I saw the countdown to their death

It's not that he likes to be petty and cheap, and it's just a joke to ask Tomino to treat guests to eel rice. The previous few treats were actually remuneration for helping review before the monthly test.It's still forced to be treated by that kid, otherwise he will feel bad.

Hojo Satoru walked into the teaching building, opened the personal shoe cabinet for indoor shoes, and suddenly had a meal when he was about to change his shoes. After just a meal, there were two more exquisite envelopes inside, one pink and the other pink.

Qingshan High School does not encourage students to fall in love, but it does not object to it either.After all, in Japan, housewives are a kind of occupation. There are even girls whose life plan is to get married after graduating from high school and become a full-time wife.

Hojo Satoru put the envelope into his pocket with some headaches, and at the same time complained in his heart.

Don't you see how poor you are?In this way, they are still rushing to confess their love, and even made such remarks as "you can share half of your monthly pocket money", which is simply outrageous.

Maybe it's because of the climate, the spring rain moistens the heart and also moistens the crotch.

After changing his shoes, he walked to the second floor. Hojo Satoru stopped for a moment when he passed the signboard. His total score was 745 and he ranked second in the whole grade.Dominating the list is a girl named 'Yuejianli Fuling' with a total score of 750.

It is said that she is a genius with an IQ of 160, and she got 750 because the total score was only 750.

I don’t know if the IQ is really 160, but I heard that this girl named Yue Jianli has only tied for the first place in the content of the written test from kindergarten to high school, and has never been second. She has dominated the list for 16 years. Defeated fierce man.

By the way, she is still a serious young lady.

……

Hojo Satoru knocked lightly on the door of the office, and after walking in, a young female teacher turned the chair under her and beckoned to him.

"Hojo-kun, are you here?"

Teacher Chiqi Erika is very young, probably less than 25 years old. She dyed flax-colored slightly curly hair, her pretty oval face is very white and tender with a healthy blush, her big eyes are clear and translucent, she wears light eye shadow and pink lip gloss Also full of charm, a little charm is revealed in the cute and serious expression.

Wearing a set of beige women's professional attire on the upper body, sitting on an office chair, her good figure presents a graceful body curve, the calves under the professional short skirt are wrapped in shredded meat, and on her feet are a pair of white high-heeled shoes that match the clothes .

Akasaki is a teacher in class B of the first year, and the class teacher in Japan is called a 'teacher'.This kind of position generally does not serve as the teacher of the class. They are mainly responsible for the students' class meetings, home visits, tripartite talks, ideological and moral education, and various class sundries...Anyway, they are not idle.

"Ms. Akasaki, are you looking for me?"

"Well, your application to start a club was rejected again by the student union." Akasaki Erika glanced at the stack of documents on the desk, "The student council president said he didn't want to see you again, so please let me tell you, please don't delay everyone by going to the student union again." time."

"A waste of time? In their eyes, my great and noble mission is a waste of time?"

"Are you sure you're not looking for trouble?"

Erika Akasaki blinked her eyes, "Let's not talk about the two strange clubs, the Neighborhood Club and the Inquisition, the 'Summer of the Far East Magic Siesta Club' doesn't even make sense to students who like to watch anime. Let me ask you, Is your 'servant department' serious or not?"

She took out a form and looked at the club content report on it, "There is also the SOS group, the activities are to find people from the universe, people from the future, people with superpowers... Hojo-kun, you are already a high school student, elementary school students have heard of these things They will all laugh at you."

Hojo Satoru rubbed his chin, and his inscrutable expression seemed a little helpless, "I see, it turns out that straightforward explanations of superficial truths will be ridiculed, so should I be more straightforward?"

Looking at the head teacher who was obviously a little sullen, he explained seriously: "The actor department is mainly to make friends. You also know that I have very few friends. The only ones who can talk to me are Tomino and Sakamoto. The purpose of this club is to expand contacts, for It is a very meaningful club to lay the foundation for stepping into the society in the future, we are already high school students, it would be childish to find friends by throwing handkerchiefs.”

Akasaki Erika picked up her teacup and took a sip of water. Although she didn't know why she lost her handkerchief when she was looking for a friend, she felt that the guy in front of her was making fun of her.

