I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

Ying Lili sighed in a rare mature tone.

She is similar. On Sundays, she also has to worry about various matters related to the work with her senior who is now a freshman in the Faculty of Literature at Keio University.

For example, this Sunday, I will go to Fuzugawa to be interviewed.

I’ve been a comic book artist for so long, but I’ve never been interviewed before!

After thinking about this, Eriri could only pray that the person who came to interview her that day would not ask about the book.

As a successful artist, and a girl at that, let’s stop talking about books and such!

After school starts, some people are busy with their studies, while others worry about their careers.

"I really want to lie on the sofa and do nothing..."

Eriri muttered with narrowed eyes.

I am busy with manuscripts every day and am urged to submit manuscripts every day. Life is so fulfilling.

The days of starting work a week before a fan convention are gone.

Chapter 150 Sakura in Tokyo

Every year, people go to see cherry blossoms. The cherry blossoms in Tokyo bloom in late March or between late March and mid-April. This is the best time to see cherry blossoms in Tokyo.

"I heard that the speed of cherry blossoms falling is five centimeters per second."

"I beg you to stop talking."

While at school, Eriri was muttering about the cherry tree in the courtyard that was about to finish its blooming season, and the next moment, Aki Tomoya's complaints were heard.

By mid-April, cherry blossoms in the Tokyo metropolitan area have begun to bloom.

Cherry blossoms are beautiful, but the blooming period of each tree is very short.

If there is time, Akitomo is also willing to go cherry blossom viewing with his family or friends.

However, the people around him, including him, are all busy people. His parents' work becomes increasingly busy before the Golden Week, and business trips abroad are commonplace.

A year has passed, and Aki Tomoya thought about his actions from last spring break to now.

Recalling this time last year, he glanced at Kato Megumi to Eriri's right.

During the spring break last year, when he saw Kato Megumi walking on the slope under the cherry blossom rain, he had the idea of ​​making a game. After being frightened by the subsequent plan in his mind, Aki Tomoya immediately decided to go to college.

I have been preparing for the exam for a year now. The first mock exam was completed last month, and the next mock exam will be in June.

Before I knew it, I was already in my third year of high school.

After the flower season in Tokyo, we will review until the end of April, when the Golden Week begins.

During this year's Golden Week, Tomoya Aki's schedule is the same as last year. It should be said that since the tutoring classes were changed to six days a week, his schedule has not changed much.

Spend most of your time reviewing and take occasional breaks.

April 27th, this year's Golden Week starts tomorrow. Except for the two days of classes at the beginning of May, the next week will be full of consecutive holidays.

"Renya, are you free to come together during the Golden Week?"

When school was over, Kiyako Kamigo asked.

"We can be together on Sunday."

For Tomoya Aki, the Golden Week is no different from ordinary days. There are seven days in a week, six of which are spent at school, and Sunday is free.

On Sundays, I would occasionally review with my friends at the Metropolitan Library.

During this year's Golden Week, I also spent most of the time in the cram school. My parents were either traveling or back to their hometown in Nagano.

"It's still the same. Thanks to you, I still don't have time to play during the Golden Week."

This year, as he is also preparing for his entrance exams, Yoshihiko Kamigo is spending most of his time reviewing.

But after all, the goals are different, and Yoshihiko Kamigo is under much less pressure. It's not that he really doesn't have any extra time.

After chatting for a while after school, Akitomo rode his bike to the cram school.

……

"Eri, do you want to travel during this Golden Week?"

As soon as Eriri returned home, her mother, Sayuri Sawamura, asked her.

The remaining days at the end of April are consecutive holidays, and except for the first two days in May, the rest of the days are also consecutive holidays. This is Japan's Golden Week.

Taking advantage of this time, traveling is the first choice.

Compared to last year when she didn't go anywhere, Sayuri Sawamura seems to have made a detailed travel plan this year.

But to her disappointment, Eriri had no interest in this matter at all.

"No thanks. I have a lot of things to do during the Golden Week."

Eriri replied with a lack of interest, and sighed at the same time, as if she felt regretful about something.

Hearing her daughter's answer, Sayuri Sawamura was surprised and said, "Eri, you have been busier than before since you came ashore!"

After becoming a comic book artist, she no longer has to rush to finish her manuscripts before fan exhibitions like before, but has started a more fulfilling life. As a mother, Sayuri Sawamura has seen all the changes in Eriri.

After last year's fan exhibition, Eriri thought things through clearly about many things.

"Now I can continue to use the name Kashiwagi Eri to do what I like. After I go to Tokyo University of the Arts, I don't know what will happen in a few years."

Eriri replied casually.

Eriri is not sure how long the name Kashiwagi Eri can be used, but now that she has landed a job, she is still very happy to work with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

"Eri, just do what you want to do. Mom will support you."

Sayuri Sawamura touched Eriri's head.

Ying Lili smiled when she heard it, but didn't take it too seriously.

However, her mother's words still touched her a little, but who can predict the future...

When Eriri was about to go upstairs, Sayuri Sawamura suddenly asked, "Eriri, do you plan to stay in Neon forever, or do you want to go somewhere else for further studies in the future?"

Hearing her question, Eriri paused and thought for a moment: "That will be a long time in the future. I'll just stay in Tokyo for now!"

