yen, they need to raise their two siblings and pay off the mortgage for 30 years...... What's more, studying at a university in Japan is really expensive.

In addition, Tokyo has a higher level of consumption than Kyoto, and there are many temptations...... As a result, people living here feel that they are not afraid of having many personal hobbies, but they are afraid that they will have no money. If you have money, you live in heaven and have what you want, and if you don't have money, you live in hell and you want nothing. Even if my monthly living expenses are slightly higher than the average of all students at Waseda University, I often struggle with money.

Even if my sister finishes her undergraduate degree here and finds a decent and formal job, she is still stretched thin to meet her monthly expenses. The monthly income of about 200,000 yen is really not enough for a young girl who loves food, fun, fashion, and beauty.

If you rent an apartment of 50 square meters and live alone in an apartment that is a little closer to the company, you will be living beyond your means. Even if her parents secretly sent her some money every month to make up for it, it couldn't stop her from getting more and more credit cards, and the bank debt was only rising. Sometimes, the old lady even borrowed money from him.

As for borrowing it, it's basically a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return. For this reason, Shuichi Minamino really can't help it. If she said that she would not borrow, the old lady began to play the sad card and shouted, so she could only go to the nightclub to accompany the wine, and make money in the custom store. Every good word persuaded her to save money, but in exchange for "at her age, what college students who have just graduated from the United States and are working are rich without debt, and the average debt per capita is 40,000 US dollars" to cope and prevaricate.

I told her that this is Japan, not the United States, and the old lady will say, "If she doesn't dress up well while she is old, she will grow old at any time." Actually, the individual is pitiful. Although I work in an office building, I am miserable under the glamorous beauty. It's inevitable that girls who work together will compare with each other. If they don't fit in, they will be isolated and ostracized" and so on. In short, she is a working person who is much worse than a person who is a master's student.

"Teacher, isn't it too wronged to let you live here with Mina?" Nanno Shuichi, who deeply feels that this place does not meet the teacher's identity as a national writer, although he did this for the other party, it still seems that he has done something wrong. Ever since he met his teacher in Kyoto, he has been the most admirer. For this reason, I have never wavered in my heart.

Takeshita Grass Mustard, who entered the house, put down the large bags and small bags he brought, looked around on the other hand, and smiled: "Not aggrieved." I think it's nice and very kind. By the way, Shuichi, I've already read the novella you sent. In terms of objective evaluation, it's still good. You can make your official debut with this work. After I get this place straightened out, I will not only call the president of Mustard Press, but I will also write you a preface myself. ”

Of course, Shuichi Minamino knows that Miyuki Kitagawa made her official debut before herself. Although he also bought a copy of "My Dad" to read at home, he really didn't think she wrote well. Aside from her fourteen-year-old age and the genius of the beautiful girl writer, all that remains is to tell the reader in the book about some personal and teacher's past private memories.

Shuichi Minamino, who bowed deeply at 90 degrees to the teacher, said with tears in his excited eyes: "Thank you for your years of cultivation and support." If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have the Shuichi Minamino I am today. To this day, I'm afraid everyone will continue to call me stupid Shuichi. ”

"Brother Xiuyi, you used to be called a fool by everyone?" A pair of eyes were open to the boss, Kitagawa Mina, not only staring at him deadly, but also completely in disbelief.

"Yes! I remember vividly that the first time I was called that was in kindergarten! Since then, people have used to calling me that. Shuichi Minamino, who is about to become a new writer, recalls the bitterness of the past.

"At home, I was called a big fool by my two sisters. Not only that, but they called me ugly. "It's Kitagawa Mina, who has found a bosom friend, and she can say whatever she wants.

Shuichi Minamino, who squatted in front of her, knew and seen Miyuki's high IQ and Miyu, and was the most able to understand Mina's pain, after all, he had experienced it one by one. He was very kind with a smile, although he saw that the teacher loved this daughter the most, but he didn't deliberately please the other party in front of him.

He just reciprocated like the teacher gave him the encouragement at the beginning: "Mina, Brother Shuichi thinks that you are neither a big fool nor an ugly monster." You are the best. (To be continued.) )
