Chapter 123: Maintain Enthusiasm Towards High School Girls

【Qingshan Li: Can we meet at the library after school?】

On the way to school that day, Qingshan Li discovered that while listening to the lecture, he would subconsciously think about how to teach, how to convey knowledge better.

"How about me becoming a high school teacher in the future?" he said while eating lunch in the cafeteria.

"You like JK that much?" Kobayashi Shiki teased, "I like older women."

"Is that so? I like those younger than me." Aizawa Jun said.

"I must clarify, I only like people my own age, one or two years older or younger is fine, not that I'm forty and still only like JK." Qingshan Li said.

"What's wrong with a forty-year-old liking JK?" Kobayashi Shiki was puzzled.

"Don't care about the world's opinion, Qingshan." Aizawa Atsuya advised earnestly.

"Is that okay?"

"Of course it is!"

"No problem, Qingshan!"

"Alright then, I'll keep liking JK forever."

"Idiot." Ono Mizuki walked past carrying a tray, looking straight ahead as if she didn't know Qingshan Li.

"Apologies, I failed to discipline my younger sister properly, letting her insult people and swear." Qingshan Li said.

"What did Miyue Little Sister do wrong? We should be the ones scolded!" Kobayashi Shiki got anxious.

"That works, because of that 'idiot', I'm going to get another bowl of rice." Aizawa Jun stood up to get more rice.

Precisely because such people were around him, Qingshan Li found it hard to consider himself a pervert.

After eating, Kobayashi Shiki and Aizawa Jun both went to club activities, while Qingshan Li went to the Club Building to find Mikami Ai.

On the way to the Athens Philosophy Research Club, he saw her in the Student Council Room.

Waited for her at the doorway for a while.

"Good afternoon, Mikami Classmate."

"Good afternoon."

After exchanging greetings, Mikami Ai walked straight into the Yaken Club, and Qingshan Li followed her in.

"There's something I want to ask you," he said, "Did you have someone protect me?"

Mikami Ai had just taken out "The Evolved Monkeys", hearing his words, she looked up at him: "Protect you? No, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I'll go ask Miyase Yaeko."

Mikami Ai watched Qingshan Li's back as he turned and left, thought for a moment, put down the book and followed.

"Something else for me?" Miyase Yaeko asked Qingshan Li with a smile.

She turned to look at Mikami Ai: "Didn't you just submit the Shogi Club evaluation? Any new results?"

"It's him who has business." Mikami Ai answered.

"The reason is, Mikami Classmate came to my home, followed by a person, I thought it was a bodyguard, but today I saw that person again — may I ask, did the two of you send someone to protect or monitor me?"

"I've kept an eye out, but haven't had anyone do that kind of thing." Miyase Yaeko answered.

"I'll make a phone call to ask." Mikami Ai went to the back door of the classroom, took out her mobile phone and dialed.

Perhaps she felt her family would investigate Qingshan Li behind her back.

"Won't you ask?" Qingshan Li asked Miyase Yaeko.

"You didn't invite me to your home." Miyase Yaeko smiled cheerfully, staring straight at Qingshan Li.

"I don't mind, I'd love for you to offer incense to my mother."

"I will." Miyase Yaeko smiled lightly.

Mikami Ai returned, shook her head slightly at Qingshan Li: "No one at home did that either, instead they became curious about you because of it."

Curious?

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this.

"Who could it be?" Qingshan Li muttered to himself, his brain already thinking about what method to use to catch this person.

"Go take a look together tonight?" Miyase Yaeko proposed, "If necessary, we can have the bodyguard catch him first."

Qingshan Li did not refuse.

Catching the person he can do, but how to handle things after catching them still needs their help.

The three briefly discussed and decided on the evening's action.

Qingshan Li walked back to the classroom, clearly knowing thinking wouldn't yield results, yet couldn't help but let his thoughts run wild —

What is this person's purpose?

Even when living in the old apartment at Kitasenju Station, he never encountered this kind of thing.

After money? Three high schoolers without parents, living in a mansion, so evil thoughts arose?

Or perhaps, because of the Ono Sisters' beauty?

