Chapter 2 Shinta's troubles
"The so-called modern continuous tense sentence pattern refers to the action or state of existence that is currently taking place. Well... Arata-san, could you please give an example using this sentence pattern?"
"Hi!"
…
"Okay, the exam time is over. Please put your papers on the podium! Arata-san, can you help the teacher deliver the papers to the office?"
"Hey!"
…
"Ah... how about we all go to karaoke for socializing this weekend? Arata-san, do you want to go together?"
"I'm really sorry about the weekend..."
"Eh? But everyone is going. It would be a shame if Arata-san isn't here!"
"Um...Okay! Count me in then!"
…
"Arata-san, I asked my mother for advice on how to make dessert for the first time. If you don't mind, can you try it?"
"Eh...this isn't quite appropriate!"
"But...it took me a whole night and a lot of thought to succeed!"
"Okay! Then I would be rude!"
…
"Arata-kun, are you interested in joining our club to promote Chiyoda Academy to Tokyo?"
"Eh? What does that mean?"
"That's it... let's spend some time working together every day to push the school towards the center of the city!"
"This...is impossible!"
"How will you know if you don't try! Where there's a will, there's a way, and... with Sunta-san joining us, our club will definitely be very popular!"
"Well... if it doesn't take up too much time, fine!"
…
The above is the reason why Arata doesn’t like coming to school very much!
I don’t know if it’s because there is no pressure to go to school, and everyone’s family background is generally good. Chiyoda Academy students always have extraordinary enthusiasm for things other than studying. There are all kinds of strange clubs and organizations, endless weekend gatherings, and
There is a selection activity for the most popular boys and girls that is secretly circulated among students. All these activities occupy almost all of everyone's time. As for studying, since there is the convenience of directly entering university, why bother with such things?
What a waste of effort!
"But...what should I do to be worthy of my status as a time traveler?"
These days, Arata has been thinking about this problem. However, until now, Arata has not thought of a particularly good way. I have read the Bungou-ryu mentioned in novels before, and the Shingo-ryu is very important to Arata.
It seems that it is completely useless. Because he has neither beautiful writing nor does he know about the opportunities to get rich overnight in the rb stock market.
After thinking about it, it seems that the only way to go is to study hard. Unfortunately, when Arata understood what rb's college entrance examination was, he gave up this plan completely. Because unless the Furuta family did not eat or drink, their family would not be able to do anything.
I can't afford expensive cram school fees.
To put it simply, RB’s university entrance exam is basically divided into two rounds. It is called the general entrance exam and the national exam is more like a pass to take the second exam. Only when you reach the score line of the corresponding university can you have the qualifications to challenge prestigious schools.
.The second round is an independent examination organized by each major school. Because it is an examination organized by the school itself, the scope of review is different, and dealing with these trivial matters is what cram schools are best at."
She only relies on the 6.5 million annual salary of Arata's father who is a policeman. He wants to support the life of a family of four (three-bedroom apartment, 1.5 million yen rent, 1 million yen living expenses), and afford the education of two children in a private college.
Expenses (1.5 million yen per person per year, total 3 million yen). There is basically no savings left. If you add in the tutoring expenses of 700,000 800,000 yen per year, the Furuta family will really be in trouble.
"It's such a pity. It seems that Arata who came through time is still a loser! Apart from my hobby of detective novels, I really have nothing to be proud of!"
Arata complained in his heart with some frustration. Although he felt unwilling to do so, he now deeply understood the helplessness caused by the solidification of classes. In fact, Mr. Furuta's income as a policeman in Tokyo is already very good, but once education is taken into account,
With housing and other expenses, the Gutian family's life is still stretched thin.
"Woo...Woo..."
Just when Arata was thinking hard, there was a vibrating sound from his cell phone, and Arata quickly got up and ran out of the classroom.
"Moses! Moses!"
"Xin-chan! Where are you? I just went to look for you. Why aren't you in the classroom?"
"Um...I'm alone in the activity room right now. May I ask...what can I do?"
"I have good news for you, you have been chosen!"
"Selected? What?"
"I sent your photo to a friend I met at my previous job, and she said...the firm wants you to come over tomorrow to participate in their new hire interview!"
"The office? Why do I still not understand?"
"Oops! Didn't I take a photo of you during the day? I sent that photo to my friend, and then you were noticed by him!"
"Ouchi-chan, you're making the decision for me without permission again!"
"This is a great opportunity! There are many cute and beautiful girls in the office like my sister. I did this for Shin-chan's sake!"
"But... I don't seem to have the talent to be an artist!"
"You don't have to worry about this! The people in the office have taken a liking to you anyway, so what are you afraid of? Don't worry! My sister is now considered a senior in the Yun Neng world! If you don't understand anything, just ask me.
!”
…
Hearing Liangzi constantly encouraging him on the phone, Arata couldn't resist, so he reluctantly agreed. After hanging up the phone, Arata hurried back to the classroom. Only then did he realize that Liangzi had been in the classroom the whole time.
Waiting for you inside.
"You guy, you didn't come to me after school. Where did you go by yourself? Could it be that... someone invited you outside..."
"It's not what you think at all! I just...because there are some important issues in life that need to be thought about! That's why I need to be alone!"
"The important questions of life? What important questions can you have?"
"You don't understand even if I tell you, forget it! Let's go back first!"
Arata talked about the topic lightly, then picked up her schoolbag, said hello to her close classmates, and then urged Liangzi to leave the school.
On the way back, Arata always looked worried. When Liangzi saw him, he thought he was angry because he had taken the initiative to help him contact the office. So he quickly apologized:
"Okay, Arata! It's my fault this time, so don't be angry!"
"I'm not angry, Onei-chan!"
"Um?"
