บท 207: Mid Semester Exam (1)

　　"Boy, is the classmate's house fun? Male or female? Did you take a bath together?"

　　"Darling, Fumino-chan said that our son is spending the night at a classmate's house. Do you think Shinichi will have a boy friend close enough for a sleepover? Unless he bends!"

　　"When Fumino-chan called to report safety, her tone seemed a bit complicated... Could that be true..."

　　"Hehe, don't underestimate our family's crime rate. Apart from Fumino-chan and Rizu-chan, he must have had women outside, or women close enough to stay the night! I bet on a maid for a month of Cosplay!"

　　"Pfft! Wait, honey, I willingly admit defeat…"

　　"What do you mean?!!"

　　Shinichi really thought that this wonderful pair of parents could be abandoned...

　　Where did he inherit them from? For a normal person like him, it was impossible for this kind of gene to be etched in a double helix.

　　He didn't expect that the human tragedy of holding the wrong baby would happen to him… Forget it, parenting's grace was as big as the heavens, so he reluctantly continued to bear their genes.

　　Shinichi walked upstairs, ignoring his parents who were having a big fight.

　　After returning from Nakano's house, the first thing he did was not rest in bed, or open a book or computer immediately, but took off his clothes and started warming up.

　　Inside the room, the peaceful and serene atmosphere became strange.

　　Then, Shinichi closed his eyes and recalled everything from the start of the shrine's grand festival until just now, including the last sentence he said to Yotsuba.

　　His expression slowly distorted. When the heat that had brewed his body heated up, Shinichi fell to the floor, in a standard push-up position.

　　The next moment, he was moving up and down rapidly.

　　"One, two, three... What did I do... Four, five, six... Where was my shame... Seven, eight, nine, I want to die. "

　　On Monday morning, when Furuhashi met with Shinichi, she found that his complexion was pale, listless, and he looked like he had been overworked.

　　"Asada-san? Could it be that you went to save the world again yesterday? You're the guy with the twin ponytails fighting the freak on TV?"

Furuhashi also tied a ponytail, she brought him steaming black tea as usual.

　　Shinichi snapped his arms ached, coupled with the accumulation of lactic acid in his leg muscles, he wasn't as precise as usual.

　　"Let's talk about when I was so ugly I could turn into a twintail warrior and scare freaks to death with my face... Thank you."

　　Shinichi took black tea.

　　"It's so delicious... I really want to drink it every day—" Shinichi continued without changing his expression: "A cup of red date and wolfberry tea. I heard that it is good for health and can nourish the blood and beautify the face."

　 Furuhashi blushed and pretended not to hear what Shinichi said earlier, but actually her heart was beating a little fast, and she couldn't stop thinking about it.

　　Shinichi cleared his throat: "Only three more days before the midterms, are you ready, Furuhashi?"

　 Furuhashi's expression also became serious.

　　"Report to Sensei, there's no such thing at all!"

　　Despite the pain in his arm, Shinichi raised his index finger and placed it on Furuhashi's forehead.

　　"Ahhhh~"

　　The sorrowful cries spread some distance away, causing many of the students in the class to turn their heads. For some reason, they all watched the two of them interact and no one reminded them to turn down the volume.

Furuhashi held her forehead with teary eyes.

　　"Basically, no problem. Most of the exam papers you give are above 60 points, but I and Ricchan will be confused when faced with questions that need to be used flexibly. The speed of doing inquiries has increased…"

　　"Okay, then from today until the day of the midterms, I'll start strengthening your response in this regard. Is there a problem with timing?"

　　As soon as he talked about business, Shinichi's tone would become serious. He turned his head around, only to find that the little assistant he used to ask to arrange schedules had not yet arrived at school.

　　Feeling powerless against the inertia he had developed, when Shinichi was about to take out his phone to record something, Furuhashi clicked on the phone one step ahead of him.

　　"From Monday to Wednesday there is an exercise to strengthen the speed of solving problems... Where is it located? Is it still a study room? The time is only after school?"

Furuhashi leaned her head.

　　Shinichi was stunned for a moment, and Furuhashi's scent put him into a trance for a moment, then he quickly calmed down.

　　"This midterm is the best opportunity to test how much you can improve after receiving my education compared to before. Remember to show your full power! Besides, I plan to increase my training."

　　Instead of complaining, Furuhashi smiled.

　　"Too weird for you to say that! After all, we work hard for our dreams. As long as we feel that we have made progress, we will not find it difficult!"

　　"And if I really had to say it, it was Asada-san who worked the hardest... Thank you. "

　　Accompanied by a soft voice, Shinichi forced himself to look away.

　　"I'm an educator, so get used to it. "

　　As these words sounded, Furuhashi glanced at his ear.

　　She showed a happier smile than before.
