Love Fest!

Before Nozomi left, he saw her smile which made him think that she might have an idea of what to do with her troublesome friend. While she didn't say any specifics, soon, she might come to the clubroom, to use inspection of the student council as a reason.

"So what do you want to do with our studies, you'll help outright?" Maki snickered, as she had said that, the others heard her strifeful words, Honoka, Nico, and Rin which were the most affected mechanically turned their head towards their direction.

Their faces that had hints of undeniable signs of uselessness. Just teaching Honoka made him work more than what was enough, the studies he had taught vanished inside her head as soon as the test was done. While Rin, not the most useless, 'barely' gotten passing grades, if not him ingraining keywords to her brain, she might have forgotten it as soon as she had slept later.

While Nico was the earliest acquisition to the group and had that similar look of grief and trepidation, it was easy to tell that she also had trouble with her class studies.

"Nico... Nico Nii, I'd never f-fail a class! Don't look at me with those eyes!" Nico with her acting cute pose had seen Maki's look and made a rebuke upon seeing her expression.

He remembered that he still had a memory pill which he hasn't used yet, he still had 9 left, he felt that it was a good time using it and he won't be telling them that he used it. After all, it was only useful for a normal person, he had already unlocked his mental status.

While he practiced psychokinesis every day, it had only grown to 5 and that he could now lift pencil size weights composed of metal. He didn't know what use his telekinetic powers would have, but since he could just train it to leisure, he just continued to do so.

"For the meantime, I will help Rin, Hanayo with Maki as help for their studies, Umi will teach Kotori and Honoka, and as for Nico... I will give ti--" Hiroto got interrupted with a large knock, as the door opened, Nozomi had come greeting with that perpetual smile on her face, as soon as she entered she followed up.

"I will teach Nico for her studies." The girls had a surprise expression. Nico turned nervous since she's well acquainted with Nozomi and felt her mouth trembling before she turned backside from the akimbo with a forced speech that sounded all lies.

"I told you, I'm in no danger of failing any gra...." but before Nico could finish her bravado, Nozomi approached her like a Mach-4 missile, before putting both her hands to Nico unnoticed b.r.e.a.s.t area which made Nico squeal like a kitten.

"Keep telling lies, and I'll give your b.r.e.a.s.t a rub you never forget," Nozomi whispered to Nico's ear which made Nico ticklish, and before then she easily acceded, leaving her fate to the big-b.r.e.a.s.ted, b.r.e.a.s.t-maniac senior.

"Is that their initiation rite?" Hiroto looked at them, with nothing to 'feast' his eyes and immediately made a 180 turn towards Maki who had shivered as if remembering what she had experienced with Nozomi.

"All right! We're all set now, right? Let's hit the book starting tomorrow! Ohh!" Honoka asked with an expectant expression, Rin followed up with happiness, since she won't be studying today, but as if Umi was the last boss monster, intercepted their victory call.

"We're starting today!" Umi said seriously, pointing at the defeated two who in a second had fallen to the table faking a defeated cry.

Hiroto taught Hanayo and Rin where they were bad at, it was easy to teach Hanayo but Rin's a handful to teach but he could acclimate to her whims because Maki was on the side looking at her with a ready hand-chopping position.

Maki's already a competent student that knows a lot of things, she can easily follow up the discussion as he knows she's a study addict, even taking studying until 11 pm. She could Rin and Hanayo, to act as his substitute while he compounded the memory pill towards their tea's, and before they realize, they can easily absorb a better part of the lessons.

"Am I gonna have to study every day?" Rin lamented eyes closed, resting her head to the table while she held the English book material, not really looking at it. That earned her a chop on the head from the red-haired girl on her side.

"Of course!" Maki seriously said looking at Rin who was rubbing her head, Rin afterward tried to fool Maki with a trick only rice lovers would fall for.

"Look, there's a flying onigiri there!"

"You know it will not work, you think she'd fell for it?" Hiroto laughed at Rin's playfulness, Maki had gotten irritated, and gave another chop on Rin's head. Although, Hanayo ultimately was the one that had fallen to Rin's rice deception.

Hiroto approached the trio and handed out the tea blend in the mug, "Is it a recent one?" Maki asked if she wasn't really the person who drinks tea at a leisurely pace.

She only acclimated to taking the tea he prepares since he always hands out tea whenever they were doing something strenuous.

"Just a normal Hipton tea, albeit sweetened with milk." Hearing that made Maki's eye turn in delight, nodding and picking up the mug, tasting it turned into a delight.

While the regular tea taste didn't make them want it, it was the benefits it provided that always got their attention. It was also seeing their disturbed faces that made him change the way he served tea. Since then, he started adding flavors to the tea he prepared; he had been collecting tea leaves, ever since he was given by one of the employees from the Comic company, from then on, he had been ordering fresh tea leaves in the market.

He even thought of getting a quest for it so he could gain a tea making skill. now his inventory has a great variety of tea types, he intermixed different flavoring just to remove the usual bitterness leaves had. The popular tea blending, which the girl really liked, was bubble tea and milk tea. Maki just liked plain milk tea while the others had their own preferences.

The godsend tea was really beneficial to everyone, although the effect only came after some minutes and it didn't take them to think that something was different the moment they drank what had been given to them.

