Oh NO!? Poor sweet Honoka! How could you suddenly reject her like this Saki!?
âIf you are worried that supplementary lessons wonât be enough, I guess that means you arenât too confident in the basicsâŚâŚ.what was your score?â
âZero points!â
ââEh?ââ My voice harmonized with Sakiâs.Â
âWhich test did you get zero points on?â
âAll of them!â
âO-OhâŚâŚâ
Saki was just as amazed as I was and didnât utter a single sound in response. Hmm, super rare image get! âŚâŚwas unfortunately not the case as I had to cement this look of hers into my memory instead.
âBut you received perfect scores, yet youâre already talking about working even harder? Any kind of check mark would be a fool to try and mark your papers like this! Amazing! Could you both be heroes!?â
âNo, what kind of useless heroes would that make us? We would immediately give up without being able to resolve a childrenâs quarrel if that was our only powerâŚâŚ Honoka, were you really unable to solve any of these problems?â
âNot exactly. I looked over the test for about five minutes, and when I decided it was impossible, I took a nap.â
âSo you gave up almost immediatelyâŚâŚ.â
Mentally speaking, sheâs pretty strong in another senseâŚâŚ However, I cannot afford to let this cute, ditzy girl go. Because she is a beautiful girl!
âI can teach you for the time being, so letâs start from the very beginning.â
âWoohoo!â
âOh~?â
Unfortunately Saki seemed to have a problem with my decision.
âIs something wrong?â
âI was just thinking I should head home. I am sure your help would be more than enough for Hono-chan.â
âAh, hold on a minute!â
Saki was about to reach for her bag, so I hurriedly cut her off. What is this? All my harem members have to be good friends with each other. Like hell am I giving up on my harem plan this early in the game!
âWhat is it Yuri?â
Saki must be a tsundere. Judging by her flickering sideways glances, Iâm sure she wanted me to stop her like this. Now how do I improve her moodâŚâŚ.what do I sayâŚâŚ
âI need youâ
What the hell was that~!? You idiot~! Why would I think that was my best move when weâre in the middle of an argument!?
âR-ReallyâŚâŚ.?â
Why is it working!? This girl definitely just wanted to do some couple play! Okay, letâs just calm down! Right! Breath in, breath out! Use the deep breathing exercises you know!
âAhâ, look hereââ
Honoka with the lifeline. Now, how is she going to convince SakiâŚâŚ.?â
âYuu alone is good enough to teach meâ
And sheâs just adding fuel to the fire!
Saki raised her eyebrows and met her gaze with Honokaâs upturned eyes.
âWha~t was that~? Hono-chan. Youâre saying youâll take Yuri from me~?â
And then moved directly in front of Honoka.
Â
âYou said you were returning home. Weâll be peacefully studying together, so how about meekly disappearing?â
âBoth of you calm down!â
Their glares were locked between each other. Oops, the first fight this earlyâŚâŚ? Where did I mess upâŚâŚ\nThe hustle and bustle of the classroom sounded a world away. Sparks and crackles flew between them. Ah, will my yuri harem dream really end before it could even beginâŚâŚ?
While I was busy trying to figure out where I went wrong, the sound of a deep breath cut through the tension.
âAhahahahahahaha!â
âUfufufuâ
Honoka abruptly began laughing with Saki softly giggling alongside her.
âEh?â
Hmmm? What happened? What spurred this development?
âAh geez~, putting on a charade as soon as we meet. I knew we would get along.â
âPretend fight~â
Both of them gave me the same harmonized smirk. Huh? Huhuh?
âWhatâs wrong Yuu? Your mouth is hanging open?â
âYou twoâŚâŚwerenât you just not getting along?â
âItâs all your fault though~. Saying such a crappy lineâ
âO-Oh. So it was wrongâŚâŚâ
I suddenly felt exhausted after hearing Honokaâs answer. Well, I also thought randomly saying that kind of line out of nowhere was ridiculous. So I guess itâs fine so long as they really were just actingâŚâŚ
âIt was fun when I realized what was going on.â
âReally, play-fights are good every now and then.â
âAgreed~â
Saki and Honoka grasped each otherâs hands and playfully jumped in place while agreeing with each other. However if you suddenly start up like that, my heart is liable to stop from the cuteness, so if you could show me some pityâŚâŚ.
Â
âBut Saki is right. It would be a bit embarrassing to need two people to teach one person, so Iâll go grab a helper.â
We soon got a new proposal from Honoka. Iâm not sure it makes much sense for the student to be grabbing a helperâŚâŚwell who cares about the details so long as itâs a beautiful girl?
Honoka sprinted to the front of the classroom, and just as I was registering that she was talking to a girl whose seat was at the front of the classroom, she was forcing the girl up to her feet and dragging her back here. That girl wasâŚâŚ
âThis girl failed too, so please take good care of usââ
The girl squirmed in place, and I immediately recognized those dewy eyes hidden by bangs as belonging to our classâs secretary, Otori.
