Chapter 10: The end of junior high school seems to have gone too far
When the final exam results came out, Yuriko Sugimoto laughed out loud, and was grateful to the great god Ryouna, otherwise it would have been impossible for her to pass mathematics, the root of all evil, on her own.
Now your holiday travel is guaranteed!
"I can't even imagine what I'm going to do when I get promoted to high school."
Yuriko Sugimoto almost fainted when she thought about having to study math alone in the future.
"You, why don't you just take notes seriously in class?" Kirihara Ryona shook her head helplessly.
But even if they are different high schools, the textbooks are the same, right?
"How about we meet up at a cafe to review? I'll take care of Japanese history and you'll take care of math, as usual?"
"Ah, this..."
Kirihara Ryona didn't know how to start. How should she explain that Jujutsu High School didn't attach much importance to the ordinary courses of ordinary high schools?
When she was very young, Kirihara Ryona was taken away by Gojo Satoru to attend the Curse High School class as an auditor.
There were three people in the classroom. One was playing games while eating dessert, one was playing games while beating up his best friend, and the last one was sleeping as if no one was around...
Only the poor teacher was still standing at the podium, teaching diligently. As soon as the bell rang, he fled the classroom as if he was being chased by a curse spirit.
"Ha! We haven't even separated yet, are you trying to show your true colors? We agreed we'd just go to different schools, right?"
When Sugimoto Yuriko saw Kirihara Ryouna hesitating, she knew something was fishy.
"...I think you need some Chinese lessons too."
"Watch less eight o'clock dramas," Kirihara Ryona said, slapping Sugimoto Yuriko's hand away in disdain. "That school is a vocational high school, and the main courses aren't those of regular high schools."
"Vocational college?"
Sugimoto Yuriko looked worried. She reached out to touch Hara Ryona's fair forehead and checked with concern whether there were any special marks on her body.
"Are you sick? Or have you been bewitched by someone from that school?"
"I told you to watch less TV!"
After some effort, he finally managed to fool Sugimoto Yuriko. Kirihara Ryona breathed a sigh of relief and quickly made a promise.
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't go astray. It's just an ordinary religious vocational school. I'll eventually apply to the University of Tokyo."
After receiving the guarantee, Yuriko Sugimoto temporarily let Kirihara Ryona go.
"Well, I don't know why you chose a strange religious high school, but you've always been someone with clear goals, so I'm not really worried."
"and you?"
"Hey, who told you to cheat me last time at the badminton hall with Yukimura-kun?"
Yuriko Sugimoto came closer curiously, "By the way, did you run into Yukimura when you went back that day? Was there something going on between you two..."
Her expression of wanting to say something but stopping herself from saying it had a cunning smile on it. Kirihara Ryona didn't even need to analyze it to know that she was making up some inexplicable plot in her mind again.
"I really have to stop you from watching the eight o'clock show." The corners of her mouth twitched, and she pinched Sugimoto Yuriko's face hard. "We just ran into each other at the school gate."
"real?"
The orange-haired girl glanced at Kirihara Ryona suspiciously, "Then why have you been avoiding him lately?"
"Although we don't usually run into each other, the last time we met in the corridor, you looked up at everything but him..."
"You want to avoid him!"
The analysis was so clear and logical that Kirihara Ryona couldn't help but feel ashamed after listening to it.
"It's not what you think."
"Akahu ran into the school that day, and after finally catching it, Yukimura ran into it again."
"You know, the red tiger pattern—"
Yuriko Sugimoto knew about the red tiger. It was said that the kitten with tiger patterns was dyed with food coloring by Ryouna because she had a second-year syndrome.
As for the source of the information, it was of course that little kelp of Kirihara Akaya.
Yuriko Sugimoto patted her friend's shoulder sympathetically. Anyone would be ashamed if they were caught by their junior suffering from the disease, right?
Yuriko Sugimoto, who rarely stopped laughing and wanted to comfort her friend, noticed that several pale-faced girls came out of the office on the second floor and were being forced by their parents to apologize to another girl.
"It's really gratifying that they are like this now."
Feeling the gentle breeze, Sugimoto Yuriko breathed a sigh of relief. "That girl, Fujiwara Mie, her family directly arranged for her to drop out of school a while ago. It's said that she has psychological problems, so the police haven't sent her to a juvenile detention center yet."
"Her family is also struggling to cope with the situation and can't help her financially. It seems her father's company is facing funding problems."
That really made her "dream come true".
Thinking of Fujiwara Mihui who tried to fool people by pretending to be crazy in the hospital, Kirihara Ryona sneered.
"That really saved her from a disaster."
"I heard from their class that Aihara Miko is back. Without Fujiwara Mihui, her personality has become much more cheerful. She will do her best to help any classmates who need help. Everything is going well. It's a happy ending."
"She's unexpectedly kind and gentle," Kirihara Ryona murmured.
The appearance of the cursed spirit was not Aihara Miko's original intention. She hurt other unrelated people without knowing it, which undoubtedly made Aihara Miko feel guilty.
Kirihara Ryona once asked Aihara Miko if she hated those indifferent spectators who stood by and watched.
