"Ok."
Hayakawa nodded: "I accept that too."
"The only one left is Yotsuba."
Nakano Satsuki breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As for Yotsuba..."
"It goes without saying."
Hayakawa suddenly sighed and shook his head: "You don't need to tell me, I already know what she went to do."
"Ok?"
May had some doubts.
"She must have gone to take care of Nino and Miku. Knowing her personality, she wouldn't be able to sit still if she saw the two sisters in the hospital; she would have to go and look after them."
Hayakawa sighed helplessly.
The most helpful little angel has a sunny disposition and it's impossible for her to remain indifferent to seeing her family members get hurt, so Hayakawa had no choice but to accept it.
"Hmm... what Hayakawa-san said makes a lot of sense, but that's not actually the case."
Nakano Satsuki hesitated for a moment and said, "Yotsuba originally wanted to go and take care of them, but Mr. Ebata said that he would send Nino and the others to the hospital where Father is. With him and Father taking care of them, there would be no problem. Yotsuba can just stay at home and wait for news. So Yotsuba did not go to take care of them."
"Uh?"
Hayakawa was stunned: "What did Yotsuba go to do?"
"Going to play basketball."
"..."
I can't accept this!!
"I'll go and bring her back right now."
Hayakawa's face was ashen. He stood up and was about to walk towards the door, preparing to go out and apprehend the suspect Yotsuba. But after taking only two steps, he felt his legs sink. Looking down, he saw that May was tightly hugging his legs.
"Wait, wait, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Nakano Satsuki said in a panic, "Yotsuba received a call this morning saying that a senior had suddenly twisted her ankle and was unable to participate in a very important basketball game organized by their club and another school's club, so they asked her to go and help. Yotsuba has a good relationship with those seniors, and she couldn't just leave it unattended after finding out, so she rushed over immediately."
"So this is ah."
Upon hearing this, Hayakawa stopped in his tracks, pondered for a moment, and then sighed, "Although I don't really want to accept it, there's nothing I can do now that she's gone..."
"call…"
May breathed a sigh of relief, finally informing Hayakawa of the reasons for all four of them taking leave. She had really gone to great lengths for her sisters.
"Why didn't Yotsuba send me a message or make a phone call to let me know before she left?"
Hayakawa said somewhat discontentedly, "You didn't even explain before asking for leave. You just acted without informing me first. Do you think I'm some kind of unenlightened tutor?"
Chapter 577 - Individual Lecture
"I can understand taking leave suddenly, but shouldn't you have explained it beforehand? It's so unusual to just leave like that."
Hayakawa said with some dissatisfaction, "Do you think I'm some kind of unenlightened tutor?"
Aren't you?
May glanced up at Hayakawa's poker face, but didn't actually say anything.
Actually, Yotsuba left because she was considering that Hayakawa might refuse, which is why she left without saying anything in advance, and she left in a hurry. After all, if Hayakawa came quickly and blocked her at the door, she probably wouldn't be able to leave even if she wanted to.
Inner Fantasy:
"Yotsuba, where are you rushing off to? Study time is about to start!"
"Mr. Hayakawa, something urgent has suddenly come up, so I would like to ask for a day off. I hope you can grant me permission!"
"Oh, what is it? You don't need to be so nervous. If it's a reasonable request, I'll agree to it. After all, I'm not some kind of demon."
"Phew, is that so? I feel much more relieved then."
"Okay, go ahead and tell me, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Hayakawa, actually, a senior in the basketball club suddenly got injured and couldn't participate in a very important basketball game that they had arranged beforehand. In order for the game to continue, she invited me to come and help. It only takes one morning, and I will be back as soon as I finish the game."
"Hahaha, I see, I see, so you went out to play basketball!"
"Ah, no, teacher, I was trying to help..."
"No Longer Human!!!"
……
The fantasy is over.
"So please, May, ask Hayakawa-sensei for me to take a leave of absence."
Yotsuba bowed deeply to May, pleading pitifully, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have thrown him back into the factory as hopeless industrial waste for reprocessing. Please help me no matter what!"
"..."
This is the silhouette of May alone at home, becoming the tool her sisters used to ask Hayakawa for leave.
……
"Oh, really,"
Hayakawa glanced at the empty room, thought for a moment, and then walked out: "get out of class dismissed."
"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Nakano Satsuki was completely bewildered and quickly stopped Hayakawa for the third time, saying, "I'm still here, why is get out of class over already?"
"What's the point of having only one person in class?"
Hayakawa turned to her, looking at her helplessly: "Besides, if I teach you alone, I'll have to tutor the other four later, which would be a waste of time. So let's just start teaching from tomorrow."
"Nino and Miku might not be alright tomorrow either."
Satsuki Nakano whispered a reminder: "A severe cold usually doesn't get better this quickly."
"Oh, no."
