Watanabe Toru leaned against the tram door and yawned.

After giving out the test papers to Tamamo Haomi last night, he started learning advanced English again. This was a big burden for him with only three points of physical strength.

He doesn't feel hard.

Ever since he said in the office yesterday that he wanted to be a "Tokyo Handsome Guy" and understood that before going to bed every day, he must be better than the last time he went to bed, he suddenly felt that the process of acquiring knowledge was a very beautiful thing.

Doing what you should do is surprisingly good.

"Next stop, Yotsuya Station, Yotsuya Station."

He cheered up a little, blended in with the crowd and left the station, walking up the ramp to Kamikawa High School.

After the Golden Week, the sunshine became slightly warmer, and the meridians of the zelkova leaves on both sides of the slope were clearly illuminated.

Sometimes a cool wind suddenly blows. Although it is early May, it feels more like a day in early summer.

After listening to the morning class carefully and finishing lunch faster than usual, he said to Osamu Kunii and Keisuke Saito:

"I'll go to the club and you can eat slowly."

"okay."

During the morning break, the two of them already knew that he was entrusted by Koizumi Aina.

Watanabe Toru went back to the classroom to get the test paper, walked through the elevated corridor between the school building and the club building, and came to the Human Observation Department.

Kiyono Rin is eating, alone.

Watanabe Toru said "Excuse me", but she just nodded and tasted the dishes that looked very high-end at the same pace.

After she finished her meal and put away her lunch box, Toru Watanabe asked:

"I plan to improve my English reading recently. Do you have any recommended novels?"

"To become a "Tokyo handsome boy"?"

"To become a "Tokyo Handsome Boy"."

Rin Kiyono took out a white handkerchief from the hidden pocket of her pleated skirt and gently wiped her lips.

After wiping, she folded the handkerchief and put it back in her pocket. It was flat and without any bulges.

Watanabe Toru's eyes kept following the white handkerchief.

He found it strange that some islanders had the habit of wearing handkerchiefs.

Qingye Rin picked up the hardcover book on the table, lowered his eyes, and read the text carefully.

The midday sun in early summer hit the top of her head, and her long, lead-black hair hung down on her shoulders, reflecting the light slightly.

Conversation...over?

What's next?

never mind.

Watanabe Toru withdrew his gaze and glanced at the clock on the wall. Twenty minutes had passed during the lunch break. How come Tamamo is not here yet?

He hated people who were not punctual. Just when he was getting impatient and slightly angry, he suddenly thought: he only said he would do four test papers today, but he didn't ask him to come at noon.

It's just that he unilaterally believed that the other party would seize the time at noon.

The impatience and anger that had just arisen in Toru Watanabe's heart immediately dissipated, and he began to reflect on himself.

If Tamamo Homi happened to open the door and come in just now, her tone wouldn't be very fierce, but she would be a little dissatisfied, right?

The other person opens the door with the thought of being praised, "Look, I am so proactive, sacrificing my lunch break to study for tutoring." Once you do this, it will dampen the other person's enthusiasm for learning.

No matter what happens next time, you must explain everything carefully and don't take it for granted. In addition, you must reflect on yourself before getting angry. Once you are sure that the responsibility is not on your side, it is not too late to get angry again.

With the idea of ​​​​punishing himself and making himself remember this lesson, Watanabe Tetsuru sat in the mobile classroom, looked at the four test papers, and did them all in his mind.

The sound of the lunch break coming to an end brought him back to his senses from the test paper.

Watanabe Toru organized the test papers with satisfaction.

'This time the bell rings, I have made progress compared to the last time. Now I am only fifteen years old, and there are still 3,650 days before I turn twenty-five. It is hard to imagine how amazing I was at that time.

You should become a perfect "Tokyo handsome guy", right?'

"Put away that disgusting smile of yours."

Watanabe Toru glanced at Kiyono Rin dissatisfied: "I didn't smile."

"You smiled."

"I have had this expression since I was born. I am not boasting, but I have never cried."

"Are you finally so insane that you are talking nonsense? There is a mental sanatorium in my home. It has a nice environment and has small animals. Since you are my member, I can let you stay for free."

"Thank you for your kindness, I'd better keep it for myself."

Watanabe Toru stood up and prepared to leave.

"Give."

"This is?"

"Remember to return it to me after you finish it."

Watanabe Toru watched Kiyono Rin leave the club classroom and looked down at the hardcover book in his hand.

He casually opened it from the middle, and it was all in English. He closed the book, and the title on the cover was "The Great Gatsby".

"The Great Gatsby," he murmured.

This is a follow-up to his question at the beginning, "What is the best book to read to improve your English reading level?"

'What, aren't you already fond of me? Unfortunately, I hate you very much. But for the sake of lending me books, I'll let you go next time even if there are convenient medicines.

'

Watanabe Toru weighed the book in his hand with satisfaction. The hardcover book was very heavy.

In the afternoon, there is another damn physical education class, which is combined with the second class. The project is a fifteen-minute timed run around the playground.

Three minutes later, the girl and the boy met.

"So weak." she said.

"You're not bad either." He praised.

"Let me state in advance," she took a deep breath here, "I don't want to win the first place in the school marathon competition if I just want to." Here she took a deep breath again, "there is no problem."

"The fourth rule of "Tokyo Handsome Guys" is, "You must have the confidence to achieve anything." He swallowed. "Do you think that winning the first place in the school in the marathon competition is such a thing?" Here he swallowed hard.

, “I can’t do it?”

"lie."

"I, Watanabe, never lie."

"Ah."

The two of them didn't speak for a while, just competing in silence.

Sometimes they were in front, sometimes behind, and most of the time they were jogging feebly side by side.

Fifteen minutes later, Watanabe Tetsu was lying on the shiny green lawn, looking at the blue sky, and decided to start exercising from tomorrow.

"Watanabe, you are too weak!" Osamu Kunii's mocking voice came to his ears.

"Would you like to wash your face in the sink?" Keisuke Saito invited.

Watanabe Toru covered his eyes with his arms: "Leave me alone."

After the two of them left, he lay down until he felt like moving, and then he propped himself up and sat up.

"Hmm~~" He groaned and twisted his waist and neck.

When I turned around, I saw Rin Kiyono doing soothing stretching exercises alone in the distance.

After a while, some girls walked over and said something to her. After she shook her head coldly, the girls walked away again.

After returning to the classroom, he took off his sportswear and put on his shirt and trousers. After the last class, Toru Watanabe urged Tamamo to complete four test papers in the activity room.

The other party was very cooperative and was immersed in the scam of "betting on the question paper", which did not waste Toru Watanabe's absence from work.

This is of course not because Tamamo is so beautiful, but because of Mr. Koizumi, who likes him the most.

After taking a shower in the evening, he began to read the hardcover book lent to him by Kiyono Rin on the low table in the rental house.

There was a short English sentence in the preface. He first looked it up in a dictionary and tried to translate it himself. Then he looked up the translation on his mobile phone and compared it with each other.

The approximate meaning of the short sentence:

[Then wear a golden hat, if you can impress her;]

【If you can jump high, please jump for her too;】

[Until she shouted loudly: "Dear lover, the lover who wears a golden hat and dances high, I must have you!"]

"This sentence is saying: To impress a woman, no, you should do anything. After you fully improve yourself, things will naturally become easier?"

Watanabe Toru nodded thoughtfully, feeling that his knowledge had increased again, whether it was about attracting women or the accumulation of English vocabulary.

"This is just the preface of a book. If this continues, even if there is no system, I, Watanabe, will be destined to be great." He said proudly.
Chapter completed!
