How To Ruin A Love Comedy

Chapter 7: The Tutorial Ends

Chapter 7: The Tutorial Ends

***

Whats the point in if I can understand Japanese? I dont know any of the fundamentals.

I want Miyuki to tutor me already.

Having endured the impulse to tear apart the math test paper, I finished all the multiple-choice questions and fell onto my desk.

There are five more tests to go, so its better to rest up and get ready for the next test rather then continue to waste my time on this test.

Well, since I was bad at studying to begin with, I am certainly doomed anyway.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

I, who was asleep, moved my body as soon as the bell rang.

When I did, the female student on my right looked at me and giggled.

My blurry eyes, and the marks my arm left on my cheeks must have been amusing to look at.

Is it funny to you?

She hesitated for a second because of my awkward way of speaking, but she nodded slightly.

No Sorry about that. The imprints on your face. You must have been very sleepy. Do you want some gum?

Recently because I now have a tamer appearance, other students who would have avoided me in the past are beginning to talk to me.

I smacked my lips like a tired person and reached forward with my hand.

Give me one. No Id like one.

OK. Here.

She shyly stretched out her hand.

When I started chewing the gum, I realized that it was blueberry flavoured.

Have I actually ever had a blueberry before?

As so long as tastes good.

I, who decided to take it back it a notch, thanked the girl.

Thank you. Lets be friends from now on.

Upon hearing that, her face became contemplative.

It looks like she misunderstood something What was it?

No way she thought that me telling her lets be friends meant she would have bad shit done to her right?

As I was thinking about that, the middle aged prof came up and collected my test.

Matsuda-kun. You shouldnt talk until all the tests are collected.

Yes sir.

Maybe because Ive been obedient recently, but the profs gaze was very friendly.

But he sees my exam scores, I feel like he will curse out of frustration, so Im getting rather worried.

Break time after all the tests fully completed.

I made a chin movement to Miura, who was looking hard at the question book.

Yo, Miura.

Yes?

Did you do well?

I think I got about half of them.

This jerk was not someone who was very good at studying.

Thats why he has an event in Dokiaca where he gets tutored by Miyuki.

Getting half is correct pretty good. A bit unexpected?

I dont think its unexpected If anything I think thats a bit on the bad side?

Then since I guessed all the answers would you say my head is empty?

No I wasnt speaking with that intent. Sorry.

After Miyuki told me to become friends with Tetsuya in the nurses office, I started conversing with Tetsuya a little.

I obviously did not apologize.

Even still, I felt like Tetsuya hated me less than before.

I think its because I stopped harassing him every day and conversed with him, but when I talk to him, it makes my blood boil.

I hate that he keeps his shaggy hair, even during the summer.

But I will be patient, to improve my relationship with Miyuki.

When I looked up slightly, I saw Miyuki discussing the test with her friends.

I dont have to look to know shell come in first.

**

Did the tests go well?

Asked the professor I met during the molester incident.

I snorted before asking.

Do you think I did well?

Not at all.

Then why did you ask if you already knew the answer.

Cant you be more upright Today is the last day of cleaning, right?

Yes.

I thought you were gonna give up after a few days, but was surprised to see you come in even on weekends. Prejudice is a scary thing.

Is that a compliment?

That was a sincere compliment. Keep up the good work until today. Next semester, study hard, and do some extracurricular activities.

Extracurriculars? Of course I have to do it.

As soon as I get to second year, I will join the Judo club which has one of the main heroines, Renka.

As soon as she comes back from a shoulder injury, our Renkas going to have to deal with a bully joining her club I wanna meet her soon.

I will think about it. The problematic student will now leave.

So you do know. Alright, see you.

Cant you at least deny it a little.

I muttered as I left the office, heading to the bathroom.

I ran into Miyuki on the way.

She was tightly hugging her books as she walked, and smiled brightly when she spotted me.

Hello, Matsuda-kun.

I feel like shes been showing me her smile more often, so I felt pretty good.

You already greeted me this morning. Youre doing it again?

Am I not allowed to?

Its not that, but its annoying having to receive it constantly.

Its not that hard to say hello. As I talk more with Matsuda-kun, it feels more and more like youre from a different world. We are totally different. (TL NOTE: I mean she aint wrong about that LMFAO)

Did you think wed be similar?

Look at this. Being sarcastic again. Try to fix that attitude. Did you do well on the test?

Are you seriously asking me that?

Ah That was my bad. Of course you didnt.

No matter how bad I am at studying, thats just prejudiced.

Of course I did bomb the tests.

But I think weve gotten quite close now?

If were chatting like this.

Should I try asking now? In reality, if I dont ask now, I will never have another chance.

I scratched the back of my head, and slowly asked Miyuki, who had a vacant stare.

Yo, Hanazawa.

Yeah?

Perhaps Could you tutor me?

Huh? Tutor?

Her already big eyes expanded to twice the size.

She was not able to speak for a while, but she saw my serious expression and also became serious.

Its commendable But are you being sincere?

I am sincere.

You think about it too. The summer vacation is long.

Without a mentor to keep me on the right path for 2 months, what do you think Ill be doing?

Ill make friends with people who are bad influences, smoke and drink again. Typical bully stuff.

And then once the break is over, theres a high chance Ill come back as Matsuda the trash once again.

Consider these complex factors.

