This is not the date I wanted.

After answering with a feeling of being flattered, Yoshino heaved a sigh of relief and a bright and innocent smile appeared on her face.

(Ah… no matter how many times I see her, I still feel like she’s an angel…)

Nanashi looked at Yoshino with a touched expression.

To be honest, if she wasn't worried about causing trouble to Yoshino, she would have wanted to give her own pocket money to express her gratitude.

"Ah~ Nanashi-chan, you haven't finished writing yet? Did you get lazy in the middle of writing? Like Mr. Rabbit in the tortoise and the hare race?"

"How, how is it possible——"

Seeing that Shionai was staring at her exercise book, Nanashi hurriedly lay down on the table, blocking the exercise book with her body, and answered awkwardly.

"I just had a little problem. I'll be done with it soon."

"Is that so... Come on... Nanashi-san..."

"Well...I'll try my best."

Nanashi laughed dryly and nodded.

(Haha… I’m really bad.)

Looking at Yoshino who was enjoying studying the whole time, and then looking at herself who was always trying to do things perfunctorily, Nanashi felt an inexplicable complex sense of guilt.

After quickly finishing the last question, Nanashi handed her exercise book to Kotori.

"Hmph... Nanashi, you can do whatever you want, right? You got all the answers right."

After reading Nana Sin's answer, Kotori raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Wow - you're quite good at this, Nanashi-chan, you really can't be underestimated!

"Miss Nanashi... so amazing..."

"Yes, yes..."

Feeling the admiring looks from Yoshino and Yoshina, Nanashi scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly.

"Well, I know how to solve middle school level problems. You'll soon surpass me once you get used to it, Yoshino."

"Hey……"

"What, what's wrong?"

After noticing Kotori's meaningful look, Nanashi asked a little uncomfortably.

"Ah, let me first say sorry. In fact, when I first saw you being pulled out by Sister Mengyue with such reluctance, I thought you would definitely find an excuse like a stomachache to leave early."

"Well--"

Qizain was suddenly speechless.

Indeed, she had no intention of going out, and had no interest in staying in a hell like school. What Kotori said was indeed her initial plan.

However, Mengyue seemed to have seen through her thoughts long ago and deliberately arranged her and Shion in the same group.

[It’s great to be able to study with Miss Nanashi...]

Being stared at by Yoshino with such pure eyes and hearing such a foul word, Nana Sin had no way out.

"Well... even if I go back, I'll be really bored staying at home alone."

Thinking of this, Qi Zui sighed resignedly, looked at the draft paper on the table that was filled with his own words, and his fingers unconsciously began to twirl the pen.

Moreover, after staying in the Elf Apartment for a long time, Seven Sins has been living a life of having everything provided for him, eating whatever he wants and playing whenever he wants. It was comfortable at first, but after a long time, he had a vague feeling of discomfort, as if he was floating in outer space and didn't know what to do.

It has to be said that although the learning process is very boring, it gives her a sense of security that her feet are on solid ground.

"Hmm... Miss Nanashi... has changed..."

Yoshino said with a smile.

"Eh? Change? Me?"

After hearing what Yoshino said, Nanashi couldn't help but point at herself in surprise.

"Yeah. That's exactly right." The rabbit doll Yoshina nodded exaggeratedly and said, "In the past, Nanashi-chan would often become very depressed when talking, but recently she has been able to talk to everyone naturally."

"And I feel...more energetic..."

"Y-really?"

As if he didn't have this sense of reality, Nanashi scratched his hair in annoyance.

But it is true that during the time she spent with everyone here, although she still occasionally thought of everyone's words in a negative direction, it was not as frequent as before. After all, in the common life, she gradually realized that everyone was not the bad person she imagined.

Is this considered a change? Qishi lowered his head in thought, a little confused.

"Well... maybe... maybe... I may have changed a little bit."

"You're amazing... Miss Nanashi..."

Yoshino said with a bit of envy.

"No, I'm not that great at all."

"But... I also want to become... more confident..."

After hearing what Yoshino said, Kotori thought for a moment and tried to make a proposal.

"That's true. Yoshino's mood has become much more stable recently. It wouldn't be a bad idea for her to try to get in touch with the outside world a little bit. Do you want to try to come to our school to experience enrollment?"

“Is it really possible…?”

Shion asked with a bit of surprise.

"Of course, let's just treat it as an attempt. Although there is a risk of spiritual power backflow, if Yoshino makes the decision, we will try our best to fulfill your request."

"Well...I see."

After a while of thinking and hesitation, Shion finally nodded firmly.

Seeing Shion's decision, Shion touched her head with satisfaction and encouraged her, as if she were a mother who had seen her daughter grow up.

"Well said, Yoshino-chan! Now that you've made the decision, do it well!"

"Uh-huh."

"So--"

After receiving a positive answer from Yoshino, Kotori turned her attention to the Seven Sins.

"Would you like to come along?"

"Absolutely not!"

Nanashi refused with a grim face.

"The so-called school is the so-called purgatory battlefield. Young children are locked up together and forced to stay, forming gangs and fighting each other. Those who can't fit in will be excluded, and those who don't fit in will be isolated. Yoshino is an angel that everyone loves, and it's okay with you, Kotori, accompanying you. But for a social outcast like me, it will only be a tragedy there. The best case scenario is that I will become part of the background and eat alone in the toilet. Otherwise, to be honest, encountering garbage in the shoe box, thumbtacks scattered on the seats, and dirty words written on the table with oil pen is considered a mild case..."

