The next day.
Shinichi stood quietly by the side of the road, holding a book in one hand, and stood out a bit in the flow of the crowd.
His goal is to meet Nariyuki.
After a night of careful consideration, Shinichi decides to put him on the team!
To put it bluntly, it is to let him become a subordinate and work hard together for the joy of forest school.
The reason for choosing him was simple, because Nariyuki was trustworthy and capable, not easy to cause discord when working together-very important for reaching a consensus.
Instead of looking for someone everywhere, it's better to immediately draw strength from friends around him like Fuutarou, Furuhashi, and Ogata are also reserve candidates.
Although it was agreed that one person would be in charge of two, if Shinichi could recruit staff as quickly as possible, Nino would waste no time talking.
Nino is just a transfer student.
She was just a newcomer, and her friendship was shallow.
There was a high chance she would only reap the disappointment of being rejected in the end.
"Rejected." Shinichi hated this feeling more than anyone else.
If he knew from the start that he would be rejected, he would rather not start. As Nino's temporary boss, Shinichi has reason to consider Nino and not let her suffer like this.
Everything has to have a beginning, and once Nariyuki is resolved, Fuutarou will be next.
As to whether Nino would have any opinion on this matter, Shinichi also hoped that he would be able to bear it in comparison.
Immediately, a familiar figure appeared from the intersection. As Shinichi thought, it was Nariyuki to take this path to the current school and pass by this place the most.
After meeting him many times on the street, he could guess the man's actions without any special calculations.
Immediately, Shinichi put the book away.
Unexpectedly, there was another person beside him.
Her skin was a healthy dark brown, the young and beautiful short haired beautiful girl smiled and said something to Nariyuki. While Nariyuki waved the word card in his hand,
They walked side by side, leaning against each other pretending not to care.
Glancing there, Shinichi hid in the shadows of the alley and pondered.
That girl is a swimming expert called the "silver obsidian mermaid" that Nariyuki mentioned, Takemoto Uruka.
Did he start teaching her English? And judging by the physical distance and seemingly intimate atmosphere. Those two people weren't a simple relationship between junior high school classmates… Otherwise, after only teaching for a few days, how would it be possible for it to develop into an ambiguous relationship?
"Tsk tsk..." Shinichi touched his chin and couldn't hold back a sigh.
(Nariyuki, I thought you were like me, a straight man of steel who devoted himself to study. I didn't expect that you're usually calm, once given the chance, you could get into teen romantic comedies.)
This is really embarrassing.
——That's the end of the joke. Seeing this situation, Shinichi couldn't help but rethink his plan.
He forgot to consider one important thing, namely, what would happen to his grades if Nariyuki were to join the group? How about a "special trial mission"?
Nariyuki becomes a genius who works hard, but not a genius who studies. Teaching can increase grades, but forest school management cannot.
One's strength is limited, let alone a poor commoner like Nariyuki, who needs to take care of homework from time to time, and who basically spends his study time cramped. He's busy, moreover Uruka has to be taught English.
It was true that as long as Shinichi made an invitation, there was a high chance that Nariyuki would not refuse.
Even if it would tire him out, but he was able to top the 2nd year rankings of Shuchi'in Academy, enjoying excellent scholarships and learning resources, all of which were inseparable from Shinichi's help to him in the past.
Shinichi understood Nariyuki. He was an idiot who would sacrifice himself for others, unlike a coward like himself who was always suffocated by "reasons".
Once Nariyuki joins the team, Shinichi can almost imagine how exhausted the man must have been while he was studying, organizing the forest school, and teaching Uruka. He only sleeps for two or three hours a day.
If Shinichi really invited him, it would be tantamount to dragging his friend into a deep pit with his own hands, and he wouldn't be able to do such an inhumane thing.
And if you think about it this way, Fuutarou is the same... He has a part-time job outside, and he usually tries to earn money besides studying, and now he has an extra job tutoring the quintuplets.
Obviously, this guy didn't have time to accompany Shinichi on anything at Forest School.
Even though both of them owed Shinichi a debt of gratitude, after considering carefully now, he found that he had no way of using the favor to ask them to help him.
In this way, only Furuhashi Ogata can ask for help?
Shinichi stepped out of the alley after the two had gone far.
He suddenly had a hunch that in the end, he might not be able to recruit anyone.
....
When Furuhashi enthusiastically showed him a paper full of formulas, Shinichi knew that his hunch had come true.
"Listen, Asada-san! I created this problem myself yesterday. These are college exam questions at the nearest cram school! Even if it takes two hours to solve the problem, even if it's difficult, I can solve it myself!"
She smiled satisfied and happy.
Shinichi just listened to Furuhashi: "Ricchan is the same, she can already understand ancient texts, it's because Asada-san has taught you well~."
