Undoubtedly, for the five sisters now, the best they can do is delay revealing the fact that they have poor grades, since it would be really embarrassing for each of them to be last in the class.

Yuta Kijima also began to think about arrangements for tutoring the Nakano Five Sisters.

……

Just as Nakano Yotsuba was about to drift into a dream, she suddenly felt a tap on her shoulder, which snapped her back to reality.

I almost thought I had fallen asleep before class started.

"?"

When Yotsuba Nakano saw that the classroom was still noisy, she turned her head in surprise and saw Yuta Kijima standing up and bending down to pat her.

"Hey Yotsuba, you didn't fall asleep in such a short time, did you?" Yuta Kijima couldn't help but tease, seeing Yotsuba's slightly bewildered expression.

“How is that possible!?” Nakano Yotsuba retorted.

"You haven't even wiped the drool off your mouth yet..."

"Really?" Nakano Yotsuba panicked immediately and hurriedly wiped her mouth. How could such an embarrassing thing happen?

But as she wiped, she felt something was wrong. Why didn't she feel any moisture at all?

She quickly realized that Yuta Kijima was bluffing her!

Nakano Yotsuba puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at Kijima Yuta: "Yuta! You...you..."

However, she opened her mouth and talked for a long time but couldn't make anything coherent, since she was indeed asleep.

But seeing the smile in Kijima Yuta's eyes made her angry. She just wanted to take a nap, but she had to be bullied by Kijima Yuta.

"Alright." Seeing that Yotsuba Nakano was still full of resentment, Yuta Kijima began to soothe her: "I wanted to talk to you about meeting your sisters..."

"Hmm..." Hearing Kijima Yuta start to get down to business, Nakano Yotsuba hesitated for a moment and said, "Yuta, when do you want to go see Ichika and the others?"

Although I really didn't want to take extra classes, I ultimately thought that saving face for Toyosaki was more important, so I gritted my teeth and persevered.

"Do you have time around noon today?" Kijima Yuta said. It's better to do this sooner rather than later. With a month of hard work, he should be able to improve his score a lot.

Nakano Yotsuba said, "They always have time. Anyway, if they don't have anything to do, they can go at noon."

"Shall we meet in the cafeteria at noon?"

Yuta Kijima shook his head: "Yotsuba, are you trying to completely ignite public opinion in Toyonosaki? You definitely can't do it in the cafeteria."

Chapter 212 The Five Sisters

Yotsuba Nakano scratched her head and smiled: "Oh yeah."

"Then let's find an empty classroom during lunch break, what do you think?"

"No problem, I'll notify Ichika and the others right now." Nodding, Nakano Yotsuba took out her phone and started replying to messages.

……

Besides this, Yuta Kijima has many other things to take care of, such as the autograph session that Sonoko Machida told him about last night, which will take up another day.

After the lunch break bell rang.

Yuta Kijima sat quietly in the chair without moving.

"Hey? Yuta, aren't you leaving yet?"

Just as Aki Tomoya was about to leave, he noticed that Kijima Yuta was still sitting in his seat without moving.

“I have some things to do at noon, so I won’t be going today,” Yuta Kijima said. “I’ve already told Megumi in advance.”

After Aki Tomoya left, Kijima Yuta looked at Nakano Yotsuba, who was already exhausted in the front row, and said, "Let's go."

Yotsuba Nakano nodded weakly: "I'm only now realizing how tiring it is to pretend to be paying attention in class..."

"Can't you at least listen carefully?" Yuta Kijima complained. "At least you'd be able to learn something that way."

Yotsuba Nakano led the way, then turned around and said, "But I have absolutely no idea what the teacher is talking about."

"------"

Now that he knows Yotsuba's true nature, Kijima Yuta realizes just how good her acting is. It must have been tough for them to put on a model student act every time they went to class.

They only transferred here now, so the teachers aren't paying attention to them yet. Otherwise, if they were called out during class, the problems would be in big trouble.

Looking at Nakano Yotsuba, who had regained some of her energy, he had met her once during the school festival in May, but he knew nothing about the other three.

When I occasionally see them on campus, it's just a fleeting glance.

The feedback I heard from other classmates was also positive…

After we meet today, let's test each other's learning progress first. I wonder if this last month can improve his grades. If it doesn't work, he won't be able to hold his head up in Dr. Nakano's eyes.

"On the other hand, given their privileged family backgrounds, why didn't they attend various tutoring classes from a young age?"

Yuta Kijima pondered without finding an answer.

Logically speaking, people from well-off families should have good conditions in all aspects. However, these five sisters seem to be raised by Nakano Maruo, who doesn't seem to interfere too much with them as long as they do what they like.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the door of an empty classroom.

Yotsuba Nakano opened the classroom door, peeked in, and then went inside, with Yuta Kijima following closely behind.

"Yotsuba, do you need to take another look?"

A tall girl with pink hair and a black bow in her hair crossed her arms and complained.

Yotsuba Nakano didn't seem to care: "Isn't this just because we're worried about getting lost? Where are the others?"

