It was lunchtime, and Fujisaki and I headed for the cafeteria.\n
The classrooms for the lower class were downstairs. Sayaka was the first to arrive. When she saw Fujisaki, her eyes widened for a moment and she immediately greeted her.\n
“My brother is always indebted to you. I am his sister, Sayaka.”\n
At that moment, Fujisaki’s mouth froze.\n
“Cu”\n
Cu?\n
“Cute!!”\n\n
Fujisaki pinched Sayaka’s cheek with her hand. She was excited and her eyes were shining.\n
I looked at her again. She plays friendly at school. She wears make-up and has her hair done to the point where the teacher doesn’t pay attention to it. She doesn’t look like she’s usually sitting in front of her computer with a suspicious smile on her face.\n
“Ookusu-Kun’s little sister is such a cute girl …… amazing.”\n
Finally, Fujisaki released Sayaka.\n
“Nothing like that. I’m not as cute as Fujisaki-san.”\n
“That’s not true! Sayaka-chan is really, really cute.”\n
“Thank you very much. ……”\n
Sayaka was unusually embarrassed. She has good looks, but she is not a person who has many friends. She is the type of person who only opens up to those who are really close to her. I’m sure she’s not used to being praised.\n
“Er, What is your relationship with my brother?”\n
She looked at me and Fujisaki as if she couldn’t believe it.\n
“We are class representatives together.”\n
“I see. ……but is it okay? Watching over my studies…….”\n
It seems as if Sayaka has already let her guard down. Perhaps she has realized how good of a person Fujisaki is.\n
“Of course. Ah, we can’t stay here forever, so let’s go quickly.”\n
Sayaka nodded.\n
We stepped into the cafeteria and sat down at an empty seat in the corner. Sayaka and I had brought our own lunches, so we put them on the table. Fujisaki seemed to have bought some bread.\n
“Is it that Ookusu-kun is making your lunch too?”\n
“Ah.”\n
I pointed at my lunch box and Sayaka’s lunch box alternately.\n
“It doesn’t take much time to make one or two.\n
“Oh, that’s right. It’s the same inside.”\n
I’m embarrassed if people see too much. They’ll know I’m lazy.\n\n
Today’s lunch consisted of sausage, boiled spinach, and German potatoes. It was all leftovers from last night’s dinner.\n\n
“I always put vegetables in her lunch because she’s a picky eater. She never leaves anything behind. So as long as I put them in, she basically eats them.”\n
“Don’t say things like that in public, okay?”\n
“My bad.”\n
I shouldn’t have said all the bad things about Sayaka in front of someone she has never met before. Sayaka looked at me sharply, then shifted her gaze to Fujisaki.\n
“Fujisaki-san, are you okay with your time? Are you okay with using your time for me?”\n
“About helping with your study? I’m fine. I have time after the club activities are over.”\n
Fujisaki was surprisingly enthusiastic. Maybe she liked to teach people like this.\n
“Do you ever help Sayaka-chan study, Ookusu-kun?”\n
”Well, sometimes.”\n\n
Like yesterday, I will teach her if she asks me. But I’ve never actively tried to teach her myself. I have a lot of things to do, so I haven’t been able to take care of her that much. I’m very sorry about that.\n\n
“My brother is always so busy at home. Besides, I used to be able to manage on my own, but lately, that’s not the case. ……”\n
Fujisaki nodded her head, seemingly sympathizing with her words.\n
“That’s right. It’s true, I feel like my studies suddenly became more difficult since then. In mathematics, we went into the difficult content of differential and integral calculus.”\n
“By the way, Fujisaki-san’s grade is …….”\n
I answered for her.\n
“Last time, she was second. In short, she’s the second smartest after me.”\n
“Thanks for the casual boast. I’d be very grateful if someone like that could teach me.”\n
“How are your grades right now, Sayaka-chan? If you don’t want to say, it’s fine.”\n
It was probably because the two people in front of her were the first and second place in their grade. In a very quiet voice, she answered that she was about average. I’ll follow up on that.\n
“She’s a smart girl. She doesn’t care about top grades, so she’s just making do with that kind of score. She has the potential to go higher if she really puts her mind to it.”\n
“It’s embarrassing. stop it, really.”\n
“…… Sorry.”\n\n
I guess I wasn’t very good at following through. I kept my mouth shut.\n
I don’t have many opportunities to talk with Sayaka at school, so I don’t know how to treat her.\n
She picked up some spinach with her chopsticks in silence.\n\n
“I heard from my brother that you’re going to watch my studies from today. Is that okay?”\n
“Yes, I also wanted to talk to you about it. Where should we do it?”\n
“Let’s see, ……. If we go with a safe place, maybe the library.”\n\n
The library at our school has a study room, but it’s just a place for self-study, so you might not be able to speak much. When I said that, Sayaka nodded honestly, saying that I might be right.\n\n
“Why don’t you go to a family restaurant….or do it at our place?”\n
“Eh!”\n\n
Fujisaki was the one who reacted to my words. For some reason, Sayaka bowed her head.\n
” ……I’m sorry about my brother. I’m going to give a stern talking-to later about this massive ulterior motive statement.”\n\n
Then, Fujisaki looked flustered.\n
“I don’t mind. I don’t mind going to Ookusu-kun’s house. I think it’s only one stop away from my house. …… But if it bothers you, we can go to a family restaurant.”\n
“…… Family restaurant, please.”\n\n
After thinking about it, it’s not a good idea to do it at home. Sayaka’s room is pretty much full of her hobbies.\n
“Then let’s do that. Can you tell me your line?”\n
“Yes.”\n\n
From there, the conversation went without a hitch. I looked at my lunch box and noticed that my chopsticks were not moving at all. I rushed to eat some rice.\n\n
