NOVEL NEXT Chapter 25
After waking up from his nostalgia, Kasugano Toru opened the phone box in his hand, checked the appearance, and pressed the power button.
With the completion of activation, the inspection of the goods was over.
“Hello, where can I sign for it?”
While Toru Kasugano was reminiscing about the past, the middle-aged man from the courier company didn’t say a word the whole time, but just waited quietly by the side.
In this regard, it has to be said that Japan really takes service to the extreme.
Of course, Toru Kasugano doesn’t think there is anything wrong, because extreme service means extreme charges.
To give a very simple example, Japan’s taxi fares are notoriously high.
Japanese people once conducted a survey, comparing the taxi prices in several well-known cities or countries in the world, and how many kilometers you can travel with 1,000 yen.
The results of this survey are shocking. The same 1,000 yen can run 87 kilometers in India, 55 kilometers in Thailand, 24 kilometers in Beijing, and 8 kilometers in New York, but this number becomes 2.9 kilometers in Tokyo.
The reason for this result is that Japanese people have taken service to the extreme.
The driver must wear a suit and white gloves, and must conduct an inspection before driving out.
The air-conditioned car must be spotless, and the door must open automatically when you get off the car.
They can be drivers, free tour guides, and can carry bags for you.
When they check the condition of the car, they have a special checklist, and the driver must check it against the contents of the checklist, without missing a single item.
This is the ultimate service, but the ultimate service is exchanged for the ultimate charge.
If possible, Toru Kasugano would rather pick up the phone himself and save the courier fee.
Don’t believe those stores’ lies about door-to-door delivery, they just include the cost of transportation in the goods, and then do you a favor.
But this is also the norm in Japan, and Toru Kasugano, an ordinary boy, naturally can’t change anything. At this time, he can only honestly follow the guidance of the courier and leave his name where he should sign.
“Ding Ding, this is a surprise from Qiong to my brother.”Just as I closed the door, my sister sent me a text message.
The emoticon at the end of the message made Kasugano Toru smile warmly.
“Don’t spend money recklessly next time.” After thinking for a long time, Kasugano Toru edited a message and sent it over.
“Humph, brother, you can’t blame me. It was you who said that you wanted Qiong to spend the money she earned on what you think is important. In Qiong’s heart, making her brother happy is the most important thing.”
In the dormitory of the private Otome Saki Girls’ Academy, Kasugano Qiong was lying on her bed in pajamas, with her two smooth legs exposed to the air, swaying back and forth, with her arms propped in front of her, looking in a very good mood.
“Qiong, are you chatting with your brother again?”When the roommate saw the girl’s expression, he knew what she was doing without asking.
This brother-con, always calling her brother, the whole dormitory’s ears are almost callused.
“Yes, I gave my brother a gift today and I am asking him if he likes it.”
“You, you talk about your brother every other sentence, could it be that Qiong is a brother-con?” another girl asked teasingly
“That’s right, Qiong is a brother-con, and the brother will definitely be mine!”Without any shyness or hesitation, the girl made such a rebellious declaration.
……
Kasugano Toru had no idea what was happening hundreds of kilometers away. He was fiddling with his new phone.
He first replaced the SIM card on the new phone, then downloaded some commonly used apps. After getting familiar with the phone’s operation, he remembered that he had promised Eriri today to add her as a LINE friend.
Thinking of this, the boy quickly downloaded the LINE client and entered the string of numbers he got from Eriri today.
“Ding.” After only a few seconds, there was a notification sound that my friend had passed. After a few more seconds, a cute emoticon came over.
“Good evening, Kasugano-san.”
“Good evening, Sawamura-san.” Kasugano Toru was not worried about making a mistake, because the avatar of this account was Eriri herself.
With golden twin ponytails hanging on both sides, matched with a pink hairband and fair skin, Kasugano Toru had to admit that this girl was definitely the most beautiful one among the girls he knew.
But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he didn’t know many girls, so he kept this compliment in his heart.
After a simple greeting, the atmosphere fell into an awkward silence. It was not until two minutes later that Eriri sent a very meaningless message.
“Did Kasugano-san just finish her meal?”
“Not yet. I just got home and my sister gave me a gift, so I’ve been studying it.”
Not only did Qiong admit that he was a brother-con, Kasugano Toru never shied away from the fact that he had a good relationship with his sister.
It’s better to say that having such a lovely sister is already the object of envy of countless people.
If possible, he wanted everyone in the world to know that Kasugano Qiong was his sister.
She was his most important and cherished sister.
“Eh? So Kasugano-san has a younger sister?”This is the first time Eriri knows this, but it’s normal, after all, she has only known Kasugano Toru for a few days.
“Well, she is in the third year of junior high school now, and I heard that she is aiming for the private Fengzhiqi Academy.”Thinking of her sister’s vow to be admitted to Fengzhiqi, Kasugano Toru laughed again
“She will definitely succeed!” Ying Lili gave her blessing
“Thank you Sawamura-san for your encouragement”
“Hehe.” The girl sent another cute expression, and Kasugano Toru felt that this girl who was giggling seemed to be Eriri’s giggling.���Looks like
“By the way, have you used the digital tablet? Have you encountered any problems?”
“Not yet. If I have any questions, I will definitely ask Sawamura-san for help. I hope Sawamura-san won’t think I’m troublesome then.”
“How could it be, I’m not that kind of person!”Eri made an angry expression.
What, am I the kind of person who has no patience?
Even the girl herself didn’t realize that during the conversation with Kasugano Toru, the state she showed was completely different from that in school.
Maybe it was because when Kasugano Toru drew her portrait, he saw through her heart at a glance.
Eriri always felt that this boy was particularly trustworthy.
“”Sawamura-san, I think you must have something to ask me, right?” After hesitating for a while, Kasugano Toru still sent this message.
He didn’t think that the other party would come to him for no reason.
Nor would he be so enthusiastic for no reason.
It is said that if someone is too attentive without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Although Kasugano Toru believed that the girl’s family background would not let her do those bad things, he didn’t believe that Eriri had no other request for him.
Sure enough, after a long silence on the other side, he finally sent a message
“Kasugano-san, may I ask how you can see through me?”
“？？？”
