Chapter 38 Cola Chicken Wings didn't want to help them with their tutoring.
After that, life was no different from before.
However, at lunchtime, Akina Amami still eats with the twins.
After the post on the campus forum had cooled down and it was confirmed that no one was paying attention to it anymore, Amaho Akina suggested that she would go home alone as usual in the near future.
Of course, Miyako was still very reluctant to see her go: "Ah, why is Akina leaving so soon?"
He was hoping to show off his good looks to Ameho Akina.
“Well, I’m currently working on another oil painting, so it’s better to go home early and finish it,” said Akina Amami.
Gong You pouted, still somewhat dissatisfied: "Alright, but remember to message me if anything happens."
"Yeah, and if you miss me, you have to send me a message—" Before he could finish his sentence, Gong Zhi pulled him away, making his voice trail off.
Miyaji turned around and glanced at Amaho Akina, then nodded to her: "If you get back safely, let us know in the group chat, otherwise we'll worry."
Even if the post loses its popularity, there's still a chance someone might cause trouble for Akina Amaho.
Akina Amane nodded: "Don't worry."
Although she didn't think anyone would cause trouble.
The two groups parted ways at the foot of the teaching building, and Amaho Akina embarked on her journey home alone.
For some reason, she found the company she had spent the previous week reassuring, so much so that when she suddenly found herself alone at home, she actually felt... a little lonely.
Akina Ama sighed, patted her cheeks, and thought to herself that developing this habit was not a good thing.
If I really develop this habit, what will I do when I transfer schools?
She composed herself and headed home.
She had just made a draft of the painting yesterday, and today she was going to start painting. She clenched her fists tightly.

When they went to the volleyball club today, Miya Yu and Miyaji were suddenly informed that if they failed the final exams, they would have to stay for make-up classes during the holidays, and would only have three days off for the New Year.
Miya Yu and Miyaji both shuddered; they didn't want to be kept behind for extra lessons and had already decided to go out with Amaho Akina.
"Furthermore, if I stay behind for extra lessons, I won't be able to participate in the volleyball team's training," Kita Shinsuke said.
This sounds even more terrifying.
Gong You and Gong Zhi exchanged a glance, and then nodded in unison.
Amane Akina is in the college entrance exam preparation class, so she probably wouldn't refuse their tutoring requests, right?
"Probably," Miyayu thought uncertainly. She always felt that when they talked about their academic performance, Akina Amami seemed powerless.
So, after training ended today, looking at the messages displayed in the group chat on SNS, Akina Amane told them that she had arrived home safely.
Gong You sent a message with a series of clicks.
[Miya Yu: Akina, could you tutor us both?]
After seeing this sentence, Akina Amaho had a bad feeling.
Even if she refused, wouldn't she still be bothered by these two? She really didn't want to tutor them...
But it seems there are no other options.
Clinging to the last shred of hope, Akina Amasui sent a question mark.
[Tian Sui: ?]
[Miyaji: That's right, if we fail our final exams, we'll have to stay for extra lessons.]
[Gong You: This means our entire vacation time will be taken up! This is not good at all!]
He wanted to voice his strong protest against this, as Gong You did not want to be kept behind for extra lessons during this period.
Oh, so it turns out they were so nervous because I told them they were going to have to stay for extra lessons, and that's why they were even thinking of coming to me for extra help.
Akina Amane's lips twitched. Well, it seems I'll have to adjust my weekend plans.
There are still two weeks left, so it should be enough time.
As expected, her ominous premonition came true... She sighed.
However, helping her friends solve their problems is also something she should do.
[Tian Sui: Okay, then our plan to go to the art exhibition this weekend will have to be canceled for now. Let's catch up on our lessons this weekend.]
[Tian Sui: Tomorrow, please bring me your quiz papers from last time. I'll take a look and see which areas need more focused review.]
After seeing this sentence, Gong You and Gong Zhi exchanged a glance and then fell silent.
Neither of them seemed too embarrassed to admit it, as if every single subject required extra attention...
Oh no, what if Mina gets really angry when she sees their test papers tomorrow?
"What should we do now?" Gong You scratched his hair.
He felt guilty that his plan to send Akina Amaho to the art exhibition fell through, because there was no need to tutor them in the first place.
However... however, it is true that final exam scores are also important.
"What else can we do but bring our exam papers tomorrow?" Gong Zhi said.
"Luckily, I scored a few points higher than you last time." That way, even if they were to blame them, they would probably scold Gong You more harshly.
