Slices of life

"How did you learn everything so fast though?!" Marin whined as she flopped face first on the table.

"It's not fair being the dumbest one in the friend group~" She complained as she flipped through the notes with horror in her eyes.

She had been complaining none stop since the moment she knew how far I had already covered in my studies. She also said something about making sure my good brain gets passed on to the next generation or some things.

I, on the other hand was more pre occupied with other things. I looked at Komi with scrutinized eyes and I did not know if it was an illusion but her lips were slightly curved.

It would be unnoticeable for the ordinary eyes but it couldn't escape my trained, observant eyes.

After staring long enough to be labelled as a creep, I finally concluded it was real.

'She is slowly changing.' I thought with a smile.

I guess it makes sense that Marin's contagious smile would break that doll-like face of her's sooner or later. Her mother was more than capable of expressing herself.

She could too, She just needed to learn.

One step at a time.

"Mou~" I felt Marin's hand on mine. She tugged on it. "Are you even listening to me?"

I snapped out of my thoughts and pulled my eyes away from the blushing Komi who had realized I was staring.

"Sorry, I had something on my mind." I said, "I heard something about our son taking after my smarts and being a nerd who avoid every girls while staying momma's boy?"

Okay now that I said it out loud, that was wild.

"You were clearly not listening!!" She pouted and won't look at me. Her focus fell on my once injured hand which was healed now.

But there was a fresh scar running across my palm now. And Marin was gently trailing the scar with her small fingers.

She said it was her favorite part of my body. The reason was pretty obvious.

"I'm sorry." I apologized again, "Talk and I will listen this time."

"Maybe I don't want to speak to you anymore." She said, her pout ever growing as she lovingly paid her attention to my hand.

....was it weird to feel jealous of your own hand.

"You know, I always wonder why Emilia was not the most popular girl in Re:Zero." I started and even though Marin acted like she was ignoring me, I knew she was listening,

"Rem is kind of mid." I said and Marin's head snapped to me in absolute horror.

Her whole focus was on me again but as a price I had to listen to why a short oni maid with inferiority complex who was also ready to die for you anytime was the greatest waifu ever made.

Absolutely better than the typical elf princess with political issues. She quoted.

If only she knew she was also one of the best waifu ever created.

She was sitting opposite to me and share my table while she sat on a spare chair in the classroom. Komi was also at the side, seemingly reading a small book but she was listening in on our coversation.

When I asked her to participate in the conversation and share her opinion, this was what she said.

(I like Ram. I think she was the best.)

"What?"

"What!!!"

Marin and I both screamed at her in shock, spooking out Komi who immediately apologized for her opinion.

I laughed and told her it was fine and to stand with her opinion. Then Marin and I began trying to convince her that Rem/Emilia was the best waifu.

But unfortunately, before either of us can convince her to our sides, the bell rang and Marin had to leave for her own class.

I also spread out my notes and study materials and began studying at my own pace while the teacher revised the lessons with the rest of the class.

The days soon past by again and we even stopped any club activities to focus on the upcoming exams. 

After school the three of us went to Komi's house again where I was introduced to her perfect brother.

Seriously, perfect beauty seem to be running in the family genes. Though he was not as handsome as yours truly.

No seriously, no matter how perfect your face was, you just can't compete with an incubus who also had high charm stats.

His brother went to his room and didn't come out the whole time we were in the house. Maybe he was feeling insecure with me around. I don't know.

We had yet another productive studies before we all went home again. Another day passed and the days lessened until the inevitable end.

The exams.
