Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Rizu Ogata opened her sleepy eyes in a daze, then closed them again after seeing who was in front of her: "What? It's Fumino."

"Get up, Rizu. Time to eat and go to school. Hayakawa-san is waiting for you."

Fumino Furuhashi was both amused and exasperated. She called out to Ogata softly and affectionately, thinking that Rizu's adorable little face when she first woke up was just like a kitten's.

"Is it that late?"

Upon hearing Hayakawa's name, Ogata Riju opened her eyes, struggled to sit up in bed, rubbed her eyes, and stretched.

Fumino Furuhashi's face instantly turned bright red, staring dumbfounded at the science-loving loli in front of her.

That's...that's amazing! Rizu is incredible!

The short girl in front of me was wearing only a very small camisole nightgown, her slender and fair arms were completely exposed, especially the front, which was almost bursting out of Riju's "lewd" breasts. With a simple stretch, not only did the camisole make a pitiful sound, but her flat and alluring abdomen and delicate collarbone were also revealed, and her whole person was instantly full of irresistible charm.

So sexy, so incredibly sexy!! Was Rizu-chan really this horny?!

Fumino Furuhashi glanced down at her body expressionlessly, her empty eyes instantly filled with resentment.

I didn't want to see your toes, but I still saw them anyway. Why is this world so unfair...?

"What's wrong, Fumino?"

Ogata Rizu looked at Furuhashi with a puzzled expression and said, "Your gaze is so strange."

"Nothing, nothing."

Fumino Furuhashi was startled and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Rizu, hurry up and change your clothes, then go wash up."

Thankfully, Hayakawa didn't just walk in and call Rizu, otherwise who knows what might have happened? She would definitely have pounced on her and licked her, after all…

Men are all obsessed with big breasts!

Fumino Furuhashi smiled, but the morning air was already gloomy.

……

The three of them sat together to eat breakfast, which consisted of simple porridge, pickled vegetables, and fried eggs. Although the flavor was light, it was just right for their bodies after waking up early.

"good to eat."

Fumino Furuhashi took a sip of porridge and couldn't help but look at Hayakawa and ask, "Did Hayakawa-kun make this?"

"Yes."

Hayakawa silently ate his porridge while looking at his vocabulary book. Hearing this, he nodded.

"I never knew Hayakawa-san was such a good cook."

Fumino Furuhashi's smile was somewhat forced as she thought of her kitchen, which would inexplicably explode whenever she cooked.

Chapter Nineteen: Isolated by a Genius [X]

"Skilled at? I wouldn't say so."

Hayakawa Shiro lowered his head and drank his porridge, saying, "There's someone sitting at the table whose parents own a restaurant."

Upon hearing this, Ogata Riju immediately straightened her small body, and her chest heaved.

"Huh? Rizu-chan can cook too?"

Fumino Furuhashi looked at Riju Ogata in disbelief.

"Yes, I've been helping out in the shop since I was little, and I've learned a bit from what I've seen and heard."

Rizu Ogata said calmly, "This is common for kids who grew up in restaurants."

Fumino Furuhashi stopped talking, lowered her head and listlessly picked up a dark and unsightly piece of pickled vegetable, looked at it twice, and then stuffed it into her mouth.

Looking at Ogata and Hayakawa chatting and laughing in front of her, she felt like she was from a different world.

……

After breakfast, the three of them went out together and soon arrived at the tram stop.

Car rental services in Japan are excellent, but the prices are incredibly high, so both office workers and students are used to using trams, a cheap and affordable mode of transportation.

The three of them rode the same tram. After boarding, Fumino Furuhashi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly pulled the other two to a corner of the tram.

"What's wrong, Fumino?"

Rizu Ogata was pulled so hard she stumbled and almost fell against the tram railing. Luckily, Hayakawa caught her, and she glared at Furuhashi with some displeasure.

"Rizu-chan, and Hayakawa-san, haven't you noticed something's wrong?"

Fumino Furuhashi looked horrified and said, "We just got on the train so casually. That's not right. There's definitely something wrong with that."

"Uh…"

Hayakawa Shiro looked bewildered, and after thinking for a long time, she looked at Ogata and asked, "Did we get on the wrong bus?"

"No."

Riju Ogata said with absolute certainty, "The Osaka Line 4 leads to Ichinose Station without any problem."

That's not what I meant!

Fumino Furuhashi looked like she was about to faint, and said urgently, "This is the tram that goes directly to our school, and it's early morning before school, so there must be a lot of students from our school on this tram."

"..."

Ogata Riju and Hayakawa Shiro exchanged a glance, then gave Furuhashi the same empty look that said, "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about."

"How can you be so idiotic?!"

Fumino Furuhashi blushed and leaned closer to the two of them, whispering, "If students who know us or even our classmates find out we're together, won't people discover that the three of us are living together?"

Furuhashi lowered her voice to the lowest possible level, feeling the breath of Hayakawa so close to her, and she felt her own breath becoming scalding hot.

