With the help of several Teachers, Furuhashi Fumino's matter was handled, and her Father was also contacted, but the situation didn't look ideal.
After a few days passed, things calmed down, as if nothing had happened. Before there was a new situation, Aki Tomoya was still busy with his own affairs.
"Aki Tomoya, are you okay?"
In the classroom, Kamigō Yoshihiko asked Aki Tomoya, who was napping on his desk.
Aki Tomoya propped himself up and looked back at him: "What's wrong?"
"Your face looks terrible. I've never seen you look this bad even when you were pulling all-nighters."
Kamigō Yoshihiko asked, looking at Aki Tomoya's listless face.
From last year until now, this was the first time he had been so listless.
"I'm just a little uncomfortable, I probably caught a cold…"
Aki Tomoya rubbed his eyes and put his glasses back on.
After all, he wasn't made of iron, it was normal for his body to feel uncomfortable. Rearranging his schedule and getting some good rest would probably be enough.
"You should also take care of your health."
Aki Tomoya reminded Kamigō Yoshihiko. He was a cautionary tale.
Even someone as regular as him had times when he wasn't feeling well, let alone others.
"You too, get well soon. There's only half a year left, I'm counting on being able to brag about you!"
Kamigō Yoshihiko shook his head.
His friend had a minor health issue now, but it wasn't very serious.
"Speaking of which, is that friend of yours from the cram school the genius from Ichinose?"
"You've heard of her?"
"I've heard others talk about her. It really is her, huh? Even a genius has to go to cram school. How does she compare to that Senior who graduated from our school?"
On one side is the sleeping beauty of Ichinose's literary forest, and on the other side is their native literary talent from Toyogasaki. Kamigō Yoshihiko was gossiping at this moment.
However, Aki Tomoya could imagine what his reaction would be if he knew the aspiration of this literary sleeping beauty.
"Fumino is probably more impressive."
Aki Tomoya thought for a moment and gave this answer.
In his heart, Kasumigaoka Utaha's talent was impressive, while Fumino's talent was terrifying.
"Is that person really that amazing?"
Eriri, who had been eavesdropping on the conversation behind them, looked over curiously.
Although she hadn't met Furuhashi Fumino in person, hearing Aki Tomoya say that, Eriri also became interested in her.
She wanted to know more about someone who was even more amazing than Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"She's a very amazing person." Aki Tomoya replied. He didn't intend to mention that Furuhashi Fumino herself wanted to study in the Astronomy Department.
These two people around him were just curious about how amazing Furuhashi Fumino's abilities were.
"Well, I don't understand literature either, I'll just read some light novels. But speaking of which, I don't have time for that this year."
What Kamigō Yoshihiko had heard was limited to the sleeping beauty of the literary forest, he didn't know about other aspects.
Hearing from Aki Tomoya that she was even more amazing than the Senior who had already graduated, although he still had doubts in his heart, he didn't know much about this area, so he didn't want to say much.
"Then didn't you say last time that you were going to finish reading Kasumi Shiko and Kashiwagi Eri's new works in one go?"
Aki Tomoya teased.
At the same time, Eriri flinched and became nervous all of a sudden.
No one noticed Eriri's abnormality, and Kamigō Yoshihiko had a helpless look: "Where would I have the time? After I go back, it's revision. I only saw the cover online, but the illustrator and character designer is that Kashiwagi Eri, to be honest, I'm really tempted, but speaking of all this, Aki Tomoya is no longer interested in this area, huh?"
He had no time to read light novels. If he had pocket money to buy light novels, he might as well buy a few more reference books.
Kamigō Yoshihiko was still quite clear in his heart that he didn't have much time to squander now.
Having decided to go to University, and with Aki Tomoya as a benchmark beside him, he had slightly raised his requirements for himself.
Although he didn't plan to quit being an otaku, after getting into University, he would have plenty of time anyway. The University he wanted to get into wasn't as competitive as Aki Tomoya's.
"..."
Eriri's mood was a bit complicated, there wasn't a single otaku in this class.
Aki Tomoya used to be one, but now he had made up his mind to quit being an otaku, and his friend Kamigō Yoshihiko, thanks to him, also planned to focus on studying for the time being.
"No comrades…"
Eriri looked around the classroom awkwardly, there were no comrades on the two-dimensional front.
But looking at it from another perspective, most of them were going to University, and there were also members of the art club in the class, and people who planned to go to art University like her.
In this regard, there were quite a few people who could be considered comrades.
"Speaking of which, isn't it stressful to study with someone like that?"
Kamigō Yoshihiko asked curiously at this moment.
Being with a genius like Furuhashi Fumino, you might be affected if you're not careful.
After all, what everyone strives for desperately, such people can obtain effortlessly.
If you compare yourself, you might feel a lot of imbalance in your heart.
Kamigō Yoshihiko had experienced this kind of imbalance last year.
"It's alright..."
Aki Tomoya replied casually.
Furuhashi Fumino studies science at their cram school, her desired major is Astronomy Department, and her starting point is much lower than everyone else's. Looking at this, Aki Tomoya doesn't think there would be any imbalance, only that some people might not understand.
"After all, you can't choose before you're born."
Aki Tomoya replied again at this moment.
If you could choose everything, you'd definitely max it all out.
But the truth is, no one can choose.
"Seeing how capable others are, no matter how much you envy or are jealous, it's not yours. Besides accepting reality, you either try harder. Yoshihiko, do you envy Fumino's talent? Do you want it? Actually, I'm quite envious too. With half of her talent, I'd be as steady as an old dog with one try!"
Aki Tomoya said with a teasing look.
But he couldn't just envy it. Aki Tomoya didn't think about it too much. Instead of spending time wondering why, he'd rather stuff more things into his brain and think for himself.
Kamigō Yoshihiko rubbed his nose: "If I could choose, I'd only want the conditions to live a life of idleness until I die!"
"However, that wish of yours is already quite something. You should dream a little less."
Being born into wealth and status, that kind of start depends on reincarnation skills.
"Tch!"
You can have anything in your dreams.
"Next month's mock exam, I want a B grade evaluation!"
Kamigō Yoshihiko declared his bold words.
He messed up the last mock exam a bit, this time he wants to wash away the shame!
For this, Aki Tomoya could only pray for him for a second or two.
There's only a little over a month left in the first half of this year.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Aki Tomoya, your forehead is a little warm, are you really okay?"
Eriri touched Aki Tomoya's forehead with her hand.
"I've taken the medicine, it should be fine. Thanks for your concern."
Normal concern between friends, but in the eyes of others, it was a bit subtle.
"Your atmosphere is a bit good, should I just roll away?"
"I think you should take some medicine too."
Kamigō Yoshihiko's quiet joke drew a laughing scolding from Aki Tomoya.
