Gohan was moved by tasting parfait for the first time. Ichika and Yotsuba enjoyed theirs normally, while Miku not only savored her parfait but also someone's side profile…
Just staring at his face.
Meanwhile, the only tutor obliviously enjoying parfait without realizing the extra condition placed on him—that all five must pass—was none other than me.
So this is parfait… No wonder it's so popular.
Bzz bzz…
Gohan: "…Hm? A call? Who could it be… Hello?"
『Yo. Thank you for taking care of my daughters.』
Daughters… and that voice…!
Gohan: "Mr. Nakano…! Hello…"
『I'm sorry I haven't shown myself. How's the tutoring going?』
Gohan: "Yes. There have been some incidents, but for now, no problems."
『…I see. We've hired many tutors before, but my daughters never cooperated… It was the right decision to entrust you same-age students.』
So that's why he suggested Fuutarou and me as tutors…
『I hear midterms are coming. Since things are going smoothly, I want to see your results. It may be strict, but…』
I see. Since the goal is to guide them to graduation, the minimum condition must be avoiding failures.
『If even one of the five fails the upcoming midterms, one week from now, then you… no, both of you will resign as tutors.』
…So it's come to this. But it's reasonable. If the contract was to lead them to graduation, then passing exams as a measure is only natural.
Gohan: "…Since I accepted, I'll make sure none of them fail."
『I'll be expecting that.』
…Easier said than done. Especially since Nino seems unwilling to even attend.
Just as I was thinking, I got a message from Fuutarou.
Gohan: "…Emergency meeting…?"
Gohan: "…Sorry, say that again."
(Fuutarou on phone) "So, I ended up fighting with Itsuki again…"
Gohan: "...…"
He messaged me "emergency meeting," so I thought something serious had happened. Turns out it was a fight with Itsuki.
Not unusual by itself, but happening right before midterms is a problem.
Gohan: "…Why at a time like this…?"
(Fuutarou) "I'm really sorry! I regret it too. Can't believe I got mad over something so stupid!!"
Gohan: "…Well, dwelling on the past won't help. Better to think what to do now…"
Another problem added. What should we do…
Gohan: "In the end, you'll have to reconcile. Otherwise, not just me—if you're dismissed, that's trouble too."
(Fuutarou) "Yeah…"
Gohan: "…If worst comes to worst, if Itsuki refuses to attend, I'll tutor her separately."
(Fuutarou) "Really sorry about this…"
He seemed regretful… but what on earth did he say to make Itsuki so mad?
I couldn't figure it out. Anyway, I should prepare extra review material for exams. But my house doesn't even have a computer or printer. Bulma-san taught me how to use one, so that's not the issue…
No helping it. For the future, I need them. I decided to buy both.
Goten: "Whoa!? Big bro, you bought so much stuff!?"
Chi-Chi: "What did you buy?"
Gohan: "A printer and computer. For tutoring."
Chi-Chi: "Then I suppose it can't be helped."
Goten: "Big bro! That's a computer, right? Let me play with it!"
Gohan: "No. It's for work."
Goten: "Ugh…"
Gohan: "Alright, alright… After exams, I'll buy you a toy."
Goten: "Really!? Yay!! You promised!!"
Gohan: "Yeah, yeah."
Time for today's study session…
Yotsuba: "Fuutarou! I got married! Give me a wedding gift!"
Ichika: "Eh? Congrats～"
Miku: "Then it's my turn… I was scouted to be an actress."
Ichika: "Eh～? But that was my goal～"
Yotsuba, Ichika, Miku, and Fuutarou were somehow playing a life game…
Fuutarou: "You have time for this!? Worry about your real lives!!"
Ichika: "But we studied a lot today. Break time～"
Yotsuba: "My head's about to explode…"
Fuutarou: "…Fair point."
They had been studying hard earlier. Taking breaks matters too.
Ichika: "Fuutarou… are we really in that much trouble…?"
Fuutarou: "…Actually…"