As if trying to avoid the topic, after answering, Eriri quickly went upstairs and returned to her room.

Eriri hasn't started thinking about what to do after college yet, as she feels it's too early.

But for now, staying in Tokyo is better than going anywhere else.

"He has really changed a lot. An Yi is doing a great job..."

Sayuri Sawamura sighed softly.

To be honest, Sayuri Sawamura felt a lot of trouble when she occasionally thought about raising Eriri to be a naive and ignorant homebody without instilling the necessary "common sense" in her.

After all, Eriri is much better now than before.

Sayuri Sawamura is now worried about one thing: "Is there still a chance for that boy Aki and Eriri?"

Deep down, she still admires the current Tomoya Aki.

In the past, I thought it was appropriate for Tomoya Aki and Eriri to be friends, but being lovers would be a death sentence.

But now, it would be better if An Yilun could also take the liberal arts exam. Her family has considerable resources in Neon.

Anyone who can graduate from the first grade of the University of Tokyo has a lot of private land to choose from.

However, Sayuri Sawamura could clearly feel from Tomoya Aki that the boy was not interested in that kind of thing at all, and was even very disgusted with it.

Or, very alert?

During the following Golden Week, along with cooperating with Kasumigaoka Utaha in the publishing house's promotion and arranged interviews, their work was very popular.

However, during the Golden Week, Eriri once again received a call from Akane Benizaka.

Compared to Kasumi Shiko, Akinosaka Akane seems to be more optimistic about Kashiwagi Eri.

Eriri had no interest in this at all.

She used to admire that senior very much, but now, she just wants to be an ordinary person who likes their club's works.

Ying Lili knew very well who to cooperate with and what she wanted.

At the end of the Golden Week, when I talked about this with Kasumigaoka Utaha, she didn't care much and talked about other things: "Aki has a very close relationship with a girl in his cram school. That girl is going to take the Keio entrance exam. Do you think he will suddenly change his mind next year and go to Keio with that girl? Support each other and encourage each other. Eriri, you have to be careful."

"..."

Although it was the first time that Eriri knew that Tomoya Aki was on good terms with girls from other schools, she didn't think that Kasumigaoka Utaha was really reminding her with good intentions.

Chapter 151 Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite

"The next mock exam will be on the 9th and 10th of next month, so everyone should prepare well."

At two o'clock in the afternoon on the first Saturday after the end of the Golden Week, Mr. Tsubota reminded everyone in the school of the date of the next national mock exam.

"It's another mock exam!"

Sayaka Kudo, who had not performed consistently in the last mock exam, sighed as if complaining.

After the mock exams in March, perhaps because she had too much time scheduled for review, Kudo Sayaka occasionally looked a little out of spirits, and one could sense deep fatigue in the depths of her eyes.

"Kudou-san, don't push yourself!"

Junko Harumi put her hands on Sayaka Kudo's shoulders and rubbed them gently.

"In fact, if you study steadily like this, you still have a good chance of getting into your first choice, the Keio College of Literature. Don't force yourself just because you failed the last mock exam. That was just a mock exam based on the Unified Entrance Exam, not Keio's entrance exam. The key is still Keio's past exam questions."

The judgment of the mock exam is of reference value, but it is just a reference.

Sayaka Kudo's mentality is still not stable enough, and Junko Harumi needs her to take care of her more.

On the other hand, having passed the last mock exam, Fumino Furuhashi is more confident about the subsequent review stages. It doesn't matter if she can't get into a top university, but being able to study astronomy at a good university is already the best result.

You know, in May last year, with her science and mathematics scores, Fumino Furuhashi didn't even have a chance of being admitted to the science department of a private university.

"Guqiao, you did well on the test today. If your score is good enough, you can try to apply to a national university."

After helping Fumino Furuhashi lay a solid foundation, there was finally hope, especially after the last mock exam, the news that she passed was very encouraging.

If she could improve her science to the same level as her liberal arts, then she could really go to any national university she wanted.

"Teacher Tsubota has gone too far..."

Fumino Furuhashi knew clearly that national universities were not even within his consideration. Even if he could pass the first test, his hopes of passing the science and mathematics exam in the second test were too slim.

My biggest hope is to be admitted to the astronomy department of a good university, and this expectation has already been raised.

In the past, Fumino Furuhashi had lower requirements for university.

However, the situation gradually improved in Qingfeng Academy, and after seeing the results bit by bit, she gradually gained more confidence.

"There's only half a year left..."

Aki Tomoya raised his head and sighed softly.

The first test will be in January next year, and then the second test, so there is only more than half a year left.

There isn't much time left.

Everyone is preparing for the mock exam next month.

They reviewed until 5:30 in the afternoon and the school took a break. Aki Tomoya straightened his back and rubbed his neck with his hand.

As he didn't have the habit of bringing his own lunch box, Tomoya Aki just found a restaurant on the street to have dinner.

When he returned to the downstairs of the school, he saw Furuno Furuhashi and Sayaka Kudo talking to a woman in professional attire.

Sayaka Kudo was standing next to Fumino Furuhashi and holding her arm, and the person in front of them, Tomoya Aki still remembered.

"From Ichinose Academy?"

Tomoya Aki frowned and looked at the teacher Mafuyu Kirisu who came to Ichinose Academy with confusion.
