Perhaps because Akiyama-sensei doesn't show up much on the club building, she and Rintaro are noticed and are often able to attract the attention of other people who come and go between the school building and the club building, and because of this, the girl named Hoshiri Katase also finds the two of them very quickly.

Standing in the passage connecting the two buildings, Hoshiri Katase was hesitating whether to go this way, when the figures of Akiyama-sensei and Rintaro appeared in front of her, paused, and then walked towards the two of them. There was still some nervousness in her eyes, but she made up her mind to come over...... That's about it.

"Akiyama-sensei, Sakuraba-san......" she greeted softly.

"Don't be too nervous, Xingli. Although Sakuraba looks a little paralyzed, she is actually a relatively easy person to get along with. Akiyama-sensei said to Hoshiri Katase.

Probably to eliminate her nervousness and fear of the unknown, and by the way, to build a good communication foundation for herself, she is really worthy of an experienced teacher...... It's just that it's the first time that Rintaro has heard others say that he is paralyzed.

When Hoori Katase's eyes turned to him again, Rintaro nodded slightly: "Don't worry too much, just call me by my name." ”

Then Hoshiri Katase retracted his gaze a little nervously, causing Rintaro to wonder if he was really a little paralyzed.

Fortunately, there is still Teacher Akiyama helping the two of them to relieve the embarrassment, she stepped forward slightly, pushed Katase Xingri's back and walked forward: "It's out of school now, Xiaoxingli, don't be so nervous." Obviously, we used to hang out together, but now it's no problem to call me Sister Kana directly. ”

Rintaro thinks this is still a bit of a problem, especially now that he is still in school. But her words didn't have a small effect on Hoshiri Katase, although the latter still didn't call her "Kana-san", but she didn't feel too nervous anymore.

"Akiyama-sensei, I'm still ...... at school"

"It's club activity time, you are using the department I manage, I'll come over to see if there are any problems." Mr. Akiyama, who had pushed Hoshiri Katase up the stairs, turned around and urged Rintaro, "Sakuraba-san, please hurry up." ”

Rintaro sighed inwardly, and then walked upstairs from Shinchao again.

As Rintaro feared, when Katase Seori went up to the top floor, and saw that only the innermost classroom on this floor was being used, while the lights in the corridor were still flashing, and the environment was like a ghost running out at any time, fear overcame her reserve, and she grabbed Akiyama-sensei's hand tightly, and her face was full of fear.

Rintaro began to think that it was not a good idea to use this place as a teaching classroom.

After coming to the classroom, Katase Seiri's face improved slightly, probably because the place had just been cleaned before, at least it looked a little more reassuring.

In order to reassure Hoshiri Katase, Akiyama-sensei sat in the seat that Rintaro had prepared for him and talked to her. Rintaro was very considerate and didn't bother them.

The content of the dialogue is probably "Sakuraba is a good person", "Sakuraba has a good academic performance", "If you scold him, he won't fight back" and the like, whether it has any effect or not, in short, all the words that are rushing to make Katase Seshiri feel at ease are said.

Rintaro cares a lot about what Akiyama-sensei says, but the girl named Hoshiri Katase shouldn't be a fool and can understand which ones are true and which ones are mouthful.

About a few minutes passed, and Mr. Akiyama ended his nagging: "Well, anyway, Xiaoxingli, don't worry, if you need help at that time, you can just call me directly." If you're here, Sakuraba-san should be able to teach you a lot of things, so you need to learn hard. ”

“…… I, I know......" Hoori Katase said in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

Mr. Akiyama turned around and told Rintaro some more things, and then said that she had something to do later, so she walked away. As soon as the door was closed, only Hoshiri Katase, who was sitting at the desk, and Rintaro, who was standing at the lectern waiting for the two of them to finish speaking, were left in the classroom.

The two glanced at each other, and Hoshiri Katase lowered his head slightly. Rintaro felt that it was a little impossible for Hoshiri Katase to start the conversation, so he decided to go first.

Coming to the chair that had just been pulled away, Rintaro put the chair back in his preset position and spoke to her: "The general situation is the same as what Akiyama-sensei said just now. I'm just a student in the same grade as you with better grades, and I'm about the same age as you, so don't be nervous or anything, just call me Rintaro. ”

“…… I, I see, Sakuraba-san......"

“…… Forget it, if you think it's a little easier to pronounce, you can call me that. Rintaro sighed inwardly. Personality is not something that can be changed by saying that it can be changed, and things like getting along with each other should be done slowly: "My words...... I'll just call you by name, because I heard that you are three sisters in your family, right? ”

Hoshiri Katase nodded: "Straight, just call me by my name, you're welcome......"

"Xingli-san, although I will be your tutor now, this is just a matter that I decided yesterday. I don't know you very well as a person, if I could......" Rintaro paused, looking at Seiri Katase who was a little afraid to look him in the eye: "...... Can you tell me what your last monthly exam was? ”

Listening to Rintaro's words, Hoshiri Katase shrank slightly, and then while thinking about his achievements, he reported a string of numbers to Rintaro in a small voice.

And this string of numbers also succeeded in shocking Rintaro.

There are many subjects that Japanese high school students have to study, and although in Rintaro's opinion, there are many classifications that can be classified in the same subject, but whether they are separated or put together, Katase Seiri's achievements are somewhat beyond Rintaro's imagination.

He wanted to ask Katase how high he was in their class, but now that he thinks about it...... Forget it. It's not much better anyway, so it's better not to ask, so as not to make her sad.

Sensing that Hoori Katase was looking at him with nervous eyes, Rintaro thought about trying not to let her see his psychological burden, and put on a straight face: "Fortunately, there is still a lot of room for improvement, just work hard." ”
