【No boyfriend, can date. 】

Beiyuan Zun was not surprised that these two were targets. He tilted his head and looked at them calmly: "Tomorrow we will be opponents. You still dare to come here? You are so bold!"

"We are rivals on the court, but we can be friends in private."

Yanagisaka Arisu smiled faintly.

"You want to be my friend?"

Kitahara Takashi smiled ambiguously.

"is it not OK?"

"You can, but you have to prove your strength."

"How do you want to prove it?"

Yanagisaka Arisu suddenly became interested.

"V I fifty."

Kitahara Takashi said, taking out the payment code from his phone and placing it in front of her.

Yanagisaka Arisu: "..."

Why does she feel that Kitahara Tsutomu is like a welfare girl, and the threshold for making friends is fifty yuan?

Yanagisaka Arisu took out his phone and scanned it: "It's been transferred."

Kitahara Takashi glanced down and handed the phone over again: "I said 500,000, not 50 yen."

Yanagisaka Arisu: "?"

Driving up duck prices?

Chapter 227 Hi, Mom!

The ambiguous night flows in the city.

The soft lights in the wine house blocked out the night and stopped him from entering.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, which should have been the peak time for izakayas and pubs.

Because Japanese men usually don't go home immediately after get off work, but go out to find a place to have a drink with their colleagues and leaders.

For Japanese office workers, attending social events is part of their job and is seen as a sign of strong work ability.

If there are no social engagements, it means the position is not important.

In Japan, if a husband comes home on time, he may be regarded as a loser by his wife, so many Japanese men choose to go to a pub or sushi restaurant for a drink or two after get off work to delay returning home.

Even during peak hours, there were only two tables of customers in the tavern where Kitahara Takashi worked, and business was very bleak.

However, the old couple who own the wine shop don't seem to care much about whether the business is good or bad.

After serving the customer's order, the two returned to the counter and went about their own business.

"Come to think of it, this is my first time in a place like this."

Hoshino likes to eat a little and doesn't dare to eat more.

She is afraid of getting fat.

As an idol, you need to pay attention to your body management at all times.

After she couldn't eat anymore, Hoshino Ai's big, bright black eyes kept moving, and she began to look at the guests at another table in the restaurant curiously.

In addition to Kitahara Takashi's table, there were guests at another table, both men and women, most of whom were wearing suits. They looked like business people who were attending a cocktail party after get off work.

"I've never been to a store like this before, especially after 9pm!"

Ichinose Honami immediately responded.

There was a hint of excitement in her voice.

"Me too."

Yanagisaka Arisu picked up the free barley tea on the table and took a sip, then turned to look at Kitahara Takashi.

"Kitahara-kun, what about you?"

Beiyuan Zun picked up the strawberry milk wine on the table and took a sip: "I come here quite often, so I guess."

He hasn't been to an izakaya very often, but when he was in college, he often went to roadside stalls with his roommates, so it's almost the same.

"Sister Yukino, Sister Kotonoha, what about you?"

Yukino's entire attention was focused on the little white cat on Kitahara Tsutomu's lap. She was thinking about how to please him and casually replied, "I won't be here at night."

If it weren't for Kitahara Takashi, she wouldn't be here at all.

Katsura Kotonoha carefully wiped the beer foam from the corner of Kitahara Takashi's mouth, and then answered Hoshino Ai's question in a gentle voice: "This is also the first time I've come to a place like this with Takashi."

She had never dared to imagine coming here with a boy before.

Ichinose Honami's eyes dimmed slightly as she watched Katsura Kotonoha wipe the corners of Kitahara Tsune's mouth.

"Kitahara-kun, can I ask you a question?"

Yanagisaka Arisu was paying attention to the expressions of everyone present.

After a brief exchange, she roughly understood the personalities of the people at her table.

It seems that Gui Yanye is submissive and does whatever her elders tell her to do. She is what other people call a good student.

Hoshino Ai is a bit rough-headed and carefree. She seems to be a fool, but in fact she is very good at hiding herself.

Yanagisaka Arisu discovered that she didn't even need to think when she needed to say something flattering.

Even if she is unhappy, she will pretend to be happy in order to make everyone happy. She is the kind of person who will sacrifice herself to please the group.

Yukinoshita Yukino and Hoshino Ai are two extremes.

She will not deliberately cater to the people around her like Hoshino Ai. Even if she is isolated, she will stick to her own ideas.

Of course, this type of people often have terrible interpersonal relationships. It is obvious that they have few friends and are not welcome in the community.

