Chapter 84: Grades Interlude Part 2

AN: This is after Aunty Mio disappeared.

Sena knew better than to ask any of her childhood friends for help in studying.

Mamori would end up either babying her ("Now, let's start simple Sena. What's what is four divisible by?") or overworking her ("Now, let's make things harder. Here, Sena, I want you to read this Calculus book that my dad got from Tokyo University.").

Unsui wouldn't know how to tutor her ("Um…").

Agon would just make fun of her ("How can you not know this? I already knew it when I was eleven-years-old!").

Donatello… Well, as much as Sena loved Donatello, he was just as stupid as she was.

("ORAAA!")

So when Sena heard that Kid was a top student in his school, she came to him for help.

Kid, in response, looked at her with a flummoxed expression. "Uh, what?"

"Well, since I'm held captive in your mansion against my will, I might as well get something out of it," she said, shrugging.

He scratched his head (he wasn't wearing his hat today, Sena noticed). "Well, I'm mighty flattered that you'd consider me worthy of bein' your tutor, Sena-san," Kid said, smiling lazily, "but, ya see, I'm not exactly best suited to teach."

From what Sena had learned while staying here in this big fancy empty mansion was that Kid always made low opinionated comments about himself, whether he believed it or not. Sena wasn't sure whether he would say such things because he really did have low self-esteem or that he would try to get out of some things he didn't want to be part of.

In Sena's ears, that sentence sounded like an excuse, so she responded, "Shut up and help me."

In the duration of her stay, Kid, in return, had observed that Sena was either developing a testy personality or she was undergoing stress again. That or she was on that time of the month. He didn't really want to think about it.
