Now all that's left is to[r] confirm it with my own eyes to make it perfect.[pcms] *883| [fc] As I walked towards the entrance with a light step and in[r] high spirits, the male students, as usual, tried to hit on[r] me with their pickup lines.[pcms] *884| [fc] However, I had no intention of engaging with them. I[r] completely ignored those men as if they didn't exist.[pcms] *885| [fc] The female students who saw this threw envious and jealous[r] glances my way, whispering among themselves, but that too[r] was just one of many meaningless noises.[pcms] *886| [fc] Even so, I'm truly disappointed with the Japanese students.[pcms] *887| [fc] I wasn't particularly expecting much, but their lack of[r] discipline leaves me speechless.[pcms] *888| [fc] Born in a privileged country, in a privileged environment,[r] yet all that's on their minds is frivolous interaction with[r] the opposite sex.[pcms] *889| [fc] No ambition, no curiosity, just squandering their youth by[r] taking advantage of a favorable environment.[pcms] *890| [fc] Lacking in academic motivation, driven only by instinct.[r] Above all, their understanding of their own culture and[r] history is shallow, and they hardly have any patriotism...[pcms] *891| [fc] The relationship between prosperity and decay is close, just[r] as the philosopher said. It's a country that truly[r] disappoints me to my core...[pcms] *892| [fc] Is this really the student body of my mother's homeland?[pcms] *893| [fc] At least my mother was nothing like these people. She was[r] intellectual and kind, and she loved Japan... especially[r] Shibuya, her hometown.[pcms] *894| [fc] Shibuya, a city I visited only briefly as a child and never[r] returned to since then.[pcms] *895| [fc] My mother's longing for her hometown was never fulfilled;[r] she became one of the departed this spring due to a bomb[r] terrorist attack by the old military regime.[pcms] *896| [fc] Longing for the image of my mother and the Shibuya she told[r] me about, I persuaded my father, the ambassador to Japan, to[r] let me come here.[pcms] *897| [fc] Moreover, my father wanted me to graduate from a school in[r] our home country and then study in the United States, but I[r] insisted on coming here instead.[pcms] *898| [fc] Japan was struck by a disaster a few years ago... a[r] biohazard that weakened its national power.[pcms] *899| [fc] It's hardly a safe or good country anymore, and it's losing[r] its dignity as a developed nation.[pcms] *900| [fc] Yet I came here eagerly... but now I can't help feeling[r] disillusioned.[pcms] *901| [fc] Gentle, intellectual, diligent, and rich in ambition. The[r] Japanese people were supposed to be talented in embracing[r] diverse cultures and evolving.[pcms] *902| [fc] However, it seems that was all just my fantasy.[pcms] *903| [fc] Despite these feelings, I decided to head to the library at[r] Shibuya Palace to do some research.[pcms] ;//Y‚a‚fFŠw‰€‘O [bg storage="BG07a"][trans_c cross time=500] ;[eval exp="f.l_map = 1"] *904| [fc] In front of the academy stood a woman in black clothes out[r] of place. It was Sesuka, in charge of my personal security.[r] She seemed to be on the phone with someone...[pcms] *905| [fc] It would be troublesome to be followed around here. I'm[r] confident I can protect myself, so I moved to the back door[r] to avoid being noticed.[pcms] ;//YƒtƒF[ƒhƒAƒEƒg ;[fadeoutbgm time=500] ;[stopse buf=0] ;[sysbt_meswin clear] ;[black_toplayer][trans_c cross time=1000][hide_chara_int] [ANTEN bl] ;//jumpF00050 wðŒ•ªŠò‚O‚Rx‚Ö ;mm ”wŒi‚±‚±‚ɒljÁ [bg storage="bg07a"][trans_c cross time=500] [jump storage="00020.ks" target=*00020_02]
