How to ruin a romantic comedy - episode 9
〈 9Tue 〉 Summer vacation, that night
* * *
Tetsuya and I have a big sexual difference..
If he's average to below average, I'm at the end..
There was such a difference in level, so there was no way things would work out if we studied together..
While I was thinking this, I couldn't hide my surprise when Miyuki skillfully provided eye-level education..
She left Tetsuya and me separately and taught us each study at our own level..
He didn't stutter, and when Tetsuya asked him a question, he answered without hesitation and quickly..
In the meantime, he took care of me and reviewed this semester's classes, and I understood so well that even I, who was empty-headed, could follow along..
I knew that your passion for education and teaching methods were great, but isn’t this too much of a cheat??
I think I will succeed as a teacher in the future..
Miyuki, who had been giving personalized tutoring for almost two hours without a break, seemed to be a little exhausted and put her hands on the tatami mat and leaned her upper body back slightly..
“You can just take a break for about 20 minutes?”
“You're a teacher, so you can do whatever you want..”
‘The corners of Miyuki's mouth slightly turned up, as if she really liked the word 'teacher'..
Her beige bra is faintly visible under her white t-shirt..
It's not as good as the school nurse, but it's a big deal..
The urge to massage doesn't go away.
I came to my senses by blinking once and stood up..
“I want some juice?”
“That's okay?”
“Since I am learning for free, I have to give it to them. Don't keep asking me questions like that, but do whatever you want while you're in this house. Take out your own drink and eat it....”
I trailed off and looked at Tetsuya..
We should show this guy some favor too. That's how you get points from Miyuki..
“Miura, don’t be too pretentious and take it easy..”
But nothing good comes out of it..
Tetsuya timidly expressed his gratitude..
“huh. Thanks, Matsuda.”
I put three cups on a small tray and poured some orange juice, then walked over to the round table and put down the tray..
Then Miyuki smiled and said.
“Drink well, Matsuda-kun..”
Miyuki took the juice to her mouth and immediately began to clear her throat..
Her face is extremely innocent, but the way she swallows is so sexy..
No matter how many times I think about it, it’s right for me to have it..
“Matsuda, are you exercising??”
As I opened my eyes and was admiring Miyuki, I heard Tetsuya's beggarly voice..
I turned my head and answered.
“I did it a long time ago, but why? Do you want to exercise?”
“No... I said that because my arm muscles and chest muscles are strong..”
He said no, but he clearly wanted to do it..
I guess he wants to show off in front of Miyuki.?
It's a pity, but there's no way I can teach you how to exercise..
On the internet, look up things like the ratio of coal complexes and the lower part of the body, and tell them to do it themselves..
“If you used to do it in the past... you've stopped now.?”
Miyuki’s next question.
I nodded grimly..
“uh.”
“can you tell me why?”
“It's no longer fun.”
Let's look at each other with slightly sad eyes..
There's something going on, but I don't want to tell you, so I pretend to be vague.
“Ah... yes. What does Matsuda do on the weekend??”
Miyuki, who was taken aback by my acting, changed the topic with an apologetic expression..
I'll get closer to Miyuki later, and when I'm alone with her, I'll tell her if she asks..
“On the weekend? I'm with the kids or I'm at home.”
“kids? Are you talking about Watanabe and his group? The kids in that circle... the name of the circle is clear....”
“Spree Circle.”
“Yeah... Supreme... there are a lot of really bad students there. Matsuda-kun also belongs there.?”
“that's right. I belong with Takashi and some of her friends..”
“why?”
When immature Ken Matsuda became famous after causing an accident, I received an offer to join the company..
I didn't want to go in.
And it will be out soon.
I just use it for likeability during events with you..
“well. It just happened to be like that..”
“.... By any chance... Matsuda-kun, I'm proud to belong there.?”
“no. Not really.”
“Then you can come out. If you stay there, only Matsuda-kun will lose out....”
“Are you saying this out of genuine concern??”
“of course...! That's a place only students who don't really have to worry about life go in...! Matsuda-kun is trying to change himself, but such a place is...”
Miyuki stopped speaking and looked straight at me..
