Shirosaki Hana looked at Yushan Kazuto. If possible, she would rather have Yushan Kazuto help her comb her hair.
But Yushan and others were busy making breakfast and probably couldn't spare the time. Shirasaki nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Ningzi."
……
"Sagiri, Sagiri?"
After knocking on the door several times, Izumi Sagiri finally opened it. She looked like she was still sleepy. It was obvious that she must have slept very late again last night.
"Sagiri, many people are coming to our house today. If you want to wash up, you'd better do it early." Yushan Kazuto reminded her.
Izumi Sagiri immediately became alert, put breakfast on the table, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
[Today... today I can't drink too much water. ]
……
After breakfast, Yushan Kazuto took Shirosaki Hana out. There were many people coming to their house today, and the food stored in the refrigerator was not enough.
Fortunately, it was still early and there was still time to go out and buy ingredients. After breakfast, Yushan Heren set off a little nervously.
"One thousand five hundred grams of pork, two kilograms of beef..." Shirosaki Hana took the list of ingredients that had been prepared last night and read out the names of the dishes.
Yushan and Ren bought a little more of each ingredient, after all, there was one more person in the family than originally planned.
……
"so many people."
Doma Yui was the last to arrive.
People who lived farther away, like Sanae Tomomori and Eriri, had already arrived, but she, who lived in the same apartment building, was the last to arrive.
Yushan and others looked at the time. It was exactly nine o'clock, not a minute early or late. If the elevator had come up a little slower, it would have been past nine o'clock.
"Umaru-chan, choose a seat and sit down."
Tatami had been laid in the middle of the living room, and several light small tables were put together to form a large table, around which everyone sat.
After thinking about it, Tsuchima Mai decided to sit next to Touma Sanae. After all, they were both in the third year of junior high school, so it would be more convenient for Uyama Kazuto to tutor them.
"Meru-chan, I didn't expect you to participate in the study session, Death." Touma Sanae said softly, her voice so soft that only she and Tsuchima Mei could hear it.
"Sanae, aren't you here too?" Domama asked back.
"The great devil Yushan invited me sincerely, so I came here out of mercy, death!" said Toumori Sanae, raising his head.
"Umaru-chan, aren't you the top student in your grade? Why are you attending the study session, Death?" asked Toumori Sanae.
"Senior Kazuto told me that Sanae was participating, so I joined too." Doma Mai said with a smile.
"Hey, Yu-chan, you don't often cram at the last minute like this, do you, Death?" Touma Sanae didn't believe Yu-chan's lies.
Tsuchima was about to retort when she saw Yushan Kazuto's eyes on her: "The study session has already started, what are you two still whispering about?"
Chapter 346 Study Session: Breaking
"Eri, it's been so long, why haven't you started writing yet?"
After instructing Kato Megumi, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask as he saw Eriri looking dizzy.
"I...I." The pen that Ying Lili was holding was covered in sweat. She looked even more drowsy and her eyes were rolling around.
"Let me take a look."
Yushan Kazuto walked up to Eriri. In front of her was an English exercise book with only two or three questions written on it. Unfortunately, she didn't get any of them right.
"How many of these words do you know? 50%?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Eriri shook her head.
"Then, what about 30 percent?" Yushan Kazuto asked again.
Still shaking his head.
"Fifteen percent? That's enough, right?"
"I don't know, I haven't counted." Ying Lili shook her head vigorously.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't recognize 15% of the words on this page. Even if Shirosaki Hana came over, she would be able to recognize at least 30% to 40% of the words on this page!
"You've forgotten all the English I taught you before, haven't you?" Yushan Heren said.
Eriri glanced at Yushan Kazuto and wanted to refute, but in the end she couldn't say it.
In this situation, even if Yushan and others teach him step by step, it would probably be difficult to catch up.
You know, it took me three full months to help Eriri lay a solid foundation in English.
There are only a few days left until the midterm exam. Unless he helps Eriri build a brain-computer interface and downloads all the English knowledge directly into her head, Yushan Kazuto will be powerless to save the situation with so little time left.
Everyone else's studies were on the right track, but Eriri was the only one still hesitating at the gate of knowledge. Yushan Kazuto suddenly remembered something.
In order to recognize Nishimiya Shoko's sign language, Yushan Kazuto specially made a prop, but found that the prop was not as convenient as Nishimiya Shoko's handwriting, so he never used it.
But looking at Eriri's current situation, it seems that the thing can still be recycled.
"Eri, please look at the words yourself first, I'll go and help you get something." Yushan Kazuto said.
Ying Lili nodded in a daze, and when she looked at the words in the exercise book, she felt dizzy.
Over the years, Eriri's vocabulary has not increased at all. Not only that, she has almost forgotten all the words she had memorized.
The word in front of her was like the embodiment of sleepiness. If there hadn't been so many people present, Eriri would have probably fallen on the table.
【I’m so sleepy! 】
Ying Lili could hardly keep her eyelids open.
To say that Eriri didn't sleep well is not the case. She went to bed right after Yushan Kazuto finished talking to her on the phone last night. But looking at a bunch of English words she didn't recognize, Eriri felt a resistance in her brain.
In addition, because Touma Sanae was in a hurry, Eriri went out without wearing contact lenses, and the world in front of her eyes became even blurrier, which made her feel dizzy when reading.
Eriri doesn't want to learn English!
……
"The resolution of this transparent display screen is a little low, but it can be used barely." Yushan and others installed a display screen and debugged it.
