Crossover Anime/Manga - Not Everyday Life

Chapter 40 and Yuihama's Study Session

"Should I help you review...?" Xia Sheng pondered.

Miura Yumiko's request was not excessive at all; in fact, it was quite reasonable.

After all, they are already friends, and it's perfectly normal for them to ask a friend for help with their studies.

This doesn't even qualify as compensation.

"Unwilling?" Miura Yumiko misunderstood when she saw Natsuo hesitating.

"No, it's just that I feel the compensation you're asking for is too simple," Xia Sheng explained, shaking his head.

"What kind of person do you take me for? How could I possibly make any unreasonable demands?" Miura Yumiko said with dissatisfaction.

"Miura is indeed a good girl," Natsumi said with a slight smile.

"You...you...never mind, are you going to agree or not? You shouldn't be tutoring people anymore, right?" Miura Yumiko looked at him uncertainly.

"Yes, she has already taken the entrance exam."

"Her? A girl~" Hina Ebina grasped the key point, her tone teasing.

"What do you want to say?" Xia Sheng looked at her helplessly.

"It's nothing~ I'm just curious, isn't that cute?"

"Isn't it cuteer than you?"

"Oh my, I'm so happy."

"Himena, stop fooling around."

Yumiko Miura stopped Hina Ebina and said to Natsuo, "Since there are no problems, then help us review our lessons after school these next few days."

"Okay," Xia Sheng nodded in agreement.

He didn't have much to do, and he didn't have many illustrations left. It was fine for him to finish studying with them and then go home to draw.

As for club activities... not many people know about their clubs.

However, given the fame of Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina, once the publicity spreads, many people will likely come to visit.

That'll be a busy time.

After the last class in the afternoon, Natsumi slung her backpack over her shoulder and left the school with Miura Yumiko and the others.

Miura Yumiko and her friends planned to hold a study session at a family restaurant not far away.

It's basically a small gathering place for students, with food and drinks, and it's not noisy.

Students usually choose that place for their study meetings.

With final exams approaching and most clubs not holding activities, Miura Yumiko didn't need to go to clubs in the afternoon.

This is also why she chose to have Xia Sheng tutor them after school.

Their grades weren't very good either.

Jingxiu Wenwu High School is a very prestigious school, but the junior high school curriculum is actually not difficult. With a little effort, anyone can learn it and get into the school.

But high school is different. The difficulty of the knowledge points increases significantly. Not only are they hard to learn, but there are also more things that distract you.

After all, as you get older, you're exposed to more things.

In Japan, many girls now value dressing up, fashion, and socializing more than studying.

Enjoy the freedom and beauty of youth.

After graduation, I can just be a housewife; being a housewife is a profession too.

Miura Yumiko and her classmates don't have any plans to become housewives immediately after graduation; they simply aren't good at studying.

However, Ebina Hime's results were quite good.

Upon arriving at the family restaurant, Xia Sheng ordered some food at the front desk and then followed the three men upstairs, looking somewhat bewildered.

This was his first time visiting this place.

His drink was also ordered for him by Miura Yumiko and the others.

Their treat.

It was supposed to be a tutoring fee to help with homework review.

It was just a glass of soda, so Xia Sheng didn't refuse.

They arrived early; there was no one upstairs, all the seats were empty.

Yumiko Miura chose a corner, and Natsuo sat down next to her.

After the waiter brought the drinks and left, Miura Yumiko and the others took out their textbooks and began their study session.

Having experience tutoring Isshiki Iroha, Natsuo was quite adept at tutoring them.

Hina Ebina doesn't need his tutoring, but she also won't tutor Yui Yuigahama for him, refusing to help because it's his way of making amends.

Therefore, both Miura Yumiko and Yui Yuigahama were under Natsuo's care.

Tutoring is a very tiring task because you understand her but she doesn't, which feels like you're not on the same wavelength and your ideas don't match.

This is what people mean by a generation gap.

Miura Yumiko is quite smart, while Yuigahama Yui is a bit slow; it takes several repetitions to teach her a single point.

But she was both embarrassed and eager to learn, so Xia Sheng couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh.

Moreover, he was very patient with her, which was his own selfish reason.

It's normal for people to have selfish desires.

And perhaps feeling guilty, they treated Xia Sheng to food later; the burgers and fries at the family restaurant were quite delicious.

This made it even harder for him to say anything to them.

They studied until evening, and then Miura Yumiko and the others went home satisfied, while Natsuo went home exhausted.

He began to understand why the teacher couldn't help but get angry.

Having eaten his fill at the family restaurant, Xia Sheng didn't need to eat dinner. He took a quick shower and went to his studio to continue drawing illustrations.

......

Thursday was another PE class with Yukino Yukinoshita.

This was the last physical education class of the semester, and the PE teacher did not hesitate to let the students do their own thing.

After the teacher left, everyone began to scatter. Natsuo was pulled away by Miura Yumiko to play tennis.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't come along this time; instead, she found a quiet place and started reading a novel by herself.

But when the physical education class ended, she was nowhere to be seen.

After finishing their morning classes, Natsumi had lunch with Yumiko Miura and the others, and was inevitably asked about club matters.

"You left us to join a club before, right?" Miura Yumiko glanced at Natsuo and asked casually, as if she didn't care at all.

"Yes, I went to familiarize myself with the place," Xia Sheng readily admitted.

Since I've already felt guilty, there's no need to worry about it anymore.

"Where is your club activity room?" Miura Yumiko asked casually while eating.

"Over there in the clubhouse," Xia Sheng replied.

"You...isn't that obvious?" Miura Yumiko glared at him, annoyed.

"Haha~ Okay, it's on the far east side of the second floor."

"Oh, that place... it's called the Service Club, right? What exactly does it do?" Miura Yumiko couldn't help but ask.

"I'm curious about that name too," Yui Yuigahama interjected.

"I have a feeling it's some kind of shady club," Hina Ebina guessed.

"Ebina, you should just eat properly."

Xia Sheng shook his head helplessly and explained, "It's a club that helps others."

"Helping others is a pleasure?"

"Yes, as long as you have any problems that you can't solve while at school, you can come to us."

"I see..."

"Anything is fine?" Yui Yuigahama asked with interest.

"That's not the case. It's definitely something we can help solve. If we can't, we'll refuse."

"Can Yukinoshita really do this kind of thing?" Miura Yumiko couldn't help but mutter.

"What did you say?" Xia Sheng heard her words.

"I... well... you know, it's so cold under the snow, can she handle activities that require interaction with people?" Miura Yumiko hurriedly explained.

"Probably not," Xia Sheng replied with a smile.

"That's what I mean..."

"But there's Shiina too, the two of them can help each other out."

"I almost forgot about that angel..." Miura Yumiko's smile vanished before she could even finish it.

She really hates Yukino Yukinoshita.

This is a girl's instinctive comparison; Miura Yumiko considers Yukino Yukinoshita as her rival.

After all, Yukino Yukinoshita is so dazzling.
