Chapter Seventy-Six: You Want to Play the Guitar? (2-in-1)
The days after the concert were quite uneventful, Taku Takenaka went to work at the pet clinic after school every day, working as a nurse on one side and tutoring Megumi with homework on the other. The two tasks of studying and working part-time are carried out at the same time, and neither is left behind. Sometimes Megumi doesn't come, Dr. Sugino will discuss issues with him—but most of these questions have less to do with studying, more to do with future visions, dreams, and the like.
Naturally, it is quite good to target the Department of Political Science and Law of the University of Tokyo, and for any neon high school student, this is probably an unattainable ultimate goal. Taku Takenaka felt that he should be quite promising, although there was no guarantee of 100% admission - but there was still a 50% or 60% certainty, so if he couldn't do it, he would retreat to the next best thing and go to the political science and law department of another university, and then he would be able to go out and find a job as a graduate of a well-known university.
Dr. Sugino seems to have been a top student in the past, and it seems that he graduated from Nagoya University. Although the conversation looks like an ordinary person, it seems to have a lot of connotation when you think about it carefully.
Of course, Taku Takenaka felt that he was thinking too much, as if Mr. Lu Xun's good night could be explained a lot of meaning, if he didn't know that the doctor was a graduate of a famous school, he would definitely not think that he had any deep meaning in what he said.
…… If you get rid of the fact that he always wants to match himself and Hui Yizi, the other places are quite good.
The doctor sometimes told him interesting things that happened in college, but most of the time he couldn't get a laugh, so he had to squeeze an awkward smile. After going back and forth like this, the doctor seemed to be bored and stopped talking to him.
Then, Dr. Sugino includes how to deal with interpersonal relationships and other things, as well as some troublesome problems encountered when running a pet clinic, in short, some tedious things that are not of much use, and he talks to him when he has nothing to do, such as a boss complaining to a subordinate, or a casual chat between friends.
The doctor is indeed a very good person, but the only drawback is probably that he likes to drink, and even if he drinks endlessly, it is not completely over until he is drunk to the point where his eyes are rolling. After working on Saturday night, Dr. Sugino dragged him to an izakaya next to the clinic, saying that he had been working hard these days and wanted to invite him to dinner.
The doctor ordered a few lackluster side dishes, probably peanuts and some pickled vegetables, which were not much different from the side dishes that the Celestial Empire people ate when they drank. In addition, he brought up a large bottle of sake, and Taku Takenaka looked at the label, this wine was 1.5 liters, and one bottle seemed to be nearly 10,000 yen, and the price surprised him.
It's no wonder that Hui Yizi was able to spend a lot of money to buy two tickets for more than 7,000 yen, it turns out that this problem is inherited from you!
He shirked it for a long time, but he still couldn't compete with Dr. Sugino, a sturdy adult, and was forced to pour several glasses of wine.
The neon government stipulates that you can't drink alcohol under the age of twenty, but it won't be a big deal to drink a few glasses in private, and after drinking a few glasses, he only feels that this sake and liquor do have a different taste, different from the heartburn and lung-burning feeling, but it is really a little choking to say, as if he has shoved mustard into his throat.
Taku Takenaka didn't drink much of this stuff, so he only drank a few glasses and stopped. If it suits his appetite, he will probably drink more, but it is really unappetizing, and it is not beneficial to drink more. Drinking alcohol will cause alcohol to paralyze the nerves of the brain, and it is said that if you drink too much, you will become a fool, and a fool will obviously not be able to get into the university.
Time flies quickly, and it is already the end of May, which is probably the off-season for the pet clinic.
The work in the shop was not busy, and if it weren't for Dr. Sugino's thoughts, he wouldn't even be too embarrassed to receive a salary. The doctor told him that the peak of sickness would not be until June and July, when summer arrived, when many people would come to the door to see their pets, and now it was at best a calm before the storm.
When the doctor told him this, he swore by it, and so did he.
