The Next Week
School
Library
(Y/N) POV
Me: Huh, well, my headache has come back for the past week. And I still had the headache right now. So, don't ask me why I looks little bit distant.
Yotsuba: Oh, I'm about to say that you look so distant!
Ichika: Yeah.
Miku: About the midterm...
She smile at me.
Miku: Could you... Correct the mistakes for us?
Me:*smile* Sure. But first, how about you guys show me your results?
Ichika: Okay. Me first-
Itsuki: I refuse. Why do I have to give my exam results to an outsider like you? That's classified information. So I refused to give it to you.
Ichika: Itsuki-chan?
Me:*sigh* My head already hurt. Please don't make my headache even worse. And don't worry, Itsuki. I have prepared my mental for this situation. Show it to me. Please.
They finally show me their results.
Me: I see... But tell me. Are this results are better than to your past results?
Yotsuba: Yeah.
I smile.
Me:*smile* Huh, you guys have made a little improvement. Well, it's not your fault. Maybe the exams are little but difficult. Miku, help your sisters with the subjects that you are confident in.
Miku: Eh?
Me:*smile* Yotsuba. Careless as always. Well, try to be more careful next time.
Yotsuba:*smile* Roger that!
Me:*smile* Ichika. Sleepyhead just like me. But remember, you're not me. Don't give up before the time runs out.
Ichika: Got it.
Me:*smile* Nino. Still don't want to hear to me to the end. Well, I can assure you I won't come back after this. Finding a new job won't be hard. Just don't neglect your study while I'm gone.
Nino: Hmph.
Miku stand up and look at me with sad face.
Miku: (Y/N)-kun, what do you mean a new job? You're not coming back... What makes you say that?
Me:*smile* Ask your father to find you guys a better tutor.
I said while smiling but with sad tone.
Me: Itsuki.
I pat her head while smiling.
Me:*smile* Please stop being a useless fool. You can't finish a whole test if you're too busy solving one specific question.
Itsuki: I already know that...
Me:*smile* Glad to hear that.
Itsuki: But you-
Her phone start to go off. She take out her phone.
Itsuki: It's dad.
Me: Uhhh.. Just give me the phone.
I take the phone and answer the call.
Me: (Y/N) is speaking.
Mr. Nakano: Ah, so Itsuki is with you too. I planned to ask each of them about their result but I'll just hear it from you then. Just so you know, I can find out if you're lying or not.
I look at the quintuplets before speak to Mr. Nakano.
Me: It's not them who are not smart. It just me who can't draw out their true potential.
Mr. Nakano: Is that it?
Me: Their exam results-
Suddenly Nino take away the phone.
Nino POV
Me: Dad? It's me, Nino. Can I ask you something? Why did you force such a condition onto him?
Dad: It's a father's responsibility when leaving his daughters in someone else's hands. It's also my way of evaluating whether I can place my trust in (Y/N)-kun a high school student. Do you think he's suitable?
Me: So it was because of us? I really appreciate it, dad... But numbers might not be the best way to find out if he's suitable or not.
Dad: But they're the most reliable way.
Me: Is that so? Then I'll just tell you right now. The 5 of us achieved passing scores in every subject.
(Y/N) hit my head from behind.
(Y/N): Did you accidentally erased your brain when you erased your wrong answers?
I just ignore him.
Dad: Is that true?
Me: It's the truth.
Dad: If Nino said that then it must be true. Then every one of you including (Y/N) need to try harder, okay?
I hang up the call.
(Y/N) POV
Me: Hey, you really accidentally erased your brain or what?
Nino: Mine is english. Ichika is math. Yotsuba is japanese. Miku is sociology. Itsuki is physics.
Me:*smirk* You can be smart sometime.
Nino: Even if we did lie to him this time. It won't happen again.
Nino: It's your job to turn that lie into reality next time, alright?
Me:*smile* Bring it on.
Yotsuba: Now let's go back to studying!
Me&Nino: Hell no. There's no way I'll do that right now.
Ichika: Wow, you also hate studying, huh, (Y/N)-kun?
Me: Never like it even a little.
All of us start to walk out from the library.
Me: Let's have some parfaits.
Itsuki:*smile* I'll have an extra-special size then.
Me: Something like that exist?
Nino: How about family restaurant in front of the train station?
Me: Sure. But since you have five passing grades in total, you can only order one meal each.
Miku: Hey... That's cheating.
Yotsuba: Oh, I forgot. What score did you get, (Y/N).
Itsuki snatch my exam papers from inside of my bag.
Me: Hey!
Itsuki: 100 in all subjects... And not just that, he leave a note here saying, "I am in high school, not elementary school. What questions that you just give to me?"
Ichika: You really like doing this kind of stuff, don't you...?
Me: At least I didn't draw any portraits on the exam papers.
