Chapter 37: A date like this is impossible in a light novel
It was not until the bell rang for the first class in the afternoon that Watanabe Toru and Kiyono Rin prepared to return to the teaching building.
The moment he walked out of the club classroom, Toru Watanabe subconsciously said, "It's so hot."
The sun in late May seems to be paving the way for the upcoming rainy season, evaporating all the moisture on the ground into the clouds.
"In this kind of weather, if Jiujo didn't install air conditioning in the club classroom, your butt would definitely sweat if you sit on the steel pipe chair for too long."
Toru Watanabe glanced at the silent Kiyono Rin and deliberately said something that would disgust the beautiful girl.
"I don't know if there are sweat-proof underwear in Tokyo, Kiyono-san. You are a local of Tokyo, did you know that?"
On the stairwell platform, Qing Ye Lin stopped, turned back and glared at Watanabe Toru, she sneered and said:
"It's decided. After the midterm exam, I want you to wear a skirt in the club room and let Watanabe-san try to see if you will sweat."
Three steps down, Toru Watanabe gave a provocative smile.
"Kiyono-san, I'm going to make you wear a super slutty maid outfit in the club room."
"I admire your ambition and courage." After saying this, Qingye Rin smiled with relief.
That posture and expression really make people angry.
But... looking at her almost perfect body curves except for her flat chest, Toru Watanabe imagined her wearing a maid outfit, with her cheeks turning pink because of shyness.
In this moment of distraction, Qingye Lin's slender white hand suddenly grabbed the collar of his shirt: "From your eyes and expression, I feel that I have been treated very obscenely in your mind."
"You are too narcissistic." Watanabe Toru took the lead and passed the other man. "I am thinking about the derivation of the calculus formula."
"That's a lie. Also, you can make such a filthy expression even when you're thinking about math problems. You're just like me, Watanabe-san."
"You already know it's a lie, why is there a sequel?"
"I just wanted to taunt you."
"Kiyono-san is really honest."
"Thank you, but this is the basis of who I am as a person, no need to praise me."
Faced with such a Rin Kiyono, even Toru Watanabe, who was destined to be great, had no choice but to surrender.
Because they were delayed on the way, Watanabe Toru walked into the classroom with his Chinese teacher. The teacher didn't say anything and even smiled at Watanabe Toru in a friendly way.
This is the treatment for being the third in the grade. Except for the Human Observation Department, Watanabe is a high-ranking figure in the entire Kamikawa High School.
In the light novel, he is simply the most realistic of the realistic, and the leader of the class who has the final say.
The above is his self-perception, the purpose of which is to increase his self-confidence. Please do not take it seriously.
If he wasn't handsome enough, he would be seen as just a country bumpkin who only knew how to read in the eyes of others.
With the ambition of patrolling his own territory, Toru Watanabe walked back to his seat, took out his textbook and a 0.5 mm mechanical pencil, and attended the class seriously.
From that day on, the learning enthusiasm of the entire first grade reached an unprecedented high.
According to what Toru Watanabe heard from Kunii Osamu, among the nine starting players of the baseball team who still insisted on training even with the midterm exams approaching, a first-year member with great baseball talent gave up training and devoted himself to studying.
Also, during lunch and after school, the wind band practiced less loudly, and several girls temporarily stopped training.
After all, Toru Watanabe is a handsome boy who makes most girls happy to sit on the back of his bicycle and go for a ride along the riverbank.
In such an atmosphere, the only ones were Kiyono Rin and Kujo Miki.
One continued to read literary classics, while the other kept criticizing the entertainment methods of contemporary young people. She didn't like any of the comics, light novels, and games in the entire club classroom.
After learning the information about the two of them from Toru Watanabe, the male student felt angry and happy at the same time, and studied even harder.
As for Toru Watanabe, among the girls who have feelings for him, those who are not good at studying have almost given up, and only those who originally had good grades are still persisting.
Since he already had top grades and worked really hard, looking up English words while eating was not a big deal for him.
It's good that Toru Watanabe worked hard, but he didn't spend much time on the midterm exam.
For example, when eating, the notebook in my hand actually contains the 19 tenses and six personal pronouns of Spanish.
"Watanabe, what do you want to do after you get first place?" Keisuke Saito asked him.
“Nothing.”
"Hey! Why! You are the boy with the best chance of getting first place, such a good opportunity!" Kunii Osamu shouted in disbelief.
"My goal is to become a "Tokyo handsome guy". I just do what I should do, and improving my studies is what I should do now."
Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke could not understand his pursuit, and only muttered things like "That's Kiyono Rin", "The eldest daughter of the Kujo family", and "Only a fool would do nothing".
