Doing homework?
Haruto thought about it and realized he hadn't done it. Although he didn't dare say anything if he didn't write a letter to the study committee, doing so would save him from a lot of trouble.
So, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Seeing him agree, Miharu suddenly became happy.
From this perspective, Haruto wasn't in despair; at least he could still work on his homework.
As a model student from childhood to adulthood, Miharu could be considered quite confident in this aspect.
So, just explaining things to him when he didn't understand, he would know what it means to be a senior, and then he would appreciate himself, right?
Thinking about this, Miharu felt excited.
"Kuromori-kun, let me teach you."
Seeing Miharu looking so happy and eager, Haruto felt a bit confused.
But he didn't refuse. After all, Miharu was also an accomplished student. With her explanations, some problems could be answered more intuitively.
Haruto thought for a moment and decided to write a short English composition first.
For him, English was the easiest subject because as long as he understood the basic structure of English and had a strong memory to remember the words, it was very simple.
Before his superpowers returned, English was his best subject.
Haruto took a pencil and began to write casually.
"No!"
Suddenly, Miharu's voice rang in his ears. Haruto stopped writing, stared at her, then looked at what he had written, and asked humbly, "Miharu, is there a wrong word?"
Miharu shook her head, pointed at a word, and said with a serious face: "Kuromori-kun, you can't do this, erase it and rewrite it!"
"When writing English words, you must standardize. Look at your letter 'g', the tail has gone out of the grid."
Haruto glanced at her and said without much thought: "As long as it can be clearly identified, right?"
"Kuromori-kun, you're just being careless!" Miharu said seriously: "You can't do anything carelessly; otherwise, it will become a habit later, and it will be difficult to change if you want to. It's like being human…."
Just writing an English word, why does it involve life!
Haruto put on a serious face: "What else?"
Miharu turned away with a guilty feeling, "For now, it's already gone."
After a moment, she couldn't help but say: "Kuromori-kun, your writing is too careless; it won't work."
"I can see it clearly, so it's fine."
"Not enough."
"Hm?"
Miharu wanted to say something, but when she saw him staring at her unfriendly, she turned away sadly.
After a while, she couldn't hold back any longer.
As someone who pursued perfection, if she saw a flaw and didn't correct it, it felt like ants crawling all over her body.
Looking at Haruto, Miharu felt guilty for a moment, but quickly calmed down, turned to the side, and pointed at a word in English: "You're wrong again, look here, and here, and here…"
*BAM*
Miharu lightly tapped the table and said unconfidently: "Because there are too many, I ask Kuromori-kun to write it again."
Haruto firmly refused: "I don't want to rewrite; I'm almost done writing."
"No way!"
Although she felt scared, as soon as she thought of her older sister coming soon, Miharu felt confident.
She sat beside him and said: "Kuromori-kun, this letter is not written in a standard way. It is unacceptable."
"Also, this grammar can be used in daily life, but when writing, Kuromori-kun must write in a formal format."
"Besides—"
"Miharu."
"Eh?"
Haruto put down his pencil, turned to Miharu, and said, "You can't do this."
He had finally figured it out.
This sister-in-law was too serious and meticulous in doing things, pursuing perfection in everything, and was a typical perfectionist.
The biggest characteristic of a perfectionist is the pursuit of perfection.
And this desire for perfection leads to dissatisfaction with everything.
You must understand that humans themselves are not perfect and will always have various shortcomings, and life cannot be perfect and will always have various flaws.
Currently, perfectionists inevitably pursue perfection. However, the end result is that they expend countless energies and enjoy it endlessly, yet the results are not ideal, and often they end up giving up halfway.
As time goes on, under the ambivalence between pursuing perfection and being unable to be perfect, the results can be imagined.
Therefore, it is indeed very troublesome to associate with perfectionists who are dissatisfied with everything.
If Miharu does not correct herself, her future life may not be very good. Broken love, failed marriages, etc. All of it is very normal.
"A-what didn't work?"
Miharu leaned slightly and looked at him with a guilty feeling.
Haruto thought for a moment and said: "Miharu should be very serious about everything you do, right?"
"Hmm~"
Miharu's face turned slightly red, and she gently touched the tip of her fingers with her hand, "Actually, it's not that great~"
Haruto's eyes looked disgusted: "But being serious is good, but if you take it too seriously, it's not good, Miharu."
Miharu stared at him with wide eyes.
Haruto continued: "Actually, Miharu is right. Being serious and meticulous is good, and pursuing perfection is correct, but you must understand the scale. For example, in my tasks, even if there are some problems, it is not a problem at all."
Miharu tilted her head slightly and said hesitantly: "But we can definitely do better, why not do it?"
Haruto thought for a moment and said: "For example, Miharu and Kirisu-sensei are both sweet, but I think if Miharu and Kirisu-sensei wear cute maid outfits, they would be even sweeter, right?"
He said seriously: "Because you can make yourself sweeter, do you think Kirisu-sensei should wear it or not?"
