Matoku High School.

The uniform of a school located in Minato-ku, Tokyo, is a Western-style uniform, black, usually with a red tie or red bow.

Because of the high tuition threshold, the families inside are at least middle-class families who are more than 10 million yen younger.

Sakakihara Raku and Sakakihara Suzu chose this extremely difficult private high school to get into when they were in junior high school.

Although the brother and sister are about 2 years apart, their mother postponed going to school for two years in order to let Sakakihara take care of her sister at school and keep her from being bullied.

He was admitted to this high school with the fourth grade in his grade, and the tuition fee was waived, but Suzu Sakakihara did not study very well because of his busy work, so he still enrolled at the original price, which cost him more than 3 million yen.

Sakakihara Le, carrying a shoulder bag, walked uphill, standing at the school gate and looking at the gilded characters of [Meitoku Private High School].

On the left and right sides behind the gate are planted two centuries-old trees.

They were thick and open, and the emerald canopy that extended out covered the sky, and the sound of the wind sounded loudly.

Sakakihara was searched by a physical education teacher at the school gate along with his classmates wearing the same uniform, and after confirming that there were no dangerous goods, he was let in.

"Fujino and Nishijima haven't come yet, forget it, two unreliable guys."

Sakakihara put down his schoolbag in the classroom, took off his coat, leaving only a white shirt outside, and walked down the stairs to the playground again, loosening the tie around his neck by the way.

After the warm-up exercise, he stood on the starting line and looked ahead.

"5 km daily."

With a silent remark in his heart, he began to take a step forward.

Sakakihara stepped happily on the hard rubber track, the wind whistling in his ears, and the sound of breathing straight into his brain caused his lungs to constantly draw oxygen outward.

He looked ahead, feeling the coolness of the morning breeze on his face.

At this point, he didn't have to think about anything, just move his legs, stare at the red runway, and savor the pleasure of making his body lighter and lighter in the morning breeze that ruffled his hair.

"Yo! Sakakibara! It's been the first few laps! ”

Sakakihara saw Yoshiyuki Fujino, who had just come in from the school gate and waved to him with a smile, and another classmate standing next to him, Nishijima Daiki.

Sakakihara exhaled hot air, and while running, he stretched out a palm to him in front of him.

"Do you want us to accompany you?" Fujino shouted.

Sakakihara didn't bother to respond, but nodded at them as he approached them.

"That's good! You're waiting for us! Let's get down after we put our bags! ”

Sakakihara gave them another OK gesture.

"This guy has become so cold after two days off?" Fujino watched his back as he faded away on the runway.

"Sakakibara ran the fifth lap, he must be tired, and it's normal not to reply. Anyway, didn't we make an appointment with him to come here for a run at 7:40 every day? ”

"Is there such a thing?" Yoshiyuki Fujino scratched his head.

"Hey, don't tell me you forgot." Nishijima looked at him with half-closed eyes.

"But why didn't you warn me on the way."

Nishijima Daiki pushed his reflective eyes: "Because, I forgot too." ”

Fujino Yoshiyuki gave him a roll of the eyes: "Then you still talk about me!" By the way, Sakakihara said how many laps to run? ”

"5 km."

"5 km ?!!" Fujino Yoshiyuki's eyes widened suddenly, "Are you kidding me, a 400-meter lap, this has to run 13 laps, I thought it was only 1 lap." ”

"Wait a minute!"

"What?" Nishijima Oki was carrying a shoulder bag and looked at him.

Fujino Yoshiyuki's expression suddenly became very serious: "Ahem, Nishijima." ”

"Say it quickly."

"I suddenly realized that I hadn't eaten breakfast yet." Fujino squeezed the rice balls in his trouser pocket and hid them.

"Such a coincidence? Me too. Nishijima Oki glanced at him.

"There's no energy, so can't you run?"

"It makes a lot of sense, and it's in line with the basic principle that living organisms use food for energy to act."

"Then let's go to the classroom for breakfast now?"

"What about Sakakibara."

"I think that if a man wants to succeed, he needs to be trained, and having someone to accompany him cannot make him grow at all."

"Makes sense. So...? ”

Fujino Yoshiyuki put his right hand on his chest, and his expression was resolute: "So we have to let Sakakihara concentrate on running alone, and we must not disturb him!" ”

"That makes so much sense!" Nishijima agrees.

