Serving as a Tutor for Three Years?
"..."
Mafuyu felt mocked by him.
What did it mean to order takeout with his money?
Didn't that mean, don't bother cooking for himself?
"No, I still have money to order food." Mafuyu refused.
She couldn't deny her lack of cooking skills, but she could still refuse the money.
"In that case, give me—"
"Don't worry, I'll pay for your food too!"
Before Ren could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Mafuyu.
"Oh, I'll help you clean your room." Ren said.
Mafuyu ordered food as a reward for cleaning her room.
"It's okay."
Faced with his proposal, Mafuyu couldn't refuse.
She was really bad at cleaning.
Now, there's only one extra meal package that can be exchanged with Ren to help her clean up, and that's a very good thing.
But even so, she still didn't give up on the idea of cooking herself.
It was purely a mistake this time, especially since the recipe didn't clearly state how much heat and time to use for frying the slices of steamed bread, leading to this tragic event.
Next time, she'll follow the recipe.
She didn't trust herself, and she wouldn't be able to do it like that.
"Kamikawa-san, let's not talk about this for now." Mafuyu took the initiative to change the topic, "Let's talk about the final exams."
In fact, when the final exam results come out, she wants to talk to Ren about this issue.
After all, Fumino's and Rizu's results were truly remarkable.
"Sure."
Ren adjusted his sitting posture, intending to listen to what she wanted to talk to him about.
"Putting aside Furuhashi Fumino and Ogata Rizu, let me ask you, Kamikawa-san, don't you have any ideas to get better results in the exam?" Mafuyu began to ask.
When she knew his grades, she knew clearly that Ren had scored the top average school again this time.
"No."
It can be said that Ren never had any strange thoughts at all.
"Kamikawa-san, don't you think that's strange?" Mafuyu continued, "You're clearly only ranked 100th in the school, but you can tutor students in the top 30. Isn't that too much?"
Honestly, she didn't want to use the word strange, it was a bit harsh.
But besides that, she really couldn't think of another word to describe it.
"Sensei, you previously said that I have a talent for fulfilling other people's dreams." Ren remembered it clearly.
"But didn't you deny it then? You said you were just an ordinary student." Mafuyu also remembered it very clearly, "Or, are you planning to admit that you have talent in this field?"
"I'm just better at teaching, that's all."
After thinking for a moment, Ren answered slowly.
When he said this, he also felt a bit strange for himself to be like this.
Therefore, to cover it up, some talents have to be acknowledged.
"In that case, I hope to make good use of this talent."
As for Ren, Mafuyu no longer hoped he could use his full strength, but only hoped he could make good use of this talent.
"I will."
Ren agreed.
"I've finished what I wanted to say."
Mafuyu sighed helplessly and didn't say anything.
In fact, there were many things she wanted to say to him, like asking why he kept hiding his true level, whether it was because he hated being noticed or for other reasons.
But when she talked to him, she found that the words were not appropriate to say.
A little too sharp.
Therefore, she could only try a little to explore what was on her mind.
Of course, not everything was lost this time.
At least Ren admitted to having talent and promised to make good use of it.
Enough.
"Kirisu-sensei, I'll go back first."
Seeing this brief conversation end, Ren stood up and said goodbye.
"See you."
······
The next day, during the day.
"Kamikawa-kun, come over here."
When Itsuki saw Ren walking towards her standing in front of the café, she quickly waved.
"What are you doing?" Ren was a little confused.
Today was the time he would meet Itsuki's father at the café, but in her notification to him, she didn't mention that Itsuki would also be there.
"I'm just here to browse and won't disturb your conversation." Itsuki explained.
After her sister found out that their father would invite Ren for a meal, they were very curious about what they would talk about, and then she was sent to ask about the news.
The reason was that she got the best score in this exam. Even if her father paid attention to her goal, he wouldn't be too angry.
"Oh." Ren then asked, "Is your father here?"
"We've been here for a long time." Itsuki pulled Ren into the café and showed him their location, "Over there."
"Okay."
So Ren walked over there.
Itsuki followed him and sat in a chair not far from their table.
"Long time no see, Kamikawa-kun."
As soon as Ren came, before he could speak, Nakano Maruo took the initiative to greet him.
"Long time no see."
Originally, he wanted to greet Ren in the afternoon, so he could only follow his words.
Calling the waiter, Maruo handed him the menu.
"What would you both like?" The waiter asked.
"Just a latte."
After a quick glance at the menu, Ren randomly chose a drink.
"Iced coffee."
Maruo casually ordered a cup of coffee.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After noting their needs, the waiter left.
"Kamikawa-kun, I'm very satisfied with your tutoring results."
After the waiter was far enough away, Maruo spoke.
"Because in my opinion, it would be considered good if you could get all five of my daughters to rank 120, but you've achieved something that I can't even imagine."
Ranking 120th in Shuchi'in Academy, which is considered excellent in other schools.
"Thank you."
Ren responded very politely.
"So, I hope you continue to be a tutor for my five daughters for the next three years." Maruo said slowly.
"Three years?"
Ren noted this moment.
"Yes." Maruo continued, "You can ask for any reward you want from me."
