09. Shiba Park in the summer breeze

"Don't believe too much in the sixth sense of adolescence,

The way to figure things out is not to guess, but to do.

There is an idiom story in ancient China called a suspicious man stealing an axe, which is also a presupposition of the conclusion.

Especially the presupposition of negative conclusions, which would be a very bad habit. ”

...

"Preconceived conclusions are no different from gambling and are not really responsible for the outcome.

The more accustomed people are to preset conclusions, the more likely they are to be influenced by preset conclusions.

Including those from others, so they lose the ability to think independently. ”

...

"What does Maeda-san think, even if you ask in person, you may not be able to get the right answer.

So my suggestion is,

Through the topic of wrestling and that bearded artist, I became friends with Maeda with common interests, and then got to know her better. ”

"Next,

You can also change yourself a little bit, get closer to her superficial interests, and test her real interests. ”

After the 100 million man left, Daisuke Miwa, also from Class A in the first year, came to the Love Counseling Department.

Although he doesn't wear glasses, Miwa is the kind of roll king who has to go to cram school until 8-9 o'clock when he returns from school.

His arrival was not a plan of the asama.

After all, the more things you want to control, the fewer things you actually control.

Most of the customers are random and natural customers like Miriwa.

The goal of love counseling is Maeda Apricot in Class C for one year, and she is very popular in Class C, likes to wear a high ponytail and has a pair of slender and beautiful thighs.

"I see, big teacher, thank you for your help.

I heard rumors that Asama-san, who was in my class, was doing a relationship counseling activity, but I didn't believe it.

Today I learned that Yinghe Academy is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

Well, the previous sentence doesn't mean disrespecting you.

Everyone thinks that a single person who has no love history at first glance guides a group of people who have even been in love in elementary school...

Only... A bit outrageous?

But I'm completely convinced of you, big teacher, you're so much more reliable than the magazines you bought before! ”

You see, people always like to make some presuppositions without personal experience, and the result of the presuppositions is pride and prejudice.

But they think it's a vision.

Of course, this kind of "vision" is the best protective color for Asama.

"And a mediocre, unpopular, poor guy from the country, right?"

"That's not that excessive."

Miwa laughed awkwardly.

Looking at your expression, it must be more excessive than that.

"So, why don't the big teachers package themselves more popularly,

How about turning those who question you into people who believe in you and like you? ”

"You don't want Maeda-san's other admirers to come to me too, do you?

Or are you willing to play like a knight and compete fairly with a group of people who are also supported, and finally win Maeda's affection? ”

"Well... I just said that, but I'm actually thinking about you, the great teacher. ”

"I understand, I'm thinking about you now."

With that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

"So, out of this department, please try to treat me as a classmate Asama who has no sense of existence."

"I see."

Out of the love counseling department, the shadow in Daisuke Miwa's mind is not the long-legged Maeda Apricot of Class C, but Asama still water.

The big teacher who is hidden behind the scenes, and is upright and does not pretend, is really a bit handsome.

Well, mostly temperamental.

...

Asama saw Miwa walk out of the love counseling department,

The gentleman is obscure, and the leopard is hidden.

Countries that have been brainwashed by Western culture can no longer understand this.

Since you have to do a good job of hiding, why don't you bring a mask to the identity of the great teacher?

First of all, Asama thinks that wearing a mask and sharing their secrets with high school students who still have a childlike heart will not be truly trusted.

He is not defensive, the customer is not guarded, and this kind of mutual trust relationship can be more long-term from the beginning.

And Asama's unremarkable appearance and extremely low sense of existence, and the contrast between what he does will also become an insurance.

Secondly, people who entrust their personal love problems to others will generally not have intrigues;

Those who have brains have solved the matter by themselves;

Bad people won't do this kind of thing like sharing secrets with others.

Again, in terms of instrumental theory, you don't smash the pot before you finish stir-frying.

In the end, he's just an acting minister, and when the real trouble comes, all the blame lies with the guy who traveled the world.

Shallow still water as an ordinary student again,

With the help of the contacts in the early stage, a more hidden and private relationship consulting organization will be re-established.

Unless you meet an intelligence as high as 9, a well-connected peer comes to smash the field...

But if you have that ability, why should you be a matchmaker?

Asama belongs to the blue ocean market with a high-tech threshold in the subdivided field.

...

The summer sunset comes late, and it is estimated that there will be cicadas in a few days.

A hot wind blows into the room, and Asama finally gets a taste of the heat of Tokyo.

I'll go to school tomorrow wearing only short sleeves.

I made myself a cup of tea, leaned back in a chair, and watched "When We No Longer Understand the World" in a comfortable position.

Compared with philosophy and sociology books, novels have a very low density of thinking.

But for novels with good titles or attractive writers, Asama still tries to read them.

By the time Asama came back to his senses, was it already 6:20?

