I was relieved to hear about Pearls' school.

Both the lichens and the pearls are working hard on each other's paths. Though I don't think I'll work hard either......

"You have to start studying for exams or something."

"Hirose wouldn't be able to..."

"Because I haven't been able to go to school, it's hard to figure out which way I'm going right now with my notebook..."

I don't have any teacher commentary either.

I go on reading textbooks and reading them myself. I was no longer close to learning on my own. Thanks to you, my textbooks are a little messy, and they're so dirty with color pens.

I don't know where I'm going, so I'm moving on...

"Do you want to do a simple test here and now?

"Is that okay?

"I think it would be difficult if I hadn't learned because I'm doing it right now... Hirose would be able to do it"

"I'll do it, I'll do it"

The teacher takes the paper out of the bag.

It was test paper. Solve it in front of the teacher. Oh, I did this. It's the one I remember struggling so hard but desperate.

I'm even going to solve it. Phew... don't teach yourself.

And I'll be done solving it in no time.

"... how can you solve it?"

"... hey, it's the range I did myself"

"You don't need this teacher anymore... 96 points"

Come on... I can't help it because there was a guy who didn't know how many questions to ask.

But even if you study yourself, you can take about that. This is a good opportunity to build your strengths. Testing is.

He thinks it's a test to figure out how much he's capable of.

"I really doubt why I can... Hirose doesn't have to worry about taking the exam. You'll only have to worry about getting hurt."

"Was the exam in October? I think it will heal."

"I have another five months, so I'll be fine."

I'm sure he'll be cured by then. Probably.

"Hirose. Good luck with that."

"I know. I'll do my best."

"... Hirose seems like you can do anything you want"

"No, no, you can't do anything, can you?

I don't want to make an effort about a profession that I never want to follow in the future, and I don't want to do it.

Basically, I try what I have to do, but not what I don't have to do. I'll do my best with the least I can do.

That's what makes me tired if I work hard on it all.

"It's the least I can do. Because I don't want to make an effort to be meaningless."

"It doesn't have to make sense now, but it's going to make sense later. Now keep up the good work."

"Is that so?"

"... but I don't really need most of it."

"Yep..."

"But well, you don't need to make sense to work hard. Whatever the outcome, you can only be proud of the result of your hard work."

"So if you're a regular teacher, don't you think you'll be rewarded if you work hard?

"It wouldn't be that sweet in the world, would it? Teachers show reality."

"Wow..."

The teacher gets up.

"The teacher is going home now. I'm coming to see you again. Bye."

"Ah, yes. Thank you."

The teacher left.
