Chapter 171: Studying Seriously

After finishing dinner, we moved to my room.

We sat around the table in my room.

Perhaps sensing my serious intent to study—or maybe because they themselves were thinking of actually studying this time—no one complained. Sarina sat beside me, while Shigure took the seat across from me, Sakura on my right, and Umi on my left.

“Alright, let’s get started with studying.”

“Mm-hmm! I’ll be watching over everyone, so if there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask!”

Hearing that, for once, everyone actually began studying seriously.

Well, none of us could afford to score poorly on the test.

I spread out my math test prep sheets and started solving the problems.

Since math had always been one of my strong subjects, I worked through them smoothly—until…

“Yuki-kun, you got this answer wrong.”

“Huh?”

“Here. It’s a careless mistake. Your calculation is off from this point.”

Checking over it again, I realized she was right.

“Oh, thanks. I totally messed that up.”

Turning toward Shigure—

“Shigure-chan, rather than focusing on that grammar point, it might be better if you master this one instead.”

“Does that mean it’ll be on the test?”

“It came up last year. The same question was in the past exams too, so the chances of it appearing again are high.”

“There are past exams?”

“Yeah, a third-year senpai showed them to me last year.”

“So that’s how you know.”

“Yup. I helped that senpai out, and as thanks, they let me see them.”

“Was that part of your student council duties?”

“Nope, just helping out. The student council senpai were super busy, so I lent a hand. It happened to be right before midterms, so they let me check the past exams as thanks.”

“I see.”

“Shigure-chan, if you join the student council, helping out might get you some perks too, you know?”

“I’ll consider it… as long as it doesn’t affect Yuki.”

“Mm-hmm. And Sakura-chan… you seem to be doing just fine.”

“I do pay attention in class.”

“Even if you do, there are times when things don’t make sense or you forget them. But… as expected from the freshman representative, I guess?”

“Thank you.”

Turning to Umi, who was also studying with us—

“Umi-chan, you doing alright?”

“Yeah.”

Come to think of it, was Umi studying here because she had a test coming up too?

Curious, I asked her.

“By the way, Umi, do you have tests too?”

“I do.”

“I see. Think you’ll be okay?”

“I don’t even need to study right now. As long as I go over everything the day before, I’m fine.”

“Cramming isn’t good, you know?”

“As long as you pay attention in class and make sure to note the important points, you just need to review them the day before.”

“Then… what are you studying right now?”

“I’m doing prep work. I usually do it during lunch at school, though. When I get home, I have to take care of Onii-chan.”

“…Do you really take care of me, though? All we do is watch TV or play games together.”

“Keeping an eye on you so you don’t message any other girls counts as taking care of you too.”

“That’s not caretaking, that’s surveillance.”

“If you have time for pointless chatter, I can shut you up. With my lips.”

“Then do it later.”

“Got it. For about two hours, then?”

“I’LL SUFFOCATE!”

“Both of you, focus on studying, okay?”

Oops. I got caught up in bantering with Umi, and now Sarina was scolding me.

Time to get serious.

After that, we focused purely on studying.

Sarina wasn’t just watching over us; she had taken out her own textbooks and was reading them.

We continued until—

“I’m home!”

A voice called from the entrance.

Footsteps echoed up the stairs, stopping in front of my room. Then, a knock followed, and the door opened.

“We’re home!”

From the doorway, my mom and Nagi-san appeared.

“Welcome back, Mom, Nagi-san.”

“Welcome home.”

“Welcome back!”

“Welcome home.”

“Welcome back. Sorry for intruding.”

As we greeted them, both of their gazes turned to Sarina.

“Oh my, another new girl?”

“She seems like Yuki-san’s type.”

“Nice to meet you. I am Toujo Sarina, the student council president of their school. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“The student council president of that academy?! Nice to meet you, I’m Yuki’s mother, Aki.”

“And I’m Umi’s mother, Suiten Nagi.”

“…? Nice to meet you.”

Sarina seemed puzzled by Nagi-san’s introduction but chose to let it slide for now.

Since my mom was back, that meant it was already past 8:30 PM.

“Sarina, isn’t it about time you headed home?”

“Yeah, you’re right. I should go.”

“It’s dangerous out, so I’ll walk you home.”

“Isn’t that usually the other way around? …No, it’s fine. I’ll be okay on my own.”

Ah… I guess in this world, it’s normal for things to be this way.

Letting a girl walk home alone late at night didn’t seem right to me, but here, it was apparently nothing unusual.

Sarina started packing up her things and left the room. I followed her to the entrance.

She put on her shoes and turned to me.

“Thanks for today.”

“No problem! I got something out of it too.”

“Something?”

“The fact that Yuki-kun will be joining the student council soon! Oh, and I got to meet your parents too. By the way, is Nagi-san Umi-chan’s biological mother? Do they live together?”

“Ah, yeah. It kind of just ended up that way.”

“Hmm… I’d love to hear how that happened, but I’ll ask another time! See you later, Yuki-kun!”

“Yeah, see you!”
