Happy Birthday, Houtarou! Sato: That's So Expensive! I Can't Afford to Keep You! (Continued)

"So when is your birthday?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked.

"August 9th." Oreki said.

It's August 8th now, and August 9th is also his birthday.

And classmate Yanagi continued, "Oreki, you are a Leo, so your luck today is very good."

"It seems that you are lucky."

"..."

There is no need for such things as love luck.

Classmate Oreki has to go see Sato today. He gave the other party the wrong signal yesterday, and he has to make up for this mistake today.

And speaking of this.

"I may have to meet Hayate tonight." said classmate Oreki.

Hayate is the name of his cat.

As an orange cat, the fatness is acceptable, but it moves like the wind.

Because Classmate Sakayanagi was unwell and had been staying behind, after some consideration, classmate Oreki lent his cat to the other party.

And now she is also living in the dormitory of Arisu Sakayanagi.

"That's no problem." Arisu Sakayanagi said. "I won't go out after school in the afternoon."

Hmm.

In other words, the evening trip is to go to Classmate Sakayanagi's dormitory to pet the cat.

"Didi!"

But classmate Oreki found that his phone vibrated.

"What's wrong?" Sakayanagi Arisu, who had already put down the horoscope divination book, seemed a little curious.

"Nothing." Oreki said.

Because he received a blank message.

To be precise, Karuizawa sent a message, but there was only a period on it.

Probably just pressed the wrong button.

After waiting for another minute, the other party did not add any additional information.

So.

Oreki classmate focused on the textbook he took out of the drawer.

As a student, your time at school is of course used to study efficiently.

Half past three in the afternoon.

At the end of the second period, Teacher Majima announced that school was over.

"Then that's the end of today's lesson."

"The student on duty will wipe the blackboard."

Teacher Majima said.

Today's student on duty is classmate Oreki.

But a tall boy went up and wiped the blackboard first without anyone calling his name.

In fact, High School of Advanced Education is quite convenient. Not only does it not require tuition, but you can also get living expenses, and class competition can also lead to a bright future.

At the same time.

As a student in the class, Oreki has enjoyed convenience.

The relationship between the students in the class is a little different from the outside world. There is a... well, a feeling of being respected and admired.

The classmates in the class will rush to do the little things that everyone has to do, such as duty.

Therefore, student Oreki can basically leave the classroom as soon as the bell rings.

"So--"

Watching the back of classmate Oreki leaving, Sakayanagi Arisu handed the borrowed horoscope book to Kamuro.

"Kamuro also has tutoring today, right? Then help me return this book to the library."

Eh.

Kamuro thinks Sakayanagi Arisu is really troublesome.

Because Rokosuke Kōenji of Class C opened a class, she was recommended here. She unexpectedly found that the other party's teaching made her feel enlightened.

So she has broken through the 80-point limit, and she will surely reach the level of Katsuragi soon.

And now I still need to go to a few more study sessions with Kōenji as a lecturer.

result.

Now there is no need for Arisu Sakayanagi to give her extra lessons, and then she still has to listen to Arisu Sakayanagi.

Oh.

Wait a minute.

By the way, Arisu Sakayanagi is jealous.

Kamuro thought.

Because Arisu Sakayanagi could control her by giving her tutoring before.

But now, it's because she has another teacher, and Arisu Sakayanagi calls her around more often.

In other words, are you thinking about competition?

"Kamuro?"

And Sakayanagi Arisu found that his dog seemed to be in a daze.

"It's okay."

With that said, Kamuro took the divination book that Yanagi borrowed yesterday, and then went to Class 1-C.

Kōenji's cram school is after class and then in class.

However, Class C was still hopeless. After Kōenji held a study meeting, only a dozen students stayed. The others hoped that Hirata would hold a study meeting.

Because Kōenji will treat them as idiots.

So, when the tutor went to make up lessons, classmate Oreki came to the library.

"Where are you?"

Hmm.

After entering the library, he received a message from Sato.

After a while, after finding a quiet table and sitting down, classmate Oreki discovered that Sato had arrived carrying a white schoolbag.

Oreki chose a table with four seats.

Sato put his schoolbag on the side of the table and sat on his right side.

"Oreki classmate."

But Sato noticed the empty table of classmate Oreki and seemed a little curious. "Did you bring nothing?"

And she no longer looked like she was about to cry when her confession failed that day.

At the same time, I seem to be in a good mood today.

"Do you mean the school bag?"

Student Oreki said, "I don't carry a schoolbag. I usually finish what I need to learn in class."

"And then I seldom mark it in the textbook."

"Hmm... this is really mysterious, like a super genius." Sato then moved the chair closer to classmate Oreki.

Let me explain in advance that the distance between these two chairs is 35 cm.

But now it's 20 centimeters.

Hmm.

She must have sprayed jasmine perfume, which smelled somewhat fragrant.

Moreover, it seems to be different from the situation at the scene where I confessed my love that day. Although I am still wearing the hot girl's clothes, I can feel that I have put on some costumes. How should I put it, it seems to have become a little cuter.

But Sato opened the schoolbag.

"I'm terrible at math--"

She took out the exercises and books.

I also took out the pencil case.

In other words, it seemed like I wanted to ask him for advice.

"..." Oreki.

It seems that he really lacks emotional experience.

Maybe the other party just wants to learn, rather than misunderstanding the signal he gave, and then starts chasing him again.

Just.

"I heard that Kōenji in your class held a study meeting. Don't you want to participate?" said classmate Oreki.

"Ah... that ah--" Sato said, "Kōenji's studies are very strong... but like Horikita, it will make people's mentality explode."

"Horikita classmate will tell you why you can't even know the linear equation of two variables. Are you a fool?"

"And classmate Kōenji is also the kind of person who thinks that everyone is mortal and he is the only one who is a genius. Then he seems to think that as a genius, if he wants to teach mortals, then everyone must listen to his thinking."

"Well..."

"I'm not following Kōenji."

As if afraid of being misunderstood, Sato quickly explained.

Hmm.

It can be confirmed.

Learning is learning, but it is not primarily learning.

Because if you didn't care about him, you wouldn't explain this specifically.

So.

Sure enough, you have to tell Sato.

He added her as a friend yesterday, not for anything else, but that he has the same attitude towards everyone who applies.

Think so.

He noticed that Sato had put down his pen, and then looked over curiously.

"Speaking of which, this is my first time coming to the library."

In other words, I don't think I like studying very much.

"So if it weren't for classmate Oreki, we wouldn't be here."

Um.

So what do you want to say?

"That..."

"About the previous one..."

Her face seemed to be flushed again.
