How To Ruin A Love Comedy

***

Me and Tetsuya are at completely different studying levels.

If he is below average, then I am at the bottom.

I thought that if we studied together with this level of difference, it wouldn’t have worked out properly.

So I was surprised when Miyuki skilfully gave individualized instruction to Tetsuya and me according to our own levels.

She answered Tetsya’s questions smoothly and quickly without hesitation.

And while doing that, also made me practice lessons from this semester.

Even I, a brainless idiot was able to follow along and understand easily.

I knew that her passion for education were great, but is this too much of a cheat key?

If she become a teacher in the future, she would become a sensation.

Miyuki, who had been giving customized tutoring for almost two hours without taking a break, leaned her head back and put her hand on her forehead as if she was a little tired.

“Can I take a 20-minute break?”

“Teacher-nim should do as she pleases.”

As if she really enjoyed being called ‘teacher-nim’, the corners of her mouth rose slightly. (TL NOTE: I forgot about the teacher-nim thing for the last couple chapters I’m sorry! I’ll try to remember from now on.)

I could faintly see her beige coloured bra through her white shirt.

It’s not as big as the nurse’s, but they’re still quite large regardless.

The urge to squeeze them won’t go away.

I blinked slowly to calm my thoughts and got up.

“Would you like to drink some juice?”

“Is that alright?”

“Since I’m being tutored for free, so of course you can. Stop asking if you can do things and just think of it as your own home. Drink whatever you want to drink…””Since I’m being tutored for free, so of course you can. Stop asking if you can do things and just think of it as your own home. Drink whatever you want to drink…”

I cut myself off and looked at Tetsuya.

I have to be nice to this bastard as well. So that I can earn points from Miyuki.

“Miura, you don’t have to be so stiff, act comfortably.”

But I couldn’t manage to say anything actually nice.

Tetsuya thanked me feebly.

“Yeah. Thanks, Matsuda.”

I put three cups on a tray, and put the tray down on the desk.

As I did so, Miyuki smiled with her eyes and spoke.

“I’ll enjoy drinking it, Matsuda-kun.”

She brought the cup to her mouth and started drinking.

Even though her face looks more innocent than anyone else, they way she swallows is too sexy.

Even if I think about it a hundred times over, I feel like I’m the one that should have her.

“Matsuda, do you perhaps do any sports?”

As I was admiring Miyuki with mischievous eyes, Tetsuya’s beggar-like voice entered my ears.

I turned my head and answered him.

“I did in the past why? Do you wanna do some sports?”

“No… I just wanted to ask because you have strong arm and chest muscles.”

He said no, but it was obvious he wanted to try.

I guess he wanted to show off your body to Miyuki?

I’m sorry to say, but I won’t do stuff like teaching you how to exercise.

Go look up food intake ratios, shoulder packing, and do it yourself.

“If you used to play in the past… You stopped playing now?”

Miyuki asked further.

I nodded my head weakly.

“Yeah.”

“Could you tell me why you quit?”

“I just didn’t enjoy it anymore.”

Lets put on a slightly melancholy face.

To act like I have some kind of reason, but I made up something to avoid saying it.

“Ah… Yeah. What do you do in the weekends Matsuda-kun?”

Miyuki fell for my act and changed the topic with a sorry expression on her face.

Later when I become closer with Miyuki, I’ll tell her about it when we’re alone if she asks again.

“Weekends? I either go hang out with some kids or stay at home.”

“Kids? You mean Watanabe’s group right? The kids in that circle… The circle name was…”

“Superi circle.”

“Yes… Superi… It contains a lot of problematic students. Matsuda-kun. You’re affiliated with them?”

“That’s right. I joined with Takashi and a couple of our friends.”

“Just why?”

As the immature Matsuda Ken became infamous by causing problems, they sent out an invitation.

I did not want to join.

And I’ll be leaving them soon.

I’ll just use it to gain more affection points from you later.

“I’m not sure. I guess it just kind of happened.”

“… Perhaps… Matsuda-kun, are you proud of being a part of them?

“No. It’s not like that.”

“Then you should just leave. If you stay it’ll only harm Matsuda-kun…”

“Are asking because you are actually worried about me?”

