Studies And Circumstances.

“Wow. I didn’t know such a thing happened.”

“What is it, Yuuga? you met her because of your part-time job, right?”

After each of them settled down to introduce themselves, I explained to them about my relationship with Shizuki, using the information I had thought of beforehand.

Of course, I didn’t tell them that Shizuki has a different character at home and at school, or any other extraneous information.

I also decided to keep quiet about the fact that I had …come into her room several times.

What I need to do is to make sure that people don’t feel uncomfortable even if Shizuki and I are reasonably close.

We don’t need to talk about anything more than that.

“That’s what I’m saying, so please keep that in mind from now on.”

“Nice to meet you both again.”

Shizuki bowed his head with a modest expression.

Minai and Haruomi clapped their hands, looking rather pleased with the results.

“So you’re friends with me from today, too! Let’s talk at school too!”

“Talk to me too, Shizuki-san.”

“Yes! Of course!”

The three normies seemed to be having fun.

Well, normally speaking, these two seem to be a better match for the flashy Shizuki than I am.

I’m not sure about the sober Shizuki, though.

Now that we’ve passed the barrier, it’s time to get started.

“Oh, Yuuga’s already got his textbook out.”

“Ehh…., let’s talk some more!”

“That’s right, Yuga. Now that Shizuki-san is here, let’s cherish our interactions more.”

“Do what you want.”

It’s not like I didn’t knew that they won’t adjust according to me.

In fact, it would be more convenient if I could study alone.

“Good grief. You are still the same old, Yuuga.”

“Well then, …me too.”

After saying that, Shizuki also started to spread out her own studying materials on the table.

As expected of Shizuki, she is very serious in heart.

Half of the time, a good or bad grade is determined by whether or not you study properly.

If Haruomi and Minai increase there study time, they will be able to improve there grades.

“Huh, okay…”

“….Yeah.”

They seemed to have given up at last, and in a slow motion took out their notebooks and textbooks.

However, the space of the desk is very limited.

It might have been a good idea to buy a large table separate from the study desk.

Shizuki on my right, Minai across from me, and Haruomi on my left.

But still, it’s a strange sight, isn’t it?

I can’t believe there are so many people in my room.

With a strange feeling of deep emotion, I started reading the test section of my Japanese history textbook from the beginning.

◆　◆　◆

“I Can’tttt!!!!”

“…Shut up!”

Shizuki looks astonished and Minami looks like she’s pulled by Haruomi, who shouts unreservedly.

As always, I wonder if it can be a little quieter.

“I have no idea! What the hell is a quadratic function anyway? What’s the meaning of this?”

“There is no meaning. No, there is, but you don’t need to think about it now. As long as you understand what it is and what to do with it, you can get the marks.”

“I can’t understand something that doesn’t make sense!”

“You can. You can do it. If you can’t, read the textbook until it makes sense.”

“Geez!”

Haruomi exaggeratedly held his head and slumped down on the desk.

It’s a small space, and the degree of crampedness goes up at once.

As expected, Haruomi was stuck in the quadratic function.

I’ve known this guy since the high school entrance exam period.

I have a pretty good idea what kind of things he gets stuck on and how.

Haruomi is a typical humanities person.

Unlike the humanities, which he just can’t do because he’s too lazy, he is extremely weak in mathematics.

In particular, his mind doesn’t seem to mesh well with number 1, and he had a hard time with factoring in the first semester. It’s mainly me who helped him.

“It’s over ….I’ll get a red score this time….”

“If you make sure you get the basic problems, you can get a little below average. Don’t give up.”

“I can’t do it!”

Huh.

Once this happens, Haruomi’s refusal must be removed.

It would take some time to do so, so it would probably not be possible today.

If that’s the case, get your head out of the clouds once you’re in a rote subject. Refresh your mind, and maybe it will make sense the next time you look at it.”

