Chapter 401 – Second Summer Vacation #2

“Tetsuya-kun, what are you going to do on vacation?”

Miyuki is so kind.
She asks questions like that to create space for conversation.

After finishing talking with his friend and staring blankly at the whiteboard, he glanced at me, who was between him and Miyuki, and answered.

“I… Have nothing to do.”

“Why don’t you have anything to do? There is a lot of self-development to do. “Don’t be like that. Let’s meet and study with me often.”

It is ‘often’, not ‘often’.
Before meeting me, I played with Tetsuya almost every day, and it feels new.

Also, Miyuki did not tell Tetsuya to eat at home.
Even though I invited him over quite often and had meals with my family.
I silently listened to the conversation between the two, thinking that Miyuki’s psychology, which had changed and is still changing, was very annoying.

“Huh. “I will do that.”

“I think it would be good if the three of us together with Matsuda-kun like before. Right?”

“… Okay.”

Didn’t Miyuki like it when she always put me in?
The guy’s expression changed slightly, then returned to normal.

Why do you dare make a face like that?
I’m the one who should hate it, but I’m being damned.
A guy who doesn’t know anything about that topic might think he’s lucky that he can still spend time with Miyuki, but I will block that hope.

“Your grades are in!”

While everyone was having a peaceful time, the vice class leader came in from the back door of the classroom and announced the news.
Students who were interested in studying quickly got up and started flocking to the bulletin board in the hallway.

Miyuki wasn’t to that extent either, but she got up as soon as she heard the voice.
Then he grabbed my wrist and pointed outside the classroom.

“Let’s go see it quickly.”

“Nope.”

“Is it because you’re afraid?”

“No.”

“Are you scared?”

Where did you learn such provocations?
Did you pass it on to Hiyori?

I was dumbfounded by the somewhat harsh words for Miyuki, but when she giggled and grabbed her arms with both hands, I reluctantly removed her buttocks.
Afterwards, behind the students gathered in groups of twos and threes, she craned her head to look at their ranks.

When I lifted my tiptoes, I saw the bulletin board, but part of it was obscured by the students’ heads, so I could only see the top 10.
And my name wasn’t in the top 10.
Is achieving the goal a failure? Since I didn’t study that much, it was a natural result.

“What rank are you in?”

Since Miyuki was much shorter than me, I couldn’t see her bulletin board, so she patted my back and urged me to quickly check her rank.
When I looked at the very top, I saw Miyuki’s name.
Top. It was a natural result.

“You are first place.”

“What rank is Matsuda-kun other than me?”

“I’m not in the top 10.”

“Then? Are you in 11th place? 12th place?”

When I peered through the gaps in her black hair, I saw a few letters of my name just below the number 10.

“I think I’m in 11th place.”

“Okay? “Good job.”

I thought she was going to tell me to study harder during vacation, but she is unexpectedly praising me.
If you come in 11th place, you’ve saved face.
After thinking that, I returned to the classroom and sat down in the chair.

The waist goes behind the backrest.
The vice-captain saw that rough attitude and said.

“What are you doing?”

“Back exercises.”

“Is that exercise?”

“Uh. “Follow me.”

“I think you’re joking…?”

Her expression was bright as she looked at me with suspicious eyes.
I think it’s because I maintained second place.

Come to think of it, she was ranked 4th in Bread Girl too… I knew she was good at it, but this time her grades improved even further.
I believe that the sexual passion for learning will be high in proportion to the passion for learning.

Not long after, Tetsuya came back with a shit-chewing look on his face.
Miyuki was comforting him, and he seemed to have seen the rankings together.

Originally, I didn’t care what rank that guy was, but if he has a face like that and doesn’t make me curious, he’s not human.
I quietly poked Miyuki, who was sitting next to me, on the waist and asked quietly.

“What rank is Miura?”

Then, Miyuki glanced at Tetsuya and drew numbers on his desk with his finger.
When I saw Miyuki’s long index finger drawing the numbers 1 and 8, I thought so.
It’s a perfect rank for Tetsuya, who is ambiguous about everything.
As long as I get to second place there next semester, it will suit me perfectly.

“Matsumatsu!”

Lunch hour.
As I was walking alone on the well-maintained path between the playground and the building, I turned my head when I heard a unique call from behind me.

Hiyori is approaching me at a fast pace.
She has a bright expression as if she has no worries.
Did you do well on the test? No, I don’t know anything else, but I don’t think that’s absolutely true.
I think I probably ranked 30th or so, but I have to ask.

