Don't you guys dislike me?

If Kasumigaoka Utaha asked him to explain the questions every time he did them... the changes in his heart would accumulate day by day and it goes without saying what the result would be.

Her gentleness was so deeply rooted in people's hearts that even a solid wall would be slowly corroded.

…………

The next day, physical education class.

During the free practice period, Yuichi and Tomoya took a break in the shade, bought a can of cool drink from the vending machine, stood under the shade of the tree, and watched the lively young girls shaking their long white legs, which was comfortable and pleasing to the eyes.

"Stupid Yuu, I found that watching the three-dimensional world occasionally is not bad."

"good."

"Pulling up your pants is tough."

"To each other~"

"Hoshino."

Miura Yumiko came to Yuichi at some point and called out, bringing Yuichi back to his senses.

"Hmm? Miura-san?"

Youyi was a little surprised. He felt that since the last meal, the two of them should be like two parallel lines with no intersection.

Miura Yumiko was holding two cans of drinks in her hands and wanted to apologize for her friend's unnecessary intervention last time, but when she saw Horie Tomoya there, she felt a little embarrassed to say it.

Then he stuffed both bottles of drinks into Youyi's arms and left in a hurry: "It's yours."

"Yuichi, am I disturbing you two? She seems to have something to say to you."

Horie Tomoya pondered with his fat face.

Yuichi didn't care too much. He had a good impression of Miura Yumiko, but that was just a good impression.

"Who cares? Do you want to drink?"

"Is it icy? If not, I don't want it."

"Who will buy you something warm on such a hot day?"

"Hey, I want it then."

The physical education class ended with a slacking off. When the roll call was called, it was Yuichi's turn to stay behind to clean up the field. He remembered that he cleaned up the field with a shy little guy with a flat head...

So... why is the Queen here?

42. I really can’t do anything about you

"Um...why is it Miura-san?"

Youichi saw the guy with the short hair passing by him, and looked at Miura Yumiko who was walking out from the crowd with a puzzled look on his face.

"I switched with Mizutani-san."

The Queen relied on her status in the social circle and with just a few words, she could make the little flat-headed man switch places with her, without even needing a reason.

Of course, Yuichi was not asking about these unimportant things, but Miura Yumiko reluctantly and reservedly stuffed a bottle of ice drink into his hand.

"Here, I bought an extra bottle for you."

The girl touched her beautiful golden hair, whether to dispel the midday heat or out of shyness, it was unclear.

"Thanks. "

Her way of conveying kindness remains so unique.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Youyi bent down to pick up the tennis balls scattered on the ground. He didn't want to waste too much time under the scorching sun.

Miura Yumiko imitated Yuichi, bending down to pick up the ball, and looked outside the court. She found that her friends had gone far away, so she spoke:

"Last time when I invited you to dinner, did you leave early because the Ministry of Revenue came?"

"Well, I'm not familiar with them. It's awkward to have dinner together without common topics. It's meaningless, so I'll leave first."

"Sorry……"

Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen felt impolite because she left first last time? Otherwise, how could she explain the guilt on her pretty face right now?

"Why are you apologizing? Did you call them here on purpose?"

"That's not the case!"

Yumiko Miura explained anxiously.

"That's fine."

Yuichi raised an eyebrow.

"I always feel like the Ministry of Revenue is bullying you because they let you go first."

Yumiko Miura was fiddling with the ends of her blonde hair. She was absent-minded, as if she couldn't express what she wanted to say very well and was a little impatient.

"Then consider the three bottles of drinks you gave me as an apology."

Youyi waved his hand, finished cleaning up the venue, and left.

Until the very end, Yumiko Miura was unable to frankly express her desire to hang out with Yuichi again like they did on weekends.

How can I say this? Once I say this, it will be like I asked that guy out on a date!?

…………

in the afternoon.

The results of the English test were announced, and Yuichi got a score that even the teacher shook his head.

"Fatty, I never see you study English normally, so how come you did so well in the test?" Youyi felt helpless, as if God had blocked the doors and windows of the English subject tightly.

"Well... to be honest, I'm more into Western action movies, but without translations I can only watch them raw. I'll get used to it if I watch more."

