I, Tomoya Aki, am not a bootlicker

After proposing to tutor Yoshihiko Kamigo last time, perhaps because Yoshihiko Kamigo was still a little ambitious, or perhaps because he wanted to avoid failing a subject and being criticized by his family, the next day Yoshihiko Kamigo sincerely asked Tomoya Aki to tutor him.

This is also the reason why the two of them are here at this time.

"Hahahaha, that's not so exaggerated, thank you for the compliment!"

Yoshihiko Kamigo was also somewhat self-aware. He had an embarrassed look on his face and kept scratching his face with his hands. He seemed a little guilty under the gaze of Tomoya Aki.

There's nothing he can do. He didn't study much in the first place. He chose Toyonosaki Academy because of the recommendation from a graduate of Toyonosaki Academy.

Tomoya Aki sighed, knowing the character of Yoshihiko Kamigo.

Making a final push a week before the exam is the best effort Yoshihiko Kamigo can make.

Then after the exam, you will not care about life and death!

From this point of view, Yoshihiko Kamigo is still living a free and easy life.

"Your strength is Japanese history. Are you the reincarnation of some idiot?"

An Yilun couldn't help but tease.

Being teased, Uesugi Yoshihiko had a subtle expression on his face, and then he said to himself: "But why don't I have the same luck with women as Yoshii Akihisa?"

"That's the privilege of the protagonist, Xiyan, you're obviously not one of them!"

The atmosphere became a little more relaxed, but that didn't mean that Akitomo would let go of Uego Yoshihiko.

He once boasted that he could help Kichihiko Kamigo avoid failing one subject at least.

But the midterm exam is next week. Can I really do it in this little time?

Unless this guy studies on his own when he returns home instead of playing games or reading comics.

"Chinese, Mathematics, and English. Last time, your highest score was in Chinese, 35."

Based on the class average score of 67, and the passing score being half of the average, Kiyako Kamigo barely passed.

Akitomo also wanted to tell Uego Kihiko that this time he should pray that the class average score would be lowered a little bit, so that his chances of passing the exam might be much higher.

However, saying this in front of friends might be a bit discouraging to this guy, and it was I who said I would tutor him.

If we do things perfunctorily, we can ensure that Uehara Yoshihiko has the best chance of passing the subject, which is Chinese.

However, Tomoya Aki did not want to be perfunctory with his friend. Among the dangerous subjects, the possibility of passing Chinese was the highest. If Toyonosaki Academy set the questions, based on the last exam of Yoshihiko Igo, he had a lot of points in ancient Chinese reading.

"For Chinese, you should strengthen your study of Chinese characters. If you master more Chinese characters and raise your score, you will most likely pass the Chinese exam."

This is the advice that Tomoya Aki can offer.

The part where Kishiko Uego scored the most points in Chinese literature was classical Chinese.

However, if you continue to strengthen it, it will not have much effect in a short period of time. It is better to focus on the weaknesses and start from the areas where it is relatively easy to score.

"As for Chinese characters, if you are willing to grit your teeth and put in a little more effort, you can get a few more points. You will have a good chance of passing the Chinese language exam this midterm."

"So, we're going to learn Chinese characters today?"

"No, English!"

A strong light flashed in Tomoya Aki's eyes.

Yoshihiko Kamigo, who was sitting opposite him, was stunned, with a look of confusion on his face, as if asking why it was English?

Hadn’t you been giving him advice on Chinese before?

"For Chinese characters, you need to spend some time to memorize them and write more. If you don't know the meaning, look it up or ask me. You can rely on yourself in this regard. However, as for English, the average score of English in our class is very poor. If you work hard in the next few days, there is still a great hope that you can pass these two subjects!"

In terms of Chinese, if Yoshihiko Uego spends some time reviewing the Chinese characters that did not score much, his chances of passing the midterm exam are still considerable.

Not wanting to be perfunctory with this guy, Akitomo thought it would be a good idea to slightly raise the requirements for Yoshihiko Kamigo.

What if I pass English as well?

"English and such, this is a very difficult subject for me..."

A drop of sweat hung on Kichihiko Kamigo's forehead.

"Of course I know this. You can't even pass junior high school English!"

Aki Tomoya stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked down at Uego Yoshihiko.

The other party's poor English level is completely consistent with the Chinese people's impression of the Japanese's English level.

Of course, in fact, when it comes to spoken English, it is not without reason that Japanese English is criticized because pronunciation is a natural problem for Japanese people.

However, there are many people who are good at writing.

Similarly, in terms of spoken English, there are many people who work hard to eliminate pronunciation problems.

But this is not the point. The point is that this guy Yoshihiko Kamigo’s English level is not even as good as that of a junior high school student!

"Since your brain is not flexible and you can't handle math and science, how about you use the same enthusiasm as you did in memorizing strategy guides to memorize questions on the humanities?"

Aki Tomoya suggested this.

If Uego Yoshihiko's English is not even as good as that of a junior high school student, then his math and physics skills can only be described as terrible.

Even An Yilun wanted to ask him, "Do you know the multiplication table?"

Under the momentum of Aki Tomoya, Uego Yoshihiko trembled. He swallowed and suddenly stood up.

"I understand, instructor!"

"Don't shout so loudly in the library, idiot!"

Shouting so loudly in the library will disturb others.

The moment Uego Yoshihiko shouted, everyone else couldn't help but look over here.

