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 gain is of course getting to know Nishimiya Glass. So, how to fulfill her wish or change her destiny?

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.

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 volume, 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 others speak slowly, you can barely understand them, but if they speak quickly and urgently, you will not understand them.

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 with a friend who was a doctor about whether Nishimiya Glass's illness could be cured 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 Kyousuke has already thought about how to teach Nishimiya Glass to speak during the day. According to his observation, she can already pronounce some simple words such as thank you and goodbye. This further proves that it is feasible to teach Nishimiya Glass to speak.

Hojo Kyousuke's initial plan was to start with the fifty-sound chart. Regardless of how others taught Nishimiya Glass before, he would treat Nishimiya Glass as if he was learning a foreign language from scratch.

As for Nishimiya Glass's inability to accurately recognize his own pronunciation, Hojo Kyousuke planned to let Nishimiya Glass observe the position of his tongue when he pronounced it, and also stretched out his hand to touch his mouth to feel the vibration.

He didn't believe that every detail was exactly the same and two people would make different sounds. Of course, if such a thing really happened, then he would 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 was teaching, but not much. Or maybe because Nishimiya Glass was 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 does not have that much time to teach patiently. After all, this is a hearing-impaired person. It is not really like Hojo said, just treat it as learning 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 school bullying, and the bullies were Ishida Masaya 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 Shoya Ishida and the other two little bastards understand bullying.

People behave badly.

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. You might as well use a steel pipe.

What about neon traditional swordsmanship? It seems possible, I’ll learn it later.

A night of silence

As usual, I ran and exercised with Sakura. Sakura 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?"

"Haha, of course I know, but I'm afraid you've forgotten it!"

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 physical education class."

At the door of the classroom, Yamauchi Sakura waved to Hojo Kyosuke with a smile 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 to hug her by Sakura Yamauchi, 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 physical education class, Kyoko, and Sakura."

"What, why is my name listed after Kyoko? It's like I'm a giveaway."

Faced with Sakura's complaint, Hojo Kyosuke said nothing and just waved his hand casually. He knew that if he continued, Yamauchi Sakura would come up with a lot of lies, which would eventually cause him to be late.

Entering the classroom, Hojo Kyosuke took a casual look, and sure enough, his classmates were almost here.

"Good morning, Hojo-san!"

A notepad was thrust in front of Hojo Kyousuke.

Looking up, Nishimiya Glass in the front row had already stood up, with a happy look on his face.

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

This is a feeling I have never felt before, because in the previous school, there was no one who would help her, no one who would protect her when she was bullied, and no friends. There were only pranks and nowhere to be found indoors.

Shoes, bad words on the table.

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

As for the others, although some of her 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, Nishimiya Glass can feel bad things.

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

Instead of taking the notepad and writing on it to communicate like other students, Hojo Kyousuke said this sentence slowly and word by word.

He wants to start training Nishimiya Glass's listening and speaking skills from now on. In the past, there were very few people who were willing to talk to her slowly and clearly like this. As a result, her ability in this area is very poor and she needs more training.

"Is it really okay? Kyousuke-kun?"

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

"Speak slowly, Glass. It's hard to speak in a hurry. 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 very clearly.

"OK!"

Nishimiya Glass smiled happily.

Before 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 is 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 still needs to take care of my sister and me's lives and learn sign language, so she doesn't have much time."

"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 Kyosuke was slightly silent. She was worthy of being a heroine, but her expression should have been different.

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

"What's the matter? I will definitely help!"

"I hope you can learn to talk to me."

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