He then looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was lounging lazily on the sofa, and shook his head without saying a word.
Anyway, I've done everything I can as a father, and now it's up to Xiaoshi herself.
"Yumi."
Shinichi Kasumigaoka quickly leaned down and whispered in her ear, "It's about time. Let's take Shizu back today, since she's only recently recovered."
"Oh dear, can't you care more about Xiaoshi's future happiness? Don't you see there's a terrifying opponent right in front of you? How can you bear to hand over such a good son-in-law?"
"I've taken care of this matter. Just wait to go home and praise me properly." Upon hearing this, Kasumigaoka Shinichi smiled proudly.
He has already put aside all his pride for his daughter's happiness.
Yumi Kasumigaoka looked at him questioningly, "What did you say to Kijima-kun inside just now?"
"Let's talk about it when we get home, let's talk about it when we get home..."
The couple whispered to each other for a while before returning to reality. Looking at the polite Kijima Yuta, Kasumigaoka Yumi smiled and said, "I think it's about time for today, so let's take Shi back first."
"Yes, Xiaoshi has only recently recovered, she should go home and rest properly for a while."
Yuta Kijima didn't know what they had been whispering about, but he could roughly guess what it was.
"Then I'll see Uncle and Auntie off."
"No need, our car is parked downstairs, no need to trouble Kijima-kun."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two pulled Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was still looking bewildered, to their feet to say goodbye.
Seeing this, Yuta Kijima didn't try to stop them. After seeing the three off, he dragged his slightly tired body back to the living room.
Lying directly on the sofa, Yuta Kijima finally felt alive again, and he always felt that chatting with his senior's family was a battle of wits.
"What's wrong? Didn't it go well meeting your parents for the first time?"
A calm, amused voice reached his ears.
Yuta Kijima glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was sitting to the side playing with a cat, and said earnestly, forcing himself to speak, "Thank you so much, Yukinoshita-san, for today. I would have been really overwhelmed if you weren't here."
There's absolutely no way to rely on this "lazy otaku" senior.
"If you ever need any help from Yukinoshita-san in the future, just let me know. I will do my best to help you," Yuta Kijima said sincerely.
"Then I won't be so polite with you from now on."
Yukino Yukinoshita tucked a strand of her hair back, while rubbing the cat's little belly: "I don't usually serve tea or water to others."
"..."
Well, Yuta Kijima felt guilty again.
He smiled sheepishly and thanked me again, saying, "Don't worry, just let me know if there's anything I can do to help."
"Ah."
Yukino Yukinoshita responded softly.
"Then I'll head back now." After receiving Yuta Kijima's thanks, she was satisfied and prepared to return to her home next door.
Although I enjoyed sleeping with my cat last night, it was ultimately an exception.
She still wanted to return to her cold and lonely home.
This is also why she likes cats; they are obedient and gentle, and they can keep her company, adding a little vitality to her mundane life.
……
After Yukino Yukinoshita left.
With no one to play with, the panda ran up to Yuta Kijima's trouser leg and started climbing up.
Yuta Kijima picked it up and placed it on his chest, then started playing on his phone. Actually, the most serious feeling of living alone is loneliness.
I must say, having a cat around is really nice.
"Buzz-"
Just then, my phone vibrated with a message notification.
Yuta Kijima opened the message interface, and as he expected, it was a message from his senior who hadn't been gone long.
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "So, junior, that's what you told my dad?"
Yuta Kijima was speechless. What do you mean I said that? It was clearly your father who put on a loving father act, and he just gave in for a moment.
"Senior... I'm doing this for your own good. After all, we men and women are different, and we should be more careful about things like roommates."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Tch~"
"Alright, alright, it's only two or three months anyway. I don't think there's any better option. Junior, you must tidy up your room properly."
"Remember to prepare a delicious meal to welcome me when school starts next time."
The message ends here.
Yuta Kijima sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead; the rest was up to fate.
Perhaps there's a possibility that during this period, the senior student will find that she's more suited to living at home, and then everything will be perfect, returning to the original way of getting along.
He tapped the screen and replied, "Okay, okay, we'll see later..."
Chapter 234 The Enemy Comes to the Door
Time passed quietly.
Friday, Friday, has arrived in the blink of an eye.
"Yuta, you've finished the test paper you gave us."