It feels like there is something FLAG today that has been selectively forgotten ...

...

...

Yes,

There is a commission of horses.

Now that the students are almost finished, I guess there is no result in trying to investigate.

That's all for today,

Leave this to your future self.

...

As always, the homecoming process,

Go to a restaurant to buy groceries,

Then go to the convenience store to refill the refrigerator with some soda,

Asama didn't expect to meet an unexpected person.

Futami Tsukimi, instead of resting at home, he worked part-time at a convenience store.

Isn't Komaba's information a panacea?

Futami classmates, who are supposed to live in Chiyoda Ward, not only did he not go to school during the day, but he also appeared in front of the cash register of a convenience store near the school.

What is the story in it, I can only ask Komaba tomorrow.

Suddenly remembered Hanzawa's complaint...

I've recently... Isn't it too dependent on Komaba?

Asama is self-reflective.

I took 2 cans of grape-flavored Fanta and bought a bag of potato chips that I never usually buy.

Asama walked to the cash register to settle the bill.

Playing with your phone with your head down should avoid conversations.

"Ahh Asama-kun, do you live around here? ”

Futama looked at the dish in Asama's hand and asked.

Avoidance of failure.

Pretending to be surprised, Asama replied:

"It's the second time I saw my classmates! How much is it just now? ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's 2,358 yen."

He took out his wallet and handed the cash to Futami's hand.

I noticed that she had two more OK bandages on her fingers.

"Come on for your part-time job!"

Asama grabbed her things and walked towards the outside of the convenience store.

"Which, Asama-kun, can you delay a little?"

Asama stopped and turned around, looking at the badge on the chest of the cashier's suit in Futami,

"It doesn't affect your part-time job."

Futami shook his head, "Wait a minute, I'll just talk to the store manager." ”

After waiting for a while, Futami had already changed into his regular clothes and walked out of the convenience store.

A black wide-brimmed bucket hat, a black knitted cardigan with a t-shirt with a circle of Paris characters and red roses underneath, a pair of casual denim culottes, and small black leather shoes with knee-length black stockings.

The intellectual and casual look makes the second sight look like a model girl in TGC.

Futami glanced at Asama's hands carrying vegetables and snacks, and said:

"Asama-kun, can you take a walk with me?"

Asama was also more concerned about what had happened before, so he simply nodded.

I thought the occasion for chatting,It's going to be in the Tanuki Den Park near the convenience store.,

Unexpectedly, the two of them walked along the path like this, walking silently,

Passing through the streets full of soba restaurants, sushi restaurants, and izakayas,

Cross Sakurada Road, which leads to the Imperial Palace Sakurada Gate, and come to the vicinity of the parking lot of Tokyo Tower Washiba Park.

Tourists line up at the staircase passage next to a tofu shop, and it's a great way to take photos with Tokyo Tower from this vantage point.

Tokyo Tower is lit up in the evening.

It is said that after the Sky Tree, Tokyo Tower, a fake little Paris, was not as popular as it used to be.

But looking at the colorful round lights on the tower body lighting up the night sky, I still feel a kind of beauty mixed with loneliness and warmth.

The two walked to the lawn of Shiba Park, passing by the red rose arch flower wall.

The best time to see the flowers here is in mid-May, when the flowers are slightly withering and the darkening sky allows the flowers and leaves to melt together.

Many tourists from China, speaking Mandarin, stood in the arch to take photos, and the Tokyo Tower shone in the middle of the sky cut by the arch.

"Sorry to excuse me, can you help me take a picture with my companion?"

A Chinese tourist asked Kazumi Asama in Japanese.

Asama glanced at Futami, who nodded.

"Trouble, see you two." Asama handed the shopping bag in his hand to Futami

He replied in Chinese:

"Yes."

Under the surprised expression of the tourist, he took the SLR camera and took a picture of the young couple in their twenties.

The tourist took back his camera and flipped through the photos he had just taken with his girlfriend in a short white skirt.

"Look! It's so good, it's much better than me! ”

He smiled at Asama and asked:

"Are you an international student?"

"No, it's a Japanese countryman."

Asama replied with a smile.

"Then you speak Chinese really well~"

The tourist glanced at Futami, who was carrying a shopping bag, and raised his thumb to Asama and added:

"My girlfriend is also very gentle and beautiful!"

"Thank you, then I wish you all a happy trip!"

At the end of the episode, Asama retrieves the shopping bag from Futami's hand, and the two continue to move towards the north side of Shiba Park.

"I didn't expect Asama-kun to know Chinese.

Asama-kun's appearance just now is completely different from when he was in school. ”

Futami said suddenly.

"Oh, really?"

Asama's state of chatting with his soul fellow just now is indeed a little too relaxed.

"I always feel that Asama-kun is a little more affectionate to foreigners."

