Before I knew it, about a third of the chocolate was gone.
This happened during a short fifteen minute break... I wonder how much Hijiri would have eaten if he hadn't been sleeping.
"...Ugh."
She was breathing heavily, something a maiden shouldn't do. She was in a deep sleep.
I study a little, eat lots of my favorite chocolate, and when I get sleepy, I go to sleep.
In some ways, it seems like a happy day. However, studying for a test shouldn't be a happy day.
"Ugh..."
Hime groaned in annoyance.
There was no sign of him waking her up right away. Even if he woke her up now, she would probably just slack off soon anyway, so he had to come up with a countermeasure first.
"For now... let's have some chocolate and take a break."
Well, there's no point in getting anxious.
Even though he was thinking seriously, he was a comical person, so it felt strange to take him so seriously. I tried telling him to take it easy.
"That's right. Yes. That's right... Shall we do that?"
Hime nodded and took the bag of chocolates from Kiyoshi's hand. It seemed that no more was allowed. She came over to me with the bag and sat on my lap.
"Yohei-kun, thinking about your sister is giving me a headache."
"...good job"
Wanting to show her some comfort, I gently stroked her head.
As always, the hair is smooth and silky to the touch. It's small and very easy to stroke.
"Nnya. Thank you.... thanks to you, the pain has gone away."
And Hime is cute.
I wonder if he feels good being stroked. His stiff body seems to relax and he leans on me in one go. He rubs his body against me, so I lightly support him and stroke his head, which is rumbling with a headache.
Then her voice softened a little.
"Anyway... just as I expected, Youhei-kun was a good teacher. It's been a while since I last saw you solving problems, so I was really moved."
"Is that so? Well, I'm not teaching you how to study, I'm teaching you how to get good grades."
"I think that's fine. It was a blind spot for me... Also, since I can't teach him, it made me realize how inexperienced I am. I think it's only you, Yohei, who can be so considerate to others."
As always, this kid is good at giving compliments.
I started to feel a bit embarrassed. I'm not a person with a high sense of self-esteem, so it was a little embarrassing to be recognized like this. Also, I felt so happy that I ended up stroking not only Hime's head but also her neck.
"Hmm...♪"
Hime then let out a cry of pleasure.
It's like a purring kitten.
"Youhei, your pet seems really happy. Why don't you have me as your pet? Meow."
"No, no. If I keep one, it'll be too cute and I'll end up doting on it, so that's not good."
"Ehehe. I'm happy that you adore me so much... but--ah"
That was the moment we started talking about pets.
Hime, who had been relaxing on my lap just a moment ago, suddenly stood up and looked at me.
Her eyes widen as if she has just noticed something. But that aside, they're cute and round.
"What's wrong?"
"...I understand. How can you study properly, Onee-chan?"
"What kind of method?"
"Dog Training."
It seems she has come up with a solution to break this situation.

[notice]
Thank you for always reading!
This time, the story "The Beautiful, Grade-Skip Genius Little Girl Who Doesn't Get Close to Anyone But for Some Reason Is Lovey-Dovey Only to Me" was published as a book by GA Bunko!
Accordingly, the title has been changed to "Why this grade-skipping genius little girl who doesn't get close to anyone only clings to me."
The book version is based on the web version, but it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a new work, as it was written entirely from scratch!
I tried my best to make it enjoyable for those who have already read the main story (｀･ω･´)ゞ
Of course, we will also do our best to serialize the online version. Thank you for your continued support.
