Chapter 195 Goto 2's Observation Diary
Chapter 195 Goto 2's Observation Diary
As exams approach, students at Shuchiin University are working on their papers, as are students at Toyonosaki University, and even elementary school students are starting to work on the results of their semester's work.
The study session started as usual on the second day of the weekend, and with Uchiha Ryo's help, Goto Ichiri's learning progress was like a rocket taking off.
And so, the Shuchiin High School began its final semester exams before summer vacation. Although many people seemed to be paying attention to the results of these exams, Uchiha Ryo was still the first to hand in his paper.
Because he had two important things to do today. The first was to pick up his sister from school. That's right, since he had already recognized Shirasaki Hana as his sister, it was normal to pick her up from school.
Besides picking up Xiaohua, Goto Natsumi said that today was the day for their class to summarize their observation diaries, and asked Uchiha Ryo to call her older sister over to keep her company.
In order to motivate the children and let parents know about their children's efforts this semester, the school allowed parents to enter the classroom to observe the class today.
However, Goto Jiri's observation diary was written under her mother's guidance, so she plans to call on her older sister, the only one who doesn't know the contents.
But Xiao Er knew that her older sister would never come to keep her company, so she had no choice but to ask Brother Ling for help.
Uchiha Ryo naturally wouldn't refuse Goto Niri. After finishing the last exam of the day, he went directly to Toyosaki High School and took Goto Ichiri, who had also just finished her exam, away.
Little Lonely: "Ling...Ling, you've finished your exams, is there anything else you wanted to talk to me about?"
Uchiha Ryo: "To be precise, it wasn't me looking for you, it was your sister."
"Erli?"
Why would Erli look for me? She shouldn't be out of school yet, right?
"Erli wants you to sit in on their class and listen to her observation diary."
Goto Ichiri stood frozen in place... "Um, wouldn't it be better to let Mom or Dad handle that kind of thing..."
Uchiha Ryo also stopped and turned around to look at Xiao Gudu.
"Are you sure? You know, your sister is sitting in the classroom right now, eagerly hoping that her older sister can come and keep her company. You know, you're her sister, you're family."
"Erli didn't invite any uncles or aunts over. If you don't go today... imagine how it feels when all the other children in the classroom are accompanied by their parents, but Erli isn't."
Goto Ichiri lowered her head, refusing to go to places with many strangers, both psychologically and physically.
My sister's elementary school is filled with her classmates and other students' parents; the thought of her being alone is terrifying. But just like Uchiha Ryo said!
If I don't go, and my parents don't have time to go either, will I be ostracized by my classmates in second grade because my parents aren't coming?
Absolutely not! I must never let my sister experience being an outsider in class! At least, she must never become like me!
Uchiha Ryo: "I'll go with you to the elementary school too."
Goto Ichiri: "Alright... I'll go listen in."
Little Lonely made a decision! So he followed Uchiha Ryo to the entrance of the elementary school and walked into Goto Niri's classroom accompanied by the sound of children reading aloud.
"elder sister!"
At this moment, Goto Jiri waved her hand and indicated that there was a small stool next to her.
Little Lonely turned to look at Uchiha Rin, whose smile seemed to give him immense courage.
"Okay! It's just auditing one class, right? I'll listen!"
Goto Ichiri raised his head, walked over, and sat down next to Kojiri.
Outside the door, Uchiha Ryo smiled, turned, and left. Goto Ichiri stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Ryo's departing figure.
Wait! Weren't you supposed to stay with me? Come back! Don't leave me here alone!
Unfortunately, when the bell rang, a young female teacher walked in and stood in front of the podium.
"Well, the students who volunteered to give their observation diary presentations today, have you already invited your parents?"
A student who volunteered to give a speech? Goto Ichiri quickly glanced around the classroom and saw four adult women besides herself.
Only five parents came? Uchiha Ryo said... So, can I leave now? How could someone with my sister's personality become an outsider?
Taking the initiative to give a speech and keep an observation journal—that takes so much courage!
The teacher on stage said, "Then let's proceed in order and invite Xiaoyou to come up and give her speech."
The girl called Xiaoyou stood up. "Okay!"
The woman sitting next to Xiaoyou smiled and clapped. As a mother, she naturally wanted to encourage her child who wanted to showcase herself.
Xiaoyou: [April 5th. Today I started observing the growth of my home-grown morning glory. To encourage it to bloom sooner, I will water it regularly...]
【...】
[June 25th. The morning glories are thriving today, blooming with vibrant flowers.]
After the teacher finished speaking, he led the applause, and the students and parents sitting in the classroom also joined in.
Goto Ichiri regretted it. She had finally finished her exams and should have stayed home and spaced out or gone to the Starry Sky area to practice her band songs instead of listening to elementary school students' boring observation diaries.
Teacher: "Next, please have Xiao Erli come forward to give a speech."
Goto Jiri stood up and picked up the notebook from the table. "Okay! Big sister, you have to listen carefully."
Watching her sunny, lively, and adorable younger sister walk onto the podium, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but smile slightly.
Although I'm terrible, my little sister is amazing! Speaking of which, what does Erli keep at home? If she observes and writes in her diary every day, I should know, right?
Teacher: "What did you all observe in Class 2? I'm sure you're all looking forward to it."
Goto Jiri stood in the center of the podium and slowly opened her notebook.
On April 5th, our teacher asked us to find something to observe and record the changes this semester. I asked her, and she said it could be a pet or a plant.
Then I thought of Pochi-chan, who has always been a part of my life.
Goto Ichiri: "???"
Teacher: "...Um, Erli, what is Pochi-chan?"
[On April 6th, I decided to start writing an observation diary about Boqi-chan.]
Teacher: "Um, Erli, aren't you going to explain? What exactly is this 'Pochi-chan' you've been recording?"
[Pochie usually spends her time at home in her room, practicing her guitar by herself.]
Not only the teacher, but also the other students and the four parents all looked at the little lonely child.
Is this Goto Jiri's older sister? Her nickname is Pochi-chan. So this child was observing her older sister.
Teacher: "Erli was observing her own sister, right? Although the teacher said she could observe anyone, writing about family members is a bit..."
Sometimes I would go upstairs to ask Boqi what she was doing and why she wasn't going out to play with her friends, but she always seemed very downcast. She would tell me, "I still have to practice my guitar, you should go out."
[I understand now. Pochi-chan can't live without her guitar because she has no friends other than her guitar. But she plays the guitar every day, like a flower drinking water by itself. When will Pochi-chan bloom?]
Teacher: "Erli-chan, you can stop now. How could your sister bloom flowers?"
Goto Ichiri lay slumped over Koji's desk, his body stiff, too nervous to speak...
