After school, library.
“Alright then, let’s start studying.”
It’s not test week yet, and the library is supposed to be open after school as a study room, but not many people know about it, and the only ones present are me and Matsumura-san.
I’m the one who wants to ask how this happened.
After that, for some reason, Matsumura-san’s strong will and the fact that I, as a man, could kill two birds with one stone by having a pretty girl teach me how to study, there was no way I could refuse, so here we are in this situation.
“Tahara-kun, what are you weakest at?”
“English, I guess.”
“Well, let’s start with English. First, try solving this problem to see what you can’t do.”
When in the countryside, follow the countryside.
I stopped questioning the situation, let the water flow and solved the problems pointed out in the text book handed to me.
“I did it.”
“Wow, you’re fast~. Let’s see.”

The docter treated my wound right away
This doctor transplanted my organ.
After reading out the question and my answer, Matsumura-san was silent for a moment before opening her mouth again.
“.. the doctor is a mad scientist! Scary, scary.”
“I didn’t think so. I was quite certain about it.”
“Didn’t you think it was funny when you read it? The answer is that the doctor patched my wounds right away.”
“Well, I just didn’t understand this one. The next question should be better.”
“I wonder if that’s true~. Let’s see.”
[Translate the following sentences into Japanese.]
My sister is in the front row in the picture.
My sister slowly turned the fruit into a picture.”
“When did your sister become a magician?”
“No?”
“No, front means before, not fruit. My sister is in the front row in the picture.
How did you get through the test so far?”
I don’t know whether to be surprised or appalled by my English performance, but she says something like that to me with a face that I don’t understand.
Even if you say that, I can’t say anything because I’ve passed all the tests I’ve taken so far by memorizing the texts overnight.
I was then lectured by Matsumura-san not only on English, which is like a demon, but on other subjects as well.
“….. Why is X equal to 4? And why do you get that formula in the first place ……?”
“Because you used this formula earlier.”
“‘That’s because this shape is a circle, this time it’s a triangle.”
“I see~. So it’s this formula then?”
“That’s right. You must remember the formula before the test.”
“But even if you know the formula, you won’t get to the point where you can use it.”
That’s why they arrive at the brainy method of memorising the formula for the regular test.
In response to my line, Matsumura-san said, ‘It can’t be helped,’ and took out a notebook from her bag.
“I’ll lend you this. jajaaan, the secret notebook.”
I was stunned by Matsumura-san’s tsukkomi-like attitude, and she continued to speak.
“This is the secret notebook that summarises the things the teacher said she would bring up in class, the problems I thought would come up, and the formulas!”
“Hee~, as expected top of my class.”
“Well, I’m not good at studying either, so I have to do something like this. If you understand the formula for this time and the questions that are likely to come up, maybe? Absolutely? you should be able to solve it.”
“That’s a big help.”
Then I switched on my studies again and faced the problems silently.
“It’s almost time for school to close, so let’s go home.”
As I was concentrating on my studies, Matsumura-san spoke to me.
I was studying well and it was getting to be a good time, so
Is it that time already? yeah.”
I was surprised to see the sky from the library window was tinged orange, so we put away our tools and headed home.
“Thank you so much for today. Matsumura-san’s teaching was easy to understand, and I think I’ll be able to manage the test this time.”
“Really? I’m glad to hear that.”
As we walked home side by side, we talked about our impressions of today’s study and approached an intersection.
“My house is this way, which way is Matsumura-san’s? If you want, I can give you a lift home as it’s late.”
“I’m going this way. So kind~, I’ll have you give me a lift then.”
When I asked that as a way of thanking her, Matsumura said that with a smile on her face that for some reason seemed to have an underlying meaning.
“Why did you want to teach me to study, Matsumura-san?”
“Hmm? Why?”
I ask Matsumura-san, and she looks into my face and asks.
“No, I don’t stand out in class, and the only thing I’ve talked to Matsumura-san about is shcool communication, right? In contrast, Matsumura-san is cute and popular with everyone ……”
She doesn’t fit next to me. I was about to say that and quit.
Then she looked at me and answered.
“I don’t really have a reason, but if I had to say, I guess it’s because I wanted to get to know you. See, we were in the same class last year, but we hardly ever spoke. But I knew you were a kind person. And …….”
“And?”
“Inside …….”
“Inside?”
“No, I heard that Tahara-kun broke up with Arimura-san the other day. I was wondering why~”
I felt like Matsumura-san had misled me somehow, but I didn’t dig into it too deeply and answered her question honestly, and when I heard it, she took pity on me.
I had recently almost forgotten about my ex-girlfriend, so I remembered some bad memories, but on the other hand, I felt that I could relax somewhat by having someone of the opposite gender listen to me and affirm me, instead of someone of the same gender.
As we talked, we arrived at Matsumura-san’s house in no time at all.
