10. Decide to be a handsome Tokyo guy in this life
After the end of the monthly test exam, we will enter the small long holiday commonly known as Golden Week, which will last from April 29 to May 5.
Toru Watanabe went to Beijing on a day when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and in a blink of an eye, the cherry blossoms had withered, and the trees were covered with emerald green leaves, and a month had passed.
It's time to plant rice in my hometown.
Every year during this season, Toru Watanabe's parents would go out at 4 a.m. to plant rice seedlings, and they would spend the rest of the day in the fields except for a break at noon.
When he was a child, because he was smart, his parents felt sorry for him, and if he wanted to help, he would be asked to stay at home to read books or go to play. When he grew up a little, the village bought a rice transplanter, and his physical strength was also wasted, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to help weed.
He couldn't bend over for long periods of time, the sharpness of the weeds could easily cut through his skin, the leeches greedily sucked his blood, and the gadfly hovered over his head.
"Actually, I can still grow potatoes."
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was good for nothing but reading, and Toru Watanabe defended himself.
Although planting potatoes only requires cutting them, digging holes, burying them, and then going to the mountains to pick up dead leaves and spread them on top.
Before the holiday, Toru Watanabe talked to his family on the phone and said that he would stay in Tokyo to work during this Golden Week and go back during the summer vacation.
Putting on his private clothes, Toru Watanabe took a train to the entrance of Shinjuku and found a Walgo clothing store where he worked part-time.
"Is it called Toru Watanabe? Your job is to stand at the intersection in front of you, just hold up a billboard. You can take a little rest when you're tired, but not for too long, got it? ”
"Understood."
The crossroads where the Walgo clothing store is located is the entrance to Shinjuku Bar Street, and you can observe almost all the women entering and exiting from it.
But a few hours of billboards......
Toru Watanabe had wanted to get a job surveying traffic volumes, sitting there and counting pedestrians and vehicles with counters, but unfortunately there were no such coincidences.
There is part-time job of traffic volume survey, but it is not at this intersection.
If you don't look for a job, a first-year high school student who has been staying close to the red light district will definitely be interrogated by the police.
And while looking for someone and working at the same time, he can still earn money, and he only has more than 4,000 yen left.
This kind of hard work can earn a lot more than a mall employee.
Although he has points on his body that can be exchanged for a lot of money, he wants to save them for intelligence, physical strength, and charm, and there are still two days until May, so maybe he will have the skills he wants by then.
Toru Watanabe held a billboard and stood at the corner of the street where people came and went. In addition to him, there are already guys in doll costumes and handing out flyers, and these people are doing the same job.
There are a lot of people coming and going, and it's not practical to use [detectors] for every woman who walks by.
It's not okay if you're not young, it's not okay if you're not beautiful, it's not okay if you're not single, and it's not okay if you're not open enough to dress up.
"Handsome guy, do you want to go to the café together?"
"Huh~~? Fortunately, this little handsome guy looks like a high school student! ”
"As long as you're handsome, maybe you're still a virgin~~!"
Toru Watanabe looked at the woman in front of him who was talking to him, her shirt was open, and her collarbone was boldly exposed, which was very seductive and looked quite beautiful.
[Character: Yuki Kuroda]
[Charm: 5]
【pass】
"I'm sorry, I'm working part-time. If you need to buy clothes, visit Walgo. ”
After saying that, Toru Watanabe bowed and walked away.
I was actually deceived by makeup!
According to his estimate, there should be six points of charm!
The woman named Yukie Kuroda tried to follow, but was pulled away by her companion who yelled, 'There is a police here'.
A female college student dressed as a maid and handing out flyers on the side smiled and said, "It's so popular." ”
"I just want to work quietly." Toru Watanabe smiled wryly.
This female college student is too, and since the first time we met just now, she has been looking for opportunities to talk to him.
Is sibling love popular in Tokyo? Or is it okay to be handsome?
Growing up in a remote village, there are five teachers and students in the school, and the age span is from the first to the third year of junior high school, and Toru Watanabe has never been so popular.
