Kiyoshi is crying.
To sum up, he apparently didn't want to fail the test and have to take extra classes during the summer vacation.
Come to think of it, Hime was worried about me earlier.
It seems that Hijiri hates studying. Even though he has the best teacher in Hime right next to him, his inherent laziness prevents him from making the most of this great environment.
"Don't worry about it... well, those things happen!"
"Good luck, Hijiri-san!"
"It's not my problem!? You two should be more considerate of me. Ugh, I don't want to go to school during summer vacation."
Because there's not much that Hisamori and I can do for you.
Even if I were to be taught, my grades are average. It would be better to have Hime, who is near the top of the class not only in the school but also nationwide, teach me.
And Hisamori is a junior first-year student, so it will be difficult for her to help Hijiri with his studies.
"Y-You know, Hime-chan is the only one I can rely on."
"I'm at a loss. There's nothing I can do."
"You're kidding me!? I never thought my sister would abandon me... Ugh, I guess this is my fate. Everyone's so cold. I feel just like Alice in the Little Match Story."
The story mixes the Little Match Girl with Alice in Wonderland, and the metaphors used are incorrect to begin with, so I'm worried about the future. There's no need to force yourself to say clever things.
And Hime seemed a little annoyed with Kiyoshi.
This child was probably always telling Kiyoshi that he should study hard. However, Kiyoshi is a sloth, so he ignored her advice and now he is suffering.
Hime seems to want to say that it's his own fault.
"So, Yohei-kun...can you help me?"
However, Hime is quite kind to her sister.
Even though he may be strict or cold, it's all just the flip side of his love. No matter what, he won't abandon you. That's why he's asking for my help now.
"But my grades are average... I'm not the kind of person who can teach others, you know?"
"It's okay. You're the lowest ranking person, so in fact there's no one you can't teach."
"I wish you'd use kinder words. Even Onee-san gets hurt... Munch munch, it's delicious ♪ What kind of sweets are these!? I might like them~"
"Hmm... I'm the type of person who can forget about my worries if I'm either eating something delicious or sleeping."
Before the words had even left her tongue, Kiyoshi had already brushed aside her sister's harsh words. She smiled happily as she received the chocolate twig from Hisamori.
Meanwhile, Hime, seeing her sister like this, throws up her hands, seemingly at her wits' end against Kiyoshi's optimistic thinking and self-centeredness.
Well, it's fine when it comes to teaching... but Hime has much better grades than him, and it seems like this girl would be more beneficial for Hijiri to teach.
When I told Hime about it, she shook her head.
"I'm not that good at teaching people... I know this might be annoying, but I just don't understand why you don't understand. I'm sorry for being a bit cheeky."
"No, no, I don't think it's arrogant."
So it's okay. It's not on my nose.
And finally, I understood why Hijiri's grades were so poor even though Hime was there.
(Hime is a genius, so maybe she doesn't have a good sense of that sort of thing...)
It's the same as in sports: talented players don't necessarily make great coaches.
Well, I see.
Indeed, even an ordinary person like me might have something to do for Hijiri-san.
