Chapter 63: Extra Edition: Only Junior High School Student Are Excited About π !

TL: Akabane

***

I was having lunch with my usual group of friends after the GW holiday.

"Teaching squares is surprisingly difficult. It's as daunting as fractions."

We were talking about the educational circle Ayashiro belongs to, and the conversation naturally turned to math.

"Oh, I think I know what you mean! I still have a hard time with squaring and cubing too! I don't know where in life I'm supposed to use them!"

I wonder if this is the part of Milan that is on the same wavelength as Igarashi.

"I don't know how you were able to get into our university with that sense of weakness. But after all, being bad at something and being able to do it are two different things, aren't they? By the way, the other day I was teaching math to kids at a club activity, and one of the kids asked me a question that I couldn't answer. It's arithmetic...Yuzuriha, can you teach me?"

"Tell me anything! Math is the only thing I've got going for me! Funsu!"

I'm sure there are lots of other mottos, but, well, it's good to be confident.

"You're the princess of the math department, aren't you? Then let me ask you, what is the result of π multiplied by π?"

Huh, π is a number I hear a lot about. If you take the college entrance exam using mathematics in this country, it's impossible not to see it. But...

"Huh? What do you mean by π multiplied by π ? Oh, man. I'm a science major, but I don't get it."

I have the academic ability to get into this university. But I have no idea how to solve it. Is it possible that it is at the level of liberal arts mathematics? Well, if that's the case, Yuzuriha will be able to solve it easily. With that thought, I looked at her. There, I saw Yuzuriha's eyes wide open, her eyebrows twitching and shaking, and she was upset.

"Oh? Could it be that even you can't do math quickly?"

Ayashiro, who is a minefield type but serious at heart, seems to want to make sure she understands the answer and wants to pass it on to the child. I hoped that Yuzuriha would respond to her enthusiasm. However, Yuzuriha was different from usual, and wasn't in good spirits.

"I'm sorry. I don't understand."

"Oh? I see. Then, can you tell me the textbook that contains the answer? I'll put it together and tell the child."

"No, Ayashiro. It's not that I don't know the answer. I just don't know. I don't know! Kieee!"

Yuzuriha looked horrified, as she suddenly raised her monkey voice and began scratching her hair.

"Oh? Huh? What's wrong? Did I step on some kind of landmine?"

"No, Ayashiro, π multiplied by π ... is it a rational number, an irrational number, or a transcendental number? I don't know everything, the π multiplied by π! It's one of the unsolved problems in mathematics!!!! Kieeee!!!"

That's a hell of an answer. The term "unsolved mathematical problem" sounds so difficult.

"Oh, I see. That's too bad. What should I tell to the kids? I don't know. I'm torn."

"What do you mean by multiply 3,1415... to 3,1415...? But somehow I feel so relieved! It's so cute that even Yuzuriha doesn't understand some things!"

Ayashiro and Milan seemed to have lost interest when they heard that it was an unsolved problem. However, Yuzuriha was mumbling something and chanting quickly.

"Napier and Euler arrived at the end of transcendental numbers. Don't be fooled by rational numbers. Yes. First, you have to flush out the definition of π ... and then ... approximate it ... no! Ugh!"

Yuzuriha grunts and starts to hold her head.

"What? Yuzuriha, are you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay! For now! Let's go where the blackboard is! Yes!"

Yuzuriha quickly ate her remaining rice and left the cafeteria. We also finished our lunch and followed after Yuzuriha.

Yuzuriha found one of the empty classrooms in the lecture building and dutifully wrote up formulas and logic on the blackboard.

"Oh no, I love it. I love this kind of science gesture! I wish I could wear a lab coat and play a role like this!"

"You'd look good in it. I'd love to play a doctor with a bad attitude. Fufufu..."

Ayashiro and Milan were continuing their fluffy talk, but I wasn't worried. These two are humanities majors. Therefore, they don't understand the karma of the sciences. For science majors, "I don't know" and "I don't understand" are extremely unpleasant.

"Uuuugh. Uwaaaaa. Ganyadazaaan!"

And finally, Yuzuriha stopped drawing the equation and began to cry out in a sobbing fit.