After coming to Tokyo, it was all kinds of love letters and conversations.
He suddenly remembered a line, in his previous life, Makoto Shinkai in the movie "Your Name":
"In the next life, please let me be a handsome guy in Tokyo."
Maybe that's how the life of a handsome guy in Tokyo is meant to be? Just his own fuss?
You'll have to adjust to your new identity.
Standing with sore legs and unable to lift his arms, Toru Watanabe used up three chances and failed to find a single target.
He has tried his best to pick the woman with the highest appearance to use the [detector], and the charm is five points except for Kuroda Yukie who took the initiative to talk to him just now, and the other two have a six o'clock and a seven o'clock, but they all show [pass].
I don't know if you have to reach eight points of charm, or if there are other hidden conditions that need to be met in addition to charm.
If you send the billboard back to the store and get your salary today, it will not be paid on a daily basis, but it is okay to be a part-time worker during Golden Week.
It took four hours to do it, and it was 5,200 yen in total.
The hourly wage is 1,300 yen, which is very high, but the work content is also hard.
Toru Watanabe felt that if he continued this job, it was only a matter of time before his physical strength increased to 4 o'clock, or even 5 o'clock.
But he is still too naïve and underestimates this society.
Women in society, especially those who go to Shinjuku bars, are all skilled in makeup, and their appearance is generally higher than the original level.
At a level that he can't see without makeup, it's a waste of points and time to come here to find a strategy target.
It's better to go to school, where makeup is expressly prohibited. No matter how beautiful a female student is, she only dares to wear light makeup and dye her hair a little.
All women above high school pass - Toru Watanabe, who knows that as soon as a woman graduates from high school, she will undergo earth-shaking changes like a silkworm chrysalis butterfly, so he made up his mind.
The 1,000 points spent on [Probe] include the money spent on buying a bento box at night - lunch is provided by a clothing store, and at the end of the day, it loses more than 9,000 yen.
So in the next six days of Golden Week, except for Naka, Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito who went to Akihabara for a walk, Toru Watanabe was working and studying, and no longer went to Shinjuku Kabuki to waste points.
In the early morning of May 1st, the game store was refreshed.
[Items: Detector (1 piece/1000), Healing Potion (1 pill/1000)]
[Money: 100 yen/1 point]
[Intelligence: 1 point/100,000 points]
[Charm: 1 point/10,000 points]
[Stamina: 1 point/5,000 points]
[Skills: Beginner - Flower Arrangement (100), Mastery - Cooking (1000), Mastery - Driving (10,000), Master - Free Fighting (100,000)]
Toru Watanabe carefully studied the new item [Healing Medicine], which, as its name suggests, can only heal injuries, not diseases.
But it's not bad, as long as you don't die immediately, and you have points, you can survive.
[Supplementary Provisions] Article 1 "The player's death has nothing to do with this game, and there is no obligation to resurrect", always giving him the feeling that this is not a simple love game.
In short, be prepared.
Next up are the five skills of the month, except for the "cooking" repetition, the remaining four are all new skills.
Toru Watanabe is interested in masterclass "kickboxing".
There's no man who isn't interested, right?
Even if you don't take the initiative to fight and make trouble, it's better to fight better than not to fight. As the so-called gentleman hides his weapon in his body, people must have the confidence that someone will not offend me and I will not offend others, and if someone offends me, I will have the confidence to die.
There is also mastery-level "cooking", according to the explanation of the [Supplementary Rules], it is enough to cook a good dish, and he can also say goodbye to the mall bento.
If you can't finish eating, you can bring it to school for lunch, and you can save a lot of money.
Wait, wait!
Instead of saving money, you should save points! What if you have better skills next time? For example, "free fighting", and "free fighting".
The master-level "free fight" Toru Watanabe really wants it!
He has enough reason to suspect that the game is tempting him to be a scumbag and work hard to earn points!
On May 3rd, 7 p.m.
