My girlfriend is actually myself.

Chapter 41 Conservative Mother

Asakura Chihaya arrived at the door at nine o'clock, bringing Yukimiya Natsune's school uniform. There were three sets of summer uniform and three sets of winter uniform, as well as gymnastics uniform, school bag, indoor shoes and other matching supplies.

"Are you wearing water?" Yukimiya Natsune pulled up her clothes to look at them, then turned her head and asked.

"Swimsuit" refers to a swimsuit. Swimsuits are not included in the school uniform, but they are still necessary clothing. The school offers swimming lessons, and these lessons contribute to physical education grades. In addition to the curriculum, there is a swimming club; Mori no Oka's swimming club has achieved some success in national competitions.

It's late May now. Swimming lessons will start in late June after the rainy season.

Asakura Chihaya replied respectfully, "Madam has already instructed the school that Miss Yukimiya does not need to participate in swimming lessons. Madam's villa has a private pool; if Miss wishes to swim, she can order the driver to take her there."

The maid didn't explain why Yukimiya Natsune wasn't allowed to take swimming lessons, but Yukimiya Natsune could guess.

The young woman clicked her tongue inwardly. What her mother meant was that her adopted daughter could only wear swimsuits for her to see, not for outsiders.

What a conservative adult, but that suits her just the way she wants.

Shiraishi Saku gave his mother a thumbs up, a rare instance where they had found common ground.

The girl wasn't interested in swimming lessons; she asked about swimsuits because she wanted to wear one for herself.

School swimsuits are a classic skin in anime!

However, the swimsuits specified by Morinogakari are new styles, much more conservative than traditional school swimsuits, and there's not much to see anyway, so it's fine if they're not there.

After changing into their school uniforms and grabbing their backpacks, Yukimiya Natsumi and Asakura Chihaya went out together and got into a car parked by the roadside.

The car started and slowly drove along the road. This was a residential area, so the vehicle couldn't pick up speed at all.

Compared to the tower block apartment that Tsukimiya Aoi bought, Shiraishi's house is much farther from the school. It's okay in spring and autumn, but in summer and winter, walking that distance is either very hot or very cold.

Especially for young girls with poor physical strength, it's easy to imagine that this journey will be a major test once they officially start school.

Yukimiya Natsune pondered whether she should buy a bicycle and have the boy give her a ride. Although the new Japanese bicycle regulations were a bit harsh, there was generally no strict enforcement by the police on this stretch of road.

At 9:30, the car stopped outside the gate of Mori no Oka Academy. The driver did not open the car door, but through the car window, Yukimiya Natsune saw that the school gate was open.

The car started again and drove directly into the campus.

Is this capitalism?

I wonder if we can drive directly into Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion).

The car stopped at the office building behind the campus. Yukimiya Natsune saw several middle-aged men in suits jogging over to greet her.

She gained a deeper understanding of the power and influence of the Moon Palace family.

That arrogant mother has a pretty high status.

Asakura Chihaya opened the car door, and Yukimiya Natsune stepped out. As soon as she stood up, the middle-aged woman at the head of the group came forward and gave a standard Japanese bow.

"I am Principal Shizue Ishida. Welcome, Miss Yukimiya, to Morinogaoka."

After she finished speaking, the remaining middle-aged men also introduced themselves in a courteous manner; they were the persons in charge of various aspects of the school.

Looking at their humble expressions, Yukimiya Natsune thought to herself that her sister's worries were completely unnecessary; the girl should be worried about the safety of her other classmates.

After several high-ranking officials finished their compliments, they stood aside, revealing the young woman at the very back.

Under everyone's gaze, the young woman nervously approached Yukimiya Natsume and stammered as she introduced herself.

"I am Yoko Suzuki, the homeroom teacher of Class D in the first year."

Clearly, the other party was Yukimiya Natsune's homeroom teacher. "First year" here refers to the first year of high school; in Japan, this prefix is ​​not typically used.

Yukimiya Natsune thought to herself, "My tsundere mother really did put me in Class D of the first year."

……

Unlike schools in China that often have more than a dozen classes, Japanese high schools are much smaller due to the impact of declining birth rates. Mori no Oka has only four classes per grade, numbered from A to D.