As he spoke, Nanashi felt himself covered in cold sweat. He clenched his fists and spoke tremblingly.

"Besides, I'll accept compulsory activities like study sessions once or twice. But in this age of Internet development, teaching can be done at home by oneself. There's no need to be confined to that kind of soul prison! Loneliness! Real loneliness is in my hands! Even if I really work in the future! I will definitely choose a career that allows me to stay at home as much as possible and avoid communicating with others!"

"Even if you declare yourself to be a NEET student so openly... well, you have to wait until next semester to experience enrollment. If you change your mind, just tell me."

Kotori looked at Nanashi speechlessly. In response, Nanashi made a firm statement.

"No! It's impossible for me to go to school! Absolutely impossible!"

Mengyue Exam (V)

==============================

Turning our attention to the library of Raizen High School, Ryougi Mengyue and Yabui Yuzuru were sitting in the window seats of the library, having a conversation.

"Question. What is the political system implemented in Japan?"

"Constitutional monarchy."

"Correct. Then the next question is, who was the first emperor of Japan?"

"Emperor Jimmu."

"Correct. Question 3: In which year was the Kamakura Shogunate established?"

"This one……"

Hearing this question, Meng Yue frowned a little puzzled, hesitated for a moment and then answered.

"1192."

"Wrong. The answer is 1185."

Xixian shook her head with great regret.

"Eh? No way?"

Meng Yue widened her eyes in surprise and quickly opened the textbook to check the answers. She couldn't help but tap her forehead with her ballpoint pen in frustration.

"Ah...it's actually true. 1192 is the year when Minamoto no Yori became the Shogun...this is too confusing!!"

Of course, even if she complained about this kind of thing, this question would never appear on the test paper. Mengyue could only take out her notebook and make notes and annotations on the mistakes.

"Surprising. I didn't expect Meng Yue to be not good at social studies."

Putting down the "Japanese History" textbook in his hand, Yuxian said with some surprise.

In Japanese high schools, students mainly study five subjects: mathematics, Chinese, science, English, and social studies. Japanese history is grouped together with politics and geography into sociology.

"Well, there's nothing strange about this. Everyone has things they're not good at."

Meng Yue said with a wry smile.

The contents of English, science, and mathematics were similar to what she had learned in her previous life. Although there were some forgotten parts, they were things she had learned after all, so she mastered them immediately after re-reading them. As for Chinese, Meng Yue had at least studied Japanese on her own in order to travel abroad, so her grades were not great, but still ranked in the middle.

The only subject that included social studies was the geography, politics, and history of Japan. Guan Meng, who was a Chinese in her previous life, now had to start from scratch. The Japanese history that was tested was Meng Yue's worst subject.

To be honest, except for the characters that often appear in anime like "Oda Nobunaga", "Toyonari Hideyoshi" and "Tokugawa Ieyasu", the entire Japanese history is as obscure and difficult to understand as reading a book written in heaven.

Of course, Mengyue also worked hard to study, but her test scores were only six or seven points higher than the passing line each time, which was very dangerous.

Xixian also tried to use homophones and songs to help Mengyue remember historical events and era names, but after listening, Mengyue became even more confused. In desperation, Mengyue could only use the stupid method of rote memorization to mark out the knowledge points that she was not familiar with.

"Ah—that's about it."

After spending almost an hour, Mengyue finally finished learning all the knowledge points covered in the exam. She leaned back in her chair and stretched.

"Xixian, how are you doing here? If there's anything you don't understand about science, I can explain it to you."

In response, Xixian shook her head.

"Wu Wen. Meng Yue, your answer is very concise and easy to understand. Xi Xian has learned a lot and it looks like she can get a good score in the final exam."

"Really? I'm a little tired of reciting, how about taking a break?"

As she spoke, Mengyue took out two cans of hot coffee from her schoolbag and shook them in front of Xixian.

"Want to drink?"

"Thank you. Then Xixian will accept it without hesitation."

Xixian put down her pen, took the coffee, opened it and took a sip, then her facial expression gradually softened.

“Delicious. Very gentle, calming flavor.”

"It's just an ordinary can of canned coffee, there's no need to be so serious about your feelings." Meng Yue complained, shrugged with a smile, "Well, if you say it's not bitter, it's true. After all, I don't like bitter coffee."

As she spoke, Mengyue also opened her own coffee and quietly enjoyed this break.

"Sigh. It's so quiet."

After a moment, Xixian looked around and spoke softly.

"Well, after all, the library prohibits making noise, so it's naturally very quiet."

Meng Yue answered as a matter of course.

At this time, there were only a few people sitting at the desk besides Meng Yue and Xi Xian. Some were reading quietly, while others were reviewing for the exam next week like them. Even if there was a conversation, everyone could keep their voices down to avoid disturbing others.

To be honest, if you ask where is the best place to study, it is undoubtedly the library. It has a large space and is quiet. And putting aside these environmental factors, just having the awareness that "you are in the library" can help people get into the learning state better.

However, considering that Tohka, Yakuya and the others are the type who tend to ignore the noise around them, the only ones who came here were Mengyue herself and the more calm Yui.
