Chapter 154: [Moving To Japan]

Chapter 154: [Moving To Japan]

Several weeks later.

I had safely advanced to the 3rd year of junior high school.

With a new school year comes a new class.

Although it's considered a prestigious school, ours is no exception.

They don't divide classes based on abilities.

Well, not officially, but in terms of academic units, it does happen sometimes.

"Well, to begin with, everyone here is incredibly talented, so..."

I casually mentioned it during my livestream.

My voice had improved quite a bit, and I could livestream using my natural voice."

>This is a gathering of fierce warriors who have overcome junior high school entrance exams, you know? (Korean)

>You're saying it like it's someone else's business, but Iroha, you're one of them too

>So, are all of you starting to study for entrance exams and such soon? (U.S)

"Studying itself has always been something everyone has been doing a lot. It feels like we're kicking it up a notch even more now. There might be more people going straight to cram school after school too."

>Dang, I haven't even started studying for entrance exams yet

>I guess it's about time I start going to cram school or something

>But cram schools are crazy expensive, aren't they?

To be honest, since it's a private junior high school, many of our students come from well-off families.

However, there are still students who go to cram schools even if they're not from such backgrounds.

"Yeah, I get it. Cram schools are expensive, right? But, I can't say it too loudly, but for our school's students, cram schools often offer significant discounts, and they can even use the study rooms for free."

>What's that? That's unfair, isn't it? It sounds like favoritism

>Oh, but I think I understand the reason.

>Maybe it's to boost the number of successful applicants

"Well, that's how it is. Students with a high chance of getting into prestigious high schools actually contribute to the school's track record, even if they attend for free. It's a win-win situation."

>Is Iroha-chan also going to cram school?

>It seems like you could be on the teaching side for languages www

>Are you even studying for entrance exams in the first place?

"I mentioned it to everyone a little while ago, but I'm going to study abroad in the United States soon. So, I think I can start serious exam preparation after I come back. I'm not really aiming for prestigious high schools or anything like that."

It's a certain day in April. There's about one month left until I go to America.

Even though I know I'll get busier from now on, I can't help but smile a little — I wonder why that is.

And the next day.

I was at the airport to welcome a certain person.

"Welcome to Japan. Ogu."

"Let's get along well from now on, okay? Iroha!"

"That's, like, subtly wrong, I feel."

I laughed and took one bag from Ogu.

Unlike the usual trips, today she had a lot of luggage.

I heard she had sent quite a bit by air beforehand, but it was still quite a load.

Indeed, it's a "moving" after all.

"Oh, whoa!? It's heavy!"

"Iroha-chan, leave it to me~. There we go! But really, it's great that Ogu could come to Japan early."

Ah-nee took the bag from me and smiled like that.

I was rather "astonished" by that.

"It's only about 2 weeks earlier, right? You didn't have to go through all the trouble of changing your plans everywhere."

"Mmm! It's fine. I wanted to do it this way!"

"But because of that, you left work in America, didn't you? You'll be flying back to America in about a month, won't you?"

"T-That, it's just a coincidence that it happened to overlap with Iroha going to America!"

"You say that with such conviction."

"But, isn't it better for me to be here with Iroha than alone?"

"Huh? I plan to watch your livestream on the plane, so it doesn't really matter."

"Are you kidding me? Pay more attention to me!"

"More importantly, come on, let's hurry. You have a lot to do, right?"

I said and urged Angu Ogu.

After all, today is a full day of moving.
