If she wanted a serious answer to the question “How do you make a pyramid?”, Akane could hardly have found anybody better to ask than Jimmy-kun, aka the Bratessor. As a member in good standing of the Royal Egyptological Society (cf. Chapter One), he knows everything there is to know about the subject.
And for all of the issues that are not yet known about it, he has solid and well-considered theories. None of which involve Ancient Astronauts, as he made sure to point out to Akane from the very start. He had, apparently, put her down as the kind of person who might believe in something like that. And he has a bit of a crusading mentality on that issue in general.
Unfortunately, Akane didn’t actually want a serious answer to that question, because the ‘pyramid’ she was referring to isn’t actually a real pyramid at all. And while the Bratessor does know what a metaphor is, he wasn’t really expecting one here…sports is actually one of the few subjects he’s never really taken an interest in. Even back in his days as a tenured professor at Lillytown U, her didn’t pay much attention to the various sports teams there… save for the occasional act of attempted vandalism or arson against their facilities, born from a very understandable disgruntlement at the way university funds were being being distributed between academics and athletics.
The obvious misunderstanding might be a blessing in disguise, though. Many schools have capable cheerleading teams, but Yuri Shinkai Gakuen will soon be the only school in Japanada that has a 1:1 scale model of an actual Egyptian pyramid. Complete with deadly traps and living mummies. That’ll definitely be a treat for their fellow pupils.
It definitely isn’t a blessing for Maru-maru’s liver, though. ._.
More on Thursday.