“O-okay…”

“We’ll do it again tomorrow, so don’t panic. If you can’t make it, I’ll give you one more day.”

“Uwaa…. Thank you, Yuuga-chi….”

“You, don’t call me that.”

“Yuuga-chiiiiii.” Haruomi leaned over me, making a disgusting noise.

It’s winter and he’s a pain in the ass, and sweaty.

At that time, I suddenly felt a gaze from the front and turned my head towards it.

When I looked, I saw Minai looking at me with a look of admiration.

“What is it?”

“Well… Yuuga-chi is very kind. I thought you would be very dry and boring.”

Unusually, there was no sense of playfulness in Minai’s tone.

This is why I feel like she is being rude to me.

“Yuuga is a tsundere after all.”

“Yeah, that’s exactly how it is.”

“It’s not like that. If you have to take extra classes, I’ll have to teach again anyway. I’m just trying to avoid the worst case scenario.”

“You are indeed tsundere after all.”

“No.”

I’m not dere.

More importantly, I’m not tsundere.

I’m normal.

“It’s fine, Hasumi-kun! I thought you were nice too..!”

“See! Shizuki-chan also belives that!”

“….Hmm”

I don’t know if it was because my eyes met Shizuki’s, but I felt irresistibly embarrassed and involuntarily looked down at my textbook.

I’m somewhat out of sorts.

By the way, Shizuki seemed to be working on old texts with Minai.

Sometimes she would teach Minai the modern translation, and they would laugh happily.

I wasn’t that worried about her, but I’m glad to see that she seems to be getting used to it.

Just when I thought so.

“I’m bored of old texts!

“Wow! Y-You surprised me…”

Shizuki’s shoulders shook with fright at the sudden shout of Minai

No wonder.

I almost gave her a reflexive chop myself.

“The most dangerous is English, so I’ll take that!”

“Don’t bother to report it, just keep quiet.

“Don’t say such a lonely thing. Yuuga, teach me English.”

“….Tell me exactly what you don’t understand.”

“All of it! Hey, come here for now! I’ll switch seats with Semba-kun!”

At the urging of Minai, who tapped the table, Haruomi and I switched places.

Now I have Minai on my left and Shizuki across from me.

“How can I improve my grades?”

“That’s a bit vague, ….Well, if you just want to raise your test score, there is a simple trick.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah. Reading is pretty easy, aside from grammar.”

“While saying this, I flipped through Minai’s textbook.”

I mean, this girl’s textbook is really clean…
There’s no writing in it, no sign of study.

“These two long sentences are on the test this time, so you have to memorize all the Japanese translations here.”

“What’s that trick?”

“If you know the meaning of the sentence, you can guess the meaning of each word. It’s easier to memorize Japanese than English, because you know what you’re going to get. so it’s more reliable and efficient.”

“Oh, wow! That sounds like cheating, but it’s great!

“It’s just a trick to get through the test. If you want to overcome English, you have to understand grammar and learn vocabulary.”

“As long as you can get through it, you’re good to go!”

Minai said cheerfully.
Well, if she says so, I guess it’s okay.
I’m sure it won’t work in the performance tests and exams.

“Hmm, we still have a lot of work to do, Yuuga-chi-private tution.”

“Don’t decide on your own.”

“But you’re going to do it with Semba-kun anyway, right? You don’t mind if I join you!”

“I have nothing to teach you.”

“Master!”

Ahaha. She laughed and poked my cheek with her finger.
It’s just plain annoying.

“Wow, you look disgusted. You’re so cute, Yuga-chan.”

“Hurry up and study.”

“Yes.”

Minai raised her hand and went back to her textbook.

She is an easy-going person, isn’t she?

It was at this time that my eyes suddenly met with Shizuki, who was sitting in front of me.

But Shizuki quickly turned her face away and seemed to be puffing up with a look of disapproval on her face.

I wondered if I had done something to upset her.

I had no idea, but I was feeling strangely impatient.
