Chapter 39 Cream Puff Tutoring Begins (jpg)
After school, as agreed beforehand, Akina Amaho came to the volleyball court with the twins.
She sat alone in a corner, waving to Miyako and Miyaji, signaling them to get back to training.
She sat there and opened her sketchbook, which contained several drafts of the Ferris wheel scene she wanted to replicate.
Akina Amane felt that it would be good to maintain the pose exactly as it was back then, but she would always subconsciously recall the unusual temperature at that time and doubt whether she could maintain that state to finish the whole painting.
She sighed and thought to herself, "Never mind, I probably won't be able to draw for a while anyway. I need to tutor these two first."
Therefore, there is no rush to complete this painting.
She turned a page, looked up, and began sketching a simple human figure on the manuscript paper.
She began observing the people's movements again and sketching them. At least when she was drawing, Akina Amagoi could stop thinking about anything.
Before we knew it, the volleyball team's training session for the day was over.
Akina had already packed her bag before they arrived, picked it up, and waited for them to walk towards the door together.
"I'll have to trouble you to lead the way." Akina Amaho nodded to Yuu Miyako and Osamu Miyako.
After all, she was going to visit their home today.
This was Amaho Akina's first time visiting her friend's house, so it was understandable that she was a little nervous.
Thinking of this, even her expression turned a little uneasy.
Gong You and Gong Zhi walked over to her side, with Gong You leaning closer: "Ah, it's alright, Mom is very happy to have you here."
After getting too close, Amaho Akina felt that they were both very hot.
She took a step back without making a sound: "You guys are all warm, so you'd better stay away from me."
Getting any closer makes me feel uncomfortable.
It wasn't because they were still sweating, but because—well, simply because they were too close to each other and weren't used to it.
Gong You pouted, looking rather unhappy: "Ah, it's already winter, doesn't Mina feel cold?"
"No, I'm wearing really thick clothes." Akina Amami shook her head.
She has many years of experience taking care of herself, so she knows exactly what clothes to wear at this time, and she rarely gets sick.
After all, it would be very troublesome if you got sick and were all alone.
"Yeah, let's hurry up and go. Even if Mina is dressed warmly, she can't stay outside in the cold wind for too long." Miyaji shrugged and tugged at his coat.
Besides, they can't stay outside in the cold wind all the time.
"That's true... Ah, I'm so hungry! Let's hurry up and move on!" With that, Gong You quickened his pace and walked forward.
Amane Akina followed behind him, while Miyaji stood at the very back, their positions suddenly changing completely.
She turned around and glanced at Gong Zhi.
"Why don't you walk faster?" It was quite novel to see him fall behind all by himself.
Of course, she can't keep up with Gong You's pace now; he's moving way too fast.
Miyaji took a few steps forward and stood beside Amaho Akina, shrugging his shoulders: "Ah, I'm not like that stupid Yu, who would inexplicably rush to the front."
Yes, it's obvious that Gong You was completely relaxed before he did something like this.
However, it is true that they are more relaxed when they are with Akina Amaho because they don't have to think too much.
Of course, there are some situations where you can't consider too much.
Following in Miyako's footsteps, Amaho Akina arrived at the Miyako residence.
Ms. Miya was indeed very welcoming of Akina Amaho's arrival. She, who was initially a little reserved, relaxed here and finished dinner with everyone.
After dinner, Gong Zhi asked, "Would you like to come to our room and take a look? We've hung all your paintings on the wall."
Akina Amagi blinked: "Huh? Is this... appropriate?"
Is it really appropriate to just walk into a boy's room like this? Akina Amami hesitated a little.
Although she was also a little curious, she wondered what it would look like if she hung up her paintings.
"Oh, it's alright, Mina, just come in. There's nothing you can't see anyway." Miya Yu waved his hand; their room wasn't anything special.
Besides, knowing that Amaho Akina was coming, they tidied up the room in advance.
Amane Akina followed Miya Yu into their room with suspicion, and was speechless for a moment as she entered.
How come... her oil painting is right there as soon as you walk in?!
They framed the painting and hung it in the center of the wall. In addition, the left wall was covered with sketches of Miyaji, while the right wall had sketches of Miyayu, which corresponded perfectly to the left-right order of the paintings.
For a moment... well, she looked to the left and right, hoping they would speak first.
Unfortunately, Gong You was looking at her with bright eyes, and Gong Zhi didn't say anything either, but he was also staring at her, as if waiting for her to speak.
Akina Amane sighed, "Alright, I know you guys really like my drawings. Let's hurry up and start our tutoring instead of looking at these."
If she keeps watching, she'll really feel embarrassed.