"The heresy trial meeting is to correct the puppy love phenomenon of the students. The center of the students should be on the study. The beginning of many tragedies is that whoever looks at the other in the crowd."

"The summer of the Far East Magic Siesta Association is to study magic on the surface, but in fact it is to expand the mind. After all, the end of science is metaphysics. No one knows whether the spirit will recover in the future. This is to prepare for everyone to be able to play fireball. As for the other content, sleeping is actually meditation, Akasaki-sensei, even if you don’t play games, you should know that meditation is related to MP value.”

Akasaki Erika put down her cup and asked seriously, "So you are sleeping to recover your MP?"

"Inaccurate, it should be to increase the storage capacity of the MP value. The MP required for high-level magic is often in tens of thousands."

"What about the SOS regiment?" A curious voice interjected.

Hojo Satoru turned his head to take a look, and the short-haired teacher behind him was called 'Kamigami Kumi', a rare female physical education teacher.

This is Akasaki Erika's colleague and friend, and also a kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, and college classmate. Compared with the cute girlfriends, the physical education teacher has healthy wheat-colored skin and is a fit type.

"The introduction of the SOS unity and activity content is also very easy to understand. I think that human beings are not alone in the universe. This is to contribute to the advancement of human society. As you know, our technology has been stagnant for a long time, probably because of the advanced civilization. Locked. SOS stands for distress signal, our planet's stalled technology needs the help of a higher civilization, or direct dialogue, asking why they are doing this."

Watching Erika Akasaki gradually turn from sullen to confused, and her cute eyes widened incredulously, she seemed not to understand why Hojo Satoru's brain circuit was so strange.

After so many explanations, she understood the new word 'puppy love'.

But isn't it normal for high school students to fall in love?Many girls get married directly after graduation, and there are even very few girls who drop out of school and get married at the age of 16.

Also, are you sure you have really contacted aliens and will not bring disasters to the earth?

"What about the service department?" Kamami Kumi asked again with great interest.

Hojo Wuxin is like a mirror. This teacher has a lively and cheerful personality. He enjoys teasing his girlfriends. He is probably...a kindred spirit.

"About the Ministry of Service, club activities are to lend a helping hand to those who encounter difficulties. This is to cultivate students' noble sentiments of being good at helping others and their sense of social responsibility. We can't change the world, but we can change the world around us. Even better...it will also increase the popularity and praise of our school in the eyes of the grassroots."

"Eh—I don't really understand."

"For example, after I helped my grandmother cross the road, I can proudly say that I am from 'Tokyo Aoyama High School - Service Department', and our aim is to make the world a better place... so everyone remembers our school ?”

Akasaki Erika looked at Hojo Satoru earnestly, and he looked at Hojo Satoru neither humble nor overbearing. The sunny boy came out of the mountain with a sincere expression and simple and honest eyes.

"Hojo-kun thinks I'm an idiot?"

"No."

"Pfft...hahahahaha..."

Akasaki Erika was still in a daze, Kagami Kumi finally couldn't hold back anymore, she leaned back and forth with a smile and slapped the table wildly, "Erika, you are a very interesting student, why did the student union refuse, they are really idiots."

"Sleep your sleep!"

Akasaki Erika glared at the short-haired God Kami Kumi, how can there be a teacher who calls the students all idiots behind his back!

"Full of energy, full of energy!"

Kamigami Kumi turned around, crossed her legs and looked at Hojo Satoru with a smile on her face, "Hey, Hojo-kun, I didn't find you so interesting before! If your physical fitness is better, it will be perfect. Would you like to join the track and field club for exercise? ? As a consultant teacher, I am very responsible."

Before waiting for a reply, she continued: "Look, you have such good grades and are so handsome, but your physical fitness is too weak. In fact, it is more masculine boys who are more likely to attract mature girls."

"Well, thanks for the compliment, but I'm in great shape."

Hojo Satoru took out a mint candy from his pocket and threw it to Sensei Kamisami, "Tell me that I'm handsome in return."

"Ah, how lucky I am to receive candy from students for the first time."

Kagami Kumi tore open the package with a smile, threw the candy into his mouth and looked at his friend proudly, "Please don't be so serious, no wonder you can't get a boyfriend, what a waste of such a cute face."

