Chapter 600: Eriri "Maybe I'm a Genius"
"Eri, can you answer a question for me honestly?"
"Huh? What's the problem?"
“Is studying tiring? Is being a student stressful?”
"Not tired, except for the fact that I have to get up early which is a bit hard to accept, everything else is good. I don't feel any pressure at all."
"So are you studying well?"
"..."
The blonde princess's wise expression suddenly darkened, and she said unhappily:
"Why are you asking this? Is this the kind of question a child should be concerned about? At your age, how can you focus on studying?"
A small hand pressed against Eriri's chest.
"Eri, you have to be honest."
"..."
Pursing her lips and thinking again and again, the blonde princess felt that it was not unacceptable to expose the fact that she was a poor student in front of a mere three-year-old child, so she proudly raised her snow-white neck and answered crisply:
"not good!"
"I see. I understand. If I didn't study well, I would be able to be as relaxed and stress-free as you are."
Hojo Kashiko placed one hand on Eriri's chest and used the other hand to stroke her chin, imitating Yukinoshita's thinking posture.
Hearing this, Eriri suddenly became anxious. You can't equate poor students with those who study easily. What should we do with those students who study hard but can't improve their grades?
"Hey, wait a minute. Being relaxed or stressed has absolutely no correlation with academic performance!"
While speaking, the girl felt a strong sense of mission. She was not fighting alone, but to vindicate the reputation of thousands of poor students! She wanted to let Jia Shizi's sister establish a correct outlook on life from an early age. It is not enough to study hard to get good grades.
Take Eriri for example, even if she studies hard, her grades will never be better than they are now if she just muddles around happily!
Hojo Kashiko didn't say anything, his big eyes were full of suspicion. Eriri's already low trust in the little girl suffered another heavy blow yesterday.
"Really! And it's not a bad thing to be bad at studying!"
Eriri was so stimulated by Kashiko's eyes that she screamed:
"If you are poor at studying, you can ask Kyousuke to tutor you. You don't know how happy that is!"
As if to enhance her persuasiveness, Eriri boasted about how Kyosuke comforted her and encouraged her last time at the family restaurant. It was amazing that she could remember all the compliments from Hojo Kyosuke so clearly. Because she said it in such detail, Hojo Kashiko believed it immediately.
The little girl swallowed enviously, then grabbed Eriri's clothes with her hand on her chest and stared at her with envy, jealousy and expectation.
Humph! Do you still dare to look down on poor students?
Kashiko's envious eyes satisfied Eriri's vanity to an unprecedented degree, so she became more and more complacent and continued to show off. She spent half an hour working on a question but still couldn't figure it out, and then Kyosuke held her hand from behind and taught her in a gentle voice; she spent half an hour trying to remember a word but still couldn't remember it, and then Kyosuke would repeat the word with her every time they met, and...
From the moment she mentioned that she could get tutoring from Hojo Kyousuke for her poor academic performance, Hojo Kayoko's exclamations never ceased. When Eriri listed the many compliments she had received from Hojo Kyousuke for being a fool, the little girl drooled with envy...
Although Onii-chan is very kind to me, I have never received as much praise from Eriri because I am a smart kid. It turns out that stupid people can live the happiest life in this world!
A strange theorem was stuffed into Jia Shizi's little head.
Over there, watching Eriri showing off like crazy to a three-year-old kid, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't hold back at all, and had already decided in her heart that she would never let her child come into contact with this guy in the future. No, she should avoid breathing the same air with Eriri, otherwise she would be infected and become an idiot!
Just when Kasumigaoka Utaha was thinking about whether she should save the misguided Kashiko for the sake of her future mother-in-law and Kyosuke, something unexpected happened.
I saw Kashiko sucked his saliva, frowned, looked at Eriri seriously and said:
"I still want to be a good student."
Eriri was very surprised: "Huh? Why? Kashiko-san doesn't want Onii-chan to tutor you?"
"I want to, but it's not necessary."
Hearing a child less than three years old say "there is no need", Kasumigaoka Utaha laughed out loud. She felt that the child was worthy of being Aunt Mikiko's child and her education was so successful.
Eriri was also shocked and dizzy. Before she could say anything, she heard Kashiko continue:
"Onii-chan comforted Eriri and praised her only because Eriri was a stupid girl with bad grades.
My brother is very gentle and he won't say that Eriri is a fool, so he can only praise you. Kashiko doesn't want to embarrass Onii-chan! "
"..."
Ying Lili's mouth pursed, the corners of her big eyes drooped, and she looked around, all she could see was a bad woman who was grinning.
Kyousuke, Kyousuke, where are my chores! I'm being bullied, take care of your sister!
