In the non-stop wind and snow, December is halfway over, and the weather is still cold.

It's school day again.

At the end of the evening shift, Naruse greeted Naoko, and just as he was about to leave, several boys suddenly came over.

"Naruse, save us!"

“……”

The same situation seems to have happened a few times in middle school, and Naruse's first reaction was that they were going to pull themselves into a fight.

Until he saw the textbooks in their hands.

"It's the final exam next week, and I don't want to retake it!"

“…… So? ”

"Takigawa said that Naruse often helps people with their studies, so help us too."

He turned his head to look at Hikaru Takikawa, who was leaning against the back door of the classroom, chatting with a passing girl.

"Naruse shouldn't be okay now, right?"

"I've got to go to the club."

"Isn't Naruse the mascot of the Restoration Department, so it's okay to be absent once in a while."

“…… Who said that? ”

"Please—"

Naruse looked at Naoko, and she tilted her head, indicating with her gaze that it was up to him.

"Just a few of you?"

"Naruse agreed? That's great! ”

"No, I'm asking ......"

"-Naruse agreed to tutor!"

"Really?" Several more boys gathered around the classroom.

Naruse was a little helpless, "There are so many people, are you going to have a study meeting?" ”

"Okay." The boys were happy.

In the boys' words, this matter was quickly decided, and the location of the study meeting was in the C class classroom, and the time was after school in the past few days.

And Naruse, who is responsible for tutoring them, has little room to speak.

Naoko watched from the side for a while and pulled his clothes, "Then I'll go to the ministry first." ”

Although the end of the semester is approaching, she has his individual counseling, and she is not in a hurry, and she will continue to go to the club before the ban on club activities comes down.

Naruse sighed, "Hmm......"

She smiled slightly, "Come on." ”

Naoko left, and Naruse put down her bag and sat back down, her eyes sweeping around.

There were about seven or eight boys who wanted to participate in the study meeting, and he didn't know the current learning situation of each of them, and there were too many people, and he didn't plan to figure them out one by one.

The scope of the final exam has been delineated, and he is ready to directly sort out the knowledge points within the scope of each subject from scratch, as for how much they can digest, it depends on themselves.

He briefly introduced, "No problem, right?" ”

"Okay, so be it."

The boys agreed, and their requirements were low, as long as they could pass the exam—and the more demanding ones wouldn't come to him now.

"Then let's do it in the order in which the final exams are scheduled."

The first subject of the exam is biology, and Naruse finds the biology textbook and waits for the other boys to take place, and Hikaru Takikawa also returns to the classroom at this time.

"Eh, are you having a study meeting...... Count me in. ”

Naruse turned his head to look at her, wanting to say that she could be tutored with Naoko later, but there were already a few boys sitting around, so he didn't speak.

"Well, start with biology and sort out the knowledge points within the scope of the final exam...... I mean, if you're going to join, just take out your biology textbooks and notes. ”

“OK~”

Hikaru Takikawa was close anyway, so he sat in his original seat, spread out his textbook and listened to him explain the knowledge points.

“…… The immune response is divided into three phases, the first of which is ...... Hmm, I think I'll get it here, so let's keep it in mind. ”

The girl in the back seat of Naruse had already left, and the seat was occupied by another boy.

Hikaru Takikawa was taking notes, and Yuguang glanced at him when he caught a glimpse of the boy next to him who had little reaction to Naruse's words.

"Don't you write it down, Naganuma."

"Huh?"

The two usually don't communicate, Naganuma didn't expect her to talk to her, panicked in her straightforward gaze, and reacted for a few seconds before speaking.

"I ...... I don't have to remember that. ”

"Huh?"

"I'm actually okay with biology, and I understand what Naruse is saying now. I'm going to ask him to tutor me in math......"

"Really?" Hikaru Takikawa tilted his body slightly and glanced at his bio notes, "Wow, really...... I remember it in detail. ”

"It's okay......"

Naganuma sat up straight unconsciously, "Actually, I'm more interested in biology, and I'm usually studying some related courses on my own. In the last exam, I was only a few points lower than Naruse. ”

Hikaru Takikawa smiled, "That's amazing." ”

Naganuma moved the note to the side and sat up straighter.

