Chapter 289: [Genius Scientist Of The Future]
《So, you two weren't playing social games after all?》
《What do we look like we're playing games? I taught her how to study.》
《I see… I see.》
《I taught her how to study. I've been trying to help her. You'll make it look like I did something wrong!》
I clutched my smartphone with both hands and slumped my shoulders.
I wish I could have played “Hakkotsuku” multiplayer.
Well, I've been doing some streaming with viewer participation.
Shitenno shifted the subject as if to cover up his mistake.
《She has been insistent lately that she wants me to watch her study. A little while ago, she was always on her phone during class.》
《Really?》Could it be that this girl's scores on the recent regular test were not good? I can't think of any other reason why she would suddenly start studying so hard.
《Damn it. I wish you had studied harder regularly. Then you wouldn't have to go through all this trouble.》
《Shitenno is pretty spartan, isn't he? I'm so proud of you that I want to praise you just for trying to study hard.》
《It's natural to study. Besides, knowledge is cumulative. It's meaningless to work hard temporarily.》
《《Ugh…》》
A stray bullet hit me too.
After Shitenno glances at me, he reminds the girl.
《No matter what kind of genius you are, you'll fall if you slack off. And once you fall behind, it takes many times the effort to catch up.》
《Am I a role model?》
《Damn. Iroha is really a great guy too. I don't know anyone else who is as great as she is. What exactly is great about her?》
Shitenno begins to talk about me.
He was excitedly repeating, “Amazing, amazing."
《The one with the delinquent was especially great! That was a shock to me, too. That was amazing.》
《Oh, stop it! It's too embarrassing!》
Mine was only thanks to my linguistic cheat ability.
And now I got completely defeated by shitenno, despite having such an ability. It's a bad way of praising him.
《Muu~…Iroha-chan…》
《What's wrong? What's wrong?》
I noticed that the girl was staring at me.
Or rather, was she staring at me?
《Did I do something to offend you?》
《I didn't mean it like that. I mean, you know… I was envious of Iroha-chan who was praised a lot. I should study harder too!》
《That's right, Iroha. You should study hard too.》
《Ugh! Well, it's reasonable to think you should learn from the best in your grade anyway.》
Could be the girl is trying to learn from Shitenno of all people?
That's smart!
《Well… Yes, I know! Yes, I'm sure you are. I can watch you study with me if you like! It doesn't make much difference whether I teach one person or two? I'm the number one student in my grade.》
《Oh, that's okay. I've already found someone else to play the teacher.》
《Eh? Is that so?》
《No, no, listen! The person who's going to teach me is very special to me.》
《What? Ha-ha-ha…. I see. Good for you. Yeah, yeah…》
《Is something wrong?》
《No, no. It's nothing. Ha-ha-ha…》
For some reason, Shitenno was nodding his head.
As if she couldn't see it, a girl intentionally made a cheerful voice and spoke to him.
《I'll do my best, shitenno! I'll do my best! So, please teach me more about studying!》
《Aaah? Ah, that's okay. Teaching others is a good output for me too.》
《Output, huh? Shitenno, if you want, you can give me one more output.》
《What do you mean?》
《Actually…》
I explained the situation.
I explained to him I had been asked by an acquaintance to introduce him to someone.
《Let's see. Do you mean like a short-term job?》
《That's right, if you put it that way. Normally, you can't have a part-time job with a college student visa, but with this…》
《No, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can do it. I don't have so much money that I have to work. I don't have time for unnecessary things. If I had that kind of time, I'd study more.》
《Eh? Ah~, that's right.》
I was surprised because I thought he would accept the job.
But I had forgotten. I had forgotten that Shitenno is quite a bonbon.
I mean, almost all of the students at the private junior high school we are enrolled in come from wealthy families.
It costs a lot of money to study abroad, and they will be happy…” was what the common people thought. I guess that was the common people's idea.
《I see.》
But even though he got first place in his grade, he still wanted to study and improve. That's amazing.
No, that's why you were able to get the first place in your grade, isn't it?
In the last test, he had a clear sense of purpose and emotion.
No wonder I can't win.
《But, I'm in trouble. Huh?》
《What?》
Shitenno was holding his chest and moaning.
I can hear him talking to himself.
《Oh, calm down, I know, I know. I know, I know. I don't have time for such side trips. There are so many people in the world who are smarter than me, who study more than me. I have a finite amount of time, and I won't let them beat me.》
《Well, if you can't, there's nothing I can do. I can't force you to do it. 》《Huh~》
Ugggghh! Endure, me! If you don't study the most in the world, you can't be the smartest in the world! And most of all, if Iroh catches up with you again anytime soon.
《I'm working with a language processing lab. I'll have to look elsewhere.》
《Wait a minute. Let's talk about this.》
《What?》
Shitenno's reaction suddenly changed.
What did I say that was so annoying?
