"Who?"

She let her eyes rest, but as sharp as she was trying to capture her prey. That's right! That time, there's an uneasy feeling I felt through Jiro's vision, now I knew it, he was frightened! Behind the enormous wall of respect, I could tell she held every tie tied for the destiny around him as long as he was at that 'circle'!

One wrong step and I would be finished in an instant! Screwed it! What should I answer!

That's it! I should evade it! First, I must be calm! Think of another way I could take! No, this situation's too intense!Think, myself, think!

I clenched my teeth hard. It was checkmate. I didn't have the skills of sweet talk. I just have to bet on this. When I tried to open my mouth, suddenly, the sound of creak broke the moment of silence.

Quickly, to her response, she changed her facial expression into a kind-looking glance.

"Ah, that's my recommendation!"

I looked down to my right side. A wheelchair! That's Prof Enjiro and his granddaughter! But how?

"Jii-chan! You shouldn't interrupt their talk!"
"Hohoho. My bad."

He giggled at her.

"I beg your pardon Ma'am- My student's not good at communicating with others, especially to women. Would you kindly care to spare some time for us?"

What a backup! I'm saved!

〈Are? Did I make mistake? Aaah- I shouldn't do that! Not infront of this grandpa!〉

E- Is she an acquaintance of Prof. Enjiro? If I knew that, I should have asked his help!

〈How pitiful. Glad he had his relative with him.〉

No?

"I see, so that's what it is about."
"My apologies, it's too sudden. I wanted him to find new experiences out there. If you please, I'd like to entrust him to you."

〈Is he Mama's former teacher?〉

〈Is it Seo's acquaintance? Her teacher? Her teacher's acquaintance? Think I will let her decide on her own.〉

It's no good.
I thought everything from now's okay. What should I say? Isn't it the same as I started from the first step?

I looked around the living room. On the table infront of us, only a tray with cups of water were there. When I rolled my eyes to the left, another table was there, it's quite a mess. I saw books stacked on it, and two books catched my attention.

I see, so that's it.

"What would you do, Seo?"

〈Hiring a highclass colleger to teach me? I'm honored for the offer, but I'm sure Mama wouldn't be able to pay, and I can't let myself increase her burden any further.〉

When she was about to open her lip to refuse, I spontantly preceded her.

"I won't ask for payment. You're up to the national selection exam, right? I'll teach you, any hours per day will do. In exchange, you'll allow me to part the time for me to do my works. That'll count you help me for the internship. Isn't that sounds good?"

I insisted.

〈Physics?〉

"That's right! I'm specialized at physics and math! How about it?"

She looked at her mom. Looked like she knew her mom had let her decide on her own. For another seconds, she changed her expression.

"If you would, I'd like to take it."

She grinned. I was surprised it was nothing like before.

"Uh- Thank you for the offer!"

〈What a luck! I should apologize him for my deeds beforehand, though.〉

Again. Prof Enjiro giggled. Her granddaughter seemed to feel relieved, and the lady warmly smiled at them.

"Thanks in advance, Prof."

The lady bowed to us sincerely.

I sighed. The negotiation succeeded. At least for now, I must start to think how should I hide this from the Kato members. I knew I musn't left everything to Watabe-san to cover it all, must I?
