SPECIAL TUTORING:


Oh God, why did I agree to this?! I have no idea what kind of intense studying Nozomi has planned for me...


If this was enough to skyrocket Nico's grades in math, then I should definitely improve, too.


Maybe it won't be so bad after all.


...



NOZOMI: "My, my, hello there my student. I hope you're ready for a study session you'll never forget!"


AKI: "Uh..."


Okay, I'm doomed.


But, if I follow her advice, I'll pass. She's my only hope of saving my club!



NOZOMI: "You listening? Great, let's begin. While studying for the test, use a purple notebook and plastic writing mat!"


AKI: "Okay."


Why specifically purple? Does she favor that color or something?



NOZOMI: "Oh, and don't worry. I'll filter some of my Nozomi Power into your textbook."


AKI: "Great, I feel so much better. Seriously? I'm nor sure that this will improve my chances."



NOZOMI: "Non-believers will be punished."


AKI: "Punished?!"


NOZOMI: "I'll have to use my special Washi-Washi attack on you."


Uh oh, didn't she use that on Rin when I was helping out μ's before the interviews?


Wait... Ah ha!"


AKI: "Your Washi-Washi holds no effect against me, I am a boy and lack the anatomy!"



NOZOMI: "Oh don't worry, I always find a way!"


AKI: *Gulp*



NOZOMI: "Come on, I'm not that scary. There's a new café, so let's go get something there after school."


AKI: "Huh?"



NOZOMI: "A new café. It's big and fancy! Your fortune states that you must go there, unless you will fail."


AKI: "A café? Fail? Nozomi, what do you mean? Wait... You just want to go and hang out there, don't you?"



NOZOMI: *Gulp* "N-No! The cosmos is telling me it's your lucky spot!"


AKI: "How convenient..."



UMI: "Nozomi, the midterms are coming up soon. Wouldn't it be better to put that time into studying?"


HONOKA: "What if studying instead of going to the café ends up making him fail the test?!"



UMI: "Fail because you studied?!"



MAKI: "That would never happen. That doesn't make any sense."


NOZOMI: "My fortunes are always right! Shall I read your fortune too, Maki?"



MAKI: "N-No thank you!"


Then again, she isn't wrong about that. I remember when she told me that I would fail my next test.


The next test I had was against Maki in the μ's vs Nijigasaki contest. And... I failed miserably.


I kinda think all this fortune telling stuff isn't real anyway. So what difference will anything make unless I study?



HANAYO: "I think you should follow Nozomi's advice."


RIN: "If you fail, you'll miss more club time from having to take supplementary classes."


AKI: "It I fail, I won't have a club at all."


RIN: "Oh, right."


NICO: "Not only that, but Eli will give you those evil eyes of hers!"


AKI: "I-It's not like a failure is set in stone, though."


Ugh, unless I improve my skills in math and fast, the failure will be inevitable.



ELI: *Ahem* "If you have all this time to think, you should probably be using it to study."


AKI: "Y-Yes ma'am..."



HONOKA: "Everyone has it so tough. Do your best!"


KOTORI: "Umm... Honoka? Don't you think we should be studying too?"


HONOKA: "R-Right! I don't want to be crowned Queen Dunce. What will Yukiho say to me?!"



NOZOMI: "Okay, okay, let me dole out some lucky fortunes so everyone will get a better score on their tests!"


Lucky fortunes? If that stuff exists, I could use some of that right now.



NOZOMI: "And as for my student. Hm hm hmm... The cosmos is telling me that today we should go to the café and tomorrow the private room in the library to study!"


AKI: "Oh, so we can study in the café after all?"


NOZOMI: "Feeling better now? Let's go to the café!"


I feel like Nozomi has me dancing in her palm.


*Sigh* It's for the exams, it's for the results, it's for the club, it's for the girls.


The things I do for what I love.


I just hope the girls are handling this situation okay. I put Ai in charge of practice for today, so I hope they're able to do at least that much.
