I just want a single ending

If it's really not suitable, just reject it directly.

If possible, she also doesn't mind giving it a try.

"Look, since your mom is worried that playing in a band will affect your academic performance, then isn't it enough to just convince her that playing in a band won't affect your grades?"

Kamikawa Su made this speculation based on the information she provided.

"You can't do it, right? My mother wouldn't believe such a thing so easily." Kita Ikuyo said a little embarrassedly, "Especially since I haven't been paying attention to the lessons lately. I've only been thinking about practice."

Her grades were only okay, and it was almost impossible for her to balance being in the band and hanging out with friends without affecting her academic performance.

Not to mention, it was about making his mother believe that this thing could succeed.

"If you rely on your own efforts, it is indeed possible that you cannot achieve it."

Kamikawa Su pointed at himself and explained specifically.

"But what if I'm included? Don't forget, I'm number one in the grade."

"Eh? Senior Kamikawa, do you mean that you want to tutor me?" Kita Ikuyo understood what was going on instantly.

"Assisting you with tutoring is indeed a good idea, but it's actually impossible." Shangchuan Su shook his head. "We are in different bands, and our practice times are different."

"It's very likely that I have time today, but you need to practice, and when you have time, I need to take care of band things."

"Not to mention, we have other things to do."

"That's right."

After thinking about this for a while, Kita Ikuyo nodded in agreement.

"But, what do you mean by adding you, Senior Kamikawa?"

"It's very simple. I can't actually help you with your studies, but isn't it okay as long as your mother thinks I can do it?" The corners of Shangchuan Su's mouth rose slightly.

"Are you going to lie to my mother and tell her that you will tutor me?" Kita Ikuyo completely understood his plan.

"Yes."

Kamikawa Su drank the coffee in the cup and sighed deeply.

"When the time comes, I will tell your mother that I am the manager of your band and I hope she won't stop you from playing in the band and practicing at home."

"If you're worried your grades will drop, don't worry. If there are any issues with your grades, I'll be responsible for tutoring you."

"My grades are top of the class, so I think it's pretty convincing that I can tutor you."

"This is the general idea of ​​the plan. We will need to carefully polish the specifics when the time comes."

"Now you just need to think about whether you can convince your mother with this reason."

“I feel like I can do it.”

Kita Ikuyo thought about the plan according to what he said, and said with surprise.

Putting aside other things, the fact that the top student in the grade is willing to help with tutoring is enough to waver some conservative parents.

After all, many parents hope that their children’s friends are all good students.

"If you think it's possible, then I still need to tell you something in advance so you can be mentally prepared." Kamikawa Saku began his advance statement.

"Ok."

Kita Ikuyo also became serious.

"As I just said, this method is deceiving your parents. I don't have the time to truly tutor you," Kamikawa Su said seriously. "I can't be your exclusive tutor. I can't do it, and I can't handle the responsibility."

"The most I can do is hold a few study sessions, just like we did with the last midterm, and give you some cramming when the exam is approaching."

“So, most of it still depends on you.”

"At the very least, it's best if your academic performance can maintain its current level. Even if it declines, it can't drop too much."

"That way, by holding study sessions and cramming before exams, you can still make your mother feel that playing in a band hasn't affected your academic performance."

"If you have such a resolution and believe you can achieve that level, I'm willing to help you convince your parents by using my status as the top student in the class."

"However, if you can maintain your current performance, you won't need my help in convincing you."

"Because you just need to assure your parents that playing in a band won't affect your academic performance, and then prove it with your final exam results."

"This approach is definitely much better than asking an outsider like me to convince them."

"After all, asking me to help persuade them is just an additional guarantee of being the top student in the grade, and it's a guarantee that may not be recognized."

"The best thing to do is for you to have a good talk with your parents instead of letting an outsider like me deceive you."

"If you feel you can't maintain your current results, then don't take my advice into consideration. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

After saying that, Kamikawa Suku subconsciously picked up the coffee cup, but found that the cup was empty, so he had to put it down again.

"…Let me think about it."

After listening to his long speech, Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Such an important matter, of course, requires careful consideration."

After saying this, Kamikawa Su called the waiter and ordered a cup of black tea.

In fact, he could have made a guarantee just now.

Just say something like, "I'll help you with your studies from now on, so just go ahead and play in the band and don't worry about your grades."