Having her mask exposed, Eriri felt very aggrieved, but still said stubbornly:
"But Kyousuke would praise me..."
What a nice compliment! Hearing that kind of compliment, even studying is no longer painful.
Eriri drew everything that happened in the family restaurant that day in her notebook, including what Kyosuke said.
"If I study really well, my brother will praise me!" Prince Jia is very clear-headed.
Well said, Sister Jiashizi!
Kasumigaoka cheered for the little girl in her heart.
Before Eriri could continue to defend the poor student, Hojo Mikiko walked down from the second floor like an empress dowager, surrounded by several girls.
After fully listening to the testimonies of Eriri and Kashiko, the most benevolent and saintly Mikiko smiled, stroked their heads, and said in a gentle voice:
"There's nothing wrong with being a fool. Look at me, your mother. I can only fry steak, but I can eat a hearty meal every day."
Hearing this, Eriri straightened her back immediately, her expression extremely defiant. If you ask why, it's because she can't cook and is stupid, but she can still eat delicious food every day! Aunt Mikiko is completely on her side!
"There's nothing wrong with being a smartass. If your brother is tutoring you, and you pretend that you just learned it, won't he be happier?"
Hearing this, Jia Shizi's eyes lit up, his eyebrows danced, and his expression was extremely vivid. Yes, this way, my brother won't be embarrassed, and I can hear comforting praise when I pretend not to know, and I can hear praise again when I pretend to learn!
Jia Shizi wins twice!
Ying Lili pursed her lips, Si Guoyi, as expected of Aunt Mi Jizi, so smart and cunning. However, this trick was completely useless to her.
Because, Lady Sawamura Spencer Eriri is an honest person. If she doesn't know something, she doesn't know it, and no matter how hard she tries, she can't pretend to know it!
Not to mention Eriri, even Kasumigaoka next to her had her eyes lighting up when she heard what was said, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, and it was obvious that she was planning something.
What puzzled Ka-sama was why Sakura and Naoka were staring at Naoko, and why Naoko covered her face with her hands.
Mom is talking about something very important, is it really okay for them to be so careless?
And the same goes for sister Xueye, why is her face so red and she's looking around and rolling her eyes?
The girls had different thoughts. Glass was thinking about how she had learned to speak when Kyosuke taught her, but she kept pretending she didn't, just to hear Kyosuke tell her he loved her again and again. Yukino was thinking about how she had recovered her sense of taste, but she still pretended she hadn't, and she was enjoying Hojo's feeding and the unique treatment.
The reason why Kashiko and Eriri discussed study problems... well, a three-year-old child and a seventeen-year-old high school student discussing study, this sentence, this matter seems to be quite worth exploring. Anyway, the reason why they discussed this matter is because Kashiko is about to go to kindergarten.
It is not easy to get into kindergarten or nursery school in Japan. Although the population is aging and the birth rate is declining, the decline in birth rate does not mean that there will be many vacancies in kindergartens. Conquer has to make achievements, right? If we cannot cut the welfare of politicians, we can cut all the unimportant things. With the declining birth rate, there is no need for so many kindergartens, so we can cut them all, and the subsidies originally used for kindergartens can be saved and used to enjoy life in Ginza.
In this country, housewives often stay at home not because their families have enough money to let them stay idle at home, but because they have no choice. In addition to social awareness, children are also a top priority. It is actually very enviable to see the situation in Crayon Shin-chan where the little brat is sent to school and the wife can happily eat snacks and watch TV.
There are two types of kindergartens in Japan, one is a public kindergarten recognized by the state, and the other is a private one. The requirements for public kindergartens are very strict. Because there are few kindergartens and many children, most people need to wait in line. Not everyone can go there immediately. Children whose parents are both formal employees can get a higher ranking.
That is to say, children like Nohara Shinnosuke whose mothers are full-time housewives may not be able to enter kindergarten even if they wait in line until they are supposed to go to elementary school. It sounds outrageous, but in fact, human logic is self-consistent. After all, there are so many children who want to go to school. Since you have parents who can take care of them, you will naturally postpone them. But then again, if the child does not go to kindergarten, how can the housewife have time to work?
There is nothing much to say about private schools. You can go to school if you have a lot of money. I cannot guarantee the quality, after all, even gangsters can open kindergartens. Well, it is Shuangye Kindergarten, which does not support idle people. Xiaoxin goes to a noble private kindergarten. Although it is not really noble.
Public kindergartens have unified enrollment, and if you miss April, you have to wait until next year. So this time we have to prepare in advance. Fortunately, Prince Ka plans to go back to Hokkaido to study, so he doesn't have to squeeze with the people gathered in Tokyo. In Hokkaido, kindergartens have to beg children to come to school, and principals have to be careful that if they can't find students, the school will be closed. The declining birthrate refers to places like them.
