Chapter 21: Joke
Shinichi is still studying. However, this time what he learned wasn't books, but the knowledge called "Teacher".
In the morning after class, he used his time to look for teaching materials, went to the library to borrow books, then frantically made notes during class, and carefully watched the teacher's every move in class.
This was a field that he had studied but was not yet deep into. He had to learn from scratch, sort out all the points of knowledge, and train himself from ignorance to knowledge.
After all, he was no longer alone on this learning journey. He still had to shoulder two responsibilities. If something went wrong, the three of them would suffer together, and he would even have to bear the brunt of the blame.
Shinichi never hesitates to think of the worst, because that will make him show his most serious energy and concentrate on the goal in front of him.
"Target, huh..." Shinichi suddenly realized something, but he couldn't catch the feeling, so he could only ignore this fleeting touch and work hard to prepare for the lesson.
During the day, he borrowed a computer from the library and spent 30 minutes typing up two exam papers, an essay and a multiple choice, which were naturally prepared for the two of them.
He didn't even have lunch, and he was either writing lesson plans or flipping through archaeological questions in recent years. A notebook he had just bought was filled with doodles but beautiful handwriting at a very fast pace.
The joyful feeling that his head was filled with familiar and unfamiliar knowledge made him forget about time and hunger. He only felt an unprecedented enthusiasm fill his whole body, and his thinking became faster than usual.
"Um… Asada-san, I'm glad you prepared so hard, but you still have to eat, otherwise it will be bad for your body."
Seeing that Shinichi had not stopped since morning, Furuhashi hesitantly advised him.
"Pay a little attention to your image, the classmates are looking at you with strange eyes..."
"I don't care about that now." Without lifting his head, Shinichi opened three textbooks in a row, his eyes glanced frantically, and then he copied the row of dot knowledge on both sides of the notebook with both hands.
"Yeah..." The corner of Furuhashi's mouth twitched, not knowing how to continue.
She always felt that Shinichi in this state was terrible. It felt like a different person, completely without his previous cute and tsundere looks.
Amazing, but she still wished he could prepare lessons in a more casual way, so they, especially her, wouldn't be so stressed that his stomach hurt.
"Eat this for you!" Furuhashi suddenly got inspired, and quickly took out her school bag, took out a lot of candies, biscuits and chocolates and handed them to Shinichi, "Counting the chocolate bar reward you gave me before, how much do you want to eat? Just say it! If it's not enough, I'll give it to you tomorrow!"
"This is not enough? You have to feed the pigs…" Shinichi finally stopped writing and stared at her speechlessly, "You usually have this much food in your school bag? How did you get so hungry earlier?"
"Ahaha, I was in a hurry to go out today, so I accidentally forgot to buy one." Furuhashi smiled awkwardly, and before Shinichi could react, she directly pasted the candies and cookies in her notebook, and suddenly clapped her hands together happily.
"I've thought about it! My job is to keep an eye on Asada-san, so when I saw you destroying your body, I had to step out to stop you and advise you on nutritional supplements… This responsibility was for Asada-san. Did you promise yourself before?"
Furuhashi, who knows Shinichi's clumsiness, is proud of her cleverness in finding the right reasons to accept her kindness.
Shinichi looked at her with a slightly dumbfounded smile: "Is there a need to find troublesome reasons to care about me?"
"It wasn't all because of your clumsy temperament!" Furuhashi nearly slapped the table.
"How could I be awkward... Fine, don't look at me, I just want to make excuses for myself." Shinichi curved his lips and looked away.
"Since you even helped me find a reason, then I would rather respect than obey... Eat this first."
Taking a piece of senbei casually and opening it, Shinichi took a bite, and took the kettle lid from Furuhashi very naturally.
He glanced first at the pile of snacks on the table, then at the tea kettle in his hand.
Then he raised his head slowly and looked at her.
"...Furuhashi, are you here to study, or to eat?"
"Ahaha, Japanese is so difficult, I don't understand~" Furuhashi turned her head away with a stiff expression.
In this case, Shinichi could only sigh helplessly.
"Forget it... Anyway, thank you."
He no longer cares about Furuhashi's affairs, Shinichi eats with one hand and drinks tea with the other. While supplementing his nutrition, he turned his gaze back to the dense and complicated type of questions in the exam book. His enthusiasm reignited again, and he couldn't wait to get it down on paper and analyze it.