"So, let's go?"

"Let's go."

"Okay, have breakfast!"

......

"The first... Fourteen laps. ”

【Weekly Running (6/25km)-To be completed】

Sakakihara stopped as his running shoes crossed the white starting line, gasping for breath with his hands on his knees, and looking up at his surroundings as the dizziness in his head had subsided slightly.

Except for a few familiar faces who run in the morning every day, there is no shadow of anyone else.

What about Fujino and Nishijima?

......

【Daily - Lunch (Completed)】

[The reward has been issued, please pay attention to check]

Sakakihara ate the barbecued pork in the bowl and took a look at the current deposit.

[Current Points: 1250]

[Current deposits: 73,525 yen]

Poor, too poor.

There is still a certain gap between the 500,000 yen required to open [Flower Tree II].

It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to complete the weekly task of washing clothes yesterday, and it was a full 3,000 yen less.

"Sakakihara, didn't you go on a date last weekend?" Yoshiyuki Fujino is scribbling rice in the student cafeteria.

If there is anything that makes Sakakihara feel the most speechless, that is, his chat history with Ashiya Suzuraku was known by Fujino Yoshiyuki and Nishijima Oki.

They were classmates whom Sakakihara had known since the entrance ceremony.

On the first day, when he was standing on the school bulletin board to see the class placement, Fujino took the initiative to lean over and talk to Sakakihara Raku and Nishijima Daiki, who was standing with him, about the fact that he was in love.

The three of them met.

In the morning, I actually put my own pigeons, which is called running needs energy, but after breakfast, I forgot everything.

Alas, the human heart is not ancient.

It's like a physical education exam, one or two say run slower, run slower, let's pass.

But as soon as it came to the starting stage, one or two rushed as hard as if they had taken doping.

Just say yes and pass?

Playing Sun Tzu's Art of War, soldiers don't get tired of cheating, right?

Sakakihara thought about the situation of yesterday's date: "This matter-"

"Fujino! Straight ahead, at four o'clock! ”

"Where?!" Fujino Yoshiyuki immediately left Sakakihara and turned his eyes like a scout to look at the queue in the cafeteria.

At the end of the crowd, he saw a high school girl wearing the iconic blue and black suit uniform of Meitoku High School.

The other party is holding a book, blue hair, pale pink eyes, quite quiet.

"The data is from top to bottom, 84, 61, 87, and I am in good shape."

"Isn't 84 a little small?"

"Stupid, because of the slender waist, the chest will be bigger than imagined after taking off the clothes, and blindly looking at the bust is completely undesirable."

"Oh~ Sure enough! Nishijima, you're amazing. Yoshiyuki Fujino smiled and gave a thumbs up to his glasses.

Then he sat down and continued to gulp down the rice.

"I mean, you two guys, do you do anything other than watching women and eating?" Sakakihara wiped his mouth with a napkin, then wrapped it in a clean piece of paper so he could throw it away later.

Yoshiyuki Fujino and Daiki Nishijima glanced at each other.

Then, as if they had reflected, they took the initiative to bow their heads in front of him.

"You're right, Sakakihara-san, we shouldn't be so decadent."

"Yes, life is not only about women and eating, but also about dreams and hard work."

"We have repented of your teachings."

"Repented."

"Now that we know the mistakes, we're going to try to fix them."

Sakakihara glanced at the two guys with their heads down: "It's good to know." ”

"In the past, I only knew how to eat, but now I can eat five bowls in one meal!"

"In the past, I only knew how to look at the measurements of beautiful girls, but now I'm thinking-why haven't I saved the data I saw before?"

"Ah~~"

The two guys sighed in unison, picked up the bowl, and ate slowly, as if they were really repentant.

Sakakihara almost believed in their evil.

After lunch, the first period of physical education on Monday afternoon was the first period, and Sakakihara was ready to go to the classroom to take a nap.

Passing through the school's atrium and below the school building, the sunlight shines through the leaves, staining the entire corridor with a dappled and shadowy turquoise.

Sakakihara loosened the tie around his neck and continued to pace ahead of him, and many classmates in suits and trousers passed by him.

It's been a week, and I'm still a little uncomfortable with the new environment.

Fujino Yoshiyuki didn't know when he followed, and he wanted to put his arms around Sakakihara Raku's neck with a big grin, but he stretched out a hand and put it in the air.