Hojo Kazeko has always been a very smart child, so he prepared in advance and asked his sisters about the situation. The first person he chose was Miss Eriri, who was extremely averse to school, and this conversation took place.
All the worries were solved by his clever mother. After being busy for half a day, Jia Shizi was hungry, so he ran to the kitchen and took the lunch that his brother had prepared for him in the morning.
"Hey, little Jia Shizi-san, can you give me a bite?"
"not good!"
"Why!"
Hearing this, Jia Shizi looked at the blonde woman opposite him indifferently, as if she were an idiot, and said coldly:
"Because I still want to eat!"
"..."
Eriri took a deep breath. As smart as she was, she was convinced in an instant and couldn't find any way to refute it. But who was she? When it came to making unreasonable demands, even Yingliang would be defeated!
"But Kyousuke will give it to me!"
She said this half unconvinced and half showing off. Somehow, every time she saw Kashiko's envious look, she felt extremely happy. She wanted to tell this stupid child everything that had happened between Kyosuke and herself.
The night before, when she was showing off to her mother that the newspaper praised her and Kyousuke as a match made in heaven, Eriri had also quietly asked her mother about this question. She wondered if she was too childish to be jealous of a three-year-old child. This was too strange. In response, Mrs. Sayuri gave a positive answer, saying that it was indeed childish, but not strange.
Eriri shook her head and refused to listen. Then she analyzed the situation carefully and came to the conclusion: I just enjoy the feeling of having something that she doesn't have. I'm not taking revenge on Kashiko for not sharing the food Kyosuke made with me!
Kashiko, who was about to dissect the soufflé with a fork in her left hand and a knife in her right hand, looked up and listened to Eriri's shameless remarks. Her big eyes widened in anger:
"That's you bullying your brother, but now that Prince Jia is here, that kind of thing will not be allowed to happen!"
In response to this outrageous remark, Eriri looked around in silence for a while, then quickly stretched out her little hand and stuffed most of the soufflé on Kashiko's plate into her mouth in an instant.
"Mmmmm, hum hum hum~~~"
Prince Xiaojia's expression froze for a moment. He looked at Eriri's puffy face with his big eyes, then looked at the small piece of soufflé left on the plate, then looked at Eriri again, and then at the plate.
The little girl's mouth pouted and the flood was about to burst the dam. Ying Lili was so frightened that her heart stopped instantly.
"Oh, come on, Eriri, do you know what you are doing?"
At the critical moment, Yukino came over and gently hugged Kashiko. So the little girl stopped crying and began to complain about Eriri's crimes.
Eriri was still in shock. Why didn't the people who had grabbed Glass, Naoka, and Kasumigaoka cry? She couldn't figure it out, but she quickly got up and ran to the kitchen, found her own snack, and rushed back.
Plan
The plate was placed on Jia Shizi, and Ying Lili made a "yeah" gesture, meaning that I ate half of your cake and now I'm giving you two pieces!
Kashiko raised his head from Sister Yukino's arms, picked up Eriri's plate with a fork and took a look, his expression changing from heavy rain to cloudy.
Hmm? Why is it cloudy? Eriri frowned.
"Ying Lili, if you eat one piece of my cake, give me two pieces..." said Prince Jia seriously.
"Yeah." Ying Lili nodded.
"One plus two equals three, so shouldn't I have three pieces of cake now?" Prince Jia raised his little face and asked.
Eriri was shocked: "Huh???"
Yukino blinked, and her dark eyes, as bright as the Milky Way, looked at the shocked Eriri, then at the serious Kashiko in her arms, and she burst out laughing.
"Great! Our Prince Jia is a math genius! He might win the Nobel Prize in the future!"
Yingliang who was beside her came over and said with a smile.
"Don't listen to her, Kashiro, there is no Nobel Prize in mathematics!" Kasumigaoka complained.
"What does it matter? If Princess Kazuko didn't have the award before, doesn't it prove that she is a math genius?" Yingliang didn't care.
But Jia Shizi's focus was obviously not there. The little girl frowned and asked:
"Why is there no Nobel Prize in Mathematics?" Although she didn't know what the Nobel Prize was or what the Mathematics Prize was, she was just curious.
"I know, I know, because Nobel Prize winner is also bad at mathematics!" Eriri answered quickly.
"Hehehe, maybe you're also a genius, Eriri~~"
Yingliang threw herself on Eriri's back and laughed:
"Nonsense genius!"
"Although I'm very smart, I don't have the confidence that I can surpass you in talking nonsense." Eriri still has self-awareness.
