“Me? Well,…..I was having trouble finding anything to write in my notebook, so I copied a page from a long time ago exactly as it was, and the teacher remembered it well and got mad at me.”
“……Eh?”
When Yuuka heard my answer, she made a dumbfounded look.
“Oh yeah, that was during the rainy season when it was pouring down in the morning. I couldn’t play with my friends because of the rain.”
“Um, Sota kun?
“I couldn’t write anything in my notebook, so I couldn’t help myself and gave in to temptation and copied and pasted.”
The nostalgic memories of the past come vividly back to my mind.
But I think that elementary school boys would have copied and pasted the notebook at least once (of course, they would have been caught and scolded).
Even if they don’t, writing sentences is still very difficult for elementary school students whose Japanese language skills are still low.
“Geez, Sota kun. Don’t you think it’s not good to teach Mizuki bad things?”
Yuuka is angry ! She made a face like that.
“Oops, my bad.”
Right.
Mizuki chan was here.
“Mizuki, pretend you didn’t hear that, okay? Don’t ever imitate what he said, because you’ll turn into a bad girl.”
“Yes ! I promised earlier that I would not lie.”
Mizuki chan replied cheerfully and honestly.
I’m sorry, Yuuka.
If Mizuki chan, who is so honest and innocent, falls into the path of evil, it will definitely be my fault…….
“So, Mizuki, what are you writing in that book?”
Yuuka didn’t think it would be a good idea to ask me any more about the story, so she turned the conversation over to Mizuki chan.
“Mizuki writes about things that happened at school, about Onee chan and Sota Onii chan.”
“Eh, about me, too?
I had no idea that I would appear in Mizuki chan’s notebook.
“I wrote a lot about going to the pool together and playing together at home. Ehehe.”
Mizuki chan smiled happily.
“Hmm, I see. I’m curious about how Mizuki chan writes it. Can I take a look?”
I’m curious to know what I look like from Mizuki chan’s point of view.
But.
“I’m sorry, Sota Onii chan. But, you know, I can’t show my notebook to other people because it’s a privacy thing.”
“Privacy is another difficult word. But you’re right. You know, I write a lot of secret things in my notebook.”
And if it was a private conversation with the teacher, I would not know until I was a little older that it was actually passed on to my parents through home visits and the like.
When I found out that my parents knew about the secret I had written in my notebook, I felt betrayed by my teacher.
But that’s beside the point.
After that, I loosely studied English with Yuuka and helped Mizuki chan with her homework.
Mizuki chan is cute as an angel, to say the least, as she stood up dutifully with her textbook and tried her best to read aloud.
And in that vein, me and Yuuka got to read aloud, too,
“Oh, wow ! May I ask you to read it again?”
Yuuka’s reading aloud was fluent like an anime voice actress, and she was good with emotion.
I couldn’t help but ask for an encore.
And I, on the other hand, was just the opposite,
“Um…..Sota Onii chan’s delivery is stiff. You need to be more like the characters.”
“Sota kun. You have to read the lines with a little more emotion, okay? You’re not just slowly imitating the video, are you?”
The Himemiya sisters all gave me advice.
“No, it’s quite difficult to try not to misread it while also adding emotion at the same time…”
Or am I just not good at it?
“That’s why we have homework to read aloud.”
“You’re right……!”
Well, I, Konno Sota, a high school sophomore, was completely debunked by a third grader.
“Ahaha….”
Yuuka gave a drawn-out laugh when she saw me being debunked by Mizuki chan.
After Mizuki chan finished all of her homework, today’s study session ended.
Yuuka and Mizuki chan saw me off at the entrance.
“See you later, Sota Onii chan !”
“Yeah, see you, Mizuki chan.”
“Before the next lesson, please practice reading aloud properly. I’ll give you a test to see if you’ve mastered it.
“I-I’ll do my best……”
Dadan !
Sota’s test has increased by one subject !
“Sota kun, let’s have another study session together, shall we?”
“Erm, are you sure?”
“Of course. I’ll take care of Sota kun so that he doesn’t get held back for a year.”
“I’m grateful to Yuuka, who has excellent grades, for taking care of me.”
That said, since it’s housework, I can’t bother Yuuka too much since she’s busy, so I have to do my best to some extent.
Today’s study session has made me more motivated than ever to get ready for the midterm.
Wait for me, midterms.
I’ll do my best !
Woah ! !