"Kumi!!!"

Akasaki Erika glared at her best friend viciously, her face blushing with shame.This guy is too inconsiderate. It's a good thing that you can mingle with the students, but you must also maintain the majesty of the teacher!

When Hojo Satoru heard the word 'boyfriend', as if he had been reminded, he used the observation technique by accident.

"Name: Chiqi Erika."

"Biological characteristics: human."

"Charm: 7"

"Intelligence: 7"

"Strength: 4"

"Agility: 3"

"Physical strength: 4"

"Spirit: 3"

"Keyword: No dating experience."

"..."

I really can't get a boyfriend!

The corner of Hojo Satoru's mouth twitched. Although he was almost used to the evil taste of the system, what the hell is the last key word? Why does it get weirder the more you look at it?It seems to have a sense of déjà vu of the character attribute card of 〇〇 Academy.

Damn, you said you are not a beautiful girl strategy system!

Chapter 5 Judging by appearance, absolute science

"Ahem, Hojo-kun."

Chiqi Erika regained her composure, and said with some helplessness: "So I asked you to apply for a club, are you going to fool me by creating a club? For yourself, it is always bad to have a blank student resume, at least go to a certain club. A society with a name."

Faced with the teacher's sincere expression, Hojo Satoru spread his hands helplessly, "Mr. Chiqi, you know I'm really busy. It's okay to go to the name, but if you don't attend the event, you will be expelled, right? You can't My student resume is full of negative content about being expelled, right? If I look for a job in the future, which company would dare to accept me?"

"You are very busy?"

Chiqi Erika picked up the pink teacup on the table, put her hand on the lid and was not in a hurry to drink it, "Working five hours a day is far beyond the part-time working hours stipulated by the school. Who do you think can resist the pressure? , Let the school turn a blind eye and close one eye?"

threaten me?

Hojo Satoru was taken aback, then took out another toffee from his pocket, and put it on the desk calmly.

Chiqi Erika glanced at Toffee, unmoved at all, "Don't even think about it, it's useless to bribe me, you have to sign up for a club."

Hojo Satoru sighed, and said helplessly: "Mr. Chiqi, you know that I come from Daisen Town, Tottori Prefecture, which has the least number of cities and the smallest population."

"Well, I know this. The main industries of Dashan Town are tourism and agriculture."

"Forget about the tourism industry. There are not many tourists all year round. They mainly rely on farming and fishing."

Hojo Satoru was also a little speechless. I didn't know the situation of the "Dashan Town" in Japan in the previous life, but the Dashan Town in this parallel world is really poor.

"The infrastructure in the small village in my hometown is not perfect. There are only two buses to the city, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Therefore, families with small trucks are the most popular households in our village. There are no There are cafes, no restaurants, only a grocery store that sells everything, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.”

Akasaki Erika and Kagami Kumi looked at each other, seeming to say, this guy is going to start the bitterness mode?

"Most of the people living there are old people and honest farmers. The teaching content ranges from enlightenment to junior high school graduation. There are only two teachers. In fact, their main business is also farming. The school is a century-old school, because it is about to be destroyed. School, we are the last batch of students. Moreover, I can have the current grades, in fact, most of them are self-taught."

Looking at the two teachers who were getting more and more serious, Hojo Satoru continued: "The teacher only teaches the basic content in the textbook, and most of the expanded knowledge is searched online by myself."

"I'm actually not particularly smart, I just work harder. From problem-solving ideas to teaching content, or watching free teaching videos. The most I do every day is rote memorization, downloading test questions from the Internet and printing out test papers to do it myself , I call this kind of behavior self-feeding.”

"In addition to studying, I also have to help the family farm and share housework... I work so hard just to lay the foundation for my future life and to repay my parents for their upbringing. Besides, my mother has always been in poor health. I hope she will continue to work in the fields for the rest of her life."

Akagi Erika Liu frowned slightly, and slowly put down the cup, Kagami Kumi also put away her smile.

In fact, Hojo Satoru said it was serious. Although Ogawa Town is poor, it is not that exaggerated. The crops of each household can be exchanged for some income.The summary is to be able to be self-sufficient, and not be able to spend extra money even if you are hungry.

