I, Aki Tomoya, will not be a simp.

However, when he lay down on the bed, he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.

However, once he closed his eyes, Aki Tomoya found it difficult to recall the events.

Eriri downstairs was still racking her brains over her drawing, and didn't have time to think about anything else.

Half an hour later, Eriri's muttering could be heard in the living room.

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, this woman's face is drawn exactly like yours!"

As if to vent her anger, Eriri picked up a draft and scribbled a couple of lines.

Then, as I was drawing, I realized that my drawing was actually quite nice, and I suddenly became unhappy.

In revenge, that person should be drawn as an ugly monster!

Thinking this, Eriri decided to make a couple of changes, but just then, the doorbell rang.

Ding-dong-

"ah!"

Eriri, who was just about to do something naughty, turned her head to look at the entrance with a guilty conscience.

Who could be visiting at this time?

Eriri swallowed hard, hesitating whether to open the door or call Aki Tomoya down so he could make the decision.

Ding dong, ding dong——

Because no one answered for a long time, the person outside rang the doorbell again, which made Eriri even more flustered.

Her eyes widened, her expression completely frozen, as countless possibilities raced through her mind!

Schrödinger's door!

"If I don't open the door, the situation outside will remain forever unclear!"

Regardless of whether there's a problem with this statement, while Eriri was struggling internally, the people outside were getting a little anxious.

With a ding-dong, the doorbell rang again, and then there was some noise.

Everything returned to calm, and an indescribable silence eerily permeated Eriri's surroundings.

Eriri seemed to be praying for something as she walked out of the living room, her eyes fixed on the door in the entryway.

"Did they leave? Did they leave?"

She muttered to herself, her face still showing a hint of panic.

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang again, and Eriri trembled with fear, like a startled cat.

"Is anyone home?"

A soft female voice came from outside the door, causing Eriri to let out a long sigh.

Chapter 85 What are you doing... (3/4)

Outside the Aki residence, Harumi Junko looked at the door with a puzzled expression.

She was carrying a lot of things and was in a dilemma because no one answered the door.

"You clearly agreed on this yesterday, have you forgotten?"

Harumi Junko sighed, looking at the closed door with a troubled expression.

After ringing the doorbell again, she asked if anyone was home.

After receiving no response, Harumi Junko prepared to leave.

But just then, the door clicked open.

Harumi Junko was overjoyed to hear the commotion, but then complained, "Aki-kun, I told you yesterday that I would bring the things over, why are you like this, eh?"

Just as she was complaining about Aki Tomoya's slow response in opening the door, Harumi Junko finally saw who was behind the door.

When she saw an unfamiliar blonde, blue-eyed girl in the entryway, Harumi Junko subconsciously glanced at the doorplate next to her, which indeed read "Aki".

"Foreigner?"

Harumi Junko looked at Eriri with a puzzled expression. If she hadn't checked the surname on the doorplate, she would have thought she had gone to the wrong house.

Eriri asked somewhat shyly, "Who are you?"

Hearing Eriri speak fluent Japanese, Harumi Junko breathed a sigh of relief. Upon closer inspection, she realized that the blonde girl in front of her was probably of mixed race.

"Hello, I'm Junko Harumi, a tutor at Aomine Academy. Is Aki-kun home?"

Harumi Junko explained.

Upon learning that the other party was a tutor from the cram school, Eriri nodded and said, "Wait a moment."

If it's a tutor, then there's no problem.

But let's ask first.

Eriri closed the door and went upstairs, then knocked on the door of Aki Tomoya's room.

"Hey, hey! Your tutor is here!"

Aki Tomoya, who was lying on the bed in the room, slowly opened his eyes. After a while, he finally heard what Eriri was saying outside.

He slapped his face hard to clear his head.

"So you'd forgotten about that!"

Aki Tomoya then remembered that he had forgotten something: Harumi Junko would be coming today.

Judging from what Eriri said outside, the other person should be downstairs right now.

After putting on his glasses, Aki Tomoya quickly went over and opened the door, replying to Eriri outside, "Thank you."

The two arrived at the entrance hall, and this time it was Aki Tomoya who opened the door.

"Teacher Harumi, thank you for making the trip. Please come in!"

When Shunko enters, she points out the slippers for the guests, and the three of them go to the living room together.

Since the coffee table was covered with Eriri's drawings and there wasn't time to tidy it up, Aki Tomo asked Harumi Junko to sit at the dining table first.

Eriri looked slightly embarrassed and stayed quietly in the living room without saying a word.

"Please use."

I brewed a simple cup of tea for Junko Harumi. The hospitality was rather meager, but it was enough between a student and a teacher.

"Thank you."

Harumi Junko nodded, while subtly glancing at Eriri in the living room.

At this moment, a woman's gossipy nature suddenly ignites.

At this point, Junko Harumi inevitably began to think about their relationship.

"Cohabitation?"

Or is she living with a blonde mixed-race woman?!

Harumi Junko felt a surge of excitement. She really couldn't believe that the most diligent student in the academy was actually hiding his true talent!

High school romances are not uncommon, but Junko Harumi only knows of one example like Tomoya Aki, who lived with a blonde mixed-race girl.

"Aki-kun is pretty good!"

Harumi Junko teased softly, while glancing curiously at Eriri.

Aki Tomoya was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned speechless. He realized that Harumi Junko must have misunderstood!

"She's a friend I've known since childhood."

Aki Tomoya replied in an extremely serious tone.

Seeing how serious she was, Harumi Junko realized it was a misunderstanding, and her expression immediately became quite awkward.

To ease the awkwardness, Harumi Junko quickly pulled out two documents from the file folder next to her.

"These are the humanities practice questions from the school where I used to work, and there's also a set of past national exam papers for physics, mathematics, and chemistry from last year. Do the practice questions first, and then do the past papers. If you want to finish reviewing all the subjects for the national exam before December, Aki, you have to do your best!"

Harumi Junko pushed two of the document bags in front of Aki Tomoya.

"The exercises you got from the old academy?"

Aki Tomoya glanced at the two file folders in front of him.

So this is the gift that Harumi Junko told them she had prepared yesterday.

However, what he was most concerned about was Harumi Junko taking the practice questions from the former Sanno Gakushu.

He was already working at another academy, but he went back to his old academy to seek help. After all, academies are competitors.

"It's alright. The headmaster of the academy where I used to work was a good man. I asked him, and he finally agreed!"

Harumi Junko's tone carried a hint of shame; she actually felt quite ashamed of her past at Sannoh Gakujuku.

I used to receive a lot of help from my former boss.