Early in the morning, Nakano Yotsuba dragged her lifeless body to Kijima Yuta's seat, turned around and took out a stack of test papers from her bag and placed them on his desk.
Yuta Kijima put them all into the drawer, and looking at her like this, he asked in confusion, "You didn't save them all until last night, did you? Why are you like this now?"
"Well……"
Nakano Yotsuba looked at him with listless eyes and said, "No, it's not that. I was thinking about whether to go to the track and field club to ask to leave last night, so I didn't sleep well."
"I see." Yuta Kijima immediately understood.
From now on, he will be tutoring them after school on weekday afternoons, so they definitely won't be able to participate in club activities or anything like that.
"What? Yotsuba, are you having second thoughts about leaving the club?" Kijima Yuta asked.
Yotsuba Nakano shook her head: "It's not that... I just don't know how to bring it up, since I've only been here for a few weeks..."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, just say it."
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba lowered her head and started playing with her fingers: "But they said that in another week or two I can join the real training and won't have to do odd jobs anymore..."
In truth, she still harbors a passion for running on the track and field, which is the real reason for her ongoing dilemma.
Seeing this, Yuta Kijima sighed inwardly. The tutoring hadn't even started yet, and things were already in trouble.
Although he didn't want studying to take away from Yotsuba and the others' hobbies, it seemed that if they didn't study, they might have to transfer schools again after a while.
"Yotsuba, although I don't want to deprive you of your hobbies, it's better to focus on your studies right now..." Yuta Kijima said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba lowered her head even further and said softly, "I know... I'll leave the club after school this afternoon..."
Kijima Yuta didn't know what to say, so he could only encourage you: "As long as you improve your grades to a normal level as soon as possible, I will reduce your tutoring time. Then you can have time to participate in club activities."
"Um……"
Yotsuba Nakano forced a smile. Didn't she understand her own limitations? Perhaps this retreat would be forever...
Kijima Yuta shook his head; this child was on the verge of losing his Dao heart.
……
Before we knew it, it was time for class.
For Yuta Kijima, who already had the exemption to skip classes, there was no better time than this to grade the students' papers.
However, in the following time, Kijima Yuta's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. It wasn't until he finished grading the five students' papers that he looked up at the time and found that only a little over ten minutes had passed.
It doesn't mean anything by it, because it doesn't take much time to just mark an X on the test paper.
Yuta Kijima covered his eyes, not wanting to look at the exam paper on the table even once more.
He's now wondering if he can end the agreement with Nakano Maruo. He'd rather write another light novel to pay for the medical expenses because he feels that tutoring the five sisters is a task that no ordinary person can accomplish.
No wonder Nakano Maruo had a strange smile on his face the whole time he was talking to him.
They've finally found a sucker!
It's safe to say that none of these five people got a perfect score in any of their subjects combined...
However, since Shoko's treatment is already underway, returning is no longer an option.
He could only grumble to himself; he still had to keep doing what he was supposed to do.
Suppressing his frustration, Yuta Kijima once again flipped through the pile of test papers and began to look at them seriously, hoping to find the key to breaking the deadlock.
……
Unexpectedly, upon closer inspection, he actually discovered a blind spot hidden within it.
Yuta Kijima pulled out a sociology exam paper, scanned it carefully, and then looked for the name at the top of the paper—Miku Nakano.
He recalled his last encounter with Nakano Miku in the classroom, and wondered to himself.
"She's actually a girl who's interested in warlords from the Warring States period?"
After all, this kind of boring and tedious subject is not something that girls like at all.
He put that test paper aside and started looking at other people's test papers.
Finally, he managed to identify the subjects where each student excelled, but he could only say that they had a slight advantage, since their other subjects were really quite poor.
After class, Yotsuba Nakano, who was sitting in front of him, turned around and asked, "Yuta... how did it go? How did I do on the test? Can I participate in club activities in the future?"
Hearing this slightly confident statement, Kijima Yuta couldn't help but roll his eyes, but still patiently said, "Yotsuba, go and complete the procedures for leaving the club as soon as possible after school this afternoon. I will come to tutor you on time tomorrow morning."
This shattered Yotsuba Nakano's last illusion.
This caused me to feel dazed and confused all day.
Even on Saturday morning, when the five Nakano sisters were all sitting on the sofa, she was still absent-minded.
