[ He can't be bothered to type today, he's speeding right on through his homework ]

Okay, I'll compromise. I'll go to school everyday of the week except for Tuesdays and Thursdays. That's fair, right?

[ Because those are the days music class happens and he refuses to make fool of himself with lack of any kind of music ability whatsoever. ]

I'm afraid going 'everyday' means just that. You shouldn't skip out on two days worth of school. You might miss something important.

[miniholmes]

Unlikely. I already know everything a first grader is required to know anyway.

[watersacrificed]

You sure? Every school is different.

[Wait a moment.] You're that young?

[miniholmes]

I won't be eight until May. What does that have to do with anything?

[tookthename]

You should go to school every day.

[miniholmes]

Why? It's not like I'll miss anything important?

[tookthename]

Yeah, other than social interaction and your monthly government stipend if you miss enough class.

Oh, and what you learn in the classes themselves.

[miniholmes]

I already know everything a first grader should, so it's a waste of time. And what would a seven year old need a government stipend for?

[peckish4action]

Not really fair, no, but I don't think you'll listen to the reasons.

Why not Tuesdays and Thursdays?

[He wants to hear him say it. And then might offer a solution.]

audio;

[miniholmes]

[ Good luck with that. ]

I just don't want to go to school on those days.

audio;

[peckish4action]

[ Well, if you don't want ideas... ]

Like I said. Not fair.

School isn't about what you want. Not that that means anything to you.

[miniholmes]

It's not like I don't know everything they teach in first and second grade anyway. I learn better on my own. [ And Ran's not here. She's what makes it worth it. ]

[thneed]

Hm! That's when my roommate works with the younger students.

[miniholmes]

Who's you're roommate?

[thneed]

Bro Strider.

[miniholmes]

Oh.

The music teacher?

[veryproud]

That's not a compromise, kid. The compromise is you going the full workweek.

[miniholmes]

How is that a compromise?

[veryproud]

Soccer practice is on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You have to be listed as attending classes for the day to attend.

Compromise.

I'm fairly certain a detective friend of ours went at least most of the time.

He has a degree, after all.

[ yes, good, irene. hit him where it hurts. ]

audio.

[miniholmes]

[ If ever there was a way to get him to listen... ]

B-but Holmes isn't tone deaf!

audio.

[herrin]

[ oh, is that what all of this is about? ]

No. He's not. [ she won't lie. in a way, this feels like telling stories about a hero. ] But I know he has things he's not good at.

[ or with. women, namely. ]

[alwaysimpure]

What's wrong with Tuesdays and Thursdays?

[miniholmes]

Nothing. I just don't want to go to school on those days.

[alwaysimpure]

For no particular reason at all, huh?

You're the detective, Shinichi. Wouldn't you find that suspicious?
