Chapter 46. [The Day Before The Test]

“Fukushuunn! I didn’t mute it in time.”

>Thank you for the sneeze.

>Sneeze so hard. LOL

>My eardrums are gone.

…….

It’s a winter day, just before the entrance examinations.

Today was the last stream before the long vacation.

As you can imagine, I will be concentrating on my studies for the next week or so.

I’m not worried, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.

<<God bless you all.>>

<<Thank you, Ogu.>>

Angu-ogu, who comes to the stream to give me a pep talk, said, “Bless you.”.

I don’t mind it, but as an American, I guess she would be more uncomfortable if I didn’t say “Bless you” when she sneezed on me.

Well, the exam is fine.

The exam itself is fine… Oh, again.

“Fukushuunn!!”

<<…. Oh, God bless you. You better mute that thing. What, hay fever?>>

<<Oh, no. The cedar is early this year. >>

<<God bless you! You didn’t mute it on purpose, did you?>>

<<I don’t mean to say that, but you won’t get it in time.>>

<<Ah, God bless you, God bless you, God bless you! God bless you, God bless you, God bless you! If I have more to say, I’ll say it all first! I won’t say it again next time!>>

<<Ahahahaha.>>

She declares so.

She’s very conscientious.

Come to think of it, I have heard that the reason for “Bless You” was because the initial symptom of the plague was sneezing.

Back then, we had no choice but to pray to God.

My cheat-like translation skills now translate it as “Bless you.”

But in this day and age, “God bless you” would be fine. No, it’s still too heavy.

What is the translation sense in this area? I still don’t understand many things about the cheat ability.

<<So when is the test? Is it going to be alright? I have hay fever and can’t concentrate.>>

<<I’ll get some medicine tomorrow, just in case. I’ll blur out the specific dates to avoid being identified, but the test will take place for three days.>>

>You mean 3 times?

>Do they have the test over 3 days?

>I guess taking the junior high school entrance exam is harder than I thought.

<<Thanks for the info. I’ll do my best. I’ll share my experience with you guys when the test is over. And I’ve calmed down.>>

<<Iroha, do your best.>>

<<With Ogu’s support, we can all do it.>>

<Shut up!>>

I closed the feed with a lighthearted remark.

I began to study.

I had told her t I would do my best to the best of my ability, so I had to do at least this much.

My mom has not directly told me, but she’s been anxiously waiting for me to come home.

.Oh, by the way.

I took a break from the video streaming. But I didn’t cut down even a second of my video-watching time.

That’s my Exams mental sport!

I can’t miss the healing power of being a VTuber!!!

So finally, on the day of the exam.

When I opened the front door, my breath was stained white.

“Oh my, this is why the season changes.”

“Iroha, wrap your scarf properly.”

“Yes.”

The other day, it was so warm that I thought the winter was short this year.

I thought this is the time.

“Iroha-chan, good morning!”

“Iroha-chan …… Good morning, ……”

“What, Mai? What’s wrong? What are you doing here so early in the morning?”

“I’m here to cheer you up! Hey! Onee-chan, wake up!”

“Hmmm, munyamunya… I’m sure I’m still sleeping at this time…”

“Kyaaaah! Sis, you’re heavy! Don’t put your weight on me!”

Mai is supporting her sister who is leaning on her, shaking and trembling.

How can I say this, looking at these two is so disheartening?

“Iroha-chan, aren’t you nervous?”

“Thanks to you two.”

“That’s great.”

As you can imagine, I was not at all nervous.

Even so, compared to other students taking the exam, I might be accused of lacking in desperation.

“Here, I’ll give you this.”

“Yeah? Isn’t it a little early for Valentine’s Day?

“Hahaha, it’s a good luck charm!”

Ah-nee hands me a Kit Katz chocolate.

On the margin of the wrapping paper. She writes, “It will work out!”

There it is. It’s a message just like Ah-nee.

“Onee-chan, you’re cheating! If you’re going to give something to Iroha, you should have told me beforehand! It’s like Mai didn’t prepare anything for Iroha alone!”

“I see. That’s all I am to you, Mai.”

“That’s all I am to you, isn’t it?”

“Wrong~~?

“I’m kidding. I’m kidding.”

The two saw me off, and I got into the cab with my mother.

As we started, I glanced to the rear, and through the rear window, I saw Mai crumple under the weight of her sister Ah-nee.

***

“Good luck, Iroha!”

I separated from my mother at the school gate and stepped into the junior high school.

I was led into the classrooms where the exams were held.

I felt the temperature had dropped one or two degrees, even though the heating system was supposed to be working.

I took my seat and caught my breath.

They handed out the exam questions, and the examiner’s voice rang out.

“Begin!”

The examiner’s voice echoed through the room.
