Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Chapter 10 Let the world listen to your voice

Lying on the bed, Hojo Kyosuke looked at the ceiling and began to review the day.

The biggest reward is of course getting to know Nishimiya Glass. Such a cute little loli is really the best treasure in the world. But how to fulfill her wish or change her destiny?

Although this idea was slightly utilitarian, he couldn't help but think that way, because maybe the other person's original fate was also miserable. No matter which aspect you think about, you should consider it carefully.

desire……

Make friends with people?

Recalling the scene when Nishimiya Glass went around making friends with people with a notepad after class, Hojo Kyosuke guessed.

No, no, it shouldn't be that simple, otherwise it should have been completed today. Based on the little Lolita's attitude toward him today, the two of them must have decided to become friends.

Learn to speak? This should be quite reliable and the most feasible.

Based on today's observations and questioning of Nishimiya Glass, Hojo Kyosuke knew that she could hear sounds at normal volumes, but her speaking speed had to be slower because she needed to read lips and she was not familiar with those tones.

For example, dialects and Mandarin have many similar pronunciations, but their tones are different. When someone speaks slowly, you can barely understand it, but if the other person speaks quickly and urgently, you can't understand it.

So if Nishimiya Glass learns to speak, then the problem of listening should be solved naturally.

In addition, after Hojo Kyosuke returned home, he asked his mother to consult a doctor friend about whether Nishimiya Glass's illness could be improved through medical treatment, such as installing a cochlear implant.

Although he didn't know the specific situation of Nishimiya Glass, after hearing that he was already in sixth grade and still wearing a hearing aid, the doctor still made a preliminary judgment-cochlear implants were no help. As for other things, he needed to know the specific situation. Judge.

Hojo Kyosuke had already thought about how to teach Nishimiya Glass to speak during the day. According to his observation, she could already pronounce some simple words such as thank you and goodbye. This further showed that it was feasible to teach Nishimiya Glass to speak.

His initial plan was to start with the fifty-sound chart. No matter how others taught Nishimiya Glass before, he would treat them as if they were learning a foreign language from scratch.

As for Nishimiya Glass's inability to accurately recognize his own pronunciation, he planned to have the other person observe the position of his tongue when he pronounced it, and also reach out to touch his mouth to feel the vibration.

He didn't believe that every detail was exactly the same and two people would pronounce it differently. Of course, if something like this really happens, then think of other solutions.

However, based on what he observed about Nishimiya Glass's hearing condition, this method is feasible.

As for why Nishimiya Glass's family didn't teach her, Hojo Kyosuke also had a preliminary guess from the notepad.

Probably, there is teaching, but not much. Or because Nishimiya Glass is hearing-impaired, her family simply gave up teaching her to speak and communicated with her through sign language or writing.

The last guess is that the family doesn't have that much time to teach patiently. After all, this is a hearing-impaired person. It's not really like Hojo said, it just needs to be learned as a foreign language.

In short, no matter what, let’s start teaching her to speak from tomorrow!

Set a small goal first, so that Nishimiya Glass can sing "The Narrative of Monsters" well!

As for the way to change his destiny, Hojo Kyosuke also speculated in school that maybe the original fate of this "protagonist" was to encounter campus bullying, and the bullies were Ishida Shoya and his small group.

Regarding this, Hojo Kyosuke believed that as long as he was around, this would never happen.

Because Shoya Ishida is actually not a real bad boy, he just didn't get the right education. It just so happens that Hojo Kyosuke has enough confidence in this aspect and believes that he can make Ishida Shoya and the other two little bastards understand that bullying is bad behavior.

Ah, speaking of this, besides running, shouldn’t I also learn some skills that can increase my force value?

Whether you are facing Shoya Ishida, Ichihata Shimada, Keisuke Hirose, dealing with the murderers Sakura may encounter in the future, or convincing your mother that you can protect yourself, you need to have sufficient force. Come support.

So, what to learn?

boxing? No, it's too dangerous to do it with bare hands. It's better to hold a steel pipe.

What about neon traditional kendo? It seems possible. Sure enough, when Neon comes, he should learn swordsmanship. Then he should learn it after that.

A night of silence

As usual, I ran and exercised with Sakura. The little girl was still talking energetically along the way.

"Kyosuke, our class has a physical education class today. We must have a good time today."

"Have you forgotten? Our class's physical education class is at the same time as yours."

"Hehe, of course I know that. What I mean by that is asking you if you want to come and play together."

Sakura is still so cute today. She wears a blue sweater on her upper body, with the hem slightly reaching the top of her thighs, a white T-shirt underneath, and gray shorts and round-toe shoes on her lower body.

It is already the second semester of the sixth grade of elementary school. Considering the weather in the Kanto region, it is just right to wear this kind of clothes. When the temperature rises at noon, I take off my sweater. Hojo Kyosuke is also wearing similar clothes.

"Kyosuke, see you in gym class."