It was really because he shouted too loudly, and in a place like a library.

At the reminder of Tomoya Aki, Yoshihiko Uego turned around and bowed awkwardly to the people around him to apologize.

The special English training for Yoshihiko Kamigo starts at noon and ends when the library closes after school.

"Am I going to die?"

Yoshihiko Kamigo, who seemed to be exhausted, lay on the English textbook. He looked like he had been squeezed dry, with a faint white breath coming out of his mouth.

"You continue to play dead. I'm leaving first and will continue tomorrow at noon. If I find out that you haven't reviewed after you go back, you know the consequences, right?!"

Tomoya Aki's words made Yoshihiko Kamigo shiver uncontrollably.

Since he was asked to help with tutoring, Uesugi Yoshihiko should have been prepared a long time ago. He is not the kind of person who would do things perfunctorily!

After noticing the guilty look in Uego Yoshihiko's eyes, Aki Tomoya laughed secretly in his heart, then waved goodbye to Uego Yoshihiko.

Later, after returning home, Akitomo received a text message from his childhood sweetheart Eriri.

Chapter 41 Ask Yourself

After seeing the prompt from Line, Akitomo put the schoolbag in his hand on the sofa in the living room. He was not in a hurry to check the message sent by Eriri on Line, but first put the instant lunch box he bought on the way home into the microwave to heat it up.

My parents are on a business trip and won’t be back until the end of the month at the earliest. The busyness of office workers is reflected here. After just enjoying a golden week, the rest is busy with work.

The sound of a microwave oven was heard in the quiet kitchen, and Tomoya Aki clicked on Eriri's profile picture on Line.

"Are you there?"

puff!

Please forgive An Yilun for being rude, because he is the only one at home, and now he really can't help laughing.

With just two words, he could roughly imagine what Eriri looked like now.

That arrogant young lady also has such a day...

I guess she is squatting on a chair right now, holding her phone and staring at it, waiting for a reply with full concentration.

Imagining that scene, Akitomo couldn't help laughing.

"Prepare dinner. I'll go review after eating. If you have anything to say, just tell me now. I have time now."

Aki Tomoya replied slowly on Line.

His reply was like telling Eriri that it would be best to get straight to the point if anything was going on.

"That... that woman from Kasumigaoka came to see me..."

Click, click, click, please continue! Explain the matter clearly!

An Yilun couldn't help but roll his eyes. He was not a god, and he spoke so vaguely that no one knew what was going on!

"and then?"

Pick the key points, Sawamura-san!

It's not clear what's being said and it makes both sides feel uncomfortable.

"It's about her new work!!! That guy suddenly found me and said he wanted to work with me. I really don't know what that guy was thinking [○?｀Д′? ○]!"

As for Eriri, after sending the message, she buried her head in her knees weakly.

"Tell it, tell it..."

After saying this, Eriri seemed a little relieved.

Last time, her mother Sayuri Sawamura reminded her that if she really has the consciousness of being a childhood sweetheart or friend, it is best not to disturb others when they are not free.

So Eriri asked at that time, how did she know when Tomoya Aki would be free?

She didn't know either, and she didn't dare to ask...

At that time, Sayuri Sawamura's advice to her was that it would be best not to think too much. It was not a big deal in the first place, and thinking too much would only cause more and more trouble.

As for what to do specifically, Sayuri Sawamura didn't say much, but just asked her to be more careful.

Later, Eriri was asked to think about it, and she realized that it would be wrong to disturb someone during the exam preparation period without confirming whether the other person is free.

In fact, Eriri was also hesitant because of Kasumigaoka Utaha.

She really didn't know whether she should accept Kasumigaoka Utaha's proposal. After all, as a creator, she still wanted to cooperate with the other party.

But in Eriri's eyes, her behavior seemed a little strange. To put it simply, it was a little inconsistent with before.

Since Kasumigaoka Utaha's change happened after that rumor, Eriri felt it necessary to ask Aki Tomoya about this matter.

Regardless of whether the other party is the person involved in the incident or she just wants to use her childhood sweetheart's opinion as a reference, Eriri thinks that the appropriate time to contact him is when the school is closed, that is, when Aki Tomoya leaves the library and goes home.

Just now, when the words were on the tip of her tongue, Eriri spoke vaguely at first.

"New collaboration?"

Tomoya Aki was a little surprised, but his surprise didn't last long.

If it were the former Aki Tomoya, he would probably be very excited about the collaboration between Kasumi Shiko and Kashiwagi Eri.

But now, what does this have to do with him?

Simply as acquaintances, he was somewhat surprised that these two people were working together, but Aki Tomoya didn't think he could provide any good advice on such a matter.

"You shouldn't ask me about this kind of thing. Why don't you just ask Kashiwagi Eri?"

Aki Tomoya replied.

He was not the one working with Kasumi Shiko, so to be honest, he didn't have the mind to offer any professional advice.

If he really wanted to say anything, he could only say, "It's nothing bad, right?"

At least the topic has been aroused, which will keep the outside world expecting it.

In this regard, there is nothing wrong with it.

"I asked myself?"

Ying Lili tilted her head and looked at the replies on Line.

She held a smartphone in her right hand and nervously played with her blonde ponytail with her left.

Tomoya Aki's words were to let her decide for herself, the key was whether she wanted to cooperate with Kasumigaoka Utaha.

The other party has no responsibility to make a decision for her on matters like this.