Four classes of the same grade are located on the same floor, arranged in order, with class D being the furthest from class A.

Shiraishi Saku is in Class A.

After the morning classes ended, the classroom was noisy, filled with the sounds of friends calling each other to go to the cafeteria, moving tables to share food, and chatting.

Inoue Kaito and Tanaka Shota brought out stools and sat down around Shiraishi Saku.

School lunches are generally divided into three main camps: the cafeteria camp, the bento camp, and the bread camp. We are the bread camp.

Saku Shiraishi is a staunch advocate of bento boxes. Airi Asakura is an ambivalent person, switching back and forth between the three.

They had just finished class, but instead of starting to eat, they chatted first.

"Sigh, girls are so hard to figure out." Inoue Kaito sighed deeply. "Yamashita and I were chatting quite enthusiastically on Line before, but I don't know why, she's suddenly become distant these past few days."

Shiraishi Saku took out a lunchbox from his bag, placed it on the table, and didn't reply. He wasn't interested in this kind of topic.

However, the reason Inoue Kaito spoke up was to ask for his opinion. Shiraishi Saku's theory of staring had opened the eyes of this former all-boys high school student.

He gave Tanaka Shota a meaningful look, signaling to his good friend to cooperate with him.

Shota Tanaka nodded, looking like he deeply agreed: "Girls are too complicated. Inoue and I can guess each other's thoughts, but we can't guess what girls are thinking at all."

With his good friend's groundwork laid, Inoue Kaito spoke up: "Shiraishi, can you help me analyze what's going on in Yamashita?"

Shiraishi Saku sighed. Yamashita is Yamashita Asami; she previously shared her fishing trip with Asakura Airi on Instagram, where she unexpectedly caught Inokai Kaito.

Airi Asakura knew that Saku Shiraishi was working at a convenience store because Asami Yamashita tipped her off, and Asami Yamashita obtained the information about Saku Shiraishi from Kaito Inoue.

Shiraishi Saku looked at Inoue Kaito and pitied his misfortune. Yamashita Asami is now cold because you're no longer of any value! You leaked my information too quickly!

As they were friends who often ate and chatted together, Shiraishi Saku had no objection to Inoue Kaito revealing his work location. If necessary, he would not hesitate to sell Inoue and Tanaka.

The problem is, Inoue Kaito sold the information too cheaply. He should at least have arranged to meet up a few times before revealing it! What does "chatting on Line" even mean?

The poor former boys' high school student was completely fooled by a bad woman in Tokyo.

"Shiraishi, my happiness is in your hands now, please teach me!" Inoue Kaito respectfully offered the yakisoba bread in his hand.

Shiraishi Saku decisively refused: "I don't understand either."

Too lazy to understand, once he starts offering advice, Inoue Kaito will throw out more and more questions, and Shiraishi Saku doesn't want to be someone else's love strategist.

"How could you not understand!" Inoue Kaito didn't believe it, thinking that the offerings were not enough, so he snatched the croissant from Tanaka Shota's hand and handed it to him as well.

Tanaka Shouta hesitated to speak.

"I really don't understand, after all, I've never been in one either," Shiraishi Saku continued to feign ignorance. This wasn't a lie; this body truly hadn't been in one.

"Really?" Tanaka and Inoue were skeptical.

Shiraishi Saku has indeed consistently displayed single-like qualities, such as his indifference towards Asakura Airi, the most beautiful girl in the class.

"Really, everything I told you before was something I found online," Shiraishi Saku said honestly.

The two believed it, sighed together, patted Bai Shishuo on the shoulder, and showed expressions of mutual appreciation.

"I also had some worries I wanted to ask you," Shota Tanaka revealed, "but now I've found comfort."

If Shiraishi Saku couldn't find a girlfriend, then it's perfectly normal for the two brothers to be single, as normal as the basic law of the world.

Shiraishi Saku glanced at Tanaka Shota, glad he hadn't said anything. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to hear the love troubles of two former boys' high school students, facing double consultations from Tanaka and Inoue!

He had originally planned to dine with the young girl, but now he realized he needed to find a secluded place so that Inoue and Tanaka wouldn't find out, otherwise his single persona would crumble and the two of them would bombard him with endless relationship advice.
