Baka to Tesuto to Syokanju:Volume6 The First Question

"...Yuuji"

"What is it, Shouko?

"Until when will the special supplementary lesson continue?"

"I think end of this week to the utmost. Really, even though the first semester finally ended too, to still have to go to school everyday, does that hag doesn't understand the meaning of summer holiday?"

"....But, it can't be helped for Yuuji and everyone in the F class. Since you usually skip classes a lot."

"Well, you have a point there.... Rather than that, why are you going to school everyday? A class doesn't have supplementary lessons right?"

"...There's no supplementary lessons, but we have a summer short course[Reference added later]"

"Summer short course? If I'm not wrong, that's for the college entrance exam preparation right?"

"...Un"

"Yare yare. To go to school even during holiday, you're really enthusiastic aren't you. As expected of A class-sama."

"....It has nothing to do with A class. Yuuji is there, so I go to school."

"You're still spouting that...."

"....If Yuuji's not going to school, then I'm also not going. Whether there's a summer short course or not."

"Aaah. Got it, got it."

"...If Yuuji's not going to the wedding place, then I will bring you there. Whether there's any intention to marry or not."

"It sounds like a cool line, but remember that it's a splendid human rights violation! Or rather, if it become like that, I will make sure to resist with all my power!"

"....Resistance is futile. Because I will do my best."

"Why are you doing your best on something like that! Don't waste your effort!"

"...Before"

"Aan?"

"....Before, Yoshii said this."

"What? What did that idiot say?"

"....[I can do my best for the people that I like]"

"That's not it, okay!? The implication of what he said wasn't that at all okay!?"

"...Lately, I also think like that."

"What do you mean by also! Even if you look for it, you're the only one in the world who would think like that!"

"....With Yuuji, I will fight without any petty trick straightly with my arm strength for a marriage."

"What's marriage has to do with arm strengyaaaa! My skull! My skull let out a creaking voice!"

"...Will you, marry me?"

"I won't! Or rather, I can't! It's too soon you know!"

"...Ah...is that so..."

"Ze...ze... Do you understand now...."

"...Un. I was too hasty...."

"That's right. I'm still 17 years old you know? Even if I wanted to marry - "

"...At this hour, the wedding place and the civil office haven't opened yet."

"That's not the problem you know!?"

"...Un. I know. Just joking..."

".......How do I say this, you, you're steadily getting stupid aren't you...."

"...So mean."

"It's the truth."

"....So mean."

"Keh."

"....But, Yuuji"

"Haa?"

"...That remark earlier, does that mean you will marry me when you turn 18?"

"Geho geho! What are you spouting about!"

"...I'm looking forward to it."

"You know.... Until when do you plan to keep spouting those words.... It's time for you to return to reality."

"...It's alright."

"Alright? What's alright?"

"....Because no matter what, I will always like Yuuji."

"Geho geho!"

First question

Please change the following words into English

"スペイン語"

Himeji Mizuki's answer

"Spanish"

Teacher's comment

One of the basic English words, isn't it. Sometimes there are people who forget to write the first letter, S, as a capital letter. Please remain vigilant against those kinds of careless mistakes.

Tsuchiya Kouta's answer

"Speines-"

Teacher's comment

I wonder if you wanted to write "Speinese", just like the form in "Japanese". Too bad, but it's wrong.

Yoshii Akihisa's answer

"Spaget-"

Teacher's comment

No matter how I tried to interpret this otherwise, I can't see this as anything other than, you were going to write "Spaghetti" as the answer.

The finals are over, it's a period where we're covered by an indescribable sense of freedom. The number of days left until July ends become just a few more. The loud voice of the cicada and the cumolonimbus[1] that cover the surrounding skies, the signs that signal that true summer has come are being painted all around us.

The season where the burning ray of sun rains on us - something that a girl who's mindful about getting sunburned might hate.

Not only sunburn. The season called summer is hot, noisy, and even insects come out.

But, even so, for me, this season is the one I like the most in going through the whole year.

Passing through the cold winter, the season where life start to bud, spring.

