"Yes!"
"Nakano student, you surprise me even more!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher looked deeply at May, speaking with emotion.
What surprised her was not only Nakano Itsuki's Chinese score but also her scores in other subjects.
And even the other Nakano students!
In all the years Shizuka Hiratsuka has been teaching, this was simply unprecedented, unheard of.
"Hehe... is that so..."
Nakano Itsuki spoke shyly.
Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced again at Mochizuki, who was still eating popcorn, wondering how there could be such a big difference in intelligence within the same family.
"Tell me, what should we do!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka pointed a finger at the score on the test paper, throwing the problem to May.
"Should I rewrite this essay?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka widened her eyes and glared at May.
Is this something that can be solved by writing one essay?
"I really want to improve, sensei."
May spoke weakly.
"Your foundation is very weak."
Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed.
"I know."
...
Finally, after some discussion.
Shizuka Hiratsuka decided to personally help Nakano Itsuki with the Chinese subject, with Mochizuki assisting.
After all, he was her cousin.
Mochizuki was a bit speechless.
He didn't even have a chance to speak.
So, you had me come here for so long just to help May with her studies?
She's already getting tutored, isn't she!
Coming out of Shizuka Hiratsuka's office, May was a little down.
"Cheer up, after all, you have a few good sisters with you, don't you?"
Unfortunately, these words didn't comfort May at all.
Although her other sisters weren't good at studying, they all had other strengths.
Ichika often went out for part-time jobs.
Nino was great at cooking.
Miku had extensive knowledge of historical figures.
Yotsuba had excellent athletic ability.
And she... was good at eating?
How could she become like her mother if things continued like this?
"Work hard from now on, Shizuka Hiratsuka Teacher is still reliable."
"I will also help."
"Besides, isn't your dream to be a sensei?"
"How did you know?"
May looked up in surprise; she hadn't told others about the wish in her heart casually.
"Hmm... Miku told me."
"Oh."
So that's how it was.
Back in the classroom, as expected, today's class was almost entirely spent going over the test papers.
This was like a second blow to the Nakano sisters.
For Mochizuki, what the sensei taught wasn't important.
What was important was that he had just received a message from Machida Sonoko on his phone.
Undoubtedly, it was good news.
Great news.
your lie in april had successfully impressed Machida Sonoko.
Machida Sonoko: Teacher Wangyue, your lie in april will be published alongside the third volume of 'Re:Zero'.
Machida Sonoko: I'm really sorry, I misjudged before!
In the company, Machida Sonoko's face felt a bit hot.
A few days ago, when Mochizuki handed her the manuscript, she had earnestly advised him.
She told Mochizuki not to aim too high, that since 'Re:Zero' was doing so well, he should focus on writing that book well.
Distracting himself to write another book at this time was like picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon.
Naturally, Mochizuki didn't mind this.
Was there any need to question the impact of four lies?
Furthermore, he was a student and a part-time writer, and Machida Sonoko's advice was also for his own good.
Light Novelist Wang Yue: It's fine, thank you for your hard work, Machida Editor.
In addition, Machida Sonoko also stated that she had already transferred the previous manuscript fee to his bank card.
This made Mochizuki very happy; he only felt at ease when the money was actually in his hands...
Walking towards the Service Club after school, Mochizuki sighed, today was truly a lucky day.
Let's go see President Yukinoshita, whom I haven't seen in a long time.
However, for some people, it was an unlucky day...
