Chapter: 1598

After hearing Naoko's respectful address, Ito Yohei let out a deep sigh and said, "Go ahead, Naoko. Dad respects your decision to chase after your own heart without regrets. Dad will be waiting for you in Tokyo."

Naoko Ito smiled sweetly and said, "Onii-chan, if I get seriously injured this time, I don't want to go back to Tokyo. I want to go to Kyoto to recover instead; I love the environment there so much more than Tokyo."

Tokyo is Japan's capital and a globalized metropolis with high-rise buildings, cars, and modern atmosphere.

While Kyoto is Japan's ancient capital, with numerous historical landmarks dating back hundreds or even thousands of years, and relatively well-preserved, the modern atmosphere is not as strong, the environment is quiet and pleasant, and the climate is suitable.

Naoko Ito grew up in a old house belonging to the Ito family in Kyoto during her childhood, but when she was 14, she moved with her family to Tokyo. However, Kyoto remains the only hometown in her heart.

Young people all like to chase after fashion trends.

If we talk about fashion levels, Japan is definitely not inferior to China.

In fact, Japan's fashion level is higher than China's.

That's why there are Harajuku and Japanese-style haircuts, makeup, and beauty for girls.

It can be said that Japanese girls as a whole have very high fashion standards. They love Tokyo, which is like a fashion metropolis.

But Naoko Ito is an exception.

She has never liked fashionable things.

On the contrary, she has always been particularly fond of classical cultures.

For instance, she likes to study tea art, ancient Chinese language, ancient poetry, and even old-style architecture and clothing.

So, Kyoto city has always matched her temperament perfectly.

She also knows that today's competition is a gamble, with multiple possibilities of failure, but not quite impossible to lose one's life, and it's likely to escape the fate of being gravely injured,

so she hopes to be able to return to Kyoto for treatment after getting hurt.

Taro Ito heard her words, his face filled with love, without hesitation, and said, "No problem! I'll have someone clear out our estate in Kyoto right away!"

"It's great!" Naoko Ito was overjoyed, saying excitedly, "I've always wanted to spend some time living in Kyoto, but I never had the opportunity, so this time I can make it happen."

After that, she added, "Oh, and by the way, Oudou-san, you'll also need to give my school a visit."

"Okay!" Taro Ito nodded repeatedly: "I've got all these taken care of. Don't worry about anything, just go participate in the competition without any distractions!"

Taro Ito Naoko bowed again.

9:20 PM.

The competition organizer notified the contestants to take the stage.

This time's final round has received too much attention, with all national TV channels broadcasting live from the scene, and numerous video websites simulcasting online. So, Taro left the backstage area early and took his seat alone at the competition venue, facing away from the cameras. JrNovels.com
