Chapter 28: A Tutoring Task That Starts Off Unsuccessfully

“What’s wrong?”

Yagi Miyuki returned to the room with a chair and noticed that Michako was emotionally down and leaning on the table. He couldn’t help but ask, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“Not at all.”

Michako straightened up and smiled, shaking her head, “I’m just a bit tired, that’s all.”

“Alright.”

Yagi Miyuki sat down next to his sister and said, “Can you hold on? If not, you can rest for a bit. I can help you with your homework later.”

“It’s fine.”

Michako cheerfully said, “Let’s start now; I’m having some trouble with this problem.”

“Let me see… Ah, this question involves quadratic functions. Look here…”

Yagi Miyuki explained the question in detail. For him, such middle school-level math problems were really no challenge.

“Oh, I see.”

Michako was fundamentally smart; her mind quickly caught up, and she solved the problem in a few strokes.

“Exactly.”

Yagi Miyuki was slightly surprised. Michako had always been poor at math, and he had expected that he’d have to explain this question multiple times before she understood it. He hadn’t anticipated that she’d grasp it so quickly.

“You go ahead and solve this problem on your own; it follows the same approach as the previous question.”

After helping Michako with most of her weekend homework, Yagi Miyuki stood up and stretched. Suddenly he said, “Michako, you’re going to high school next semester. Will you be continuing at St. Cronia or do you have any other school in mind?”

“I’ll definitely be going to the same school as you, Brother.”

Michako grinned, “That way, we’ll be in the same school building.”

Saying this, Michako casually mentioned, “By the way, Brother, isn’t there a particularly cute Ninomiya-senpai in your high school? The boys in my class often talk about her.”

“Yes, I guess.”

Hearing a name he didn’t want to hear, Yagi Miyuki’s expression immediately soured.

Damn it, the most troubling thing for him right now was Ninomiya-senpai, who had inexplicably become entangled with him.

If it were just any ordinary girl, he wouldn’t be afraid of her threats, but it had to be Ninomiya-senpai, the goddess of all the male students at St. Cronia. This was extremely uncomfortable.

To be honest, he still hadn’t figured out what exactly Ninomiya-senpai wanted. Toying with him didn’t seem to be fun at all, did it?

“Do you know her, Brother?”

“I guess you could say that.”

Yagi Miyuki reluctantly said.

“Is she really cute?”

Cute?

The twisted smile of Ninomiya Homura flashed in Yagi Miyuki’s mind, and he decisively shook his head, “Not cute at all!”

Seeing that his sister was about to ask more questions, Yagi Miyuki, who really didn’t want to hear the name “Ninomiya,” waved his hand and said, “Alright, now that your homework is done, Michako, you should go and rest. Take a nap, don’t tire yourself out.”

…

A mundane daily life passed in the blink of an eye, and soon it was Monday again. Early in the morning, Yagi Miyuki arrived at the school with a heavy heart.

Yesterday he had been so happy that he’d forgotten to think about how to deal with the troublesome Ninomiya-senpai.

“I hope Ninomiya-senpai doesn’t show up to block my way today. If she messes with my mood, it’ll be a problem for my interview,” Yagi Miyuki thought solemnly.

That’s right; yesterday, he had received an interview notice from Swallowtail!

Just thinking about it made Yagi Miyuki somewhat excited, as if he could already see the hourly wage beckoning him.

To be honest, he had never earned such a high wage in his two lifetimes!

“Today’s interview absolutely cannot go wrong!”

The entire day, Yagi Miyuki was on tenterhooks, afraid that Ninomiya-senpai would come to bother him.

However, to his surprise, from morning till afternoon, he didn’t see even a trace of Ninomiya-senpai.

The school bell rang in the afternoon to signal the end of classes. Although Ninomiya-senpai didn’t show up, Narase Mero, who had shattered Yagi Miyuki’s worldview, did come to find him.

“Yagi-sensei, I’ve completed these papers using my own abilities, just as you told me to.”

Arriving at the school library, Yagi Miyuki looked at the few test papers he had just finished correcting and fell into a long silence.

He wondered whether earning his tuition fee would be easier than tutoring Narase Mero.

Japanese: 11 points

Math: 9 points

English: 7 points

Biology: 10 points

Physics: 8 points

Chemistry: 6 points

History: 12 points

Yagi Miyuki raised his eyebrows and rearranged the test papers laid out on the table.

6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12!

Good heavens! She managed to score a straight sequence! In some ways, that’s already genius, right?

“Narase-san.”

After thinking for a moment, Yagi Miyuki removed all subjects except English, took a careful look at the English paper, and then concluded,

“Narase-san, these multiple-choice questions… you guessed them all, didn’t you?”

“Mhm.”

Narase Mero blinked her bright purple eyes, tilted her little head, seeming somewhat embarrassed.

Hopeless!

Yagi Miyuki covered his face in despair.

He thought that no matter how bad the situation got, teaching Narase Mero just English would be enough. After all, for students specializing in physical education, only English had a strict requirement in terms of academics. But now… he was wondering if she even knew the 26 letters of the alphabet.

“You, circle the words you recognize on this test paper.”

“Okay.”

Narase Mero obediently took the test paper, pulled out a ballpoint pen from her bag, and about thirty seconds later, handed the test paper back to Yagi Miyuki.

I…

Looking at the circled words on the paper, Yagi Miyuki’s eyes filled with pity.

I, you, what…

Even kids who have only been to kindergarten would have a bigger vocabulary than hers!

Yagi Miyuki felt the urge to throw in the towel.

This is truly starting from scratch!

Seeing Yagi Miyuki’s silence, Narase Mero gradually understood what was happening. The innocent smile on her face slowly faded as she softly said, “If you really find it impossible, you don’t have to trouble yourself, Yagi-san. I’ll tell the principal it’s my own fault.”

“We’re not at that point yet.”

Yagi Miyuki covered his face with his hand and said, “It’s just one subject, English, and you still have two years. If you try hard, you can catch up.”

Narase Mero looked slightly stunned and said, “Yagi-san, are you willing to tutor me? Previous teachers that the principal asked to tutor me gave up pretty quickly, so I thought you would too.”

She was actually prepared for this; though she often seemed carefree, she was not completely naive about such matters.

“Alright.”

Yagi Miyuki spoke with some frustration, “It’s indeed very troublesome, but since I’ve promised the principal, I’ll take responsibility and won’t give up on you.”

Even if it’s just for the sake of my financial aid, I can’t give up so easily!
