Chapter 33
“Everyone here must already be aware that tests are approaching . You should stop playing around all the time and study diligently for your exams . ”
Tests, huh? Some students changed their expressions after hearing that word, but for me at least, it was a rather pleasant opportunity . After all, I could sleep as much as I wanted since I had already learned this year’s lessons using my wisdom skill .
“Well then, homeroom will end now . Class representatives, as usual please . ”
“Stand, Bow!”
Homeroom ended under the class rep’s order and everyone scattered around to prepare for the first class .
“Tests, huh...”
Kamaishi who was sitting in front of me uttered those words with a dejected face .
“Kamaishi-san, are you perhaps bad at studying?”
“Not exactly, but this time I’m not very confident . ”
Kamaishi’s grades were slightly above average so they weren’t bad at all . Of course, mine are near the top .
“Kamiya-kun, you look unconcerned, as I thought . ”
“You think?”
“Yes, didn’t you get perfect scores in most of the subjects in the small tests?”
That’s because I learned this year’s entire program . Small tests are piece of cake .
“That’s because I studied pretty hard . ”
“I see... hey, Kamiya-kun . ”
When I lied about studying hard, Kamaishi suddenly replied although she also seemed hesitant to say something .
“If it’s fine by you, can you help me study... maybe?”
“Sure . ”
“I know, you don’t wan— it’s fine?”
Kamaishi was surprised when I accepted her suggestion instantly and she brought her face close to me .
Too close .
“Y-Yeah, I’m okay with it . ”
“I’m glad . I was worried that you would refuse . ”
Kamaishi said as her expression changed to relieved .
I didn’t have a reason to refuse anyway . And to top it off, it was the request of my only friend in the school . There’s no way I’d say no .
“Okay, where should we do it then? My mom told me she will come back early from work today so we can’t go to my place . ”
“I don’t mind if she’s there . ”
“Well, she will probably tease me again if I brought you home, so...”
Recalling the incident from last time, Kamaishi replied while faintly blushing .
I came to remember what happened too . It was indeed troublesome to have your parents misunderstand your actions .
“But there will be other students in the school library and there’s no library in this vicinity...”
Seeing the troubled Kamaishi stressing to find an adequate place, I tried proposing the my idea .
“How about we go to my place?”
“Eh? Your place, Kamiya-kun?”
“Yeah, my mom will probably be late at work so I guess it should be fine . ”
The only person who will there was my sister, Karen, but that shouldn’t be a problem .
“Umm, okay then, let’s do it a your place . ”
“Alright . ”
When I confirmed the decision, I heard Kamaishi muttering something about my house while seeming to be pleased . It should be a considerable event for Kamaishi, who doesn’t have many friends, to visit the home of someone else . I was glad she was happy .
“Well then, let’s go together after school . ”
“Sure! I will do my best to study . ”

With that reply, Kamaishi turned around to prepare for the first class .
Her smile and humming made it clear that something big happened to her .
A while later, I heard her saying something about changing her clothes before and couldn’t help but let an awkward smile .
If she was that excited to go to a friend’s house, I needed to make sure she got to have a good time .

Bonus
The criticism of your surroundings .
When Yato and Kamaishi were talking about tests, their neighbors were talking about them .
“Those two are flirting again . ”
“They’re flirting each time I look in their direction . ”
“I saw them leaving school together the other day . ”
“I even heard that Kamaishi invited him to her place . ”
“They’re definitely going out . ”
“No, it doesn’t seem to be the case . ”
“What do you mean?”
“There’s someone who saw Yato going out with another girl . ”
“Seriously, he’s two-timing?”
“Well, he’s not going with her yet, so I guess it doesn’t count as two-timing . ”
“So that’s how it is . ”
“I hope things go well for Kamaishi-san . ”
“Me too...”
The class was watching over them with warm eyes .
