Kōenji's Attention and Reflections

Karuizawa Kei's ears, and she rested her forehead against his shoulder, saying in a muffled voice, "Now we need to talk seriously... about us..."

The softer the voice faded into the warmth of their bodies pressed together.

The shadows of the trees suddenly began to sway, and the setting sun streamed through the gaps in the leaves onto their overlapping figures.

Tanaka Yukishin looked down at the trembling light spots in her hair, and her Adam's apple bobbed.

"Then we'll wait until you're ready."

He suddenly cupped the back of her head, pulling her close to him, "But—"

The unspoken words transformed into a kiss that landed on her brow.

Karuizawa Kei closed her eyes in the shadow of his height and heard his laughing voice.

"In the end, it will all come down to asking me to hand over my daughter anyway."

The two strolled leisurely through the campus, enjoying the scenery along the way.

Tanaka Yukishin pondered who he should send a message to and who he should personally visit at their home.

First, determine the time.

The Gyokuryuki competition is held in Fukuoka City.

The time is the end of July.

The event is held between July 20th and July 30th, with the specific dates subject to slight adjustments each year.

But it's usually on weekends, because weekends are more conducive to audience participation.

The competition lasts for 5 days, with the first two days for the women's group and the last three days for the men's group.

The itinerary is to arrive one day before the competition, and afterwards, depending on the results, there will be a one- or two-day celebratory holiday.

If we calculate it this way, after confirming the participants at the venue before the competition, including the time for the women's group, he will have more than two days of free time.

Victory is inevitable, so there will be a one- or two-day celebratory holiday after the game.

To be on the safe side, it adds up to three and a half days.

The fastest mode of transportation is by airplane.

Haneda Airport (HND) → Fukuoka Airport (FUK)

The flight time is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

However, you also need to factor in check-in, security checks, and travel to and from the airport.

Approximately 3.5 to 4 hours.

The total time is approximately 5 and a half hours.

Even combined, it's not the fastest.

Secondly, there's the direct Shinkansen line.

Tokyo Station → Hakata Station.

The fastest journey takes approximately 4 hours and 50 minutes, while the slowest takes approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes.

The advantage is that it's not as troublesome as flying.

Furthermore, you can use your mobile phone on the Shinkansen.

If we calculate it this way, we should leave half a day for the round trip and rest time.

Set aside one day out of three for family.

The remaining two days, half a day for Little Bocchi. 1 Qiuzaki Dam Terasaki Shiwu.

There's still one and a half days left.

People at school with whom you have a connection, a good relationship, and whom you look forward to meeting.

Those in the same grade are probably: Megumi, Koenji Sakura Airi Ichinose Honami, Kanzaki Ryuji, Sakayanagi Arisu, Kamuro Masumi, Shiina Hiyori, Ryuen Kakeru (?)...

Among the older Kiryuin Fuuka, Hiratsuka Kaoru, Sakura Sae, Matsuzaka Tomohito, Matsushita Kazuo, Miyajima Hayata...

Simply communicating by phone, making a dozen or so calls in a day and a half is not a problem.

However, we should first inquire about the actual situation.

If some families live in the same area, it's worth spending some time visiting them.

Presumably, with the encouragement of her family...

They will work even harder in the competition.

Moreover, people like Koenji have the ability to connect with the outside world.

There is absolutely no need for him to act as an intermediary.

Chapter 90 89 Koenji's Concerns and Reflections

After contact and communication.

Tanaka Yukishin confirmed that among the upperclassmen, besides Hiratsuka Kaoru and Sakura Sae who came to see her yesterday, there were two other upperclassmen.

The others had already made arrangements with the other participants.

Especially Kiryuin Fuuka, just for fun.

He even withdrew from the Boxing Club and joined the Kendo Club as a substitute member for the competition.

"You'd better play well, I'll be watching you the whole time."

Kiryuin Fuuka's words still echo in Tanaka Yukishin's ears.

