Osamu Dazai

"You wouldn't tell me if I asked, would you?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said as a matter of course.

"You are indeed a smart person, and it is a pleasure to cooperate." Osamu Dazai stretched out his hand.

After taking a look at Osamu Dazai's hand, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

The two hands were tightly held together.

After talking about the topic of cooperation, both of them sat quietly, and it didn't take long for the door to open in the counseling room.

"Come in. So, Horikita, what do you want to say to me?" Chabashira-sensei said.

It seems that the person who came to visit the counseling room was Horikita Suzune.

"I asked straight to the point. Why was I assigned to Class D?" Horikita Suzune asked forcefully.

"It's really straight to the point." Chabashira-sensei seemed to be teasing Horikita Suzune's tone.

"Teacher, today you said that outstanding people will be selected into class A in order, and class D is the last bastion of crane tails gathered in the school." Horikita Suzune explained her reason.

For Horikita Suzune, who considers herself an elite, it must be aggrieved to be assigned to the defective class D.

"What I said is the truth. It seems that you think you are excellent." Chabashira-sensei said forcefully.

Being accused of pointing this out, how does Horikita Suzune plan to reply?

"I'm confident that I've solved almost all the questions in the entrance exam, and I don't remember any major mistakes in the interview. At least I can't imagine being assigned to Class D." Horikita Suzune retorted forcefully.

"Have you almost solved the entrance examination questions...? Originally, the results of the entrance examination cannot be shown to individuals, but I will let you see it specially. That's right, it just so happens that here is your answer sheet." Chabashira-sensei continued.

Osamu Dazai and Ayanokōji listened quietly to the fierce debate in the counseling room in the tea room. A few minutes later, Teacher Chabashira said, "Ah, yes. There are two people in the next room who are still related to you."

"Dazai, Ayanokōji, you two come out to me." Chabashira-sensei shouted.

"I'll take my leave first..." Seeing that it was Dazai Osamu and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, not the one she expected, Horikita Suzune wanted to leave the office.

"Horikita, wait. It's better for you to hear the words to the end. Maybe this will be a reminder to be promoted to Class A." Chabashira-sensei shouted to Horikita Suzune's back.

Horikita Suzune, who was about to turn around, stopped, then sat back on the chair and said, "Please make a long story short."

Horikita Suzune still thinks highly of the opportunity to be promoted to Class A.

Teacher Chabashira picked up the entrance examination paper and said with a slight smile, "You two are interesting students. One got [-] points in all five subjects, and the other is a special enrollment. Mr. Chairman also set up a special e-class. I was also taken aback."

Horikita Suzune stared at the test paper with a surprised expression, and then moved her eyes to the two of them.

"It was accidental, and there is no proof. Speaking of which, what good will manipulating test scores do me? If I have the brains to get high scores, I will aim for perfect scores in all subjects." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said.

"I really don't believe it, all fifty points are accidental." Osamu Dazai said.

Teacher Chabashira sighed slightly and said, "It seems that you are really an annoying student."

"Listen, the fifth question of mathematics has a [-]% correct answer rate for the whole school year."

"But you have solved all the complex calculations contained in it perfectly."

"On the other hand, the answer rate of the tenth question here is 70.00% six."

Chabashira Sae looked at Horikita Suzune and remained silent.

"Come here, I'm leaving."

"It's almost time for the staff meeting to begin."

"It's going to be locked here, you guys go out." Chabashira-sensei pushed Dazai and the others on the back and said, driving them to the corridor.

In the corridor, Horikita Suzune stopped in her tracks and said, "The score just now...was it really a coincidence?"

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka said: "Is that what the parties said? Or do you have any evidence to say that I did it on purpose?"

Seeing their conversation, Osamu Dazai felt bored, so he said, "Talk first, I'll go have a meal."

"Wait!" Horikita Suzune yelled.

Hearing the shout, Osamu Dazai immediately ran out of the gate.

……

Lunch time, when the students plan to leave the table to eat.

