It's true that my grades are better than Hijiri's.
However, I was a little worried about whether Mr. Hijiri's pride would allow him to be taught by such an unremarkable, ordinary boy.
"Oh, Yohei, you're helping me too?! Thank you so much. I'll definitely repay you."
...Well, I'm sure Hijiri would say that.
It's not that she has no pride, but rather that she is simply the type of person who doesn't judge others as superior or inferior. To put it simply, Kiyoshi is a good person.
She is a better person than me, who always puts herself down and takes precautions to avoid getting hurt. The same goes for Hime, but they are both well-rounded people, and I respect them for that.
I too would like to do my best to meet their expectations as much as possible.
"Repaying a favor... does that mean you repay with your body?! A rotten physical relationship isn't something high school students should have, you two! This is also a scoop... my fantasies just won't stop!"
...That's vulgar.
However, I actually found this low level of skill a bit comforting. Watching Hisamori-san helps me forget my own immaturity, which is actually a good thing.
And it's typical of her that she can't stop fantasizing, not with a pen. I guess she has no intention of writing an article about it.
I've been wondering for a while, but I wonder if Hisamori-san is surprisingly romantic. She was squealing about my relationship with Hime, and right now my brain is turning pink with the thought of Kiyoshi-san and me, so I feel like it's something similar.
"I, I'm not thinking about that. You always say stuff like that, Kumori-chan, and the student council president will get mad at you for it."
"Sorry! I was on the track and field team, so I just did it!"
"...I don't think the track and field club has anything to do with it."
The track and field club has suffered a lot of negative rumors.
Well, of course, it seems he's not blaming the track and field club for his intense delusions.
"I was in a club that strictly prohibited romance, so I ended up thinking about things like that all the time. I wish I'd been able to have more normal relationships with the opposite sex."
I see.
...No, but I hardly ever had any relationships with the opposite sex either, so my delusions aren't that bad, right?
I think Hisamori is a pervert after all...no, he just has a very intense imagination.
It might be best to end this topic now.
This was because Hime joined the conversation with a puzzled look on her face.
"Yohei-kun, Yohei-kun"
"Yes, yes, what's wrong?"
"Is it wrong to say 'repay a favor with your body'? I thought it meant the same thing as physical labor, but seeing Onee-san and Yohei-kun's reactions, I don't think it's a very nice expression."
Oh, that's bad.
I shouldn't have said this when Hime was there.
"No, you're right! Hime's perception is correct... right, Hijiri-san?"
"That's right! Hime-chan, you don't have to worry about anything weird."
In a panic, he and Kiyoshi try to cover up the incident.
Thank goodness. Kiyoshi had also realised that the current topic was not good for Hime's emotional education. Really, Hisamori-san, it can't be helped... I wish she wouldn't say weird things in front of an eight-year-old.
"...I see. Then I'll try not to worry about it."
Even though she said that, Hime seemed a little worried. However, seeing my and Hijiri's reactions, she must have realized that it would be inappropriate to touch her. She honestly pulled away.
Good thing Hime is an adult now, so everything worked out.
"Sorry!"
And it was strange because the person in question seemed to have no ill intentions and was smiling brightly.
For better or worse, Hisamori is very cheerful.