She saw my grinning smile and spoke cautiously..
“Of course, you might think I'm just being crazy....”
“He said he was sincerely worried. I don't think so.”
“Well, then... wouldn’t it be right for me to come out?...?”
“It's hard to get out.”
“What does it mean to be difficult...? Have you ever been threatened or something??”
“Looks like I'm the one who's going to be intimidated?”
“Well, that's not true... but if there's anything difficult, let me know....”
“You were going to tell the professor?”
“The Supreme Circle is a place that the Academy is also keeping a close eye on... Matsuda-kun knows well that it is a place where many accidents occur... right? Some kind of decision may be made soon...”
What kind of punishment would it be expulsion? At least it's a suspension.
Thank you for the little information I didn't know when playing Dokiaka..
Then I shouldn't be there.?
I think I should use it quickly as soon as the vacation is over....
Before that, I need to increase Miyuki's favorability rating..
“thank you for your concern.”
Miyuki was about to say something more when she heard my serious tone, but she closed her mouth..
Her face brightened a little, as if she realized what I had decided..
“Yeah... I should study after I'm all rested....?”
“okay.”
**
“I was surprised that you followed along today..”
After seeing Miyuki and Tetsuya off to the front gate, I burst out laughing at Miyuki's words..
“Did you think it would take a few minutes before you hit me??”
“I have to be honest?”
“no. just go.”
“huh. I'll see you tomorrow.”
“Do it tomorrow too?”
“If you don't study every day, you'll forget everything. It's better to do it every day until Matsuda-kun develops the basics and Tetsuya-kun develops application skills..”
I scratched my head with an expression like, “What kind of kid is this?”.
Of course, the inside was completely opposite to the outside..
“It's no joke...”
“Are you tired? That’s because you learn from nothing. It'll get fun after a while.”
Some people have fun studying?
That's right... it feels like a research subject..
Anyway, it's bittersweet to leave without taking a shower..
At best, we prepared an open-air bath and even made a peep hole..
“See you tomorrow then.”
“huh. We'll go. Take care of your plants properly. You need to review.?”
“okay.”
“I have a test tomorrow?”
“I knew it...”
I waved my hands with an expression of disgust, exchanged a few trivial words with Tetsuya, and closed the front door..
Then, along with Miyuki's roaring laughter, the sound of two sets of footsteps was heard, which gradually faded away..
I stuck my head out over the wall and watched Miyuki and Tetsuya slowly moving away..
The reason I let them go is because of the event..
A situation was created where Miyuki, who couldn't sleep, was playing alone on the swing at a small playground near her house, and I planned to intervene..
Because you studied with me today, the future may be different and that event may not happen..
But even so, you have to go.
Now is the time to maximize Miyuki's favorability, so shouldn't we do everything we can?.
After thinking, I looked at the time..
It's seven o'clock. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer and leave after the sun has completely set..
And I should call Takashi to meet him..
Because I need an excuse to tell Miyuki..
**
Houses facing a narrow road are lined up at intervals..
Should I say something peaceful? Miyuki's neighborhood was as quiet as our neighborhood..
After quietly looking around the neighborhood, I headed to the playground..
There was no one in the dark playground..
It was natural. The playground across the street was bigger than this one, and there were street lights..
After satisfying my appetite, I sat down on the playground swing and waited for Miyuki..
Even after such a long time, Miyuki did not come..
As I thought before, did the event change because of my intervention??
It's very possible, but I believe in the God who sent me here..
God, like me, got angry while playing Dokiaka..
That's why you sent me here. Become a real hero.
I was kicking sand while consoling myself like that, but as soon as I heard a sign of people coming from the entrance of the playground, I quickly pretended to get on the swing..
“.... uh? There was someone...”
Miyuki's voice was heard from the entrance..
As expected, I, not Tetsuya, was the true protagonist of this Tokiaka..
Feeling happy inside, I stopped the swing, looked at Miyuki's silhouette reflected in the streetlight, and said:.
“Hanazawa?”
“Yes...?”
Miyuki was very embarrassed..
I guess I didn't expect to hear my voice in a place like this..