"Mei-chan, import the vocabulary and voice system." Yushan Kazuto said.
"Hmph." Hui-chan snorted lightly, but still started the introduction.
"Is it done?" Seeing the progress bar reach the end, Yushan Kazuto put the "combat power tester" on his eyes. With the addition of a display screen, it was more similar to the original combat power tester.
Yushan Kazuto randomly clicked on a piece of English literature and glanced at it. Semi-transparent subtitles automatically appeared on the small screen, and the entire article was completely translated.
There is a small button on the "combat effectiveness tester". With a light press, the subtitles in front of you will change, converting the entire paragraph translation into a translation of words or phrases.
Just tap your finger on the screen and the words will be automatically read out into the receiver. The pronunciation is very standard, with a pure Oxford accent. It is much better to use than a reading machine that only points to the parts that are unclear.
"It's almost done. Although its functions are still a little crude, it should be enough for Eriri."
With Eriri's limited vocabulary, she is only worthy of using such a shoddy tool.
……
After walking out of the room, Yushan Kazuto threw the "combat power tester" to Eriri.
"Put it on."
Looking at the "combat effectiveness tester" and then looking at Yushan Kazuto, Eriri felt her embarrassment almost exceeded the limit.
"No." Eriri turned her head away. Yushan and others had been tinkering in the room for so long, but they didn't expect to take out such a super-second-year thing.
Eriri suspected that Yushan Kazuto was deliberately seeking revenge on her for the incident with her drawing book.
"This is a translation machine, not a 'combat effectiveness tester'." Yushan Kazuto explained.
"Well...I don't want that either." Eriri didn't want the fact that she was a otaku to be exposed.
"So you want to fail the exam again?" Yushan Heren said.
This sentence hit Ying Lili's soft spot. Because she failed English last semester, she had retaken the English exam twice. She really didn't want to suffer this torture again.
After thinking for a long time, Ying Lili took the "combat effectiveness tester", but still did not put it on.
"Why don't you give it a try?" asked Yushan Heren.
Eriri looked at Yushan Kazuto again and asked, "Do you really want me to die in society?"
"Erriri must think that the design of this translator is too exaggerated." Before Eriri could say anything, Toumori Sanae expressed Eriri's thoughts.
Yushan Heren blinked and said that the shape was a bit exaggerated, which was not wrong. After all, a 3D recognition module was added to the camera, which made the entire body much larger.
If the 3D recognition module is removed, it can probably be compressed to the size of headphones, but in that case the outer shell will have to be redesigned, which is more troublesome.
"Come with me." Yushan Kazuto suddenly picked up Eriri's textbook and led her into the guest room.
……
"What, what are you doing?" In the guest room, Ying Lili asked with a blushing face.
"Don't you think the shape of the translator is too exaggerated? No one in the room should be able to see it." Yushan Heren said.
"This...what's the difference between this and trying to cover one's ears and steal a bell?" Eriri thought that Yushan Kazuto must have some profound ideas, but she didn't expect that he just wanted her to study alone in the guest room.
"Give me the translator." Yushan Heren said.
Eriri carefully handed the translator to Kazuto Hayama, and Kazuto Hayama helped Eriri put on the translator.
"As long as you look at the English words, the translator will translate them automatically."
"There is a button right below, which is used to control the translator function. Pressing it can switch between full text translation and word translation. If you press and hold it, you can switch to voice effects."
"Also, you can point your finger at a word or an article, and it will be spelled out automatically in the headset."
"Give it a try, it should be useful."
Eriri blushed and sat down, her mind full of childhood memories. When Yushan Kazuto taught her English, he was also very thorough.
[It would be nice if I could go back to that time. ]
Chapter 348 Study Session - Emergency - Training Camp
At the end of the day, everyone had made great progress, except Eriri.
Eriri's biggest problem is that her English foundation is too poor. Her grammar is a little better, after all, she spent a lot of time to hone her English. But for words, it does take some effort to pick them up again after forgetting them.
"Now you understand everything, right?" Yushan Kazuto walked out of the kitchen.
"Almost." said Shirosaki Hana.
"Mei, what about you?"
"I understand everything now. I should have no problem with the midterm exam." Kato Megumi closed the book.
"Why don't you ask me?" Fujinomiya Ningzi asked with a smile.
"You don't have to worry about the midterm exam."
Hayama Kazuto skipped Fujinomiya Neiko and looked at Tsuchima Mai and Toumori Sanae: "What about you two? How are you doing?"
Tsuchiya Mai looked a little tired, but she had gained a lot and had a satisfied expression on her face.
Touma Sanae's expression showed a hint of dissatisfaction. Their academic abilities were comparable, but Domame's handwriting was much more beautiful than hers. If they were to take an exam, she would be at a disadvantage.
"If you understand everything, pack up and get ready for dinner," Yushan Heren said.
"Then, where is Eriri?" Toumori Sanae looked towards the guest room.
[Is Eriri scared in the room? There is something strange in that room! ]
"Eri, call her later and let her learn for a while." Yushan Kazuto said.
Anyway, Yushan Kazuto didn't expect Eriri to do anything. He had to worry about her knocking over the plates when serving them. It would be better to let her memorize a few more words.
……
In the evening, having dinner.
"It's thundering." Shirasaki Hana suddenly said.
A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, autumn thunder rumbled, and soon heavy rain began to fall.