"Hmm...a bit too much of a worry."

Hayakawa Shiro frowned slightly and said, "You said it yourself, there are many students on this bus, so isn't it normal for the three of us to be on this bus? Why would people associate it with living together?"

Don't casually use the words "cohabitation"!

"Indeed."

Rizu Ogata pushed up her glasses, her calm face showing an expression of approval: "That doesn't make sense."

Why do you always speak up for Hayakawa-san, Rizu-chan?

"You idiot!"

Fumino Furuhashi pulled Hayakawa's collar down, looked him straight in the eye, and said in a fit of shame and anger, "Of course you two have nothing to do with each other. After all, you two used to ride this train together, and you live very close to each other. Even if someone found out, you could just say you live close by and you went together. But I don't ride this train! I usually take Line 2 home! If my friends who have been to my house suddenly notice that I've changed trains, they'll definitely know that I'm not going home. And if they see me always on the train with you, they'll definitely think that we live together!"

Hayakawa Shiro: "..."

That doesn't seem to be without reason.

"So what do you want to do?"

Hayakawa Shiro, somewhat exasperated, suggested, "How about I get off now and wait for the next round?"

"That would make us late."

Without hesitation, Rizu Ogata replied, "The next train is in 15 minutes. Considering the travel time, you'll be late before it even arrives."

"Getting off the bus is not necessary."

Fumino Furuhashi also didn't want Hayakawa to get off the car, so she lowered her head and whispered, "Just keep a little distance from me... don't get too close, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings if someone sees us."

Uh, were we close before?

Hayakawa was puzzled, but nodded nonetheless: "Okay, then I'll stand over there."

As he spoke, he walked to a handrail not far away, acting as if he didn't know the two of them very well.

"call…"

Seeing this, Fumino Furuhashi breathed a slight sigh of relief, but looking at Hayakawa standing alone in the distance, she felt a subtle sense of guilt.

I'm so sorry, so sorry, so sorry... Hayakawa-kun, I'm really sorry. Although it may seem like I'm isolating you, that's not what I really meant. But for some reason, the girls in my class are always paying a lot of attention to me. If we're not careful, it will definitely cause a stir at school, and it will affect both our studies and our lives. I'm doing this for your own good!

In short, I'm very sorry. I'll do a dogeza (a deep bow of apology) or make you a bento box to make it up to you. I'll do my best as long as you can forgive me.

"Fumino."

Just as Fumino Furuhashi was frantically apologizing in her mind, Ogata's voice suddenly came from beside her.

"What's wrong, Rizu?"

Fumino Furuhashi was startled and quickly looked at her with a smile.

"I've passed."

Ogata Riju pointed to Hayakawa not far away and said calmly.

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

Hmm hmm hmm hmm?!

"Why... why?"

Fumino Furuhashi's voice trembled, and her hands trembled slightly as well.

"Why? Because I want to ask Hayakawa-san a few questions about studying while I'm on the train. Time is very precious these days."

Rizu Ogata replied matter-of-factly, "And you don't need to worry about the rumors. Didn't you just say that I live very close to Hayakawa-san, so it's fine to explain? Don't worry."

"...Yes, it seems like there's no problem."

Fumino Furuhashi's voice sounded like a ghost floating out of her mouth: "I'm relieved."

"Then I'll go."

Rizu Ogata nodded: "See you at school."

With that, she left.

……

"As for essays, they are indeed the biggest source of points in humanities exams, and it's basically impossible to predict the questions; you can only rely on accumulated knowledge over time. Here are a few tips..."

"I see, I see, I'll remember that..."

Looking at the cheerful conversation between Hayakawa and Ogata not far away, and then at her own lonely state, Fumino Furuhashi suddenly felt the coldness of life.

Was I the one who was isolated all along?

Chapter Twenty: [X] and the First Encounter with Five Xs

After arriving at school, the morning was uneventful, and before you knew it, it was lunchtime. On her way to the library, Hayakawa ran into Furuhashi and asked her to study together.

"What's wrong, Ancient Bridge?"

Hayakawa looked at the old bridge walking ahead on its own with some confusion, then walked a few steps to the girl's side to look at her face.

"Tui~"

Fumino Furuhashi quickly turned her head to the other side, avoiding looking at Hayakawa's face.

Hayakawa was a little confused. Since morning, Furuhashi had been inexplicably sullen, and now she was completely ignoring him. How could this be? Her studies would fall apart.

"You're angry?"

Hayakawa Shiro asked, then walked to the other side of the old bridge to look at her.

"I'm not angry."

Fumino Furuhashi answered immediately, then tried to turn her head away from Hayakawa's view. This time, Hayakawa reached out and held her head, and a pretty face with puffed-up pink cheeks, like an angry hamster, appeared in Hayakawa's eyes. Her sulking was obvious.

"So you're really angry."

Hayakawa quickly let go, and Furuhashi's expression suggested he might bite her at any moment.

I already said I'm not angry!