However, she'll be disappointed; her role is to be a backup plan.

Instead of going to blitz the weak and crush the weak.

Following the order, the next people to be asked are Koenji Rokusuke and Sakura Airi, who are in the same class.

The next day, in the classroom.

Koenji Rokusuke sat down, took out a silver mirror, and began to groom himself while admiring his own beauty.

"Hirata- kun, are you feeling any better?"

"Yes, cheer up."

Hearing the familiar voice, Koenji Rokusuke glanced at it as usual.

Kushida Kikyo and several other girls surrounded Hirata Yosuke, showing them concern.

"Thank you, but I'd like to be alone for a while."

Hirata Yosuke habitually forced a smile and brushed them off.

His school uniform collar was slightly crooked, and there was a faint bluish tinge under his eyes.

"It seems harmless for the time being."

With that thought in mind, Koenji Rokusuke withdrew his gaze.

Hirata Yosuke has been in poor condition ever since Kanji Ike was expelled from school.

After these days of self-healing, I'm feeling slightly better.

But he still couldn't make peace with himself.

Unable to continue being as active as before.

Horikita Suzune saw everything and became somewhat anxious.

Among the students in Class D, Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo are the ones who get things done.

She organized activities for her classmates by leveraging her communication skills, temperament, appearance, and popularity.

Of the two, Hirata Yosuke is more important.

After all, Japan is a unique country.

When the differences in ability are not significant, men have a greater advantage than women.

Now that Hirata Yosuke has stopped, Class D has gradually disintegrated from being an organized group.

Furthermore, various things happened in different places that she couldn't stand by and watch.

For example, disciplinary violations, lack of serious study, and a lax attitude...

One step behind leads to another.

At this rate, how can we ever get promoted to an A?

But given her social skills, she decided against causing any trouble.

But what should we do?

She pondered.

After failing to persuade Tanaka Yukishin for a long time, Matsushita Chiaki changed his target to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka (the main character), Horikita Suzune, and Hirata Yosuke.

Her gaze swept between the three of them.

The original target, Tanaka Yukishin, and the new targets were just as difficult to deal with.

One is expressionless and indifferent, one keeps strangers at bay, and one is internally injured and withdrawn.

I have absolutely no idea where to begin.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka swept his gaze over the scene of everyone in Class D, and he was used to it.

"Airi-chan, I'll be participating in the Gyokuryuki at the end of July. Would you like me to pass on a message to your family for you? If you live near me, I can also visit them in person."

Sakura Airi thought for a moment and nodded.

"My home is in Nakano Ward. What about yours?"

Tanaka Yukishin revealed her position within her family.

My home is in Chiba Prefecture.

Sakura Airi's voice was barely audible, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes.

After receiving a reply, Tanaka Yukishin patted her shoulder cheerfully, a gesture that made the girl blush instantly.

"Oh, I see. Well, there's nothing I can do then. I'll call later. Airi-chan, you can think about what you want to say to your family beforehand."

"However, there's no need to rush. After all, it's only a little past June, and there's still a long time until the end of July."

"Um."

Sakura Airi nodded.

Tanaka Yukishin immediately got up and walked to Koenji Rokusuke's side.

"Hey, Koenji Gyokuryuki. Do you need to tell your family?"

"I can communicate with my family anytime. Thank you for your kindness, Tanaka-kun."

Koenji Rokusuke shrugged and spread his hands.

"Well, just asking out of habit."

Tanaka Yukishin was not surprised by the reply and turned back to her seat.

There wasn't enough time between classes for him to attend classes A, B, and C.

Watching Tanaka Yukishin's expression and subtle body movements as she left.

Koenji Rokusuke let go of his last remaining doubts.

As the only son of a wealthy family, if he didn't want to come to this Advanced Nurturing High School, who could force him?

His father?

No, no, no, his mother was his strong support.

He chose this school simply to escape his father's nagging.

After all, a closed campus is a very suitable reason for seeking peace and quiet.
