Slow Start ch164

Good morning, Shion-chan!
Wah!
You're up early, Hana-chan.
Yeah, my eyes just opened for some reason.

It's the last day of winter break,
so I figured I should wake up early.

If only she saved waking up early for new school term.
If only you saved waking up early for new school term.

It all slipped out of her mouth.

You don't get it, Shion-chan.

I got up early to make the most of this final day of break,
which means I'll be able to wake up early tomorrow when the new term starts too.
It's a new year, after all. Those days of barely making it to school on time are a thing of the past!!
I see, I see.

Cleaning
Studying
Tea

What a perfect day.
It's a little early, but I guess I should go to sleep.
By going to bed early, I'll be able to make the new term perfect tomorrow as well♪
I'll set my alarm too.

?
I am so sorry. To come at such a late hour. It is Momochi.

Unintentional haiku

Tama-chan?
What's wrong?
I'm...

I'M SUCH A FOOL!

Uuh
Uweh
hic

Hmm
Hmm
Hmm

I see, I see.
You completely forgot about your winter homework...
How foolish...
Yep.

Huh?
But I thought we finished all of it with Eiko-chan the other day.
Let's do
our homework~
About that...

While getting ready for tomorrow,
I was putting together the homework printout I had finished when...
Yaya?

This printout
says No.2 on it.

Where's No.1?
Huh?
It's not not not there?

I looked all over the house but couldn't find it anywhere.

I thought I might've left it at school, so I hurried over there to fetch it.
Hyeeh.
Ah.
So that's why you're in your uniform, Tama-chan.

My hunch turned out to be on the mark
and I managed to find the printout.
Good for you.
Found it!

And this
is that printout.
Wah.

I found it in the depths of my desk.
It sure looks like it came out of the depths.

So,
since it's late at night,
I was hoping you'd let me copy your homework, Hana-chan.

Okay?

Tama-chan.
You're welcome to sleep over tonight.
Figured as much~

Ah, but,
if I can finish it quickly, I'll leave ASAP!
Like whoosh!!
Tama-chan.

I have some bad news for you.

This homework
actually consists of three printouts.
Hyeh!
No.1 and No.3 were clumped together!

She had the printouts ironed out.
I did it.

Uuuh.
I'm sho shorry.

Bathroom essentials

I'll be in your care...
You can use these sweats I got from Hiroe-san as pajamas,
and there's some new underwear in the lucky bags.
Ooh...
You're so considerate...
about every little thing...

This is getting kinda fun.
Hooray for sleepovers♪

Yeah yeah.
Try not to fall asleep until you're finished, okay♪
Hooray for sleepovers☠

Well then,
let me know if there's any parts you don't understa-
Here and here and here and here!
Th-That was fast...

You use this formula here.
????????????!???????!!?
I... se...e?

Incidentally, there's two more questions that use this formula.
I see!!
They have multiple questions with the same formula to lull you into a false sense of security.

How cheeky of them.
Fu
You sure are quick to figure stuff like that out, huh.

Late night snack

By the way, did your parents like the present
that you bought with your part-time wages?
Yeah!

But before I could give them the present, a bunch of my relatives had came over for New Year's.

New Year's Day
Present

The presence of their new year's gifts
made my part-time wages seem like nothing...
It felt like they were buying the present
with the new year's gifts...
Ooh, new year's gifts!

How much did you get?
Uweh!?

I didn't take part last year,
plus they were celebrating me getting into high school.
It was more than usual, so...

About this much...
EEH!?

You gonna be okay with taxes and stuff?
Pyeh!?
Is that bad!?
Am I gonna be arrested!?

Just kidding.
I got a similarly large amount from my relatives too.
Cut that out.
Hyeeh, you scared me...

...
Oh?

I'm feeling pretty motivated now.
Wah. That's good.

I wanna try solving these on my own for a bit, so feel free to lounge around and watch videos.
You sure a motivated, Tama-chan.
Okay, I'll take you up on that.

Ah, sorry. Guess that was pretty loud, huh?
Ehehe
What was that destructive sound just now?
Y-Y-You've got it all wrong!!
It wasn't the sound of smartphones being destroyed or anything, okay!!?

You're watching smartphone destruction videos again!?
I'm not!!
More importantly, Tama-chan, you need to do your homework!!!
There you go, trying to wave it off again!!
But that's so like you!!

Pya~
Pya~

I-
It's done...
Th-
Thank goodness...

On the first day of the new term, she barely made it on time, just like always.

You did very well<3
