The picture book that Pochi requested earlier is also included in the application.
In any case, I read it dozens of times, so I don't need to practice anymore.
"Fufufu, Arisa-chan's work is perfect!"
Arisa, who stopped pretending to hurt, gives off a nihilistic smile having won.
"Arisa, seiza"
"Sorry"
While showing my fist, Arisa took a pose of remorse obediently.
Maybe it really hurt.

And on the day of the reading competition.
"Splendid! 』\
"What a immersive reading! 』\
As I began to read aloud, a few surprised voices began to leak from the audience.
The judges are listening with a serious look.
It's a little uncomfortable when I evaluated so close.
It seems that Pochi and Tama in the audience are also watching over with clenched fists.
"……that? what? 』
Around the middle of the competition, the acclaimed customers began to show their surprised faces.
--I wonder what?
Still, I concentrate on finishing the reading.
My friends, including Pochi and Tama in the audience, praised me with a standing ovation.
However, the result was a loss in qualifying.
One of the judges told me the reason.
"The beginning was really good, but it became monotonous from the middle and I was a little rushing to the end, so it's better to practice a little more balanced. Practice and effort will not let you down you."
"Yes, thank you for your advice."
I thank the judges for the finals and I head to the audience seats where everyone is.
Even so, is it well-balanced?
"Ah!"
I understand the reason.
I read that book dozens of times at Pochi's request, but I rarely read the latter half because Pochi and Tama always fell asleep on the way.
"I see, practice is certainly not betrayed me."
I wonder if the middle to the second half, which I have hardly read, was poor.
"From now on, I have to devise a pace distribution so that I can read the latter half before falling asleep!"
