Chapter 482: Don’t Know How to Evaluate
"You... what do you mean? What do you mean by 'if it's you, it's free'?"
Asumi was a bit overwhelmed by her words, and even her words became stuttered.
"That's what it means."
Ren thought he had explained it very clearly and didn't need to elaborate further.
"Okay, stop joking and tell me how much it will cost for you to help with lessons for a month."
Asumi interpreted his words as a joke.
"Not joking, it's free." Ren reiterated.
"...You don't have to pity me because I'm poor."
Staring into his eyes, Asumi spoke word by word.
She knew that Ren was a very gentle person willing to trust her and lend her money, but she didn't want his sympathy in this matter.
"I'm not pitying you." Ren didn't quite understand how she came to this conclusion.
"Then you say it's free, and you won't charge me a single penny!"
Asumi couldn't believe his answer.
"I never accept money for lessons." Ren explained.
"???"
Asumi was momentarily stunned and asked incredulously, "Wait a minute, why don't you accept money? Didn't you say that Ichika-san's father pays you ten times the market price?"
"Yes, but I refused."
Ren answered honestly.
"Refused? Why?"
Asumi felt she couldn't understand his logic.
"Why should I accept it?" Ren asked.
Asumi tried her best to keep her voice as calm as possible: "You've been teaching them, isn't accepting money normal?"
This was the first time she saw someone working for free.
If everyone in the world were like this, the bosses would probably be very happy.
"Collecting money is a work relationship." Ren replied, "I won't be employed by anyone."
"What do you mean by that?" Asumi didn't understand. "Is there a problem if you're employed by someone else?"
As a part-time professional worker, the word 'job' was no stranger to her, or a word she commonly used.
"I don't like being employed."
Ren stated without hesitation that he could help but receiving money was highly unlikely.
"Just because of this?"
Asumi wrinkled her brows, feeling that her worldview was being influenced. "It's money!"
Many people in the world are willing to sell everything for money.
However, Ren rejected the money available to him just because he didn't like it.
This made her unsure of how to evaluate him.
"What's wrong with the money?"
Ren seemed indifferent.
For him, money was just a bunch of numbers that didn't need to be worried about.
Paying too much attention to something irrelevant like money was just a waste of time.
"..."
Asumi didn't say anything. She felt a huge gap between the rich and the poor in Ren.
"Ichika-san, do they know that you're giving them lessons for free?" Asumi realized another issue.
"Itsuki, Furuhashi-san, and Ogata-san know, but the others don't."
Ren had never told them about his previous salary, so it was reasonable if they didn't know.
"No wonder."
Asumi nodded while thinking, then asked, "Because you're not paid, why do you agree to teach them?"
"To help classmates." Ren didn't hide anything.
"What kind of reason is that?" Asumi furrowed her brow. "Even if you help your classmates, it doesn't have to go this far!"
"Is it okay?"
"...Sure, but what do you get from it?"
After a moment of silence, Asumi couldn't understand his purpose in doing this.
Ren selflessly helps classmates without asking for any reward. It's hard for her to believe that there is someone like this in the world.
"It's enjoyable to help classmates."
"Enjoyable? What's enjoyable about it?"
"I find it enjoyable." Ren didn't know the specific reason, so he could only give a vague answer.
"So, when you said you're willing to give me lessons for free, is it because you're helping a classmate?"
Asumi felt she understood what he was thinking.
"Yes." Ren admitted, "So, you don't need to give me money."
"Let me think about it."
Asumi couldn't make a decision.
Her initial goal was to save money to attend school during the holidays to improve her grades.
However, after observing for a long time, she found that Ren's tutoring abilities could be said to completely crush the school cramming.
Therefore, in this case, she approached Ren, hoping to hire him to help her with lessons during the summer vacation.
But the problem was that Ren didn't accept money, which made her very embarrassed.
It was the summer vacation, a holiday awaited by every student.
She couldn't do something cruel like not giving him money but asking Ren to sacrifice his summer vacation for lessons.
If he asked for money, even though it was more expensive, she would accept it.
But if he didn't charge at all, she wouldn't.
"Okay." Ren didn't say anything more, "If you need my help with lessons, you can tell me anytime."
"Yes."
Asumi took several deep breaths and bid farewell, "I'll go back first. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
After saying goodbye, Asumi left and walked towards her home.
After she left, Ren continued towards his apartment alone.
······
"So boring, Kamikawa, do you know something fun?"
Gabriel lay on the floor, turned around, and looked at Ren.
Because the online game she played tonight was updated and maintained, her original game time became idle.
"I don't know anything fun."
Ren shook his head.
"Really, this game needs to be maintained now."
Gabriel had already anticipated his answer, so she could only continue to complain about the game.
"Gab, are you bored?"
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.
"Yes."
After Gabriel unconsciously answered, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Weren't Ren and she the only ones at home?
Where did the third person come from?
Thinking about this, Gabriel turned around and saw Raphiel standing beside her, smiling at her.
"Wait, how did you get in?"
"It's not important." Raphiel waved her hand, "What's important is, you're bored now, right?"