Hayakawa suddenly had a headache. He had had severe colds and high fevers before, but no matter how bad he felt the day before, he would be fully recovered the next morning. He didn't expect these two people to have such poor physical condition. Their colds were clearly just psychological.
"Yes, so you might as well give me a lesson first. Then, if Nino and the others have any questions, I can explain them to them."
Nakano Satsuki nodded repeatedly, her expression serious. "Just because I'm the only student left doesn't mean you're unwilling to teach me. Real tutors aren't like that. They're the kind of people who will diligently explain every point of knowledge even when they only have one student left."
"Yeah, indeed."
Hayakawa was taken aback and couldn't help but nod in agreement. This was what a true educator should be like, and Hayakawa was no exception. So he immediately decided to stay: "Alright then, let's not delay and start learning right away."
"Okay, Mr. Hayakawa."
Nakano Satsuki's eyes lit up, her face full of joy.
The joy on her face quickly vanished as she pulled out the test papers prepared for them for breakfast.
"This is what we've prepared for today. It was originally intended for the five of you, but now you're the only one left."
Hayakawa pulled a thick stack of exercise books from his bag and laughed heartily at May: "Looks like you can do all of this by yourself, ahahahaha!"
Nakano Satsuki: "..."
Is it too late for me to change my mind and ask you to go back now?
Of course, it's too late.
And so began the one-on-one tutoring experience, a mix of pain and pleasure...
……
after an hour.
"And then there's X..."
Hayakawa pointed at the exercises on the blackboard and talked on and on.
"Wait…"
Nakano Satsuki couldn't help but complain: "Hayakawa-sensei, you teach too fast. There's so much to remember, it's hard to understand, and I can't possibly write it all down."
"Um…"
Hayakawa frowned slightly: "Were you daydreaming during the lecture?"
"No, not at all."
May blushed slightly and retorted, "Although I often get distracted in class at school because I can't concentrate, this is one-on-one tutoring, okay? How could I dare to get distracted in front of you?"
"Well, it seems so."
Hayakawa thought for a moment and realized that the study time was too long. May, a mediocre student, lacked willpower and easily lost control of herself, causing her concentration and learning efficiency to drop uncontrollably.
Although there's no other way, it seems I have to balance work and rest now and take a break first.
"Take a break."
Hayakawa put down the blackboard and spoke to May.
"Hey, want to take a break?"
May's eyes, which were already half-closed, widened immediately upon hearing this, as if she couldn't believe that Hayakawa had let her rest so quickly. But the next moment, she lay down on the sofa and became a half-dead cat.
"Nonsense..."
Hayakawa glanced at her expressionlessly, inwardly disgusted.
There's a saying that a great teacher produces outstanding students. But even though I'm a teacher with a serious personality and a strong will, and I've taught so many students, why hasn't a single one inherited any of my skills? They're all like elementary school students.
After lying down for a while, May realized that Hayakawa was watching her. She quickly sat up, straightened her disheveled clothes, and whispered to Hayakawa, "Hayakawa-kun, do you want to rest for a bit? I'll go get you something to drink... or some snacks."
"That's true, I should take a break after teaching you for so long."
Hayakawa thought for a moment and then sat down in the corner of the sofa, saying, "No need for food, just pour me a cup of tea."
After saying that, he took out a book from his bag and started reading.
"Well…"
Nakano Satsuki couldn't help but glance at Hayakawa, feeling a sense of admiration.
Hayakawa just stood and lectured for over an hour, and now that he's finally taking a break, he's still reading. Is this what a top student is like...? He's practically inhuman.
Chapter 578 Treating You to Dinner
It is precisely because of this hardworking and persistent spirit that they have been able to maintain such excellent results.
Nakano Satsuki glanced at Hayakawa, who was engrossed in his book, and then at herself. Suddenly, she felt gloomy and hopeless, as if she had lost all hope in life.
Why am I so stupid?
"Ugh"
May sighed and poured Hayakawa a pot of tea before going upstairs.
……
Hayakawa drank tea and read a book. After some time, the water in the kettle got a little cold. He estimated that it was about time and decided to continue studying.
However, when Hayakawa looked up, he found that May was not visible in the living room at all.
"Huh? Where did May go?"
Hayakawa frowned and glanced around, but couldn't find May anywhere. He was about to call out when he realized that they were in someone else's house and it was better not to make a loud noise if he didn't know how well the soundproofing was done, so he remained silent.
After thinking for a moment, Hayakawa decided to go upstairs to find May himself.
"May"
Hayakawa called out softly into the second-floor corridor as he climbed the stairs, but received no response.
Could it be that…
Hayakawa suddenly frowned, a terrifying fantasy flashing through his mind.
Did they run away?!
Fantasy Time:
"Haha, all my sisters have run away and stopped studying, so why should I be foolish enough to stay here and continue learning?"
