「You don’t really want to go to the beach, do you?」
「No, I want to go so badly.」
In the air conditioned living room of our house, there are Shinozaki, who spreads a pure white blank sheet of assignment paper on the desk, me, Mei, Yuna, and Wakamiya-san.
「Then, why didn’t you tell me the order in which we will do my assignments?」
「Watching you study is Wakamiya-san’s responsibility.」
「Kazuya-kun is always the person who does assignments by the last minute. I thought I should start teaching him once I’m done with all my student council tasks.」
「I didn’t even remember that we had an assignment until he reminded me when we were at the pool.」
「Eh? Are you serious?」
Wakamiya-san looked at Shinozaki as if she just heard something incredible.
Come to think of it, I did tell him that time that I’m done with my assignments.
「Oniichan, I don’t get this.」
While I was dealing with Shinozaki, Yuna, who’s next to me, screamed. I don’t know kage bunshin technique yet so I can’t teach the two of them at the same time.
「Yuna-chan, if it’s okay with you, why don’t you let me teach you? I’m not that smart so I think I can figure out why you’re stuck there.」
「Eh? Are you sure, Mei-san?」
「Yes, of course. So, which is it you don’t understand?」
「Hey Amane, don’t look at them as if you were burning of jealousy.」
No, I’m only like this because it is easier to teach Yuna. At least I can explain to her why she was stuck unlike this completely blank paper of Shinozaki.
「I’ll take care of the easy parts but Amane should guide me on the difficult parts.」
Seriously, how can you even expect me to teach you that?
We have to submit that the day after tomorrow. It’s a modern literature assignment and reading the 70 pages story alone will already take time. In the worst case, I’ll just write down half the answers and have him finish it at home.
And that’s not all. There are assignments for mathematics, Japanese history, chemistry, and English too. Japanese history can be completed by reading the textbook so I’ll have him do them at home along with the modern literature. He’ll probably have to do an all-nighter on the day we plan to go to the beach, which is the day before the first day of school but that’s okay.
If we don’t go to the beach, we can have a little more time but going to the beach seems to be the priority of everyone here aside from me and Yuna, who’s not going to the beach.
「Oniichan, where are you going?」
「My room. I’m going to get my notes and assignments that can be helpful to Yuna.」
「Oh, I see.」
As soon as I stepped out of the living room, the heat and humidity hit me as if I was outside. I walked up the stairs a little faster and grabbed my notebook and assignments on my desk.
「Ah, comfortable.」
As I walked into the living room with my notebook and assignments, I was greeted with a comfortable air.
Thank you, civilization. I don’t care about global warming since it’s more important for me to be comfortable. It’s so hot that I’m going to have to say goodbye to this world if I can’t rely on civilization and I don’t think I can sacrifice it for the sake of the earth. Doesn’t that mean that having people not using air conditioner will decrease the number of people that don't care for the world? So, the real solution to global warming is to kill the human race?
Yeah, I’ve certainly turned smarter in a room with air conditioning. I’m doing so well to be able to think like a fool today.
「Mei, you can use this to help Yuna.」
「Ah, okay, thank you.」
「By the way, you guys are eating my ice cream while I’m away. And I’m sure I only bought 4 of them.」
「Yeah, that’s why we only eat them when oniichan left.」
That’s terrible. I’m the nice guy who spent money on them. Though I’m not sure if it’s my fault that I just put them in the freezer. I mean, I went upstairs for Yuna and Shinozaki, right? If Yuna was not my little sister, I would have punched her a few times.
「Is that so? Sorry, Souta.」
「Oh, well, it’s fine. At least you were enjoying them, right?」
「Yeah. Why don’t you taste some of mine?」
Mei scooped some ice cream on a spoon and tried to feed it to me.
「Okay, let me have a bite.」
When I open my mouth and bite it, the ice cream melts and spreads in my mouth. It’s delicious but I’m bothered with how Yuna is looking at me so I initiated to start the study session again.
「So, which part are you answering?」
「Math. I thought I’ll have him do Japanese history and modern literature at home. By the way, I didn’t know it was Amane-kun’s ice cream. Sorry.」
「Sorry. You don’t mind us eating some of your food, right?」
「It’s fine. Also, it was Yuna who gave them to you, right?」
I opened the match problem book and wrote down the explanations for the more difficult problems on a paper.
「Come to think of it, did something happen between Amane and Hirose? They’re closer than ever.」
「You were watching?」
「No, I just happened to catch a glimpse.」
This guy was sitting with his back on the table so how could he accidently catch a glimpse?
「Let’s talk about it later. Eat your ice cream quickly. Your hands is still stuck on ice cream, Kazuya-kun.」
「Ah, yeah.」
Shinozaki returned to his task after he was reminded by Wakamiya-san. Well, to save time, I won’t tsukomi that Wakamiya-san is spoiling him by letting him lie on her lap.