Youre smart. You can at least figure out this much.

Yes. Something like a tutor. Ill give you money.

N-No Its not payment thats important Were the midterms that traumatizing to you?

Yeah, yeah. Im done. I was being sincere and yet you make fun of me. So annoying.

As I passed by Miyuki while ignoring her, she quickly approached and spoke.

I-I wasnt making fun of you. I was just thinking about it. Why are you leaving?

I stood still and faced Miyuki again.

Then youll do it?

I just told you I am thinking about it. One of Matsuda-kuns problems is that he has no patience. So just wait.

How long?

Matsuda-kun.

Alright. Ill just have to wait.

I complained as I leaned against the wall.

I waited for about a minute in a slumped position,

Then Miyuki, who was thinking deeply in a slightly slumped position, asked me a question.

Are you confident that youre going to take it seriously?

Somewhat.

Tell me for certain. I dont wanna waste my time on someone who doesnt want to improve.

What do you think? Do you think Ill work properly? Think objectively.

Why would I be the one that thinks about that? Matsuda-kun should ask himself.

Shes not budging at all.

Of course, I understand that I was suddenly asking for help with my studies.

I stood up straight in the hall, and looked down at Miyuki.

Ill do it properly.

Is that so? Thats good.

She did think for a while, but surprisingly accepted it rather easily.

I stopped myself from smiling and then asked.

Where will we meet? Should I visit you?

Hm Id like to meet in the middle Where do you live Matsuda-kun?

Lower part of Nerimagu.

Is that so? Its closer than I thought? Should we just meet in a cafe near the middle? We have to be quiet in a library so

I guess shed rather die than invite me to her house. Im hurt. Dont you have to be quiet in a cafe as well?

Well I guess you do. Hm I dont wanna meet at park since its hot out

If we look at a map and its close enough, why dont you just come over? My house will be vacant.

Huh? Thats a bit Your parents will be there too

Theyre dead.

.

When I spoke as if to say its not a big deal, Miyuki closed her mouth tight.

Her pupils shook like an earthquake and I could tell she was visibly flustered.

So-Sorry I

What are you sorry about. I dont even care. Its been so long I dont remember their faces anymore.

Ma-Matsuda-kun! Can you speak more kindly?

Her panicked state was cute.

Just give me your line ID. We can talk details later. I have to clean the bathroom.

Ah Alright I understand

Then youre going to tutor me?

Yeah. Ill teach you But you have to really try. If it looks like you are taking it not seriously even a little bit, Im going to stop tutoring you.

I get it.

Tetsuya will also ask the same thing of Miyuki.

Miyuki will obviously accept, and tell me that the three of us will study together.

Im a little disappointed that I wont be alone with Miyuki, but it doesnt really matter.

Starting from the summer vacation, there will be all sorts of events.

I just have to be there instead of Tetsuya.

Or at the very least, be there as a group of three.

I just have to make sure Tetsuya and Miyuki arent together by themselves.

The early stages of Dokiaca involves earning money that youll use later, or figuring out info about the game.

To put it simply, its a tutorial.

And you could say that I just finished the tutorial.

Now is the time to begin fully enjoying Dokiaca.

**

Wow This house is awesome Right? Tetsuya-kun.

Yeah. Its super big

Tetsuya and Miyuki were talking and laughing outside the main entrance.

In the end, we decided to meet at my house.

Tetsuya joined the tutoring sessions as I expected, and it resulted in me having two visitors.

I turned the AC to max, put on my slippers, and came out of the living room.

I was going through the weed infested stone pathway to open the door,

Matsuda-kun! We are here!

Miyuki shouted.

I chuckled and opened the front door.

And I looked at the two people with an interested gaze.

There is a bell, so why are you shouting? Did you come? Miura.

When I moved my chin towards Miura, he awkwardly raised one hand.

Hello, Matsuda.

What do you mean hello Among three heroes, you cant even pick one and youre all flustered, you worthless bastard.

I cussed him out on the inside as I moved my body to the side.

Come in.

As I said that, Miyuki stepped inside the house with a bright expression.

Miyukis fit today was a shirt t shirt, and a skirt which went down to her ankles.

Every time she walks, it reveals her delicate and pale ankles which turns me on.

Where should we go?

Miyuki turned her head and asked.

I was walking with Tetsuya, when I came to my senses and replied.

If you follow the road, youll see the living room.

Shouldnt the home owner normally lead the way? Also Matsuda-kun, dont you take care of the weeds?

Do I really have to?

Thats very much like Matsuda-kun. However

Miyuki cut herself off and looked towards the flower garden.

After seeing the wilted plants, she shuddered and scolded me.

Matsuda-kun! Why are you leaving them out like this? They are all dying!

Dying? Arent they all already dead?

Then what should I do with them? Toss them out?

Thats not what Im saying! Why is the sprinkler left like that?

Cause I dont use it?

I really cant understand you at all

Miyuki, who was looking around, found the watering can outside and headed towards it.

She meticulously washed the watering supply and checked the condition of the plants.

It feels weird, almost as if she is a girlfriend who came over to live together.

If I can just do something about this insect standing beside me, I feel like Id have a very enjoyable time But theres nothing that can be done.

What are you doing? Lets get inside.

Ah, alright.

I went to the living room with Tetsuya and started to set up the table where we were going to study.