In fact, the weather at this time is relatively warm, and the temperature is not high, and it is easy to get sick due to the sudden change of climate when it is often 278 degrees Celsius in the summer. It's the same with people and animals, but it's no different.
Taku Takenaka is now relatively healthy, and he has been exercising since he adapted to life after the crossing.
Some time ago, I just ran around the artificial lake in the park for half an hour every morning, and now I have added ten sets of push-ups on top of this, and then the intensity can be increased as appropriate, anyway, normal exercise in real life will not lead to baldness, so he doesn't need to worry too much.
There are still a lot of simple equipment in the park, and maybe you can try pull-ups later, although the muscles in his arms haven't been fully trained, but there should be no problem doing ten or eight.
During this time, he finally got acquainted with a few old men who walked in the park every morning, and those old men no longer saw him and retreated, and even sometimes took the initiative to beckon "Xiao Zhuzhong" to come and sit down and drink some water after knowing his name, he still felt very relieved.
Taku Takenaka looked in the mirror at the pair of white eyes in the mirror, and only felt that it seemed that it was not so fierce and vicious, and it should be considered a lot softer. I don't know if I've been looking at these eyes for nearly three months, and I'm used to it.
If that's not the case, it would be nice - it means that the fierce and vicious eyes can be gradually changed through acquired adjustment, and there is no need for you to live a lifetime with these three white eyes. As long as you keep your mind calm and peaceful, you will definitely be able to become a normal person within half a year.
Although he still doesn't feel like a good person now, if he puts himself in a martial arts drama now, he probably doesn't need to be a cult demon, and it is estimated that he can evolve from a villain boss to a male number three who suddenly changes his mind and becomes a new person under the mouth cannon of the protagonist when he is halfway through the performance, which can be regarded as an outstanding progress.
Probably steady progress in study, just waiting for the second exam in a few days, the cultural festival has long passed, and it's not fun to really say it, at most, Hui Yizi dragged him around for a long time. The news of "the delinquent boy Taku Takenaka coerced Shimomura's classmates to be his girlfriend" spread the next day, and he estimated that this should still be the thing done by the guy who went to the student union to report him.
The other party's way of spreading rumors is more special, starting with some people in the class who love gossip, and then gradually spreading to the class, and finally expanding the influence from the class step by step to the school, so that it is difficult to find out the source of the rumors layer by layer.
When he was framed as a "White Fox Group General" before, I am afraid that the other party used such a method. It's just that he didn't realize it at the time.
Chiaki Takagi was busy working on the entire cultural festival from all angles, but he couldn't find the person behind it. This disciplinary committee member is very competent, he has to tell the other party not to take these to heart, anyway, this kind of rumor will not cause him any substantial harm.
Taku Takenaka doesn't care much about scandals, in the final analysis, it's because Nagasawa High School doesn't prohibit love, but it doesn't advocate students to fall in love, and it won't hurt him to drop out of school if there are really rumors. In fact, no matter how big the scandal between students is, that's actually it, as long as you ignore this kind of thing, no one will pay attention to it after a while.
This time, his goal is to win the crown directly in the next academic test, and then find a way to win the first place in the school's deviation value, as long as the grades are good enough, even the principal must try his best to protect himself. The guy who is dissatisfied with himself can only be a clown, there is no need to take it to heart.
And Hui Yizi didn't show how happy she was when she heard the news, nor did she try everything to distance herself, let alone show any embarrassed gestures.
If you really want to say it, after that, it was about the same as in the past, this girl even didn't go to the club after school for a few days, but followed him to the pet clinic, and many people witnessed the scene of the two leaving together after school.
He did find it a little strange, but he didn't pursue it further. Hui Yizi has a lot of friends at school, and it's always not nice to suddenly get involved with a character like herself, who is hated by everyone. But it's not good if he unilaterally alienates Hui Yizi, this girl is really good to him, he is no longer the kind of naïve and naïve high school student, and naturally he will not have any conflicts with the people around him because of impulse.