Honoka, for example, overreacted that the god had given her a new lease of life, immediately doing a joke tribal dance. She knew Hiroto was the one that again, helped them so rather than saying out loud, she just thanked openly albeit in a comical way which made everyone laugh out loud. The other didn't take time to notice some difference in their perceptions and began looking towards the only male and after some time removed their glances as it might feel weird to the red-haired girl currently interrogating the perpetrator towards the event.

Most of them were already used to his 'mysteriousness' and it's not like they really mind it anyways, rather they were just curious about all things. He can only say things in a roundabout way, his reasoning similar in the past which made Maki leer before putting it out of her mind.

"Hiroto-kun is really an interesting fellow~" Nozomi smiled mysteriously while sipping the tea that was given to her. While she didn't know what was going on, it might be because she had easily noticed Nico's improvement towards memorizing and calculating.

"Yeah, I was also wondering how he could pull things like these.." Nico whispered to Nozomi, although she was equally grateful for his help. Hearing Nico made Nozomi get more curious and before she could think, she felt a similar batch of hands slipping towards her clothes behind towards her front. Nozomi had already breached her defense, rubbing her nonexistent c.h.e.s.t again, seemingly wanting to get some ideas while also 'teaching' her who was squirming and yelling nonstop.

"Yahh~ Don't rub my b.r.e.a.s.t... Please Iyahh~" Nico cutely m.o.a.n.e.d while Nozomi whispered to her ears to get her to continue studying since she was wasting time, she also added some interrogations about him but she just said it indirectly without making Nico conscious.

"I'll study alright, I understand! Get off!" Nico nodded her head vigorously while waving her hand. The titty monster behind her had traumatized her. She might just get another nightmare making her not able to sleep during the night and thinking about it made her shiver from time to time.

Seeing students making serious faces while studying, Nozomi felt regretful that her blonde-haired friend wasn't here. She thinks that Eli had missed out on things like this.

It would really benefit her friend if she could experience befriending unique types of personality and not just her. It would give an improvement towards her mentality and it will be great if she could join the group. As they all had their own part to settle, it will be an exceptional experience towards her mentality where they were all needed to take part and not just having all the focus to herself.

That's why she actively wanted to help U's persuade Eli to join the school idol group, even going as far as helping them out. It might not be known, but she had predicted that in the future, they might join the group and that was why she was here, to acclimate and befriend the personality within.

Adding that Nozomi was already a friend of Nico and that's why she allocated time to help out Nico's studies, albeit with some rubbing here and there.

Right now, Umi was discussing towards the group her meeting with Eli yesterday before she heads out the school. As she had parted the group rather early, she said she had met up with Eli's sister Arisa, who was listening to their song. Before having a minute of talk with the student council president that had met up later with her sister.

"So Eli-senpai's little sister is a fan of Umi-chan? Isn't that great?! She could be our leverag--" Honoka had an idea, but before she could finish her words, Umi looked at her with a serious look.

"Don't say things like that Honoka!" Umi immediately reprimanded her, making her silent before putting out her cute tongue and continuing.

"But… I just want her not to hate us." Honoka said with an inaudible voice. Umi looked below for a moment before saying seriously.

"Technically... Yes.. she said that we're amateurs but. I don't think she dislikes us and it was just because she didn't like the idea." Umi said, clearly, Eli wasn't a terrible person, she saw a great relationship with her sister Arisa, though she didn't like them. Umi didn't hate her and it was the same for all of them.

Eli was a character everyone looked up to and since the majority was below Eli's grade, they didn't have the courage to hate her, rather they were just irritated at her stubborn personality.

Hiroto rubbed his chin and said. "She might just have said that because she had some kind of basis… we will never know unless we ask her why."

"I could tell that she doesn't really like school idols, I mean she doesn't like the whole school idol thing… She didn't dislike us, I could tell from her words. I told everyone about this since I don't want you to hate her." Umi looked at everyone with a serious face, they had agreed to her at this point, since even Nozomi was doing her best helping them.

'Yeah, she said that before, I guess she had bad blood towards school idols but what's the point? Should I ask her?' He might have to make some appointments, visit the student council room or something.

Maki twirled her hair lazily before saying, "Do we really need her acknowledgment? I mean, if she hates school idols that much?" It was clearly not a good idea to ask her, even if all of them want the reason she was like that.

"Hey… why don't we just ask Nozomi-san?" Kotori said to everyone, nodded before hearing a reply.

"Yeah, let's do that." Umi agreed, but she ultimately said that she was the only one who would talk to Nozomi. After some time, he talked about Eli's cute imouto, which Hiroto had known for a time in the past.

Hiroto agreed about one thing, "Yeah, Arisa, she looked like a princess and she's really cute!" Umi seconded, while Maki who looked at him snorted, showing her crossed arm syndrome.

Thankfully, Nozomi would teach Nico later at a restaurant, so Umi had time to visit the big-b.r.e.a.s.ted senpai. Although Umi had a wry smile seeing Nico who was not listening to Nozomi and before Nico spoke her usual lines, Nozomi had already been rubbing here and there.

"They're something I would like to ask you," Umi said seriously, which garnered the two's attention. As for some time, she learned why Eli hated school idols that much, which she didn't express to others.