After being confused for a while, she stuck her head inside the playground and asked.
“By any chance... is it Matsuda-kun??”
“uh. why are you here?”
Miyuki walked quickly in front of me..
She looked at my face here and there as if checking to see if it was really Ken Matsuda, and said in surprise..
“why are you here...?”
“I just asked you.”
“Ah... well... this is my neighborhood....”
“Your neighborhood? It's the neighborhood where you live?”
As I pretended to be shocked, Miyuki slowly shook her head and pointed to a house with her finger..
“Yeah... that's my house.”
“okay...? I didn't know.”
“Now Matsuda-kun, answer me. What on earth are you doing here...? I wasn't resting at home?”
“I was planning to meet Takashi, but I thought it wouldn't be fun so I went back and stopped by here for a moment because the atmosphere was quiet. Because she has something to think about.”
At the mention of Takashi, Miyuki's expression became tinged with disgust, as if she were seeing a cockroach..
Our poor Takashi, stop acting like a brat and get on with your life..
That's not what I'm saying... but it's pitiful..
“Does Takashi Watanabe live around here too? Or maybe the meeting place was just around here.?”
“It's the latter, but the meeting place is a bit further from here..”
“Ah... thank goodness...”
Miyuki, truly relieved, got on the swing next to me..
Then he pointed to the ringing cell phone in my pants pocket..
“I'm not calling you?”
“It's a text.”
“Sounds like an urgent text? No way, it's Takashiya Watanabe?”
“that's right. I'm chewing on you whining about why you're not coming. I want to see you?”
“Oh, no... I don't want to see it....”
Even though I heard Miyuki's words, I took out my cell phone from my pocket and showed it to her..
And Miyuki stared intently at the screen even though she said she didn't want to see it..
I'm naturally curious about other people's cell phones..
“What does it say??”
“.... Why don't you show up at the meeting place? Rain, there are so many slang words that I can't read them....”
At this rate, I would have put aside any remaining doubts.?
This is why you need to get insurance.
I giggled and put my phone in my pocket..
Then Miyuki placed her arms on her knees, leaned her upper body forward, and asked.
“But what is the food for thought I mentioned earlier??”
“that? It was just a thought about the future. What should I do with my life in the future... same trivial thoughts.”
“ah...”
“Are you just thinking about that, Matsuda-kun? I was going to say?”
Did I hit the nail on the head??
Miyuki's shoulders flinched..
“Oh, no....?”
“No, what? You got it right. You're the type of person who can't lie.”
Miyuki let out a shallow sigh at those words..
“I'm sorry if you feel bad.”
“Why are you apologizing for that? You may be nice, but the problem is that you are too nice..”
“okay...? In Matsuda-kun’s opinion, I think I’m kind.?”
“To be honest, yes. A style that can easily be scammed.”
“Oh what... Then it doesn't mean he's nice, it means he's dull..”
Miyuki let out a light laugh and kicked the ground and pushed the swing..
And then he continued..
“Rather than already thinking about the future, how about focusing on the present? We're still in first grade. There's still plenty of time.”
“Isn’t that a comment made by lazy people? We are still young, we are still young... people who regret it as time goes by.”
“What I meant was that there was plenty of time to lay a good foundation. If Matsuda continues to do what he has to do, I think the future will unfold naturally..”
“what am i supposed to do?”
“For now, I guess I have to study. I reviewed what I learned today?”
“I didn't do it.”
“oh my god? If you get everything wrong on the test tomorrow, I will punish you..”
“Have them tie you up and whip you? I like that kind of thing.”
If Tetsuya had said this, Miyuki would have scolded him with a straight face..
But when I, who usually speaks and acts lightly, Miyuki burst into laughter..
Even this wouldn't have been possible if we weren't close friends, but since we became quite close after the pervert incident, Miyuki easily ignored my words..
“What do you say... I can't do it.”
The atmosphere is not bad. Let's just stay like this.
I kicked the ground like Miyuki and talked to her for a long time while moving the swing..
The main topic was studying, but I also made light jokes that fit my image..
Just enough not to cross the line..
And Miyuki, fortunately, liked my jokes..