In addition, Megumi Yizi is probably going to participate in the competition after a while. That is, the badminton game in the high school comprehensive sports competition, she said that although she may not be able to play, she still hopes that Takenaka-kun can come to the game site to watch and cheer for herself.
He had no reason to refuse, so he agreed to what might be considered an unreasonable request.
That's what happens in school.,Actually, there's nothing to say.,For high school student Taku Takenaka, it's nothing more than some dispensable little things.,There's no need to take it to heart.。 It's useless to take it to heart, probably it can only increase the pressure, and it's better not to remember it at all.
And for the light novel author Taku Takenaka - in the month after winning the first place in the newcomer award, he didn't even bother with the novel. After all, Ishisaka Mayuki is an editor and has to get a salary, so she has been busy with the publication of light novels, and she doesn't think it's a big problem.
The royalty is only 12.5%, and as a creator of content, he can only earn 62.5 yen by selling a copy. What gives him a bit of a headache is that his royalty is not low anymore, and if the sales of the book are average, I am afraid that it will not rise but fall in the future.
The evil capitalism has always been to squeeze all the labor force that can be squeezed with all his efforts, and he, as a traverser, can only be slaughtered like a salted fish on a chopping board, which is not something that he or Ishisaka Mayuki can decide, and the other party, as an editor, may be able to adjust his royalties within a certain range, but in fact he can't adjust it to a much extent.
The young editor had sent messages to Taku Takenaka several times in the past month, and he had also sent him some drawings of his characters and gave him a look. In fact, the meaning is probably to let him put forward some opinions on character design, repair these basic places, and then let the artist complete those few illustrations and full-color covers.
Although Taku Takenaka didn't really want to give advice, he couldn't shirk it, he felt that he was an amateur, and it was definitely useless, and he couldn't give useful advice. But at the strong request of Ishizaka's editor, he naturally said something of his own.
But these are not tricky, he is not a person who has nothing to do, and he doesn't like to engage in formalism, so he doesn't want colorful black like some Party A who has nothing to do, and it's probably just a decent level.
In fact, he thinks that his requirements are not too low, but he is not a professional after all, and he didn't understand these painting things before he crossed over, and now he doesn't understand them, and he can't see the small problems in many places.
Although the artist is a newcomer, the things drawn are quite high-level, and the efficiency is also very high, and all the character settings have been completed in a few days. For example, if you think it's better to insert an illustration here, you first have to explain the reasons and benefits to Ishisaka, and then the young editor will judge and communicate, and if you confirm the location of the illustration, most of the rest will be the artist's task.
That's probably where the story of the novel goes, and then it's a matter of waiting. It's useless to wait, unless he teaches himself to draw and reaches a professional level within a week, which will not only solve the illustration quickly by dividing it by two, but also make a name for being versatile.
If Taku Takenaka had a system, maybe he could really do it, but he didn't, so he didn't have such a bold idea. Those little thugs haven't bothered him for a month, and he originally thought that he might not have fought hard enough last time, but now it seems that it should be enough, just kill them.
The Akibara family is probably still like that, and he can't say anything. The bookstore seems to have been left by Ikumi Akihara and Miwako's mother before she died, and it's a housework, and I can't give my opinions, so I can only be a transparent person and a pure spectator.
Speaking of which, Taku Takenaka thinks Miwako is a very hard-working little girl. The last time he attended a concert, he bought an old guitar for less than 2,000 yen at a second-hand second-hand store.
Later, he found a musical instrument store to tune the guitar and bought a guitar tutorial, but because of the increasing amount of learning content, he didn't have time to look at these things. After being known by the little girl Miwako, she begged herself, saying that she wanted to learn to play the guitar by herself, so she gave the gray guitar to the little girl along with the tutorial.
Miwako's progress in a month is not small, and now she can play some simple introductory songs.
In short, everything is probably going for the better.
Except for the cheap sister who has a little conflict with herself.,It's probably all the same.。
