Chapter 97: Study Meet and Rest (1/2)

After their meal, they started studying again. However, Chitose was ultimately unable to focus, and while snacking away, she started rolling about, saying “I’m tired~”

“Amane~, can we play games?”

“Play all you want, but I don’t care how your grades turn out.”

“Oyyy you’re strict.”

“We can relax a bit, but you’ll overdo it. If you think you can watch yourself, go ahead.”

I’ll continue with my studies, Amane replied as he continued to solve the questions. In a corner of his eyes, he saw Chitose puffing her cheeks slightly.

He already expected that Chitose, who hated studying, was getting sick of it. He set up a game console and and four game controllers next to the TV cupboard.

After all, no human could concentrate fully. He felt it was fine if she just wanted to play and rest for a little while.

Amane would take short breaks after every hour, and was fine with not taking long breaks. He did not dislike studying, and could keep at it for a long time.

“You’re cruel Amane~”

“We’re here for a study group, right? Whatever, we can play for a while. 4 game controllers. Take it as a break.”

“I’ll take up that offer then~. But you shouldn’t push yourself too hard studying, you know?”

“I rested.”

“You’re that serious huh? Well, you’re always serious. I’ll play then~ what about you Ikkun?”

“I’ll play then. Won’t be playing all the time though.”

Itsuki might have been worn out from studying for 2,3 hours, and was interested once games were mentioned.

“How about you Yuuta?”

“Sure. You fine with this, Fujimiya?”

“Nn.”

Kadowaki was more serious than Itsuki and Chitose, but he too was interested in playing some games to rest. Do as you please, so Amane indicated as he turned his eyes towards the textbooks again.

On a side note, Mahiru was next to him, solving the problems quietly, and showed no sign of losing concentration.

“You’re not playing, Mahiru?”

“I shall study for a little longer.”

“I see.”

Amane was studying hard as he swore he had to work hard, but Mahiru was always in this state, and Amane was really impressed with her.

She managed to maintain her status as valedictorian due to her relentless hard work, and this relentless had work was what made Mahiru amazing.

Amane saw the trio leave the table and occupy the space before the game console. He then purged them from his mind, and started writing with his mechanical pencil.

The sounds of the pencil and rubber rang clearly along with Mahiru’s breathing sounds next to him.

He could vaguely hear squeals from afar as he recalled the every teacher’s bias of questions, and solved the questions that could possibly be tested.
