Shinichi's Victory

　　After school.

　　Shinichi and Itsuki walked to the student guidance room together. This time they arrived at the tutoring room earlier than others, but they didn't have the key to open the door and could only wait outside.

　　While looking at the scenery after school, the two chatted. Not long after, Ichika who looked exhausted and Yotsuba who wore sports clothes and ran.

　　"Good afternoon you two... Listen to me, I have a lot of work today, I'm almost turning to ashes..."

　　Ichika swayed weakly, and the tired expression on her gloomy face didn't look fake.

　　However, she was shaking, but she fell towards Shinichi.

　　"Oops, I fell~"

　　Just as the corners of her mouth curved slightly and she was about to lean on Shinichi's shoulder, Itsuki took a step forward in time and caught her.

　　"Ichika, are you okay?

　　"If you don't feel well, rest first and don't force yourself."

　　"…"

　　Ichika glanced at her in annoyance, and straightened up in her surprised gaze.

　　Then she stretched her muscles.

　　"Hmm~ Don't worry, I'm tired, but I can take care of my own health, and I won't be like other people..."

　　Ichika poked Itsuki's forehead with her finger, speaking half teasingly and half worriedly.

　　"You stay up late and go to the infirmary to sleep. You are much better than me!"

　　Itsuki pitifully covered the spot where she was stabbed.

　　"I've learned, don't say any more... Is your health okay? So what..."

　　Ichika blinked.

"Is it just limited sudden anemia?"

　　"What is…" Itsuki was speechless.

　　Ignoring the interaction between the sisters there, Shinichi turned to look at the sportswear on Yotsuba and asked.

　　"Are you going to participate in club activities after the meeting?"

　　"There is only one month left before the sports festival. Not only training, but our sports clubs also have to help prepare many things! Yotsuba nodded, ran two steps in place, bent his arms, and his smile was full of vitality.

　　"But no problem! Even though the schedule is very busy, it is still far from my limit!"

　　"Yes."

　　Shinichi smiled and patted her head, seeming to be reassured by this.

　　"So—... Is this why you slept in class?"

　　"Ha!?"

　　Yotsuba opened her mouth wide.

　　"Wh-Why does Asada-san know!"

　　"Because there are two or five kids in your class," Shinichi became expressionless.

　　"Very good. The exam is coming soon. It seems the 'motor learning method' is making a comeback."

　　"No, do'nt-!"

　　Yotsuba held her head back, curled up like a frightened little rabbit.

　　"Not long after continuous reclasses during summer vacation, will I face Asada-san's demonic training again? This world is too cruel for me!"

　　She complained like this, but when she held her head, her expression was relieved.

　　"Um, Hina-chan is good, but I still prefer Asada-san, so this is actually pretty good..."

　　"What did you say?"

　　 Shinichi didn't hear it clearly.

　　After asking, all he got was a suspicious smile from Yotsuba.

　　"Ehehe~ It's nothing~"

Shinichi frowned.

　　"You especially need to listen to Hina-san's study plan. I just used the morning exercise time to make you remember more things."

　　To prevent her from becoming dependent on him, Shinichi decides to give her a warning.

　　He also explained his thoughts to the two girls next to him.

　　"You are all the same. Just follow Hina-san's steps. I can't spend more time teaching you."

　　"However, the school entrance examination is one of the three major examinations, and its importance is self-evident. If there is anything that Hina-san has not explained in detail, you can ask me after class. A chance to increase your grades easily."

　　He said the last sentence while looking at Ichika.

　　"If you don't want to be a junior next year, try your best to improve your academic performance now."

　　The three of them nodded, indicating that they were considering the matter.

　　Of course, there was also worry on their faces. Itsuki is basically out of danger, but Ichika, Yotsuba, and Nino are not and have to be careful. They are basically the equivalent of Ishigami. If their average grade throughout the semester does not reach the target...

　　At that time, they should call someone "Shinichi Senpai".

　　Think about this. Ichika's eyes lit up: "Hey, wait, this feels good..."

　　Shinichi flicked her forehead, and at this moment, the sound of high heels also sounded in the corridor.

　　"Time has run out. Sorry, the teacher meeting was delayed and kept you waiting."

　　Mafuyu walked over, looked at Ichika and Yotsuba, looked at Shinichi, and finally looked at Itsuki.

　　Looking around at everyone, she without another word, took out the key and opened the door to the tutoring room.

　　"Come in, today we will discuss the characteristics of each participating school."

　　"I..."

　　Itsuki looked at Mafuyu's back, hesitated for a moment, and didn't say it.

　　"Okay, Kirisu Sensei..."

　　 Mafuyu stopped and half turned around.

　　"What is it? About that meeting?"

　　"Eh, it's already morning..."

　　"Then let's wait until the meeting is over." After saying this, she ignored Itsuki and walked inside.

　　Ichika stuck out her tongue and smiled bitterly in a low voice: "Ahhaha, she's still cold and heartless..."

　　"On the contrary," Shinichi shook his head and defended.

　　"This is proof that Kirisu Sensei has our best interests at heart!"

　　"What do you mean?" Ichika tilted her head.

　　Shinichi quickly explained at a volume that even Mafuyu could hear clearly:

　　"After all, if I talk to Itsuki now about what she wants to say, it will not only take up both of our time, but it might also make Itsuki feel embarrassed and unable to speak freely."

　　"Given that we might have other things to do, Sensei plans to finish the meeting after the meeting—"

　　"Ahem, Asada-kun?"

　　 Mafuyu coughed, her cheeks reddened, and she wore an unhappy expression.

　　"Why don't you come to the meeting immediately? The same goes for Ichika-san, Yotsuba-san, and Itsuki-san. If you think you have a lot of time, I will give you more homework to complete."

　　"No! We'll be there soon!"

　　The three girls were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly walked to where they were yesterday and sat down, afraid that if they were even a second slower, there would be extra test papers to take home.

　　Shinichi followed behind, and looked into Mafuyu's eyes, smiling inexplicably happily.

　　"Hmmm..."

　　She stared back, but she only lasted two seconds. For some reason, Mafuyu took the initiative to look away, not daring to look at his smile again.