After the last period of the afternoon ended, he went to the library and found Gu Meng Shi who had arrived early.

"Sorry, I'm late." He lowered his voice.

Gu Meng Shi shook her head, curious: "Qing Shan Jun, what business do you have with me?"

When not holding drumsticks, her personality seems more stable.

"I'm here to teach you homework." Qingshan Li took out the math textbook.

"Homework?"

——System

"This time I got first place in math." He said.

Having accumulated experience on Ono Mizuki last night, Qingshan Li was relatively composed, not too worried about accidents occurring.

"Wow~" Drummer Mumi exclaimed, "You can't tell from your appearance at all!"

【Begin 'Way of the Teacher' guidance】

——Wait a moment

"What did you say?" he asked.

"Because Qing Shan Jun looks very handsome, walking with both hands in his pockets, clearly a frivolous pretty boy who doesn't study much. Even if you have a subject you're good at, it should be liberal arts; math, which requires brainpower, doesn't suit you."

"I understand why your grades dropped." Qingshan Li mused.

"Why?"

"You can't read the questions at all. Enough idle chat. For the next two hours, I won't let you leave a single step."

——Start

System·Ryosuke loosened his tie, slightly exposing his collarbone, then rolled up his sleeves, revealing his wrists.

He tapped his slender fingers on the test paper.

"The requirement of this problem is to find the minimum value, so you tried to solve it using trigonometric formulas, but this is actually a geometry problem."

——System, are you really guiding me in the Way of the Teacher?

——I don't want to be a home tutor in this regard!

Regardless, the effect was remarkable, like a Level 5 Bulbasaur being hit by Charizard's Flamethrower.

"The effect is too good, Teacher Qingshan. I feel like I can get a hundred points!"

"Say that after you pass first."

Indeed, Drummer Mumi failed math this time.

【Ono Mika: Ryo, we're done on our end.】

【Qingshan Li: I'm just finished on my end too.】

【Ono Mika: How does it feel?】

【Qingshan Li: No problem at all.】

【Qingshan Li: Her room for improvement is even greater than mine!】

【Ono Mika: o_O】

After the three met up, Qingshan Li continued to liven up the atmosphere.

"Saying I'm a frivolous man, looking like I'm not enthusiastic about studying." The more he said, the angrier he got; Qingshan Li, whose sleeves were still not lowered, put both hands in his pockets.

"Appearance is innate, don't mind it." Ono Mizuki comforted, her face full of smiles.

"Mumi's parents probably won't say anything, right?" Ono Mika asked worriedly.

"What's there to worry about? Ryo-ge isn't dating her; he's really studying." Ono Mizuki didn't care.

Mizuki, in this world, there are people who treat studying as a date.

Of course, Qingshan Li isn't.

He's the pure type; dates must involve dinner and a movie, so only dinner and a movie count as dates.

The three walked out of the station. Ono Mizuki asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Fried sunny-side-up eggs, rolled cabbage strips, fried bamboo fish, radish stewed with beef tendon." Ono Mika raised her right index finger and blurted it out as if ordering from a menu.

"Eh, so troublesome."

"I'll help."

"Isn't that even more troublesome?" Ono Mizuki said.

Judging by appearance, Ono Mika was very suited to the profession of a housewife, but she absolutely couldn't cook, although nowadays housewives don't necessarily need to know how to cook.

"Brother, what do you want to eat? If you have no objections, let's just decide on this." Ono Mizuki asked.

"I like anything Mizuki makes."

"Gross, I'll give you soy sauce soaked rice!"

Qingshan Li observed his surroundings without changing expression.

Laughing as they returned home, Qingshan Li was responsible for closing the door.

When the three took off their school uniforms and changed into home clothes, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Who?" Ono Mika asked puzzled, "Mingxiang and them aren't coming today."

Ono Mizuki was a little afraid.

"I'll go check." Qingshan Li walked toward the door.

"Brother!" Ono Mizuki ran over, holding a bamboo sword.

Equipping a bamboo sword won't increase your combat power at all; instead, it will drag him down.

Qingshan Li said: "You don't need to"

"Here!" Ono Mizuki handed over the bamboo sword.

Oh, give it to him.
