February 12, Saturday.
Dubian Che returned from spending the night in Chiyoda and, in the lobby of the apartment, ran into Xiaoquan Aonai who was about to head out.
"Mr. Xiaoquan, good morning."
"Good morning." Xiaoquan Aonai had lost the awkwardness from watching the movie the day before, "Did you just come back from morning exercise?"
Dubian Che hesitated for two seconds before nodding, "Yes, I just came back from morning exercise."
Having said that, he asked with slight curiosity, "Why are you alone, Mr. Xiaoquan? What about Akiko and Mr. Miyazaki?"
Usually, the three female teachers would go out together.
"They're off today, still sleeping. I'm headed to school to set up the examination hall for tomorrow's entrance exam," explained Xiaoquan Aonai.
"No wonder they earn six million yen a year, and you earn ten million yen."