It is said that Japanese vegetables are expensive and farmers are very rich, but in fact it depends on the place.Farmers in many places can only enjoy free vegetables, melons and fruits, and have no worries about food and clothing, but they are far from being rich.Hojo Satoru brought a total of 50 yuan to Tokyo, which is already half a year's income for the family.

The "Agricultural Cooperative Union" has always been a cancer in this country, most of which belong to them. This organization buys crops from farmers at low prices and sells them at high prices. Watermelon is a typical example.

What's even more frustrating is that this trade union is a monopoly, and you can't get around it yet.Old men and women in neighboring countries can carry their burdens and set up stalls in the market, but it is almost impossible here.This has formed a real sense of 'the people complain that it is expensive, but farmers can't make money. '

Although living in the countryside does not make much money, there is not much to spend money on, and there is almost no additional expenses except for rice, oil and salt.

However, because of the difficult childbirth that year, it is true that Hojo Satoru's mother is in poor health. Although she survived without any danger, she has some minor ailments from time to time. This is also the reason why she was born in the countryside but is an only child.

"I am 16 years old. It is not easy for my parents to raise me. I can no longer ask my family for money. And I live in Tokyo now. The first thing I have to think about is how to survive here. I can earn an extra hour or two every day. Can relieve me at least three levels of pressure, so to speak... Teacher Chiqi, do you understand?"

Looking at the sympathetic eyes of the two teachers, Hojo Satoru nodded in satisfaction.

Although his personality has become much brighter after rebirth, he still has the experience of his previous life. To be honest, in his eyes, these two teachers in their early twenties are just young little sisters, and they are easy to fool.

"Erika, how about..." Kamami Kumi tried a little bit impatiently: "Why don't you forget it?"

Chiqi Erika didn't answer, but just glanced at her best friend angrily, even if she didn't join the club in high school, she would join the club when she went to college.

This kid has top grades, is smart, and has a great personality. What's even more exaggerated is that he doesn't have any bad habits except eating candy occasionally. After observing for more than a month, he is not even interested in comics, novels, and games. Apart from studying, he is working part-time Earn living expenses.

He has lived like an anti-stress machine for 16 years. If he continues like this, there will still be some psychological problems to some extent. It will not hurt him to relax a little bit.On the premise of guaranteeing the results, also try to add a touch of color to youth?

By the way... He is not interested in girls, he has received more than ten confession letters since he entered school.

I heard from the girls in the class that no matter who puts a letter in his shoe cabinet, every time he will go to the appointment on time, or directly reply the letter and put it in the other party's shoe cabinet, rejecting the other party in the most gentle way.

Ah, the corner of the pink envelope is exposed again on the edge of the pocket. Did it come out when I took out the mints just now?

Akasaki Erika sighed helplessly, turned around and opened the drawer, and took out a form and a thick envelope from it, "Is it mainly money? Now you have no reason to refuse the request for membership."

Hojo Satoru glanced at the form and immediately understood the real reason for being called to the office this time.

"Hojo-kun, your stipend has come down, a total of 100 million yen."

Akasaki Erika raised the envelope in her hand and blinked slyly, "This is the bursary for this year, if you can keep the top two grades in the whole year, the subsidy for next year may be more than 100 million, so you don't have to work hard now, right? "

100 million scholarships, keep it up and maybe give more next year?

Hojo Satoru was stunned suddenly, "Isn't there only 50 in total?"

"At last week's meeting, I reported your problem again. The council decided to increase the annual bonus from 50 to 100 million. The premise is that Hojo-kun completes high school with excellent grades, and then enters Aoyama University. We are considered one A new school needs your performance data during your studies.”

Akasaki Erika smiled and said: "Of course, part-time jobs must also get back on track, reducing the violation time from over 40 hours a week to less than 28 hours."

Hojo Satoru is very poor, why doesn't she know it as a head teacher?Almost every time I see Hojo Satoru in the cafeteria, his lunch is always free miso soup, white rice and pickles (kimchi).Occasionally, the bento brought by myself is also very luxurious, but it is a special product that was discounted at the supermarket the day before, and the price will not exceed 500 yen.

Being poor does not make people disgusted, because he is just poor recently, and there is no inferiority complex and sensitive self-esteem in his eyes, but only stubborn hard work and positive optimism.