“Of course…! Only students who don’t have any future prospects decide to join that place…! Matsuda-kun is trying to change himself, but that kind of place is…”

Miyuki stopped talking and looked straight at me.

She spoke cautiously, observing my grinning face.

“Of course, you might think I’m being nosy, but…”

“You told me you were sincerely worried about me. I won’t think of it like that.”

“Th-Then… Shouldn’t you leave them…?”

“It’s rather difficult to leave.”

“What do you mean it’s difficult to leave…? Are you perhaps getting blackmailed?”

“Do I look like someone who would get blackmailed?”

“W-Well no… But if there’s any issues then tell me…”

“So that you can tell professor-nim?”

“Superi Circle is being carefully monitored by the academy… It’s a place where troubles happen often, you know that right…? You never know what kind of punishment will come to them in the near future.”

I guess it will be an expulsion as a punishment? A suspension at the very least.

A minor detail I didn’t know while playing Dokiaca, thank you.

Then it’d be a bad for me to stay there any longer wouldn’t it?

I think I’m going to have to act on my plan as soon as the break is over…

I’m going to have to pull my likeability with Miyuki before then.

“Thanks for worrying about me.”

In response to my serious tone, Miyuki tried to say something more but closed her mouth.

As if she understood what decision I had made, her face brightened slowly.

“Alright… If we’re done taking a break should we study now…?”

“Sure.”

**

“I was surprised that you followed along so well today.”

As I saw off Tetsuya and Miyuki at the front door, I burst out laughing at Miyuki’s words.

“Did you think I would give up after a few minutes?”

“Do you want me to tell you honestly?”

“Nah. Just leave.”

“Sure. See you tomorrow.”

“We’re doing this tomorrow too?”

“You forget everything you learn if you don’t practice everyday. Until Matsuda-kun develops a basic foundation and Tetsuya-kun gains application skills, it’s good to study every day.”

I put on an expression which said did people like this really exist… and scratched my head.

Of course, my inner thoughts were the complete opposite of my outside appearance.

“This is no joke…”

“Tough, isn’t it? It’s because you are starting from scratch. It’ll be fun after a while.”

There are people who enjoy studying?

That’d… make a good research subject.

Anyhow, her leaving without showering first makes me bitter.

I prepared an open air bath and a peephole for it.

“I guess I’ll see you tomorrow then.”

“Sure. We’re going to go then. Take care of the plants, and make sure to practice ok?”

“Alright.”

“I’m going to test you tommorow?”

“I said I get it…”

After waving my hand with a fed up face, I closed the door after a brief conversation with Tetsuya.

Then, gradually fading sounds of two pairs of steps was heard along with the sound of Miyuki’s laughter.

Sticking my head over the wall, I watched as Miyuki and Tetsuya slowly got further and further away.

The reason why I just let those two leave was because of an event.

Miyuki, who couldn’t sleep decides to go by herself in a playground near her house. And I think I’m going to intervene with that situation.

But tutoring me might have already changed the future, making the event not happen in the first place.

Even if that was the case, I must go.

This is the time for me to suck as much affection points out of Miyuki as possible, so I have to try everything that I can.

I stopped my train of thought and looked at the time.

7 PM. I’ll wait a bit after the sun sets and then leave.

And I’m going to call Takashi to meet up.

Since I’ll need an excuse to tell Miyuki.

**

Houses facing the narrow road are lined up.

Should I say it’s peaceful somehow? Miyuki’s neighbourhood was as quiet as mine.

I looked around the neighbourhood once and headed to the playground.

There was no one else in the dark playground.

It was obvious. There was a much bigger playground just across the street, and it even had street lights.

I smacked my lips and sat on the swings, waiting for Miyuki.

Even after I waited quite a while, Miyuki never showed up.

As I thought of earlier, did my intervention change this event?

The possibility of that is high, but I decided to believe in the god who sent me here.

God-nim also played Dokiaca and got pissed off just like me.

That’s why you sent me here. To become the real main character.

As I consoled myself in that fashion, I started to pretend like I was swinging as soon as I heard someone by the entrance of the playground.

“… Oh? There was someone here already…”

I heard Miyuki’s voice from the entrance.

As I expected, Tetuya was not the real main character of Dokiaca, I was.

I cheered inside, and stopped swinging to look at Miyuki’s silhouette which was lit by the streetlamp and spoke.

