This is not the date I wanted.

"Correction. Although what Meng Yue said is true. But this is not what Xi Xian meant by 'quiet'."

"Oh?"

Seeing Xixian shaking her head, Mengyue seemed a little surprised, and then seemed to understand something.

"You mean Yakushi isn't here?"

"That's right. I don't get to see Yakuya's cute face when he's troubled while studying, and I feel a little regretful and lonely."

Xixian smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Oh? You mean I can't accompany you? That's really sad?"

"Answer. Although I like Mengyue, her reaction when teased is too bland. She is not as interesting as Yakushi."

"..."

Mengyue looked at Xixian speechlessly.

"Be patient. Although I really want to go find Yakuya, since Yakuya took the initiative to propose a date with Shidou alone, Yui can't go over and disturb them."

Having said that, Xixian couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Meng Yue didn't say anything. As the person in charge of arranging the groups, she knew the real reason why Yakuya wanted to be in a different group from Yui. In order to prevent Yui from noticing, she deliberately put Shidao and Yakuya in the same group to avoid Yui's misunderstanding.

Of course, even if Yakuya's purpose is really to flirt with Shidou and cultivate feelings, Mengyue will not object.

(Shidou & Yakuya:——Hello!!)

(By the way, since this is a rare opportunity, let’s help Yakuya confirm Yui’s wishes.)

Since Yakuya wants to be admitted to the same university as Yui, as long as he can confirm Yui's goal in advance, Yakuya will have a clearer direction for preparation.

Thinking this in her mind, Meng Yue took a sip of coffee and asked tentatively.

"Speaking of which, Xixian, after we graduate, do you want to go to any university? Or find a job?"

"Answer. Yui will go to whichever university Yakuya wants to go to. The same goes for employment. Yui will work at the same place as Yakuya."

Xixian answered without hesitation.

Okay. Although I guessed this possibility to a certain extent, when I actually heard it, Meng Yue still felt a little overwhelmed.

"You two have such a good relationship."

With a tone that was half praise and half criticism, Meng Yue sighed slowly.

"Affirmative. Yui and Yakuya are of one mind and are closely connected to each other by an indestructible bond."

Xixian replied with a smug look on her face.

"What if Yakushiya has the same idea as you? What will you do?"

Xixian was stunned when he heard Mengyue's question.

"…Thinking. It's true that Yui has not considered this situation. Indeed, given Yakuya's personality, it is very likely that he planned this way."

"Well, it's a bit too early for us to think about this now. We can just think about it slowly."

Without asking any further questions, Mengyue ended the topic briefly when she saw that Xixian was beginning to realize the problem.

As an elf, Mengyue knew that it had only been a few months since Xixian and Yakushi were sealed. It was already a very hard-earned thing for them to be able to enjoy a stable life like ordinary people. It was indeed too early for them to think about the future now.

But as a close friend, Mengyue can't just leave it like that.

Yakuya likes Yui, and Yui also likes Yakuya. They both regard each other as more important than themselves and take good care of each other. In theory, this should be a good thing, but it is not good to have too much of this kind of feeling. If they give up their own thinking in order to respect each other's choice, they will really fall into a dead cycle with no results.

"But I have a suggestion for you. This matter is between you and Yakushiya, so there is no point in getting hung up on it alone. It's best to discuss it with each other and confirm it."

It is enough to just lay a small clue. Mengyue believes that when the time comes, they will definitely be able to find an answer that both parties can accept.

"I agree. It's true that it's not appropriate for Yui to make a judgment on her own. I'll discuss this with Yakuya when I get back."

After thinking for a moment, Xixian nodded and accepted Mengyue's proposal.

"Curious. What about you, Mengyue? Do you have any plans for your future?"

"Eh? I..."

When asked this by Xixian, Mengyue scratched her face, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Guess. Xixian thinks Mengyue is very suitable to be a teacher."

"Me? Teacher? No way!"

Hearing Xixian's hypothesis, Mengyue waved her hand to deny it without hesitation.

Xixian couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.

"I don't understand. I think Meng Yue's teachings are easy to understand, she is patient, good at communicating with people, and knows how to do things in moderation. She will definitely become an excellent teacher."

