Vol 1 Chapter 17 (2/2)
Me: “I only did what anyone would do. Because, aren’t we cla.s.smates?”
Cla.s.smate: “Um… would you mind becoming my friend from today on?”
Me: “Of course not! Till death do us part!”
The other cla.s.smates come rus.h.i.+ng over.
Everyone: “You’re amazing, Aika-sama! Please, by all means, become our friend too!”
Aika: “Yeah, of course! Till death do us part!”
Everyone: “Aah, Aika-sama!”
Everyone: “You’re much more wonderful than Reiko-sama!”
Me: “Is that so~”
“WHAT’S THE FLIPPING IDEA—?!”
I tsukkomi’ed loudly.
“The heck’s with that abnormal comprehension ability of that cla.s.smate?! And why that setting to begin with?!”
“But wouldn’t you want to save your cla.s.smates in a cool pinch like that?”
“Are you a p.u.b.escent boy or what?!”
“You’re being annoying…”
While Aika pouted her lips, she flipped through the pages.
“Here, that one’s something more familiar.”
March 2nd, Cla.s.sroom
A: “The exam phase commences today, doesn’t it?”
B: “What should I do? I hardly studied at all.”
A: “My…”
“Oh, that one actually happens.”
“I took notes of that real conversation, you know?”
“That kinda talk happens everywhere, doesn’t it…?”
“Among commoners too? ——So people who say they didn’t study can’t get good grades, unless… they’re lying.”
Well, though it’s also possible that someone who really hasn’t studied gets good grades.
“And so I added myself to that conversation.”
“How?”
A: “The exam phase commences today, doesn’t it?”
B: “What should I do? I hardly studied at all.”
A: “My…”
Me: “Wait! She’s lying! You mustn’t be deceived!”
A: “EEEH—?!”
Me: “Confess at once! You did study a lot, didn’t you?!”
B: “…Yes, I did. (Squats down heartbroken)”
A: “Why would you…?”
Me: “And compared to her, I didn’t study at all for real! I’ll fail this one! Guaranteed!”
A: “Please be my friend!”
Me: “Of course! Till death do us part!”
A: “You’re much more wonderful than Reiko-sama!”
Me: “Is that so~”
“NOT HAPPENING———————!”
I tsukkomi’ed by leaps and bounds.
“Why’s the plot always taking these sudden turns?! Is that how your literary style works?! Also, your ’till death do us part’ is way too much!”
“How’s this one strange now?!”
“In a lot of ways! But for now, do you really wanna become friends with others by that reasoning?!”
I handed her the drill back.
“Ha? What are you saying? Of course I wanna.”
Aika reread it——
“WHAT’S WITH THIS PERSON?! I DON’T WANT THAT!”
…She’s hopeless.
I need to hurry up and do something.
