02. The protagonist returns to his place

"When Arima-kun first came in, I thought you were here to announce the notice of [your club is not enough in number, and it will be officially banned tomorrow], haha."

"I can't think of shallow... The big teacher is still a person who can laugh. Yinghe advocates freedom of interest, even if the number of clubs is only one from beginning to end, the school will not cancel the club casually, please rest assured. ”

"Arima-kun, you can call me Asama directly, the nickname of the big teacher, was given by a group of strange people in the school forum to make fun of me."

Visually measuring about 1.85 meters of Arima Jiyan, the school uniform is straight, dusty, and as meticulous as his character, but this seriousness does not have the aura that no one should enter, but like a jade tree in the spring breeze, so that the girls can't help but be attracted and want to get closer, so that the boys pay attention to it sideways and look up to envy.

If the group of girls launches an anonymous voting campaign for [Yinghe Academy, this man, I want to marry him], I'm afraid that even the boys will mix in and vote for Arima in first place.

"Okay, big teacher. I'm sure this name is not a joke, but a tribute to your strength and charisma. ”

“...... If you like it......

Arima-kun, then again, even if you are very popular, you can't avoid the trouble of the three major illusions in life.

Asama straightened his body, poured a cup of tea for Yoshihiko Arima, and motioned for Arima to sit down and talk.

Arima took a sip, looked at the slightly whitish tea soup in the transparent cup, and praised: "Unexpected fresh taste, good tea." ”

"A little personal collection, China Xinyang Maojian, North Jiangnan, Ming Dynasty sprouts." Asama finally met someone who knew the goods, and took out a beautiful aluminum box from the drawer, which was painted with enamelled Chinese mountains and auspicious clouds.

Asama smiled and recommended to Arima, "A box of 5 packs, the amount of a pack can be soaked 5 times, only 30,000 yen, is Arima-kun interested in a box?" ”

Seeing that Arima-kun was a little hesitant, Asama explained: "Imported products that pay taxes normally, because most of them are for their own use, so they are not labeled, safe and non-toxic Chinese goods, acquaintance prices, you buy them in the mall, it may cost 40,000 yen." ”

Arima hesitated and shook his head.

Asama took out a pack from the box and handed it to Arima, "If you like it, take it home and taste it, and come to me for a drink if you want to." It doesn't mean anything special, just make a friend. ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you, big teacher." After hesitating for a moment, Arima accepted Asama's kindness.

Asama Shizumi has tasted the sweetness of sales in the past few months, and subconsciously regards Arima as another big young master.

Only now do I remember that Arima Yoshihiko, a native of Adachi Ward, Tokyo, was also admitted to this aristocratic school like him, and he also won the first place in the entrance examination in April, not only won a full scholarship of up to 1 million, but also free of charge for all tuition fees for three academic years.

Unlike Asama, who squeezed his head into this school, the school didn't even save him a dime in tuition.

Because of Arima's excellent temperament and cultivation, coupled with the blessings of academic ability and appearance, even Asama forgot that Arima Yoshihiko is actually the same as himself, and he is also one of Yinghe's rare beasts - common people.

The common people counterattacked and became the upper class of Japan, which is worthy of being the protagonist script!

"Okay, let's get down to business. Before getting into the specifics, I would like to confirm one thing. What kind of mood do you have about the target person?

If you only act if you are sure that 'she likes me, I like her', then this kind of selfish and cowardly behavior is not what Arima Yoshihiko should do in my eyes. ”

"Big teacher, I'm certainly not the kind of person who pursues steady wins rather than true love.

I can't express what kind of mood you are feeling at the moment. After all, I don't have that experience. It's just that in my interactions with her, I clearly feel the unrest in my heart.

In a pie chart, it's about 60% care, 20% liking, 10% self-identification, and 10% unknown.

Of course I know that going both ways is the best process, but I don't like to be informed, and if you think of love as a war and want to do a good job of intelligence, that's why I'm here, big teacher. ”

Without complaining about the pie chart that had been expressed in great detail, Asama crossed his hands on his chest and said, "With Ma-kun's ability, it's not difficult to figure out this matter." ”

"There is a way that Liu Bei Xuande still needs Zhuge Kongming to attack Western Shu, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi relies on the Takenaka Hanbei to defeat Maori Huiyuan, and he specializes in art. I believe that you are a professional in this area. ”

"Well, do intelligence gathering without revealing that you're already paying attention to each other? What is the time frame? ”

"My plan is to have a 100% success rate confession before I graduate. Therefore, there is no deadline for quick success in intelligence gathering. This is the basic information of the other party. ”

Arima handed Asama a very rough information card with a blurry photo.