"I can only understand up to this point. Uwaaaaaan! Fueeeeeee!"

"Ah, okay, okay. You did your best. You did great. Good, good."

I hugged Yuzuriha and patted her head. The two humanities students were puzzled by Yuzuriha who suddenly started crying.

"Eh? Why are you crying? Why don't you just skip the problems you don't understand? That's how I got through math!"

Milan is doing a good job with a very nice smile. It's the kind of smile that could be used as a poster for a prep school ad. But Yuzuriha starts to cry even more peevishly.

"It's a mathematician's job to solve problems. I'm a useless child who can't do that! Uwaaaaaaaaaaan!"

"No, no, no! Yuzuriha, it's okay! It's just that it's an unsolved mathematical problem that no one else in the world has solved! It's totally normal if Yuzuriha can't solve it!"

I hugged Yuzuriha even tighter and kissed her forehead to comfort her.

"But! But! Wheeeeee!"

Yuzuriha, who's crying like a child, was so pitiful. Then I heard a pasha from nearby.

"I just took a picture of a yakuza making a woman cry!"

"Uwaa. That's so gross! But I'm longing for this kind of feeling..."

The two were laughing while looking at their phones. Unlike Yuzuriha, they were acting as usual. That's why they're a liberal arts major!

"But it's interesting. π multiplied by π ..."

"But it's interesting, isn't it? Come to think of it, when I first learned π , I still remember the boys talking down to me with π ."

"Do you mean, Oπ boobs?"

"You know what I mean when I didn't dare to say it out loud! That's Ayashiro for you!"

"Actually, in mathematics, you have to write πO. So when I realized that if I wanted to write Oπ as a vector, I should write Oπ-->, I lost my aversion to mathematics. Having your own interests is the key to overcoming your dislike of a subject."

"Wow! That's a more sophisticated tongue-in-cheek remark! That's great! I'm impressed! I respect you for that! Hahaha!"

This kind of normal operation might be a good thing. Yuzuriha, being hit by the relaxed atmosphere of the two of them, is gradually becoming calmer and calmer.

"Ah! They just came down! It's coming down!"

"It's definitely not a good thing, is it? Haha! I know!"

"Mikai! Bend down a little! And stick your chest out!"

Milan does as she is told. The shape of Milan's breasts, which are actually rather large, is emphasized by this. Perhaps that's why Milan's face is a little red.

"This pose is a little embarrassing..."

"The embarrassing part is just beginning! One gag, π multiplied by π ! Let's do it!!!!"

Saying that, Ayashiro placed her own tits on top of Milan's tits. A boob on top of a boob. A π on top a π ! This was truly the work of a fool.

"Boo-hoo!"

Yuzuriha was erupting in my chest. I was also erupting at the stupidity of it.

"You finally laughed at me. Yuzuriha...you look better when you smile..."

"Oh, Ayashiro! Me too! Me too! Ei!"

Yuzuriha approached the two of them doing the multiplied π and stretched out, placing her tits on top of Ayashiro's!

"Me too...it's π power!"

One more idiot. And the three expectant eyes descend on me.

"Nope. Maybe you guys forgot, but I don't have boobs!"

"""?!?!?! Ah, that's right."""

I knew these guys were idiots Q.E.D.....

***Nobody knows what the π multiplied by π is?***

Yuzuriha regained her composure and we had a chat in an empty classroom. I think this is one of the best parts of college life.

"I was thinking. I thought we should start with the definition of Oπ."

"Boobs, huh? I never really thought about it seriously. Size is important, isn't it? By the way, I'm an F."

"I'm an F too. We are friends!"

Ayashiro and Milan both scribbled on the blackboard and began to write a mysterious formula, Oπ=F. The meaning of the formula was too mysterious.

"Kanata! Kanata! Those two, they are trying to exclude me, an H-cup!"

"Yuzuriha. I don't have boobs to begin with. But we are friends. It's not about whether I have boobs or not. The value of a human being is not determined by the size of her boobs."

But let's not talk about the fact that it's the men who tend to be drawn in by the size of their boobs.

