After the test period, when the test was over and school ended at noon, Nanahoshi invited me to the rooftop and I reluctantly went with her.
Then, Nanahoshi opened her arms to release all the tension in her body and said.
“Ahh~! It’s finally over~!”
Apparently, she was very happy that the testing period was over.
Then, continuing in her high tension, she says.
“I mean, I mean..! Magiri is a genius!”
──── Eh?
…… I’m, a genius?
I’m quite shocked to be told the number one word I don’t want to be told……. How did that happen?
This test, I should have answered the questions in a way that I would have scored roughly average as I have been ────, or rather, the test results shouldn’t have been released yet in the first place.
Does that mean that there were other factors that would have made me a genius?
As I was instantly making various guesses, Nanahoshi said in a loud voice.
“Thanks to Magiri’s teaching skills, I understood a lot more maths than usual, so I’m sure I’ll be able to avoid a red mark! Really, Magiri is a genius!~”
I was very relieved to hear those words.
The word genius that Nanahoshi just said is not genius in terms of ability value, but genius in terms of the flow of conversation and the so-called “groove” of the conversation.
“That’s because you remembered it well”
“That’s not true! I’ve never been good at math for a long time, but when Magiri taught me it, I understood it easily! Magiri read what I didn’t understand and made it easy to understand. Is it because you taught me? I’m really glad Magiri was here!~”
Nanahoshi said with a very bright smile.
It’s a …… strange feeling.
Can my ability help someone and make someone smile?
“……”
I was on the verge of feeling somewhat positive about this, but then I remembered what had happened in the past and suppressed that feeling.
“Magiri? You look pale, are you not feeling well?”
“It’s nothing.”
“Hey, …….”
“What is it?”
Nanahoshi suddenly opened her mouth with a serious expression on her face, and when I asked her that, Nanahoshi came closer to me and said,
“Why do you pretend it’s nothing when you’re having a hard time?”
“…… I don’t────”
“The person I care about was also like Magiri just now,…… and he was obviously pale, but why are you trying to keep it to yourself like that,…… saying it’s nothing?”
“……”
There is an answer to that, ──── but
I can’t answer that here and now.
“As I said before, it’s really nothing, it’s just a mistake,…… but more importantly, it’s the end of the test and I’m tired too, so it’s time for me to go home and get some rest.”
Saying that, I ended the conversation a little forcefully and left the rooftop.
“Magiri,…… really, you look just like Toiro-san,…….”
──── I went home and sat down on a chair in my room.
“…I was hit in a pretty painful place today.”
The part that I would say is the core reason I’m pretending to be mediocre, and I never thought I’d be hit by Nanahoshi
“However, I won’t have anything to do with Nanahoshi this Saturday and Sunday, so I can finally enjoy some relaxing days for the first time in a while.”
The moment I muttered that, my phone’s notification sounded.
“……..”
I looked through the screen of my phone and saw a message from Nanahoshi to me as Toiro.
…… Now, as I cannot ignore Nanahoshi, I open the message from her.
“Toiro-san! I have to send it to the producer soon to find out when we can launch, when can we go?”
Oh, that reminds me, I have to attend the launch.
I looked carefully at the tickets for the swim competition and saw that the date was next Saturday, so I thought that a holiday would be more convenient than a weekday for the launch. ────
“Next Sunday, please.”
I sent a message to Nanahoshi
Nanahoshi immediately replied with a message.
“Okay~! I’ll tell the producer!”
After that exchange, the message between me and Nanahoshi ended.
Next Saturday and Sunday will definitely be busy, but I decided to spend this Saturday and Sunday relaxing for such next Saturday and Sunday.