In this way, not only can you greatly gain Kita Ikuyo's favor, but you can also solve all problems instantly.

No need to worry about anything anymore.

Unfortunately, he couldn't make that kind of guarantee, let alone say that kind of words.

The reason is simple. You need to be responsible for what you say.

Especially when the words are so heavy.

He couldn't take full responsibility.

Therefore, he chose to give up this opportunity and only provide help within the scope of friends.

Another reason is that becoming a tutor to one's classmates is a bit unlucky.

Comics like that are quite popular these days.

For some reason, the male protagonist becomes a tutor for many beautiful girls. After going through various love comedies, he finally succeeds in being together with one of the beautiful girls.

Therefore, even becoming Kita Ikuyo's tutor alone is absolutely not an option.

If you accidentally overdo the favorability, you're doomed.

Kamikawa Suku didn't want to end up like that.

Being single is what I pursue.

Not long after, the waiter brought my own black tea.

Picking up the black tea, Kamikawa Suzu looked at Kita Ikuyo who was still thinking, feeling a little complicated.

To be honest, I am really despicable.

He actually gave a method to deceive Kita Ikuyo's parents.

As expected of me!

After complaining about himself for a while, Kamikawa looked out the window again.

it's getting dark.

After a short while, Kita Ikuyo's voice sounded again.

"Kamikawa-senpai, I want to try to talk to my mother on my own. If that doesn't work, could you please persuade her again?"

"no problem."

Kamikawa Su came to his senses and agreed quickly.

"That's fine."

Kita Ikuyo said this with great force.

"However, I have a question to ask you." Kamikawa Su asked curiously.

"what is the problem?"

Kita Ikuyo looked up.

Kamikawa Su asked, "It shouldn't be that hard to think of promising your parents that you can play in a band without affecting your grades, right?"

"Ah."

Kita Ikuyo responded softly.

"Have you thought about it before?" Shangchuan Su asked.

"Have."

Kita Ikuyo nodded slightly.

"Then why didn't you try it yourself before?" Kamikawa Suku was very concerned about this.

“I can’t do that.”

Kita Ikuyo looked directly at Kamikawa Susumu who was sitting opposite her and spoke slowly.

"It was just too difficult for me to juggle being in band, hanging out with friends, and not affecting my grades."

“I don’t have the confidence to guarantee that I can do it.”

"Wouldn't it be even worse if I made a promise to my mother and didn't keep it?"

"Instead of that, it's better to say nothing."

Kamikawa Suzu felt inexplicably uneasy: "Then why do you want to talk about this with your mother now?"

"Kamikawa-senpai, asking this question knowing the answer is a bit too much." Kita Ikuyo complained, "Isn't this the method you just told me?"

"No, what I mean is, you couldn't manage the band and your grades before, so why do you think you can do it now?"

This is what makes Kamikawa Suzu feel uneasy.

"If you want to rely on me, then I suggest you give up the idea of ​​talking to your mother. The help I can provide is limited."

"No, I don't want to rely on Kamikawa-senpai... No, that's not right, you can't say that. Of course I still need Kamikawa-senpai's help, but I don't need a lot. I just need the small part that you are willing to provide me."

Kita Ikuyo hesitated for a moment, sorted out her thoughts, and then began to explain in detail.

"Is this enough?"

Kamikawa Su was still a little confused.

"enough."

Kita Ikuyo answered with full energy and sparkling eyes.

“It just makes me feel like I’m not the only one working on this.”

"It's too lonely trying to work on your own. I'm a little out of my element."

"It's like I'm practicing alone now, and I've already thought about giving up."

"But if I have Kamikawa-senpai working hard with me, then there will be no problem."

"After all, I'm just that kind of person. I really want to go out and play with friends. I like the hustle and bustle and the atmosphere."

"So, Senior Kamikawa, let's work hard together!"

"please!"

"Although it's a bit bad to ruin this passionate atmosphere, I still want to make it clear that I don't need to work hard. The only one who needs to work hard is you."

This time it's Kamikawa Su's turn to complain.

"That's almost it. As long as Senior Kamikawa is willing to help me, even if it's just a small part, there will be no problem." Kita Ikuyo didn't care about the loophole in the words.

"Ah."

Kamikawa Suku had no objection.

He had said everything he could say and had given reminders.

But Kita Ikuyo still made that choice, so there's nothing we can do about it.