"Oπ is a mystery. I still wonder, are boobs singular or plural?"

"Huh? That reminds me. If you feel the softness of only one breast, it's called a soft breast, and the cleavage between two breasts is called the cleavage of a breast. So does that mean that Oπ is both one and two?"

Milan writes Oπ = F&1&2 on the blackboard.

"There are multiple solutions. So I guess Oπ is a function, right?"

Ayashiro started writing more, y=Oπ and so on.

"I see! So Oπ is curved! I remember! See! I'm sure functions draw curves like this!"

And Milan drew a line like omega on the xy axis.

"Milan. There's something you forgot! Your boobs! They oscillate!!! That is, they oscillate periodically! In other words!

y=Oπ (but satisfying sinθ<O<cosθ) I have no idea what you're writing!

"Eh? Um? I just realized!"

"Milan! What did you notice?

"The capital "Y" looks like cleavage!"

What's with that middle-school virginity idea...

"That's it!!!"

And Ayashiro wrote Oπ--->=(ΘYΘ). It's a letter expression, but it looks like boobs. Personally, I found it very tantalizing.

"Haha! Oh man, that's really stupid! I'm super ugh! Gyahahaha! Don't you think so too Yuzuriha! Hahaha... eh...?"

Yuzuriha wasn't laughing. She just stared at the equation Oπ--->= (ΘYΘ) intently.

"I see... such an approach! Ahaha! Ahahaha! Ahahahaha!!!! Kieee!"

She rubs her forehead against the blackboard, stares at the formulas as if they were piercing holes in her, and suddenly starts laughing out loud. It seemed as if even madness resided in her. Then, with a monkey voice, she dutifully scribbles down the formulas and logic on the blackboard.

"Not enough! One blackboard doesn't have enough space! Not enough space for a truly astonishing proof! Keeeeeeee! Chestooooo!"

Yuzuriha ran out of the classroom and into an empty classroom next door. She then scribbled the rest of the formula on the blackboard there as well.

"Not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough, not enough! Kieee!!!!"

We chase after Yuzuriha as she runs through the lecture hall, making strange noises. I made sure to take pictures of the formulas on the blackboard with my phone's camera. Yuzuriha has turned into a mysterious specter-like being who finds an empty classroom and screams while scribbling on the blackboard. Then she stopped chalking in one classroom. On it was written Q.E.D.

"Aaaaahhhh! I've solved it aaaaahh! E-Everyone! Listen! I found out what π multiplied by π is!"

With a smug look on her face, Yuzuriha puffed her chest out at us. There is not a single cloud on her face.

"π multiplied by π! It's true identity is...!"

"Excuse me. May I have a word?"

A group of ladies in suits entered the classroom. The ID card they carry around their necks says "Teaching Team."

"We just received a complaint from a professor and a student. They said that there is a girl running around making strange noises and scribbling on the blackboard here and there. Is that you?"

"Graffiti?! No, no! That was a proper formula! Please take your words back!"

"I don't care what it is. I just want to hear what you have to say, so please follow me."

Then, Yuzuriha was caught firmly on both sides by the ladies and pulled along.

"Let go of me! Everyone! π multiplied by π! π multiplied by π!"

And eventually, before I could say what kind of number it was, Yuzuriha was taken away by the teaching team. I'm sure a hellish sermon is waiting for her. Poor Yuzuriha.

"Hey, did we just witness a historic moment?"

"Maybe...but I'm glad. Now we can tell the kids what kind of numbers we have."

I hate it when this is the moment of an important historical discovery. Isn't it quite a stain on humanity that Ayashiro X's dirty jokes will be preserved for posterity?

Then, after receiving a caution and being released after writing half a letter, Yuzuriha called Santenami to review the formula. Then, the theory was revised by them, and Yuzuriha's proof of π multiplied by π was put out into the world as a paper. The story of Yuzuriha, who was booed and called the princess of the mathematical world by the mass media, is another story.

**Author's musings***

The author forgot to mention that universities are research institutions in the first place.

Mounting each other in a game of caste chairs in a circle is just a bonus, they say.

Well, that was the story.

Next time, I will tell you a story about a group of four playing tennis.
