The Legend of Chiba Tutoring

Chapter 9 There is nothing outside

Rintaro stopped the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Katase Hazuki who squinted his eyes slightly and stared at him... It should be Katase Hazuki. After all, Katase Yorai is the same age as Akiyama-sensei, and Katase Hazuki Sei Seiri's words give people the impression that they don't look at people the way they do now.

In a sense, although these three sisters do look alike, they are surprisingly easy to distinguish.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?" Rintaro asked, looking at her expression as if she wasn't ready to take the initiative to speak.

"..." Katase Hazuki said nothing, still just staring at Rintaro.

baffling……

Rintaro didn't bother her anymore, just let her watch if she wanted to. The most important thing was to finish lunch and go back to the classroom to take a rest.However, Katase Hazuki, who felt that she was being ignored, was a little unreasonable. She walked up to Rintaro, folded her hands, blocked the sun, and looked at him condescendingly.

"Sakuba Rintaro, that's your name, right?" She asked in her own cold and unique voice: "What is your relationship with that woman... Katase Yorai?"

"It doesn't matter." Rintaro answered truthfully while eating: "I was just entrusted to help your sister improve her academic performance a little. Mr. Akiyama is my class teacher. From the way they talked, they probably knew each other before."

Rintaro tried to use vocabulary to covertly express that he was just a "teacher" and had no role other than that, but Katase Hazuki didn't seem to believe it.

"I'm asking you why I'm looking for you." Her tone was beginning to sound a little impatient. Maybe she had always been like this.

"I don't know. Teacher Akiyama and your sister should have their own considerations." Rintaro replied casually, moving to the side: "I don't know what you want to do, but why don't you sit here for a while? Yes? I'm leaving soon."

"Humph." She expressed her displeasure in one syllable.

Is it possible that all people with the attributes of a eldest lady are like this?It's really troublesome...

Of course, Katase Hazuki didn't just sit down, but chose to turn around and leave.Rintaro briefly glanced in the direction she left, then withdrew his gaze.

This is someone else's family matter and has nothing to do with you. It's best to mind your own business.

Because Katase Hazuki was no longer around, Rintaro sat here to rest for a while after lunch before going back to the classroom.After finishing his afternoon class, he packed up his things and headed to the club building.When he reached a floor with flashing lights, Rintaro walked to the innermost room, opened the door with the key, and waited for the arrival of Katase Seiri inside.

The sound insulation effect of this building is not weak, and only the classroom where Rintaro is on this floor is used. It is as quiet as an apartment at night, except it is slightly brighter and more spacious.

After about a few minutes, Rintaro heard some hasty footsteps coming from the corridor. Within a few seconds, the classroom door was suddenly opened, and a pale-faced Katase Seiri ran out of the classroom. He came in and closed the door.

Rintaro looked at Katase Seiri who was panting a little: "What's...what's wrong with you?"

Rintaro's sudden voice seemed to frighten her. She raised her head suddenly and looked at Rintaro sitting in the middle of the classroom with fearful eyes. Her trembling body recovered a little.

She pointed at the classroom door with a look of fear on her face. Although she didn't speak, she looked like she was probably frightened.

Although Rintaro feels that the lighting conditions and the flashing lights on this floor of the building are too atmospheric, he shouldn't be so scared, right?
"...Are you okay?" Rintaro asked.

Katase Seiri nodded, paused, and shook his head.Rintaro didn't understand what she meant at all, but her hand was still on the classroom door handle and she didn't let go.

Rintaro thought for a moment, stood up, and walked towards where she was.When he arrived at the classroom door, Katase Seiri made some room.Rintaro opened the door a little and looked outside. There was nothing outside, except for the flickering lights and the extremely quiet corridor.

Rintaro came back and looked at Katase Seiri: "There is nothing outside."

"...Really?" she asked nervously.

Although I think it might be fun to lie to her about there being a ghost outside, but in that case she seems a bit pitiful... And as a tutor, she is constantly warning Rintaro not to do this, which may lead to her being fired directly. Stupid things.

Nodding, Rintaro closed the door again.Katase Seiri breathed a sigh of relief, followed Rintaro to the table in the middle of the classroom, came to where he was yesterday, and sat down.

"What happened just now? Are you so scared?"

Perhaps because he calmed down a little, Katase Seiri returned to his previous shy and introverted character: "No, it's nothing... I just feel like someone is staring at me when I go upstairs. I also heard very slight footsteps, as if they were coming upstairs with me..."

She said in a trembling voice while being afraid.

……

Hmm, it must be an illusion.

"Although there are not many people on our floor, there are still people on the fifth floor. Maybe the eyes you feel and the footsteps you hear come from students from a certain club on the fifth floor." Rintaro said slightly. Explained.

"Yes, is that so?" Katase Seiri shrank slightly.

"If you're scared, just go down together later. I'll be waiting for you downstairs tomorrow. So there'll be no problem, right?"

"Ah...um...thank you..."

"You're welcome. Although I'm half a teacher now, in essence I'm just a student of the same age as you. You don't need to be too nervous." Rintaro waved his hand: "Take a short break and let's continue."

"Yeah." Katase Seiri nodded.

For introverts, conversations should not use too many words and an overly enthusiastic attitude, otherwise it will be difficult for her to adapt. Just let nature take its course as it is now.

With yesterday's experience and experience, it will be more efficient to handle these test papers today, but for Rintaro, she also discovered some things that she had not discovered before.