"Although I'm glad you think so highly of me, I'm sorry to hear that this is just a misunderstanding on your part."

Meng Yue explained with a wry smile,

"Although I can't say I'm extreme, I am also an egoist. Xixian, you are both friends and family, so I naturally don't mind spending more time and patience on you. Even if you make a mistake, I won't care as long as you apologize. But for outsiders, I'm too lazy to put so much energy. No matter what your inner story or difficulties are, it's fine if it's good for me, but if it brings me trouble, I will stay away from you immediately."

"Confused. I think this is normal and has nothing to do with whether you are suitable to be a teacher?"

"Of course it matters. If I become a teacher, I will definitely become an extremist who only trains students with good academic ability for the sake of fame and performance, and leaves those with less ability alone to fend for themselves."

After hearing Mengyue's description, Xixian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"I understand. It's true that Meng Yue's personality isn't suitable for being a teacher... Wait?"

Suddenly, Xixian seemed to notice something and looked at Mengyue speechlessly.

"Confirmed. Could it be that Meng Yue doesn't want to be a teacher and is deliberately saying something alarmist to scare me?"

"Yeah. It hurts, it hurts--"

Meng Yue simply nodded. Xi Xian unceremoniously pinched her face and pulled it away.

"Repeat. Please answer Xixian's questions seriously. Since you have asked Xixian, then I, Xixian, naturally have the right to ask as well, right?"

After hearing Xixian's words, Mengyue hesitated for a moment before answering:

"Ah... Although I have indeed thought about a career similar to game design, I haven't officially started researching it yet. I plan to solve all the problems in front of me before thinking about it seriously."

"Please answer. What are the difficult questions?"

"That's true... The most important thing to deal with right now is this final exam. Not only for me, but also for you, Yakuya, Tohka and the others. It would be best if everyone could avoid winter break cram school... eh?"

Meng Yue smiled and looked out the window, but before she could finish her words, she saw that Tohka, who was supposed to be studying with Origami at this time, was running across the school playground for some reason, heading towards the closed outdoor swimming pool.

Starting, running, pushing off the ground - Tohka relied on her excellent physical ability to jump above the swimming pool, and then she performed three consecutive somersaults, four turns, and a difficult move like a roc spreading its wings, then she shouted an incomprehensible line and jumped into the swimming pool.

Boom! Water splashed in the pool. Fortunately, the club activities were over due to the exams, and there were no students lingering on the playground. No one except Meng Yue and Xi Xian noticed Tohka. Otherwise, if ordinary people saw her, they would definitely be so scared that their jaws would drop to the ground.

"Tohka?"

Before Mengyue understood what was happening, Tohka climbed out of the swimming pool all wet and walked back towards the physics preparation room.

"Confused. What is Tohka doing?"

Xixian asked with a strange look on her face.

“Maybe Origami instilled something strange in me.”

Meng Yue guessed uncertainly. Although this possibility was not impossible, if Origami wanted to get the reward for trading with him, she should have taught Tohka seriously.

"Anyway, contact Lingyin first and ask her to prepare towels, hot water, and a change of sportswear. Otherwise, she'll catch a cold and it won't be good."

Although she didn't want to do anything unnecessary to disturb Tohka and the others, out of concern, she still turned on her phone and sent a text message to Reine.

Then, about five minutes later, Meng Yue saw that Tobiichi Origami ran out of the physics preparation room for some reason, and then ran to the outdoor swimming pool like Tohka just now, and also did three somersaults, four turns, and a high-difficulty move of spreading her wings before falling into the swimming pool.

What the hell just happened?!

Mengyue Exam (Six)

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

Laichan High School teaching building, physics preparation room.

The bell rang as quickly as an alarm clock, signaling the start of the second class in the afternoon. However, it was the weekend and there was no need to go to the classroom for class even if the bell rang. For the students and teachers who stayed in school, it just served as a time signal.

"Huh...rest for ten minutes."

Tobiichi Origami let out a light breath and put down the textbook in her hand.

As soon as Origami finished speaking, Yatogami Tohka fell flat on the table like a puppet with its strings cut short. Origami could even see wisps of green smoke coming out of Tohka's head.

