This is not the date I wanted.

“——I was scared to death!”

"Kuku - it was a false alarm. It's really embarrassing for my possessions to be thrown into disarray over such a small matter."

"Sneer. This is what they call scaring yourself."

"Ha - speechless."

In response to Yakuya and Yui's malicious remarks, Shidou replied with a wry smile.

"Okay, Tohka has passed. You should also pay attention to your own grades. If you fail, you will be really embarrassed to see people."

Meng Yue said with a smile.

"Yeah, that's true."

After calming down, Shidou nodded and once again looked at the notice on the wall. Soon, he found his name in the middle.

(72nd, not bad.)

Shidou breathed a sigh of relief with satisfaction.

In the last grade test, Shidao ranked 97th, just at the bottom. Maybe because he had studied hard, his ranking improved a lot. Considering that there are only about 180 people in the second grade, it is a good result.

How were the other people's results? With some curiosity, Shidou began to look for the other people's names.

(Yakuya is ranked 81st? I remember she was only around 110th last time. Yui... went from 60th to 49th, she's surprisingly good at studying. Mengyue seemed to be in the 40th place last time, this time... eh?)

Looking forward in the rankings, Shidao was surprised that he did not see Mengyue's name.

"Mengyue, how much did you get in the exam this time? Why don't I see your name?"

"what……"

Hearing Shidou's question, Mengyue scratched her face in embarrassment.

"If you want to find me, it will be faster if you count from the back."

“From behind…!?”

He started counting again according to Mengyue's method, and soon found Mengyue's name.

Liangyi Mengyue, ranked 94th in her grade.

And that’s not all. Following Mengyue’s name, Shidao actually found another familiar name.

A name that should have been number one in the grade.

Tobiichi Origami, ranked 90th in her grade.

Shidao was a little bit unbelievable for a moment, but the next moment, he felt that he understood the reason.

(The passing score is half of the average score for the entire year. If you want to help Tohka without cheating... then lower the total score...)

"Mengyue, shouldn't you..."

"Haha... I accidentally got the order of answering some questions wrong. How embarrassing."

Before Shidou could speak, Meng Yue spoke with a depressed look on her face.

Shidao immediately shut up. It was obvious that Meng Yue didn't want anyone to know her real purpose, so he could only remain silent.

but--

"My compatriots! You actually acted alone without telling me again! If you want to help your family, just tell me and I will definitely help!!"

"Indignant. Xi Xian will not forgive you so easily this time!"

As if seeing through Mengyue's intention, the Yami sisters glared at Mengyue angrily.

"Eh? What are you talking about - it hurts, it hurts! I was wrong! It's my fault! I apologize! QAQ"

Just like that, with Yui and Yakuya pinching her face on both sides, Mengyue had no choice but to confess everything honestly.

——————————————I am the dividing line that diverts attention————————————

"what……"

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, Tobiichi Origami sighed depressedly.

"Hmm? What's wrong Origami?"

Sitting not far from her seat, Tohka asked with a curious look on her face.

"Well... I'm just a little depressed. I felt that the teacher called me to give a lecture this afternoon. I didn't do very well in the test this time."

Origami replied with a wry smile. After the entire test, looking at the questions on the test paper that he could almost recite by heart, Origami felt a strong sense of guilt, so he filled in half of the questions and handed in the paper.

(Forget it... Anyway, if the average score drops, Tohka's chances of passing will be higher.)

Origami comforted herself in her heart.

"I'm sorry... because you're tutoring me, you don't have time to study on your own."

Realizing that she was the reason for Origami's declining grades, Tohka lowered her head in shame.

Origami quickly waved her hands and explained.

"It's okay, it's okay. I don't have to get first place anyway. Although my grades have dropped a bit, I will definitely pass. So Tohka, don't mind."

"That's it, that's good."

Hearing that Origami would not have to take a make-up exam because of her, Tohka breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Tohka, how was your exam? Do you think you can pass it?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure, but it should be okay." Tohka touched her neck in confusion and said uncertainly, "But I was too sleepy during the last exam... I think I filled it out in a daze... but I don't remember much..."

"Ah, science. There's really nothing I can do about it. After all, I haven't slept for six days."

Origami sighed helplessly. Maybe if Tohka had had a good rest before the exam, this situation wouldn't have happened.

Looking at Tohka who was fidgeting, Origami could only pray silently in her heart that Tohka would be able to pass the exam safely.

"But there's no point in saying this now, just wait patiently for the results to be announced."

