Chapter 11: No sending off!

Just as Xia Xia Xia Mujun was thinking about how to bring it up, someone suddenly came to the door.

He saw Kondo Miki standing at the door, and noticing the pile of sundries that had fallen on the ground, she looked at Xia Xia Xia Mujun with suspicious eyes:

"Mom, I heard a noise in the room just now. Did something happen?"

Kondo Miyuki's face turned slightly red, and she quickly explained:

"No... nothing, it's just that when I was taking something just now, I accidentally let things fall."

The cold and arrogant Kondo Miki frowned slightly, clearly doubtful of this explanation, but since her mother had said so, she didn't say much more.

"Did you find your things?"

"Do you want me to help?"

Kondo Miyuki shook her head:

"No need, I've already found it."

"Let's tidy up and go out."

Xia Xia Xia Mujun sighed inwardly, knowing that in the current situation, he was afraid he wouldn't find any excuse to get his hands on that magazine.

It seemed he would have to wait for another good opportunity later.

After leaving the storage room.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun thought that since he had gotten the item, he planned to leave, because there was no longer much point in staying here.

"It's getting late, I won't disturb everyone's rest." Xia Xia Xia Mujun prepared to leave.

"Eh, leaving so soon?" Kondo Miyuki was stunned.

"My sister at home has something to find me for, it's time to leave." Xia Xia Xia Mujun made up a random excuse.

"I see..." Kondo Miyuki felt inexplicably disappointed.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun exchanged simple pleasantries with the three of them and planned to leave.

"Mm, take care." Kondo Masaaki just responded casually and continued to look down at the suspense novel in his hand, uninterested.

Kondo Miyuki tried to persuade him to stay a few times, but seeing that Xia Xia Xia Mujun had no intention of staying, she instructed Kondo Miki: "Miki, it's not easy for Xia Xia Xia Mujun to come here, why don't you walk him out for a short distance."

Kondo Miki was a little annoyed.

She had already broken her appointment and delayed going shopping with her best friend, and had planned to tidy up and go out after dinner.

Now she actually had to go and see Xia Xia Xia Mujun off; wouldn't that delay her time again?

But in the end, she couldn't go against her mother, so she sighed and could only go downstairs with Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

On the way downstairs.

Kondo Miki hesitated again and again, but still asked the question she had been wanting to ask.

"By the way, Xia Xia Xia Mujun, how did you think of attending the Private Moonlight Academy?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun didn't think much and explained directly:

"Actually, it wasn't my choice."

"Before my father went bankrupt, he had already signed me up for this school."

"Now that the tuition has been paid, it would be a waste not to attend."

Kondo Miki suddenly realized.

She had thought before that since the Xia family had gone bankrupt, how could they still have money to attend the Private Moonlight Academy.

The tuition for this school was quite expensive.

Given Xia Xia Xia Mujun's current financial situation, it looked very difficult for him to attend this school.

But she hadn't expected that the tuition had been paid before the bankruptcy, so there was no problem with that.

"Was the tuition for all three years paid in full?" Kondo Miki asked.

"No, only the first semester of the first year was paid." Xia Xia Xia Mujun shook his head.

Kondo Miki fell into silence.

She had thought all three years were paid.

Didn't that mean Xia Xia Xia Mujun would have to transfer schools after finishing this semester?

You have to know that the salary for working at a cafe wouldn't be very high.

And if students worked part-time, the salary would only be lower.

If they could get 100,000 yen a month, they would probably be secretly happy.

The reality was probably only 60,000 to 80,000 yen.

In this situation, wanting to continue studying at the high-tuition Private Moonlight Academy was probably very difficult.

It was highly likely that after finishing this semester, he would have to transfer to a public school, a place with low tuition.

Although public schools were cheap, the quality of education at those schools was very poor.

Most students at the school were basically just drifting through their days.

In such a learning atmosphere, it would be even harder to study hard and get into a good school.

As one thing goes up, another goes down; it would definitely not be as good as being in a private school!

At this moment.

Kondo Miki's gaze fell on Xia Xia Xia Mujun beside her, and she noticed that while his outfit looked simple and decent, in reality, his clothes and shoes were basically common brands, and his whole outfit was probably worth less than 10,000 yen.

In contrast, everything she was wearing now was a famous brand...

Kondo Miki sighed inwardly, feeling that the two of them were destined to be people of different classes in the future...

Soon.

After arriving downstairs.

Kondo Miki thought for a long time and decided to give up on walking Xia Xia Xia Mujun any further.

"I have some things to do later, you know the way from here, right?"

"I do."

"...Then I'll walk you to here, bye-bye." Kondo Miki waved goodbye.

"Mm." Xia Xia Xia Mujun waved without looking back and left alone.

And Kondo Miki, watching his lonely and desolate back as he left alone, suddenly hesitated, feeling that maybe she should have walked him a bit further.

After all, she had promised her mother, and it was indeed not easy for him to come here.

She was going to be late anyway, so she didn't have to care about this little bit of time.

But after thinking about it, she didn't go up after all, feeling that it was better to just leave it.

Anyway, there wouldn't be much interaction in the future, so there was really no need to get closer now, lest things become complicated and messy later.

However, just as she was planning to go home, Kondo Miki noticed her best friend, Akita Sana, running over excitedly.

Akita Sana, like Kondo Miki, was also dressed in famous brands.

She excitedly grabbed Kondo Miki's little hand and pointed at Xia Xia Xia Mujun, who was leaving alone in front.

"Miki, did you see that boy just now? He's really super handsome, way better looking than any celebrity I've ever seen!!!"

"I saw him walking out of your apartment building, is he a resident here?"

"Can you introduce him to me?"

Kondo Miki fell into a long silence.

"No..."

"And that person isn't suitable for you, give it up."

Akita Sana muttered:

"He hasn't even dated me, how do you know he's not suitable for me?"

Kondo Miki snorted coldly:

"It's not like I don't know your personality and consumption habits. With your spendthrift ways, how could someone without money afford to support you?"

Akita Sana laughed:

"That's true."

"But judging by your tone, you know that person just now?"

Kondo Miki said lukewarmly:

"I know him."

"I've met him a few times before."

Akita Sana was pleasantly surprised and nudged her with her elbow:

"Then introduce me."

Kondo Miki shook her head:

"He's really not suitable for you, his family is very poor, he can't afford to deal with you."

"The bag you're holding right now is worth a whole year's living expenses for him."

"Our circles are different, forcing a relationship will only make both sides miserable, just let him go..."

Akita Sana shrugged and said:

"Since you've said so, then okay..."

"Don't talk about this anymore, let's hurry up and go have fun!"

Kondo Miki nodded:

"Mm."
