In the island country, after the final exams, classes will continue for a period of time.

Students who don't have exams and just wait for their report cards and holidays treat their daily school as a class reunion.

In the past few days, Toru Watanabe, Osamu Kunii, and Keisuke Saito have played paper backgammon in the classroom.

Backgammon was given to Kazumai Ikeda magazine, and the girls didn't play with it, so they gave it to them.

"Four, four." Osamu Kunii prayed while shaking the dice in his hand.

While waiting, Toru Watanabe's phone vibrate.

Kamikawa has no restrictions on mobile phones except for classes, but when grades drop, the second thing in the interview is to tell you tactfully:

How about trying to get away from your phone for a while?

By the way, the first thing - OOO cram school is good, OOO classmates, do you want to think about it?

The above is what Toru Watanabe heard, and the authenticity of the source is not guaranteed.

Toru Watanabe was about to explain when a voice called out of the back door.

"Watanabe-san, come out for a moment." The voice is cold and pleasant.

"Nope."

Toru Watanabe deleted the chat history on his mobile phone.

A trace of doubt flashed on Rin's face, which was loved by everyone.

"I've got something to look for you."

"I'll talk about it after school if I have something to do."

Rin Kiyono became impatient, and his powerful gaze shot like a sharp arrow:

"Come out."

"Yes, Minister." Toru Watanabe got up and walked over.

Behind him, Keisuke Saito and Osamu Kunii looked at him with sympathetic eyes.

Three steps away from Rin Kiyono, Toru Watanabe stopped: "What's the matter?" If it's a confession, allow me to refuse. ”

Looking at his appearance, Rin Kiyono stared at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"You've done something I'm sorry for?" She asked.

"What do you mean I'm sorry for you?"

"Speak ill of me?"

"Isn't there something?"

Rin Kiyono glared at him dissatisfied, and said in a cold voice, "Go back and tell Kujo-san, it's okay to wear civilian clothes at tomorrow's party." ”

After the exam, Miki Kujou completely disappeared from the campus.

In the past few days, Toru Watanabe has been going to Chiyoda, and when she lies in bed at night, she is busy.

He even wondered if Miki Kujou was already dealing with next year's affairs?

"What kind of clothes to wear, why do you let this eldest lady say it herself?" Toru Watanabe was puzzled.

"You're not the only one who wants our relationship to be better." A hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of Kiyono Rin's mouth, and then he said lightly: "But now that I have you, I don't have to talk to her anymore." ”

Watanabe nodded and signaled that he understood.

He suddenly remembered a possibility and casually asked:

"So, if one of you and Kujou Miki is a boy, aren't you going to get married?"

For the first time, Rin Kiyono showed a disgusting expression.

Even so, it's very cute!

It's so cute, it's like an arrogant penguin, walking at your feet with arrogant steps, and pecking at your feet.

Then, the penguin still looks up at you with a 'are you afraid' look.

The Rin Kiyono in front of him is so cute.

"Even if it's a man and a woman, we can't get married."

"Why?"

"If you have time to say bad things about me, why don't you use your brain more?" Rin Kiyono's voice suddenly turned cold, "Don't keep thinking about a girl's legs all day long." ”

After saying this, the penguin Kiyono lifted the long hair on his shoulders and turned away in a hurry.

“...... I just want to think about it for two hours a day. Toru Watanabe explained to her back, who was not far away.

This is the only thing that must be explained.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Rin Kiyono suddenly seems to be a little unable to walk, and then sped up the pace of leaving.

In such a joyful atmosphere, inadvertently, the time came to December 24th.

Christmas Eve, the "Holy Night" in the mouth of girls, the last day before the winter vacation.

Koizumi Kina took the report card and stood on the podium.

In private, she is very friendly and treats her students like a sister, but once she stands in that position, she has a beautiful goose egg face, and she will deliberately put on a serious expression, and her voice will carry the majesty of a teacher.

Like now.

"Another year is about to pass, students, the future is not out of reach, the three years of high school will pass in the blink of an eye."

"There is only the third semester left in the first year of high school, and everyone must think about the grouping of arts and sciences as soon as possible."

She looked around, and the classroom was silent.

Someone straightened their backs and looked at her;

Someone lowered their head and didn't know what they were thinking;

There are also people who have already packed their things, just waiting to get their report cards, stuff them in their school bags, and hurry to play.

"In this final exam, students who want to go to liberal arts should take a good look at their liberal arts results, and those who want to go to science should also look at their science results, and then think carefully about what to do during the winter vacation?"