Am I already the Japanese version of Chongyang?

"Well, you can't make a bad impression, you have to give the country some face."

Asama replied with a blank face.

"That's right. I just didn't expect to see this side of Asama. ”

Futami laughed to himself.

After walking silently for a while, the location of Tokyo Tower has changed from the north to the west,

The two turned right in front of the Tokyo Prince Hotel and continued east.

Futami Tsukikai suddenly stopped, and Asama also stopped in front of Futami.

"That's... Aren't we in a study group?

Because moving today, there are so many things to deal with...

I didn't come today, so I'm sorry for your trouble. ”

Did it turn out to be a move?

It seems that the Imperial Palace is completely empty today.

"No, but it's better if you come tomorrow."

Asama and Futami looked at each other.

The two looked away at the same time.

"I'll be here tomorrow, and I'm not going to hold you back."

"Hmm."

"Asama-kun, do you have a study group in LINE?"

"Hmm."

"Then you add me a little bit and pull me in."

Although it felt like there was going to be a problem, Asama did it anyway.

The two of them found a chair and sat down, and both picked up their phones.

Sure enough, as soon as the second saw that he had joined the group, the Imperial Palace sent a message

"Second Meeting, are you feeling better?

I sent you notes at the address in the school register, and the neighbor said you moved today? ”

"Well, thank you, I'm fine.

Yes, I've moved, and I already have notes on my side, so I'm sorry for you. ”

When did you have the notes?

Asama looked at the woman who was lying without blinking with speechless eyes.

The second saw that his hands were folded.

"Please, Asama-kun. Wouldn't it be more convenient to have you right in front of me? ”

I'm afraid of these Japanese, bowing and namachi is simply social bullying.

"Okay."

Asama put the drink and potato chips in the bag of vegetables, took out the notebook of each department and put it in the bag of the convenience store, and handed it to Futami.

"Thank you."

After Futami took the notebook, the two looked at the lawn in front of them, and the citizens and tourists who were picnicking or resting and chatting on the lawn had already left, and the sky became a little darker.

Breathing silently, Asama smelled the fragrance of Futami's body.

It's a natural smell, a little sweet, I don't know if it's shampoo, skin care products, or perfume.

Remembering that she was bullied by a group of bad students yesterday, but now she is working outside like nothing, and I have to sigh at her strength.

In Komaba's information, the rumors about Futami are basically all written by Sixteen Nights.

However, her father's company was indeed in a financial crisis, because of the bad international trade environment, the depreciation of the yen, and the accumulation of overdue debts, there were many companies that went bankrupt in this situation in the past two years.

So, is the second sight such a work-study?

"Now, Asama-kun, have you heard about me?"

Futami crossed his fingers and asked in a low voice.

"Which ones? If it's a rumor, I've heard of it. ”

"Rumors... Does Asama-kun believe me that way? ”

"It's not a question of believing it or not, you're working in a convenience store, what else can you have?"

Futami suddenly smiled,

The wind at night in June is also warm,

Once upon a time, she stood on the seashore in the far suburbs, looking up at the starry sky, feeling that the whole world was cold, and she was about to suck the only bit of heat in her chest dry.

Now, even when she walks towards the wind, she doesn't feel cold.

It's too late to come this beautiful summer in Tokyo.

If today's events had come earlier, perhaps...

Futami stood up and bowed to Asama.

"I'm sorry to delay you for so long."

"It's okay, home is close to here."

Asama has understood something,

Second Sight Moon Sea,

is indeed a gentle and strong person, completely different from today's Fukasawa snow,

Fukasawa Yuki is a fake, and Futami is the real Yamato Nadeshiko.

"That's... Good bye? ”

Futami had a worried smile on his face.

Asama looked at the sky, is there any sequelae of bullying?

So he also stood up and replied:

"Your home is not far away? I'll send you. ”

"In Shirokane Takanawa. Then I'll have Ra Asama-kun take me to the front of the station. Thank you~"

He hesitated to send the Buddha to Asama in Nishi, or said goodbye to Futami in front of Shiba-Koen Station on the Mita Line.

Asama saw Futami pit stop.

After a while, Futami suddenly ran back again, stood in front of Asama, stared into his eyes, and asked in a low voice:

"Asama-kun... Yesterday, was that you? ”

No, I don't, don't talk nonsense.

"What?"

“... Not... Nothing, don't care~"

Futami smiled and waved, pit in, and disappeared into the crowd.

calmed down his heartbeat and sighed with emotion,

I didn't laugh often at school, but today I feel like a girl who loves to laugh.

"The smile in the contrast is more real and moving."

Asama muttered to himself.

...

Touch the fingerprint combination lock and return to the apartment.

A figure jumped out,

"Ah~~~~~ water ~~~~~~~! I'm going to starve to death!! ”

Cut, didn't you die?