“Have you eaten?”

“Just now. “It tasted really bad today.”

“I think I ate okay.”

“It seems so. Are you taking a walk to digest it?”

“That’s right. “Did you get your test scores?”

“Yes.”

“What rank are you in?”

“35th place.”

You’re five levels lower than I expected.
I seriously underestimated it.

“How many students are in your class?”

“38 people.”

35th out of 38 people…
If you shoot them all and get lucky and get a few more answers right than the person in the lowest rank, wouldn’t you be able to get that rank?
I said to her, who did not disappoint her expectations, as she slowly shook her head.

“There are three people under you.”

“What is that statement? Are you saying I should have come in last place originally?”

“Wouldn’t it have been better that way? “You can have a mental victory by saying you’re number one from behind.”

“Are you going to die?”

The way she looks fake angry while raising one hand on her shoulder is very pretty.
When I saw this and burst out laughing, Hiyori smiled and continued speaking.

“What rank is your senior?”

“11th place.”

“It’s similar to me.”

“Don’t say something like that so shamelessly.”

“I’m sorry.”

Miho is definitely number one like Miyuki, right?
Usually, if you have a friend like that by your side, you will study naturally and your grades will go up, right?
I don’t know if Hiyori is special or universal.

Anyway, I’ve thought about this before, but it turns out that the academy is too cruel.
Rankings just allow you to check them individually… If you post everyone’s grades on the bulletin board, people with lower rankings might get made fun of.
In Hiyori’s case, she wouldn’t have anyone who would do that, and she wouldn’t have any worries herself, but she would.

“Ask Mitsushima to help you study during vacation.”

“Miho often asked me to do it first, but each time, I said no.”

“Why do you say it so proudly?”

“What should I do if she hates studying?”

When Hiyori or Miyuki comes to my house, it would be okay to invite the other one to study.
It seems like a perfect picture will be created with Tetsuya missing from the meeting a year ago and Hiyori joining.
It’s a bonus to have the opportunity to get to know each other.

“What don’t your parents say?”

“They say so many things. Then I pretend to play with her little brother.”

“Didn’t you say her brother was young?”

“Yes.”

“Why would you take advantage of such an innocent child?”

“What is pure…! “There is no such thing as a devil.”

“Don’t say that.”

“Why are you taking my brother’s side whom you’ve never met?”

“That’s because you say bad things to your younger brother.”

Tap, tap.

My hand swept over Hiyori’s head a couple of times.
She said, covering the top of her head and protecting her precious antennae.

“I’m going.”

“Where.”

“Classroom.”

“What’s going on?”

“What’s going on…! “Senior is annoying today.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

“Really annoying. “I’m going to change my skirt.”

It was said that she would wear a short skirt.
I scolded Hiyori for looking at her with her bewildered eyes as she continued to defy and threaten her with such a trivial yet cute act.

“Try it. “What happens?”

After arguing with Hiyori, who had a pouting expression on her face, I sent a message to Chinami and checked her grades.

[Teacher, did you get your test scores? What rank are you in?]

[I am second seat.]

[You did a great job. Congratulation.]

[Thank you. I aimed for the top position, but it wasn’t easy.]

[You can try next semester. I will give you a reward during today’s club activities.]

[I’m looking forward to it. What kind of award is this?]

[It’s a massage.]

[Oh.]

Why does that one word suck so much?
This is an exclamation that other heroines often utter, but only when Chinami does it, I find it very strange without knowing why.

Determined to feel free to touch Chinami’s body during club activities, I sent a message to Lenka this time.

[What rank?]

[I should have done better than you.]

Lenka’s study mind was ordinary.
Even though she knows my previous rank, she gives me that answer?
I think I probably ranked around 15th.

[Is it higher than 11th place?]

[Die.]

I burst out laughing at the profanity that immediately came out and looked up at the sky.
Very clear. It would be great except for the heat, but that’s a shame.

[Oh my. I need to study a little.]

[Are you raising the medicine now?]

[Didn’t the manager raise the medicine first?]

[I lost my concentration because of you. If you don’t win the competition, it’s your fault.]

[Is today the competition day? [He’s making nonsense that doesn’t even sound like words.]

[Shut up.]

Unlike Chinami, who plans to rub her obliques, Lenka needs to be spanked.

After checking the heroines’ report cards, I spent a few calm days with them, enjoying the rest period that followed from the school trip.

So, it was my second summer vacation.
