"Alright, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."
Badr said softly, then saw Miku Nakano raise her hand cautiously.
"Miku, go ahead and ask whatever you want." Badr gestured for her to speak.
"Badr, what kind of girls do you like?"
Badr: "..."
Everyone: "...??"
"Does this have anything to do with studying?" Nino Nakano spoke up, exasperated. She often teased Miku and didn't hesitate to call her out now.
"If my curiosity is satisfied, I can focus better on studying!" Miku insisted earnestly.
Badr chuckled. "Well, you've certainly come up with a seemingly logical reason."
"Haha, yeah, yeah, we're curious too!" Ichika and Yotsuba Nakano both raised their hands with mischievous grins, their gossipy nature on full display.
Badr tilted his head in thought, images of several lovely girls flashing through his mind:
Rias, Asia, Akeno, Koneko, Mai Sakurajima...
These girls possessed countless admirable qualities.
"Gentle, beautiful, understanding, cute yet composed, and good at cooking."
Badr listed a string of traits, leaving the girls momentarily stunned.
"Does such a girl even exist?!" Nino couldn't help but retort.
Badr raised an eyebrow. "Yes, they do."
And they're all my women, how amazing is that?
He didn't notice Miku's expression becoming exceptionally serious as she pondered his words.
Gentle, beautiful, understanding, cute yet composed... she was confident she could achieve those.
But... good at cooking...
That was completely beyond her!
...
Ichika Nakano, standing nearby, noticed Miku's expression.
Her own expression turned slightly thoughtful.
Ichika was quite perceptive and had picked up on Miku's unusual behavior.
Miku... could she have fallen for Badr?
Though she had no concrete evidence, Ichika had a strong intuition.
The question Miku had asked earlier wasn't something someone like her would typically ask out of mere curiosity or as a joke.
Badr quietly observed Miku, also sensing something amiss. Her sudden question was indeed easy to misinterpret.
"Any other questions?" he asked calmly. Yotsuba Nakano was about to raise her hand, but Badr quickly added, "I mean about the study material."
Yotsuba: "Uh..."
Miku mentally encouraged herself. Her girlish feelings were practically written all over her face. She looked at Badr and said softly, "I don't understand this part."
She pointed to a practice problem in the textbook.
Badr glanced at it. "This is simple."
He walked over to Miku and sat down beside her, picking up a pen and explaining the problem with a gentle demeanor.
The sisters' attention gradually shifted towards the boy. He possessed a unique aura, perhaps best described as mysterious.
Listening to Badr's calm and patient explanation, Miku's mind seemed to wander elsewhere. In truth, they all felt the same. With the aid of [Constant Change], they had already memorized the knowledge points covered in this section...
Ichika, observing Miku's distracted state, smirked mischievously. Pretending to reach for a pencil sharpener, she stumbled and "accidentally" bumped into Miku.
Miku let out a soft gasp as she was pushed towards Badr, her body landing against his chest.
"Eh?"
She uttered a confused sound, as if unsure of what had just happened.
When she realized her position, her face flushed crimson.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry! My leg went numb for a moment." Ichika apologized with a smile, all the while observing Miku's reaction.
Seeing her blush confirmed Ichika's suspicion.
The little girl had indeed fallen for him.
Well, it was understandable. Badr was handsome, powerful, gentle, and attentive. He was practically a fairytale hero!
Though... he was a devil.
But that didn't make him any less appealing!
Race wasn't an issue!
After all, even she...
Uh...
As if struck by a sudden thought, Ichika shook her head repeatedly.
Wasn't she acting like a villain, trying to steal her sister's love interest?
But the thought of letting Badr go so easily left her feeling somewhat unwilling.
Ichika laughed inwardly, wondering what had gotten into her.
She wasn't even that close to Badr, so why was she having these strange thoughts? Was she also captivated by him?
Meanwhile, Miku, who had been leaning against Badr for a few seconds, quickly straightened up, her face still flushed, and glared at Ichika.
"Ichika!"
Her expression was a mixture of embarrassment and reproach, as if blaming Ichika for her sudden clumsiness. However, she seemed oblivious to the fact that it had been intentional.
Yet, there was a hint of delight in her eyes. It was her first intimate contact with Badr, after all.
At that moment, Nino, Yotsuba, and Itsuki all looked over with suspicion.
Their gazes were enigmatic, as if they too had sensed something unusual.
Tap, tap.
Badr gently tapped the table and spoke calmly. "Settle down. I'm going to cover the essential exam questions next. They weren't on last year's exam, but they will definitely be on this year's."
His words successfully redirected the girls' attention. Badr sighed inwardly.
I agreed to be your tutor, not the object of your affections! I haven't even done anything to raise your her favor, have I?
Even Ichika Nakano could see it. How could Badr, a young man wise beyond his years, fail to notice?
But when it came to Favor, he couldn't say for sure.
Though he didn't believe in love at first sight, it could ultimately be explained as attraction based on appearance, and he happened to meet the criteria for that "appearance"...
Perhaps he inexplicably possessed a passive buff that increased girls Favorability towards him simply by spending time with them...
Forget it, it doesn't matter. I'm a devil now, why should I care so much?
If they like me, then let it be.
With that thought, Badr decided not to dwell on it any further and continued with his planned lesson.
He organized his thoughts and resumed teaching.
Time passed, and the sky outside turned completely dark.
"Ah, it's already 9 pm?!"
Ichika Nakano exclaimed in surprise. She never imagined she would be able to study so diligently for so long...
"It's true... Time flew by!" Yotsuba Nakano was astonished. "I studied for three hours straight!"
Badr responded with a deadpan expression, "Yeah, I also taught for three hours straight. What a coincidence."
Everyone: "..."
Badr flipped through the textbooks in his hands. "There's still so much material. We might not be able to cover everything in two days."
"Uh, maybe we should just... forget it... It's just the midterm exam anyway." Itsuki Nakano mumbled. In her opinion, the final exam was the most important.
Badr narrowed his eyes slightly.
"According to the terms of our agreement, the midterm exam is included. As long as you all pass, I can consider the request fulfilled and receive my payment sooner. We can't miss this opportunity."
"...So, after completing the request, you won't come anymore?" Yotsuba Nakano suddenly asked.
Her question made the other girls tense up as they all stared expectantly at Badr.
Looking at their anxious expressions, Badr smiled faintly.
"Of course, I won't come anymore unless you have a new request for me."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
So, as long as they had a new request, he would come back!
"Hmph, why would we give you a new request? If we fail this exam, you'll have to continue teaching us, hehe..."
Nino Nakano suddenly spoke up, drawing Badr's attention.
He couldn't help but chuckle.
"I just realized, Nino, you have the potential to be a devil."
"...I was just kidding! Seeing how hard you're working, I'll reluctantly try my best."
Nino Nakano scoffed and turned her head away.
Badr tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Alright, to prevent you from failing the exam, let's have an extra study session tonight. I'll give you two more hours of tutoring."
"Eh?! No way, we've already studied for so long..." Ichika Nakano chuckled nervously. "Let's play some board games."
Badr remained unmoved.
"We'll play after we're done studying."
"..."
...
They continued studying until 11 pm, and everyone was starting to feel tired.
"I made some coffee. Would anyone like some?" Itsuki Nakano offered thoughtfully.
"Yes, please!"
Everyone responded in unison.
Badr got up to help her carry the coffee.
As Badr and Itsuki headed towards the kitchen, Ichika Nakano nudged Miku with a mischievous grin.
"This is a rare opportunity. Aren't you going to seize it?"
