The Legend of Chiba Tutoring

Chapter 4 What the child said...

Today’s lunch was just a quick lunch box bought on the way to school.When you go back in the evening, you can take it easy and make some food by yourself, but when you get up in the morning, Rintaro doesn't have that much patience. It would be a good idea to buy an inexpensive but delicious bento from the roadside. s Choice.

The place where Rintaro eats lunch is also relatively fixed. If the weather is nice, he will go back to the chair next to the playground to eat and take a rest while eating.If the weather is bad, I will stay in the classroom and listen to the lively discussions in the classroom.

Rintaro is generally not very interested in getting involved. Although the boys next to him will also drag Rintaro into a certain topic during discussions, Rintaro, who seems to be not very interested in anything, usually It was just a few casual remarks.

Fortunately, everyone is tolerant and doesn't care about anything.Although Rintaro thinks this may have something to do with the fact that he is often borrowed homework.

It's spring now, and the weather is very nice. As usual, Rintaro is sitting on the edge of the playground on a chair where no one usually comes. While eating, he looks at the playground. Even in this short period of less than an hour, he is fully satisfied. Students take advantage of it to do various things.

For example, running.

But today was a little different from usual. Rintaro, who was casually scanning the entire playground while eating, seemed to see a familiar face.

Although she was relatively far away and had her hair tied up, a certain girl who was walking and talking and laughing with a group of other girls did have a face that made her feel familiar.

She was wearing the same uniform as herself and was obviously a student at the school.But that confident smile on his face and his calm and generous manner were obviously not in line with the Katase Seiri he had seen before.

It would be somewhat unreliable to say that she has a completely different personality in front of strangers. However, Rintaro, who had heard something from Kudo before, quickly remembered that he had never seen her before. , the second daughter of the Katase family.

Katase Hazuki.

It's exactly what Kudo said. She seems to have a completely different personality from Katase Seiri, and is more similar to her sister Katase Yorai. She is the kind of character who can stir up topics and even become the center of a group.

Looking at it this way, it is estimated that among the three sisters, only the youngest sister Katase Seiri is an introverted girl.

Rintaro soon lost interest in Katase Hazuki, who was the center of the topic, and continued to eat his lunch and looked elsewhere.

She will neither have any connection with herself nor be of any help to her work. She also seems to have the same troublesome personality as her sister. Rintaro feels that it is better not to have anything to do with her. Contact would be better.

However, there was no chance of contact in the first place.

After finishing his lunch quietly and sitting on a chair to rest for a while, Rintaro rushed back to the classroom before class and successfully completed the two afternoon classes.

Coincidentally, today is Tuesday, and the last class in the afternoon is that of the homeroom teacher, Mr. Akiyama. After class, Rintaro was stopped by Mr. Akiyama.

"Sakuraba-san, do you have anything else to do now?" She walked directly to Sakuraba and asked, causing the other students who were about to leave the classroom to look at her curiously.

Rintaro shook his head: "There is nothing else."

"Then come with me." Teacher Akiyama took the lead and walked out of the back door of the classroom. Rintaro's position was at the penultimate table on this side of the wall. If you want to go out, you basically have to go out from here.

Others who quickly lost interest in Rintaro's side of things did not continue to pay attention to him, and instead talked about their own plans.Rintaro left the classroom with the teacher.

Rintaro originally thought he would go to the teacher's office, but Teacher Akiyama took him directly downstairs to a nearby building.The relatively small building next to it is not used as a classroom, but as a building where the school's club rooms are concentrated.

Although it was also a teaching building before, it was a long time ago.

"Although Sakuraba-san, you have not joined the club, the club rooms in our school are actually allocated according to teachers. And I happen to have a small club room that has not been applied for, and it is now used for you and Xiao Xingri ...Ahem, Katase Seiri-san uses it." Teacher Akiyama said, turning around and handing a key to Rintaro: "This is one of the keys to the club room, I will take you there first, Katase Xingri-san will be here in a while."

"Is it okay to use the club room? There are only two of us here, and the number of people in the club is not enough."

"Anyway, it's empty. If someone uses it, you can clean it frequently. There won't be any problems. Moreover, because this is not a club activity, you don't have to write me a report or something. In various senses It’s more convenient.”

Rintaro nodded: "I understand."

There is no need to leave the new teaching building to go to the club building. There is a passage on the first floor that leads to the side, which is quite convenient for members of literary and art clubs.

Come down from there, walk upstairs again, arrive at the fourth floor, which is also the top floor of this old teaching building, and then go to the innermost classroom.

Rintaro finally knew why such a club room was vacant and unused. Even on this floor, Rintaro didn't feel any activity. There was even a broken light bulb on this floor. It was turned on for a while. , darken it.Whether it's the location or the lighting, this location is quite hellish in every sense of the word.

If it's right, you might be able to make a lot of money by converting it into a haunted house.

Rintaro couldn't help it anymore: "Don't we really have to wait for Katase down below? With her character, I'm afraid of her..."

Although Rintaro didn't finish his words, his meaning was made very clear.

Teacher Akiyama turned around, looked at this floor, and blinked: "... As for that child... well, let's go downstairs and wait for her first."

"Can that lamp be replaced with a new one? It looks a bit leaky." Rintaro said, pointing to the flickering lamp.

"This floor has not been used for a long time. It is quite normal for electrical appliances to be damaged. Don't worry too much." Teacher Akiyama waved his hand, then turned and walked downstairs.

Rintaro twitched the corner of his mouth involuntarily and followed suit.
