The Sword Deity in Tokyo

Chapter 124: Short-term Goals Questionnaire

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

The next day, Kimura Kazuki was on his way to school when he coldly said, “From now on, do not enter my dreams.”

Last night, it did not take long for Kimura Kazuki to find out that Furuhashi Sakurakyu entered his dreams. If it was not for his timely control, his consciousness could have killed her with ease by mistake.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu nodded fearfully. Yesterday’s near-death experience had frightened her, even if she had already died once before this.

However, thinking about Kimura Kazuki’s dreams, she could not help but mock, “Didn’t you say that it’s fine as long as you have enough money to use... Your dream last night was shocking.”

As soon as she entered Kimura Kazuki’s dream last night, she realized that the entire dreamland was filled with dollar bills. Buildings were built from newly-minted money, and the ground was covered neatly with cash. Apart from money, there were mountains of jade even taller than Mount Everest, shimmering a fluorescent glow in a far distance.

Awkwardness reflected in Kimura Kazuki’s eyes for the first time since he time-traveled here.

To be honest, he had never thought that he would dream of such things, he could only say that it must have been a subconscious thing. Regarding the supposed mountains of jade, they were actually made of Spiritual Stones. His longing for Spiritual Stones far exceeded that of money. It was just a pity that he had not fully recuperated his reiki, and without a large amount of reiki, it was not possible to create a Spiritual Stone Mine.

He did not say a word. He asked Furuhashi Sakurakyu questions about ability after he woke up.

He knew that she could enter the dreams of others and that she could control them. However, to control dreams, one required to use a large amount of energy and reiki.

This ability might seem rather useless at first glance, but he knew that it was quite good, and it could be utilized in many other ways. But with Furuhashi Sakurakyu’s spirit, asking her to control the dreams of others with ease without a fully recuperated reiki would be impossible.

However, since she could enter dreams, talking to others should be achievable for her.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu looked at the students surrounding them, her face was filled with excitement. She wanted to go to school even more than Kimura Kazuki because her precious daughters would be there. Also, Kimura Kazuki was going to Sakura Kyu High School, which was the school she founded. She really wanted to see how much it had changed. Hence, throughout their journey there, her heart had already flown to Sakura Kyu High School.

After entering the school, Furuhashi Sakurakyu surveyed the school grounds and realized that the scenery was the same as it was before, it was no different from the previous years. There were even some newly renovated buildings; being the school founder, she could tell the difference. The students were exuding the vitality of youth, leading her to sigh.

However, something confused her. The students showed deference and admiration the minute they caught sight of Kimura Kazuki... She did not overthink it. After taking a brief glance at the academy, her attention was turned toward her daughters.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu could not bear it any longer during the first lesson. She saw how serious Kimura Kazuki could be in class. Her body floated downward, reaching the first floor. She planned on going to the freshman classes to see her daughters.

Kimura Kazuki did not mind as long as she would not disrupt his class time by chattering at his side.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu only came back when it was recess time. When Kimura Kazuki arrived at the canteen, he sat down at one of the tables after ordering his food. The Furuhashi sisters were yet to arrive. After a while, the Furuhashi sisters came balancing their own lunch trays. Following behind them was Furuhashi Sakurakyu.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu did not look very happy at that moment...

She spent the entire morning on the first floor, assessing the performance of her four daughters.

Not one of the four had paid attention in class. The four of the sisters were doing their own things. As for Akino... she had been playing video games during entire classes. Her teachers couldn’t stop her, even if they tried.

That Hara Mayo... How could he not pay attention to their daughters’ academic performance? With this kind of situation, she assumed that her daughters’ results must be abysmal.

She recalled that her daughters did very well academically before her death, especially Akino, who had gotten full marks in all her subjects when she was only in Primary 1.

The only thing that comforted her was that all four of her daughters were healthy without defect, and this made her jovial.

However, the moment Furuhashi Sakurakyu saw her daughters held their lunch trays and sat down in front of Kimura Kazuki, the corner of her eye twitched. It looked as though Kimura Kazuki and her four daughters were indeed well-acquainted.

The next minute, she suddenly felt uneasy because of what she did yesterday. She had taken Kimura Kazuki’s mobile phone and texted all of her daughters. It would only take a couple of minutes of conversation, and Kimura Kazuki could find out about it.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu walked over to them awkwardly. The table still had two empty seats. She randomly sat down on one of them, but to her luck, she realized that Harunaka and the others had yet to talk about yesterday, causing her to let out a sigh of relief.

Upon thinking for a moment, she suddenly became more alert. If Harunaka and the others come clean about it, it would prove that Kimura Kazuki and her daughters were only friends. But if Harunaka and the others did not say anything about it... Furuhashi Sakurakyu felt worse the more she thought about it. She sat by the side and sighed a lot, causing Kimura Kazuki to glance oddly at her.

Thinking about the sisters’ academic performance, he had no doubts as to the cause. When parents observed how badly their children did in school, it would be impossible for them to feel delighted.

He finished his meal quickly. Even though he could sense that Harunaka, Natsui, and Fuyuno wanted to say something. Since no one spoke first, he would not ask them out of curiosity.

Moving fast, he took the opportunity to go out of the school gate during recess time. Due to the distance issue, Furuhashi Sakurakyu had to follow him.

The minute they stepped out of the school grounds, Furuhashi Sakurakyu could not hold it in any longer. She prompted, “What is your relationship with my daughters? Why did you eat with them?”

“I was previously their home tutor.” Kimura Kazuki knew that the moment she arrived at school and found out the relationship between him, Harunaka, and the others, she would definitely ask this question. He had no intention to conceal this, so he told her the truth.

Furuhashi Sakurakyu was left speechless for a while. She ignored everything regarding the choice of dining table purchase and home tutoring immediately. Her mind had only one thought, which was about the academic performance of her daughters... How did Harunaka and the others get such terrible results? She never felt this confused.

Meanwhile, Kimura Kazuki sent out the translated network background to his contacts and went to the printing shop to photocopy it. After posting them out, he also printed more than 100 sheets of ‘Short-term Goals Questionnaire.’

He had not directly approached Harunaka and the others to ask about their short-term goals at the cafeteria. The four of them would not have told him the truth even if he asked. However, if he distributed them and called it the academy or student council’s initiative among the students and requested them to fill in, it would most likely be able to help him to understand them better.

After he finished photocopying them, he called upon Yanagawa Izumi to pass him the questionnaires upon arriving at the student council.

He instructed him to get the student council to distribute these questionnaires to every freshman class monitor and make sure that all the freshman students filled in the surveys before school ended. After they had collected these questionnaires back from the students, he would come to the student council to go through them.

Yanagawa Izumi nodded and did not question Kimura Kazuki. He assumed that this was the school’s intention.

After all, the Headmaster knew that the student council actually sort of counted as half the Sword Believers’ Club. Many issues were informed via the Head of Department previously.
