Tetsuya Ayakoji also remembered what happened an hour ago.

It was in the alley to the left of the vanilla coffee shop.

At that time, Kasumigaoka Shiwa was still with him.

The sunset in Tokyo stains every crowded and empty street.

"Senior sister, do you really want me to go?"

"There's no way around it, and you can't just leave it alone. I would have liked to do it myself, but she would have refused. Kasumigaoka Shiyu spread her hands helplessly.

Tetsuya Ayakoji asked, "Is the relationship so bad?" ”

"Ah, yes."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu leaned against the wall, clasped his hands on his chest, and looked up at the orange-red remnant sun in the distance.

At that time, when she saw the sun, she thought of the last moment of her life.

It was a bleak beauty.

But now when she looks at the sunset, she can simply appreciate its beauty.

That's the state of mind.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu explained: "After all, I'm regarded as a hater by her, and if I offer to help her at this time, I will definitely be regarded as a charity by her." ”

“……”

That's right.

After all, people are emotional animals.

But Tetsuya Ayakoji also remembered something else.

Because people are emotional animals, it is not easy for him and Ichihara Maho to get along with each other in a normal relationship between seniors and seniors, and if something is involved, it will be very troublesome.

Tetsuya Ayakoji also feels that he knows a little bit about Ichihara Maho.

She's not the kind of person who will seek death for the sake of feelings.

Her heart is strong and weak.

People are always contradictory.

Ichihara Maho is no exception.

Tetsu Ayakoji is no exception.

Senpai is no exception.

The setting sun shone on Kasumigaoka Shiyu's soft face, and the orange red dotted under her eyelids made her whole person suddenly exude an alluring brilliance.

Senpai looked confident and calm, but the line of labels above her head was trembling slightly.

【Tangled】

"There's a place."

Tetsuya Ayakoji also walked in front, and Kasumigaoka Shiwa followed suspiciously.

It was a side road near the coffee shop.

There was a concrete bulge in the middle of the road.

"That night, here ......"

"Don't talk about it."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu suddenly stopped Ayakoji Tetsuya from continuing.

"It makes me feel selfish."

It's like he wants to use his own misfortune to forcibly lock up Tetsuya Ayakoji.

It shouldn't be like this.

Obviously, they haven't decided on a relationship yet.

……

Tetsuya Ayakoji opened Ichihara Maho's school bag.

The stuff in it is very pure, and it is all a study book.

To make a bad girl who has only been left with play and makeup in her past life fall in love with learning, this is probably no less difficult than forcing a person who is afraid of death to go to the battlefield.

It must be because of what happened.

Tetsuya Ayakoji doesn't believe that Ichihara Maho really decided to start changing himself because he fell in love with him at first sight.

At best, it's just an introduction.

"Ayakoji-kun?"

Finding that Ayakoji Tetsuya had been staring at his schoolbag in a daze, Ichihara Maho called him in a whisper.

Then he added: "There is nothing strange in the bag. ”

"I'm sorry." Tetsuya Ayakoji shook her head, "I'm a little distracted." ”

Tetsu Ayakoji also drew out the midterm exam paper of Ichihara Maho.

Although it is the third year of high school exam, most of the questions are still understandable by Tetsuya Ayakoji.

And the part that I can't understand......

It's just the place where Kasumigaoka Shiba can come forward.

He roughly glanced at Ichihara's results.

The math score turned out to be okay, but English and ancient Chinese were a mess.

Especially the reading questions, the reading questions are long and difficult, and it is still difficult to make the right choice just by knowing those words.

As for the ancient texts.

Most of the answers are blank.

"Look, I don't understand."

Ichihara Maho, who was standing by and watching quietly, blushed, lowered his head, and twisted restlessly with his feet pinned together.

Tetsuya Ayakoji don't overdo it.

Ichihara Maho's body shape is a little better than Kasumigaoka Shiha, and her wheat-colored skin also has a unique charm.

If it's just ancient Chinese and English, even if Tetsuya Ayakoji's learning progress hasn't caught up with Ichihara Maho, it's still no problem to guide her.

Guwen is his home turf.

Tetsu Ayakoji also put a lot of effort into this, because the Chinese subject of the entrance examination to Tokyo University is archaeological every year.

There are neon's own ancient texts, such as The Tale of Genji, Taipingji, and ancient Chinese texts - the exam questions are still relatively biased, and the exam at the beginning of the year examined the "Cat Number" of "Ying Harmonic Record".

If you are a student who is not familiar with Chinese, when you see such an ancient text, you feel that it is probably -

"Every word seems familiar, and I don't understand what it means when you read it together."

……

"In addition to memorization, English and ancient Chinese are more effective in relying on comprehension, from sentences, or even from paragraphs, and some topics may involve the whole text."

"In mathematics, the only thing I can do now is to do more problems."

"Small essays should also be taken seriously, but this may be more important to know more about current affairs."

Ayakoji Tetsuya was also speaking, and Ichihara Maho had been nodding seriously beside him.

She couldn't find any tricks to study alone.

I wanted to ask those classmates with good grades, but those people didn't pay much attention to her.

As for the school, it is even more impossible, Ichihara Maho has no money at all.

Even if she has more than 100,000 yen on her, she will consider letting Ichihara Naomasa sign up.

Compared with her, Naomasa Ichihara, who still has two years, is more hopeful.

She's a fool anyway, and if she can improve a little, it's a little bit.

Ichihara Naomasa didn't think about anything at this time, and listened carefully to Tetsuya Ayakoji's instructions.

It's rare to have someone who is good at learning willing to guide her.

Although it is only a "mere" junior.

"Tetsuya-kun, it's time to rest."

At this time, the store manager poked his head in through the door with a grin.

The clerks are able to get along well in private, and they cooperate well at work, and she is happy as the store manager.

"Thank you, Ayakoji-kun."

Ichihara Maho put away the test paper and thanked him sincerely.

She walked out of the lounge and saw the girl sitting in the corner.

"Kasumigaoka Shiha!"

Ichihara was shocked.

She looked at Shiyu Kasumigaoka who looked up and nodded, and then at Tetsuya Ayakoji behind her.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu continued to stare at her laptop in a daze after saying hello.

And Tetsuya Ayakoji's face didn't show anything abnormal.

But Ichihara Maho still felt a little uneasy, and then asked in a low voice, "Ayakoji-kun, it won't affect you, right?" ”

"Huh?"

Ayakoji Tetsu also showed a puzzled look.

It's better not to respond positively to this question.

Ichihara smiled awkwardly.

It's work time, and you shouldn't want to write anything else.

She patted her cheek and got back to work.
