"I am coming."

Makoto Hojo pushed open the door of the antique department and looked inside. A pretty girl was leaning against the table, playing with a buckle made of probably jadeite in her hand.

‘Bun?’

Makoto Hojo looked at the girl with two meatballs on her little head, which looked particularly playful and cute. He remembered that when he first met, my wife Arashi came with a ponytail.

Girls won't change their hairstyle frequently, right?

"Hojo, you are here...stop!"

My wife Arashi looked up at Makoto Hojo who was standing at the door. Before she could smile on her delicate face, her expression instantly changed to surprise.

"ah?"

Makoto Hojo was stunned for a moment.

"you……"

My wife Arashi stood up, circled around Hojo Makoto with a look of suspicion, and wrinkled her little nose and said, "What's wrong with you!"

Makoto Hojo's lips twitched and said, "My wife, I'm here to study. Please don't discuss matters that have nothing to do with study."

"Why did your value soar in just two days?"

My wife Lan asked excitedly: "The stock price of ordinary small companies has skyrocketed. The most common situation is that they sell themselves to a large group and accept financing. Hojo you..."

Makoto Hojo's eyelids twitched!

He almost forgot.

My wife Lan is a "superpower"!

He got such a big gain yesterday. In my wife Lan's eyes, he should be full of money now, right?

"Hojo, you're going to be a cowherd, right?" My wife Arashi said confidently.

‘It seems to be that to some extent.’

Makoto Hojo thinks my wife Arashi is quite accurate.

What he did yesterday was similar to that of a Cowherd, and he won the favor of a woman and then exchanged for rewards.

"You can understand this way."

Makoto Hojo does not intend to refute.

The worse his character is, the lower the chances that my wife Lan will fall in love with him. He should do as much as this misunderstanding comes.

"What a hard-working kid."

My wife Lan nodded in praise.

‘Is it worthy of praise to be a cowherd?!’

Makoto Hojo said speechlessly: "You should use a tone of contempt at this time, right?"

"indeed."

My wife Lan nodded with a smile and said, "Selling your body can only make your valuation increase in a short period of time, but it is just an inflated level. Your behavior is actually devalued. The value of dignity is immeasurable. Frivolous people will not receive respect from others and their value will plummet, but...

Hojo, you can’t use any other way to make huge profits except for your face. You can only do this if you are incompetent, I can understand.”

"Then in order to increase our value, let's learn quickly. Knowledge changes destiny."

Makoto Hojo didn't want to argue with my wife, so he walked to the table, took out the textbook, and said, "I have lost a lot of homework for various reasons before, and I need your assistance from my wife and classmates."

"oh?"

My wife Arashi said with a bright smile: "Hojo, you are very enlightened, not bad. Well... What do you think of the principal's speech in the auditorium every semester when the school starts?"

“Stir and long.”

Hojo Masa said truthfully.

He really couldn't understand my wife Lan's brain circuit. Was he just talking about studying? Why did he talk about the principal's preaching?

"I think this routine behavior from childhood to adulthood is very meaningful...except for the content of the principal's speech."

My wife Lan said seriously: "I want to give you a lecture now."

"Give me aside..."

Makoto Hojo is powerless to complain.

"I said it was a very meaningful act."

My wife Lan smiled and said, "Plato said that a good start is half the success. I want you to be a 'super start' at the starting point like a racing athlete."

"I don't know how to be harsh."

Makoto Hojo nodded. Although he was still confused when he heard it, he actually began to think what my wife Arashi said made sense.

This guy doesn't sell insurance, it's a waste of talent.

"I said that the learning goal I set for you is the second grade, right?"

My wife Lan said seriously: "Do you think this kind of small goal is enough?"

"not enough!"

Makoto Hojo shook his head and said, "My goal is to be the first in the grade."

"Puff!"

My wife Lan suddenly laughed out loud and said jokingly: "You have set a goal that is more difficult than being admitted to the University of Tokyo."

After mocking her, she said, "You still can't understand what I said. Although small goals can make people have the desire to work hard, this is not enough.

Kant once said that a life without a goal is like sailing without a compass.

The goal I want you to set is not a short-term plan for the first grade, but your ideal in life. This ideal must be lofty.

"The Art of War" states: "If you want to get it, you must seek it. If you want to get it, you must seek it."

A person without long-term and huge ideals cannot succeed.”

Makoto Hojo patiently listened to my wife Arashi's long speech, thought for a while, blinked and said, "Is it like the goal of 'what kind of person I want to be when I was a child?"

"near!"

My wife Lan smiled and said, "A wonderful novel must have something called "main line" that connects all the plots, which are often the protagonist's goal. Zhuge Liang also said, 'Ambition should be high'. Next, set a grand main line for his life."

"The main line of life?"

Makoto Hojo nodded in understanding. He felt that my wife Arashi was very talented as a teacher. The various references in the theory just now showed that her profound knowledge was worthy of being a terrible existence with a nine-point intelligence.

He suddenly admired my wife Lan.

"My wife classmate has considered the idea of ​​rushing the principal off the podium at the opening ceremony of next semester and giving a speech?"

"A good proposal." My wife Lan actually agreed.

"But no nonsense, I want to hear your answer, tell me your goal."

"That……"

Hojo Makoto pondered without saying a word. After thinking about it carefully, he found that he had no particularly long-term goals!

If you insist on saying it seems...it is only the empty idea of ​​becoming a capitalist.

"I want to get into the University of Tokyo?"

Hojo Makoto's tentative way.

"idiot!"

My wife Lan scolded mercilessly: "Isn't it the most basic thing to get into a prestigious school? Just a three-year small goal, put in the 'main line of life', is just a turning point. What I want you to set is the survival philosophy as a human being!"

‘You scold me again!’

Makoto Hojo pursed his lips and asked, "What is your life philosophy in my wife classmate?"

"Am I?"

My wife Lan showed a proud smile, turned around, and took the bronze sword hanging from the wall behind.

Seeing this, Hojo Makoto's eyelids jumped. When he first saw my wife Arashi, the sword was only 0.01 cm from his throat!

"Do you know the intention of the Antiques Department?"

My wife Lan raised the bronze sword in her hand,

"I would like to hear the details." said Hojo Makoto.

"I actually have no interest in antiques." My wife Lan suddenly said.

Makoto Hojo: "..." Teacher Ma should not do this.

"Antiques are something that appreciates every minute and every second over time."

My wife Lan's lips raised and her smile gradually became arrogant. She said proudly: "Everyone will die. I want to create infinite value in my life. Even after I die, I will continue to appreciate. I want to become an antique!"

When she said this, the spring wind blew open the curtains, and the afternoon sun shone on her beautiful face. The light was dazzling and soft, approaching the dusk, engraved her energetic smile in Hojo Makoto's mind, shining brightly.

For a moment, Sei Hojo forgot to complain about what the hell was that he became an antique.
