Chapter 529

"... What about the others?"

"Second,"

His left middle finger was raised, and for the first time, the three of them felt that his smooth, jade-like finger was incredibly attractive...

"If you find the commute too troublesome, I have a weekend job I can recommend. The pay is almost double the minimum hourly wage, and if you work hard on weekends, you can earn a considerable amount—just to clarify, this isn't a price I'm deliberately inflating; this is the same wage I pay others."

"Of course, if I were Kawasaki -kun, I would work part-time in Chiba during the week and then work another job there on weekends, earning two salaries in one go, which would give me plenty of pocket money..."

"Third... By the way, Kawasaki -kun, which cram school do you attend?"

Kawasaki Saki's lips trembled with a mixture of excitement and hesitation. "Yoyogi (one of Japan's major tutoring institutions)."

"That's quite a coincidence—because of my good grades, the tutoring center insisted on giving me a free spot, just so I could register my name on their online platform."

"As you know, I'm too lazy to even go to class, let alone this. If Kawasaki -kun doesn't mind, would you like it as a gift?"

"Luckily it's the same company, otherwise we might have had to transfer you to another agency during the summer vacation."

As a top student who ranked first in three grades at three different tutoring institutions, he received such requests and offers of places at all three large tutoring institutions, but they were of no use to him, and he had no intention of accepting them in the first place.

But for now, it's just a way to make use of waste.

"..."

The three of them were completely numb; their once radiant and beautiful eyes had lost their luster.

If the first two surprises were already enough, then the third was a decisive trump card, directly killing the game.

"Fourth--"

He extended his little finger and continued, "As can be seen from the third point, my academic performance is excellent, and getting into University of Tokyo is no problem at all. So if you just want tutoring, I can easily do it for you, providing small-class teaching just like a cram school."

"Anyway, the tutoring center's advertisements say they hire students from top universities to teach, right? I assure you, I'm definitely better than them."

"Of course, as everyone knows, Yukino Shita's grades are also excellent, so she could do this task, since she is the Club President of the Service Club. However, this task is time-consuming and could put psychological pressure on you, so it has been put on the back list."

"As for the others, they are mostly part-time jobs and ways to easily obtain learning opportunities, so I won't go into detail about them."

"Oh, right! I allow you to choose multiple of the above methods!"

He clapped his hands, pointing his Hands fingers forward with an encouraging expression, conveying an attitude of "I believe in you."

"As I said before, I am an ambitious young person who enjoys helping others achieve their dreams! I especially love children who love learning and actively pursue their dreams!"

"Alright, I've finished speaking. Do you have any further questions?"

Shizuka, as Hiratsuka Shizuka as her name suggests.

Apart from the continuous, gentle Piano in the background, the atmosphere in the four-person room was extremely quiet, completely silent.

"If not, I'll go have some fun! I was just thinking of playing the Piano over there... I'll ask that beautiful pianist to let me play!"

After saying that, he stood up, dusted off his clothes, and took small steps toward the Piano, a woman in a gown with blonde hair and graceful movements.

Not long after.

A beautiful melody, completely different in style from the previous one, yet exceptionally moving, filled the spacious hall...

Chapter 479 Teacher Jing wants to be in a relationship.

"Who exactly is he?"

Kawasaki Saki gazed at the person playing the Piano, and couldn't help but lick her dry lips before turning her gaze to Yukino Shita Yukino.

Yuihama Yui pointed at her face. "Hmm~ An unofficial member of the Service Club?"

Although he didn't get involved in many cases, the Service Club itself didn't take on many orders either.

Yukino Shita Yukino breathed out wearily, "A handsome, wealthy young man who's good at meddling, capable, and loves his job?"

This was a perfectly normal comment for him, but the other two found it sour.

But for some reason, they could understand this feeling...

Afterwards, they didn't stay long. The group pulled up Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was half-drunk in the corridor, and left the hotel together.

It was getting late, and they didn't plan to call the others out, saying they would inform them later.

"Speaking of which, what about Teacher Hiratsuka? He can't drive after drinking like that, can he?"

Yukino Shita Yukino frowned as she looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who Hiratsuka Shizuka of alcohol and insisted that she wasn't drunk.

"..."

Sakurakoji Talent was supporting her from the side, also not expecting the alcohol to be so potent.

Of course, he also didn't expect Hiratsuka Shizuka to finish them so quickly; it seems that marriage is really a sad thing for her.

It's probably because the ingredients contain various alcohols that the mixture is so potent.

"Leave it to me. Anyway, I was planning to stay at Teacher Shizuka's house today, and I also bear some responsibility for her condition."

"You..."

Yukino Shita Yukino cast a suspicious look at her, "Are you sure it's okay for a man and a woman to be alone together?"

"I still won't do anything criminal. Besides, Teacher Shizuka already agreed to let me go to her house, right?"

"... Okay, I believe you're a smart person and know how to weigh the pros and cons."

"Of course, bye-bye~ See you next time."

