“Um… Amami-san, sorry, I…”This chapter is up to date by nov(e)(l)biin.com

It felt like I’ve seen one thing that I shouldn’t have seen. I shortly averted my gaze from Amami-san.

Sure, I used to be the one who known as her out, however nonetheless, I didn’t assume it was a good suggestion for me to maintain watching her crying face.

Seeing me performing like that, Amami-san calmly wiped her tears earlier than letting out a smile.

“No, it’s advantageous, don’t fear about it. I’m just a bit upset due to my mother… Anyway, have been you on the lookout for me?”

“Yeah. Eri-san seemed troubled, so I provided to assist. Nitta-san can be on the lookout for you.”

“I see. I believed I’d cool off right here for ten minutes first earlier than going again, however it looks as if I made everybody fear about me as a substitute… Hehe, I’m actually ineffective at this type of factor, aren’t I? All the time selfishly prioritizing my very own feelings with out interested by the results of my actions…”

She set free a bitter snicker earlier than crouching down once more.

It appeared like she didn’t need to return to Eri-san’s aspect for now. Nicely, no less than she wasn’t rejecting my presence right here.

Since that was the case, I suppose I might keep right here for some time and take heed to what she needed to say.

I knowledgeable Umi and Nitta-san that I’ve discovered her earlier than sitting down on the bench by her aspect.

“Maki-kun, how did your midterms go?”

“Huh?”

As I used to be racking my mind, attempting to provide you with one thing to open up a dialog, Amami-san beat me to it. From her tone, it appeared like she had one thing to say, so I suppose I ought to simply lend my ears to her for essentially the most half.

“It went easily. Sensei additionally didn’t have a lot to say about me. She’s simply telling me to get alongside higher with the opposite classmates…”

“Is that so? Nicely, if you happen to ask me, you’re doing effectively on that entrance too, Maki-kun. You’ve been speaking to Nagisa-chan recently, proper?”

“Nicely, sure, however that isn’t what she was attempting to say… Anyway, overlook about me. What about you? What did Sensei say to you?”

“Ugh, I’m the one asking the questions right here, Maki-kun…”

“As one in every of your tutors, I really feel like I’ve the proper to know, Amami-san. I imply, I must know if my efforts have been useful to you or not for future reference.”

Though her examination outcome was the results of her personal onerous work, as somebody who had informed her to concentrate on solely particular components of the examination, I additionally bore a part of the tasks to that outcome.

If her grade was decrease than earlier than, then it will be my fault for instructing her the improper factor, and I’d should no less than apologize.

“In case you actually need to know… Right here’s the examination outcome that Sensei gave me…”

“Ah, thanks.”

She handed me a crumpled paper from her pocket. I fastidiously seemed by its content material, ensuring that I wouldn’t miss something.

“Huh?”

Seeing the outcomes of every topic stunned me.

In brief, her grades improved significantly; There have been no crimson marks and in a few of the topics, her grades even reached the category’ common.

…The latter topics have been the humanities topics, the issues that I taught her in our examine periods.

“Um, isn’t this a tremendous outcome, Amami-san? You’re breaking your personal private document.”

“It’s nothing a lot… No, really, I used to be stunned that my grades might go that top. That is all due to Maki-kun and my dad who taught me… Are you stunned too?”

“Sure. Truthfully, I anticipated you to have full crimson marks on each topic.”

“How terrible! I do know I’ve been performing weirdly recently, however I’ve been doing my greatest to review, okay? …I even reached my private objective this time, you see?”

Though the time you spent on finding out couldn’t actually be used as an indicator whether or not you’d move the examination or not, if you happen to have been to see what all of us had achieved up thus far, there was an enormous hole between, say, Umi and Amami-san.

That was why Amami-san’s phrases have been right. If she didn’t change herself, her dream would keep as a dream.

However…

“…Whether or not you determine to vary or not, Amami-san, I don’t actually care.”

“Eh?”

Amami-san checked out me with a clean look. She in all probability wished me to scold her, to encourage her in order that she might do higher, however sadly, I couldn’t meet that expectation of hers…

Guess my dangerous behavior of being meddlesome and spouting nonsense nonetheless persevered, huh?

“Truthfully, I don’t assume there’s any level so that you can attempt with a traditional technique. You don’t have sufficient time to make up for all of the instances you’ve spent slacking off. Within the first place, you don’t have the capabilities to compete with everybody who’s aiming to move the Okay College entrance examination. Earlier than that, there’s additionally the Nationwide Entrance Examination so that you can undergo.”

“Uh? M-Maki-kun?”

“…Sorry, I had so many issues to say… I blurted out a bunch of issues by chance…”

If she simply wished to enhance her total educational capabilities, certain, finding out onerous might do it. However, she was aiming for the doorway examination, that was an entire totally different factor fully. She solely had one likelihood to even attempt one thing and there have been a whole lot of components that contributed whether or not you’d move the examination or not, together with however not restricted to your bodily and psychological well being.

However, Amami-san was somebody who might positively take that one likelihood. She had already finished so with our college’s entrance examination, which was infamous for being one of many hardest in the entire prefecture.

After all, instances like that, the place folks tried to take their likelihood and succeed have been few and much between, however they existed.

“I can perceive the place Eri-san and Yagisawa-sensei got here from. You’re primarily preventing a dropping battle right here, in spite of everything. However, if you happen to’re agency in your determination to go to the college to observe Umi and I, that’s fully okay.”

“Is that actually okay? I’ve no objectives or something. I simply need to go there to be along with you two. Isn’t it impolite in direction of different individuals who have correct objectives?”

“I don’t learn about that and I don’t care. The explanation why I made a decision to go there’s additionally as a result of I need to go to the identical college as Umi. If these individuals who have correct objectives really lose out to me, somebody with such a superficial cause, then, that’s fully on them for not attempting onerous sufficient.”

In the true world, regardless of how onerous you tried, if you happen to couldn’t get the outcome you wished, they’d simply deal with it as you hadn’t tried onerous sufficient.

Truthfully, it felt unhappy that individuals all the time disregarded somebody’s efforts for outcomes, however that was the way it was.

And that was additionally the rationale why Amami-san had the prospect.

“…Truthfully, I don’t care if you happen to’ll move and enter the college along with us or not. So long as Umi is with me, your presence actually doesn’t matter… Sorry, that was impolite of me, wasn’t it?”

“Wow, that’s fairly chilly. It’s advantageous, Maki-kun, I perceive. You’re that sort of individual, in spite of everything. You telling me the reality like this with out beating across the bush is your manner of exhibiting your kindness, I perceive that.”

“No, I went too far simply now—”

“As I mentioned, don’t thoughts it. I do know that you just meant effectively, Maki-kun. Greater than anybody, you’re the kindest individual I’ve recognized… And likewise…”

‘The largest dummy I ever knew.’

“Huh?”

After letting out that mutter, Amami-san did an sudden factor.

“A-Amami-san?”

“Dummy… Maki-kun, you’re an fool!”

As a result of her sudden actions, my response was delayed, so I might solely obtain her.

She was so near me that I might contact her golden hair, odor her scent and really feel the heat of her physique.

Why would she do that?

For what cause did she embrace me?
