Chapter 877

There were only a few people in the library after class ended, less than ten people including Ryuji and two others.

　　It's okay to talk a little in this regard.

　　Ryuji patiently explains liberals to Rizu.

　　He mentioned Soseki's famous saying "Moonlight is so beautiful" in summer.

　　"Speaking of how beautiful the moonlight is, what comes to your mind?" Ryuji asked.

　　"The moon is Earth's satellite and the fifth largest satellite in the solar system. The diameter of the moon is about a quarter of the earth, and its mass is about one eighty-one times that of the earth. The average distance between the moon and the earth is about 10,000 kilometers, which is approximately 30 times the diameter of the earth." Rizu answered without pause.

　　Damn science girl!

　　Ryuji felt his head hurt.

　　"It's not that the moonlight is so beautiful!" Ryuji explains: "'The moonlight is so beautiful when I'm with you.' The great writer Natsume Soseki used this sentence to implicitly express his admiration for someone, so this sentence means I love you."

　　This was the content of the first year of high school, and one could tell at a glance that Rizu wasn't paying attention in class.

　　"Why does the moon mean I love you? I don't understand," Said Rizu in a confused tone.

　　"If you don't understand, just write it down for me!" Ryuji said fiercely.

　　"...Yes." Rizu felt embarrassed.

　　"Furuhashi."

　　"This!" Fumino said like a scared little rabbit.

　　"Why can't you do simple arithmetic problems like that?"

　　"Uh, my brain gets confused when I see complicated formulas," Said Fumino pitifully.

　　"We need to simplify complicated things! It's very clear to use the squared difference formula here, I'm not asking you to calculate it bit by bit!"

　　"Single difference, square?" Fumino seemed to be hearing this word for the first time.

Ryuji: "😐"

　　Even according to Ryuji's definition, anger is inevitable.

　　"Sorry..." Rizu said.

　　"What is wrong?"

　　"I'm going back to the shop today to help, so I'll go now."

　　Rizu's family owns an udon noodle shop, and business is very good, she will help out if she has time.

　　"Okay, be careful on the road."

　　Since there was nothing he could do, Ryuji asked her to go back first.

　　"I'm sorry for being so stupid and causing you trouble," Rizu suddenly said, "I'll remember what you said when I get back!"

　　An emotion called relief spread through Ryuji's heart.

　　Maybe this is what it's like to be a teacher.

　　After Rizu leaves, Ryuji teaches Fumino.

　　"Please give me some advice!" Fumino was a little nervous, she rarely had the chance to be alone with a boy.

　　However, when Fumino was ready, Ryuji took out a light novel and seemed to mind his own business.

　　"What do you think I'm doing, reading a book?" Ryuji said.

　　"Hyakki-kun, will you teach me?"

　　Ryuji shook his head and said, "Your foundation is too bad, so just memorize the formula slowly first."

　　 Fumino: "😐"

　　Even though what he said was true, it was too blunt!

　　…

　　September is already considered autumn. It was only 7 pm now and the sky outside was already dark.

　　Ryuji glanced at Fumino who was painstakingly memorizing science formulas, and said to her: "That's all for today."

　　"Phew, it's finally done!"

　　 Fumino suddenly fell on the table.

　　She actually read the formula for two hours, it's great that she didn't fall asleep!

　　"It's getting late, I'll take you back."

If it was summer, it would be fine, but now that it was autumn, and the sun was setting quickly, it was still very risky for a girl like Fumino to go home.

　　If something happens to her, Ryuji is not without responsibility.

　　"Then I'll leave it to you," Fumino thanked Ryuji.

　　The two left school and walked towards Fumino's house.

　　"The stars are so bright today!"

　　On the way, Fumino looked up at the stars.

　　Her expression changed from serious to dull at first.

　　Ryuji twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Do you like stars that much?"

　　"Hehehe…" Fumino smiled shyly. "Um, I really like stars. I've loved it since I was little."

　　"When the starry sky was beautiful at night, I would subconsciously look for my late mother's star."

　　Common lies parents tell their children.

　　Even after death, they want to leave spiritual sustenance for their young children.

　　If this was the Age of Gods, after humans died, their souls would go to the underworld, Ereshkigal was familiar with this aspect of the business.

　　But in the world where the gods have departed, there is neither the underworld nor heaven. This is truly a happy and sad era!

　　Ryuji didn't expect Fumino to have a story like that.

　　"Feel sorry for."

　　 Fumino suddenly reacted.

　　"No, I should be the one apologizing! What did I say suddenly!" Fumino smiled sarcastically.

　　"Does your wish also have something to do with this?" Ryuji asked.

　　"Um... Whatever I do, I want to connect with the stars. So, no matter how difficult the science exam is, I will work hard to pass and study astronomy!"

　　Under the night, the blue-haired girl expressed her wish.
