CH 6

I was busy studying for a test right now. I realized that I had midterms in three days. I kept on saying to myself, “I’m still okay, I’m still okay” and next thing I knew, I was in the middle of this….

I wanted to punch the me of that day who was relaxed even though it was one week before the test.

“So that’s why I invited you to do it with me that day, okay?”

“I thought it was still okay.”

“And is it still going to be okay….”

I was hit right where it hurts and my voice leaked out. Fortunately, it was only Friday, so I knew I could make it if I worked hard over the next three days.

“Damn it, there are a lot of parts that I’m not good at this time.”

I thought I was talking to myself, but when Kaede heard that, she looked at me with an expression of inspiration.

Ji~~~ She was staring at me.

“What? Do I have something on me?”

“No, umm… If you’re having trouble, I can teach you, okay?”

“Eh? That’s fine, You’ve got your own studies to do.”

“That’s okay! Besides, when I teach others, I can also learn.”

She continued, “It’s killing two birds with one stone,” he said, and for some reason, she started teaching me.

Study materials and textbooks were spread out on the table, and we proceeded to study for the test.

Whenever I didn’t understand something, I asked Kaede to help me understand it.

“Kaede.., I don’t understand this part.”

“Which one?”

Kaede then moved her body next to me and brushed her side hair back over her ear.

At that moment, the smell of her shampoo reached my nose.

I thought we were using the same shampoo, but when Kaede used it, I was so dazed by the lovely scent that I couldn’t concentrate on my studies.

“Hey! Did you hear me right?”

“…I didn’t hear.”

“Honesty is good.”

Kaede chuckled as she said this.

“Hayasaka-kun, you can do most of it, no problem, right?”

“No, there’s one subject I have a problem with ….”

I handed Kaede the test paper for the classical studies at the end of the first semester. Then Kaede, who was startled, blinked her big eyes repeatedly.

“What? You’re lying, 14 points is…”

“I don’t understand it.”

“This is what happens when you sleep in class.”

“You’re supposed to sleep in classical’s class.”

“I understand that you get sleepy, but sleeping during class is not allowed, okay?”

“It’s Furubyashi’s fault to talk like a lullaby.”

“Don’t blame the teacher.”

Looking at Kaede who was astonished, I sarcastically said, “The number one in the grade won’t understand,” and turned away.

“Then let’s study the classics.”

“I don’t want to…”

“It’s no good.”

“I really hate it, I really hate it, so I’m ditching the classics.”

“Don’t be such a child.”

She called me a child, and I felt ashamed of myself and brushed my bangs.

However, I was the type of person who was very clear about what I didn’t want to do, so I was really trying to get rid of the classics.

“… Then, I understand!”

“Is it okay if I don’t do classics?”

“You’re wrong! If you study the classics and get 80 points or more, I’ll give you a reward!”

“Reward…?”

I felt she was not lying when I saw Kaede smiling.

“What exactly?”

“Well, if it’s something I can do… ah, but there’s a limit, okay?”

I muttered, “I know” with a wry smile. I didn’t want to do anything that Kaede didn’t want to do, because she was living with me, and I didn’t want to get into trouble later on.

“Well, I look forward to it.”

“So, the classics..”

“You’re going to teach me, aren’t you, Sensei?”

“Please leave it to me!” Looking at Kaede who puffed out her chest and said confidently, she somehow reminded me of my ex-girlfriend….

Come to think of it, I was getting pretty tired of her bragging to me about everything… If I didn’t listen to her for a bit, she would say, “Do you hate me?”

I read in some novel that love makes people stupid, and it may be true.

(T/N: I totally agree)

Because you make fun of people, you fall in love with that woman, and as a result, you are betrayed and traumatized.

(I…Why is sheーーーー)

When I was lost in my thoughts, something soft hit my face. It was more correct to say that it was pressed against my face.

Then the softness against my face and the faint sweet scent caused my body to freeze.

After a few seconds, I finally realized what was happening.

I was being hugged by Kaede. The soft feeling was that of Kaede’s magnificent b*****s.

“Eh… what are you doing!?”

“You…You had a very painful look on your face.”

“Are you okay?” I replied with a small “I’m fine,” and closed my eyes, feeling the warmth of Kaede’s chest.
