Real teaching, but diary flow

The small screen glowed faintly, and the voice recorder was still in excellent recording mode.

Horikita Suzune came in with a recording on.

"Recording is probably unnecessary." In front of Kikyo Kushida, she gently pressed the end recording button and then selected to delete the recording.

“…” Staring at the recording pen in her hand, Kikyo Kushida, her expression slightly frozen, sighed heavily:

"You really are sick."

Chapter 77 Are We Friends?

Horikita Suzune actually has a very good memory.

She can remember things that need to be memorized, such as knowledge in textbooks, key points of exam questions, and her brother's words, very clearly.

She would casually forget about things that didn't concern her, such as gossip about others, slanderous remarks about her, or anything that wasn't worth remembering.

Clearly, the 'Advanced Growth Survival Rules' written in the diary are very important and need to be remembered.

After deciding to record her own words and actions and those of those around her, Horikita Suzune carried a voice recorder with her every day. She would turn on the recorder in the morning and then regularly end and clean it up in the evening.

Although I bought the voice recorder from Tetsu Asakusa without thinking it through, it turned out to be quite useful.

Even after recording continuously for 24 hours, it still has ample storage capacity, enabling it to maintain long-lasting battery life.

Three thousand points is actually a good deal.

...Not to mention, the other party even came to provide 'after-sales service' yesterday.

If she weren't short of money, she would have even transferred another sum of personal points to Asakusa Toru.

More uncomfortable to her than with the money was the feeling of owing someone a favor.

After ending and deleting the recording in front of Kikyo Kushida, Horikita Suzune, not paying much attention to the words Kikyo Kushida used to scold her, walked to the entrance.

She's gotten so used to being scolded that it would be strange if Kushida Kikyo didn't scold her.

Although I don't know what friends are like, I imagine it's a relationship where people can insult each other like this.

After all, Kikyo Kushida understands what friendship is better than she does.

Hooking up her heels, she tucked her feet, encased in black stockings, into her little leather shoes. Horikita Suzune, who had come empty-handed, had no intention of taking anything back with her.

She readily opened the door, and only when she saw the bag quietly placed by the door did she suddenly remember that there seemed to be other gifts from visiting classmates.

"Ah, that's a gift from Xiaomei. Could you bring it in for me?" Without any intention of getting up to see her off, Kushida Kikyo said, "I have to thank her tomorrow. Even though it's probably just some useless stuff, I still need to take a look."

"...Don't you have hands yourself?" Horikita Suzune was a little speechless.

But Kikyo Kushida simply gave her the same sweet and charming smile she always had in class, and asked softly:

"We're friends, right?"

"..." In silence, Horikita Suzune picked up the bag, took off her shoes again, and turned around to take it into her room.

As she turned to leave again, Kikyo Kushida finally dropped her incredibly cute expression and shrugged:

"See? This is the right way to use the word 'friend'."

A simple "Let's be friends?" can easily motivate someone to do anything.

“I’ll remember that.” Horikita Suzune didn’t turn around, but turned her back and said softly, “Next time, I won’t be fooled by those words.”

After saying that, she stepped through the door and gently closed it for Kikyo Kushida.

"..." Although her words before leaving seemed very forceful, Kikyo Kushida just sighed softly: "...It's not like I don't know how to put it another way."

......

After a few whispered words, the door gently closed.

"Click."

With light footsteps and the clicking of motion-sensor lights, the girl gently pressed the elevator button.

"Ding—" A short while later, the elevator arrived and then slowly closed.

The motion-sensor lights in the hallway automatically turned off, and in the dormitory stairwell, Asakusa Tetsu slowly opened his eyes.

"..."

He held a voice recorder connected to an earphone in his hand, with one earphone hanging on his right ear. The voice recorder was playing back the audio that Horikita Suzune had faithfully recorded inside the room.

'Dislike', 'Don't understand', 'Sick', 'Friend'...

The girls' voices were playing very clearly through the headphones.

Asakusa Tetsu's lips had been curled up for a long time, and he still hadn't let them fall, which showed that he was in an extremely good mood.

Although we can't see facial expressions, the information conveyed by the voice is already quite rich.

A voice that seemed to want to speak but couldn't, a breath that stopped, and words that were mumbled and unclear.

I never expected that after Sakayanagi Arisu put on such a great show for him yesterday, I would see such a wonderful performance the next day.

He really loves Horikita Suzune.

Innocent, naive, obedient, and easily fooled.

Although they occasionally have a moment of enlightenment, they will still turn around and do all sorts of things that make people burst out laughing.

That's why he said he really liked Horikita Suzune.

It could even be said that it bordered on favoritism.

As for Archangel Ichinose and the female passerby in the library, I'm not familiar with them, so don't get involved.

"Buzz—" Suddenly, as if by telepathy, my personal terminal vibrated slightly.

It was a message from someone else.

[Shiina Hiyori: Are you having a get-together with your classmates again today?]

Despite the calm text of the inquiry, Asakusa Tetsu inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.

