Reincarnation of Villainess Noble Lady (Ch. 143-299)

REIKA-SAMA -264

The handouts that Kaburagi gave me to do tonight was more difficult than I had imagined. I wrapped up my homework first with help from my tutor, and concentrated on doing his handout using my textbook and study guides, but I'm not getting far… I see no end in sight…

"GAHHHH!"

Every tens of minutes, I tear at my hair, every time I feel like screaming.

Unlike normal problem sets, I can't check the answers, so I can't even tell if I got them right! Irritating, not knowing if I even finished it correctly!

I just have to solve what I can, but I'm afraid of Kaburagi thinking that this dumb girl can't even do this much. My pride won't allow it!

How many pages do I have left? Ugh! I'm not even halfway done…

My tutor left long ago, so I might really have to stay up all night! Being pushed, I run to my ultimate weapon. Carrying all my study material, I rush to my Onii-sama who just got back from work. "Onii-sama, help! Please help me study!"

He seemed shocked at my desperation. "Study?"

"Yes. I might have to stay up all night, at this rate…"

As an actress, I express what pain I feel and how troubled I am, and Onii-sama gladly let me in his room. I did it!

"Wait on the sofa. I'll just change." He still had his suit on. Ugh, I'm sorry. I was being selfish… I'll do better.

"I'm sorry, Onii-sama."

"Huh? What for?" he asked turning around as he was headed to the dressing room, tilting head as he stopped untying his necktie.

"For being selfish when you must be tired just getting home from work…"

Onii-sama smiled and said, "I'm fine helping my little sister study a bit." What a wonderful brother! Thank you, Onii-sama! You really are a kind and great brother! "I'll make some tea!"

"Thank you."

I'll at least make some tea with all my heart to ease your weariness! I returned with tea for two and found Onii-sama dressed casually waiting on the sofa. "So? What didn't you understand?"

"It's this." I showed him Kaburagi's handout, and ranted about what led to this.

"Top 50 for the entire Pivoine. Masaya-kun's demanding."

"Isn't he? And he told me to be in the top 20!" I bargained him down to top 30, though! I'm still not confident about being in the top 30.

"Well, studying is for your own good, and nothing bad will come of it."

"…Yes…" That's right. A student is supposed to study. Kaburagi said nothing wrong. That's why I can't argue against him.

"And this is the handout Masaya-kun made."

"Yes."

"1, 2, 3… This is a fair amount."

"Isn't it? And I'm supposed to have it done by tomorrow." And if I don't he'll say that's why I never get anywhere! "He picked up topics that I have trouble with, and I'm can't do this, but he said to get it done. To study until I vomit blood…"

"Vomit blood… That's pretty merciless against a girl."

"Isn't it? Isn't it?" The pressure I feel from Kaburagi isn't normal. I cling to his arm complaining as he comforts me.

"So is this what the next test will cover?" he asks verifying the textbook with the post-it notes.

"Yes."
