- The Summer Break and the School Camp and the Revision [1]
For the end-of-term exams, I secured the 82nd place. 82 out of 240 is a pretty good spot, right? It"s like being above the average and below the above. Contemporary and Cla.s.sical j.a.panese was fine, but Mathematics was a no-go. Speaking of this 82nd position, you can say that it"s a result of having some leeway at studies despite not having much for sports.
By the way, Prince is 20th, Soutarou is 125th and Kaname is 177th. According to the rumours, Takayanagi ranks within the top 10 and Junya maintains his spot among the supplementary lessons takers.
"Mako-chan sure is smart~!"
We"re having Mitsuki"s homemade water dumplings for dinner today. They steep well in the sauce and taste great.
"Mitsuki worked hard too, right? You ranked highly for the humanities subjects."
"I need to attend supplementary lessons for Biology so I"ve to attend school even during summer break. There"s also the training camp for the Swimming Club… I may be busier during summer break instead, huh."
What"s an otome game heroine doing with such an att.i.tude! In my heart, I pep up Mitsuki, who"s saying such easygoing things. In my heart, I hurl encouragement at Mitsuki who"s saying easygoing things.
The crucial summer break isn"t to be wasted doing something so pointless. True, interacting with Yurino-sensei at the Biology supplementary lessons is good, and so is raising Takayanagi"s favourability rating during the Swimming Club"s training club. However, the one you"re supposed to be capturing is Prince, right?
I"ve thought about it. What I should do for the remaining 8 months in this otome game world.

"There"s the summer festival, fireworks display and opening of the beachgoing season in summer, y"know? There"s also night parades and haunted houses that you can"t find in amus.e.m.e.nt parks. Big brother wants to enjoy the summer break with Mitsuki. That"s why, please at least clear the supplementary lessons soon."
Tests will be held everyday during the supplementary lessons in summer break. If you"re able to pa.s.s them, you"ll be free from subsequent lessons.
The month of August is crowded with heart-throbbing love events. Partic.i.p.ating in the events raises 5 times more favourability rating than normal dates. What are you going to partic.i.p.ate in if not these?
"Un! I want to hang out with Mako-chan too. I also have plans with Yun-chan. So, if possible, I want to be free from supplementary lessons soon too… but, I"m an idiot…"
"Mitsuki isn"t an idiot. You can do it if you try."
"I wonder. Can I really?"
This is neither a joke nor flattery. Mitsuki really is a girl who can do it if she tries.

"I"ll teach you. Work hard with big brother, yeah?"
"Mako-chan! Thank you. Mako-chan truly is reliable."
Mitsuki grins. Smiling as she emits mysterious sparkles, she"s probably an angel. As expected of someone with a high Charm level.
I"m the older brother of the heroine, Mitsuki.
The issue now is how to spend the forthcoming summer break. If I don"t interfere with her, Mitsuki will probably spend it on the lessons, her club activities and with Yun-chan, a.k.a. Hasumi Yuiko. Hasumi should be in love with Soutarou so I suppose she may invite Mitsuki on double dates. However, that alone won"t do. Prince"s favourability rating needs to be raised in a more dependable manner.

… Or so I thought.
"Ehehe… I ended up with more supplementary tests."
It"s been less than a week since summer break started, and it"s the 3rd time she"s taken the supplementary tests. Mitsuki hasn"t even been able to obtain half of the marks needed to pa.s.s.
If the lessons don"t end, I can"t put together the plans for summer break. Mitsuki"s cute. Even if she"s no-good at studies, she"s cute. Still. STILL! She can"t capture Prince with just cuteness. The only one she has the possibility of capturing now is Junya, who emphasizes Charm. However, of all people, Junya"s a no-go.
As Mitsuki has Swimming Club activities after the lessons, she directly heads to her club.
I"ll do the revision in place of Mitsuki who"s busy with club activities and isn"t too enthusiastic about the tests. It may sound strange but a supporting character providing support and an older brother helping his sister out shouldn"t be strange.
Barely anyone walks by the corridors in summer break. I only pa.s.s by one person as I walk from Cla.s.s 2-A to the science lab.
"Is Yurino-sensei in?"
"No, he isn"t~. Sensei is having a break."
"So you are in."
I approach Yurino-sensei, who"s drinking tea in a corner of the science lab.
Sensei is chewing the super popular goat milk bread from the school store. He"s even heating up cans of coffee in a beaker with water, using the bunsen burner. Though, considering the heating capacity of the bunsen burner, I don"t think the coffee will warm up much.
"I see you found me~. Do you want a cream bread~?"
"Sensei, how many cream bread do you have?"
"I"ve 5 today~. It seems that goat milk was used in this goat milk bread[1] and it"s extremely rare. Goodness, only 30 pieces! I couldn"t stop myself from splurging. Would you like one too, Makoto-kun?"
The school store only sells 30 of these milk bread that uses goat milk in them.
Truth be told, I"ve never eaten it before either. However, I don"t particularly like goats or milk bread and therefore don"t have much interest in it, so it doesn"t matter.
"I will be fine because I have the boxed lunch my younger sister made."
"A boxed lunch made by Mitsuki-san? That"s nice. After all, Mitsuki"s grades for home economics, music and arts are top cla.s.s for her year~. It seems promising~."
"That is right; she is skilled at cooking. Yet, in exchange, it is as though she is inept at studies."
I think you pretty much understand by now but Mitsuki isn"t really the type who can study. Her specs in Academics is decisively lacking. You can say it"s due to me being awful at raising the parameters. It"s partly my fault that Mitsuki"s specs are lacking.
"Studies isn"t everything~. Of course, as a teacher, I need her to take supplementary lessons and pa.s.s the test in order to raise credits. However, I think that talents outside of studies are also splendid. Mitsuki-san"s very cheerful, interacts with everyone in a kind manner and is buoyant. Moreover, she"s skilled at cooking and has a gift for the arts. She also has lots of friends. Only, it"ll be nice if she studies a little harder."
Sensei chews the cream bread. The palm-sized bread is eaten in 3, 4 bites. Bubbles start appearing around the coffee that"s boiling over the bunsen burner. Sensei extinguishes the bunsen burner and offers me one of the three cans.

He may not appear so due to his baby-faced appearance and airy way of speaking, but he"s a lot more mature than a mere high school student like me. He also properly considers a number of matters.
"Academic-wise, I will teach her. Mitsuki will surely grow in the future. She will become a much more charming lady."
"That"s true, if it"s her, then surely. Makoto-kun will also grow further in the future. You"ll become a much more charming and wonderful gentleman, won"t you~"
"Me? I am different from Mitsuki."
Mitsuki"s the heroine of this story, but it"s different for me.
In the first place, I may not possess such a thing though.
"Is that so~? I see both Makoto-kun and Mitsuki-san as buds of talent, you know. Buds that will blossom from now on. You will surely begin to grow more wonderful. I can tell."
After finishing 3 milk bread, sensei sips his sweet, sweet coffee.
Milk bread and sweet coffee. Just the sight of them seems to sear my throat and chest.
"Well then. My meal"s over. You"ve a question for sensei, right? Please go on."
"Ah, yes. About the supplementary lesson today…"
"Makoto-kun really is studious~."
I hate studying but for the sake of raising Mitsuki’s Academic specs, there’s no helping it.
Let"s quickly end the lessons and let Mitsuki spend a splendid and meaningful summer break.
In order to show the efforts of a supporting character, I roll up my sleeves[2].

[1] Not just goat milk favoured but actual goat milk is used in it.
