I Got Into a Secret Relationship With a Girl Who Was Out of My League
—-Midterm exams. For students, they are an inevitable test of fate.
The second semester was already halfway over in the blink of an eye.
This was the halfway point. The results here, along with the final exam results, would greatly determine whether students could relax and enjoy the New Year.
Failing a subject would increase the likelihood of remedial classes, and in the worst case, could even lead to promotion issues.
In the worst-case scenario, students would face the tragedy of having all their holiday freedom taken away.
And I have a history of this.
In the first semester, I failed several exams in both the midterm and final exams.
As a result, I had to attend remedial classes during summer vacation.
To be honest, when I first entered high school, I was distracted by family issues and working part-time jobs, which made it hard to focus on studying…but that’s just an excuse.
The reality is that I’m simply not that smart.
“Oh, that’s rare. Subaru studying?”
“It’s exam season, so of course I’m studying.”
“But you got failing grades in the first semester, didn’t you?”
“Well, that’s…I was just really busy.”
Even after I started going to school, I spent my free time studying.
I mainly focused on math and English.
“But why did you suddenly get so motivated?”
“That’s true. You didn’t seem to care that much about getting a failing grade in the first semester.”
“Well…”
There is a reason.
I remember the conversation I had with Nanamori the other day.
＊＊＊
“What rank were you in the first semester final exams, Yagami kun?”
“…Around 140th.”
There are about 200 students in the grade. 140th out of 200.
There are still people below me, but it’s still on the lower end.
“Um, did you take any summer remedial classes?”
“Yes, I did.”
I honestly tell Nanamori, who asks with a slightly worried expression.
“Are you studying for the midterm exams?”
“No…”
“What subjects are you struggling with?”
“English and math. Also Japanese.”
I can’t do them at all.
When I said that, Nanamori let out a small sigh.
Wait, is she disappointed in me?
“This tutoring won’t mean we’ll have less time together, right?”
“Well…I can’t say for sure.”
When I say “time together,” some people might think of it as spending time with a lover, but for us, it simply means having sex.
If that’s the case, it could affect Nanamori’s stress relief.
To be honest, since I started being with Nanamori, my grades have been dropping.
To be precise, it depends on the results of the next midterm exam, but even in the occasional quizzes, I’ve been getting worse grades than before.
After all, I work part-time, and even on days when I don’t work, I’m with Nanami. I’m living a very fulfilling life.
After work, I can’t bring myself to study after being with Nanamori.
Of course, I haven’t told Nanamori about this.
“Maybe, Yagami kun, you’re not studying at all because you’re too busy having sex with me, right?”
“………..”
She had accurately guessed what I was thinking, and I looked away. Nanamori noticed immediately and sighed again.
…..She sighs a lot. Is it my fault?
“It’s my fault, isn’t it? I’m sorry.”
“No, it’s just that I’m not studying—-“
“No, it’s my fault. I’m making you help me relieve my stress, and that’s affecting your studies. You can’t deny that, can you?”
“…….”
“Well, I guess it can’t be helped.”
Unable to deny what Nanamori said, I fell silent, and she muttered softly.
…Is she going to ask to terminate the contract?
No, this is simply my fault. My poor grades are making Nanamori feel guilty.
We originally made the contract under the pretext of “dirtying her” and now our relationship is based on the excuse of stress relief.
If I’m causing stress to the other party, then terminating the contract is unavoidable.
If that happens, will Nanamori look for someone else? Someone other than me.
…But if that happens…I don’t like that idea very much.
However, my concerns prove to be unfounded.
“I’ll help you with your studies, Yagami kun.”
“…Huh?”
“What? Why the surprised face? Did I say something weird?”
“No, I just thought you were going to ask to terminate the contract.”
“Our relationship? …Haha, there’s no way that would happen, right?”
I was momentarily captivated by Nanami’s teasing, innocent smile.
And for some reason, I felt relieved that the contract wasn’t being terminated.
“Who else besides Yagami kun can help me relieve my stress and sexual desires? There’s no one else who’s so convenient, and it’s too much trouble to look for someone else, right?”
“There are plenty of people who would be willing to be with Nanamori.”
“That’s why I don’t want anyone to develop romantic feelings for me. With Yagami kun, I can feel at ease, right?”
“….Yeah, I guess so.”
I recalled the conditions once more, smiled slightly, and nodded.
There are probably plenty of people who want to be with Nanamori, but there aren’t many who meet these conditions.
I’m…fine. I should be fine…
“But what should I do?”
“…What?”
“At school, everyone’s watching, and I think this is the only time I can look at you… but then we won’t have time for sex…”
“That’s… true.”
Once we start, there’s no way I’ll feel like studying afterward.
There’s no way. That’s why my grades are dropping.
“Hmm…I guess there’s no choice. We’ll have to abstain until the midterm exams are over.”
“Abstain…”
My sexual desire has grown stronger than before.
To be honest, now that I know that pleasure, it’s pretty tough to not be able to do it regularly like before.
“Are you okay with that, Nanamori?”
“Of course I’m not okay with it! I don’t like it either. But if I don’t do this, you won’t be able to study, right?”
“That’s true.”
“So let’s study hard for the midterm exam, okay? Yeah, if we get in the top 100…yeah. I’ll give you a reward.”
“A reward?”
“Well…like what I mentioned earlier, doing it in uniform? Or any other outfit is fine too. Or anything else is fine too.”
Let’s try our best.
＊＊＊
Doing it in uniform is a kind of fantasy, I think.
We men are pitiful beasts driven by our sexual desires, and I realize that once again.
That’s the reason for my lust, but another reason is that Nanamori is helping me with my studies, so I can’t just ignore her.
“Then, let’s make it a competition.”
“A competition?”
“Yeah. A competition for test rankings?”
“What’s the point of that?”
To begin with, these guys had better grades than us in the first semester.
By the way, Akihiko was around 100th place, and Shinji was around 90th place.
I don’t think I can win by just doing my usual thing. In fact, it’s annoying that my grades are lower than these guys who are always saying stupid things.
“There’s no benefit ! But the loser has to do a penalty game !”
“No, that makes it even more pointless…”
“Are you running away? Are you a man who runs away from a challenge? Are you still getting xxx points? Are you impotent?”
Ugh, annoying. Akihiko is provoking me to death.
Who’s impotent!
“Well, yeah. That alone would put Subaru at a disadvantage. So, the loser does the penalty game…If Subaru beats one of us, I’ll treat you both to a week of meals at the cafeteria.”
…Then there’s an advantage for me too.
“…Well, if that’s the case.”
It’s not an excuse, but I used to barely study at all.
So I’ll have Nanami help me study, and winning shouldn’t be impossible.
“By the way, what’s the penalty game?”
“Hmph. That’s something to look forward to after you lose !”
“No, I don’t plan on losing.”
“I’m looking forward to seeing you lose and make a fool of yourself.”
“Alright, let’s do this, Akihiko !”
“…But why are you guys teaming up to take me down?”
We’re friends, right? That’s clearly a villain’s line.
“Well…..”
“It’s because we’re jealous that girls have been talking to you lately ! !”
I was so annoyed that I decided to win even more and see their embarrassed faces.
