Fake 54: Preparation

As far as I could see, it appeared to be a superior skill than [Lightning].

“Aoi, it seems I can use it without problems.
But at my current level, I can only use it once.”

“Since it is a skill of that caliber, it can’t be helped that the skill-usable times would be less.”

“But, I can’t be sure about how effective it will be against E-rank monsters unless I actually use it.”

“I think it would be best if you use it first when we go on subjugations tomorrow or later.
In the worst case, even if it doesn’t go well, you can cover it with other skills.”

“Hmm, you are right.
Let’s do that.”

Since I successfully achieved my goal today, the two of us returned to my room.
But, we were left with nothing to do because we had planned to ride the bicycle all day long.

“Sorry, we have nothing to do now.
Aoi can do whatever you want.”

“Really? Then, Rin-kun, shall we study together?”

“Eh……study? For what? The tests are already over, right?”

“It is in preparation for the new school term.
Since Rin-kun’s grades have risen in the previous test, we might as well keep trying to get better results next time.”

“………… Umm, I don’t really……”

“The next goal is to reach within the top 30.
Let’s try our best together.”

“Ahh…… yes.”

Even though it was the winter holidays, I ended up studying.
Since there was no particular homework during the winter holidays, I didn’t think about studying in the first place.

Still, there was no way I could refuse Aoi who accompanied me the whole time when she asked me to study together.
Moreover, she must have asked me to study with her for my sake.
So, I want to somehow achieve our goal, to reach within the top 30 by the next end–of–year test.
Even so, it is quite hard to reach within the top 30.
I wonder where on earth I am even heading to.
I know Aoi is an honor student, but I am not one.
Although I am fine with being normal, it feels like Aoi is trying to make me an honor student for some reason.
Aside from our lunchtime, we studied all the way until dinner time.
This was the first time I had studied for such a long time, except for the time before the previous test.
I couldn’t stop because Aoi didn’t.
Still, Aoi’s ability to concentrate was impressive.
Although my concentration was worn out quite early, I couldn’t give up before Aoi who was teaching me earnestly.
So, I clenched my teeth and somehow managed to last till the end.

“It, it’s finally over.
So tired………”

“Thanks for your hard work.
Well then, shall we end here for today?”

“For today?”

“Yes, we will continue tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow too……!”

“Yes, let’s do our best.”

“…… Yes.”

Will this continue tomorrow too……? Ahh……l will try my best.
For dinner, Aoi prepared really delicious meals as per usual.
And recently, I was scared of myself for eating such meals as a natural thing to do.
What would happen to me if Aoi couldn’t cook for me anymore?
Will I be able to return to my cup-ramen life again?
Perhaps, It will be better if I can cook for myself a little.
But, no matter how I think about it, I don’t feel like I can cook meals as tasty as Aoi does.

“Come to think of it, what are Aoi’s plans for this new year?”

“What about you, Rin-kun?”

“No, I will just stay here since I don’t have any particular places to go.
Is Aoi not going to see your parents?”

“I’ve been thinking about that for a while, but since Rin-kun will be here, I guess I will also stay here this time.”

“Is that so? You don’t need to mind me, you know.”

“I am not really minding you.
I just want to do that.”

“Ahh, okay, thank you.”

At first, I was planning to spend this winter vacation alone.
Though Aoi denied it, I think she had probably taken me into consideration.
I felt sorry for Aoi because she wouldn’t be able to meet her parents, but more than that, I was happy since she would be with me.
I never thought that I would want to be with someone to this extent.
It felt somewhat strange.