(Overusing your brain?)

Seeing Tohka experiencing a phenomenon similar to the "wisdom fever" that only babies have, Origami couldn't help but think secretly.

By the way, Origami Tobiichi's state at this time is somewhat different from her previous state. Because the personalities and memories of the two world lines are mixed together, Origami's personality changes with some specific conditions.

When she is next to Gokawa Shidao or comes into contact with information related to him, all kinds of unspeakable desires will erupt like a volcano, causing Origami to ignore many important common sense that cannot be ignored and do many unscrupulous and ** behaviors, commonly known as the "Shido Mode".

On the contrary, when the above conditions are not met, Origami Tobiichi's rationality and sense of shame will prevail, and her actions will be restrained and appear much more sensible, which is the so-called "excellent student mode".

And now, Origami Tobiichi's mental state is more inclined towards the latter.

"Tohka, would you like some water?"

"Ah...thank you..."

Completely lacking her usual energy and vitality, Tohka thanked Origami weakly and took the mineral water that Origami handed to her.

"Gululugululu——ha, alive again."

After drinking nearly 1L of mineral water in one gulp, Tohka let out a breath and looked much better.

"Ha... I'm so exhausted. It feels more exhausting than fighting those robot girls all day. Can everyone do something like 'learning' so easily? That's amazing."

Origami couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard Tohka's sigh. She naturally understood that the "Mecha Girls" Tohka was referring to the magician unit of AST, to which she had belonged before. Although she knew that the other party had no ill intentions, but when she heard Tohka say that the consumption caused by fighting with AST was not as serious as a one-hour pre-exam review, as a retired former AST magician, Origami Tobiichi still felt a little complicated.

Of course, now she wouldn't pick a fight with Tohka over this matter.

"Well... I think everyone will find it hard to study at the beginning. As long as you work hard and persevere, and see that your efforts are rewarded, you will experience the fun of it, and then you will find that learning will gradually become interesting."

“Ohh! I see!”

Tohka couldn't help but nodded in realization, with admiration in her eyes.

"So, as long as I study hard, can I get the 'passing score' that Teacher Xiaozhu said in the final exam?"

"This one……"

Tobiichi Origami looked away guiltily.

As long as you work hard, you will succeed. Although I really want to tell Tohka this, unfortunately, according to the current situation, no matter how hard Yatogami Tohka studies, she will not be able to get a passing score.

The reason is not just the learning ability, but also the serious gap in knowledge.

Her accuracy in arithmetic drops significantly after she can do more than addition and subtraction with two hands. She hasn't even memorized all 26 letters of the English alphabet, let alone grammar. She can barely read Chinese, but she becomes slurred when encountering complex Chinese characters. Even when she is asked to write a sentence composed entirely of hiragana, one-third of the characters will be wrong. In science, she knows nothing about chemical reactions, photosynthesis, or gravitational acceleration. In terms of history, when Origami asked what King Arthur's name was, Tohka's question "What is that? Is it delicious?" made Origami fall into a long silence.

It is not a question of whether it is possible or not. It is simply too much to ask someone with only elementary school knowledge to understand high school knowledge.

"Well... unfortunately... with Tohka's progress, it may be difficult for her to pass..."

"what?!"

Although Origami thought she had said it very tactfully, Tohka was still stunned as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

"What did I do wrong?"

"Where... let me think about this..."

Origami held her forehead in distress.

If Shixiang was confused about a question, Origami could just correct it or explain the correct answer. But the problem was that Shixiang couldn't even understand why the answer was valid, and she didn't even know the purpose of each symbol, so Origami didn't know where to start.

"Maybe... it's because I don't have enough time to review. After all, I have to prepare for the exam next Wednesday. It's impossible to learn all the knowledge in all subjects in such a short time."

No matter how hard I try, it will take at least two or three months, Origami added quietly in her heart.

"Hmm - I see. In short, your efforts are not enough."

However, after hearing Origami's explanation, Tohka heaved a sigh of relief.

"Well, I'm not very smart to begin with, so I'll have to spend more time than everyone else to pass the exam. I'm mentally prepared for this."

"I see... Well, let me think of a solution..."
