Normally, Rintaro thinks that he should have come to school relatively early, and when he arrives at school, except for some people who prefer to get up early to exercise, no one else can see it.

But today is different, and Rintaro, who walks into the school, sees a large group of people chattering around the big billboard at the front of the school building.

What else can be announced today? Rintaro can't think of anything else than the ranking of the knowledge contest, but this knowledge contest is obviously not very popular, and now there are so many people standing there watching, which is a little unreasonable, right?

Rintaro and Katase Hazuki walked over together, and both of them were quite concerned about the ranking of the knowledge competition. Rintaro is counting on getting the prize money from the school, and Hazuki Katase is counting on getting good grades, preferably overtaking Rintaro and beating him in what he does best...... Although the purpose is different, the need is still the same.

When I came to the bulletin board, some of the students had already finished reading the bulletin board, and while talking in a low voice, they walked towards the school building, just in time for Rin Taro and Katase Hazuki to check the empty space on the bulletin board.

There are four pieces of paper pasted on the big billboard, from left to right, there are four levels of competition in the first grade group, the second grade group, the third grade group, and the whole grade group of the knowledge competition.

Rintaro glanced back at the whole year group, and the first thing he saw was where his name hung in the first place in the whole year group.

There's a sense of something magical, but not outrageous. Rintaro nodded to himself and looked to the left. The whole grade group won the first place, and the first grade group was also the same, and Rintaro felt that his prize money should be stable this time.

However, there is more to look out for in the first-year rankings than just how you rank. Looking down the rankings, the second place is not, the third place is not......

Sure enough, the top 20 is still a little too reluctant for Katase Hazuki.

Rin Taro came to such a conclusion when he was about to read the rankings, and then saw the last name of the first-year group, Katase...... Hazuki.

？

？？？？？？？？？？？？

Rintaro looked at the name in a daze, but after the initial surprise, a slight smile appeared on Katase Hazuki's face, but this smile quickly disappeared from Katase Hazuki's face.

“…… How can it be? Rin Taro was puzzled for a long time, and when he was careless, such a sentence came out of his mouth, and he was glared at by Katase Hazuki on the spot.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh no. I mean...... Ye Yue, you're only in the twentieth place, aren't you a little out of order......

"Hmph."

Anyway, Katase Hazuki's mood did suddenly get much better. She glanced at the title on the billboard again, and carefully confirmed the name of the twentieth place in the first-grade group, the information of the school, it was indeed herself, and she finally withdrew her gaze.

"Gone." Perhaps because of the good mood, Katase Hazuki still had a hard time saying to Rintaro before walking towards the teaching building.

Rintaro's mood became a little complicated.

It's really good that Katase Hazuki has achieved good results, but I don't know what kind of requirements Katase Hazuki has to face on my side.

How? Why are you so unhelpful? Bought by Katase Hazuki?

Outrageous.

Rintaro's mood that had become better because of the scholarship was about to be overridden by such worries.

However, it didn't seem to be much use standing here and thinking about it, Rintaro shook his head and followed Katase Hazuki towards the school building.

It's a little regrettable that I didn't see Hoshiri Katase's name, but Hoori Katase was already studying hard to get into this week's session, and Rintaro felt that he couldn't ask for more.

After thinking about it, Rintaro felt that it was more practical for him to worry about how to deal with Katase Hazuki's request next, so he slowly walked to his classroom.

Rintaro seems to be in a worse mood now than before he came to school.

Sitting in the classroom, Rintaro remained silent, unable to see joy or sorrow. But there are people who don't have the eyesight to see what Rintaro's condition is, and they ask Rintaro for homework as always.

Regardless of the results, today is still the same day as usual.

At the end of the morning class, Rintaro packed up his things and walked out of the classroom. This time, Katase Hazuki, who was in a good mood, did not run away, but slowly walked down from the upper floor, showing his calmness.

"Let's go." Katase Hazuki took the initiative to say a word to Rintaro, which is another proof that she is in an excellent mood.

…… Forget it, anyway, the ones who should come will still come, and they can't run away, so they can only wait to see what Katase Hazuki will ask him to do and then plan slowly.

Surprisingly, Katase Hazuki didn't make her own request, but went downstairs with Rin Taro very usually, and after meeting up with Katase Hoshiri, she went to the classroom in the club building to start studying, and even she seemed to be much more active than usual...... Rintaro suspects that this is due to her good mood.

Until he came home from class in the afternoon, Rintaro was full of question marks.

"I'm back." Rintaro pushed open the door of the apartment and returned home, today Katase Yorai is still sitting in front of the computer and drawing manga as before, at least from Rintaro's point of view, Katase Yori is dedicated enough.

Rintaro didn't bother her much, and came to sit on the tatami mat, thinking about Katase Hazuki.

"You look like there's something on your mind." Katase Hazuki's words came over.

Rintaro turned his head to look at Rai Katase, who was looking upside down at him, and pointed to his face, "Are you sure you can see it?" ”

"Oops, it's a feeling, and you don't understand it. But whether you admit it or not is another matter. ”

“…… There's nothing hard to admit, it's just that your sister has good grades, and I'm worried about what she's going to ask for. ”

"That's it?" Yorai Katase suddenly lost interest: "I thought it was a big deal." After all, this is your bet, you can't break the contract, right? ”

"Of course it's not enough to break the contract, I just don't know what Ye Yue will ask, so I'm just a little worried."

"Hahaha, you can go with your own worries." Yorai Katase laughed and hugged her thighs in her chair.

"Aren't you worried about me at all?"

"What can there be to worry about? Xiao Yeyue hasn't spoken to you for the past two weeks, and this problem has been solved. Now it's from our problem to your own problem~ Remember to tell me what Xiao Hazuki asked you to do, I'm still quite interested. ”

Yorai Katase grinned on her face.
