Reincarnated Into Anime World - Chapter 25

After their confession, they continued hugging each other for a few more minutes before Fuutarou broke out of the hug.

“Don’t you still have to eat your dinner?”

Shouko felt a little sad at the loss of the warmth of the hug, but didn’t dwell on it too long. He’s her boyfriend now, so this hug will not be the last.

‘Hmph…I must protect him from all those thieving cats who want to lay their claws on him…’ Shouko thought with a determined expression on her face.

[A/N: Oops, wrong Shouko.]

“Um…Shouko, your face is really scary right now…” Fuutarou looked at her with a bit of concern.

‘A yandere Shouko?! No…bring me back my kind Shouko…’

“Hm? What face did I have?” Shouko asked cluelessly. It was as though everything was a lie and that scary expression never appeared at all.

“Nothing. Continue eating, I’ll be here until you go to bed.”

“Un!” Shouko nodded happily as they continued their night chat. It wasn’t until ten at night that Shouko finally fell asleep.

As Fuutarou took the tray out and closed the door softly, he smiled happily. He was really glad that Shouko agreed to be his girlfriend. It might be rushing it, but he did not regret it in the slightest.

*****************

It was already Mid June, and mid year exams were coming. Compared to ninth grade and twelfth grade mid year exams, it wasn’t that important. But if one wanted to go to a decent junior high school, it made a little difference, especially if one was already twelve years old.

“Shouko…show me your grades.”

Shouko didn’t hesitate to pull out her mock test and gave it to Fuutarou.

“70, 73, 64, 80, 78. Not bad, I don’t have to worry about you.”

Fuutarou saw her exam results and they were above average. There was no chance for her to fail if she managed to keep this up.

“Good job.”

Fuutarou praised her and patted her head. Shouko didn’t reject the head pat and just smiled happily.

Haruma, who was beside them, smiled happily at their interaction for a while before getting ready to take out his grades as well.

“Now, Haruma, your turn.”

“Hai hai…”

“90, 85,78, 80, 77.”

As Fuutarou read out his grades, Shouko didn’t seem surprised. It looked like it wasn’t an uncommon scene.

“Good job.”

“Please don’t pat my head…it’s embarrassing.”

“…”

“…”

Both Shouko and Fuutarou looked at him incredulously.

“No way I would head pat a boy. You want a head pat, go find yourself a girlfriend and ask her to do it.” Fuutarou violently rejected that claim. He would never head pat another boy. He wasn’t gay, and Shouko was the living proof of it.

Besides, in this world where the population of boys were so low, he doubted that there would be any gays, not that he has any problems with it as long as it doesn’t relate to him in the slightest.

“Fuu-kun’s head pat is only for me…” Shouko muttered under breath softly so that no one managed to hear her.

“I’m just kidding. Enough about me, what about the yellow hair over there?” Haruma said while pointing to the door, revealing a girl peeking inside the music room.

“Stop calling me yellow hair! My name is Mi-ya-zo-no Ka-o-ri! Remember that!” Kaori couldn’t help but exclaim in displeasure as she came marching in.

“Yes, yellow hair.” Haruma didn’t really care about her displeasure. He just smiled and continued calling her with her nickname.

“Moo…” Kaori pouted before turning to Fuutarou and complaining,”Fuutarou-kun, he’s bullying me…!”

Fuutarou just sighed at their interaction. He didn’t stop them since they were just playing around.

“Haruma, stop teasing her so much already. Calling her yellow hair once per day will be enough.”

When Kaori heard him, she ran towards the last person in this place and hugged her,”Shouko-channnn…now both of them are bullying me…”

Shouko just smiled wryly as she patted her back,”Yoshi yoshi…they’re just teasing you. Your reactions are so cute!”

Hearing her words, Kaori blushed a little at being called cute, and just continued staying in Shouko’s embrace.

They didn’t separate for a while, causing Fuutarou to feel a little annoyed.

“Alright, that’s enough hugging.”

He went towards them and separated them, causing Shouko to giggle a little at his actions.

“Now, Kaori-chan, your test results.” Fuutarou said while extending his arm towards her.

However, unlike the previous two people, Kaori looked embarrassed and nervous and kept fiddling with her fingers.

“Etto…must I really hand over my test results…?”

Fuutarou looked at her and thought,’Judging from her nervous response, she must not have done well.’

“Yes. If you did badly, I’ll make sure that you do well in the mid year exams.”

Kaori looked at him with pleading eyes, but Fuutarou, though he did hesitate a little, did not give in.

Seeing that Fuutarou would not budge, she sighed sadly and her hand slowly moved towards her bag, in an attempt to delay the inevitable. Trembling, she handed her test papers to Fuutarou.

“40, 46, 20, 50, 39.”

He just eyed her and asked,”Why is it so low? I don’t think you’re stupid or anything. In fact, I think you have quite the high intelligence. So why is it so low?”

Fiddling with her fingers, she lowered her head and replied,”I was…um…busy…with other things…”

Towards the end, she spoke softer and softer until eventually, no one could hear what she was saying.

Fuutarou looked at her for a while, and wondered what he should do. After a few minutes of absolute silence in the room, he suddenly started speaking again.

“From now until mid year exams, I’ll be teaching you on these five subjects. Until I deem that you have studied enough not to fail, you are banned from playing music with me.”

“EHHH!!!”

Kaori was shocked at his harsh decision. To her, who only had about two years left to live, the only things that made her life colourful were music, and Fuutarou and her friends.

[A/N: The ‘her’ refers to Kaori.]

“Why?? Studying is useless to me anyway…why can’t I just play my music…?”

“No. Studying is never useless to anyone. Don’t worry, as long as you manage to pass the test, I’ll even take part in a competition with you, all right?”

Hearing the front part, Kaori shook her head internally.

‘If only he knew about my illness…would his thoughts be different then?’

But after hearing the second part, she lifted up her head.

“Really? Promise?”

“Yes. So let’s get started shall we?”

“Yes!”

“You’re very lucky. Not many people get to have a one-on-one, in-depth teaching session with Fuu-kun, you know?” While Fuutarou was preparing his materials, Shouko whispered to Kaori.

“Huh? Really? Do many people want him to teach them?”

“Not really. Mostly those who want to do well in their exams often come to him for help. But Fuu-kun is really kind, he doesn’t reject any of them and patiently teaches them. Even then, their grades still move up by ten to twenty marks. Imagine if he actually teaches seriously.”

‘Gulp…is he really smart?” Kaori was having a hard time imagining Fuutarou being good at studies and music at the same time since she only focuses on music, yet she wasn’t as good as Fuutarou nor did she score as well as him in the exams.

Shouko looked at her in surprise.

“You mean you don’t know that he always gets the first position in our grades?”

Now Kaori was genuinely shocked. As if being smart was not enough, the boy who was going to teach her was always the number one in their grade.

She looked at Fuutarou who had finished his preparation and patiently waited for her to start.

“Yes…I’m really lucky…”

*****************

A/N: Should I watch Kimi No Na Wa? I missed the movie a few years ago since I was a kid and my parents didn’t allow me to watch… 🙁

Is the ending sad? Or happy? Is it a touching sad? Or touching happy movie?

After watching Darling in the FranXX and Your lie in April, I don’t feel like watching any touching movies anymore since it kept making me reminiscing on the touching and sad parts…

Zero Two for the win!

Enjoy this!
