Chapter 7

On the rooftop of Chiba High School.

This is a great place to have lunch.

However, most people don't come here.

As for the reason? It's simple, it's too far.

When Yuigahama Yui opened the rooftop door, she felt a bit tired.

Suyu followed behind her and walked into the rooftop.

Yuigahama Yui went to the edge of the rooftop, where she could see the direction of the soccer field.

The entire rooftop was surrounded by a protective net.

Suyu glanced at the direction of the sea, remembering the introduction in the anime.

Since it's a school by the sea, there are occasional sea breezes.

Thinking about this, he subconsciously looked at Yuigahama Yui.

A gentle breeze blew by.

The hem of the girl's skirt fluttered.

"Mr. Suyu!" Yuigahama Yui turned her head, noticing Suyu's gaze, and couldn't help but call out.

"Reality is indeed not as beautiful." Suyu sighed and walked towards the bench.

"I didn't expect Mr. Suyu to be this kind of person." Yuigahama Yui blushed and sat down.

"I'm a guy, so having such thoughts should be considered normal. Of course, the biggest reason, I think, should be you." Suyu opened his bento box.

"Do you mean it's my fault?" Yuigahama Yui pouted.

"I mean, you're too cute." Suyu said without looking up.

"Even if you praise me like this, I... I won't forgive you easily." Yuigahama Yui's face turned red.

"Do you want to try my bento?" Suyu handed the bento box to Yuigahama Yui.

Yuigahama Yui glanced at Suyu's bento and felt it was quite abundant.

She looked at her own bento, which seemed to be a bit less impressive compared to Suyu's.

"If you don't try it, will you forgive me?" Suyu reminded her.

"Let's see after I try it." Yuigahama Yui took out her chopsticks and picked up a piece of tamagoyaki.

After tasting it, her eyes lit up, and she picked up a piece of tonkatsu.

After finishing the tonkatsu, Yuigahama Yui smiled and put down her chopsticks.

"I'll forgive you this time."

"Thank you, Yuigahama, for forgiving me, even though I didn't see anything."

"Do you... want to see?" Yuigahama Yui looked at him.

"Want to, but also don't want to." Suyu was taken aback for a moment.

"Why don't you want to? Aren't guys all...?" Yuigahama Yui's face turned slightly red.

"If it was an accidental glance just now, it should be considered lucky. But I betrayed Yuigahama's trust in me and had inappropriate thoughts." Suyu said slowly.

"Inappropriate thoughts?" Yuigahama Yui, hearing Suyu's words, turned her head.

Her face was tinged with a blush.

Suyu saw the blush on her face and didn't say more, quietly eating his lunch.

Yuigahama Yui paused for a moment, seeing Suyu eating his lunch, and sneakily glanced at him, then opened her own bento box.

The two of them ate their bentos in silence.

The weather was nice today, and the breeze that followed the sea wind felt very comfortable.

After finishing their bentos.

Suyu couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing this, Yuigahama Yui placed her bento box beside her and patted her skirt.

"Mr. Suyu, the... knee pillow is ready."

"Thank you, but I'm suddenly not sleepy anymore."

"Really?" Yuigahama Yui looked at him.

"Really." Suyu avoided her gaze.

"Then why don't you look at me?"

"I'm afraid I might have inappropriate thoughts."

"Can't you... be a bit braver?"

"I... I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know how to interact with girls."

Hearing this, Yuigahama Yui hesitated for a few seconds and then moved closer to Suyu.

Seeing this, Suyu slowly extended his hand.

When he touched Yuigahama Yui's small hand, he gently held it.

Yuigahama Yui didn't refuse, lowering her head, her face already flushed red.

"Are you... free this afternoon?" Suyu spoke up.

"Uh-huh." Yuigahama Yui nodded.

"Want to watch a movie?" Suyu asked.

"Y-Yes." Her voice was very soft.

"Then... to prepare for the movie this afternoon, can I... borrow your knee pillow to lie down for a bit?" Suyu looked at her.

Yuigahama Yui softly nodded.

Suyu then pulled away a bit and slowly lay down on Yuigahama Yui's knee pillow.

He closed his eyes, and drowsiness came over him.

...

In the afternoon class.

Probably because he had slept for an hour during lunch break.

Suyu wasn't sleepy anymore.

He only needed five hours of sleep, and today he was just one hour short, which he had made up for.

Yuigahama Yui, because of what happened during the lunch break, couldn't help but look in his direction after class.

Suyu noticed this and remembered something.

Yuigahama Yui's grades were not good.

Miyabi Yumiko and Eriko Himeji also seemed to be not good at this.

So...

"Does love start with improving grades?"

To increase Miyabi Yumiko's and Yuigahama Yui's favorability, and to at least become friends with Eriko Himeji.

His options seemed to be only one.

Thinking about this, a name popped up in Suyu's mind, Yuki Snow.

Her grades were unquestionable.

Suyu hadn't taken any exams yet, so he wasn't sure about his own grades, but with his current knowledge, he definitely couldn't have excellent grades.

Memory enhancement was a good skill that could help him improve his grades in a short time.

...

After school.

After sending a message to Yuigahama Yui, Suyu ran out of the classroom.

He came to the door of Yuki Snow's class and immediately saw her packing up her things.

Yuki Snow finished packing her commuting bag and walked out of the classroom.

Seeing Suyu, she was slightly taken aback.

Then, she walked towards the direction of the Service Club.

Suyu followed her directly.

When they reached an uninhabited place.

Yuki Snow stopped.

"Is there something you need?"

"I want to borrow all of your notes."

Suyu looked at Yuki Snow's back.

"Reason."

Yuki Snow turned to look at Suyu.

"For love."

Suyu looked directly at Yuki Snow.

"To improve my grades and then tutor the other person?" Yuki Snow guessed Suyu's thoughts.

"Yes." Suyu didn't hide it.

"Just with notes, how much can you improve?" Yuki Snow asked.

"If my grades are not good, I will read the light novel I wrote in front of you." Suyu said seriously.

Yuki Snow was taken aback for a moment.

Then, a smile appeared on her face.

"Top ten, if you can't do it, then let me listen to your light novel properly."

"Yuki, you are indeed that kind of person."

"Suyu, it seems you have some understanding of me?"

"I guessed."

"You guessed quite accurately." Yuki Snow flicked her hair, smiling.

"The other side of the high and mighty flower?" Suyu came to her front.

Yuki Snow opened her commuting bag, took out all her notes, and handed them to Suyu.

Suyu took the notes and looked at her.

"This is the benefit of being a member of the Service Club."

"Minister Yuki, I feel for the first time that joining the Service Club might be the best decision of my life."