[Target person: Chiyo Konoe.]

Age: 15 years old

Class: Year C class

Society: Kendo Club

Student Council Position: Vice President]

...

It is a candid photo taken on the noisy way out of school, and a luxury car that can feel its high-class even if it is blurry is parked in front of the target, and the target is ready to get into the car under the protection of the bodyguard in the sunglasses suit.

It is estimated that the photographer's hands were very shaky at the time, and the anti-shake function of the mobile phone was shaken off the line, and the side facial features exposed by the target were very blurred.

It is worth mentioning that if you look closely, you will find that the eyes of the target person, Chiyo Konoe, are looking at the camera. Because myopic eyes can have a miraculous effect when looking at mosaics, Asama took off his glasses and looked at the photo again, and he was even more sure of this point, well, his eyes were sharp.

Chiyo Konoe, what kind of girl is she?

The second place in the first-year entrance exam.,Academic ability on par with Arima Yoshihiko.,Clear appearance,High nose and thin eyebrows.,Long straight hair like black satin.,On the first day of participating in the kendo club, he used a beautiful stab to knock the president of the kendo club over.。

He is cold, but the reviews are good. It is the first place in the internal selection of first-grade girls, "the most ideal sister". Why don't you put the second and third grade real sisters on the selection list, which Asama didn't expect.

Speaking of Konoe, although in Japan in his previous life, he felt that he was not as famous as Jack Ma, but in Japan in this life, Konoe was still one of the five high-powered photographers.

Chiyo Konoe's great-grandfather, the founder of Eiwa that year, celebrated the groundbreaking of the school with a group of big names in the government and academic circles, and the photo still hangs in the school auditorium.

Her grandfather is the former prime minister of the country, her father is a member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly, her mother is the eldest lady of a famous trading company, and the current chairman of the academy is also her uncle, although her surname is Fujiwara.

Although Yinghe College advocates freedom and equality, class division is indeed common sense that is not shown to words.

The Konoe family is one of the few top dignitaries and Chinese in the Yinghe Academy, and the descendants of their family have always been one of the most important and noble people in the Yinghe Academy.

This 1.56-meter-tall, thin little girl, as the daughter of the Konoe family, is the crown of the privileged class, and the 200-year-old Toyo Eiwa Academy is the real uncrowned king for the next 3 years.

Although Reina Nijo is also the eldest lady of the Five Photography family, she is not only smart and beautiful, but she also plays a good cosplay, but she is only the third daughter of the family, and she is not like Chiyo Konoe, who carries the huge expectations of the family.

Even if it is the Arima family, who has a great ancestor, with Arima Yoshihiko, who now lives in Adachi Ward, and wants to have a girlfriend like Chiyo Konoe, it is undoubtedly several times more difficult than President Truman, a young farmer, chasing Elizabeth Wallace, a wealthy businessman in a small town.

Judging from the daily information, the interaction between Konoe and Arima is limited, and it is a public matter, and there is a lot of gunpowder in the argument and confrontation, and it is really hard to imagine that there will be a spark of love between these two people.

Asama retracted his thoughts, and the sound of the sports club outside became quieter, and the sound of the piano upstairs stopped at some point. Glancing at the time, 6:06, let's settle the battle quickly.

"Konoe-san's relevant information, I will sort out as much as possible this week. Her activity trajectory, social circle, and classmate Arima, what clues do you think can be investigated? ”

"My time with her every day is from half past four to a quarter past six in the afternoon. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, she would stay at the kendo club until about half past five, and then work in the student council until half past six, sometimes until seven. ”

"Hmm... It's about 435 minutes a week, and you're currently spending about 8 weeks with her, which is less than 60 hours. In addition to the entrance exam, entrance ceremony, mid-term examination in May, and the daily work of the student union, what happened between you that impressed you? ”

"When we met for the first time, everyone who didn't know each other nodded their heads. But only Konoe, who held out her right hand to me, was glad she didn't sweat at the time. Arima lowered his head a little embarrassed and covered his forehead.

"Who else did she shake hands with?"