...But he's leaning against the wall now!

Oh no, I've been caught talking about a female passerby behind someone's back.

Forget it, I'll listen to it later when I get home.

Anyway, the plot quality was terrible today, so I'll save this good stuff for later and write it down in my diary to report back to everyone.

The reason I ended up here was actually quite by chance.

He didn't know whether to say that wearing the headscarf had made him too determined, or that he had spent too much time in the white gym, or that his energy had been squeezed out too much. After coming out and grabbing some 'breakfast' to replenish his energy, although his body rapidly increased in strength in a short period of time, he was still a little dazed.

Although he usually doesn't pay much attention in class and only pretends to listen, his sense of disorientation was particularly severe today.

So after school in the afternoon, he thought he might as well go back to his dormitory, lie down, and take a nap.

Who would have thought that this time, he saw Horikita Suzune enter the dormitory elevator alone, and the elevator stopped safely on the ninth floor.

Who's on the ninth floor?

The only answer that comes to mind when considering this question is a name.

Kushida bellflower.

These two people met...

Holy crap, that's definitely going to be a really good show.

The daze vanished in an instant, and Asakusa Tetsu quickly climbed the stairs to the ninth floor.

No one knew he had stopped there, nor did anyone know that the voice recorder in his hand could copy the recording.

Therefore, even if he were to write something grand and unrestrained in his diary, there would be no risk involved.

This is the perfect crime.

Chapter 78: So, were you all originally designed this way?

"Wow."

"Wow."

The highly developed library is not exactly quiet, especially after the class leaders announced to the first-year students that failing an important exam would result in expulsion.

In an effort to overcome the ordeal of exams, students flocked to the library, a place widely regarded as having a strong academic atmosphere, chattering about things related to or unrelated to their studies.

Once the noise shatters the barrier of tranquility, it becomes difficult for the library to regain its former peace.

However, even so, Asakusa Toru arrived as promised today...

I sat down on the other side.

Shiina Hiyori was flipping through a book over there, while Asakusa Tetsu was opening his textbook and supplementary materials over here.

"Where did Ichinose leave off with you yesterday?" he asked softly to Chihiro Shirahami beside him.

“…Here.” Turning to the page in her memory, Chihiro Shiraha extended her finger.

"The following content has been covered in class... but let's not worry about whether we know it or not for now, let's do some practice problems first." After a casual glance, Asakusa Toru picked up his pen and marked several problems on the workbook.

The best way to test whether you have mastered knowledge is to do practice questions.

The "sea of ​​questions" approach was a skill he was already familiar with. The knowledge in the first year of high school was actually surprisingly easy; with just a little attention, the corresponding knowledge would involuntarily come to mind.

...After all, these are basically things I've already learned.

Although I forgot most of it after graduation, I can still recall it quickly as long as I get into the right mindset.

perhaps?

As previously agreed, Asakusa Tetsu's purpose in coming to the library was to provide extracurricular tutoring for Shiranami Chihiro and Shibata Hayate.

The reason it turned into a situation that resembled a secret rendezvous between the two of them was because the other people who were supposed to be there all had their own reasons for being absent or late.

Shibata Hayate is involved in the soccer club activities, and his daily training schedule is already quite full. As a newcomer, he can't afford to frequently miss training sessions in the soccer club where there's a clear hierarchy.

Ichinose didn't participate in any clubs, so she should have some free time.

But she deliberately chose to be late.

As for Kanzaki Takako... to be honest, Asakusa Tetsu has never really understood what's going on in his head.

He had no club activities or social life with other friends, he just maintained a friendly relationship with all his classmates, and then... worked hard to be Ichinose's follower.

He does whatever Ichinose does, and he supports whatever Ichinose says.

So when Ichinose consciously chose to be late, Ryuji Kanzaki naturally slowed down his pace to the library.

Asakusa Tetsu had no objection to this.

After all, he really has a lot of free time.

Even if he doesn't tutor Shiraha Chihiro, he spends most of his time handing in daily tasks to the library NPC who, coincidentally, sits behind him with his back to him, even though they don't sit at the same table.

Toru Asakusa doesn't dislike reading; it's precisely because he enjoys reading that he's able to recognize most of the characters in this world and remember most of the stories behind them.

Although he has spent more than a decade, he still hasn't been able to finish reading all the interesting books in the world.

However, there is no rush.

"..."

Black and red ink swirled across the paper as Chihiro Shiraha, obediently writing down the answers to the questions he had designated, racked her brains under his watchful eye.

Then it gets harshly corrected and edited in red pen.

Surprisingly, after repeating this process, she, who initially felt a bit nervous about being alone, suddenly became less nervous.

And so, Miss Chihiro Shirami began to immerse herself in knowledge.

Unfortunately, this immersion didn't seem to last long.

"There's always a way to cram before the exam, so why come to the library...?"

The library door was casually pushed open, and then a noisy commotion came from outside.

The newcomers were from Class D.
