“You have your admission exam slip with you, right? How about your handkerchief? And lunch box?”

I could hear Ms. Hiroko saying from the living room.

“I have them. That’s the third time already.”

“I’m just trying to confirm again, okay? Ah, whatever! Why is it that I’m the one who’s nervous here?”

Ms. Hiroko said while wearing a mixture of irritation and confusion in her face. And there was Koharu who’s looking at her mother with worry.

“It’s fine, Ms. Hiroko. I’ve done what I can. If it’s still no good, there’s still the option of going abroad.”

“You… don’t tell me you’re seriously saying that.”

I wondered why Ms. Hiroko would see it as a bad idea.

“What?”

“That was a lie.”

Was it just my imagination or something but it seems like time stopped. I was taken dumbfounded by what she said that I almost dropped the egg sandwich that I was holding.

“N-no, no. Ms. Hiroko. That was the lie, right?”

I recovered my face from shock and went to get closer to her for confirmation while her faced turned serious and the next minute, she was angry.

“I’m telling you that was a lie! Don’t let me say it one more time!”

I was yelled at. She’s now angry where I should be the one who should.

“No, I mean…”

This is bad. Even I don’t know what’s going on anymore.

“Ahh… If I fail this, then it’s good bye high school?”

I said as I held my head.

“What? Wait a minute. Kousei, didn’t you have some other options?”

“I didn’t take any other exams! It’s because you said you’d make me go wherever in abroad! Oh man, if it was like this from the beginning, I should have taken an exam within the prefecture.”

Really, at such timing? To realize my own situation for the first time, and at the day of my exam too, I started to think about the worse things to happen.

“What’s with that way of saying!? It’s like I am the bad person!”

“But isn’t that the truth? I’m the one who’s feeling bad here!”

“What!? Even you could say things like my husband!?”

“I don’t know! Now what are you talking about so suddenly!?”

We went to yell and scream at each other up until by the door. It’s the day of my exam and yet I have to be surprised by such news. If this continues, we will disturb the whole neighborhood. Our voices might have already reached at Tsubaki’s.

It has been roughly a month now after the competition and after she was gone. Okutsu Music School’s document review was already done and today is finally the second phase of the entrance examination.

I was already prepared but it seems like I was only been at peace because I thought I could still go abroad if I fail.

This is bad…