"Goodbye then, Mr. Talent!"

"Goodbye."

After luring the two away, he watched them get into a taxi. Instead of going to the road, he took out his keys from Hiratsuka Shizuka's pocket and went to the Aston Martin in the Parking Lot.

He locked her in the passenger seat and secured her firmly with the seatbelt before taking the driver's seat.

Hmm~ Sports cars just feel different from sedans.

The seat's support, the visibility, the low-slung chassis...

"Ugh~ It's so tight and uncomfortable~"

Hiratsuka Shizuka tugged at her seatbelt, turned her head and saw him sitting in the driver's seat, and couldn't help but tease, "Why is there a steering wheel in front of you? Can you even drive, kid?"

"You'll find out soon enough whether you can drive it or not. First, tell me where you live."

"What?! You want to come into my house? You little pervert! But no way! A lone man and a woman alone together... I'm still a virgin!"

"You just agreed to let me stay over this afternoon, and you've already forgotten? Besides, there's such a big age difference between us..."

"Kuku~ Anyway, all you boys like younger girls~ Waaah~"

"Hey--don't cry! I won't say anything more, okay? Just tell me the address, or the management will be here soon!"

"..."

The following morning.

Light streamed through the glass windows, illuminating the entire spacious bedroom. On the rickety bed lay a woman in an even worse position.

She was wrapped in the comforter, her brows slightly furrowed, her exposed shoulders bare, reflecting a sensual glow. Her cascading black hair fell behind her, and a piece of dark fabric peeked out from under the sheet...

Bang!

The bedroom door was suddenly pushed open, and Sakurakoji Talent strode over to her bedside, grabbed her smooth, fragrant shoulders, and shook her vigorously back and forth.

"Teacher Shizuka! Wake up! Time to go to school!"

"Ahhh~!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka mumbled unconsciously, "Just... just five more minutes of sleep..."

"No! I can't be late for class!"

"I... I don't want to go to class. I'll ask for leave today. Being a day late won't matter..."

"But you're a teacher now! Do you want your students to wait for you? You can't just ask for leave and be late all the time like before!"

"Yes, right, I'm a teacher now... What a terrible lame joke..."

A chill ran through her body, she shivered, and buried her head even deeper into the blankets, wrapping herself up even tighter.

"This is no joke! Get up now!"

"..."

"..."

Five minutes later, Hiratsuka Shizuka was pulled out of bed and walked to a full-length mirror. Looking at her terribly wrinkled clothes in the mirror, she let out a cute, pitiful cry.

"Ooh~!"

"Why do you want me to sleep in a formal dress?! It makes me completely unusable!"

Sakurakoji Talent crossed his Hands, his expression indifferent. "What else can I do? Should I help you take it off and change you into something else?"

"Well... um..."

A blush crept onto Hiratsuka Shizuka's delicate face. Her already scant dress, if taken off, would reveal...

"Besides, this is only your fault for sleeping posture and drinking habits. Why don't you just quit drinking?"

He made this suggestion with a sincere look in his eyes.

"That won't do! Without cigarettes and alcohol, I'll lose the will to live!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka decisively refused.

"Why?"

"Well, it's just that I'm bored... You know, when you're bored, you always have to do something, either to perk yourself up or to get drunk... Besides, Hoshika drinks and smokes too!"

"That's why I advised her too, why don't you two quit together?"

What should I do when I'm bored after quitting?

"If you're going to have a boyfriend and you just want to kiss, you don't want him to dislike you because of the smell of smoke and alcohol, right?"

"Varied...?!"

The redness on Hiratsuka Shizuka Shizutama's skin deepened. "You brat! You dare to play me!"

"Hmm? Where did I mess with you?"

"You know perfectly well that I..."

She stammered, pointing to herself, unable to utter a word.

Sakurakoji Talent couldn't help but laugh heartily, "That's because you haven't tried hard enough. The matchmaking market has always been like this. Sometimes you should think more about your own shortcomings. Are you a bad drinker? Do you always have a cigarette in your hand? Do you eat chocolate as a snack with your drinks? Do you cause a scene on a matchmaking date and get kicked out? Do you like to use fighting techniques to beat people up..."

"Waaaaah~"

"But putting all that aside, you're still very charming. Your looks and figure are impeccable, you have a stable job, a good personality, and you're also a wealthy woman... I think there are plenty of men willing to marry you!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka stopped wiping her tears, a vulnerable contrast appearing on her usually strong face, making her look endearing. "Really~?"

"Really, really, if no one marries you in the future—"

"Really not?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes held expectation.

"Why don't you move in with Hoshika? The two of you can keep each other company when you're old!"

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka stood frozen in place, her delicate body motionless.

"Then I won't disturb you while you change. I'll take my leave now..."

He wisely closed the door and quickly fled the scene.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, a deafening roar came from inside, "Talent--! Brilliance--!!!"

Where are they?

When Hiratsuka Shizuka changed her clothes and came out of her room, the huge luxury apartment was already empty.
