Yurika's eyes were still spinning when Maki and Shizuka brought Koutarou back to room 106. Koutarou picked her up and gently laid her down on the tatami mat. As he was doing that, his eyes were very gentle and calm.
“You did good, Yurika...”
Yurika had gone past her mental limit and reached her physical limit. While she hadn't completed her homework, her efforts were worthy of praise. Using all of your power in an effort and not reaching the goal was not the same as breaking your oath. Yurika splendidly upheld her own oath.
“What should we do, Satomi-kun?”
While envious of Yurika who was getting her head patted by Koutarou, Maki asked him about what they should do now. Determining what Yurika should do now was an important problem.
“For starters, let's let her rest a little.”
“At this rate, she'll be scolded by the teacher. She's already at risk of having to redo a year...”
Shizuka anxiously looked at Yurika. She had already been late and missed homework a lot, and before the summer vacation she had received a warning that she might have to redo a year. Not submitting her summer homework was quite the dangerous situation.
“After resting for awhile, I'm sure she'll regain some energy and can continue for a little longer.”
“I hope so...”
Shizuka believed it would be difficult for Yurika to do any more of her homework. She couldn't imagine that there was any more Yurika could continue after exhausting all her strength.
“It's okay, landlord-san. Yurika's the kind of girl that will pull through when she has too.”
However, Koutarou firmly believed in Yurika, and it showed in his eyes.
