Chapter 122: The Situation Was Beyond His Expectations

At nine o'clock at night, Ono Mizuki wore a T-shirt and shorts, with a hooded sweatshirt thrown over them.

On her bare legs were fluffy socks of the style popular among high school girls.

She hadn't washed her hair, and the ends were slightly damp.

——System

"Ready?" Qingshan Li asked.

"What do you need to prepare for studying?" Ono Mizuki asked, puzzled.

"Sister Mihana, don't disturb us," Qingshan Li added.

"There are still some gifts Mingxiang and the others brought; do you want to eat them?" Ono Mika asked.

Ono Mizuki raised her hand: "I want~~"

"No!" Qingshan Li put on the authority of the head of the household, "I'm starting now!"

However, Ono Mika just smiled, and Ono Mizuki curled the corner of her mouth—not a smile, but a look of contempt.

【Begin 'Way of the Master' tutoring】

——My only sister is entrusted to you!

"I don't care, I want to eat; if I don't eat, I can't use my brain!" Ono Mizuki leaned over her textbook.

It's over.

It's over, over, over!

Mizuki, run, don't get tied up!

System·Qingshan Li sat a little closer: "Shall we start?"

"." Ono Mizuki was slightly on guard.

"When you were showering, I looked at your first-year monthly exam papers; judging by the scoring rate, the third main question had the highest error rate. Do you still remember the question? How about reciting it from memory first?"

". Hmph, underestimating me!"

Ono Mizuki began reciting the questions from memory.

Huh?

Huh huh huh?

The bondage I've been looking forward to? Mizuki, where's your resistance?

I misjudged you!

Shallow lookism, hopeless score supremacism, and a bit of cute brother complex.

It went smoothly.

So smoothly that when two hours ended, Ono Mizuki thought only forty minutes had passed.

Not to mention her, even Ono Mika occasionally listened raptly, nodding involuntarily.

Not to mention her, Qingshan Li himself was listening.

——System, I forgive you for using my beauty.

Eleven o'clock.

"What do you think," Qingshan Li asked in a probing tone, "before the midterm exam, if I teach Drummer's math, can her grades improve?"

"You teach quite well, but—" Ono Mizuki scratched her little head with the back of her pencil, "After all, what you taught me is first-year high school; I don't know about second-year."

"I think it's fine," Ono Mika said, "I've benefited a lot too."

"But," she paused, then said again, "teaching her, will it affect your studies, Li?"

"No, reviewing the old to learn the new," Qingshan Li could affirm.

It's just that the efficiency isn't as high as studying alone.

The target of 37th place might be a bit risky.

Classmate Yoshikawa should feel slightly warmer by now, after all, the Ancient God has turned one eye to watch Drummer Mumi.

"Since it won't, then let's continue~" Ono Mizuki indeed liked this feeling.

It's now late night 11 o'clock; if we continue for another two hours, it will be 1 AM, and the probability of accidents occurring midway rises sharply.

Including but not limited to getting sleepy.

"Not eating snacks anymore?" Qingshan Li reminded her.

"Oh right!"

"It's too late, no," Ono Mika said.

"Ugh~, then let's continue studying."

"Don't you want to use the toilet?"

"Right!" Ono Mizuki got up to use the toilet.

Qingshan Li also used one; after finishing, he said: "It's too late, today ends here, rest early."

Ono Mizuki glanced at the time and felt it made sense.

"Good night," she said.

"Mm, good night," Qingshan Li said.

The two siblings each returned to their rooms, both secretly continuing to study, while studying, thinking Mizuki (Li) that guy must have slept!

The first to fall asleep was Ono Mizuki, the second was Ono Mika.

Today, it was still Qingshan Li's victory!

Tuesday, May 10th, before dawn, Qingshan Li left a message for Ono Mika and Mizuki, then wore sportswear and went out.

The air on the street was fresh, with no one in sight.

——System, the route for the school long-distance running competition, improve 'Speed'.

Qingshan Li's speed was only D; he had always trained at home before, never thinking to improve his speed, but the school's long-distance running competition reminded him.

【Begin Guidance on 'Speed'】

System·Ryosuke jogged out of the alley, crossed a wide road, and arrived near the National Stadium.

Walking further down a narrow lane, he would reach the long-distance running route.

The distance was that close.

Taking this opportunity, he prepared to properly improve his speed, and then he should be able to get new rewards.

Anything was fine; although there might be some setbacks along the way, after weighing the pros and cons, the gains were still not bad.

System·Ryosuke started running.

The air, not yet polluted by car exhaust, carried the cool morning breeze and gently caressed him.

There was a sense of ease as if sinking into the great sea of wind.

There were no pedestrians on the street, and few cars on the road, but on this popular running route, figures could be seen from time to time.

Everyone ran, like crops in the dark earth, silent yet striving to grow.

When it got light, the scenery along the way was quite nice.

There were ancient buildings, and Meiji Jingu Stadium;

one could see the exquisite trees in the Imperial Palace, and soon after, weaving among the roadside trees on the street.

Ahead was a woman with a fine figure, wearing tight sportswear that highlighted her hip curves.

——System, overtake her.

Qingshan Li wanted to look, so he had to overtake her; if he kept following behind, 'wanting to look' would become 'actually looking'.

System·Ryosuke would not listen to his opinion, but still slowly overtook that woman.

After about a second, Qingshan Li completely forgot that woman with the nice hips just now.

He thought of Mikami Ai.

Without a doubt, Mikami Ai was a very beautiful girl.

When he first saw her in the Choir Club, he almost fell in love at first sight, but just like that woman just now, no matter how beautiful or good-looking, once missed, she would not make him think of her day and night.

Two hours later, Qingshan Li slowly stopped his steps.

His body was tired, yet full of energy, a very strange state, as if he could run a few more laps.

Qingshan Li jogged home.

When he closed the door, a familiar figure flashed by.

Huh?

Mikami Ai was not here; what was this person doing here? Because of 'Detective A', she specially sent someone to protect him? Was it necessary?

Qingshan Li closed the door completely.

For the safety of the Ono Sisters, just in case, catch this person and interrogate them. No, better ask Mikami Ai first.

Turning and leaving the gate, Qingshan Li stepped on the stone slabs in the center of the pebbles, walking toward the exquisite house.

Ono Mika was feeding fish by the fish pond.

"Back?" She stood up and walked over.

"Mm." Qingshan Li looked her up and down; she was still wearing pajamas. "Aren't you cold?"

"A little." Ono Mika smiled, the morning breeze blowing her somewhat messy and lazy hair, as if sleepiness was still curled up inside.

"If I hadn't sweated, I'd give you my clothes." Qingshan Li said with a smile.

"Do you think I would dislike your sweat smell?" Ono Mika wrapped her arm around his.

Mm, not wearing anything, so soft.

Qingshan Li entered the door and immediately went to the bathroom.