"There are two second-year vice presidents with the president, they are both girls, and I am the only boy she shakes hands with."

"You and she are also the vice presidents appointed by the president, so it's okay to shake hands for the first time to show respect."

Arima paused, and his face stiffened a lot. Asama knows that this kind of pain of disillusionment after self-inflicted affection is more harmful to men than labor pains. So Asama kindly changed the subject.

"Anything else?"

"One day it was raining, and everyone else left early, and when I walked out of the student union building, the guard watched the rain alone under the eaves of the building. I know the guard came with an umbrella this morning. She took the initiative to say that there was no umbrella in the rain, so she waited for me to come out and asked me to give her a ride. ”

"Konoe-san, isn't she a driver? You should also have a spare umbrella. ”

"It seems that the driver didn't pick her up that day, I sent her all the way to the station before saying goodbye, big teacher, do you think, could this be her intention."

"Is it possible that someone took the umbrella? It rained last month, and my umbrella was taken away, and I went home in the rain..."

Arima's eyes began to darken, and even his complexion turned much paler. So Asama changed the subject again.

"Of course, it's not that it's completely impossible. A girl's heart is as inscrutable as the weather in Tokyo. Is there anything else that impresses you? ”

Arima rubbed his temples with his index knuckles with a little stiffness in his grace, as if the sweet memories of the past had suddenly become an abyss that he couldn't look at directly, and only after a few breaths of relief did he start recalling.

"Just last Thursday, Nijo-san, a student in the student union, suddenly talked about love, and launched a [Survey of Active Student Council Members in Love YES/NO Survey], and when Nijo asked me, I clearly felt Konoe's gaze. And when I said no, I could clearly see the corner of her mouth smiling. ”

"It's really enviable, Arima, in this case, I think it's still very possible. Ice beauty's smile, I want to see it too. ”

But the information I got was that the seniors all had lovers, and the whole student council didn't have a boy, and Konoe-san's smile could also be a mocking laugh at a virgin commoner who didn't have a lover.

[She definitely likes me] This illusion is an inescapable curse on every excellent teenager.

Asama listened to the story while cleaning the tea set.

"It's okay, it's not too early, let's stop here today."

"Okay big teacher, can you add LINE? Please inform me of any instructions in the future. ”

“OK。 If you can, don't call me a big teacher outside, and you don't have to communicate with me too much, I don't want to be noticed. ”

"Understood, then, I'm going to go first?"

"No, it's time for me to go home." With that, Asama took off his bag from the coat rack and put it on his back, closed the window and light, picked up another corrugated cardboard box, and prepared to go out.

Seeing that the box seemed to be slightly heavier, Arima took the initiative to help Asama pick it up.

Who would have thought that the protagonist and the supporting role had no intersection in the morning during the day, and the protagonist had already taken the initiative to help the supporting character get something in the afternoon.

Who exactly is the supporting character?

Thinking of this, Asama thanked him verbally and took the box back again.

Where in the world is there any rain from heaven, and Asama even more respects the only essence and seeks benevolence.

If it weren't for the fact that Ogami Komaba revealed to Asama that Vice President Arima's home computer had a large number of search keywords such as "Konoe", "Konoe tradition", and "Konoe preference", Asama wouldn't have started the plan to actively support the protagonist so quickly.

Why Komaba a player who plays games will have the browsing history of the home computers of school classmates, and why Komaba will tell Asama the information searched, these are inconvenient to elaborate.

At a glance, it is clear that today's encounter between Asama and Arima was actually planned.

As Asama's former recipient, Nijo-san is also a member of the student council, and through her in the student council to talk about some love topics, it attracted Arima's attention, and then asked Komaba-san to send out a few posts discussing "The God of Love - Great Sensei" in several popular forums in Eiwa to attract him.

The month of February has arrived, and the protagonist is home!

Thinking of this, even if Konoe is a cold-blooded and ruthless political animal, Asama will definitely help Arima achieve this cross-class romance.

It didn't take much time to walk from the third floor to the first floor atrium.

The cool breeze blows, and the five-storey club building and the six-storey school building are connected by a three-story corridor, with hydrangeas and irises swaying in the flower beds on both sides of the corridor.

This year, the evenings in early June in Tokyo were quite cool, with daytime highs of 24°C.

Just as Asama was still thinking about it, a nice voice with joy came.

"Asama-kun?"