Hirata had already opened his mouth and said, "The exam Chabashira-sensei said is coming soon. I think the whole class understands that if you fail the exam, you will be expelled immediately."

"In order to pass the mid-term exam in three weeks, I suggest that everyone hold a reading club together, and the students with good grades will tutor the students with poor grades. What do you think?"

"I hope everyone can come to participate and finally become friends. I don't want to see people around me being expelled because they failed the exam."

Hirata Yosuke's kind proposal request successfully captured the students in the class.

Several people who failed the quiz last time quickly raised their hands and joined the reading club.

Still, a few who failed the quiz refused to take part.

Among them are Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki and Sudeng Ken.

Because these three people have always been jealous of Yosuke Hirata's high popularity, they did not participate in the study meeting.

……

"Hey, are you two free at noon? If possible, would you like to have dinner together?"

As soon as the break time came, Horikita Suzune took the initiative to come over to chat with Osamu Dazai and Kiyotaka Ayanokouji.

Before Qingtaka Ayanokōji could speak, he was interrupted by Dazai Osamu: "Of course, it is my honor to accept the invitation of the beautiful woman."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka couldn't resist Dazai Osamu, so he could only agree.

Dazai Osamu and Ayanokōji Kiyotaka followed Horikita Suzune to the student cafeteria.

Both of them chose the expensive special set meal, then occupied the seats, and sat down together.

"So, I started?"

Horikita Suzune seemed to be waiting for the two to start, and watched them both intently.

"Ayanokōji-san, Dazai-san, what's wrong? Hurry up and eat?"

"Oh, yes." Ayanokōji agreed vaguely, and carefully took a bite of the croquette.

Seeing that Ayanokouji had already eaten the bento, Horikita Suzune turned her attention to Dazai Osamu: "You can eat it too, don't worry, I invite you, you don't need to spend money."

Dazai Osamu still didn't move the bento in front of him, just stared into Horikita's eyes silently for a few minutes, and said with a smile: "It's a good idea, as long as I eat this bento, I will owe you a favor, no I won't help you."

Hearing Dazai Osamu's words, Ayanokouji immediately wanted to stand up, but Dazai Osamu grabbed his wrist the next moment and said, "What a pity, Ayanokouji-san, you've already eaten your bento, haven't you?"

Hearing these words, Ayanokōji Kiyotaka seemed relieved, and sat up again.

At this moment Horikita Suzune looked at Dazai and said, "How do you know?"

"Please, Suzune-chan, what you think is already written on your face, only an idiot who doesn't understand human affairs can't see it." Osamu Dazai smiled.

However, in terms of acting skills, Horikita Suzune's acting skills are much better than Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's.

"I'm so sorry for being an idiot." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka interjected.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka seemed annoyed that he didn't see through Horikita Suzune's actions just now.

"Okay, then I'll just say it straight, how can you help me." Horikita Suzune looked at Osamu Dazai and said.

"Well, then you can make me a month's bento. Of course, I will pay for the materials. How about it, Suzune, this is not too much to ask." Osamu Dazai thought.

"Okay, I'll bring you the bento tomorrow, so Ayanokouji, tomorrow you are responsible for calling Sudou's failing students over, and I'm going to hold a study meeting." Horikita Suzune said while looking at Ayanokouji.

"Wait, why me?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka asked.

"After all, you were the only one who ate my bento, didn't you?" Horikita Suzune replied.

"I see." Ayanokōji Kiyotaka seemed to accept his fate.

……

The next afternoon, Osamu Dazai was alone in the library poking the round ice cubes in the black tea boredly waiting for Horikita Suzune and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to arrive.

Ten minutes later, Horikita Suzune arrived first, and Osamu Dazai waved to Horikita Suzune, signaling her to come here.

Horikita Suzune circled around, saw Osamu Dazai's hand, and walked over, saw that Osamu Dazai was alone, sat down next to Osamu Dazai and asked, "Where are they, haven't they arrived yet? "

Osamu Dazai took a sip of the black tea in the cup and said, "It should be normal for them to come late, by the way, Suzune-chan, the bento you made is delicious."

