Kiyomi Liuli was delighted to receive Nanahara Takeshi's "dog-head approval," as every effort needs acknowledgment, and for her, nothing was more satisfying than the recognition from Nanahara Takeshi.
For some reason, she now particularly hoped that Nanahara Takeshi would praise her, as for others... it was of course nice if they did, but it didn't matter if they didn't. She didn't care as much as she used to.
For the moment, her enthusiasm was even stronger. Even though she had fulfilled her mom's demands and would no longer be sent to cram school to serve time, she continued her own studies, aiming to score second from the bottom next time.
"Liuli, you've really changed!"