Watanabe Toru is certainly not a fool, but he has developed the habit of doing things quietly and never publicizing it until he succeeds.
On Friday of this week, he handed in a 5,000-word review in which he had no idea what to review, and Koizumi Aona didn't say anything more about the midterm exam.
It is not known whether the school was happy to see this happen and wanted to use this morale to get first place in the joint entrance examination of three schools, or whether they trusted the abilities of Kiyono Rin, Kujo Miki, and Watanabe Toru and did not interfere in the matter.
After school, I continued to go to the activity room and stayed there until the sunset dyed the entire room golden.
Before leaving, he asked Qingye Lin: "Do you have any reference books to recommend for learning Spanish?"
Rin Kiyono, who was reading "After the Equinox", thought for a moment and then said, "Spanish Grammar and Vocabulary by Anlibiudez."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Just like this, learning from the enemy without caring about my face is also the basis for my destined great future... With this mentality, Watanabe Toru asked Kiyono Rin anything he didn't understand without any resistance.
And Kiyono Rin is worthy of being a woman with an IQ of 8. So far, there has been no problem that has stumped her. She is completely beyond the level of a "genius" or "scholar".
Toru Watanabe looked at Miki Kujo who was about to fall asleep out of boredom.
This woman also has an intelligence of 8 points. I must not underestimate her. It is very likely that she has sent people to monitor me and my parents.
You must be absolutely sure before taking action against the Kujo family.
"Hey, Watanabe, I'm bored." Perhaps sensing Watanabe Toru's gaze, Kujo Miki, who was lying on the luxurious sofa, opened her eyes.
"Miss Kujo, you have already tried all the entertainment methods I can think of." Watanabe Toru said helplessly.
Kujo Miki was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed as if she had thought of something interesting. She said, "Let's go on a date tomorrow. I haven't tried it yet, but it might be fun."
"Dating?!"
"I'll pick you up at your house at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Watanabe Toru's face changed.
Kujo Miki laughed out loud: "Look at your nervous expression, but I didn't expect you to actually do radio gymnastics. You're so silly."
Watanabe Toru didn't want to talk about this, so he changed the subject: "I have to study on my days off, so I don't have time to play with you."
"Aren't we boyfriend and girlfriend? Dating is necessary, right?" Miki Kujo turned over and lay on the sofa and said.
Toru Watanabe could see her fair skin and collarbone at the collar of her shirt.
But everything about this woman disgusted him.
"Didn't we break up in the sports equipment room?" said Toru Watanabe.
Speaking of this, Toru Watanabe thought of how beautiful Tamamo was. She was really a "good woman" who did things for money. Until now, the system has not prompted the sign-in to terminate.
"Break up? I didn't say that." Kujo Miki said with a smile.
"Whether there is one or not, I will study. You just heard it, I'm busy learning Spanish recently." Watanabe Toru was very impatient.
Jiujo Miki's face turned cold: "Do you think I'm discussing this with you?"
"...Okay." Watanabe Toru took a breath and resisted the urge to kick her in the face.
"By the way," Kujo Miki showed a devilish smile, "If you can't make me happy on a date, I will punish you to fight with Shizuru again. This time the location is chosen in the ring, and no weapons are allowed. How about it, Watanabe, do you love me so much that I helped you limit Shizuru's most powerful firearms?"
"Date? Then I'll go too." Qingno Rin, who was reading a book nearby, suddenly spoke up.
Kujo Miki said as if jokingly: "This is a matter between us lovers, do you want to be the third party?"
"Couple?" Qing Ye Lin smiled noncommittally, "My latest research topic is to make Watanabe fall in love with me. For me, this is just a good opportunity to show my jealousy."
How persistent are you... Watanabe Toru was speechless.
Kiyono Rin has so much knowledge about love theories. How many related movies or books has she watched?
"Fall in love with you?" Kujo Miki laughed, "How is that possible? Watanabe likes me the most, right, Watanabe?"
Miki Kujo, who was lying prone, moved her stocking-clad feet up and down in a very girlish manner, gently patting the soft sofa.
"..." If Kiyono Rin wasn't here, Watanabe Toru would have said anything nonsense, but until now, there has been only silence.
Qing Ye Lin laughed: "It seems that it is not what you said. Watanabe-san still loves me more."
"I don't love either of you." Toru Watanabe said honestly to the two beautiful girls who were enough to attract any man.
After listening, Kiyono Rin nonchalantly lifted the hair that fell on her chest, while Kujo Miki stared at Watanabe Toru for a long time with cold eyes.
Then she suddenly smiled brightly: "I'm looking forward to my date tomorrow."
"I really just want to study," Toru Watanabe struggled.
Unfortunately, no one would listen to him.
