"Sakuraba-san, Sakuraba-san!"

Being called, Rintaro's consciousness returned to reality, and then he immediately saw Seori Katase who was puffing out his mouth and looking at his side.

"What's wrong?"

"I called you so many times, and you ignored me."

“…… Sorry, just thinking about things. Rintaro apologized.

"What are you thinking?" Hoshiri Katase asked curiously.

"Hmm...... Lives matter. "Rintaro is not lying, eating is a life-threatening matter, and if you don't eat, you will die.

"Huh?" Hoshiri Katase was stunned by Rintaro's flickering, and then shook his head: "Then, then you can think slowly." ”

"It's okay, I've just figured out a solution. What did you tell me to do? Still have any questions you don't understand? ”

"Not this one. Well...... Actually, I just wanted to ask what Sakuraba-san usually does at home. ”

"Me?" Rin Taro looked at her with some confusion: "I'm not doing anything, it's better to say that it's quite boring at night, I play with my phone after dinner, I wash and sleep when I feel sleepy, and there is no entertainment." ”

"Sakuraba-san, won't you study at night?" Hoshiri Katase blinked.

It seems that Katase Hazuki is also quite interested in this question, and a pair of eyes look this way.

"Ah, this." Rintaro knew what they were curious about: "It's true that I don't read at home at night. About half a month ago, I would go to work in the afternoons and evenings, and if I had homework, I would finish it while I was visiting the store, and if I didn't, I would be in a daze or something. Now, in the afternoon, I will study with you for a while, and there will be nothing to do in the evening. But thanks to this job, the evenings can be a little more leisurely. ”

Hoshiri Katase frowned: "But, if you don't study at home, can you really get such a high score of 597 points in the monthly exam?" ”

"You think these things are difficult now, because you don't have the basic knowledge at the front end, the foundation is not stable, and high-rise buildings will overturn in an instant. Rather than learning anything advanced in the process of studying, I think it is enough to learn the basic parts well. ”

"Listen carefully in class, try to practice when you encounter vague places, take a little time to memorize knowledge that needs to be memorized, use the exam as a tool to test yourself rather than a particularly important result, compare yourself with others, and compare yourself with yourself, the purpose of learning is not to surpass others, but to surpass your past self. If you think about it this way, it should be easier. ”

Rintaro told him what he had learned.

“…… Although Sakuraba-san, you seem to have said something very profound. ”

“…… But I always feel that there is still some gap between me and ordinary people, right? ”

The two sisters seemed a little confused.

Rintaro waved his hand: "This is just my personal opinion, and it doesn't necessarily suit you. Well...... Let's put it this way, Xingli and Hazuki, what are you studying for? ”

It's a good question, but it's a bit deeper.

The two sisters thought about it, but Rintaro didn't think they would be able to come up with an answer quickly, so he stood up.

"This is the most fundamental question for everyone. When a person has a wish, or a dream, he will have the motivation to act, and a strong motivation will push a person to work hard to accomplish something. For example, what is the purpose of my hard work...... In short, it is to get a scholarship first, and you can have a more relaxed life when you go on to higher education. Rintaro clasped his hand and nodded.

"I don't think it's a dream." Katase Hazuki said.

"That's because your goal in life is so far bigger than mine, so far away that even when you look back, you can't see my small wishes." Rintaro looked at Hoshiri Katase and Hazuki Katase, "For you, your goal should be based on knowledge and achievements that can become the foundation of the foundation in the future, and then build dreams from this, such as improving your grades and getting a scholarship, are just a necessary path in the process of hard work...... It's not even necessarily the way to go. But for me, that's a goal. ”

Sakuraba-san...... Your home...... Is it that hard? Katase was hesitant to ask this question.

"Actually, it's fine." Rintaro didn't care much, and then searched for Rintaro's memory: "My family is here...... In the countryside of Nara, I was supposed to be going to study there if I was in high school, but something happened, so I came to Chiba. It's not that I can't afford the tuition fees, but if I can get a scholarship, it's always a lot easier, and my family will be happy, so that's probably the case. Don't have any strange guesses, my family is fine. ”

"But ......" Hoshiri Katase still frowned: "It still doesn't seem to be a way to explain why Sakuraba-san, you were able to score 597 points?" ”

Rintaro likes such a simple and curious child the most, and the topic comes back very smoothly.

"If I hadn't been in a daze for a while during the exam, I might have been able to get a perfect score in all subjects." Rintaro said with an unchanged face. Moreover, Rintaro is not just in a daze, he finished writing the test paper in advance and was in a daze, plus he gave Katase Hoshiri a score, plus thinking about what he could eat after he went back, plus he was worried about whether Katase Yorai would do things at home, Rintaro's monthly exam this time was almost the same as playing the exam.

Katase Hazuki originally wanted to give him a roll of his eyes, but ...... Is there a big difference between 597 and 600? Katase Hazuki fell into deep thought.

Katase couldn't think of the result, so he gave up: "Probably because Sakuraba-san is so talented." ”

"I don't think it's all about talent, it's still very important to work hard."

"But Sakuraba-san's lack of effort at all."

……

……

……

Rintaro didn't speak for a long time, couldn't speak, didn't know what to say. In the end, a thousand words converged into one sentence:

"When I was in school, I studied hard."

"However, the other students in the class are also listening carefully? I'll go to cram school after class, but I'm not as good as Sakuraba-san. ”

Rintaro began to hate simple and curious children.

Rin Taro "glared" at Hoshiri Katase: "In short, Hoshiri-san, you don't have to think about anything about six hundred points now, wait until you catch up with the progress." ”

"Oh......" Hoshiri Katase blinked.

Katase Hazuki next to her rolled her eyes.