"After all, you sponsored the material cost, didn't you?" Horikita Suzune replied.

Osamu Dazai patted Horikita Suzune on the shoulder, motioned her to look at the door, and said, "You also invited Kushida? She's not in the failing group."

Upon hearing this, Horikita Suzune replied, "This fellow Ayanokōji brought Kushida here on his own initiative."

"I brought people!"

Kushida Kikyo came to Dazai Osamu and Horikita Suzune who were waiting.And behind her is-

"I heard that Kushida-kun said that I want to hold a book club. I don't want to be expelled just after entering school, please give me your advice—"

It was Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudo Takeru.

Takeru Sudo asked: "If you have less than 30 points, you will fail, so is 31 points considered out?"

Osamu Dazai said, "Because it's underutilized, it's safe to have 32 points. Sudou, are you okay?"

At least he still wanted Sudou to know the difference between "more than" and "less than".

"It doesn't matter what the passing criteria is."

"Because I want all of you here to set the goal of [-] points. If you can't easily surpass the threshold, if an accident happens at that time, you will be the ones who will be troubled." Horikita Suzune instructed.

The failing group and its replacements reluctantly followed Horikita Suzune's correct argument and nodded.

"I tried to organize the scope of this exam to some extent here."

"I plan to teach you thoroughly in the two weeks or so before the exam."

"If there are any questions you don't understand, just ask me." Horikita Suzune said as she placed the exercises on the table.

"...Hey, I can't understand the first question."

Sudou Takeru stared at Horikita Suzune almost like staring.

And Ayanokōji Kiyotaka picked up the test paper and tried to read the question out.

"A, B, and C hold a total of 150 yen. A is 120 yen more than B. Assuming that c hands over 220/[-] of the money to B, then B will have [-] yen more than a. May I ask how much money did A have at the beginning?"

This is a problem of simultaneous equations, high school students are enough to solve this kind of problem.

As the first question is also justified.

Seeing that the so-called equations are so difficult to understand, Sudo Takeru threw the automatic pen on the table and said irritably: "No, I give up. How can I continue this kind of thing!"

Obviously not long after reading it, Sudou Takeru and the others announced their abandonment.

Horikita Suzune quietly accumulated anger at the side seeing them being so useless.

"Don't, don't be like this, Sudou-san, I'll teach you how to do it." After seeking Sudou Ken's consent, Kushida Kikyo taught it again.

However, under the guidance of Kushida Kikyo, Sudou still couldn't figure out how to get the answer to this equation.

Seeing Kushida Kikyo teaching Sudo Ken again, but still unable to do so, Horikita Suzune, who remained silent, finally said: "I don't intend to deny you, but you are too ignorant and incompetent. This kind of problem can't be solved, and I feel horrified just by imagining what you will do in the future."

Sudou Takeru patted the table angrily.

He said angrily to Horikita Suzune's statement: "It's so noisy, it has nothing to do with you!"

"It really has nothing to do with me."

"No matter how painful you are, it will have no effect on me."

"I just feel a lot of sympathy."

"In your life so far, you should have been avoiding hard things." Horikita Suzune ignored Sudou Takeru's anger, and regarded it as a child's mischief.

That's right, in the eyes of Horikita Suzune, Takeru Sudou, who can't even solve the most basic equation, is just a child.

Not even a child.

Seeing that Sudo Takeru couldn't argue with Horikita Suzune, he wanted to grab Horikita Suzune's lapel.

Seeing this scene, Osamu Dazai immediately grabbed the ice ball from the black tea, smashed it at Sudou Ken's wrist, and said leisurely: "Don't be rough on girls, you will be hated."

Sudo Ken touched his wrist and said, "Damn it, Ike, Yamauchi, and Chongya, let's go, since she looks down on people, we don't want to stay here anymore!"

Only four people remained at the scene.

And even Kushida Kikyo seemed to have run out of patience.
