46. Who is having fun in life?
"Gentle, macho, considerate, single-minded, kind, intelligent, athletic."
Toru Watanabe wrote such label-like notes in his notebook.
After doing this, he first went to the gym where he had a swimming card. Due to the rainy days, there are more than half of the people here than usual.
Toru Watanabe swam ten times in the 50-meter-long pool, took a shower in the gym bathroom, and then set off for Shinjuku to buy books at Kino Bookstore.
There are bookstores around, but there are more complete books and a lot of variety, and there are some off-the-beaten-path books like "How to Seduce a Daughter" that he wants.
There were no empty seats in the car, so Toru Watanabe leaned against the inside door and looked at the Spanish vocabulary he had put together.
When the train passed by Shinjuku Gyoen-mae Station, a little girl wearing a Kamigawa High School uniform with a heavy musical instrument came up, and Toru Watanabe subconsciously glanced at it.
It's Asako Hanada holding a cello.
Toru Watanabe thought about it, isn't this the time to embody "gentleness" and "understanding"? So I reached out and helped take it, but I almost didn't hold it steady.
"I'm sorry." He said hurriedly.
Hanada Asako, whose little face turned red, hurriedly waved his hand: "No, it's on my side." ”
"It's pretty heavy." Toru Watanabe puts the instrument at his feet to prevent collisions.
"No, it's not, the instrument is not heavy, mainly the case. However, this can be very protective for the cello. ”
"What did you say?" Hanada Asako's voice was so small that Toru Watanabe couldn't hear it at all.
Hanada Asako put her hands on her chest and took a deep breath. This action startled Toru Watanabe, thinking that she was going to shout in the train.
As a result, Hanada Asako's volume repeated without any change at all.
Toru Watanabe, who still didn't hear clearly, said, "Uh-huh, that's it." ”
I'm so gentle that I probably don't need to spend money on books on how to be gentle." Toru Watanabe thought as he continued to look at the vocabulary book over and over again.
Hanada Asako, who was originally very small, and lowered his head because of shyness, didn't realize that the chat was over at all.
She struggled for a moment and introduced herself in a low voice: "I, I'm Hanada Asako in the first class of the second year, thank you for your help." ”
After a short pause, she felt that she had to dominate the topic as a senior sister, and plucked up the courage to continue:
"I'm going to the piano shop to learn the piano, and I'm going back now. The exam is coming soon, so where are you going to go so late, Watanabe-senpai? ”
"Huh? Uh-huh, that's right. ”
Hanada Asako's brain is in turmoil.
'What to do!' Why can Watanabe-san be so perfunctory to his seniors! What am I going to do? ’
Tram arrival: "Next stop, Shinjuku 3-chome, Shinjuku 3-chome." ”
Toru Watanabe put away his vocabulary book and said hello "gently" as he walked out of the carriage, "Hanada-san, see you tomorrow." ”
"Huh?" Hanada Asako's petite body trembled like a bunny.
'See you tomorrow?' Why?! And I didn't say the time and place... What to do... I was entangled by a flirtatious junior...'
The train bound for Nakano Station drove away with the chaotic Hanada Asako, and Toru Watanabe was completely unaware of it.
The next day is the last day before the midterm exams, and the school arranges for students to study on their own. If you want to relax your brain, you can sleep, and if you want to sharpen your gun, you can go to the teacher to solve your doubts.
In conclusion, each student can get through the final period in their own way.
During the lunch break, the trio of Toru Watanabe overlooked the atrium from the balcony.
"Why not a sailor suit?" Toru Watanabe with a strawberry milk straw in his mouth.
"Watanabe, if you like sailor suits, why don't you go to Bright High School?" Keisuke Saito tears open the packaging of the rice balls.
Osamu Kunii, who was munching on fried noodle bread, said: "That's right, the first thing to refer to when going to school is whether the school uniform is handsome!" I'm here for Kamikawa's Western-style school uniform. ”
"In the sailor suit, where we are now, we might be able to see the girl's chest."
"......" Keisuke Saito's eyes widened, "Is that okay?!" ”
"The collar of the sailor's suit is loose, right? Bend over what, you think. ”
"Abominable ——!!!" Kunii Shu roared angrily, "Watanabe, why didn't you say it earlier!" Why didn't you say it earlier! ”
"That's right! I've had enough of Kamigawa uniforms! The neckline should be tied with a bow all year round! Isn't it hot?!! ”
It's a girl who ties the bow, right, what the hell do you want to do?
Toru Watanabe looked at a certain schoolgirl in the atrium, no matter how she looked, whether she was bending over or sitting there, the bow perfectly protected her collarbone.
The school uniform, which is not shown by the chain bones, has no need to exist at all!
Keisuke Saito suddenly said: "But being conservative also has the advantage of being conservative, we can't look at other people's girlfriends, and others can't look at our girlfriends." ”
"Do we have a girlfriend?" Toru Watanabe asked.
The trio fell silent for a moment.
Toru Watanabe changed the subject: "Kunii, how are you?" And the one of the wind club. ”
"yes, is there any progress?" Keisuke Saito also asked.
"Ugh." Osamu Kunii sighed.
"Failed again?"
"It's not." Osamu Kunii ate his bread, "I haven't spoken yet." But ah, Hanada Asako is a senior sister, so it must be very difficult, I think I'd better find a girl in the same grade first. ”
"Ah, it's easier." Keisuke Saito nodded in agreement.
"Looking for it first? What the hell do you think of love? Toru Watanabe said.
Osamu Kunii replied, "Of course I want to like only one person, but I have to take into account the actual situation. ”
"What is the actual situation? I think Asako Hanada is very cute. Toru Watanabe thought about Asako Hanada on the train last night.
"That's right! It's because she's cute! ”
"What's wrong with cute?" Keisuke Saito asked.
"Come to think of it, I like her because she's cute, right? But there are so many cute girls in the world, and it's hard for me to control myself from disliking them! ”
“...... You go and die. Keisuke Saito said angrily.
"Watanabe, you understand me, right? It's like the mood you are in the mood of hesitation between Kiyono-san and Kujo-san! ”
"Don't get involved with me." Toru Watanabe couldn't stand it anymore, "I'm a 'single-minded warrior' and you're not a fellow of the flowers. ”
"'Single-minded warriors'? When did you change jobs?! ”
"Last night."
The other two were about to complain when Toru Watanabe's cell phone rang.
"Hey."
"Bring me something to eat."
"You can't ...... it yourself"
"Duh... Duh..."
Toru Watanabe put down his phone, and the other two people who leaned over to eavesdrop immediately asked, "Watanabe, what does this guy have to do with Rin Kiyono and Mihime Kujo?" ”
"What relationship? Rin Kiyono wants me to like her, and I'm pursuing Miki Kujo, and Miki Kujo wants to make Rin Kiyono angry through me. ”
Toru Watanabe didn't lie, but he didn't tell the truth either.
"Explode now!"
"The surname Watanabe can't die well!"
"Hey, apologize to the world surnamed Watanabe! They don't have to be cash-in, maybe they're just like you! Okay, I've got to go get something to eat for the eldest lady. Toru Watanabe said this triumphantly on the surface, but in fact, in his heart, he had scolded Kujou Mihime who called him at will a hundred times from head to toe.
Seeing that the other two had no good lunch and wanted to kill, Toru Watanabe smiled.
Being good at finding joy in a life of hardship and always maintaining an optimistic and positive attitude is also one of the things that my Watanabe future is destined to be great. ’
Wait, will Rin-Kiyono, that woman with a boring life, also take me for fun? ’
The faces of the trio suddenly synchronized again.
