Today, Tsukiyama Shuu also ca to Anteiku.
Since claiming he would follow Byakuya, he had been coming to Anteiku almost every day.
But today, as soon as he arrived, he saw Byakuya and Touka sitting together—and quite close together at that. It appeared they were... studying?
Seeing this, a aningful expression imdiately appeared on Tsukiyama's face.
He didn't disturb Byakuya and Touka, instead sitting down at the neighboring table.
Before long, Touka noticed that Tsukiyama's gaze had been fixed on her direction the entire ti, making her feel uncomfortable.
After a while longer, she finally couldn't take it anymore. She imdiately looked up and shot Tsukiyama a glare. "Shit Tsukiyama, could you stop staring at ?"
"I have no intention of disturbing the good thing between Kirishima-san and Amaha-kun. I'm simply rather curious."
Tsukiyama apologized with genuine sincerity in his tone.
"Wh-what are you even talking about?"
Touka's face imdiately flushed slightly. She used an even more disgusted attitude to mask her embarrassnt. "Anyway, stop staring at . Your gaze makes feel sick."
"Then I'll just look at Amaha-sama instead."
Tsukiyama shifted his gaze to Byakuya beside Touka.
Faced with such a shaless Tsukiyama, Touka was helpless. She could only actively ignore him.
Byakuya wasn't paying attention to external matters at all, concentrating on explaining difficult problems to Touka.
Currently, he had already started having Touka familiarize herself with concepts while working through problems. If she encountered a question she couldn't understand, he would tell her which concepts should be used to solve it, which helped reinforce her mory of those concepts.
If she knew the concept but still didn't know how to solve it, or got the wrong answer, then he would work through the problem step by step and explain it to her.
As for so-called "error notebooks," he felt there was no need for them at the beginning. Since she was getting at least 8 out of 10 problems wrong, writing down every single one would be a waste of ti. Error notebooks should be considered when her score could exceed the average.
Seeing that Touka was quite distracted by Tsukiyama's gaze, Byakuya reminded her: "Don't worry about Tsukiyama. Focus on the problems."
"Okay..."
Touka nodded obediently. At this mont, Byakuya had beco like her teacher.
Just then, she happened to encounter a rather difficult problem. Even though she roughly knew which concepts to use, halfway through the solution, things started feeling more and more wrong.
What should have been an integer answer had turned into sothing like "13/297"—an outrageous number that was obviously wrong. Only extrely difficult problems would have such complicated answers.
But Touka was still trying to continue solving it. She fell into deep thought.
Byakuya had wanted to take the pen and demonstrate the correct steps for her, but Touka was completely absorbed in her thinking.
Unable to do otherwise, he could only gently grasp Touka's hand and use the pen in her hand to "put a period" on the erroneous step she was struggling with.
"See, your step was wrong from the very beginning. The final answer isn't even a number."
Byakuya proved that this approach was completely wrong, then prepared to demonstrate the correct steps.
Following her approach, the result he calculated was undefined—she couldn't even get a wrong number.
However, Touka's attention was now completely unable to focus. Because her hand was being held by Byakuya, her face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple.
The staff mbers like Irimi and Koma all watched Touka's direction with smiles on their faces.
Tsukiyama's gaze grew increasingly delighted. As expected, Kirishima-san had fallen deeply and couldn't extricate herself!
He understood this feeling. It must have been that one taste of supre delicacy from Amaha-kun's body that Kirishima-san had experienced before—it had made her completely fall!
No ghoul could resist such temptation!
He had absolute confidence in his eye for fine cuisine~
Hinami's feelings at this mont were sowhat complicated. She was happy for Touka-oneechan, yet also sowhat envious and jealous. Though this was contradictory, her feelings were just that complex.
Though she could no longer focus, Touka still didn't resist, allowing Byakuya to hold her hand and use the pen in her hand to write out the complete and correct solution process.
"There, that's correct. Did you rember my explanation for each step just now?"
After solving it correctly, Byakuya asked Touka.
"I... I didn't rember, because you kept holding my hand, which made a bit..."
Touka honestly admitted the truth.
"Uh..."
Only then did Byakuya release his hand. "Sorry, I didn't know you'd mind this much, Kirishima-san. Though actually, you could have reminded from the start."
"No... how should I put it, it's because I don't actually dislike this kind of thing, it's just..."
Touka said very quietly.
"I see... Well, that's good then."
Byakuya said.
Just then, Yoriko Kosaka had sohow appeared behind Touka and suddenly spoke up. "Touka, you've already started studying?"
"Mm..."
Touka hadn't quite processed it at first. When she ca to her senses, she was startled. "Huh—?! Yoriko, when did you get here?!"
"Just now."
As she spoke, Yoriko bent down and leaned close to Touka's ear, her tone delighted as she whispered: "I saw everything, you know~ How intimate Touka and that Amaha classmate were~"
"It's not what you think! Just now was just an accident!"
Touka explained in a very small voice.
"No need to explain. I saw everything very clearly just now—Touka's cute expression, all shy but also a little happy~"
Yoriko wasn't about to believe Touka's explanation.
"I'm telling you!..."
Touka wanted to explain but didn't know how.
"Well then, I won't disturb you two. I'll co again at the sa ti tomorrow."
With that, Yoriko left with her bag.
Actually, she and Touka had originally planned to study together this afternoon, which was why she had co to the café intending to study with Touka.
She hadn't expected Touka to be having an intimate mont with that Amaha classmate—not only studying together but that scene had appeared too. That was normally sothing that only happened between couples.
She imdiately realized that she absolutely could not ruin such a rare opportunity for Touka to deepen her relationship!