Gong You pouted: "What? You only scored two points higher than me, and you still failed."
To be precise, in the last foreign language exam, Miyaji missed passing by one point.
"At least it will save Mina some trouble," Miyaji shrugged.
[Gong You: Okay, then we'll bring you the quiz paper tomorrow.]
After sending the message, Gong You looked a little dejected.
Ugh... what should I do? He really doesn't want to take the final exams!!
-
Akina Amane looked at the exam paper in her hand and her lips twitched.
There are a lot of red checkmarks on it, which means that a lot of things are wrong.
She rubbed her temples, feeling a persistent headache.
"How did you two learn? How could you make mistakes on such basic knowledge points?" She pointed to the two math test papers, where the mistakes were almost identical, meaning that their knowledge level was actually about the same.
It seems that we only need to prepare the same tutoring plan for the two of them, but I still feel very uncomfortable about it.
Gong You: "Ah, for this question, although I know what the formula is, I can't figure it out."
Gong Zhi nodded: "I remember the formula too, but I don't know how to use it."
...There's no need to show it here; they're actually brothers sharing the same DNA.
Akina Ama sighed and shook her head.
Fortunately, I looked at their test papers after I finished eating. If I had looked at them before eating, I would have been so angry that I wouldn't have needed to eat at all.
“You two should come to my house for tutoring every evening for the time being, otherwise I’m afraid that with only weekends available, you won’t be able to keep up with your studies,” she said.
Looking at it now, it seems that it's best to just have them memorize the formulas and usage, along with some common techniques. That should be enough to at least get them a passing grade.
As for the rest... I don't expect them to be at a very high level; just passing would be good enough.
In the last quiz, most people failed, and several barely passed. It was impossible to tell which subjects they were good at.
Hmm... Aside from that, I should still highlight the key points for civics and history classes, otherwise Akina Amaho is afraid they won't be able to memorize them. Look at all the nonsense they wrote on their test papers.
Gong You nodded quickly: "Okay, shall we start tonight?"
Actually, he was quite excited to hear that he could go to Amaho Akina's house again.
But when I heard that I used to be a tutor... for some reason, I couldn't get excited anymore, and even felt a little nervous subconsciously.
As for Mina... her teaching style shouldn't be too strict, right?
Gong You couldn't help but shudder at the scene he was imagining.
Gong Zhi continued looking at his test paper. Well, they probably hadn't been paying attention enough. But even if they had, there were still some parts they couldn't understand.
Some knowledge simply passes through their smooth cerebral cortex, and after a slight lapse in concentration, they can no longer understand what is being said.
“Yes, starting tonight, it would be better to get you all to a level where you can pass the final exams smoothly as soon as possible.” Akina Amasui nodded.
She dared not take any chances, thinking that as long as she gave them some last-minute cramming over the weekend and highlighted the key points, she could pass the final exam smoothly.
"So, Mina, will you still come to watch our volleyball team's training? We'll go to your house together after we finish training," Miyaji said.
Akina Amane thought about it and realized that this meant they would have to eat out all the time.
“In that case, we should all eat out together before going back,” she asked.
"You can come to our house for dinner first, or Mina can come to our house to tutor us." Gong You scratched his head.
Hmm... I feel a little embarrassed to invite Akina Amaho to their house.
However, it is indeed more convenient to go to their house.
"Besides, this can also be considered payment for tutoring us. My family has been taking care of Mina's dinners for a while now," Miyaji said.
Their mother had long heard of Akina Amaho and was very curious about what she looked like, but she had never met her.
If they invited Akina Amaho to their home, Ms. Miya would surely be very welcoming.
After thinking for a moment, Akina Amane finally nodded: "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
Gong You turned to Gong Zhi in a low voice and asked, "What do you mean by 'I'm bothering you'?"
Akina Amako sighed. Even though she was sitting in the middle and speaking in a low voice, she could still hear their conversation.
"It means to disturb you. It seems that you really need to brush up on your Chinese language skills."
She was genuinely worried about the two of them; it seemed unlikely they would be able to answer any of the questions about explaining the words.
Gong You shuddered: "Ah, okay."
I felt that when she said that, Akina Ama's expression suddenly became terrifying.
He and Miyaji exchanged a glance, and Miyaji nodded.
Miyaji felt a pang of sympathy. They definitely couldn't slack off during their upcoming tutoring sessions. If they did poorly, it wouldn't just be a matter of holiday tutoring; they'd also have to face Akina's terrifying expression every day.
