Chapter 15: Test Results

Studying for the exam went smoothly, and both for Tsubakigaoka and Yuri Nomiya. I got a pretty high score, partly because I was studying alongside Sara. So of course my ranking will considerably go up.

As long as it’s a perk I get with Sara’s solution there is no problem. Plus having to answer these kinds of questions in an exam should be easy to do well.

The question though is if her name will appear in the top ranks. That will be overhanging in the hallway after the exam. At Yuri Nomiya, the ranking is a private thing, but at Tsubakigaoka, it seems that the top twenty will be posted for everybody to see. Yoko’s friend did confirm that having your name up there will raise your status among students at school.

I was surprised that there were still schools that put grades out in the hallway, but it seems it could increase motivation for students to study, that feeling and culture at least exists in some schools.

And it will be hung overhead about one week after the end of the test. In other words, we should know today during lunch break.

“I’m so nervous, I feel like I’m going to barf.”

“Well, keep that inside.”

Yoko was playing a game on her smartphone as we awaited a call from Sara. I was lying my head on the desk with my smartphone waiting in hand.

How kind of her when her friend is dead. Well, I would do the same if things were reversed.

While I was looking with dread at the pitch black smartphone screen, when my smartphone finally rumbled. It is the awaited report from Sara obviously.

I checked it in a hurry, but only saw that one photo was sent.

“Well?”

Yoko put her phone down and peeked over to mine. She looked over my shoulder after noticing I froze

“. . .Hey, do you know that every year in Tsubakigaoka, many students who pass with high grades get picked for well known national and medical schools?”

“Of course I know.”

“Hmm, then you have to be talented to be up there.”

Yoko muttered her impression, and then looked again at the photo sent.

I also look once again, double checking, but the results don’t change no matter how many times I’ve looked.

The ranking was clear, it clearly stated that along with her score.

(“ I’m sorry I didn’t contact you sooner. Immediately after taking the photo, I was surrounded by people. I can’t believe it, it’s a much better score than I ever expected, but I’m really happy! It’s all thanks to Shiori-san. Thank you!”)

(“ Congratulations. You were able to get a good result because you did your best. Let’s celebrate on Sunday.”)

I was contacted at the end of lunch break, Sara must have been overwhelmed and in a hurry to let us know. With midterms over, I won’t be going to Sara’s house every day. So we will only meet on the morning train rides and weekends. Let’s celebrate this weekend by buying a cake.

Even so, Second place? It’s a pity it wasn’t first after all we did, but if she was number one, that would cause another problem. Actually it might have been for the best. I didn’t tell Sara to go for it, but even the second place was a little too good. In the future, you will be expected to keep that top rank.

“What kind of tutoring did you give for her to get second place at a school like Tsubakigaoka?”

“I taught her only the basics, and we were studying together. I told her things I understood when asked. . .”

Well I answered everything I was asked. Even if I wasn’t prompted I would tell her the important parts. However Sara from the start had high specs and good work ethics. The power of my teaching wasn’t that significant.

The most important part is it seems that Sara was surrounded by people after the announcement was made. If she was surrounded only by boys that wouldn’t help, but I’m hoping this will increase the number of girls who re-examine her, and perhaps reach out.

They haven’t been involved until now, but I can’t help but think this will help. You wouldn’t jeopardize your social life by standing up for a girl who you don’t even know, I can’t help but think like that. It would be too much to expect a teenager. However this may be a good start. Even if you don’t apologize, just getting along well from now on is a passing score.

“Let’s wait a bit longer. I’m also looking forward to hearing positive news from Yoko’s friend.”

“I think it will be fine. That girl has a weakness for cute girls, so they won’t do anything wrong.”

“Ah, I guess it is your friend. . .”

That’s why I’m getting worried. What if they are also good at sexually harassing like Yoko?

Sara is cute but it also breaks all metrics, and her friend who loves cute girls could enter a senior x junior yuri. I think it’s possible.

If you are a sincere person who can take good care of Sara, and has no love rivals that would rush in with a knife, I will happily support it.

No, But I don’t know if she is suitable for Sara’s partner, I won’t know unless I meet her and talk at once. . .No.

“Shiori, you have a scary face. What’s wrong?”

Like she was my sister in law, I was deep in thought for her. It took me a while to notice I was being talked to.

Your favorite’s partner is very important for a fan. No, no. Being a Yuri Otaku is intense work.

TN

now to actually use my translator note to um, write about the translation. In the story Shiori actually says “キマシタワー建っちゃう?” Or , is a Kimashi Tower being raised?” It is hard to translate the meaning so I just wrote, it is a “flower bloom past friendship”. Kimashi Tower is uh, from strawberry panic. I am not well versed in Japanese slang, but it basically means when a yuri-like development begins. It’s like when two girls have a special mood around them.
