Chapter 5: The Woman Named Shinagawa Mirei

After school. I was about to go home right away since I had a day off from club activities for the first time in a while, but my homeroom teacher, Asamura Mai, called me over.

“Remedial class…?”

“Yes.”

I repeated the familiar word, but I couldn’t accept it.

“Can I go home?”

“No.”

I felt like I had been dropped into the depths of despair. Sensei remained expressionless as she spoke to me calmly.

“I have a meeting, so I’ll come check on you in an hour. Finish this by then. I’ve reserved Room 2 for remedial classes. See you.”

She handed me three English worksheets carelessly and then left the classroom.

Asamura Mai, my homeroom teacher, is an English teacher. Her feature is that she gives ordinary lessons without any particular strengths or weaknesses. I can’t get good grades just by attending her classes (I usually fall asleep), and I got a failing grade on the last midterm exam.

“What should I do…”

I had two choices in my head: escape or escape.

Fortunately, Sensei is going to a staff meeting now. There’s no one to stop me from escaping. Okay, let’s escape. Yeah. I’ll go home and play games. Kensuke, the basketball maniac, went to practice on his own, so he’s not around. I don’t have any other friends to play with, so I want to enjoy my time alone today.

I happily ran out of the classroom.

After all, it’s Sensei’s fault for suddenly scheduling a remedial class. I have my own plans. I’ll take the remedial class another time. Maybe, probably.

“I figured you’d do that.”

The moment I left the classroom, I felt a terrifying chill from behind. I felt a cold, sharp gaze on my back.

“…Yeah.”

I turned around, and Asamura Mai-sensei was glaring at me. I desperately tried to come up with an excuse in my head.

No, it’s no use. She sees right through me.

“…”

I received a few seconds of silent pressure, then straightened my clothes and posture.

I looked her straight in the eye and bowed my head.

“I’m sorry.”

“And?”

“I’ll take the remedial class.”

“Okay.”

I’m sure today is a bad day.

Convinced of that, I gave up and headed to the remedial room alone.

* * * * *

“Adverbial usage…? Adjectival usage…?”

I’m neither good nor bad at English. …At least, that’s what I think. My worst subject is math, and I’m better at humanities subjects than science subjects. I got such a bad score on the last midterm exam because the study range was different. That’s how I interpret it. If it hadn’t been for that, I could have avoided a failing grade. It was an accident.

“…”

Of course, I don’t understand everything. In fact, I’m stuck on grammar right now. I don’t remember something like this. I don’t understand the difficult words at all. I’ve seen them before, but I can’t remember their meanings.

I twirl my pen, my eraser, and my pencil case.

“This is bad, nothing’s coming on my head.”

On my desk are writing utensils and three worksheets.

I don’t have any textbooks or grammar books. Without them, I couldn’t solve half the problems. I was too naive.

English is tough…

If I don’t have any textbooks, I’ll get scolded by Asamura-sensei. No, she’ll probably just be disappointed in me. In any case, not having textbooks is a problem. What should I do? I don’t have time to go home. Sensei will be here in about 30 minutes.

“…”

What about the library? They apparently have a variety of teaching materials there. I think the class president mentioned that. I’ve never used it, but I’m sure I can borrow it. I’ll just borrow it for today. I left the remedial room and headed for the library.

* * * * *

The library is open after school. Of course, you can borrow books, but you can also study in the library. There’s a “Learning Space,” which is mainly used by third-year students, or exam students. Red books and blue books, university entrance exam materials, are displayed there.

“Let’s see… where are the English materials?”

There were almost no students in the library. The air conditioning was working well, and it was so comfortable I wanted to live there.

I’m not interested in pocket books, so I looked for an English-Japanese dictionary and a Japanese-English dictionary in the dictionary corner near the entrance. I don’t expect to find the English vocabulary book that each student is given, so I’ll make do with the dictionary.

“Oh? Nanase-kun”

I turned around, and there was the class president, Shinagawa Mirei. She was holding a stack of heavy-looking books, her thin arms shaking.

“Wow… that looks tough. But why are you here? You’re not a library committee member, are you?”

I took half of the books she was holding. It wasn’t that heavy, just half.

“Oh, sorry. Thanks. Actually, the student on duty today had something to do and left. She’s my friend, and she seemed troubled, so I offered to take her place. Well, I kind of got pushed into it.”

The class president showed a slightly troubled expression while smiling.

She must hate it, but she’s trying to do her job seriously. It’s pitiful, but it also makes her look cute.

I always rely on her, so I can’t just leave her.

“You should say no when you don’t like something.”

“Huh?”

Kind people get the short end of the stick. Good people get the short end of the stick.

I think that’s the truth. I, who is always helped by the class president, shouldn’t be saying this, but it’s painful to see her struggling.

“Let’s finish this together. We can finish it quickly if we do it together.”

“No, that’s bad! I offered to do it, so I should.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s just a favor.”

In the end, the work was finished in about 15 minutes. It was a simple job of putting returned books back on the shelves, but it was probably a tough physical labor for one girl. I could have charged her for it.

I wiped the sweat that had formed on my forehead, and loosened my tie to let the air conditioning cool my body.

“Um… Oh, I found it! Nanase-kun!”

The class president was waving at me with a smile from a distance.

Even from a distance, I could tell she was beautiful. The combination of a pure black-haired beauty and the library was eye-catching, I thought, as I approached her.

“Here you go. The dictionary can only be borrowed for one day, so please return it tomorrow.”

“Thank you so much. Now I can get through the remedial class.”

It was already 6 p.m. when I finally borrowed the dictionary. The meeting must be over by now. I have to get back quickly.

However, when I tried to take the dictionary, the class president pulled the book back and wouldn’t let go.

“Um, class president?”

The class president didn’t say anything, her face downcast.

But she held the book tightly and wouldn’t let go.

“Your sweat is dripping.”

“Huh?”

The distance between the class president and me suddenly narrowed. We were so close that our lips were about to touch.

The book I was holding fell to the ground. It fell with a thud at our feet, but neither of us cared.

The class president took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from my neck. Then, she put her hand around my neck.
