"Hey, Mai Shiraishi from Nogizaka 46, who is from Gunma Prefecture, please give me some advice!" Standing on the podium, looking at the elementary school students in the audience, Mai Shiraishi introduced herself.
"Please give me more advice~" the primary school students responded politely.
Although she has said that she once wanted to be a childcare worker, in fact, Mai Shiraishi has not seriously studied the relevant courses, let alone practiced them. Facing these elementary school students who are not necessarily easier to teach than kindergarten children, she feels very guilty.
“Without further ado, students who want to ask the teacher questions please raise your hands!”
The first person to raise her hand was Nanoka who was closest to the podium.
"Hi! Nanoka-chan." Mai Shiraishi gestured for her to ask a question.
"What should I do to become an idol?"
Such a simple question, but Mai Shiraishi was in trouble.
"In order to become an idol, um...yeah, um...it's so difficult. In order to become an idol, in order to become an idol..."
It looks like the teacher is under the podium and the students are on the podium. Students who didn't listen carefully in class were called on by the teacher to ask questions. As a result, they didn't understand the questions and stood there awkwardly.
"Have a heart to face challenges head-on." Mai Shiraishi, with her arms crossed, finally choked out an answer. Before she could finish speaking, she couldn't help but laugh awkwardly.
The students' lackluster reactions made her uneasy.
"What are the three most important things for an idol?" Ryosuke-kun, an elementary school student wearing a hoodie sitting in the back row, asked directly without raising his hand.
"Three..." Shiraishi Mai thought as she clapped her fingers, "Three, um, three -"
"First is the smile, the smile is the most important thing, and then..."
The members sitting in the studio felt embarrassed. The circle slogan mentioned exactly three points - hard work, gratitude, and smile, which was obviously the answer.
Baishi, who couldn't think of anything after thinking for a long time, had to use a "smile" to cover up his guilt.
"Have you forgotten the slogan of the previous performance?" Ryosuke's rhetorical question seemed to be torturing Shiraishi Mai's soul.
Bai Shi immediately stopped smiling and said in shock: "Do you also know?"
Amamiya Shiori, who was sitting in the studio, smiled, "I have to be in charge of this idiot."
"Work hard, thank you, and smile." Mai Shiraishi suddenly realized, "Work hard, thank you, and smile. Yes, that's it!"
"Then why couldn't you answer it at first?" Ryousuke continued to worry.
Shiraishi Mai was extremely ashamed, "Well, that teacher just forgot."
Cheerful laughter echoed in the studio.
"Why do people fart?"
Before Shiraishi could calm down for a while, Nanoka-chan asked an even more embarrassing question.
"Fart," Mai Shiraishi touched the back of her head, "When you eat, the unnecessary gases you inhale are expelled from the body like this!"
Although it's not completely correct, it can be considered as my best answer.
Seeing the children in the audience nodding in agreement, Shiraishi Mai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next question went all the way in the fart direction and was out of control.
"If I really can't bear it anymore, is there any way to avoid being discovered by my classmates?" Nanoka-chan continued to ask in the spirit of curiosity.
Hahahaha~ In the studio, everyone was amused by the child's innocent question.
"It would be better if you scream a little louder to cover it up." After thinking about it, Shiraishi gave a comic-like answer.
"So, what should be done, can you show me?" The Shitara Demon whispered.
As the traitor, Ryosuke received the order through the earphones and immediately repeated his words: "Then, please let us see what should be done."
When Shiraishi heard this, his smile froze.
"The teacher will demonstrate?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Teacher, fart -" Shiraishi Mai felt a headache and paced back and forth.
"5 4——" The little kids started counting down and hooting.
Shiraishi Mai gave up treatment and was ready to risk her life.
"3 2 1 starts!"
"I'm so happy today! Pfft - like this!" Mai Shiraishi ignored her idol image and acted like "Crayon Shin-chan", which made the little kids in the classroom and the big kids in the studio laugh heartily.
The ashamed Shiraishi Mai lay on the table and stamped her feet. Not much was taught in this class, and she almost lost all face.
A frustrated Mai Shiraishi returned to the studio and was greeted with cheerful applause.
"Fart teacher, hahaha!" Shitara smiled evilly.
"mou——" Shiraishi Mai was ashamed and angry. It was obvious that Ryosuke was instructed by Shitara, and the last fart demonstration must have been suggested by Shitara, a mean-spirited guy.
After absorbing the lesson of Mai Shiraishi, Sayuri Matsumura, who appeared second, decided to make a quick decision and answer decisively, without giving the elementary school students an opportunity.
"Why do you want to become an idol?"
"Teacher, I really like people who laugh. So, in order to make everyone laugh, I became an idol. Yeah~"
"How do you think you are the cutest in the group?"
"Ah, how should I put it? It's harder to answer in a group, but teacher thinks he is the most invincible and cutest person in the universe. Yeah!"
"Why do stars shine?"
"Well, don't stars have five corners and their shapes are very cute? So they probably shine brightly to express themselves to everyone. Yeah!"
Matsumura Sayuri fooled these elementary school students by answering in the same way as a three-year-old child, adding "Yeah" at the end of each answer.
Ryosuke finally couldn't help it anymore: "Sorry, what on earth were you talking about just now?"
Although Matsumura Sayuri was startled, he quickly recovered and enriched what he just said about Cherourolla. He said it again: "The stars are far away from the earth, and they are lonely and have no friends. In order to make people pay attention to it, , so it shines, becomes beautiful, attracts attention and so on.
Although she was fooled, she still felt that Ryosuke's sharp eyes looked at her like she was looking at a fool.
After that, teacher Sakurai Reika also became the target of bullying by the naughty children.
Although the giraffe neck question at the beginning was somewhat fallacious, the answer was decent.
The second question gave her a hard time.
A fat man named Guanghui asked why people lie.
In line with the idea of not teaching bad children, Sakurai Reika answered the question: "Maybe it's because humans are the most intelligent among living creatures."
Ryosuke immediately expressed that he did not understand.
Ayame-chan, who was sitting in the right row of the classroom, expressed dissent.
"People shouldn't lie, right?" Little Fatty Guanghui asked additionally.
Sakurai Reika cautiously answered: "It is absolutely forbidden to tell lies that make people sad, and lies that bully people are not allowed, but for the sake of important people, white lies are understandable."
It's very specific, but for primary school students, who don't have enough life experience, it's a bit difficult to understand.
Mr. Guanghui said it was a bit subtle and he didn't know how to judge these different situations.
Sakurai Reika responded with "You will know when you grow up."
The little fat man nodded, looking like he was being taught.
Just when Sakurai Reika thought the teaching was a complete success, Ryosuke-kun's abrupt words brought her back to reality.
"I feel so mean!"
This kid's venomous tongue is a bit like Shitara's.
"I think those who tell white lies are still good kids." Sakurai Reika hurriedly explained.
"If we can answer it well, I think we will understand." Ryosuke meant that Sakurai Reika's answer was too broad, "so please answer in a way that children can understand."
Ryosuke, who is as big as a brat, gave Sakurai Reika a painful blow.
She looked disgusted but had to force a smile.
"Then I understand," Sakurai Reika, who learned from the painful experience, decided not to reason with these brats, "Lying is not allowed!"
Just tell them what is right and what is wrong.
"You can't lie~"
"Hi! I understand." Ryosuke-kun nodded with satisfaction.
The young man attacked the three of them respectively. Except for Matsumura Sayuri, who was thick-skinned and wanted to pretend to be stupid, the other two suffered varying degrees of psychological shock. Although Shitara was causing trouble behind the scenes, people had to praise him for his flexible mind.
