Chapter 28 - Test Score
n
n
nWhen Shishio and Chihiro were about to go to the manager's room which happened to be also Chihiro's room, Misaki suddenly jumped into Shishio's back.
n
"Wait for me!
"
nShishio's strength was good so he didn't fall down on the ground when Misaki suddenly jumped into his back and he also had gotten used to his upperclassman's antics, however, Chihiro frowned when she saw how Misaki suddenly jumped on the back of her nephew.
n
"Misaki, what are you doing?
"
n
"I want to know Shishio-kun's score too!
" Misaki said without hesitation since she was curious. If Shishio's score on the entrance exam was too bad, then she would be troubled since no one would able to help her relationship with Jin.
n
"...Your relationship is good?
" Chihiro asked unsurely, looking at the two of them since she knew that her nephew only moved a few days ago.
n
"Yes.
"
n
"No.
"
nMisaki answered
"Yes
" happily, but Shishio answered
"No
" without hesitation.
n
"Huh? Why? Our relationship is very good, right?
" Misaki looked at Shishio in confusion.
n
"No, our relationship isn't good and now, should you let go of me? I am full of sweat, don't you feel disgusted?
" Shishio was full of sweat, especially after he had a workout, however, Misaki hugged him without hesitation which made him troubled since he felt his body was sticky.
n
"I don't care! I don't care! Our relationship is super good!
"
n
".....
"
nShishio was very helpless and looked at Chihiro with a helpless expression.
nChihiro looked at Misaki and could tell that this girl seemed to have a good opinion of her nephew, but then, she was curious at how her nephew was able to make this girl who was in love with Mitaka Jin to be so sticky toward him.
nHowever, more than that, Chihiro felt uncomfortable at how close both of them were at this moment, but she didn't say much.
n
"Don't bother us, alright? I am going to tell him his entrance exam score.
"
n
"Huh? Is his score so bad?
" Misaki unconsciously asked, then patted Shishio's head.
"As your upperclassman, I can't have you be so stupid, Shishio-kun!
"
n
"...
"
nShishio didn't say anything, but he stared at Misaki with an expressionless expression, and really wanted to throw this stupid girl into the courtyard.
nChihiro could see Shishio's expression at this moment was so bad and wanted to laugh for a moment, but then again, there was something that she needed to tell them first.
n
"Kamiigusa, get down from him.
"
n
".....
"
nMisaki looked at Chihiro with a stunned expression then let go of Shishio since it was her first time hearing such a strict voice from her teacher.
n
"Let's go, Shishio.
"
n
"Yes.
"
nShishio and Chihiro walked, but then Misaki also followed, but the two of them didn't say anything when this stupid girl followed beside them.
n
"Have you fixed the wooden board?
" Chihiro asked.
n
"It's done, you don't need to worry, Chihiro-nee.
"
n
"That's good.
"
nChihiro nodded and opened the door of her room.
n
"Go in.
"
nShishio nodded and entered the manager's room, it was his first time to be here, and the room seemed to be about twenty square meters in size, almost twice the size of his room. There was also a traditional kotatsu (blanket table) in the middle.
nLooking at the empty beer cans and snacks on the table, Shishio could guess easily what kind of life Chihiro usually led.
n
"Chihiro-sensei, you should clean up your room sometimes,
" Misaki chirped.
n
"If you don't like it, just get out,
" Chihiro said easily.
nMisaki then shut her mouth and sat on the kotatsu and made herself comfortable there.
nOn the other hand, Shishio was looking around Chihiro's room.
nThe overall layout of the room was relatively simple, and there was a long table next to the wall near the window. There were several monitors on it and a picture of various places was displayed on the screen.
nShishio could tell that all the angles of Sakurasou should be visible from the monitors. He then put his attention on Chihiro and thought that his aunt should be working as a part-time security guard on Sakurasou.
nOn the monitor, Shishio saw Kawai Ritsu walking back to the women's area, but he didn't think too much since he didn't think that he would do something wrong in the future.
n
"Come on, sit down.
"
nChihiro cleaned up the trash on the surface of the table and mentioned Shishio to sit in her opposite direction.
nThe two sat opposite each other at a kotatsu table, on the other hand, Misaki sat between them while eating a peanut that was left on the table while looking at both of them curiously since the two fell into silence.
n
"What's wrong, Chihiro-nee? The way you look at me is weird, is there something on my face?
"
nShishio touched his face and wondered whether there was something or...
n
"Or am I a bit smelly? I have just finished my exercise before so please understand.
"
n
"No, there's nothing on your face nor your body is smelly.
" Chihiro looked at Shishio as if she was looking at a monster and said,
"Do you know the reason why I have called you?
"
n
"My exam, right? Can you tell me?
"
nShishio had heard that Chihiro wanted to tell him about the result of his exam, but she suddenly fell into silence which made him quite confused.
n
"Yes, it did come out, I just received the result.
" Chihiro nodded to Shishio.
n
"Oh, how is it? I should pass the exam, right?
"
nShishio understood the reason why Chihiro's expression was a bit weird, but from her expression, he could tell that he should be passed and he shouldn't be failed, however, why was her expression so weird?
n
"Pass?
"
nChihiro was wondering whether Shishio was pretending, after all, that when she received the result, she thought that there was some mistake, so decided to check it again.
n
"Is Shishio-kun's score so bad? Did he fail?
" Misaki asked curiously.
n
"Misaki-senpai, do you want me to fail so much?
" Shishio asked, but the corner of his eye twitched, hearing Misaki's question. His score shouldn't be bad and he was sure of it. He was confident in his answer and he didn't think that he would fail, then there should only be one answer...
nShishio pondered and asked calmly,
"Did I receive a perfect score?
"
n
"...
"
nMisaki looked at Shishio with a dumbfounded expression before she laughed and slapped his shoulder several times.
n
"Shishio-kun, don't be stupid! The exam at our school is very difficult, there's no way for you to be able to get a perfect score.
"
nMisaki also had done the entrance exam before and she knew how difficult the exam was.
n
"Yes.
"
nChihiro nodded gently and then let out a long sigh as if a great burden had been released from her body.
n
"...No way..
"
nWhen Misaki saw Chihiro's reaction, she was dumbfounded.
n
"Shishio, when I received the score of your test, it really scared me.
"
nChihiro still couldn't believe it before, but she knew that everything was true, and at the same time, she was a bit glad when Misaki was here since she thought her reaction was a bit exaggerated, but when she saw Misaki's shocked expression, she knew that her reaction was normal.
n
"When I received your transcript, I thought that it was a mistake, but after I have checked it to the school a few times, I was finally sure that the information that I have received was correct.
"
n
"So I have received a perfect score, right?
" Shishio said with a smile and thought of this matter as an of course.
n
"....
"
nMisaki and Chihiro looked at Shishio's smile and had to admit that this guy was so handsome when he showed such a confident expression.
n
"..You..
" Chihiro let out a sigh and nodded.
"You have indeed received a perfect score, the result is beyond everyone's imagination, if it weren't for the school's confidence that the test papers couldn't be leaked in advance, and the invigilator's affirmation, and the monitor camera's record video, no one will believe that such a result will appear.
"
nChihiro took a sip of the water on the glass since she suddenly felt her lips were dry. She looked at Shishio and felt that she had overestimated his learning ability. She underestimated him, she underestimated him so much!
nWhen Chihiro thought about the situation when she asked her big sister about her nephew's situation before, her big sister told her to help him and taught him a lot of tricks and advice for the exam since she had told her his grades were average, but she felt that her big sister was lying to her.
nIf Shishio's academic results were average, then all the students in her school would be idiots.
