Episode 65 – Studying Together 1


I, Who Was Reincarnated as an Evil Character With Cheat-Level Stats in an Eroge, Will Live Freely in This Life


โ€œAlright, I’m here.โ€

I had promised to meet at Saki’s place for a study session today, so I arrived at her house at 1 PM.

From our messages, it seemed Kana and Miku were already there.

Well, we’d only agreed on โ€œafternoonโ€โ€”no specific time was set.

This was my first time coming to Saki’s house since that timeโ€ฆ Thinking that, I pressed the doorbell.

(Ping-pong)

Almost immediately, the door opened, and Harumi-san appeared.

โ€œAh, hello Harumi-san.โ€

โ€œHello, Seito-kun. I heard about you. Come on in, come on in. Kana-chan and Miku-chan are already here too.โ€

Harumi-san welcomed me with a big smile.

She’s always been like that since I first met herโ€”such a kind person.

Saki’s the same way. They really do feel like mother and daughter. Saki smiles more now that she’s gained confidence, even more so.

โ€œGot it. Well then, I’ll be intruding.โ€

โ€”And so I was invited inside.

โ€œSpeaking of which, I hear you’re incredibly smart, Seito-kun. I heard you even beat Miku-chan?โ€

โ€œWell, yes. I do beat Suzukaze on tests, but it’s not that big a difference. Besides, Saki-san ranks high too, right?โ€

I’m first, Miku is second. It’s definitely high, but Saki is tenth, which is still pretty high.

Besides, the high school I attend is pretty competitive to begin with.

As for Kanaโ€ฆ well, that’s still up in the air.

โ€œFufu, I see. Well then, study hard. If you can, please teach the others too.โ€

โ€œOf course. I’ll definitely try to help them as much as I can. Since you went to the trouble of inviting me.โ€

โ€œThank you, Seito-kun.โ€

After giving me a plastic bottle of tea, she guided me to Saki’s room.

โ€œWell, this is it. Take your time inside.โ€

โ€œYes. Thank you.โ€

As soon as Harumi-san left after saying that, Saki’s door opened.

โ€œAh! I thought I heard a voiceโ€ฆ it really is Seito-senpai!!โ€

โ€œStudying hard?โ€

โ€œI am tryingโ€ฆ but please come in!โ€

And so, I entered Saki’s room.

The room felt exactly like what I imagined a girl’s room would be.

It was quite similar to Kana’s room, maybe? Plus, there were quite a few Himekawa Ruruka goods, even some non-sellable items, which made me a little envious.

There wasn’t a PC, so she probably had a separate room for streaming.

Honestly, it was a bit intriguing, but I came here to study today, so I’d better forget about it for now.

โ€œAre you two working hard?โ€

โ€œOf course we are!โ€

โ€œI’m working hard too.โ€

โ€œAs for Miku-nee, she’s desperately trying to beat you, Seito-senpai.โ€

โ€œKana! Don’t say unnecessary things!!โ€

โ€œHehe. Okay.โ€

Kana said it with a hint of teasing, while Miku replied looking a bit embarrassed.

Miku was competitive, so it made sense she’d feel that way.

She’d been so frustrated after the last test, after all. Well, I’m no slacker myself, so I have no intention of slacking off either.

โ€œAlright then, let’s study.โ€

โ€œYeah.โ€

โ€œOkay.โ€

โ€œMm.โ€

And so, the study session began.

โ€œWhat are you guys studying?โ€

โ€œI’m doing English.โ€

โ€œMe too, but it’s tough, huhโ€ฆโ€

โ€œI’m doing math. Honestly, I’d rather not touch Englishโ€ฆ though I am better than before.โ€

She really struggled with English during the last test too.

She’d gotten somewhat better at the other subjects, but English was a different story.

I think she barely scraped by? Well, English isn’t the kind of subject you master overnight.

โ€œKana’s not good at English, after all.โ€

โ€œYeah, that’s trueโ€ฆ I’ve been getting help from Seito-senpai and Miku-nee too, but stillโ€ฆโ€

โ€œWell, Suzukaze and I will help you today too, so let’s do our best. The final exams cover twelve subjects now, after all.โ€

โ€œRight. If you don’t understand something, I’ll teach you.โ€

โ€œYesโ€ฆ Thank you. I’ll probably end up bothering you guys a lot.โ€

โ€œDon’t worry about that.โ€

I said that while stroking Kana’s head, who was sitting next to me.

Well, Kana has huge potential, and if someone like me teaches her, she’ll improve rapidly, so it’ll be fine.

It was the same during the midterms; if Kana has the motivation, she can totally handle it.

For Kana’s future, I want to put in the effort there too.

โ€œSo, Suzukaze and Hiiragi, do you have any subjects you struggle with?โ€

โ€œI’m the same as Kana-chanโ€ฆ English, I guessโ€ฆ It’s just really hard.โ€

โ€œHow did you score on the last test?โ€

โ€œIf it was the midterms, I thinkโ€ฆ around 70 points?โ€

70 points is above average, so it’s not that bad. But since Saki was ranked 10th last time, maybe it’s a bit low if she wants to aim higher?

โ€œI seeโ€ฆ Well, if you have any parts you don’t understand, I’ll help you out too. Not just English, of course.โ€

โ€œThanks, Kisaragi-kun.โ€

โ€œNext is Suzukaze. How about you?โ€

โ€œI don’t really have any subjects I’m bad at.โ€

โ€œCome to think of it, you got almost perfect on the midterm.โ€

Come to think of it, she got 790 out of 800 on the midterm.

Getting that high means you can say you don’t have any weak subjects.

Besides, Miku is the type who stubbornly tries to master anything she can’t do, so it’s only natural she doesn’t have any weak subjects.

She goes to cram school too and works incredibly hard.

โ€œIt’s frustrating to hear โ€˜almost perfectโ€™ from someone who actually got perfectโ€ฆโ€

โ€œUm, sorry about that.โ€

I hadn’t meant it that way at all, but after saying it, I realized it could definitely come off as a bit sarcastic.

โ€œNo need to apologizeโ€ฆ I’m working hard to get a perfect score this time too.โ€

โ€œThis time tooโ€? Does that mean she thinks I can get a perfect score again?

Even though I have a good memory, I do study properly, so I do intend to. But I’m sure Miku can do it too.

โ€œYou can definitely do it, Suzukaze.โ€

โ€œBut if there’s anything I don’t understand, would you teach me?โ€

โ€œOf course. Since we’re studying together anyway, feel free to ask me anything.โ€

โ€œThank youโ€ฆโ€

โ€œAlright, let’s get started then.โ€

โ€œLet’s do it!โ€

And so, the study session officially began.
