Tannin Wo Yosetsukenai Buaisouna Joshi Ni Sekkyou Shitara,

Chapter 3 volume 8

It was after I got home and finished cleaning myself up for dinner.

I just got out of the bathroom and was sitting on the sofa in the living room trying to cool myself off from the heat. I was watching the news on my phone when I suddenly received a notification on Line.

Risa Enami: What are you doing?

I was surprised to see the name of the sender. I didn't know it was Enami-san. Even though I had signed up for it, I didn't think he would send me a message. My body, which had been leaning on the backrest, slumped forward.

I hurriedly responded.

Naoya Ookusu: I just got out of the bathroom and cooled down.

My body was still hot, and sweat flooded my face and arms. In a daze, I looked at my phone screen.

The message was read immediately. A reply came.

Risa Enami: I just got out of the bathroom

Ordinary exchange. But when I thought of it as a conversation with Enami-san, it felt really strange.

Wiping my wet head with a towel, I wondered what to say. It was so sudden, I didn't know how to respond. I didn't exchange Line with many people from the start, so I didn't know what kind of safe response it would be.

While I was in a daze, I received another message from Enami-san.

Risa Enami: Are you sure you don't need to learn?

He seems to be worried about me.

Naoya Ookusu: I will do it.

It's not like I can learn once I get home. I had to cook for my sister and father and clean up after dinner. Laundry is my job. There are so many things I have to do.

Risa Enami: Really?

Naoya Ookusu: What about you, Enami-san?

I lifted my head and looked out the window. It was an unused garden since my mother died. In the past, there were some plants that lined up. Now it was just a gloomy place with weeds growing from it. I could hear the crickets' faint screams.

My phone's shaking a little.

Risa Enami: I won't tell.

Somehow, I think it's typical of Enami.

Naoya Ookusu: You have to learn.

Risa Enami: Why?

Naoya Ookusu: Maybe because it's better.

Enami-san will be able to get good grades with a little study. I think it would be a pity not to take advantage of his potential.

Enami Rise: Hmm.

Well, it's none of my business.

Naoya Ookusu: Are you coming for the midterms?

If I remember correctly, he was late during the test period, and the evaluation for what you can't take must have been very bad.

Risa Enami: I'm coming.

Still, I thought it was inevitable that Enami-san would be detained at school. He's too late. In that case, it may not be necessary to take this test so seriously.

Naoya Ookusu: Then get good grades!

Risa Enami: What is a good score?

Naoya Ookusu: At least avoid the red marks!

Although he became more serious, it would take him only two days at most. It can be difficult to make your grades skyrocket with such a quick fix.

Naoya Ookusu: Since I have taught you so well, you should at least do that!

Risa Enami: Well, I can try to give my best.

But he might at least be able to get out of the lower classes. As far as I teach today, there are no subjects that he cannot do. All subjects were universally weak, but none were that bad.

Enami Risa: By the way, I heard that you have always been a top exam assessor.

Naoya Ookusu: That's right!

Ever since I started high school, I never once gave up on the top spot. I may have been beaten by others in some subjects, but I always beat them in the overall score.

Naoya Ookusu: How do you know?

Until now, you must not be interested in me even a millimeter. I don't think you know.

When I type, I get a reply.

Risa Enami: I heard from Nishikawa recently. You are so amazing.

Naoya Ookusu: I tried hard.

Risa Enami: Well, that's kind of disgusting.

Naoya Ookusu: Why is that so!!

This isn't good. I don't know where to stop the conversation. If not, it will last forever. I have decided to study for four hours a day. If I don't start soon, it'll be too late for me to sleep.

Naoya Ookusu: I want to go study soon.

I felt sorry, but I had no choice.

Risa Enami: Are you angry?

She must have thought I was trying to end the conversation because I heard the word "dirty".

Naoya Ookusu: No. I'm not mad at you.

Sayaka has called me "dirty" every day. If I lose patience every time he says it, my body will not be able to handle it.

Risa Enami: Right. Well, good luck with that.

I'll just add one last text.

Ookusu Naoya: Ah!

The message had already been read, but there was no reply from Enami-san.

I put my phone to sleep and got off the couch.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was only around 8 p.m. If I learn from here, I will be able to sleep at the end of the day.

I need to get into the swing of things when I am studying at home.

I clapped my hands in my face and walked into my room.
