Volume 1 Chapter 7 Part5 (1/2)
Horikita was sullen in the reat if she cutely puffed up her cheeks and cutely hit a boy's chest when she pouted
I say that, but she's completely expressionless and silent She doesn't even acknowledge my existence
But if I turned ht take out her compass… School ended and then it was after school
”Did everyone gather for the study group?”
The first words she said to roup She also spoke in a way that heavily i
”… Kushi+da will bring them I wonder if they'll participate”
”Kushi+da's bringing them, huh Did you tell her properly that she's not allowed to participate?”
Horikita headed to the library with those confident words As I was about to walk out of the classroom, I looked at Kushi+da, who returned a cute wink
Securing a corner of a long table near the edge of the library, aited for the students
”I brought them~!”
Kushi+da ca Behind her was—
”We heard about the study group from Kushi+da-chan I don't want to drop out that quickly after school Please take care of us”
Ike, Yamauchi, and Sudou However, there was one unexpected visitor A boy named Okitani
”Okitani, you also got a red mark?
”Ah, uh, no I orried because I was right on the border… am I… not allowed to join? It's a bit difficult to join Hirata-kun's group…”
Okitani looked up at htly red cheeks Slender frairls would immediately shout ”I'erous
”It's fine if Okitani-kun joins, right?”
Kushi+da asked Horikita His score was a 39 after all, so it's natural for him to be worried
”If it's a student worried about getting red ent”
”O-ok”
Okitani sat down happily Kushi+da tried to sit down next to him, but Horikita noticed
”Kushi+da-san Did Ayanokouji-kun not tell you? You're—”
”To be honest, I'rades”
”You… you didn't get bad tests on that last test”
”Well, that was luck There were a lot of uessed In truth, I barely passed”
Kushi+da cutely scratched her cheek while saying ”Ehehe”
”I think I'm about the same level as Okitani-kun, if not worse So I want to participate in the study group to avoid a bad grade That's fine, right?”
I couldn't hide my surprise at Kushi+da's bold and unexpected plan After confir that Okitani could join, she turned the tables Horikita couldn't help but to let her join
”… Fine”
”Thanks!”
Kushi+da bowed to Horikita with a s Okitani was probably a part of her plan too She used him as justification for her to join
”Below 32 is a red rade?”
”If it's 'below', then 32 points is safe Sudou, can you even make that?”
Even Ike is worried about Sudou Of course these guys would like to know if it's ”below” or ”up to”
”It doesn't et at least 50 points”
”Geh, isn't that too hard for us?”
”It's dangerous to just aiuys, who aren't even at the ”
At Horikita's sound argureed
”I was able to summarize most of the topics that will be covered on this test I plan to thoroughly cover these topics in the next teeks If you have any questions that you don't know, ask me”
”… Hey, I don't even understand the first problem”
Sudou scowled at Horikita I also read the question
”A, B, and C have 2150 yen collectively A has 120 yen ives B 2/5ths of his money, B now has 220 yen inally have?”
A probleh school student, it should be a free point
”Try using your brain If you give up froet anywhere”
”Even if you say that… I don't even kno to study”
”Everyone else in the school passed”
The school doesn't decide on admissions solely based on scores Sudou was probably accepted because of his high physical ability If you think about it, wouldn't he get kicked out irades?
”Ugh, I don't know either…”
Ike was also puzzled as he scratched his head
”Okitani-kun, do you kno to do this question?”
”Um… A+B+C equals 2150 yen, and A equals B+120…”
Okitani, who so down the equations
Kushi+da was looking over his shoulder
”Un un, that's right, that's right And then?”
Kushi+da is certainly bold Even though she said she orried about getting a failingOkitani
”Honestly speaking, this problem can be easily solved by first-year and second-year middle school students If you fail here, you won't be able to do anything
”Are we elementary school students then…?”
”As Horikita-san said, it's pretty bad if you can't solve these problems The first few math problems on the test were about this hard, but even I didn't kno to do the last problem”
”I can teach you how to do systems of equations if you want”
Horikita picked up her pen without hesitating It's pitiful, but the only ones who understood how to do the problem were Kushi+da and Okitani
”In the first place, what even is this 'syste…?”
”… Are you serious?”
Wow, these guys really live without studying at all Sudou threw his mechanical pencil at his desk
”No, stop This isn't going to work”
Before even starting, Sudou already gave up
Looking at his pitiful state, Horikita was fu
”E-everyone, wait Let's try our best If you learn how to solve these problee to the questions on the test Ok?”
”… Well, if Kushi+da-chan says so, we'll try our best, but… If Kushi+da-chan taught it to us, I would probably work even harder”
”U-um…”
Horikita stayed silent when Kushi+da was about to ask her It was troubling that she didn't say anything However, if she stayed silent, the othersKushi+da made up her mind and picked up the mechanical pencil
”This is, as Horikita-san said, a problem that uses systems of equations I'll write dohat I said as expressions”
As she said that, she wrote down the three equations It looks like they're trying their best, but even if she wrote down the equations and showed it to the theroup, this is et her explanation
”So, the answer is 710 yen Do you get it?”
Feeling satisfied, Kushi+da smiled and looked at Sudou
”… Uh, then can you answer this question? Why?”
