43. Do you think I still have a chance?
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and when Toru Watanabe went to swim in the civic pool at night, he found that there were a lot more people, and it was no longer realistic to swim back and forth for 50 meters without stopping.
He had to give up prostitution and get a swimming card for the gym.
On the afternoon of Monday, May 26, it suddenly rained heavily in Tokyo.
Within seconds, the otherwise clear sky was cloudy, and water droplets filled the entire window pane with a crackling sound.
Toru Watanabe, who was taking a modern society class, didn't bring an umbrella, but he was in a good mood, and he had the impression that it hadn't rained for a long time, so it was a long time since he had seen it.
Mr. Inoue, who teaches modern society, stopped, looked out the window, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and turned on the fluorescent lamp.
The dimly lit classrooms have a warm atmosphere.
"It's an economic phenomenon that is uncommon but has always existed, for example, in 1994 on Wall ......Street."
After the course.
"Wow, it's raining heavily."
"It's supposed to be a rainy season, right?"
"It's also possible that it's just an ordinary summer rainstorm."
"Stupid! It's only May, and it's not really summer yet, so how can it be a summer rainstorm! β
Keisuke Saito and Osamu Kunii were by the window, arguing about meaningless things.
Toru Watanabe packed his school bag: "Do you want to go?" β
"It's coming, it's coming!" The two hurried back to their seats and grabbed their school bags.
The three of them went to the club building together, and on the way, they heard many people talking about the sudden rainstorm, and the whole campus was full of peace and ease.
Walking through the overhead corridor to the club building, the three of them each went to their own activity room, which might be more appropriate to call it a self-study room before the end of the midterm exams.
In the activity classroom of the Human Observation Department on the fifth floor, Miki Kujou fell asleep on the sofa, and estimated the time, she probably didn't go to class in the afternoon.
She usually looks high, but when she sleeps, she is very ordinary, her whole body curled up, and she still holds a pillow in her arms.
Around the couch, brand-new comics and light novels are scattered all over the floor, the tea in the cup is still warm, and the TV shows the settlement of Mario Kart.
The game ID named "Miki Kujo" is ranked first.
Toru Watanabe walked to her seat as she looked at it, and the sound of pulling open the steel pipe chair woke her up.
"Watanabe? Make another sound to kill you. Kujou Mihime's eyes didn't open, and she whispered a word in her mouth, hugging the pillow harder and continuing to sleep.
It's not a small gas to get up.
Toru Watanabe was decisively quiet.
Not to mention Kujou Miki, who has a bad temper, even the character of a usually good person, once he gets up and gets angry, he will have the urge to kill people and even destroy the world.
When he took out "Spanish Grammar and Vocabulary" from his school bag, Rin Kiyono walked in with a light step, and frowned slightly at the sight of the mess all over the ground.
The movement of her pulling open the steel tube chair was softer than that of Toru Watanabe, and the sound she made was so small that it didn't wake up Miki Kujo.
After taking her seat, Rin Kiyono took out her book and read it as usual.
This time it's the all-English "Animal Encyclopedia: Dolphins".
When Toru Watanabe went to Kii Kuni Shoya on Sunday, he saw this book, but it was an island version translated by Ito Seiichi.
Because he wasn't interested in dolphins, and the "Tokyo handsome guy" didn't need to know about dolphins, he didn't watch it.
The three of them listened to the sound of the rain, each reading an encyclopedia, learning Spanish, and sleeping until a deafening thunder woke up Miki Kujou.
She sat on the couch on her knees, staring blankly into the void before she said, "Watanabe, bring me grapes." β
"I'm studying."
"Bang!" Toru Watanabe grabbed the pillow that flew over, and there was still the residual fragrance of Miki Kujo on it.
"Go." The girl who had lost her pillow commanded, and fell down again.
Toru Watanabe dissatisfied, put the pillow under his buttocks, ready to be used as a cushion.
Anyway, the steel tube chair is not comfortable to sit on, and it is not too hot to turn on the air conditioner in summer.
He stood up and walked towards the refrigerator: "I'll help you with the work, why don't you give some wages, don't say tens of millions of yen, how can you get a million yen a month?" β
Kujou Miki let out a lazy yawn and ignored him.
The luxurious refrigerator door opens, and inside it is a variety of washed fresh fruits, as well as sweets that Tokumi Watanabe has never seen before.
He picked up the plate with the grapes, walked over to the couch, and placed it on the small table.
Kujo Miki picked up the grapes and dragged a few from the bottom, her hands full of them.
"Here, your salary."
Her hands look slender, but in fact, they are only because of the good proportions, but they are actually only the hands of little girls, that is, Toru Watanabe's salary and the grapes in her hands are only four in total.
"Miss Kujou-sama, I'm also a man with backbone...... I'm sorry. β
Kujou Mihime's eyebrows raised slightly, and she glanced at Toru Watanabe, so Toru Watanabe obediently took the "salary" from her.
Seeing his aggrieved appearance, Miki Kujou ate grapes very happily, and then played Mario Kart with her feet.
And Toru Watanabe took these four watery grapes and sat angrily on the pillow that Kujou Miki was holding just now.
He imagined himself sitting on Kujou's face as a way to alleviate the pain and forget about it.
Isn't this Mr. Lu Xun's method of spiritual victory? Haven't I become Ah Q now? No, no, no! β
Toru Watanabe came to his senses, quickly stuffed a grape in his mouth, and began to study Spanish seriously.
