The Legend of Chiba Tutoring

Chapter 5 Just call me by my name

Perhaps because Teacher Akiyama rarely shows up in the club building, she and Rintaro who are noticed often attract the attention of other people who go between the teaching building and the club building. Because of this, that person The girl named Katase Seiri quickly found the two of them.

Standing at the passage connecting the two buildings, Katase Seiri was hesitating whether to walk this way. The figures of Teacher Akiyama and Rintaro appeared in front of her, paused, and then walked towards them. Come over.You can still see some nervousness in her eyes, but she still made up her mind and walked over... That's probably what it felt like.

"Teacher Akiyama, Sakuraba-san..." She greeted softly.

"Don't be too nervous, Seiri. Although Sakuraba looks a little paralyzed, he is actually an easy person to get along with." Teacher Akiyama said to Katase Seiri.

Probably to eliminate her nervousness and fear of the unknown, and to build a good communication foundation for herself. She is indeed an experienced teacher... But this is the first time Rintaro has heard someone say that he has facial paralysis.

When Katase Seiri's eyes turned to him again, Rintaro nodded slightly: "Don't pay too much attention, just call me by my name."

Then Seiri Katase withdrew his gaze nervously, which made Rintaro begin to wonder if he was really a little paralyzed.

Fortunately, Teacher Akiyama is still helping the two of them ease their embarrassment. She walked forward slightly and pushed Katase Seiri's back and walked forward: "School is over now, Seori-chan, don't be so nervous. Obviously We used to hang out together a lot, but now it’s okay to call me Kana-san.”

Rintaro felt that this was somewhat problematic, especially now that he was still in school.But her words had a big effect on Katase Seiri. Although the latter still didn't call her "Kana-san", he no longer felt too nervous.

"Teacher Akiyama, you are still in school..."

"It's club activity time now. You are using the club room I am in charge of. I came over to see if there are any problems." Teacher Akiyama, who pushed Katase Seiri up the stairs, turned around and urged Rintaro: "Sakura Classmate Ting, please hurry up and follow."

Rintaro sighed inwardly, then walked upstairs again.

Just as Rintaro was worried, Katase Seiri went up to the top floor and saw that only the innermost classroom on this floor was being used, and the lights in the corridor were still flashing. , and when the environment looked like a ghost might appear at any moment, fear overcame her reserve, causing her to tightly hold Teacher Akiyama's hand, with fear written all over her face.

Rintaro began to think that using this place as a teaching classroom was not a good idea.

After arriving in the classroom, Katase Seiri's expression improved slightly, probably because the place had just been cleaned before, which at least seemed to make people feel a little more at ease.

In order to reassure Katase Hoshiri, Akiyama-sensei sat in the seat Rintaro had prepared for him, and had a conversation with her.Rintaro was very thoughtful and didn't bother them.

The content of the conversation was probably "Sakuraba is a good person", "Sakuraba's academic performance is very good", "He won't talk back if you scold him", etc. Regardless of whether it has any effect or not, in short, he is running to make Katase Hoshi All the words that Li needed to calm down were spoken.

Rintaro cared about what Akiyama-sensei said, but that girl named Katase Hoshiri should not be a fool, she can understand what is true and what is a mustache.

A few minutes passed, and Teacher Akiyama ended his chatter: "Well, in short, don't worry, Xingri. If you need any help then, just call me. If you are here, Sakuraba Your classmates should be able to teach you a lot of things, so study hard."

"...I, I see..." Katase Hoshiri said in a voice as thin as a mosquito.

Teacher Akiyama turned around and told Rintaro a few things, then said that she would have something to do later and left.As soon as the door was closed, the only ones left in the classroom were Katase Seiri sitting at the table, and Rintaro standing in front of the desk waiting for the two of them to finish speaking.

The two looked at each other, and Katase Seiri lowered his head slightly.Rintaro felt that it was unlikely that Katase Seiri would start the conversation, so he decided to go first.

Arriving next to the chair that had just been pulled away, Rintaro returned the chair to its preset position and spoke to her: "The general situation is the same as what Teacher Akiyama said just now. I just have better grades. I'm just a student in the same grade as you, and I'm about the same age as you, so don't be nervous or anything, just call me Rintaro."

"...I, I understand, Sakuraba-san..."

"...Forget it, if you think it's easier to pronounce, you can call me this." Rintaro sighed in his heart.Things like personality cannot be changed by changing it. Things like getting along with each other, just take your time: "As for me... I will just call you by your name, because I heard that you are included in your family. There are three sisters in total, right?”

Katase Seiri nodded: "Nao, just call me by my name, you're welcome..."

"Xingli-san, although I will be your tutor now, this was only decided yesterday. I don't know you very well. If possible..." Rintaro paused and looked at Katase Seiri was a little afraid to look directly into his own eyes: "...can you tell me what your scores were in the last monthly exam?"

After hearing Rintaro's words, Katase Seiri shrank slightly, and then while thinking about his results, he reported a series of numbers to Rintaro in a small voice.

And this string of numbers also successfully shocked Rintaro.

There are many subjects that Japanese high school students have to study. Although in Rintaro's opinion, there are many categories that can be classified into the same subject, whether it is separated or put together, Katase Seiri's results are somewhat higher than Rintaro's. Imagine.

He originally wanted to ask Katase Seiri where he ranked in their class, but now that he thought about it... he might as well forget it.It's not much better anyway, so it's better not to ask to avoid making her sad.

Feeling that Katase Seiri was looking at him nervously, Rintaro tried not to let her see his psychological burden, and said with a straight face: "Fortunately, there is still a lot of room for improvement. I will work hard next." alright."