【Number of days of sign-in: Tamamo is beautiful, one week】
【Players get the sign-in package】
【Money: 100,000 yen】
[Charm 50% off exchange coupon (player charm must be less than 10 points, and can only be exchanged for one point)]
The charm exchange point is 10,000 points, and the 500 discount is 5,000, and he only has 4,000 left, and he has to continue to exchange [Probe].
Otherwise, you can redeem a little and continue your studies on the road of "Tokyo Handsome Guy".
May 6th, the first day back to school.
In the morning class, both teachers and students have a sense of impetuousness that has not yet been detached from the holiday life.
At noon, the school bulletin board posted the monthly test rankings.
"Shall I take a look?" Keisuke Saito said to the other two.
"What's so nice about that kind of thing!" Osamu Kunii was dismissive.
From the conversation between the two, you can roughly estimate their usual ranking.
Keisuke Saito has the ability to compete for the top 20 in the whole school, which is the number of people who have been admitted to first-class schools in Kamigawa High School in the past, and Osamu Kunii's name has to be found from the back.
Toru Watanabe thought for a moment: "Wait twenty minutes, there are too many people going there now, and I can't squeeze in." ”
Twenty minutes later, the lunch break enters the second half, whether it is the cafeteria, the bakery, or the bulletin board, the crowd will disperse.
"Okay." Keisuke Saito nodded in agreement, then took out his phone and shared a game with the two.
Kunii Shu took a look at it and said, "This game, I've been playing, I advise you not to go into the pit!" ”
Keisuke Saito asked curiously, "Why?" ”
"I suspect it's false propaganda! SSR didn't put in the card pool at all! ”
"It's your bad luck." Toru Watanabe laughed.
"Nonsense! How could I be out of luck! Osamu Kunii firmly believes that it is the problem of the game company.
"That's right." Toru Watanabe remembered something from his home class, "Kunii, how are you and Naomi Yamaguchi?" ”
Kunii Shu smiled smugly and shyly: "Hehe, I've been chatting on LINE every day lately. ”
"You guy! Don't forget to treat! Keisuke Saito punched him.
"What treat?"
"You want to cheat? Didn't you say yes? Whoever has a girlfriend will be treated! ”
"No problem, no problem!"
Toru Watanabe was quiet at this time, and he and Tamamo were so beautiful...... Shouldn't it count?
The three of them chatted for a while, then got up and went to the bulletin board on the first floor, where three or four students were gathered.
Toru Watanabe started from the front.
"Order: One; Name: Rin Kiyono
All right.
"Order: two; Name: Miki Kujo"
“......”
"Order: Three; Name: Toru Watanabe
Fortunately, it kept its original ranking.
Obviously, if he works so hard, if he loses the ranking, he really has to pack his bags and go back to his hometown and kneel in front of his hard-working parents.
Keisuke Saito admired, "It's amazing, Watanabe!" If you have been in the top five, you can directly recommend admission to Tokyo University in the third year of high school! ”
"If you keep this strength up, you don't need to recommend admission." Toru Watanabe doesn't care.
Keisuke Saito nodded: "That's just as well." ”
"What's your number?"
"I thought I did a good job, but I turned out to be thirty-one. I'm going to go back and talk to my parents about enrolling in a cram school. ”
"Started enrolling in cram school in the first year of high school?"
"Step by step, Mr. Koizumi also said, 'It is important to start at the beginning.'"
Toru Watanabe nodded and looked at Osamu Kunii, who had not spoken: "Kunii, how did you do in the exam?" ”
Kunii Xiu cried with a sad face: "121." ”
There are a total of four classes in the first year of high school, with forty people in each class, and 121 students are considered to be at the bottom.
Toru Watanabe patted him on the shoulder: "Don't give up, the three of us can't pass the exam this time, work together and strive to improve in the next exam." ”
"You didn't do well in the exam?!" Osamu Kunii looked at Toru Watanabe angrily, and his loud voice attracted passers-by again.
"Kunii, during the Golden Week, I understand a truth."
"Human beings have limits, you don't plan to be human?"
Toru Watanabe shook his head and said solemnly: "As a handsome guy in Tokyo, even if I can't get the first grade, I have to keep improving, so that I can be attractive." ”
"Get out!"