As for Kitahara Takashi...

To be honest, Yanagisaka Arisu couldn't see through him.

The first time I saw him was on the court.

The impression Kitahara Takashi gave on the court was that he was confident, arrogant and unruly, but after tonight's contact, Yanagisaka Arisu discovered that Kitahara Takashi was low-key and easy-going in private. Although he was a bit cynical and playboy-like, he was completely different from his appearance on the court.

Yanagisaka Arisu speculated that Kitahara Takashi was deliberately acting like this in front of the media, just like celebrities always like to establish a persona to attract a fixed group of fans.

But the feeling given by Kitahara Takashi is different from that of a simple character setting.

Yanagisaka Arisu had a feeling that both the personality he displayed on the field and in private were Kitahara Takashi's true character.

This made it harder for her to see through Beiyuan Zun.

Kitahara Takashi lowered his head and sent a message to Hayasaka Ai: "Don't ask, if you ask, I've loved you!"

Yanagisaka Arisu was used to Kitahara Takashi's constant nonsense, so she smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask you why you chose Aoba instead of coming to High-Level Cultivation."

When Yanagisaka Arisu asked this question, Ichinose Honami looked at Kitahara Takashi, and even Yukinoshita Yukino, who was playing with the cat, had her attention diverted and silently pricked up her ears.

She also wanted to know why Kitahara Takashi chose Aoba.

"If Kitahara-kun had come to Kokusei, you wouldn't have to be so exhausted at this Koshien."

"Excluding Kitahara-kun, Private Aoba is no match for us."

"Although it may sound a bit arrogant, in terms of individual strength at each position in a single round, our highly trained talents are the strongest."

"Whether it's Aoba, Shuka, or Sobu High School, none of them are as good as High School Cultivation. Both Kitahara-kun and Coach Yukinoshita have to admit this."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino finally raised her head.

There was dissatisfaction in her eyes, but she didn't refute anything.

She has studied high breeding.

This highly developed team has no sense of teamwork. The entire team fights on its own, just like Real Madrid, which recruited all the superstars to form a galactico without considering whether they are suitable or not. They have no sense of cooperation at all.

"If you had the chance, Yanagisaka, who would you like to be?"

Without even raising his eyelids, Kitahara Tsutomu suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Does this have anything to do with my problem?"

Yanagisaka Yusu smiled.

"I don't want to be anyone else, I'm happy with myself."

Some people want to be like Hachiman Hikigaya, some want to be like Miyuki Shirogane, and some want to replace Tomoya Aki.

But Kitahara no Takashi is different.

He doesn't want to be anyone else.

"Is there any connection between joining Highly Cultivated and becoming yourself?"

Yanagisaka Arisu was a little confused.

"Yes, if I want to join High Level Training, I have to follow your rules."

Beiyuan Zun took a sip of fruit beer, moistened his throat, and continued, "Speaking of which, why should I? Must I follow the rules you set?"

"And don't you think the rules in your school are weird?"

Kitahara Takashi felt quite puzzled by the High-Level Cultivation's closed-door policy.

And the battle of wits they come up with is even more interesting.

A group of high school students don’t go to school and engage in intellectual battles every day. Is this a school or society?

He came here to study, not to act in a palace drama.

Compared to the high-level training, the atmosphere of Aoba campus is like heaven.

There is no intrigue, no school bullying, and the school atmosphere is harmonious.

Kitahara Zunlai Qingye has never been bullied, discriminated against or despised.

The only time he was ostracized was in the baseball club, but even then no one targeted him.

Even Ryuya Anaii, who was deprived of his only spot in the team, did not hold a grudge against him. Instead, he hoped that he could lead the team to go further.

When his right arm was dislocated, he took the initiative to carry the bag.

This has nothing to do with whether he knows Kamikawa Nari and Yozakura Hitomi, but the overall atmosphere of the school is like this.

In Kitahara's opinion, this is what school should be like.

"I have successfully graduated from your school, but what can I get?"

"Working?"

"I'm sorry, but Shuchiin and Aoba can give you everything that Highly Cultivated can, and even more."

Kitahara Takashi came to Shuchiin, Aoba studied, and was able to meet some important people. It would be better for him to go to High-Level Cultivation, and he wouldn't have to do anything else and engage in intrigue.

"And what I want, highly nurtured can't give me."

"what do you want?"

Yanagisaka Arisu continued to ask.

"I want connections, status, and resources. Can you provide them with that?"
