I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

I once thought of using this to take revenge on those people who only looked at others with prejudice, but now I can't seem to find the motivation to do that kind of thing.

"Xia Shizi can be considered a like-minded person, but hasn't another like-minded person whom I have known for more than ten years also changed direction now?"

After school, this was the only sentence that Eriri could think of.

Her mind was still thinking about what Tomoya Aki said to her on Line, wondering what it meant to cherish the present and the future. She seemed to have never really thought about it.

The peers I occasionally meet at family gatherings are the kind of guys who look like they might run away at any time.

Eriri seemed to understand why she hated those people of her age who approached her at parties, and those who gathered around her mother and father.

She smiles so elegantly, but it makes people feel sick.

It turned out that they were all fake smiles that were indistinguishable from real ones.

"Even a friendship of more than ten years can be diluted by time. Is it really reliable to think about establishing a new front with Kasumigaoka?"

Eriri thought in confusion.

For some reason, some things really became more and more complicated in her eyes.

"You're so annoying, Tomoya. Wouldn't it be nice if I could just watch these annoying things and stay carefree like when we first met?"

Eriri sat in the studio with her head buried in her knees.

"Sawamura-kun, it's time to close the school!"

"Thank you. I understand..."

Afterwards, Eriri returned home and couldn't help asking her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, "Can I always do what I want to do?"

Chapter 44 Obasan

The sunlight penetrates the glass of the school library and shines into the room.

As June approaches and the temperature rises, students have already changed into their summer uniforms.

"Aki is amazing. She was at the top of the class in this exam. Is she the kind of person who doesn't show off his talent but is actually very smart?"

Holding the reference book that she was about to borrow, Kato Megumi, a girl in the same class as Aki Tomoya, couldn't help but express her feelings after greeting her classmates as usual.

It has become common to meet school celebrities in the library.

As classmates, sometimes I would meet classmates in the library and exchange a few polite words with them.

"It just took me a little longer than the others. Kato-kun, if you work harder, you can probably do the same."

Aki Tomoya responded calmly, while his fingers were still following the numbers to find the reference book he had read last time.

After school starts in April, if you review well and go to cram school on time, you will see results no matter who you are.

It's not that I take it for granted, but I'm just moving forward at a steady pace.

"Aki is really modest. Kamigo passed the Chinese language test this time, and his English score barely crossed the death line. Everyone in the class knows that he will tutor you every day at noon and after school when he is free."

Kato Megumi still remembers vividly the scene when the results came out, when Uego Yoshihiko shouted in the classroom because his Chinese score passed and his English score dramatically exceeded the passing line by a little.

In the small girl group that Kato Megumi joined, the other girls also called the combination the "Otaku Front."

Kato Megumi has complained about this title, but no one paid much attention to her words.

"It's just a midterm exam. That guy is complacent now, but he will change his face again when he stays for tutoring during the summer vacation."

Aki Tomoya shook his head slightly.

He was so happy just for passing two more subjects, but he didn't think about that if he didn't follow up, and waited until the end of the semester to cram, and stayed back to study until he passed after failing a subject, he would probably have a different expression on his face by then.

Just thinking about his friend's desperate look, Akitomo found it amusing.

However, compared to Yoshihiko Kamigo, I did not lag behind in Chinese and Japanese history in this midterm exam, as most of them were things I had already reviewed.

How would you rate Toyonosaki Academy's midterm exam?

Akitomo thought about it and decided that it was probably something that he didn't need to deal with too much, which meant it wasn't too challenging.

But similarly, if it is a final exam, like other schools, Fengzhizaki Academy will let students who fail stay in school during the holidays for tutoring until they pass.

"Really? Excuse me, I'll leave first, Amaki-san."

Kato Megumi looked at the reference book in her hand and nodded, then turned to say goodbye to Aki Tomoya.

Her midterm exam results this time were also average, but if she wants to apply to a university, like the private Fuzugawa University, she will need to be a little nervous and not be too lazy.

