Chapter 15 (1/2)
Hakuo Academy truly deserve its name as a world renowned n.o.ble inst.i.tute, even if you ignore the ridiculously large area of the school and those educational facilities that look more like villas, it is still in a cla.s.s all its own…
Ignoring everything else, just that ridiculously high entrance threshold is enough to stop all those wannabe students. This can be easily discerned from its entrance exam.
Even Wu Yan who had memorized the study materials wouldn’t say he would definitely get high distinction, forget the other mortals. He reckons it probably has something to do with how she crossed the crazy sister, the paper he got was of a super high difficulty paper, and boy was it hard.
Even so, he’s pretty sure he can get a pa.s.sing mark. He felt really regretful, the him who treated papers like ferocious beast won’t ever return. Now with ‘impeccable memory’, papers and whatnot might as well be toilet paper to him… (TL: lit floating clouds, transient things/ inconsequential)
After this, he just need to sit tight and wait for the enrollment letter from the academy to arrive…
However, he is facing another problem, this problem has its source in one of Yukiji’s question.
“Leave your address here, and after awhile, someone would send the enrollment letter oveer.”
Yes, this is pretty standard, leaving an address is pretty standard procedure. Hakuo can’t be expected to correct your papers just for you. And it also takes time to prepare the enrollment letter, normally around 2 to 3 days.
And within this 2 to 3 days, surely one can’t stay at school right?
Hence, the procedure of leaving one’s address.
Problem is, he don’t have one!
He just arrived at this world for less than a day, why would he have a place to stay….
Haphazardly write one? One surely can, but he doesn’t know when the enrollment letter would arrive, he can’t just camp out at that address waiting for one…
Thus, his current predicament.
It’s just an address…. why the distress…
“What’s the matter? Is there a problem?”
Hinagiku already got use to him being troubled here and there.
Looking at the pretty Kaichou sama, he had a bright idea.
He went ‘pata’ and knelt in front of her, giving the Kaichou sama who’s not afraid of heaven or earth only height and small breast, a jump. Before she could recover, he did a bow with a serious look.
“Are you in need of a butler?….”
“Ha?”
Now she’s decoupled from his frequency, what is happening?
“Maa, Hinagiku, just treat me as your butler.”
Typical of him, impossible to be treated seriously. It hadn’t even been 1 second, he returned into goofy mode. Spreading his arms wide he laughed.
“Be my butler?”
Pointing at her nose, she was taken aback. She’s in Hakuo where there’s tons of rich kids running around, but in the end, she’s just a kid from a slightly well off family, she wouldn’t have anything to do with a butler.
Not to mention, our kaichou sama is notoriously competent, otherwise she wouldn’t have become student council president in a place filled with talented people. She never had the need to hire any butler.
Now this dude comes running along, saying he wants to be a butler to someone like her who makes the need for butler obsolete. She can’t help but be skeptical and questions if he has other motives. (TL: You bet your cute a.s.s he does.)
“Yes! I want to be your butler!”
While donning a serious face.
“A student council president of the n.o.ble school of Hakuo Academy, how can someone like this not have a butler? That’s why I want to be your butler!”
“But… I have no need for one, plus, I can’t afford one, I may look like this but my family can’t be compared to those rich families. I am no Young miss…”
She just told him straight while looking troubled. Honestly, she can’t predict his spontaneuos behaviors, not even now could she do it. Just look at now where they were talking about enrollment procedures.
“No problem, I don’t need salary, so please don’t worry about it!”
No, even if you put it that way, I can’t be at ease…
She thought of such a retort, free labour, completely voluntary, even if one say’s there’s no strings attached, no one would believe it.
“How can we do that! Not being paid…”
Immediately, she raised her guard against him. She looked like she’s trying to defend herself against a wolf. (TL: of the “hunt you down eat you alive” variety, if ya know what i mean)
“That isn’t important, what’s important is….”
Raising his head, he looked at her. He changed his serious expression into one like a puppy eyed abandoned child forsaken by the world.
“I don’t have a place to go!”
“…..” Looking at him who can change his face faster than his games, summing up what he has said, the absurd conclusion made her lose her composure. She can only twitch her lips.