How could someone fill a room with so many paintings... Although I already knew that Yuu's actions were outrageous, I didn't expect Osamu's actions to be just as outrageous.
It's like... in some way, she's always been with them.
After all, paintings are, to some extent, a projection of her personal spirit and emotions, and that oil painting is especially so.
"Oh right, so where should we go for tutoring?" Gong You paused, as if he had just remembered the question, and then involuntarily looked at his room, trying to find a suitable place.
"Idiot Yu, go to the living room." Miyaji knew that Yu wouldn't consider this issue and would instead try to take him directly to his room, even though he didn't think it mattered.
But it's obvious that the room's environment will make Mina feel awkward.
Okay, he admitted that he deliberately wanted to see Akina Amaho's emotions, which is why he hung all the paintings on the wall, and that's why he said those things before.
Otherwise, he would simply put the paintings away and treasure them carefully.
“The table in the living room is quite big, let’s go to the living room.” Akina Amaho nodded, agreeing with Miyaji’s suggestion.
She panicked for a moment after noticing Gong You's gaze. If they were really having tutoring in the room, she would have to avoid looking at the wall, which would be too embarrassing.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief now that she could escape this room.
Gong You pursed his lips and followed them into the living room.
Well, it's still a bit of a shame that we can't let Akina Ama stay in their room any longer.
The living room table was now empty, and Gong You and Gong Zhi had taken out their exam papers and placed them on the table, along with their usual textbooks.
Akina Ama picked up their textbooks, flipped through them, and sighed again.
Sure enough, they hadn't memorized anything in their textbooks.
"You don't actually have laptops, do you?" Akina Amami asked.
Gong You and Gong Zhi both honestly shook their heads.
“Because I felt that writing it down in a book was enough,” Miyaji said.
“But it seems that not much of it was recorded in the book,” Gong You said.
Clearly, they both think the same thing.
Akina Amazu pressed her forehead and shook her head.
Let's catch up on the subjects we failed first, like math and physics.
She took a deep breath: "The knowledge this semester is actually not too bad. I have already compiled the formulas. If you don't understand them, you can look them up in my notebook."
As she spoke, she pulled out two sheets of paper, one containing mathematical formulas and the other physics formulas.
There were two more notebooks. Gong You picked them up and flipped through them; they were full of questions he couldn't understand.
Are these the people in the college entrance exam preparation class? Gong You was puzzled but impressed.
Gong Zhi nodded and took the two pieces of paper.
Amamiya only wrote the formula once. It seems that at least tonight, he will have to look at this one with Miyayu. To some extent, he is not too willing.
Akina Amaho cleared her throat and said, "You guys, take a look at the formula first, and write it down roughly. If you don't know how to use it, just look at my notebook."
As she spoke, she took out two more test papers from her bag; it was unclear how she had prepared them.
"These are questions from a previous college entrance exam. You don't need to pass; just getting about a third right is good enough," she said.
After all, the test questions for the college entrance exam preparation class are more difficult than those for the regular class, and of course, more difficult than the final exam.
When Miyaji took the test paper, he was sure to understand the first question.
Although a formula seemed to flash through my mind, I had absolutely no idea how to use it.
With no other option, Miyaji sighed and obediently began studying the mathematical formulas.
Gong You also came over to look at it together, and the two of them soon started arguing quietly while flipping through her notebook. It seemed... well, the learning atmosphere was pretty good.
Amamiya shook her head wearily, then took out her sketchbook. Since there was nothing else to do, she might as well record this scene.
With that in mind, she felt perfectly justified in drawing the scene of the two of them looking at the notebook together, but in the middle of their argument.
Another half hour passed, and the two picked up the test papers and began to answer the questions. Akina looked at the time and thought, "Hmm, it's only 8 p.m., so there seems to be plenty of time."
She still had some hope that she could raise their math scores to a passing level in just one night.
However, it's clear that she was overthinking things.
When she saw the exam paper, she gasped.
At first glance, almost all of them were wrong, and of course, there were also some questions that I couldn't answer.
Hmm... this test paper is still too difficult for them. She removed the questions that were not suitable for them, but the remaining accuracy rate was only about 20%.
Akina Amane took a deep breath.
Although a 20% accuracy rate is not bad, slightly better than I initially expected, how come there are still so many basic mistakes!
She simply couldn't tolerate this situation any longer.
"Well, it looks like it's going to take a lot of effort from here on out." She said this with a smile, but it sounded like she was gritting her teeth.
Gong You and Gong Zhi both felt a chill.
I have this feeling... for some inexplicable reason, is it a mistake to have Mina tutor me?