"take care."

Aki Tomoya nodded in reply and took out the reference book he was looking for from the bookshelf.

After Kato Megumi completed the debit procedures with the librarian, she slowly walked out of the library holding the book.

"I feel like if things continue like this, Aki-san and Kamigo-san will become the most obvious contrast in the class."

Kato Megumi muttered to herself.

She knew very well what it meant to be admitted to the medical department. For example, her cousin Keiichi Kato became a person that everyone boasted about and was proud of because he was admitted to the medical university.

He is the pride of all his relatives.

Therefore, if Aki Tomoya really enters the medical school of the University of Tokyo one day, it will definitely be a cruel thing to compare him with his good friend Kamigo Yoshihiko during his student days!

This is also why Kato Megumi feels that if things continue like this, these two people in the class will become the most obvious contrast in their possible future class reunions.

At least Kato Megumi can still see hope in Aki Tomoya, but as for Kamigo Yoshihiko, as far as this midterm exam is concerned, he is essentially only three-point enthusiastic and will soon dissipate.

Unless the person behind also comes to change his ways, but the possibility of that is somewhat slim.

The lunch break ended unknowingly, and the afternoon classes passed in a flash.

After school, Aki Tomoya stayed in the library until closing time as usual, and then bought a bento on the way back.

His parents called from out of town and said they would be back in June. They asked him if he had enough living expenses and if not, he could ask relatives to send them.

Aki Tomoya just told them to work with peace of mind, as he didn't have anything to spend money on recently.

Riding his bicycle to the doorstep of his home, Akito Tomoya suddenly noticed a black car parked at the street corner. He could only see the rear of the car and couldn't tell what brand it was, but it always felt weird to see it appear there so suddenly.

"It looks familiar, and I have a bad feeling..."

Amaki Tomoya muttered subconsciously, and for some reason he suddenly felt like someone was staring at him.

When he parked his bicycle and prepared to enter the house, a noble figure suddenly squeezed into his sight.

A little dazzled, Aki Tomoya raised his head and looked to the side. He didn't know when an adult woman wearing an expensive kimono and with a dignified temperament appeared next to him.

"Obaa-san, what can I do for you?"

With a twitching eye, Tomoya Aki asked Sayuri Sawamura who had somehow run to his doorstep.

If you just look at Sayuri Sawamura's appearance, you can see a lot of Eriri's shadow on her pretty face. After all, the latter's excellent genes were inherited from the person in front of you.

In addition, because she takes good care of herself, she doesn't look like a mother at all. If you put her next to Eriri, some people might mistake her for an older sister who is a few years older than Eriri.

However, Tomoya Aki, who knew this aunt's background very well, felt a little weird because of her appearance.

But to be honest, Tomoya Aki has very few interactions with Sayuri Sawamura. Compared to Sayuri Sawamura, he is better at dealing with Eriri.

"Isn't there something wrong with Amai-kun's old lady?"

Sayuri Sawamura pursed her lips and replied, her eyes seeming to show some dissatisfaction with being called "Obasan".

"I'm using honorifics properly, Aunt Sawamura."

Tomoya Aki dared to guarantee that he was 100% using honorifics when speaking to Sayuri Sawamura, and he had done enough homework on his tone.

"Really? I feel like Amami-kun has some misunderstandings. Maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Chapter 45 Sorry for disturbing you, I'm sinking into the river (more)

Tomoya Aki was deeply impressed by Sayuri Sawamura.

It's not only because the other party is the mother of his childhood sweetheart, but also because her innate demeanor leaves a deep impression on people at first sight.

The wife of a diplomat, her family seems to have a very strong background and played a crucial role in Eriri's development as an otaku. When Eriri was creating as Kashiwagi Eri, her works were represented by this couple at doujin exhibitions.

Eriri inherited excellent genes from the previous generation, and her flat chest is definitely inherited from the love from her mother Sayuri Sawamura.