"Sometimes interest is the best teacher, but it is also a choice to go along with your talents."

"Everyone is not small, and they should understand the truth that one choice can change life."

"Also, whether you want to go to liberal arts or science, the deviation value of this exam is below 65 in the country......"

Koizumi Kina's gaze swept over some people.

After a brief pause, she continued: "You've dropped out of the top 5 percent in the country. ”

"Grades can't determine life, but it can't be an obstacle to everyone's life."

"Let's start handing out transcripts, and the students who call their names come up to get them."

"Rina Nakayama!"

"Yes!"

"Tamura in front of the house!"

"Yes!"

"Kazumi Ikeda!"

"Yes!"

......

"Toru Watanabe!"

"Yes!"

Toru Watanabe's first year in Kamigawa ended like this.

******

Kyoto, Kita-Uji.

After school, after the cleaning.

In the cheerful atmosphere at the beginning of the winter vacation, there are people sitting in the classroom, sighing at the report card, and even girls crying.

Although she felt a little sorry for this classmate, Kumiko was so happy that she wanted to sing.

"Kumiko, did you do well in the exam this time?" In the hallway to the wind club, Rina asked, tilting her head.

"Huh? Did I tell you about Reina? ”

"You're humming."

Kumiko covered her mouth and glared at her: "I've already sung it?" ”

Rina looked at her and laughed, "How did you do in the exam?" ”

"It's not as good as you." As she spoke, Kumiko couldn't restrain the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Isn't that a matter of course?" Rina gave her a blank look, "When I was studying, Kumiko, what are you thinking about yourself?" ”

"I—I'm also studying!"

"Really?"

"Oops, it's just that you've not studied as long as Rina." To interrupt the topic, Kumiko took out her transcript from her bag.

Rina took it directly, and there was no crease in the transcript.

"Chinese..... Mathematics, mathematics has made great progress. Rina said in surprise.

"The deviation is only 64."

"The last time you took a mock test, I remember it was only 49, right?"

“49.2！ 0.2 can also throw off dozens of people! ”

“...... Don't know what you're holding onto. Rina sighed, "Math, and your upper bass horn, are all the credit of your two books?" ”

Because Kumiko was reading two notebooks all day long, and then the technique of getting on the bass horn improved by leaps and bounds, and in mathematics, she began to lecture others, and she refused to show others, so some classmates who liked it called these two notebooks 'the half-blood prince'.

This title has spread unconsciously.

Just when I received my report card, the homeroom teacher, who was in a good mood, also teased Kumiko with this topic.

"It's not all, occasionally I ask the half-blood prince himself directly."

The half-blood prince, Toru Watanabe - I was completely unaware.

Kumiko can imagine that after telling him this title, with Toru Watanabe's personality, she will definitely say:

Half-blood prince? Who are you looking down on? Voldemort, at least, right?

The thought of his stinky fart makes Kumiko want to laugh.

"But your English ......" Rina looked at the deviation of 56.

"I've already decided not to go to a university where I want to go to English!"

"Don't you want to be an English teacher?"

"I find that I like math more!"

"It's strange to believe you, during the midterm exam, I still remember that you said that you didn't go to the university of mathematics."

A little embarrassed to be poked by Reina, Kumiko scratched her cheeks with her fingers and said:

"Then I can only ask the half-blood prince again, and the next time I see him, ask him for another English notebook. By the way, Reina, how is your English? ”

Rina is preparing to study at a music university abroad.

"Give." Rina pulls out her report card.

"National deviation of 72 for all subjects? It's amazing! English Deviation Value...... 79.4？！ Kumiko was surprised and even stopped.

Rina paused and said seriously, "English is the basis for me to pursue music abroad, so of course I have to take it seriously. ”

"79.4, when am I going to go to 70...... By the way, 79.4 ranks first in the country? ”

"I don't know."

"Is it okay to look it up?" Kumiko took out her phone.

Rina nodded: "Kumiko's words, yes." ”

Being said so by Reina, Kumiko was in a better mood.

You can check the individual results of the national examination on the Internet, and you can see the scores, deviation values, rankings, and national average scores.

"No. 2396, that's amazing!"

"If you continue to maintain this level and go to a university in Tokyo for another year, you should have no problem going abroad."

"No problem!" Kumiko has more confidence than Rina herself.