The grapes were delicious, sweet but not creamy, and had plenty of moisture, so Watanabe couldn't help but eat the second one.
As he was shoving it into his mouth, he noticed Rin Kiyono's gaze.
"You want to eat?" Toru Watanabe handed over the grapes in his hand.
As soon as the words fell, Kujou Miji's voice came along with the sound of rain outside the window: "If you dare to give what I gave you to others, I will let you jump from here." β
"This is the fifth floor."
"Too low? As high as you want to jump, I can build it for you. β
β...... Is your generosity in the wrong place? β
"The settling-in allowance for those who died in the line of duty has always been very high." Miki Kujo's manipulated game character is far ahead, and keeps throwing banana peels at the back, "You can also take the opportunity to sponsor Kamigawa High School on the condition that the school rules that students must join the club are changed." β
Toru Watanabe looked at Rin Kiyono, "I'm sorry, but I can only eat this grape by myself." β
Rin Kiyono put down the book and sighed, "Watanabe-san, where did you see that I wanted to eat grapes?" β
"Then what do you think I'm doing?"
"I just think you seem to enjoy the Nine Commands, don't you like that? Did I use the wrong method before? β
Watching Rin Kiyono begin to think seriously, Watanabe was full of black lines.
Who likes to be ordered! If he hadn't had parents, he would have killed Mihime Kujou and left!
"This is the job, and it is the duty of the subordinates to obey orders." He said angrily.
"I see, I don't deny that I like to be ordered."
"I have nothing to say to you."
Toru Watanabe stuffed the two grapes in his mouth together, his cheeks bulging like squirrels.
After a short and unpleasant chat, the activity classroom returned to silence, except for the exceptionally loud sound of rain outside the window.
When it was time for school to leave, the days and nights had already begun to fall, but the sky in the corridors and outside the window was dark.
The sharp rain arrows that shot at the ground made a cold sound.
There was a chill in the air.
Toru Watanabe stood in the lobby on the first floor, thinking about how to go back, and the fact that Tamamo had signed in - today is exactly one month.
"What should I do?"
"The rain has been non-stop, and I knew I wouldn't bring musical instruments to school."
"Will you call your family to pick them up?"
"My parents don't come home until late."
"Me too."
"Then let my father give you a ride?"
"Senior sister is the best~~"
Behind him, there were three girls with musical instruments.
Toru Watanabe looked at one of the petite girls, and sure enough, he saw the name "Hanada Asako" on the box containing the cello.
This is the girl that Osamu Kunii likes, he thought to himself.
The three of them approached, saw Toru Watanabe through the dim light, and subconsciously lowered their voices.
A little girl named Asako Hanada, who was a little shy because of Toru Watanabe's gaze, blocked his vision with a cello case.
Toru Watanabe turned his head to look at the rain, and it would be bad if he was misunderstood.
After a while, Rin Kiyono, who went to return the key to the activity classroom, also changed his shoes and walked to the eaves of the porch.
"You didn't bring an umbrella either?"
"Someone stole it." Rin Kiyono's tone was a little indignant.
"Stole?"
Rin Kiyono said unwillingly: "I put an umbrella in the place where the umbrella was placed at the school for a long time, and it is gone. β
"Ahaha."
Toru Watanabe's hearty laughter attracted the students who were waiting for the rain around, and he was so happy because it was rare for Rin Kiyono to suffer.
Rin Kiyono glared at him, and looked helplessly at the rainstorm that had no sign of stopping.
Because he had nothing to do, Toru Watanabe, who was in a good mood, chatted with her, showing off that he knew the cause of the rainy season.
"Cold air from the north meets warm air from the south in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China, forming a lingering quasi-stationary front that extends eastward from the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to the island nation. This precipitation that lasts for a month or more is called the rainy season. β
Rin Kiyono pressed her temples with a headache.
"I really admire that you can repeat the textbook knowledge in a triumphant tone. Also, I've had enough of the rain, so please stop talking about it. β
"It's called the right time."
"Most people call it 'can't read the air.'"
"Is that so?"
"Watanabe-san, I suggest you cut your hair shorter."
"It's a long time?" Toru Watanabe brushed the bangs at the center of his eyebrows, not yet past his eyebrows.
"No, it will make you look smarter."
β......β
"Hee-hee-hee." There was a crisp snickering of the three members of the wind club like musical instruments.
Toru Watanabe said angrily, "I'm smart enough that I have no intention of getting smarter." β
"If you say something like that, you're not smart enough."
[You have a new email]
Toru Watanabe was silent, not that he couldn't say that he couldn't say that he couldn't do it, but that the monthly sign-in gift was very important, after all, it was related to whether he could defeat the Kujo family with trillions of assets.
Again, he didn't hold back.
But if he must have said that he coaxed it, Toru Watanabe also admitted it.
After all, everyone, please think about it, sometimes you can be cowardly when you should be cowardly, and it is also a kind of talent.

Toru Watanabe picked up his phone and dialed Miki's phone number in Kujo - which he saved after answering the phone on Saturday.
"What's the matter?"
Kujou Miki's impatient voice came.
"Watanabe, do you think Miss Ben just needs to study like you? I have to deal with work every day that you can't finish in a lifetime! β
"If it's nothing important, I advise you to start thinking about the reasons why I won't punish you tomorrow."
"Kujo, no, Mihime, do you think I still have a chance?"
β...... Ha? β