"So, what's going on with your run?" Fujino Yoshiyuki lowered his right hand and asked with a smile.

Nishijima Oki appeared to the side, and he touched his glasses: "Judging from Sakakihara's unhappy expression, it shouldn't be going well, or rather, it's not to your liking." ”

"It's really not in harmony." Sakakihara nodded.

"I'll just say it! Photos and women on the Internet must not be trusted! That's not a photo at all, it's a scam! Fujino Yoshiyuki leaned closer to him, "Isn't the other party good-looking?" ”

"It's a beautiful girl." Sakakihara said casually.

"Huh?" Fujino Yoshiyuki looked surprised and surprised, "Then why do you look sad?" I understand, it's the other party who looks down on you! No, you're not ugly except for being poor. ”

Nishijima Oki nodded: "Upper-class appearance." ”

"By the way, the other party must be a gold worshipper, fishing you out just to see if you have money."

"Worship fashion, love vanity."

"You must not have deleted her Line, right, I know, I advise you to delete her contact information quickly, you are poor, but the gold worshipper girl on the other side is still willing to contact you, she must be treating you as a spare tire!"

"There could also be a pure ATM."

"If you want me to say, you might as well wait for a love letter."

"The top five admissions results are quite extraordinary."

"But there will also be female classmates who think he's a good deception type, right?"

"Innocent virgin."

"Hahaha! Nishijima, you don't seem to be the same when you say this! ”

Because they were talking too loudly, the classmates in one corridor all looked at the three of them with strange eyes.

"Aren't you too? also said that he talked about a girlfriend. ”

"Ahem... I am, developing. ”

Let them talk again, the three of them are virginity news and can be famous in the whole school.

But Sakakihara actually doesn't matter, what's wrong with virginity?

Just as girls are proud of being virgins, teenagers should also be proud of being virgins.

On the other hand, gender has never been equal.

Sakakihara took out his phone and glanced at the message he had just received.

"I'm sorry, I'm going to the Faculty of Letters, so I'm sorry." He stopped.

"Faculty of Letters? What are you doing in that kind of place where you'll never be able to get along with us? Fujino glanced back at him.

"It's greasy." Daiki Nishijima pushed the frame of his glasses.

I have to say that these two guys have a particularly sharp mind.

It's the same reaction they had after seeing the beautiful girl and beating the chicken.

"Don't worry, I'm not in love, and I don't have the energy to fall in love, then, I'll go first."

Sakakihara threw down a sentence that could be regarded as abandoning them, and he walked through the school building, walked past the stadium, and arrived at the club building of Meitoku Private High School.

He remembered that the Faculty of Literature was on the fifth floor, and after a few stairs of stairs, he came to a door with the Faculty of Letters logo on it.

He knocked on the door.

Before someone said please come in.

A quiet girl with a book in her arms opened the door and suddenly walked out, almost hitting Sakakihara Raku.

"Sorry, sorry!" The girl was visibly startled, took a step back, and then bowed her head slightly to him.

Sakakihara took a closer look.

Blue hair, pale pink eyes, quiet girl.

It's not-

84，61，87...

Sakakihara Le's mind subconsciously popped up these strings of numbers.

Have you been brainwashed by those two guys?

Sakakihara shook his head, shook off the nonsense, and added a belated "It's okay." ”

"That's... Excuse me, what is the matter with your coming to the Faculty of Letters? The quiet girl held the book and settled down.

Sakakihara looked inside, "I'm here to find your minister." ”

"Is it Iribu?" The girl's eyes inexplicably revealed a brilliance called hope, and her hands hugged the books in her arms tighter.

"Not really."

Sakakihara Raku's casual words seemed to drive the girl into the abyss, and she left the club of the Faculty of Letters in despair.

After the quiet girl leaves, Sakakihara walks into the club classroom of the Faculty of Letters.

The spring breeze blows the curtains, standing quietly by the window, wearing glasses, holding a book to read, and taking off the gold wire glasses on the bridge of her nose without squinting.

She turned her gaze and looked at the door with her indifferent azure eyes:

"Brother, there is a lot of potential to bully girls."

The breeze outside the window swept her long fine hair, and her delicate face was as refreshing as the dizzying cherry blossoms.