"Actually, I want to apply for the ...... exam in the future."

Combing through the knowledge points, but muttering all the time behind him, Naruse glanced back at the two.

"Don't bother him."

"I'm sorry~" Hikaru Takikawa leaned on the table and looked up and smiled again, "Go on, Mr. Harumi." ”

Naruse turned around.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled at Naganuma again and made a gesture to silence him.

He nodded, only a few beats slower, and she had refocused on the note in front of her.

After looking at her for a moment, Naganuma handed over his notes.

"I wrote down everything that the teacher said in class, and I added my own...... If you don't understand something, you can ask me. ”

Hikaru Takikawa was slightly surprised, scanned his notebook, and turned his head to smile.

"Thank you then."

The afternoon session lasted until dark, when the biology part was finally over.

"That's going to pass, right?" A boy asked.

"Don't ask me."

Naruse packed up his things, "I've sorted out all the knowledge points, and I also reminded you of the places where I feel you will be tested, and the rest can only rely on yourself." ”

"I hope Naruse's hunch is accurate......"

"I hope so." He looked at the back door, where Naoko leaned in, smiling and waving her hand.

"Gone."

Hikaru Takikawa quickly followed, and the three of them went back together.

The rest of the boys also packed their things and prepared to go back.

Someone put a ride on Naganuma's shoulder.

"I said, Naganuma ......"

"Kobayashi? Do. ”

"You and Takikawa shouldn't have spoken much, right?"

“…… Pretty much. What's wrong? ”

Xiao Lin Zheng showed that he really looked like this, and then he became a little embarrassed.

"You know a lot about it...... But don't be mistaken. ”

Naganuma blushed, "What the hell are you talking about?" ”

Kobayashi let go of him and shrugged.

"No, nothing, that's all I have to say."

Seeing that a few other boys were also looking at him, Naganuma was very uncomfortable.

"Inexplicable......"

When he left, the rest of the boys got together.

"Oh no, Naganuma has also fallen."

"It's definitely fallen, and it's just a few words...... This guy is too easy to handle and too easy to understand. ”

"But that's a trap...... A trap called 'Hikaru Takigawa'. ”

"Even if you haven't spoken much, looking at Takikawa's usual words and deeds, you should be able to know that she is that kind of character, right? That guy Naganuma seems to have taken it all as kindness to himself......"

The boys were suddenly silent.

“…… No, don't really say it, I thought Takikawa had a crush on me at first. ”

"Me too."

"I also confessed ......"

Several people looked at each other.

"That guy isn't going to do that, is he?"

"After staying in Class C for so long, I will still be confused by Takigawa's illusion, and I will lose people if I say it."

The boys felt the same way, and at the same time felt sorry for Naganuma, and the time was not early, and they quickly dispersed.

The next morning.

When he came to school, Naruse was changing his shoes, and Hikaru Takikawa, who was next to him, opened the shoe cabinet, and a letter suddenly floated down and fell in front of him.

【To Hikaru Takikawa】

“……”

Naruse was surprised and not surprised, and picked up the letter to her.

"This time it's like a boy." He judged by the handwriting.

Hikaru Takikawa himself was accustomed to it, so he took the envelope and opened it directly.

"Ask me to go to the back of the gym at noon...... At noon, I have to eat with the moon...... Hey, let's say it's okay in the afternoon, so I'll go back in the afternoon. ”

She put away the letter, "Chunhai will remember to remind me in the afternoon." ”

"You remember it yourself."

"I'll forget."

At noon, Hikaru Takikawa went downstairs to have dinner with his sister, and he came back not long after, but a boy in the class didn't hurry back to the classroom until class.

When school ended in the afternoon and was about to continue yesterday's study meeting, Hikaru Takikawa opened his schoolbag and saw the letter, and suddenly remembered what happened in the morning.

"Ah, I need to leave."

In front of Naruse and the boys, she waved the letter, "You guys start first." ”

“……”

Eyes followed her and the letter until she left the classroom, and the boys all stood up at once.

"Let's go check it out...... Naruse is also coming! ”
