With Takamine san teaching me Math and English and Shirakawa san teaching me Literature, my test study was (surprisingly) going well.
At this rate, I might really be able to avoid a red mark……
As I was concentrating on reading my modern literature textbook, I suddenly smelled a sweet aroma wafting through the air.
I looked up and saw Hina chan standing next to me, smiling.
In her hand, she is holding a bag from a convenience store.
“Kagenon ! You’re doing great !”
Above her head [136/100 (overflow)]. She is full of energy.
“Oh, Hina-chan. Yeah, well…..somehow.”
“Great job ! Megu got this for Kagenon, who’s working hard !”
Saying that, Hina chan took out a bag of chocolates and an energy drink and put them on my desk with a thud.
“Eh? Y-you don’t have to !”
“It’s fine, it’s fine ! Take some sugar and caffeine and go for it !”
She smiled, saying nothing.
I can’t resist a gal’s push…….
“T-thank you, Hina chan…….”
“You’re welcome !”
Hina chan nodded in satisfaction and instead of returning to her seat, she sat down in the seat opposite me.
Eh? She’s going to study here?
“Hina chan, are you doing okay with your studies?”
“No, not a t all ! Especially world history !”
Hina chan opened her textbook and laughed.
There’s an image that gals are bad at studying, but I guess it’s true… (prejudice).
“Kagenon, are you good at world history?”
“No, I can’t say……. I’m rather bad at it…….”
“I see, bummer !”
Hina chan laughs heartily.
Looking at her, the tense atmosphere before the test seems to ease just a little.
“But you know, when Megu sees Kagenon working hard, I feel like I have to work harder !”
“Eh? Me?”
“Yeah ! I think it’s really cool how hard Kagenon tries !”
“M-me? cool !?
Me !? This shady guy !?
No, no, no, no, absolutely not ! It’s some kind of mistake !
[Hina Megumi: 138/100 (overflow)]
It went up again !
Her likeability is going up just because I’m studying !
Why !?
[Look, Kagenon, eat some chocolate too ! Megu will eat this and do her best too !”
Hina chan began ripping open the chocolate wrappings for herself.
You’re going at your own pace……
I put a piece of chocolate in my mouth as recommended.
The sweetness soaks into my tired brain……
“Hey, Kagenon. After the test is over, why don’t we go out and have fun somewhere?”
“Eh !?”
The sudden invitation made my voice turn inside out.
Go out !? Me and Hina !? Just the two of us
!?
“Yeah ! Something like a celebration ! How about going to a delicious pancake place?”
Hina chan stares at me with sparkling eyes.
It’s not the kind of atmosphere where I can refuse…!
“Uh, yeah…well, once the test is over, then..okay?”
“Yay ! That’s a promise !”
Hina chan happily pumps her fist in excitement.
[140/100 (overflow)] Breaking through !
I don’t know why anymore !
Pancake……
A loner like me eating pancakes with a gal…
Just thinking about it makes my stomach churn.
But looking at Hina chan’s smile, I don’t feel bad.
Rather, I’m finding myself looking forward to it a little……?
No, no, first of all, the test !
In order to make my pancake date (tentative) with Hina chan a reality, I absolutely must avoid a red mark !
I downed my energy drink in one gulp and faced my modern literature textbook again.
Thanks to Hina chan’s energy and her goodies, I think I’ll be able to do a little better.
……Even if the reason for her likeability [overflow] is still not fully understood.
