"I said, you are interfering with our practice." The basketball club president came and said to Ryuji.
Ryuji said lightly: "Yotsuba isn't a member of your club, why bother you when I'm chatting with her?"
"This..." The basketball club president was speechless, they couldn't say they needed Yotsuba to come back for the ball.
"Come back to train Yotsuba, we need you."
Unable to get a head start on Ryuji, the basketball club president targets Yotsuba.
Evil people who don't know how to resist like this are very easy to understand.
"This..." Yotsuba hesitated.
"The time after this fool becomes mine, you should go to the back row." Ryuji covered Yotsuba's head with his hands.
"This kind of talk is too easy to misunderstand!" Yotsuba said with a red face.
The basketball club president changed her face slightly, "Are you Yotsuba's boyfriend?-"
"No!" Yotsuba's pretty face turned red.
"Just friend!"
Common friends aren't that close! The basketball club president complained in her heart.
"By the way, does that person look familiar?" A member next to her reminded her in a low voice.
"Looks like Hyakki Ryuji from class B 2nd year."
"Who's that?" Some members don't know.
"The new school bully!"
"School bully?" The basketball club president's expression didn't change much.
The title of school thug also had a deterrent effect on Year 1 and 2 students, but had little effect on Year 3 students.
"What do you think, Yotsuba, should you go or stay?" The basketball club president asked.
No matter what anyone else said, the final decision still rested with Yotsuba.
Yotsuba turned her head, met Ryuji's eyes, and took a deep breath.
"I'm honored that you could invite me, but sorry, I have other important appointments after school." Yotsuba bowed and apologized to the basketball club president.
"Sure, if you need a helper for a match, you can give me a call anytime!"
Yotsuba never said no, rejected someone for the first time, feeling uncomfortable but relieved.
The stone feeling pressing down on her heart disappeared.
"What are you talking about, stupid!"
"Hyakki-san, you called me stupid several times today!" Yotsuba puffed out her cheeks.
"Because you're stupid."
"Hyakki-san!"
Such conversation looked like flirting no matter how one looked at it.
The basketball club president smiled wryly, not only losing her dignity, but also watching the couple making out.
"Since that's the case, let's go first." Yotsuba said to the basketball club president.
"Wait." The basketball club chairman called her to quit.
Yotsuba's heart tightened, afraid of being blamed by.
"At least take a shower and change your clothes. Even though it's summer, you will easily catch a cold if you sweat all over your body."
"President..." Yotsuba was a little moved.
....
Half an hour had passed since Ryuji and Yotsuba returned to the Nakano house.
"Since you've wasted so much time, be more serious during class!" Ryuji glared at Yotsuba.
"I understand, I promise to complete the task!" Yotsuba are full of energy.
Ichika looked at Ryuji and Yotsuba, wondering if Ryuji would also subdue Yotsuba.
The guidance took two hours, and Yotsuba literally sank into a ball.
"It can't be done, it's more tiring than being at the club." Yotsuba complained.
"Too bad you can't go back on your word here, even if you wanted to go back now," Ryuji said lightly.
"I will not go back on my word!" Yotsuba said loudly, "I made a promise with everyone, we will graduate together!"
At some point, the quintuplets made a deal to graduate together; if one of them didn't pass, the other four would stay together.
Yotsuba was the worst of the quintuplets, so she was probably the one who failed to pass because of her grades.
That's why she's working so hard now, so as not to drag her sister down because of herself.
"'I will always be with you until you graduate', I originally wanted to say something like this, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget about it." Ryuji said.
"Haha, is Hyakki-san stupid? You already said it," Yotsuba laughed.
"It's just that I don't want you to say that." Ryuji said helplessly.
"Anyway, I intend to only tutor you until this semester."
Ryuji's words silenced the entire room.
"Could father say something more?" Ichika asked worriedly.
"That is not true." Ryuji said: "After all, I have my own work, so I can't guarantee fixed tutoring times in the future."
"So, it would be great if you could stabilize your grades in the passing line at the end of the semester."
"You scared me." Yotsuba felt relieved.
Not being able to guarantee fixed tutoring times doesn't mean tutoring isn't possible, and their relationship hasn't changed.
"Ryuji, you have a bad heart," Miku said with a hint of hatred.
She was actually almost scared now!
