Book 1: Chapter 5: Part 1
Another chapter today, thanks to the Patrons.
Part 1
While I was trying to wrap my head around the rapid development of the situation so far, I noticed that we had arrived at the front gate of Ousei Gakuen. A splendid thing, that seems to be in a western castle that you can never think of as a school gate, jumped into my eyes. Not only that but on the other side of the gate, there were school buildings and vast grounds that were so large that they could only be seen as a palace.
No, well, um Its big.
Welcome to the Ousei Gakuen!
Houjou-san told that to the dumbfounded me, with a smile. And as I was in a somewhat dreamy state of mind, she led me through the school gate. It seems we arrived when homeroom is about to start since I cant see any students walking in the corridor except us.
U-um Are you alright? I said.
What is it?
Well There doesnt seem to be any students around, it seems the homeroom has already started
As a coward, I was too afraid to be late, so I wondered if it would be okay if she was late. But rather, on the contrary, Houjou-san laughed elegantly.
Fufufu. Its okay. As I said before coming here, the board chairman of this school is my father. And also Ive notified the school beforehand that I would be late today, so it will be fine.
I see
It seems like it was only my needless anxiety. It was good then. If she gets scolded because of me, Id be truly sorry.
Nevertheless, the board chairman of such a big school, huh I thought that Houjou-sans behavior was elegant, but as I thought, shes really a rich person. Elegance? I guess that was indeed something she had. As for me, Im overflowing with the poor mans aura. Oh, come to think of it I have to stop by the supermarket on my way home since theres an egg special sale today.
When I was following Houjou-san while thinking about such a commoners thought, we arrived in front of the door written as the Chairmans Office before I knew it. Houjou-san knocked on the door, then I heard an elegant mans voice from the inside.
Come in.
Excuse me.
E-excuse me!
I answered with all of the strength in my body and entered the room following Houjou-san.
Inside, there was a leather sofa, a suited light-brown table, a desk to do the duty, which everyone could see them as good quality, and then a cool middle-aged man sitting in the back of the desk. That man must be Houjou-sans father. When I look at him closely, I can feel they look alike somehow. The man looked surprised for a moment when he saw me as I entered the room, but he immediately greeted me with a gentle look.
Im glad you came. Im Tsukasa Houjou the chairman of thisOusei Gakuen. Tenjou Yuuya-kun Ive heard about you from my daughter, Kaori. Thank you for saving my daughter.
After the polite greeting, he bowed his head, I was flustered and quickly told him to raise it.
P-please raise your head! I wasnt that big of a help
No, no matter what you think, you had certainly taken action at the time. Thats something to be proud of.
Thats right, Yuuya-san. Once again, thank you very much.
When they told me that, it left me a shameful impression.
I-I understand.
Thank you.
They raised their head since Ive accepted their gratitude. And I asked them something that was bothering me.
Come to think of it, why was Houjou-san alone at that time? Dont she have an escort or
Yuuya-san, you dont need to be so formal to call me Houjou-san like that, please just call me Kaori, honorific or title of honor is unnecessary, you know?
Eh!? But
My daughter says shes good with it, and since youre in the same age, you dont need to be so respectful, do you?
Well, I guess youre right
I answered so while thinking that it was awesome, Houjou-san No, Kaori smiled.
Now Yuuya-kun, about your question earlier, I want Kaori to live a normal life, and she hasnt had an escort since she was young.
Thats what I wanted personally. I wont be able to be independent if there is always an escort with me, and I dont need them to find a job too, right? But because of that one case before, I need to bring her with me now. Kaori said while looking at the woman in butlers appearance.
I was feeling sorry too, but shes still my daughter. Shes important to me.
I see
Rich people have their own troubles too. Especially, a poor man like me is unlikely to be kidnapped because there wont be a ransom or shit, but if youre rich, youre at risk. No, I think kidnapping is really dangerous. It was a seducer at that time, but still, theyre also in the same bad team as Araki and others belong to, and the security around there cant be said as good, too.
After talking like that, we finally entered the main subject.
Well now, Ive had Yuuya-kun to come this way, but youve heard the reason, havent you?
Y-yes, I was asked to transfer to this Ousei Gakuen.
The chairman nodded when I answered that.
Thats right. For me, Id like you to enroll in this Ousei Gakuen How about it? Of course, this is also my expression of gratitude for saving my daughter, so you dont have to worry about the tuition.
Thats! Even so, you didnt have to go that far
I already told you, didnt I? Shes my important daughter. This much is cheap.
The chairman says that while laughing, Kaoris cheeks turned red shyly hearing that. Theyre a good father and daughter. Its really a big difference from my house.
So what would you do?
I is it okay for me to go to the same school as the geniuses?
Ousei Gakuen is a school thats so famous that no one doesnt know about this school in Japan. Thats why most of the people who play an active part in Japan and the world are from this school. In other words, a small part of the chosen existence A school where the only genius can attend. But, I dont have any special skills to be in such a school.
The chairman spoke in a gentle tone, asked me who looks down.
Yuuya-kun. What kind of person do you think genius refers to?
Eh? Someone that can do anything?
Thats right. And I think genius is someone who works on things and finds the right answer and the right effort in a shorter time than others. On the other hand, you are with other people. If you make an effort, youre going to get closer to the truth.
..
Of course, apart from genius, there will be different talents. But its not something you can decide from a young age like you. Try a lot of things, have fun its still not too late to try. And this school was built because I want those young people to have a lot of experience. So you dont have to despise yourself. From now on, you just need to face yourself slowly.
The chairmans words have soaked into my heart. Nobody ever told me like that except grandfather. No matter what I did, I was compared to Youta and Sora, and whatever I did, I was labeled incompetent, and after my grandfather died, I could only accept it. Thats why I was shaken because theres still someone who told me like that
The chairman suggested one thing when various feelings swirled up in me and made me confused.
Well, you must be troubled when being told various things so suddenly. So how about experiencing it, attending this school for just one day today?
Eh?
Suddenly a dumb voice came out of me, but the chairman kept smiling without concern.
If you want to experience this school today and decided to enter the school, Ill officially welcome you again at the time.
I was dumbfounded by such a proposal and suddenly heard a knock on the door.
It looks like shes here Comes in.
Thanks.
It was a woman to have appeared while saying so. She was a woman wearing a lab coat with a languid impression, and she was wearing a worn-out shirt under the coat.
Moreover, since the shirt is plain and it was slipping to her shoulder, the chest is Is she properly wearing something under that!? I cant see the straps of her bra!? No, it would trouble me if I can see the strap!
The chairman smiled bitterly when I was surprised to see the overall lax impression of the woman.
Youre just the same as ever Yuuya-kun, I want you to have experience classes in this womans class.
I see. Well, dont be so nervous. Sensei will teach you properly.
U-umm
I-I wonder if its okay. I couldnt say anything, but when I clogged with the words, the chairman spoke up in an amazing state.
Well, you may have a lot to say, but even though she looks like this and she has the mindset of a scientist. Her classes are also easy to understand and are popular with students. Thats why take it easy, dont be nervous.
Thats right. Sensei is amazing.
Its good if you can feel at ease.
This makes me even worried, you know!
Despite all the worries about the atmosphere of the chairman and the woman in the lab coat, I was going to experience studying inOusei Gakuen today for a day.
