Chapter 177: After Homeroom (1/2)

It was the first day of the school semester, and the school assembly ended, their homeroom teacher ended the session, and they could return home.

However, it was also because they had tests the next day.

“I don’t wanna have tests~”

Once class was dismissed, Chitose said next to Itsuki, sprawled on the table, and grumbled in frustration.

“Really? I think it’s easy if you do your revision normally. We have it easy here since we can go home earlier during exam period.”

“You and Mahirun get to say this since you’re elite students~ ordinary students hate tests~ isn’t that right, Yuu-chan?”

“Ahahaha, well, I understand what you two are thinking. I feel a little lonely since I don’t have club activities, but a rest day is a luxury to me. I don’t really have any thoughts about tests.”

“Ughh, you’re an elite student too Yuu-chan…?”

Kadowaki was the ace of the track team, but he was not all brawns. His studies were good, and in fact, he was in the upper echelon.

Chitose did not participate in any clubs, but she used to be on the track team, and preferred to be physically active rather than studying, which was why she was bad at the latter. Truth be told, the biggest reason was that she hated studying.

“Ikkun~, everyone’s bullying me.”

“No point looking for me. Well, just work hard, Chii.”

“Ikkun you traitor. You’ve been secretly studying during summer break.”

“I don’t get my freedom if my grades are too poor.”

Itsuki laughed. According to him, his parents demanded that he improve his greats.

He was capable to begin with, smart, but he always prioritized Chitose, resulting in his grades being average. His father was probably unhappy about this.

Guess that guy has it tough with his family, so Amane pitied as he prepared to go home. It appeared Mahiru was done, for she approached him while holding her bag.

“My apologies for keeping you waiting. I was talking to the teacher…”

“Ah it’s fine, I’m just chatting with them. Chitose’s just rambling stuff like tests tomorrow, and such.”

“I cannot help you there.”

“You’ve forsaken me!?”

“We will be having them tomorrow, and it is too reckless to remember everything that is to be tested, impossible even…and besides, what is the point of the long break?”

Chitose, who looked up pleadingly to Mahiru, collapsed onto the table again once she heard this rational take.

You reap what you sow, Amane gave a look of pity, and he was really powerless to help with her lack of memory and hard work.
