Chapter 400: 192. Heading Toward the Christmas at the End of the Term (1)

The train pulled into the station, and Dubian Che followed the crowd onboard.

Without even looking, it was clear there were no seats available in the carriage.

There were office workers in uniforms and students reviewing flashcards for their final exams.

Advertisements hung from the carriage signpost:

"Santa Clause on a reindeer, far outstripped by a BMW."

"KFC Christmas Party Bucket! Three combinations to cater to dinners from two to group feasts!"

"’Spring Things’ Joint Christmas Strawberry Cake! Call to order: xxxxxx!"

Dubian Che’s gaze lingered on a scantily clad Santa, Yuzuki Yuki.

’Why is it always you coming out to sell, Miss Second Place?’

As the train clanked and rattled along, the carriage shook, and Dubian Che couldn’t help but yawn.

He grabbed the handstrap, standing before the seats filled with passengers, gazing out the window.

It was late December, and through the fogged-up glass, he could feel the winter chill piercing through.

In less than a week, the second semester of his freshman year would come to an end.

He got off at Shibuya Station and walked up the slope to school.

Students he encountered, both boys and girls, mostly wore scarves and thick coats over their uniforms.

In contrast were Dubian Che’s stylish posture and open uniform jacket, making one doubt the cold.

"Good morning, Kiyono."

Their school arrival times matched, and three out of five days, they would meet on this slope.

The other two days, by the shoe lockers.

Kiyono Lin nodded, not planning to talk, but upon seeing his exposed neck and open uniform, she couldn’t resist.

"Mr. Dubian, aren’t you cold?"

"Of course not, my head isn’t messed up; if it were really cold, I’d surely wear more."

Kiyono Lin nodded again, then fell silent.

Since the winter camping trip, the trio’s relationship hadn’t changed much.

Without Jiutiao Meijie, the two continued wasting time reading books at the Human Observation Department;

With Jiutiao Meijie, wasting time turned into arguments, with Dubian Che always getting hurt.

Eventually, he wised up, bought a chess set, and managed to extract himself from the battleground.

As they walked, a group of buzz-cut youths approached, running.

In the cold morning, they wore summer sports clothes—short sleeves and shorts, fervently chanting slogans as puffs of white breath spewed from their mouths.

"Goda!"

"Fight!"

"Goda!"

"Fight!"

It was the baseball team.

According to Kunii Shuichi, the new second-year team leader had vowed: if they didn’t make it to the Koshien finals next year, as an apology to all the teachers and students of Goda, the baseball team would kneel down at the school gates.

Honestly, Dubian Che didn’t care much about the baseball team or whether they made it to Koshien or not.

But a bunch of people kneeling at the school gates would be quite a sight; he decided he’d spend next summer glued to the TV rooting against them.

Towards the back of the troop, Kunii Shuichi also yelled at the top of his lungs.

Dubian Che saluted him.

’What are you doing?’ Kiyono Lin’s glance asked, perplexed.

Dubian Che lowered his hand, saying:

"Minister, shouldn’t you reflect a bit? This is the rosy high school life. Our Human Observation Department might soon become as irrelevant as the Light Music Club that just drinks tea."

’How do you know about the Light Music Club?’ Kiyono Lin’s eyes conveyed that message.

"That’s a long story, let’s walk and talk; I’ll explain in detail."

After greeting the teacher on duty at the school gate, they stepped into campus.

The giant oak tree had shed all its leaves, its bare branches now loaded with sparrows.

"One night, I turned on the TV and saw TBS broadcasting an anime called ’K-ON!’, inside..."

At the moment Dubian Che started with ’One night,’ Kiyono Lin tuned out.

They changed into indoor shoes and entered the classroom, the warm air relaxing their bodies.

There was still some time before the morning meeting; some in the class chatted, others crammed for exams.

"Mr. Dubian, good morning," Ikeda Kazumi greeted.

"Good morning." Dubian Che hung his backpack by the corridor side of his desk, unzipped it and pulled out some textbooks and ’Chasing Water Years.’

"Christmas is almost here, any plans, Mr. Dubian?"

"I just want to focus on preparing for the finals and continue to dominate the Island Country, defending my title as the national number one."

"Knowing you, Mr. Dubian, I’m sure you’ll easily manage!"

"Thanks for the good luck." Dubian Che neatly arranged his homework to one side and opened ’Chasing Water Years.’

This book was really heavy; he had to get it done before heading back to his hometown.

"You must still have a good Christmas though."

"And why is that?"

"In a single by SKE48 called ’1!2!3!4! Yoroshiku!’, there’s a lyric that says, ’Christmas, Valentine’s, Birthday, these are said to be the three decisive battles of love.’"

"I already have a girlfriend though."

"Mr. Dubian!" Ikeda Kazumi took the ’Chasing Water Years’ that Dubian Che had opened, "Don’t tell me you think that dating is the end of romance? Relationships need to be nurtured carefully!"

"Is that so?"

"Of course! Girls faithfully believe in romance. Even someone like Jiutiao would want to have a romantic Christmas!"

Today Jiutiao Meijie wasn’t around; year’s end seemed exceptionally busy at her company.

After school, Dubian Che mentioned this to Kiyono Lin.