At the door of the classroom, Yamauchi Sakura smiled, waved to Hojo Kyosuke, and shouted loudly.

"Are you stupid? I told you not to shout in crowded places."

"What does it matter? Just like you have to tell your family when you go home. If I shout like this, won't all my classmates know that I'm here, right, Kyoko?"

Saying that, Yamauchi Sakura hugged a little girl who just walked in front of her.

Takimoto Kyoko, a girl with short brown hair and a mole, is Yamauchi Sakura's companion since the third grade and is also her best friend of the same sex.

"Kyosuke-kun, don't be so strict with Sakura. And you, Sakura, too, please pay more attention to me!"

Takimoto Kyoko was suddenly rushed over and hugged by Yamauchi Sakura, causing her body to sway and almost fall down, but she still spoke to her immediately.

"As long as you're happy, I'm going back to the classroom too. See you in gym class, Kyoko, and Sakura."

"What, why is my name listed after Kyoko? It's like I'm a gift." Sakura raised her fist and muttered.

Faced with the little girl's complaint, Hojo Kyosuke said nothing and just waved his hand casually. He knew that if there was a fight, the guy would come up with a lot of lies. The last fight was when the bell rang and the two of them hurriedly ran to the classroom. This situation has happened countless times, and he was deeply affected by it when he was still in the front of the classroom.

Entering the classroom, Hojo Kyosuke glanced around and found that all his classmates were almost here.

"Good morning, Hojo-san!"

A notepad was thrust in front of Hojo Kyosuke.

Looking up, Nishimiya Glass in the front row had already stood up, the small round face under the bob hair was full of happiness.

Nishimiya Glass wrote this sentence last night. In fact, she has been looking forward to today's school life since school yesterday.

This was a feeling she had never felt before, because in her previous school, there was no one who would help her, no one who would protect her when she was bullied, and no one who had any friends. There were only pranks, indoor shoes that could not be found, and bad words on the table.

But things are different now. There is Hojo in the school. Not only will he not bully me, but he will also protect himself. When talking to himself, his black eyes were so gentle. Of course, there is also Sahara-san sitting in front, who is also his new friend.

As for the others, although some classmates got to know each other yesterday, Nishimiya Glass could feel that they did not really want to make friends with her, but out of novelty or other reasons.

Just like Kawai Miki-san, although she looks very kind, she can feel bad things.

"Good morning, Nishimiya-san, please call me by my name from now on."

Without taking the notepad and writing on it to communicate, Hojo Kyousuke slowly said this sentence word for word. He wanted to train Nishimiya Glass's listening and speaking skills from now on. In his guess, there were very few people who were willing to talk to her slowly and clearly like this in the past, which resulted in her poor ability in this area and she needed more training.

"Is it really okay? Kyousuke-kun?"

Nishimiya Glass was really understandable when he spoke like this. After hearing this, the little Loli immediately said excitedly.

"Speak slowly, Glass. It's bad to be anxious. Aren't we already friends? It's normal to call each other names, right?"

Hojo Kyosuke still spoke at a slow speed and spoke each syllable clearly.

"OK!"

Nishimiya Glass smiled happily.

Before the class started, Hojo Kyousuke also planned to discuss with Nishimiya Glass about teaching her how to speak. After all, no matter how good the idea was, it would be useless if Nishimiya Glass was not willing.

"Glass, didn't your family teach you how to speak?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Hojo Kyosuke realized that there was an ambiguity in what he said and quickly added.

"I'm not talking about the way of speaking in language, I just mean speaking and making sounds."

"Yes, grandma has always been teaching me."

Nishimiya Glass was still communicating using notepad.

"Then why are you still... unable to communicate with others normally?"

"My grandma is working very hard to teach me, but she also needs to take care of my sister and me's lives and learn sign language, so she doesn't have much time."

There was no emotion of loss on the little girl's face, only slow gratitude. Her mother was working hard to make money for herself and her sister, and her grandmother was still working hard to take care of herself and her sister at such an old age. This was already good.

"What about your parents?"

In fact, Hojo Kyousuke had heard something from her words, but he had to confirm it again.

"My parents divorced when I was young, and my mother had to work late every day before coming home. My sister and I were taken care of by my grandmother."

The little Loli had a peaceful smile on her face, and there was no hint of dissatisfaction or complaint about life.

Hojo Kyousuke was slightly silent. She was worthy of being a heroine, but her expression was just what she deserved.

"I understand, I have something to ask your opinion on."

"What is it? I will definitely help!"

"I wish you could learn to talk to me."

"What? I seem to have heard it wrong, Kyosuke, could you please say it again?"

Nishimiya Glass wrote on his notepad, with complex expressions on his face, ranging from shock to confusion.

"I said, I hope you can learn to speak with me."

"..."

Kyosuke-kun, you want to teach me how to speak? Glass's eyes widened in disbelief. Did I hear it wrong?