"They should be here soon." Nakano Nino raised her hand to her forehead, unable to understand Yotsuba's eccentric personality.

Hearing the footsteps following Yotsuba in, Nino Nakano, who was sitting in her seat, turned her head slightly and looked over. Her azure eyes fell on Yuta Kijima, and she began to scrutinize him without restraint.

Okay, he does have a good-looking appearance, but the thought that this guy is about to become their tutor immediately made her unhappy. She had to be wary of any outsider who would intrude into the harmonious relationship between the sisters.

The thought of her looking at Yuta Kijima made her eyes turn dangerous.

"That's strange, am I some kind of terrorist?"

Yuta Kijima noticed the undisguised gaze, scratched his cheek, and looked puzzled.

"Oh, right!" Just as Nakano Yotsuba was about to open her bento box and start eating, she realized something and immediately introduced Kijima Yuta, who had followed her in, to Nino: "This is our future tutor—Kijima Yuta."

“This is Nino Nakano,” she said, looking at Yuta Kijima.

"Hello, Nakano-kun." Kijima Yuta nodded.

"Hello…"

Nino Nakano responded casually, without the enthusiasm one would expect from a first meeting; instead, there was a hint of intentional or unintentional distance.

Yuta Kijima shrugged. After all, it's normal for the five sisters to have different personalities.

“Hey, Yuta, you can just call us by our names from now on. How am I supposed to know who you’re calling if you keep calling us Nakano-kun?” Nakano Yotsuba suggested from the side.

Yuta Kijima did not nod. In island nations, only close relatives can call someone by their name; one cannot do so casually with others.

After a while.

Hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Then the door was pushed open, and a red-haired girl with a star-shaped hair clip in her bangs walked in: "Hurry up, Miku! It's all your fault for wasting so much time by going to buy drinks halfway through. I'm starving!"

Following closely behind her was a girl with headphones around her neck and her right eye covered by long bangs; this must be Miku, whom May had mentioned.

All I heard was her merciless complaint: "May, you should have controlled your diet a long time ago. If you keep eating like this, you won't be able to fit into the clothes you bought last year."

Nakano Satsuki immediately retorted, "Who said that! I haven't gained any weight at all!"

Yuta Kijima had already finished, but suddenly another figure appeared at the door. A girl engrossed in scrolling through her phone appeared at the classroom door again.

She continued playing on her phone, while telling the two of them to stop arguing: "I'm telling you two, stop arguing. If the new tutor sees this, he'll probably be in a very awkward position."

Unbeknownst to her, the two who had entered the classroom before her had already seen Yuta Kijima sitting inside and fell silent...

"Huh?" Nakano Ichika, who hadn't heard any noise, was surprised that the two were suddenly being so obedient. She put down her phone and looked up.

She just happened to see Yuta Kijima looking at her.

She froze for a moment, then quickly recovered and smiled: "You're our new tutor, right?"

"My name is Nakano Ichika, and I'm the eldest of the five sisters. I look forward to working with you from now on."

She said politely.

Nakano Ichika seemed to want to say something more, when Nakano Satsuki exclaimed excitedly, "Kijima-kun! You remember me, right? You're the one I met at the school festival!"

“Of course.” Yuta Kijima nodded and smiled slightly.

Only Nakano Miku in the middle remained, curiously watching this important figure from Toyonosaki.

Chapter 213 Agreed Upon Beforehand

Yuta Kijima nodded; all five Nakano sisters had arrived.

He stood up, coughed lightly, and then formally introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Kijima Yuta. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, I will be your tutor from now on."

Nakano Miku, who is not usually talkative, remained calm and went straight to sit down next to Nino.

"Kijima-san, you kept this from me for so long! The academic genius you told me about last time was clearly yourself!" May puffed out her cheeks, feigning dissatisfaction.

Yuta Kijima laughed and said, "Back then, I never imagined that one day I would become your tutor."

Ichika glanced at everyone and noticed that, apart from Nino's expression, the others didn't seem to show much disgust. Then she turned to Kijima Yuta and said, "So, Kijima-kun called us all here today to discuss tutoring?"

"Mhm." Yuta Kijima nodded.

"Yotsuba has probably already told you all what happened before, so I won't explain it again. There's only one month left until Toyonosaki's final exams, and I think everyone wants to improve their grades in this last bit of time."

The five Nakano sisters looked at each other, though they all shared a dislike for studying, it was something they couldn't escape.

Fortunately, May, who disliked studying the most, quickly nodded and said, "That's right. If we don't improve in this exam, then things will get tough from now on."

She recalled the various acts of malice she had encountered at the girls' school, and those experiences became her motivation to study hard.

“Mmm,” Miku whispered in agreement.

The last three remaining girls, Ichika, Nino, and Yotsuba, didn't like studying, but they didn't voice any objections.

"Don't worry so much." Seeing that the atmosphere in the classroom was a bit awkward, Yuta Kijima comforted him, "Actually, I've realized that you just haven't found the key to learning. Efforts that don't yield results will definitely make people lose interest more and more."

"Yes, yes, yes!" May nodded. "I read books every day, but none of the knowledge goes into my brain."
