Eriri Spencer Sawamura is Tomoya Aki's childhood sweetheart.
There are three famous people in Toyonosaki Academy. In addition to Tomoya Aki, one of them is the girl with blonde hair, blue eyes and twin tails in front of you.
She is a recognized beauty in the whole school. She has a petite figure and her blonde hair is as delicate as a work of art and is combed into cute twin tails. She has become an iconic thing like a registered trademark.
With clear blue eyes and skin as white as porcelain, this mixed-race girl perfectly blends the advantages of Europeans and Asians. In her daily life at school, she is an eye-catching figure. Any man who meets her for the first time will have his eyes fixed on her for a moment.
But as childhood friends, Tomoya Aki knows Eriri better than anyone else here.
This beautiful and lovely girl looks bright and glamorous, as if she is under the spotlight, but inside she is just the same otaku as he was before.
However, Eriri is an invisible otaku, and only a few people know about her otaku attributes. If the people here knew that Eriri was an otaku, the scene would probably be like the sky falling.
"Eri, what do you want from me?"
There was a flicker of doubt in Tomoya Aki's eyes. He was not sure whether his relationship with Eriri could be considered good or bad.
Because if she was being nice, Eriri kept her distance from him in order to maintain her image, and after elementary school, it took a long time for these childhood sweethearts to be able to communicate normally.
But if you want to say something bad, before spring break, they were just otaku friends who borrowed games and comics from each other. Although there were some twists and turns, it didn't matter now.
"Gu..."
The gaze from her childhood sweetheart made Eriri a little nervous. She folded her hands, pretending to be reserved, pursed her lips, as if she seemed to be hesitant to speak, and her little canine tooth added a touch of cuteness to her appearance.
She did stop Tomoya Aki, but when she got in front of him, Eriri swallowed the words she had prepared before and was unable to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it now. If someone comes over and sees us together, that's not what you want to see."
Aki Tomoya looked at his childhood sweetheart helplessly, with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes. It was really rare for someone to come to him on his own initiative in school.
Perhaps it was because Aki Tomoya did not hide the sarcasm in his tone, and this sentence sounded very harsh to Eriri's ears, but seeing the calm expression on his face, she didn't want to get angry.
Everyone else can see Tomoya Aki's "abnormality", but if Eriri, his childhood sweetheart, can't see it, then she is blind.
And seriously speaking, Eriri was the first person to notice that something was wrong with Akito Tomoyuki.
"I'm so angry for no reason..."
She muttered through gritted teeth, but it made Aki Tomoya couldn't help laughing.
"You're the one who suddenly came to my house, right? Why are you so angry?"
Akitomo didn't think that Eriri had any reason to be angry with him.
If it were in the past, Tomoya Aki could still respond and comfort her with a smile, but now he doesn't have the time to continue playing this twisted childhood sweetheart game with Eriri.
"Gu..."
Seeing this strange look in Tomoya Aki's eyes again, Eriri looked at her in disbelief, still unwilling to believe this fact at this time.
"You, you, you really sold all the things in your house?"
Eriri stuttered at first, then finally asked in a tone of pretended indifference, shaking her golden ponytail and tilting her head. This tsundere little action was really very skillful.
Hearing this, Aki Tomoya frowned slightly and replied, "You already know everything, right? Thanks to those games, anime, comics, and light novels, my part-time job schedule is completely full. How can I make ends meet if I don't sell them?"
There were so many things in the room, and they cost a lot of money.
After thinking it over carefully during the spring break, Tomoya Aki completely broke with the past and set his sights on the University of Tokyo.
But for me, whose deviation value is only 45, this is not an easy road to take. Learning also costs money!
So in order to prove his determination, Tomoya Aki directly underwent plastic surgery on himself, and found people who were willing to accept it on Instagram and Twitter.
"Those took you years to collect, are you really going to sell them?!"
Eriri widened her eyes in anger, as if she felt it was a pity to sell those things, or perhaps it was because she saw her childhood sweetheart Tomoya Aki's determination to quit staying at home.
Facing her question, Aki Tomoya pushed his glasses up and replied calmly, "I also have the pressure of going to college."
It was an impeccable reason. Once this sentence came out, even Eriri couldn't refute it.
Even Aki Tomoya bluntly compared him, "Unlike you, our deviation values are similar, but I can't really rely on becoming a famous ACG blogger for my future. If I continue to immerse myself in those things for the next two years, I'll be the one paying the price in the end."
Eriri is different from him. She doesn't have to worry about further studies at all. Not only is her family background different, but she is also a well-known artist in the fan community. She has a bright future. Even if something goes wrong in the future, she still has a diplomat father to support her.
Therefore, Akitomo didn't feel that he had no way out and could not really make games according to his previous ideas, or make a living as a well-known blogger. People should have a more ambitious goal.
"But why does it have to be the University of Tokyo? With a mere 45% deviation, are you expecting to get into that kind of place? Don't be silly! Baka!"
Eriri said indignantly that it was true that she faced the pressure of further studies, but it was not necessary to completely quit her job as a homebody, and she still had the delusion of getting into the best university in Japan.
The deviation value is 45. I have no chance of getting into the University of Tokyo, and I'm already in my second year of high school!
She couldn't understand why, even though she was so close to Tomoya Aki, the distance between their hearts had suddenly widened into a huge chasm.
"There's no conflict between the two. Precisely because it's the University of Tokyo, I have to work twice as hard as the average person. Where do you think the money for my cram school comes from?"
A light flashed in Tomoya Aki's eyes that was beyond the reach of Eriri.
Is the college entrance examination in Japan more difficult than in China?
In fact, all crows are black. Don't think you have seen the whole picture based on your superficial understanding.
Even high schools in Japan are divided into different levels, such as high schools for preparatory courses, general high schools, non-preparatory high schools, sports high schools, etc.
As for Toyonosaki Academy, I'd bet An Iro also said frankly that it was just average, not too good, but not too bad either.
If you really want to get into a good university, what is taught in school is not enough. Most students who want to go to higher education and face the pressure of going to higher education will choose cram schools, which are also tutorial schools, and the tuition fees are a huge expense.
If Eriri thinks that Aki Tomoya is just talking and dreaming here, she is totally wrong!
She had no idea how much determination Aki Tomoya had made when he set the University of Tokyo as his goal.
Although the deviation value of 45 was before the spring break, I can still use some reasons to comfort myself, but if I think about it rationally, even if the knowledge I learned in the previous life is almost lost, I can still cope with some science problems and English. But from now on, that little knowledge is really a drop in the bucket.
If you don't take action, you will really be laughed at!
"If I don't take action, people will think I'm just talking. If I don't pay for the first term of the cram school myself, my parents won't believe I have such a resolution!"
Tomoya Aki's words were so powerful that they completely shocked Eriri.
Learning also costs money!
In particular, he had to change his parents' views of him, so Tomoya Aki gritted his teeth and paid for his first semester at cram school to let them see his determination. This made them promise that if they saw that he really had this determination in the first semester, his family would give him corresponding support.
His words left Eriri speechless. It was not until now that Eriri realized that the Aki Tomoya in front of her was no longer the childhood sweetheart she was familiar with.
In just one short spring break, Aki Tomoya has completely completed his transformation!
"But…but…"
Eriri avoided looking, not daring to meet Aki Tomoya's gaze. She subconsciously clenched her hands, her delicate body trembling slightly, and her eyes looked as if she was about to cry.