"I said, I hope you can learn to speak with me." Seeing the little girl's appearance, Hojo Kyosuke repeated it again.

it is true! Kyosuke-kun really wants to teach me how to speak! But why, why is Kyousuke-kun so nice to me? Not only are you willing to be my friend and protect me, but now you want to teach me how to speak?

Nishimiya Glass immediately covered her mouth, her big eyes filled with disbelief.

"Why, aren't you willing? If not, at least let me teach you to sing "The Narrative of Monsters."

"I do! I do!"

Nishimiya Glass was so excited that Hojo Kyousuke couldn't understand what she said, but it was still clear from her expression that she was willing.

"In that case, let's start from today. I will teach you after every class."

"Uh-huh!"

Nishimiya Glass moved his little head crazily.

The first class was math, and the teacher was of course Takeuchi. Hojo Kyosuke slept as usual.

When get out of class was over, Nishimiya Glass carefully pushed Hojo Kyosuke's arm where he was sleeping, with such a small force that he didn't know if he wanted to wake him up or not.

"Oh, get out of class is over. I'm sorry, Glass, for wasting a little time. Next time, just try harder to wake me up."

Hojo Kyosuke rubbed his eyes. Sure enough, children should sleep more to grow up quickly.

"It doesn't matter. If you still want to sleep, Kyousuke-kun, just keep sleeping. Besides, I have some notes. Please use them if needed?" Glass shook his head, how could he be so rude to Kyousuke-kun. If the other party hadn't said that he would officially start studying when get out of class was over, she would have stared at Kyousuke-kun blankly until class started.

"No, I already understand what Takeuchi said."

"Kyosuke is so awesome." After Glass wrote this sentence on his notepad, he looked at Hojo Kyosuke with his big bright eyes.

"Haha, let's start learning. I'll teach you from the fifty-sound chart."

"Uh-huh."

Nishimiya Glass nodded vigorously, his big eyes full of seriousness.

"First of all... look at my tongue, it needs to be placed exactly like mine.

When pronouncing, the tongue should press against the lower front teeth...

Breathe out like you’re coughing…”

Hojo Kyosuke taught step by step according to the original plan, because Nishimiya Glass already had a considerable foundation and was proficient in both hiragana and katakana, so the progress was gratifying. Nishimiya Glass learned two pronunciations in just one time after class.

His plan is to teach ten lessons every day, so that he can almost finish them in a week, and then start learning vocabulary. And that part is even easier, because Nishimiya Glass is now at the stage where he can write but not read.

It is not accurate to say that he cannot read. Nishimiya Glass can write the corresponding Roman pronunciation, but he simply cannot pronounce it and his pronunciation is not standard.

The school bell rang, and Hojo Kyousuke put away the lesson plan he had just written.

"Let's continue later. You can also recall more during class. I can make up for you after class content that you didn't hear."

"Yeah, thank you, Kyosuke-kun."

Nishimiya Glass also put away the dense notes she wrote. Basically, she wrote down every word that Hojo Kyosuke said.

Hojo Kyousuke didn't sleep again in this class, and even if he could sleep for a while, he wouldn't be able to fall asleep, so he started to work on the exercise book, which was based on the entrance examination syllabus of Dongcheng Middle School.

Tojo Junior High School is the junior high school of Tojo High School, one of the top three high schools in Tokyo, and one of the top ten junior high schools in Tokyo. Best of all, this junior high school provides accommodation.

This is the goal Mikiko Hojo set for him this morning. As long as he can get into this middle school, he will be allowed to stay in Tokyo alone, but he still has to stay in accommodation.

Originally, Hojo Kyousuke didn't care at all which junior high school he went to. After all, he was a systematic person. As long as he got a useful reward, he believed that the university could easily solve it.

But since my mother has spoken, there is nothing we can do. He didn't want to go back to Hokkaido. With his little animation knowledge, he could confirm that Tokyo was the frequent haunt of the "protagonist", so he had to stay here no matter what.

While Hojo Kyosuke and Nishimiya Glass were studying separately, Ueno Naoka next to them was feeling depressed.

"Sure enough, men just can't resist those pitiful and taciturn girls."

Just after class, when she saw Hojo Kyosuke teaching Nishimiya Glass to speak seriously and letting Nishimiya Glass reach out to touch his face, Ueno Naoka was so envious that she almost broke her pencil.

Damn it, I really want that too! How about I take some exercises and ask Hojo-san for advice? But will he be rejected by Hojo-san? Will he think I'm a troublesome girl?

Naoka Ueno went from being angry to being entangled, ah ah ah, I’m so annoyed, it’s all because of that Nishimiya Glass, she took Kyousuke away from me.

Unbeknownst to Ueno Naoka, the way she looked at Nishimiya Glass fiercely was noticed by Shoya Ishida at the next table.

Seeing how his good friend Ueno Naoka hated Nishimiya Glass, and thinking of his mother's criticism of him last night, Shoya Ishida hatched a revenge plan in his heart.
