"Is that why you called me here so early..."

I looked at the two test papers in front of me speechlessly: one was a 3-point English monthly test paper with Yamada Ryo's name on it, and the other was a zero-duck egg English monthly test paper with Goto Ichiri's name on it.

"Please Kawakami-san, you are their only hope!"

Facing Kita-san who bowed at 90°, I wanted to say whether the two of them were idiots, but I could only hold back:

"...How should I put it? It's an amazing person to be able to get all the multiple-choice questions wrong... Forget it, don't I remember that Shimokitazawa High School has a much more difficult exam than Shuka High School? How about Yamada-senpai?

Did you pass the exam?"

Hongxia shook the head of Yamada-senpai who made a "Gulu~Crack~" sound:

"Although she looks stupid now, she was working hard before the exam."

"I can't accept this explanation?!"

Kita-san looked at the demented Yamada-san with eyes as if he had seen a ghost. Hongxia continued to stab Kita-san in the heart:

"Well, she's the type who crams for a moment. She'll forget everything she learned before if it's no longer necessary...

On the other hand, this time I forgot all about music.”

"How do you do the striking of a string...?"

"How did you survive to this day?!"

"Hongxia, can you lend me Yamada-senpai for a few days to study? I'm very interested in this kind of brain!"

"Ugh...Kawakami-kun, please stop ruining Ryo-senpai's image in my heart!"

Hongxia turned her expectant eyes to Senior Xingge who was sitting and paddling aside:

"I have something to do for a while... Sister, can you come and help me? Can you teach Ryo?"

"ha?"

"...What is this, do you understand?"

Senior Xing Ge, who took the cold paper, stared at the paper with question marks on his face, then turned to ask the sound engineer lady beside him.

"I dropped out of high school within a few days and couldn't understand at all..."

“Hey—sister, didn’t you go to college?!”

"As long as you don't choose things like college, even an idiot can get in."

"Fortunately, Xiao Hongxia's brain is not as stupid as the senior's."

I don’t know when I appeared next to Xingge-senpai

Kikuri-senpai squinted his eyes and complained silently.

"...Get out of the front door!"

…

"Uh...uh——!"

The three seniors have been meditating around Liang's paper for almost half an hour, but they haven't even touched a pen...

"Although it's a bit of hindsight, why can you be so calm about drinking in other people's houses?"

Hongxia looked at Kikuri-senpai who was drinking a lot of Japanese sake from a box with dead eyes. The latter slowly showed a silly smile, drunkenly held up the wine and said:

"Hehe... After all, if you drink outside, you will be called to the police. Isn't it okay as long as you cheat? It's just a midterm exam after all! If necessary, you can threaten the teacher and steal the answers, right?"

"This person is the worst!!"

"You really don't understand. Only when you are not bound by social conventions can you call it rock and roll, right?"

Juli-senpai, who was sitting on the ground and mumbling something, put on a look like "You guys are so ignorant, go back and teach me about the history of rock and roll." Seunge-senpai and the sound engineer on the side also nodded incessantly:

"...Yes, that's rock and roll. Hong Xia, you're still too young."

"It's rock and roll..."

"You guys can't teach me, so why don't you start to shirk it... Speaking of which, didn't Ryo say that he has been learning English every day! Why is it only 3 points?!"

"I don't know... I study eight hours a day... (sobbing quietly)"

"Hug, sorry..."

"...I fall asleep listening to English songs every day?"

"You'd better repeat the grade!"

...It would be better to say that it might be a little worse here in Yili.

I turned my head and looked at Kita-san who was holding a paper with a ruined expression on his face:

"Evidently I wrote every question carefully, but not one of them was written correctly!!"

This is the greatest sadness, Yili... Every question has traces of trying to solve it, which makes people feel even more sad.

"Ah...I really studied hard before the exam...Ikusaku-kun can prove it."

"Indeed, I can prove that I reviewed with her for several days before the exam, but at the time I never thought it would end like this... If I had known better, I should have let her have fun for a few days..."

"...Do you need a handkerchief, Kawakami-kun?"

"Don't be sad, little Boqi, if one day I will support you..."

Hongxia, whose head was lowered and whose expression was invisible, hugged Yili from behind and said affectionately.

"Oh...ah...thank you...??"

"Ah... don't give up so easily, Goto-san! Let's work hard together! What is it that Goto-san doesn't understand?"

"Oh...I don't know what I don't understand..."

"Goto-kun, even if you miss a grade, you don't need to call me senpai when you see me in the future..."

"...I remember that a senior wrote a book called "One Hundred Ways to Survive Calmly in Society Without Studying". I'll borrow it later and read it..."

I walked over and patted Kita-san on the shoulder, giving her an expression of "It's hopeless, just wait to die."

"Hey——! Why did you give up so quickly!!"

"After all, is academic qualifications really necessary for people who start a band...? Well, it doesn't seem necessary...? Okay! I'll drop out of school along with my seniors and Gotou-san!!"

"Wake up!"

"That's it, it's completely unnecessary. Even people who don't study well can live a good life."

"That's right, that's right~ Just drop out of school. Every day after dropping out will be summer vacation."

"Shut up, you losers!"

Pah-dong...dong-dong-pah-dong...pah-pah-

"What is the sound?! What is Kita-chan doing?!"

"...Forget it about studying or something. I will use Morse code to send the answers to Goto-san during the exam! Senior, you should learn it too and send it to Ryo-senpai during the exam!"

"what are you talking about?!"

"That's right, Kita-kun, what are you talking about? Obviously Class 5 and Class 2 are so far apart, it's impossible to receive them within a mile."

"Kusaku, shut your mouth too!! Ahhhh--really! Everyone, please cheer up--! Ryo, you're going to repeat the grade if you keep doing this! You don't want to enter the new year with me?

The school year?! Is this the only extent of our relationship!"

"Why do you feel like this conversation is about to get married?"

Senior Xingge and I hid at the bar and quietly bit our ears.

"Really? Like an annoying girlfriend..."

"……gone back."

Yamada-senpai suddenly stood up and packed her papers.

"Ah... Ryo... I'm not angry with you or..."

"It's not the table at home. I can't rest assured. I'm going back to study!"