So as not to make a sound, the kettle was carefully placed on the table.
"You're welcome, this is what I have to do."
Furuhashi leaned her face, watching her concentration with a smile on her face.
Without even noticing it myself, that gaze had softened inexplicably.
...
It's time to leave school.
"I didn't expect you to embark on this path of no return..." As if he had found a partner, Fuutarou patted Shinichi's shoulder admiringly, and said sarcastically, "I just said that the head of the church It affects your studies, could it be that you're being tempted by beauty?"
"Educator and tutor are different titles, so don't compare me to you." Shinichi rolled his eyes, withdrew his hand, and said angrily, "I'm not talking to you to make fun of me, please tell me the detailed process of teaching the Nakano quintuplets yesterday, so that I can use them as teaching reference. Let me know quickly! I don't have much time to waste."
"Did you learn your attitude of inviting people from robbers? It really makes people angry." Fuutarou clicked his tongue, as if thinking of something, the expression on his already gloomy face became even duller, "But I regret to tell you, my experience has no reference value at all none of those people acknowledged that I was their tutor, and they absolutely don't want to study! Yesterday, I made no progress except for managing to achieve the feat of walking thirty floors of stairs, let alone teaching."
"Didn't you already know that they are quintuplets? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"It's no use telling you. Those who should have failed will still fail, but that is already a failure five times over." Shinichi shook his head and put his school bag on his shoulder, "There are only two people I have to face. They are all very cooperative, so let me cheer you up... When I write down my teaching experience, I will print a copy for you."
"Thank you very much." Fuutarou looked at Itsuki, who was neatly packing her schoolbag in the seat behind Shinichi, and he couldn't help but bare his teeth, silently praying that Shinichi would make progress quickly so he could refer to it. Dealing with five "students" who are extremely resistant to learning.
Of course, this doesn't mean he's doing nothing now, after Itsuki left the classroom, Fuutarou also secretly chased after her like a stalker, gathering information at all costs to complete his tutor's work.
....
Suchi'in Academy has a self-study room on the fourth floor of the teaching building. This is a large hall that can accommodate a hundred people. There are rows of chairs inside, and there is a partition between the tables. The goal is to protect privacy and avoid intrusion.
There is ample light, the atmosphere is serene and intellectual, and lots of people who don't have club activities will study here after school. Compared to places like coffee shops and fast food restaurants, it is easier to concentrate on studies.
However, compared to the private study rooms reserved for Student Council members, the equipment was still too crude.
Shinichi led Ogata and Furuhashi who met on the fourth floor to the deepest study.
In the farthest corner, there were four doors that looked quite solemn and splendid, and there were five golden characters inscribed on the doorplate – Exclusively for the Student Council.
Shinichi looked and found that none of the four doors were used, so he chose one at random, took out a Student Council member's badge, and printed it on the precision instrument next to the door.
The black box, similar to a magnetic buckle sensor, immediately emitted a mechanical electronic sound.
"Certification complete. Student Council librarian, Asada Shinichi, welcome to use the special study room for the Student Council. We hope you enjoy studying and graduate early. Goodbye."
However, Shinichi didn't open the door and came in, but said softly to the black box: "Let's go to class today, class will end tomorrow."
"The password is correct, and the alarm is unlocked." With a beep, the faint red light on the sensor turned green, and a rattling sound came from the doorknob, as if some sort of lock had been opened.
Shinichi then turned and said to the two of them.
"Okay, you can come in... Why do you two look so weird?"
Furuhashi and Ogata: "😐"
"This is only a measure to prevent the loss of the badge. Nothing surprising... Suchi'in Academy is rich. These kinds of operations are everywhere, you have to get used to it."
Furuhashi and Ogata: "😐"
The two stood in front of the door in silence for a long time, and finally Furuhashi uttered a complaint that caught in her throat.
"This place feels hard for me to get out alive..."
Confused for a moment, Shinichi said with a pure smile on his face: "What are you talking about? I'm not going to lock you in a study room for hellish training just because you can't learn it? I haven't made part of the plan yet."
"Hey! Wait, come back! Do not run away! I am kidding!