Rina stared at Kumiko, and suddenly reached out and pulled a piece of hair that Kumiko had held in her mouth because of excitement behind her ear.

At this moment, Kumiko wanted to reach out and press Reina's hand on her face.

To restrain this strange impulse, she spoke:

"Would you like to ask that guy's grades?"

"The half-blood prince?"

As soon as she heard this stupid title, Kumiko wanted to laugh: "Yes, half-blood prince." ”

"Then ask as you go." Rina said.

"Okay."

The reply to the message was very fast.

After only a few steps, Kumiko stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Rina looked at him quizzically.

"That guy seems to have failed the test."

"Really?" Rina laughed, pulling her hair behind her ears.

Kumiko didn't pay attention to her friend's expression, and began to move again, typing quickly on her phone.

Waiting for Toru Watanabe to send the report card, she was ready to complain - for example, what kind of regression are you, you are better than the first in our school, and it is no problem to enter Tokyo University!

Without waiting for the other party to refuse, Jiumiko sent her results over.

'No matter how miserable it is, can I still have my English miserable?' She thought to herself.

Ten seconds later, a picture was sent from the other side.

This image is followed by an emoji of a white-faced geisha - the geisha covers her face with her hands and the caption is: Ah, what an embarrassment!

"This guy!" Kumiko scolded hatefully.

"What's wrong?" Rina asked.

"Look!" Kumiko gave her her the phone.

Rina opened the picture, and the column in the order was particularly conspicuous, all in the format of '1449951'.

"He still uses mine for this meme!" Kumiko said unwillingly on the side.

"It's not a matter of a day or two that this guy is annoying." Rina returns the phone to Kumiko.

Kumiko took the phone, looked at the pompous emoji of 'ah, I'm so embarrassed', and said with some hesitation:

"Reina."

"Huh?"

"You say, is someone like Watanabe a special existence?"

"It doesn't count."

"Doesn't count?" Kumiko looked at Rina suspiciously.

"Hmm." Rina changed the box with the trumpet in her hand to another hand, "A special person is the determination to be the best and the best, the most valuable and indispensable person in the group......"

"Then he doesn't count? The results are first in the country, and the oboe is also terrifying. ”

"Kumiko, listen to me." Rina said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Rena."

"It's not about the level you are at now, it's about the determination to be the best and working hard for it, and that's the kind of person who is special."

After speaking, Rina added:

"Like him, you can get the first place in everything casually, you can't have that kind of determination."

"What if he wants to be the best, and then works hard until now, and succeeds?"

Rina hit Kumiko on the shoulder dissatisfied:

"Will you help him, or will you help me?"

Kumiko pretended to be in pain and rubbed her shoulders: "Of course it's to help Reina!" ”

Rina snorted: "If he is a special person, of course it is the best, I will beat him at the national competition next year and become an even more special person!" ”

"It's impossible." After saying that, Kumiko immediately covered her mouth and looked at Rina with round eyes.

This time, Rina didn't hit her, but gave her a helpless look: "Kumiko, after today's practice, do you want to come to my house for Christmas together?" ”

Kumiko smiled.

Rina was embarrassed by her, twisted her face slightly, and asked a little angrily:

"Are you going?"

"Of course!" Kumiko hurriedly responded, "I'm laughing because, in fact, I'm also going to invite Rina to my house, and we want to go together." ”

"What's your family eating tonight?"

"Fried chicken, cakes, it's very ordinary."

"Which fried chicken is from?"

"Huh? This one...... It seems to be a Moss burger. ”

"Then go to your house, I'm tired of the KFC I ordered."

"Do you want to stay at my house after eating? My bed is for you to sleep on, and I sleep on the ground. Kumiko began to look forward to the dinner party in the evening.

This winter vacation, there are so many happy things.

Is it really good to get so much happiness all of a sudden?

Will it be in exchange for the next two years of high school life?

No, no, I can't be too happy, I'm going to enter the national competition next year, get the national gold, and show off in front of that guy!

Hold back now, Kumiko!

"Okay." Rina opened the soundproof door of the music room, and there were only a few people, who chose to continue practicing today, "But you're welcome, let's sleep in a bed." ”

"Sleep together?!"

"What's wrong?" Rina looked strangely at Kumiko, who suddenly became excited.

Kumiko hurriedly waved her hand: "I'm definitely not thinking about strange things!" ”

"It's suspicious. But," Rina laughed, "it doesn't matter if you think about it, I don't hate it." ”

“...... Lina, you're really a little astringent. ”
