Chapter 4

The class schedule at Japanese schools is quite tight. At Sakano High School, each class lasts fifty minutes, starting with the first class at 8:40 in the morning. There is a ten-minute break between each class, and classes end at 12:30. After that, they have only a fifty-minute break before classes resume at 1:20 in the afternoon, continuing until 3:10.

After that, from 4:00 to 6:00, it's time for club activities.

Of course, if there are no club activities, this time can be used to go home. Some cram schools also choose to start classes at 4:00 in the afternoon—Japan's cram school culture is even more intense than in China. However, in Japan, they are not called cram schools but "juku," a more professional term.

"Big brother!"

After school, a girl stood at the classroom door, waving to Morinatsu.

Her jet-black bangs fell over her snow-white forehead, and her long straight hair was tied into a ponytail, the ends reaching down to her waist. Her very fair skin made her hair, eyelashes, and eyes appear even more black and bright.

Just by standing there, the girl exuded a quiet and elegant aura. She had delicate features, large eyes, a small nose, and lips that made one want to kiss them. She looked like a delicate doll, endearing and lovable.

The girl was smiling at Morinatsu, her lavender-like smile captivating and alluring.

"Yukino."

Morinatsu packed his bag and walked out, under the envious and resentful gaze of Kiriya Takashi.

Amami Yukino, this is the name of Morinatsu's younger sister. She is his identical twin and is in the first-year class 1, right next to Morinatsu's.

Yes, a very beautiful girl, and the first one Morinatsu saw who looked beautiful in the Sakano School uniform.

Although Yukino's figure is delicate and gives a feeling of wanting to protect, her chest is very noticeable, making the school uniform fit tightly. Her well-proportioned figure and large chest make her look perfect in the fitted school uniform.

"How was your first day?" Morinatsu asked as he walked beside his sister.

"Um, the classmates are all nice," Yukino smiled and greeted a classmate beside her. "Are you very concerned, big brother?"

"Not really, I just don't want you to be bullied," Morinatsu said, thinking of Kiriya Takashi. This guy initially approached him because of Yukino. If someone like Kiriya Takashi dared to get close to his sister, this danger must be eliminated.

In addition, Morinatsu was also worried about school bullying. In Japan, school bullying is a common occurrence. In anime, many protagonists' childhood traumas are due to school bullying, reflecting reality in the anime world.

"By the way, big brother, someone in our class asked about you, saying that there's a very handsome guy in Class 2 who looks a lot like me," Yukino smiled.

"Never mind them," Morinatsu shook his head.

In Japan, beautiful girls are definitely a minority. The previous beauty and his current sister are exceptions, but why do Japanese girls look so cute?

The reason is simple: makeup.

Japanese girls are among the best at makeup in the world. Many look like goddesses with makeup but like dinosaurs without it. Unlike in China, where girls are more natural.

Morinatsu has some discerning eyes. The previous beauty was one of the few who didn't wear makeup, which was easy to spot.

As for the others... well, they can be admired from a distance but not too closely.

"Big brother, don't you like any girls?" Yukino tilted her head. "The boys today were all talking about girls. Could it be that you're not interested in girls?"

"How could that be?" Morinatsu shook his head. "I just don't find them appealing, and the school also forbids dating."

Sakano School, being a former religious and all-girls school, has strict rules, especially for girls. The rule against dating was set when it was still an all-girls school.

However, the school is less strict with boys. For example, Morinatsu's shoulder-length hair, which would be cut short in China, is quite common here. There are many boys with even longer hair.

From the corridor, they arrived at the shoe cabinets to change shoes.

In Japanese schools, there is a rule that students must change into indoor shoes when inside. So, the first thing students do when entering the school is to change shoes at the shoe cabinets.

A classic scene in anime is when a student opens the shoe cabinet and finds a love letter. This shoe cabinet is where students change shoes when entering or leaving the school.

Morinatsu took off his indoor shoes and put on his leather shoes... to be honest, Morinatsu really dislikes leather shoes, but there's no choice. The Sakano Private School uniform includes shoes, both indoor and outdoor, which is a hallmark of prestigious schools. However, for Morinatsu, who dislikes leather shoes, this is a major issue. After changing shoes, Morinatsu adjusted his tight collar, which was uncomfortable. The school's girls' uniform is at least stylish, but the boys' uniform is a disaster.

"Is your neck uncomfortable?" Yukino, who had already changed her shoes, asked.

"A little, the collar is too stiff and chafes," Morinatsu replied, having finished changing his shoes. He then walked out of the school with his sister.

The surrounding streets were not very crowded. Despite Japan's high population density, there are few people on ordinary streets during non-commute hours, unless you go to commercial areas.

Walking with his sister on such a street felt quite pleasant.

Then, Morinatsu saw a man in a suit hurriedly walk past, completely ruining the mood he had created.

"Tsk." Morinatsu tilted his head.

The pace of life in Japan is very fast, with everyone walking briskly, forming a stark contrast to the pleasant street.

After walking for a while, they reached a crossroads, waiting for the red light.

Japanese people strictly follow traffic rules and would not jaywalk even if there are no pedestrians around. Morinatsu thinks this is a good habit.

"Ah, why do only elementary school students in Japan have backpacks..."

While waiting for the red light, Morinatsu complained again.

In his previous life, Morinatsu had a habit of carrying a backpack when going out. It's convenient and comfortable, suitable for both school and work. However, in Japan, most backpacks are used by elementary school students. By the time they reach junior high and high school, their bags become single-shoulder or even briefcase-like.

Morinatsu's junior high school bag was a regular, single-shoulder bag, but the high school bag at Sakano School is a briefcase-like bag that can only be carried by hand. It matches the school uniform well, but for Morinatsu, it's a major issue.

"Backpacks would look childish, wouldn't they?" Yukino tilted her head, standing quietly beside him, holding her bag in front of her, looking like a well-bred young lady.

"Of course not the kind for elementary school students. I mean something like a canvas bag or a travel bag," Morinatsu said.

"Eh, wouldn't that make you look like a otaku?" Yukino was shocked.

"Uh..."

Wearing a T-shirt, sneakers, and jeans, and carrying a large backpack... oh, in Japan, that really is the standard otaku look!

Morinatsu couldn't argue with that!

"Uh, the green light is on, let's go home and talk about it." Fortunately, the green light saved Morinatsu from his awkward situation. He hurriedly pulled Yukino across the street and entered the subway station.

Unlike the nearly empty streets outside, the subway station was bustling.

During rush hours, the subway in Japan is very crowded, but on regular days, it's quite manageable. Entering the clean and spacious subway, Morinatsu and his sister began their journey home.
