In the third year of Hanaha Middle School, Mayi Soda packed his schoolbag, looked at the half-red clouds outside the window, and sighed.

"Oooo

The bells of "Fade of Sunset" echoed in the low buildings.

Most of the students chose to go home after school, and some students were serious about preparing for the exams in school because of the upcoming high school exams.

The same goes for Mayi Sada, she has nothing to do when she goes home early, so she might as well read a book at school for a while, and then go home before dark to cook.

But when she heard the sunset fading, Mayoshi Sata couldn't help but stand up and look out the window, just as the sun was about to set into the city skyline.

"Sunset Fading", also known as Yuki Koyaki, is a nursery rhyme written by Yuhong Nakamura in 1919 and composed by Nobu Kusakawa in 1923.

The reason for the daily broadcast is actually different from what most people think, because the island country has many disasters, so in order to warn before the disaster or after the incident, so the radio emergency system was established in the early part of the last century, whether it is TV or mobile phone network, it is not as effective as the loudspeaker that can be heard with your own ears.

So every day at around 5 p.m., in order to check whether the PA system is operating, some simple music will be played to judge the operation of the system.

Among the 23 wards of Tokyo, most of the wards have chosen "Sunset Fading" as the examination song, although it is the same song, but "Sunset Fading" in each ward has a lot of differences, some are simple piano sounds, some are singing versions, some are ensemble versions, some are re-arranged, and so on.

Over time, after several generations of implementation, "Fade of Sunset" has other explanations in the memory of the crowd - because the playing time overlaps with the children's school play and the office workers' time after work, and the melody is sad, so it is extended to urge people to go home. It's time to get off work, after school, stop playing outside, and get home quickly.

It is similar to playing the saxophone "Homecoming" in some city squares in China.

"Mayi, let's go home together~" A petite figure suddenly hugged Mayi Sada from behind.

This is a girl with a ponytail on the back of her head, her eyes are like peach blossoms, she hugs Sada's waist, rubs her cheeks back and forth on Sada's cheeks, and her delicate little face has a small upturned nose, and her eyes will hang slightly when she smiles and narrows, like a little fox.

"Meixi, don't hug it, it's so itchy!" Sada's snap knocked off Miyu's little hand in Utahara, that is, there was no one else in the classroom, if Miki dared to do this in front of everyone, she would definitely make Miyu's forehead a big bag.

Mayi Sada's weakness is itchy meat, only the hands and face are not all over the body, and everything else is itchy meat!

When you are touched, you want to laugh!

was beaten off by Sada Shinyi, and Utahara Miyu was not angry at all, she covered her chest with a smile: "Ah, it's so hurt, the ruthless Sada actually abandoned Miyu like this...... I'm so scared, the exam is coming soon, and the exam for junior high school is terrible. ”

Soda Mayi pouted: "What are you afraid of, high school is also a compulsory education, and if you can't get good grades, you ......"

"It's different, Sada!" Utahara Miki pointed to her head, "My family has to let me get good grades in exams and go to a private high school, and they don't want me to go to a public high school in Adachi Ward...... But I don't have that academic ability at all. ”

The island country also implements a zoning enrollment system, but because the educational strength of public county high schools is generally poor, it cannot be compared with private schools, so there is no problem of school district housing.

In this case, although there is no school district room, it shows the factors behind the housing of Huaguo School District - capital, if you have capital, you will go directly to an expensive private school to receive education, get ahead in the future, be admitted to a good university, or be gifted to be admitted to a private high school for free tuition, and get a scholarship every year, as for those who have no money, they will be troubled to receive a happy education in a public school, from the first year of high school to the third year of high school, and then those who should be housewives should be housewives, and those who should be NHK toll collectors should be NHK toll collectors, and the mainstream of society has nothing to do with you.

This is evident in the number of private schools, with nine metropolitan high schools in Adachi Ward and only two private schools, one of which is still a girls' school.

Thinking about Utahara Miyu's academic performance, Sada Mayi nodded approvingly, at the level of his only good friend, it is still difficult to go to a private high school, as for spending money, if you have money, you will go to a private school as early as junior high school.

"So, save me, Almighty Miss Zhenyi."

Brushing aside the face of Miki Utahara, Mayi Sada said without curiosity: "My own grades are hard to guarantee, how can I have the ability to let you go to a private high school." ”

Utahara Miki blinked her eyes, and finally squeezed out a little tear: "I didn't expect you to tutor me, you didn't do as well as me in the last exam, I mean, let's go to the shrine on the weekend and pray for the gods to bless us, and bless us with good results in the exam." ”

"Hearing your powerful prayers, the gods will only punish you, and you don't usually do prayers, and you will do something early in the morning."

Utahara Mixi tugged Sada's hand: "There is such a thing as a god, it's good to go once in the New Year, if I can really manifest my spirit in this exam, I will definitely ...... Give half of my pocket money this month as a sincere dedication to the gods. ”

"You're bribing the gods."

"How can it be, let's go to Meiji Jingu, it's a big shrine, it's very effective!"

Looking at Miyuki Uchihara's expectant eyes, Sada Mayi sighed and nodded, his friend is really careless in dealing with the gods, and looking at her appearance, she still has a dispensable attitude towards the gods.

And Sada is different, she has already lived with monsters, so it's really hard to say whether there are gods in the world or not!

"Then it's decided, I'll go to Meiji Jingu tomorrow!"

"The day after tomorrow." Sada Mayi said calmly, "I still have something to do tomorrow." ”

Although she didn't want to, she had to go to the hospital in Yamanashi Prefecture tomorrow, and as a family member of the patient, she had not been there since the beginning, and now the Yamanashi Prefecture Hospital had repeatedly called and urged her to come and sign.

Some things still have to be faced.
