Chapter 5: One-Eyed Ai's Mayhem

Anyone will have experiences of getting frustrated[1]

The first tiot frustrated was back in the second searten, I have always been chosen as the relay runner during sports festival, but that tiot frustrated

If it was the current me, I would say “Relay? That’s too troubleso that time, I was heavily impacted

I don’t knoho set the rules, but for the lower graders, “fast runners are cool” is a value upheld by the majority Relay runners are cool, in other words, the resulted theory was “I am cool”

How regrettable, ahhh how regrettable

I et back the “cool” title next year, I still re back and forth on the nearby river bank Although one ave up on training

In the end, I failed to becorade too

But at that ti cool because I can run very fast” itself is a theory thatlate, so if I can let go ofEita leveled up, he already surpassed hi up

Seven years later—

The second seain

“Why can’t I win?”

Looking at the returned maths exam paper, I scratched my head in frustration

Ninety marks Under normal circumstances, it wouldn’t be weird to see this as first place Because Kaoru got eighty one for it, I should be e

But, I wasn’t first place

The answer sheet of the wo on the seat next to

“What are you doing? You've staring at o, do you like me?”

“I wasn’t even staring at your face!”

On her answer sheet, a huge hanamaru[2] and the number “100” decorated her paper

“How did you answer the last question?”

“Didn’t we learn this recently?”

“I’ about the time constraint”

The mathematics teacher Yu Gamidani-sensei is nicknamed “Infinite hell” for his papers Because there are too many questions, it is almost impossible to finish the paper He himself said “you have to answer the questions you know first, this is very i the questions with a large amount of questions

So I though eighty percent was good enough

Since the test results for the quiz won’t get announced, I don’t really care about other students’ results

But I never thought someone could score full marks on it!

“Because I learnt the soroban[3], probably thanks to that”

She answered uninterestedly

I learnt the soroban too, but I gave up after three days

“Why do you care so much about such a small quiz?”

“It’s important for me”

“Me”

“It’s not because of that—”

I can’t throaythe relay

If I can’trecommendation to medical universities will be closed to me

This is not about my pride, but ‘’’our’’’ aim

♦

Therefore, I need to study hard

I was focusing onout the same amount of questions as the quiz fro the required amount of time

“Eh, Eita-kun?”

“I’m busy, talk to me later”

Facing Masuzu’s sharp voice, I didn’t raise my head, and continued my work

“Since you came to the clubroom, why don’t you chat a bit with Harusaki-san”

“Eh? Me?”

Chiwa sounded surprised, and raised her head fro

“It’s fine, never mind, he can say whatever he wants anytime”

“You’re so relaxed about this, this man will marry a revision book if he can”

“Will the wedding be held in the bookstore?”

Hime spoke up softly Please, I won’t marry a book

……hmm?

“Hey, Hime, was that a joke?”

“……”

Hime blushed and lowered her head

Uohhhhh! Hime is embarrassed at her own joke!

My heart is beatingggggggggg! Himeka is really cute!

“You’re still your sa turned on by Akishi+no-san”

Masuzu’s cold voice pulled me back to reality

“I-I wasn’t turned on at all! I was just looking over her as a guardian!”

I won’t look at Hime this way! Only sometimes!

Wait……

Now is not the tiet distracted

If this was a real exam I'd already be done for, I need to concentrate

When I got back to my questions, the door opened

I kneas Fuyuulanced a little

But Chiwa started yelling

“Wha-what’s with your getup!?”

I looked at Fuyuu

“What’s with your getup!?”

She earing a shroud

Fuyuuular bandage[4] on her head, kneeling hite socks on, while carrying a huge cross(paper) she soot her hands on

This getup was the saized to the disciplinary committee upperclassmen when Hime’s chuunibyou worsened This tith

“I have to apologize to everyone”

Fuyuumi raised her head and looked at everyone

“I said I had a boyfriend right? Murata Michel Daigorou, do you still remember?”

Everyone nodded, including ot about him

“That is actually—a lie Michel was fabricated, he’s fictional, fake! Because you said I was ‘jealous since I have no boyfriend’, I lied without giving htttttt! Ai-chan epic boast!”

“I’ized

The clubroom was silent

Since I already kneasn’t surprise

The important part is their reaction

The first to speak up was Chihuahua-san

“Why did you name him Michel?”

This is an unexpected punchline, it doesn’t even matter
