Yuta insists they all sit together for tumbling purposes and Nippori is frantically writing. (Mode of the minute is 'be successful')
"Oi, Nippori what are you writing?" Ryosuke curiously asks peering over Nippori's shoulder. "Woah your handwriting is so neat, it makes me sick."
"It's just some extra curricular stuff, you know."
"No, I don't know. Why would anybody want to work?... Without it being compulsory."
"I've never really thought about it like that, I just have these ambitions, you see?"
"Like what?"
"Uni,"
"I didn't know you thought that far ahead to the future."
"Well, you need extracurricular activities to stand out from the crowd."
"Can you pay attention to the meeting, please?" Yuta interrupts.
"Sorry."
"It's not your fault Ryosuke started it and you're in reserve so you can finish your work"
"Thanks, that's really helpful."
The bell goes.
"Let me walk you too your lesson."
"But you'll be late aniki!"
"It's English, I'll never pass, there's a test on Friday and my teacher keeps expecting me to do work, at home!"
He can forget that.
"Then I'll tutor you!... That can go on my personal statement~" He adds in a singsong voice, that conveys his happiness.
"I only know: 'hello', 'goodbye', 'thank you' and up to 'C' in the alphabet. It's no use."
"You use a QWERTY keyboard."
"So it's not written in the same nonsense order."
"It's not nonsense, once you get it, it's obvious."
"Who even came up with it?"
"I don't know and it doesn't matter, you just have to learn it."
"Ok, I'll try."
" P... "
"'Elemenohpee'?... When I hear them, how am I supposed to know what they look like?"
"Good question, I'll teach you."
"It's hopeless."
"I'll never give up on you, come to my house every day 'till Thursday. But you'll have to leave by five thirty, because of work. Plus I can do lunch times, but not tomorrow. "
"I'll do anything, if it lets me spend time with you."
"Good and I'll make sure that you learn."
"Wait a minute, if you're helping me what about your work?"
"Actually, I'm already a month ahead on notes, so when the teacher tells us about something in lesson, I already know it. I'm not the best, but at least I don't fail," Nippori really does have a brain between his ears and perhaps in another, less demanding life, he could be an A* candidate.
"I would say, I was jealous of how organised you are, but I could never put that much effort into school. That would suck about the life force out of me... I actually don't have the stamina to sit at a desk and write."
"That's fine because I'll teach you."
"I'm looking forward to it already I'll come to yours at about four."
"The study session overlaps when we have tea, but I'll give you something nice."
"I never thought I'd say this about studying, but I can't wait."
"I'll see you then."