"All right……"

"Tohka!"

At this moment, Shidou suddenly returned to the classroom. Seeing Shidou calling her, Tohka immediately stood up from her seat, ran to Shidou, and looked at him nervously.

"Shidou! How was it? Did I pass the test? Do I need to come to school for tutoring later?"

"Well, you passed! You really worked hard, Tohka!"

Seeing Shidou nod, Tohka couldn't help but open her arms and cheer.

"Great! I passed!"

"Congratulations, Tohka."

Upon hearing that Tohka had passed, Origami felt relieved and congratulated Tohka.

"Yeah! Thank you Origami! Thanks for your help!"

Nodding happily, Tohka hugged Origami and said gratefully.

"You're welcome. You worked really hard, Tohka."

"Hmm!"

(Has their relationship become so good without them noticing?)

Shidou was a little surprised when he saw Origami and Tohka. He and Mengyue had arranged the two of them together in the hope that they could repair their relationship, and this was considered to have achieved their goal.

"Alright! The exam is finally over, let's relax tonight! Tohka, just tell me what you want to eat tonight, I'll make it for you!"

"Really? Then can I eat barbecue?"

Hearing this, Tohka's eyes instantly became bright.

"No problem! This is the reward for Tohka's hard work. I will give it my all, so please look forward to it!"

Shidou patted Tohka's head gently and said proudly.

"Hmm!"

Tohka smiled happily.

(————————!)

Watching the intimate interaction between Shidou and Tohka, Origami suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart for some reason.

(Again?!)

Guessing what was going to happen next, Origami quickly grabbed his restless right hand and muttered to himself.

(Stop, stop, stop... It's rare that Tohka is so happy... Let's forget about it this time... It's not impossible to be patient once in a while, right...)

(...)

In a silent silence, the other self in Origami's mind replied.

(Innocent.)

"Yatogami Tohka."

"Well?"

When Tohka heard Origami calling her name, she turned her head in confusion.

Looking calmly into Tohka's eyes, Origami said without changing her expression.

"Have you forgotten? If you pass the exam, there is one thing you must do?"

"Something that must be done..." Tohka frowned in confusion at first, then she clapped her hands in sudden realization, "Oh, right! I almost forgot. Shidou?"

"?"

As Shidou stared in bewilderment, Tohka first performed more than thirty vertical jumps in front of him, then circled around Shidou three times to the left, three times to the right, and then did a backflip and landed steadily.

"——Ooooh! Yatogami-san is amazing!"

Although they didn't understand the situation, it didn't stop the classmates from applauding and cheering for Tohka.

"Hmm! There's only one step left."

After completing this set of actions, Tohka nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave the class.

"Wait! What are you going to do, Tohka?"

Vaguely sensing something was wrong, Meng Yue hurriedly stopped Shixiang and asked.

"A ritual to maintain intelligence. Origami said that after the exam, you must jump vertically thirty times in front of Shidou, then circle around him three times clockwise and counterclockwise, then do a backflip, and finally jump into the outdoor swimming pool and shout 'I'm not an idiot anymore! Thank you for your help, God!' Otherwise, you will return to your original state."

"..."

Silently forgetting to fold the paper, Meng Yue sighed and explained earnestly.

"Tohka... I can tell you responsibly that the spell Origami taught you was just a joke."

"What—" Tohka first widened her eyes in surprise, then looked at Origami with anger, "You actually lied to me! Tobiichi Origami!"

"Humph, you actually believed such a lie, which shows that you are still a fool. Yatogami Tohka."

Origami glanced at Tohka and replied calmly before unbuttoning Shidou's tie and school uniform, exposing his chest and belly button.

"Eh?!! What are you doing, Origami?"

It was a little late for Shidou to realize that Origami had undressed him, and he hurriedly covered his chest with his hands.

"According to the agreed payment, I will accept a set of Shidou's underwear first."

Origami explained to Shidou calmly without stopping her hands and pulled the belt off Shidou's pants in the blink of an eye.

Origami's breath gradually became hotter as she licked her lips.

"No problem Shidou, I'll handle it gently."

“It’s full of problems from beginning to end!”

"Get away from Shidou! Tobiichi Origami!"

"Don't keep getting in my way! Yatogami Tohka!"

(Hmm… does this mean the relationship has improved?)

Looking at Class 4, Grade 2, which was in the same mess as always, Meng Yue couldn't help but tilt her head and fell into deep thought.
