This is a lie!
Ryuji has never been a person who abides by agreements 100%.
Rules are always adapted to the strong and will not bind the strong.
Ryuji was the type of person who would stick to any agreements he wanted to keep.
"But didn't you say that we can skip one or two subjects at most now!" Nino asked loudly.
She overreacted so much that she didn't even notice.
There are a total of six subjects in the midterms, and half of the subjects require three passes.
"That has lowered the requirements. Your dad wants you all to graduate." Ryuji rolled his eyes at Nino.
"So let me talk to Dad!" Nino insists on calling her father.
Ichika patted Nino's shoulder lightly, and shook her head.
"You also know that father's decision is not easy to change."
The father of the quintuplets is a successful career man... Frankly speaking, he's a bit selfish.
Even though it was very good for Ichika and the others, in some ways, he wouldn't give up because of his daughter.
"I will pass the test!" Miku was the first to express her opinion.
"How to test it?" Ryuji frowned.
"Study hard!" Miku said firmly.
"How can that be useful!"
"If you don't work hard, you don't stand a chance!"
"Stop arguing, all of you!" Ichika spoke.
"Listen to what Hyakki-kun has to say first."
Bringing the topic back to Ryuji, he spread his arms.
"What else can I do, study hard."
This could also be considered a test for Ryuji, wanting to know where his limits were.
He will not remain tutor and is expected to step down at the end of this term. He hoped that the quintuplets could avoid the unable-to-pass situation at that time.
"Right, I can only study. Even if I am stupid, I will work hard!" Yotsuba patted her cheek.
"It's nice to have a fighting spirit, but don't underestimate yourself. Everyone has their own specialty," Ryuji said.
"I always feel that Hyakki-san is saying very profound things." Yotsuba nodded seriously.
Itsuki took out the textbook, "Anyway, let's start studying now, and show father all the passing grades!"
"...Sorry, this is impossible." Ryuji couldn't help but explode.
"Hey, shouldn't you be encouraging me at this time!" Itsuki was crying.
Yotsuba realized that it was like discovering a new world.
"Why was Nino so excited just now? She should be the happiest if Hyakki-san wants to be fired."
"Of course."
"It seems so."
Nino blushed and glared at Yotsuba aggressively.
Why is she so sharp at this time!
"I..."
Nino couldn't say it, because she was avoiding the answer in her heart.
From the beginning didn't like him, he became a little fun.
This man seemed to have a strange magic power, the longer he stayed, the deeper his liking became.
By the time she realized it, it had already changed...
Ichika sees Nino's embarrassment, and smiles to help her.
"Okay, okay, don't we still have to study, time is really tight now."
Only Yotsuba would be fooled by such a blunt change of topic.
But Itsuki and Miku didn't continue, and sat quietly to study.
There's still about a week left before the half term, and the quintuplets are starting their final sprint.
Seeing the hardworking quintuplets, Ryuji was slightly relieved.
Among them, Nino was the most serious, which was surprising.
"Hey, what words are you talking about?" Nino asked casually.
"Discuss."
"What to fill in here?"
"Think about it yourself."
"That's because I don't know how to ask you!"
This reason... There's no denying it.
"Show me." Ryuji came to Nino's side and bent down to read the question.
"Ummm..."
The distance between the two suddenly shortened, and when Nino realized it, Ryuji was already in front of her.
Such a distance created a gentle atmosphere, and Nino's face grew even redder.
"This is a verb as a subject, use the present participle form."
Ryuji explained to Nino, but unfortunately the other party couldn't hear a word now.
"Ah, Nino's face is so red!"
Yotsuba spoke again.
"Real!"
"What's wrong, are you uncomfortable?"
"No no, I'm fine, just a little hot!" Nino kept fanning her face, but it didn't work.
The plot in this light novel leaves Ryuji speechless, and distances himself from Nino.
"If you encounter a problem that you don't understand, you should think more. If you ask if you don't understand, you may still suffer here next time." Ryuji said.
"Hmph!" Tsundere Nino remains the same as before.
