Ameko is a very competent tour guide. Especially after eating Zhang Heng's thick fish grill, it set her own little universe on fire. She kept dragging someone around until around nine o'clock in the evening before sending the latter back to school with unsatisfied feelings. After that, She took the tram back to her apartment.
Due to the high land prices in Tokyo, universities rarely have dormitories, so most students have to rent out apartments. Although Ameko's home is local, but because it is far from the school, she also chooses to share a room with her classmates nearby.
However, the school is good for exchange students. There is an international exchange hall that provides dormitories for students from various countries, and it is also a single room.
Zhang Heng found his house number on his phone and opened the door with his key.
The area inside is not large, about fifteen square meters.
There is a bed, cabinets, desk, air conditioning, and a full bathroom.
Zhang Heng went to take a shower first. He found some clean changes of clothes in the closet. There was also half a pack of biscuits, a bank card, a notebook and some other copies on the table, as if he really just moved in today. Same as the exchange students.
Zhang Heng picked up the notebook and saw that there were consumption records on it, which were exactly the same as his handwriting. There was also a class schedule on the second page, and there was only one course on it, which was Japanese.
Under normal circumstances, the school will not arrange pure language courses for exchange students.
Generally speaking, when recruiting exchange students, the school will directly indicate the corresponding Japanese language requirements. Of course, there are also cases where it is not required. The latter is mostly because the major is taught entirely in English.
This should be an implicit benefit given to players by the dungeon, and it can be regarded as a way out for players who do not speak Japanese.
But it is still an impossible task to learn spoken English in just sixty days. For now, if you want to communicate with people, it is more reliable to rely on the humanoid translator Ameko.
Just as he was thinking about it, he received a text message from the latter, "Zhang Sang, I'm home safely. It's true. Taozi went to the toilet to drink water secretly while I was away, and left footprints everywhere."
Ameko talked to Zhang Heng about Tao Zi, a Japanese garden cat she raised. Zhang Heng replied casually, "It's better to stew it."
Σ(⊙▽⊙“a, Ameko directly sent a surprised emoticon.
"Just kidding, by the way, Ameko, do you know where the Postal Savings Bank closest to the school is?" Zhang Heng typed. He turned his notebook to the third page. There were several to-do items on it, one of which was to handle it. Bank card, future monthly accommodation fees will be deducted directly from the card.
"Of course, I'll take you there tomorrow. If you have anything else you don't understand, you can ask me. I'm familiar with the area." Ameko is still as enthusiastic as ever.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Zhang Heng and the girl said good night to each other, then he searched for information online for a while, turned off the light and went to bed, and just spent his first night in a foreign country.
…………
Nothing happened all night. The next morning, Zhang Heng went to a language class. When he first started learning Japanese, it was relatively simple, just learning the fifty-syllable diagram. The main test was memory. In the afternoon, he and Ameko went to apply for a bank card. , it will take about a week to receive it. After leaving the bank gate, Zhang Heng asked the girl, "If I want to work part-time, is there any place you can recommend?"
The 30,000 yen he had was completely free of charge. The previous estimate of two months was too optimistic. The accommodation fee at the International Hall alone was 20,000 yen per month. Fortunately, the first month had been paid. After that, but considering that he would stay here for nearly 14 months, he had to find a way to make some money first.
Zhang Heng doesn't know how other players solve their economic problems. Compared with some high-risk solutions, he personally prefers the option of working. Although the money is not so fast, it makes it easier for him to get familiar with and integrate into the city.
"Well, most of us work in restaurants, supermarkets or convenience stores, but these places have Japanese language requirements."
Ameko thought for a while, "Or do you have any special skills?"
"Specialties?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows, "Does archery and piano count?"
"Eh? Archery and piano, that's awesome. In this case, you can work in a kyu dojo or a Western restaurant. Well, there are differences between Japanese kyudo and simple archery. It emphasizes spiritual cultivation. Also, You can't avoid interacting with people in a bow dojo, so it seems like it would be better for you to go to a Western restaurant to play the piano."
Ameko very carefully helped Zhang Heng analyze the pros and cons of each choice, and the girl was quite capable of execution. After that, she took Zhang Heng to an Italian restaurant to apply for a job, but unfortunately there was already a piano player there. The two went to the Spanish restaurant and French restaurant next door... In the end, it was a Western restaurant opened by a Tokyo local. After hearing Zhang Heng's performance, he was willing to give him a chance, but the boss was still worried about Zhang Heng's inability to speak Japanese. concern.
Ameko pointed to the recruitment sign outside the store and said, "You are still short of waiters here, aren't you? I worked at Routo Ohno before. How about this? I also work here. If there is a language problem, I can help him translate." "
"That's no problem." The boss nodded, "The hourly wage is 1,200 yen, which is the limit. I work three days a week, 4 to 5 hours, during the day and at night. You can choose the days when you don't have classes. , I will try my best to line you up together.”
"Excuse me." Ameko bowed.
After leaving the door, Zhang Heng realized what the two of them had just talked about. Seeing that he was about to speak, Ameko was the first to say, "We had a lot of fun shopping together last night. Everyone is usually busy with their own things, and few people are willing to stop and listen to others. My thoughts, Zhang Sang... is indeed a very gentle person, and it's not entirely because of you. I just quit my last job, and I originally planned to find another one in the near future. The environment and hourly wage here are both good. Besides, it will be safer with you here, right?"
Ameko showed his little fangs again.
Is this the benefit of favorability? Zhang Heng didn't say anything after hearing this. Seeing that it was already evening, he invited Ameko to have dinner at a nearby restaurant, and the two chatted about school for a while.
At this moment, a spray-painted Subaru BRZ and a green Volkswagen Golf R parked in front of the restaurant, and a few boys and girls with colorfully dyed hair walked out. One of them tied a headscarf. As soon as the guy entered the store, he yelled at the boss to bring out the beer.
Judging from the looks of many of them, they may have had a drink before, and they were all a bit drunk. Ameko lowered his voice and said, "Don't keep staring at them. Those guys are bosozokus nearby, and there seem to be some among them." Many students in our school hang out with some idle and ignorant hooligans all day long, doing stupid things all day long."