The color of the mountain change from green into red, the season where preparation against the visiting cold wave start, autumn.

The air is clear, the season where you can feel the shine of the stars closer than usual, winter.

Even each of the other seasons have their own mountains of good things.

But, in spite of all that, I feel that compared to the the other season, the season called summer always have something special.

The boiling heat, the bug's self-assertion that breaks your eardrums, even the clamor of the baseball club that you can hear from the campus, all of them are the spices to enjoy this special season.

Going outside, I want to feel the heat that can only be felt on this period. Frowning a little toward the bustling clamor, I want to bask in the burning sun rays. Wiping the unstoppable sweat, I want to move my body as much as I can. That's the right way to enjoy the season called summer, the period of time called broad daylight isn't it.

That's right. Now is the special season called summer which can make your heart dance. That's why -

(Yuuji, let's run. From this hell's jail of the soul.)

(Nicely said Akihisa. I'm already fed up with this iron-fist-supplementary-lesson full course.)

-That's why, we decided to run away from Tetsujin's supplementary lesson.

(In the first place, to still have lessons even on summer holiday is a mistake isn't it. Moreover, most of the people in this class is male. Let alone study, it's hard enough to breath inside here isn't it.)

My bad company, Sakamoto Yuuji, who sit right beside me frowned his full-of-roughness face.

(And additionally, the one doing the supplementary lesson is iron man too.... He's so sultry even in the winter, in this circumstances, looking at iron man is just like a torture.)

At the platform, the well muscled hot-blooded teacher, Nishimura-sensei a.k.a iron man is continuing the supplementary lesson without even showing a drop of sweat. The reason he doesn't even slightly show any form of being worn-out is because his trained physical strength through his hobby of triathlon.

(For Himeji to still be able to take a note seriously in this situation.... Is she a monster?)

(Just as expected of someone who has the capability of A-class's valedictorian - is what I want to say, but Himeji-san's body is weak isn't she. I wonder if she will be okay.... Lately it seems she's in a good condition, but I'm still worried.)

For the time being, at least she got the window-seat position where the ventilation is good, but the best position under the shadow of the pillar is already given to someone else. As long as she doesn't forget to keep hydrated, I don't think anything bad can happen suddenly....

(Iron man is pretty considerate about that think so it should be alright isn't it. Even if he looks like that, in proportion to who the other party is, he's pretty considerate to them)

(Un..... he indeed look well at who the other party is isn't he....)

That's why we're placed at the furthest ridge from the window where the heat from the sun is strongest and the ventilation is the worse. This is extreme discrimination.

(So, Yuuji, how do you plan to slip out? The opponent is that iron man so if we're caught it will be hell.)

(Akihisa, you invite others to run away but didn't think about any plan at all?)

(If I already have a plan I would have executed it alone at once.)

(Well, you're right about that. Now, what should we do....)

While discussing with Yuuji in small voices, we're looking for iron man's weakness. Of course, we don't have the luxury of being suspected of talking with each other. We suppress our voices to the lowest volume and move our mouth like a ventriloquist when we talk. An indispensable technique for the boys in this class that iron man set his eyes on.

[-Assume the height of the object before is h, when all of the potential energy in the object is converted into kinetic energy, the formula of the speed of the object in this state, v, is heavily reliant on the gravitational acceleration g and the height h which- ]

Iron man was facing us while reading the text book out loud.

To move now is not a good idea. If we made even a slightly stupid move, we will caught immediately wouldn't we. I wonder what should we do.....

(Oi, Yoshii, Sakamoto. Are you two going to run away?)

(If you're going to run, we're coming too. We can't stand staying in this hell any longer.)

(Me too. If I stay like this, I will certainly die from dehydration.)

While being troubled thinking about the way to escape, our classmate that sit nearby start to talk to us. If course, their face keep facing the blackboard, and their mouth only move very slightly that you wouldn't think they were currently talking. The only person that iron man hasn't set his eyes on is only Himeji-san and Minami. The other classmates already learned this special skill.

(Then Yuuji, how does the plan where we simultaneously run away with this many number of men sound?)
