「The final subject is English」

The test review has now reached its finale.

「Being fluent in English is only natural. In order to adapt to this GloUbaRu society, it is essential to know English」

「You should work on your pronunciation for global, senpai」

「You’re reading off a script, aren’t you, sensei……」

By the way, although Yuugure is criticizing others, it’s also the first time in her life that she said the word『Global』.

From past experience, one could guess the scores for English but……

「Now let’s head into the bizarre answers like usual. The first problem says this: Translate『Shake』into Japanese」

「Don’t tell me, Tsukihi, you wrote salmon (shake)?」

「………………」

「Yuugure’s answer is this:『Salmon』」

「……Translating salmon into English……you’re incredible, Yuugure-san」

「Masaki-san, you’re only dealing damage to her. She’s probably being pierced by arrows of shame right now」

「――――Gufu!」

「She’s already dead……⁉」

『Translating it into English when told to translate it into Japanese, I expected nothing less』『I bet she was real smug when she answered that』『An unexpected attack from Masaki』and the like, the chat is also making comments as they enjoy the show.

「The correct answers are『Furu (振る)』or『Yurasu (揺らす)』. Masakichi-kun and Ringo-kun are, of course, correct」

「Masaki-kun can really do anything……this uncle is impressed」

「Hey uncle, how about you start over from kindergarten?」

「No, I have confidence in my other answers!」

「Where are you getting that confidence from……?」

The chat is commenting『A woman who gets back up no matter how many times she falls』『A woman whose confidence are abandoned by her results』but Yuugure pays no attention to them.

「I’ll complete the mission!! I’ll make Masaki-kun release that voice drama!!」

「Your determination for the voice is frightening」

「…………I won’t lose」

「His determination for the opposite is equally frightening」

A battle between two with their own reasons for victory.

And then there’s just Ringo who’s caught in the crossfire.

A battle of clashing scores between a man waiting with bated breath and and a woman deluding about the contents of the voice drama. The battle of the century.

「Okay, let’s make these the last answers we look at. Translate『Mikan ate curry and rice last night」into Japanese」

「Ah, this! It’s the one I’m sure of!」

「Then let’s look at Yuugure-san’s answer.『Mikan ate curry and rice on the final night』」

「Impressive, right!?」

「Am I eating curry for my last dinner……?」

Naturally, it’s incorrect. The right answer is『Mikan ate curry rice last night』.

But the chat became stupefied towards the unexpectedly close answer. Several comments like『Yuugure is a smart girl!?』『Wh, that Yuugure is……』『Yuugure-san, you’re actually fluent in english?』appeared.

「Uwaah, so close!! It’s fine even if I get three extra points, right!?」

「Certainly, if you compare it to the previous answers, it’s mostly correct……」

「Sensei, I’m also begging you for this. Tsukihi-san has studied……for her entire life, just for this day……! Sensei, please!!」

Ringo pleaded Midorisaki with tears flowing down her face. Since it’s getting quite late, her head’s in a weird mood.

One by one, the comments also supported Yuugure by saying『Emotional scene 草』『My memories of dogeza-ing to my sensei because of a failing score are being revived』『Go for it, Yuugure!!』.

「Huh, this……?」

「Can’t be helped, I’ll give you three extra points!」

「Mi, Midorisaki-san!?」

「Whoohooo!!!! Thank you very much, senpai!!」

For some reason, the academic ability test concludes with an emotional ending. No one can understand the current situation.

「Sensei is also happy that you’ve grown this much, Yuugure-kun……Alright, let’s announce the results now」

And now this is where it really counts. Will Masaki be releasing a voice, or will it be Team Yuugure?

「Starting with the English results……Masakichi-kun 100 points, Ringo-kun 85 points, Yuugure-kun 33 points」

「So Masaki-san has full points……but still, we have 118 points」

「Who is it……who will be the winner……?」

The sound of someone gulping can be heard.

「The results are……Masakichi-kun 485 points, Team Yuugure 488 points. The victory goes to Team Yuugure!!」

「We, we did it～～～～～!!!!!!」

「I, I lost…………」

The earrings on Yuugure’s ears shook as she rejoiced and Masaki became visibly depressed.

「Seriously, there would’ve been a tie if not for those three extra points. The plan was to have all of you take the punishment game but well, this is what you call luck」

「We won, we won, we won, UOoooOOOH!!」

「Fuu……we somehow won」

「I……really have to release a voice……?」

The comments are also delighted, saying things like『Well done Yuugure』『The true MVP is Ringo』『It’s all thanks to you, Ringo』.

「Therefore, Masakichi-kun’s voice will be released two weeks later. We already have the green light from your company so please take care of that」

「Y, yes……」

「It’s OK, Masakichi-kun. Yuugure-kun will come up with the manuscript. Ha ha ha. Give it your best effort」

「Leave it to me, Masaki-kun!! If we work together, we can make it the best voice drama there is!」

「Having misfortune piled on top of this absurdity, Masaki-san really is pitiful……」

Thus, the academic ability test ended without any incident. The result was Masaki’s loss.

「Ah, I forgot to say this but, since Yuugure couldn’t even reach 100 points—she has 98 points—she has to change her Twitter name to『Yuugure Tsukihi＠AcademicAbilityTestLastPlace』」

「Ah. Okay」

「98 points out of 500……how’d you get something that low?」

Later, Yuugure’s wikipedia page had the words『Sucks at studying』added to it.