“Hanazawa?”

“Huuuh…?”

Miyuki was extremely flustered.

It looks like she was not expecting to hear my voice in a place like this.

She, who was confused for a while, stretched her head toward the inside of the playground and asked.

“Is it perhaps… Matsuda-kun?”

“Yeah. Why are you here?”

Miyuki quickly walked in to get in front of me.

As if she was trying to confirm if it was really Matsuda Ken, she looked at my face from a bunch of different angles before speaking like a surprised tone.

“Why are you here…?”

“I just asked that.”

“Ah… This… This is my neighbourhood.”

“Your neighbourhood? You live around here?”

When I pretended to be shocked, Miyuki slowly nodded her head and pointed her finger at a house.

“Yeah… That’s my house.”

“Really…? I didn’t know.”

“Now you answer Matsuda-kun. Why are you here? Aren’t supposed to be you resting at home?”

“I was going to meet with Takashi, but I ditched him thinking it was going to be boring. I just stopped by here cause it had a quiet atmosphere. I had somethings to think about as well.”

When I mentioned Takashi, Miyuki face turned into disgust, as if she just saw a cockroach.

Our poor Takashi, that’s why you need to stop the bullying act.

It’s not something I should really be saying but… It’s unfortunate.

“Watanabe Takashi lives near here? Or was the meeting place just close by?”

“It’s the latter, but the meeting place is a bit far from here.”

“Ah… That’s great to hear..”

Miyuki was sincerely relieved as she sat on the swings beside me.

Then, she pointed to my phone which was in my pockets.

“Aren’t you getting a call?”

“They’re texts.”

“They seem kind of urgent don’t they? Is it Watanabe Takashi?”

“That’s right. He’s whining about why I’m not coming. Wanna see?”

“N-No… I don’t really want to see it…”

Even though I heard what Miyuki said, I pulled out my phone and showed her.

And Miyuki, even though she said she didn’t want to see, she looked at the screen like she was going to burn a hole through it.

It is natural to find someone else’s phone interesting.

“What’s it say?”

“… Why aren’t you at the meeting place… Th-There’s too much slang so I can’t read it…”

She should have let go of any remaining suspicion now right?

I snickered as I put my phone in my pocket.

The, Miyuki put her arms on her knees, leaned forward and asked me.

“Earlier, you said you were thinking about something. What were you thinking about?”

“That? It was just stuff about the future. What I’m going to do for a living… That kind of boring stuff.”

“Ah…”

“You were about to say even Matsuda-kun worries about that? Weren’t you?”

Did I hit the bullseye?

Miyuki’s shoulders flinched.

“N-No…?”

“What do you mean no. I must’ve gotten it perfectly. You’re not very good at lying.”

Miyuki sighed at my words/

“Sorry if I made you feel bad.”

“Why are you sorry? The fact that you’re so kind is a problem.”

“Is that so…? Do I look kind to you, Matsuda-kun?”

“If I’m being honest yeah. Like the type to get scammed easily.”

“What the heck… That’s not kind that’s just naive.”

She laughed lightly and kicked the ground to move on the swing.

Then continued to talk.

“Instead of thinking about the future wouldn’t it be better to think about the present? We’re only first years. We have plenty of time.”

“Isn’t that how lazy people think? We are still young, we are still bright… And then they regret more and more as time goes on.”

“I’m not saying that, I’m saying you have a lot of time to build up a good groundwork. As Matsuda-kun continues to act as he should, the future will become naturally open to you.”

“What do I have to do?”

“Right now, you should be studying. Did you practice the stuff we went over today?”

“I didn’t.”

“Then what? if you get it all wrong I’m going to give you a punishment.”

“Tying me up and whipping me? I like that kind of play.”

If Tetsuya said something like this, Miyuki would be disgusted and scold him.

But since I, the one usually fools around, said it, Miyuki burst out laughing.

I could have never said this to her before, but we’ve gotten quite close since the molester incident, so Miyuki easily glossed over my words.

“What the hell… I can’t do that.”contemporary romance

The atmosphere was not bad. Lets keep going like this.

I kicked off the ground like Miyuki, and joked around lightly which fit my image.

I made sure to not cross the line.

And thankfully, Miyuki liked my dumb jokes.
