"Hurry up and go. Aoba's izakaya is just around that corner. Don't go to the wrong place."
"Yes, thank you!"
May breathed a deep sigh of relief.
Then he turned around and jogged towards Aoba's izakaya.
Watching her retreating figure, Meiqi also slightly curled the corners of her mouth.
This child...
It would be great to be with Xiao Qingye; she's very polite.
However, she can only be a concubine at most.
As for the eldest daughter-in-law, she still has high hopes for her own Mitsuha and Yotsuha.
Considering that Aoba is becoming increasingly popular, if necessary, her aunt could arrange marriages for Mitsuha and Yotsuba.
Ah!
That's a great idea!
Meiqi's face beamed with a happy smile as she acted as a matchmaker.
This may be the only happiness for middle-aged women.
Izakaya.
Aoba brought in freshly brewed barley tea and cookies that had just come out of the oven for Ichika and Yotsuba.
"Although I agreed to take on this tutoring job with Futaro, I don't know your grades yet..."
He watched as Ichika, whom he knew very well, drank her barley tea without any of the politeness one would show when meeting someone for the first time.
I couldn't help but think of the idol application form I saw in the Possum Group last night.
Does the girl in front of me still want to become an idol?
"Hey~ grades and stuff~"
When Ichika heard the word "grades," she even paused in her tea-drinking motion.
A hint of embarrassment flashed in those beautiful blue eyes.
After all, the five sisters were students who consistently ranked at the bottom of the class at Shujiwon Academy.
As a student, it's natural to feel a little embarrassed when asked about grades.
However, it was different from Ichika's awkward situation.
Yotsuba, who had been keeping an eye on Aoba and the small shop since she entered, immediately took out a stack of review materials from her bag:
"This is my report card, and also my recent exam papers."
"Oh?!" Looking at the almost glaring red F on the report card and the three-digit ranking, Aoba fell silent for a moment.
However, as a tutor, he still gave the girl his affirmation immediately.
"Yes, Nakano-kun's grades still have a lot of room for improvement."
"Hehe~ Store manager, just say it directly."
Yotsuba scratched the back of her head sheepishly, smiling sheepishly.
Ichika couldn't help but laugh: "Yotsuba already has the best grades among us, so, Manager... are you confident?"
confidence?
Aoba sighed softly to herself.
Is it okay to quit this job now?
However, if he gives up, it won't be easy for Futaro to explain himself to the organization.
After all, as the pillar of the family, Futaro has already had a tough time.
"Rather than asking whether I have confidence..."
Aoba looked at Ichika and Yotsuba very seriously. For the first time since graduating, he showed the seriousness one would show when reading:
"Or rather, Nakano-kun, are you all prepared to improve your grades?"
Compared to private tutors, those who can have a greater impact on academic performance...
It really comes down to the students' own mindset.
Faced with Qingye's question, Yihua was speechless for a moment.
On the other hand, Yotsuba raised her hand with a serious expression: "I'm ready!"
The two sisters' drastically different behavior temporarily dampened Aoba's spirits.
As the older sister, Ichika likely has more things to consider compared to her younger sister.
And what about four-leaf clover?
The feeling Aoba gets from her is similar to that of the hot-blooded, silly, beautiful girl in her class back then.
Hiratsuka Shizuka had also pestered him to tutor her in the same way.
"Since you are all confident, then I am no problem either."
Qingye did not press Yihua for details.
A girl the same age as Kasumigaoka, especially as the eldest sister, must have a lot on her mind.
That's a part of a young girl's heart that she doesn't want anyone to touch easily.
He just smiled and laughed.
Learning is not something bitter and hateful.
There is no need to burden them with emotional stress or anxiety.
"Then let's begin..."
Let's finish these dishes first.
"In English, these words..."
"History and Mandarin are key subjects; they are essential knowledge points that must be mastered." (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
"As for mathematics..."
Aoba watched Yotsuba's pen strokes with nervousness.
One second, one minute, ten minutes...
"Woooooo~"
"Hahaha, Aoba, don't force her!" Ichika lay on the table, looking at Yotsuba's worried face, which looked like she was about to cry, and couldn't help but laugh.
You can't improve your math skills just by explaining one or two problems.
Even with Aoba's tutoring, Yotsuba still almost cried when faced with a problem.
"Alright, alright, let's take a break."
Aoba smiled gently.
Mathematics is a headache in any world.
He wasn't surprised by Yotsuba's performance.
After all, their previous achievements speak for themselves.
Aside from mathematics, Yotsuba absorbed the other subjects he taught very quickly.
As long as you study hard and practice diligently, your grades should improve.
"Woo~"
Wearing a green hairband, Yotsuba held her head in her hands, her chin resting on the table, looking very sad.
Am I too stupid?
"No, everyone has different strengths."
Aoba got up and stretched.
The glimpse of her abs and waistline revealed by the hem of her short-sleeved shirt made Ichika, who had been paying attention to Aoba, dazzle.
"If one roughly categorizes a person's talents as either stupid or clever, then one will lose oneself."
"But the shop manager makes delicious cookies, and he's also very good at studying."
The girl's tone was somewhat low. "One (seven) things covered up? Guilt silk long [eight]?"
"I guess I'm still not good enough."
Aoba lowered her hands, her seemingly expressive eyes looking at the girl.
"If admitting yourself like this is not good enough, then Nakano-kun should just give up."
"Give up?!"
"Well, if you're bad at math, just give up on math. If you're bad at studying, just give up on studying. After all, Nakano's family is well-off, so it's not a big deal if he doesn't go to school."
"Can.."
The girl under the green headband avoided the gaze that seemed to see right through her.
really..
Even he gave up?
"There's no 'but'~"
Aoba remained ruthless, straightening up and abandoning her usual smile.
Anyone can say discouraging things.
"Even in the future, Nakano-kun will encounter all sorts of troublesome things. If he can't do it and feels that he's not good enough..."
Therefore, giving up or running away decisively is also permitted.
The words fell.