"They have difficulties too, right?" Aihara Miko, wearing her hospital gown and feeling the warmth of the sun, spoke softly to excuse them.
"No one wants to be Fujiwara no Mihui's next target. Besides, the Fujiwara family is rich and powerful. If they target me, my present will become their future."
She recalled the class notes she had received not long ago, which covered all the subjects she had missed during this period.
Aihara Miko smiled softly, "Besides, they actually helped me secretly."
"It's okay, everything is getting better, and I won't stay where I am."
The few people crying bitterly at the office door aroused everyone's curiosity, but Kirihara Ryona just glanced at them coldly and didn't stay for too long.
She looked up and saw the endless sky without a single cloud. "Yes, everything is getting better."
Time passed quickly, and the second semester was over soon. After the spring break, Kirihara Ryona would be enrolled in a technical high school.
Not long ago, Principal Yega had visited Kirihara's home and communicated with Kirihara's parents.
After dinner, Kirihara Ryouna took Akagator out for a snack and accidentally ran into Yukimura Seiichi in the park. It seemed that he was out for a walk with his sister.
It seems that this time the extra meal can only be half, which is unfair to Chihu. She bent down and held the striped kitten squatting on the ground in her arms.
"Ryouna-senpai, what a coincidence! Are you out for a walk too?"
"It's Tigercat!"
Mei Yukimura opened her eyes wide in surprise and stared curiously at Akagami in Kirihara Ryouna's arms.
"Want to touch it?"
Kirihara Ryona had no way to deal with such an innocent soul, let alone a cute and well-behaved human cub.
"But, can I?"
The girl didn't say anything, but responded to the girl with actions. The tiger kitten meowed softly twice, as if it was acting coquettishly to the girl.
The cub's small hands gently stroked the red tiger's round head.
So soft!
The girl's eyes brightened even more, and she noticed that the beautiful older sister was looking at her with a smile.
The older sister is also very pretty! She likes this sister!
"It's called Red Tiger."
Kirihara Ryona seemed to know what the girl was going to ask and told her the answer in advance.
Yukimura Seiichi was very surprised by his sister Mei's behavior. He was a little surprised that his sister, who was a little shy towards outsiders, would be so enthusiastic towards Kirihara Ryona, even to the point of ignoring him.
In the sand area, Yukimura Mei was playing with other children, while Kirihara Ryona and Yukimura Seiichi were resting on a bench not far away.
"Actually, I wanted to say this last time. The red tiger pattern is really cool."
"Haha, so that's what you think? I understand."
When the old things were mentioned, Kirihara Ryona's eyes were vague.
"So, Ryouna-senpai, don't be embarrassed." Yukimura Seiichi looked seriously into those orange-red eyes, "I apologize to you if I made you uncomfortable that day."
“I’m not uncomfortable…”
Just feeling guilty.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on winning the national championship yet." Kirihara Ryona quickly changed the subject.
"Thank you. Come to think of it, Ryouna-senpai's brother also plays tennis, right?"
According to Yanagi's information, the champion of this year's Jr. Tournament is indeed Kirihara Akaya.
"Well, he'll be attending Rikkai University next year too. If he gets into trouble then, we can just teach him a lesson."
Thinking of the stupid Oudoudou's trouble-making character, Kirihara Ryona gave Yukimura Seiichi a heads-up in advance.
"You don't even know that idiot..."
It is a very pleasant thing to chat with Yukimura Seiichi. The distance between the two of us is getting closer and closer, and the original little gap disappears.
Realizing that she seemed to have complained too much, Kirihara Ryona laughed awkwardly, "Oh, I'm really sorry. It seems like I used you, Yukimura, as a vent for my emotions."
"It's okay." Yukimura Seiichi's blue-purple eyes were full of smiles. "I feel that Kirihara-kun is a very simple person, and your relationship is also very interesting."
A beautiful smile bloomed on the boy's handsome face. Even the gorgeous clouds in the sky were not as beautiful as the boy in front of him.
Kirihara Ryona was stunned, and the faint scent of lilies brushed past her nose.
She had always known that Yukimura Seiichi was handsome, but now it seemed even more real, as if the Son of God had descended to earth, a beauty that she could touch.
Yukimura Seiichi observed Kirihara Ryona calmly.
It's so cute, just like when I was a kid.
"What is Ryouna-senpai thinking about?"
"...thinking about beautiful women."
The cries of crows coming from the treetops not far away were so inappropriate.
Kirihara Ryona reacted and realized what stupid thing she had said, and her face suddenly turned red.
"Swoosh" he flashed in front of Yukimura Mei.
He only left behind a sentence "Goodbye Mei, see you next time." Then he disappeared in a flash.
Good, that’s awesome!
There was a bit more admiration in Yukimura Mei's big eyes.
"Oh no, it seems I teased you too much. I hope you won't shrink back this time." Yukimura Seiichi sounded annoyed, but his purple eyes were filled with a faint smile.
It was getting late, so he walked over and took Mei's hand, "Let's go, let's go home too."
But when he thought that Kirihara Ryona was not planning to go directly to Rikkai University but was going to Tokyo alone to attend a school called Jujutsu High School, his expression became gloomy.
"A religious school? I wonder if Liu could find out..."
