English will be a fun surprise!

I struck up the conversation myself. Miss Jessica, your mind is somewhere else, isn't it?

"Mmm... Sorry, Mr. Player," Jessica replied, turning her head and looking genuinely apologetic. "I know you came all this way to teach me, and my dad probably paid out the nose for you to do it... but how am I supposed to focus on a lesson right now? There's probably only an hour or two until the rest of my family gets here. Hey, you should hang around and meet 'em! Let me tell you about George first. That guy's-"

That sounds fascinating, Miss Jessica. I interrupted her, sorry to do so when she had just found a topic she wanted to talk about. Miss Jessica, some of those cousins are like friends your own age, right? Would you like to give them a big surprise?

"Huh?" Jessica clearly had no idea what kind of big surprise a boring guy like me could offer them.

From what your mother tells me, you are struggling somewhat in your English studies. Do you remember me saying I was a world-renowned tutor? That's because I can teach people English with lightning quickness! How surprised will that dumb Battler be when you get to rub your mastery of the English language in his face? He'll be shocked stupid!

That thought seemed to make Jessica interested. She was obviously mischievously imaging how she'd get him good... Her face suddenly fell to a frown again. "Wait a sec. I didn't tell you about Battler, right?"

Agh! How many stupid mistakes was I going to let myself make? It was Natsuhi, Jessica. Natsuhi told me about your cousins, too. She was considering recommending me to your other aunts and uncles if I made a good impression.

"Ehehe! That makes sense," Jessica admitted with a charming laugh, grinning at her memory. "I heard Battler's kind of a mess when it comes to studies. Anybody who knew him'd jump at a chance to give him an education, even if they weren't his family."

Right? And how would you like to be the one to give him that education, Miss Jessica?

"... Okay," Jessica agreed. "You got a deal, Mr. Player! I'm fired up now! Let's see if you're all talk," she taunted me, a vaunted tutor who was probably a decade older, with a challenging smile. Ah... That sunny personality! It would almost be enough just to sit here and shoot the breeze with such an affable young woman.

However, that wasn't what I was here for. Frankly, I felt I had gotten far off track. Let's put myself in the right mindset again. There's Jessica's bed, where she'd just been lying defenseless a moment ago. It's near enough to touch, to roll in if I so desired... Here is Jessica, by herself. Her sparkling blonde hair, her smooth features, her perky breasts...

There. Greetings, I am H. I. Player, once again.

I must have some good English study materials in my bag... Perhaps something I prepared especially for this occasion.