It can be said that if Sayuri Sawamura's twin ponytails were changed to a different color and she wore colored contact lenses, she could totally look like her daughter...

As for the twin tails, Aki Tomoya actually wanted to complain.

"You are already so old, is it fun to still act like a young girl?"

Although he complained like this in his heart, Tomoya Aki would definitely not show any sign of it.

After all, the other person is your elder, so you should be polite.

Moreover, if you are beautiful, you can do whatever you want. Whether it is because of good maintenance or makeup, you do have the capital to act young.

"Long time no see, how are you these days, An Yi-kun?"

Sayuri Sawamura holds a folding fan in her hand, and the long sleeves of her gorgeous kimono are dragging beautiful waves, making people sigh that this person is really suitable for wearing kimono.

It would be better if the figure was better, it doesn't need to be too good, just a little bit more convexity will make the curves under the kimono perfect.

"Thanks to you, Hetai is healthy."

Tomoya Aki replied politely. He was becoming more and more adept at this kind of courtesy that had integrated into his daily life.

Today, because of Sayuri Sawamura's sudden visit, Aki Tomoya was extremely frightened!

"It's a pity that my parents are busy with official duties. As a son, I am sorry that I can't entertain you well. Please bear with me."

Since you want to be polite, An Yilun will give you the full set.

Even with all this politeness, he still had a lot more politeness to offer, as long as Sayuri Sawamura didn't mind the trouble.

Seeing Aki Tomoya being so polite, Sawamura Sayuri could also sense a hint of strangeness.

In the past ten years or so, Tomoya Aki has had quite a lot of contact with Eriri, but his opportunities to contact Sayuri Sawamura can only be described as few.

Regarding the relationship between Tomoya Aki and Eriri, Sayuri Sawamura and her husband did not interfere with them.

Eriri is essentially a stay-at-home girl, so a kid like Aki Tomoya who shares the same hobbies with her and is her childhood sweetheart is definitely indispensable.

Simply put, two children were playing there, having normal interpersonal interactions, and nothing out of the ordinary was going on. Was there any need to interfere?

But for now, there was a small problem in their friendship, and now she felt it necessary to step forward.

In short, Sayuri Sawamura is now just a mother who is worried about her daughter's friendship problems.

"No, it's not like that. My daughter is taken care of by Amami-kun on weekdays, so I should thank you for that."

Whether it's from the heart, a polite remark, or an implication, it doesn't matter.

In short, what Tomoya Aki saw was that the smile on a mother's face was tinged with a hint of trouble in front of her daughter's childhood sweetheart.

After seeing this, Akitomo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, thinking that Eriri was really worrying.

Well, Sayuri Sawamura, as a mother, came over to help her daughter with her friendship problems.

"That's not a big deal. Your daughter and I have known each other for more than ten years. How should I describe it? We are childhood sweethearts? But sometimes, you may find some issues difficult for me."

Aki Tomoya's tone maintained the formal honorific used by Sayuri Sawamura.

It is also telling the other party that even though they are childhood sweethearts, he doesn't know Eriri as well as her mother.

So, can we end the pleasantries now and get to the point?

Although he hated this kind of polite and troublesome way of communication, when he thought that he was the one who started it, he had nothing to say.

"Is it convenient for Amai-kun now? Can I take up some of your time?"

Sayuri Sawamura asked, staring into Tomoya Aki's eyes, looking at the boy in front of her in a new way.

Unlike the Tomoya Aki he knew in the past, this boy in front of him, although they had known each other for more than ten years after leaving the otaku, there was a sense of strangeness in their current interactions.

Just thinking about how Eriri turned her head and buried her head in her arms, then clutched her phone, and recalled what Tomoya Aki said when she saw it on the Line interface, Sayuri Sawamura knew that she could not treat Tomoya Aki now with the previous standards.

"There will definitely be time to entertain you, please come in."

Tomoya Aki nodded calmly, took out the key, opened the door, and invited Sayuri Sawamura in.