Tomoya Horie's eyes were cunning. He covered his mouth with his hands and whispered about his English learning method, as if he was afraid that others would hear and raise the average score.

“Is the first productive force?”

"I am over-flattered."

…………

After school, Yuichi was called to the office. The only people he could name among his colleagues were Sho Tobe and Yumiko Miura.

The teacher, also the head teacher, looked at everyone with a dark face. The breath he exhaled seemed to shorten his life by twenty or thirty years. He said in a dying tone:

"You are the only ones in our class who failed certain subjects. If you continue like this, you might have to repeat the grade..."

The teacher sighed every time he spoke, and Yuichi even felt that he might die after he finished speaking.

No one said anything. There was nothing to refute. They just waited for the teacher to rescue them.

"Don't waste other students' time. Just help each other out."

As he said this, he took out a grouping table.

"This is the group I divided you into based on your strong and weak subjects. Do you have any opinions?"

After everyone took the forms and took turns to borrow them, Yuichi glanced at the inexplicably happy Miura Yumiko, because the person who helped him improve his almost hopeless English grades was the Queen, and Yuichi was responsible for her math.

"You can arrange your own time for mutual assistance. The midterm exam is coming up. If one of you fails, I will find the other party who is helping me and hold him accountable."

It may seem inhumane, but it can stimulate the initiative of teachers to a certain extent. After all, no one wants to face this lifeless old face again.

…………

Just after leaving the office, Miura Yumiko walked lightly as if she was playing a soothing and cheerful piece of music, but when she walked next to Yuichi, the tone suddenly dropped and became low.

"Miura-san, I hope you will give me your guidance from now on."

"Um...thank you for your help."

Miura Yumiko's polite words were very stiff, but remembering that she was also a beneficiary, the Queen reluctantly bent her noble waist.

“When do we help each other?”

"It's about noon. Do you have the habit of taking a nap after dinner?"

Remembering that he had a store exploration activity after school in the afternoon, Youyi decisively chose noon.

"No, then it will be at noon."

"Well, I have something else to do now, so I'll leave first."

The store we visited today seemed to have different flavors of cheesecake, and Youyi was eager to try them.

"and many more!"

Yuichi's schoolbag was grabbed, and he looked back in confusion:

"Any thing else?"

"The mutual assistance time is only at noon?"

Miura Yumiko paid special attention to Yuichi's English grades. Can such grades be made up by just taking lunch every day? Although her math is not bad either...

"if not?"

"How much time can you spend to improve your English?"

Yumiko Miura stood on a commanding height and looked down at Yuichi Hoshino who was not doing his job. The burning gaze made Yuichi feel a little ashamed of himself.

"So, what do you want?"

"I think I should use the one hour after school in the afternoon for tutoring~"

"Ah...", then wouldn't Yuichi's store exploration activity be ruined?

"I don't want to be called as a teacher because of you."

Yuichi felt a little sorry for his mutual assistance classmate who was called in for a talk because of his own fault, so he had no choice but to agree.

"All right……"

Miura Yumiko watched Yuichi reluctantly agree to her request and felt a little curious. What attracted him so much?

There are very few people in the library after school because everyone has their own club activities.

"Hoshino, do you have anything important to do after school?" Miura Yumiko couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Ah? It's not that important. There's just a store that has cheesecake in other flavors. I really want to try it."

Yuichi's tone was filled with deep regret, as if he had missed a sumptuous feast of delicacies.

Miura Yumiko's originally serious expression froze instantly, and she asked with a bit of amusement:

"Is that why?"

In her impression, Yuichi is a very casual and mature person, but the childishness he showed at this moment made Miura Yumiko couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Any questions?"

"How about...I'll go with you after I finish studying?"

43. Happiness, anger, sorrow and joy are all affected by him

"All right…"

Yuichi looked at the setting sun through the window and was not in a very good mood. There was a high chance that his expectations would be dashed because that cheesecake was a popular item in the store.

Although Yuichi occasionally shows a little childishness, he is not a child after all. He quickly adjusts his mood and devotes his mind to studying.
