It's actually not small; it has three bedrooms, which was more than enough for Furuhashi and Ogata to sleep in before, but the Nakano family has five sisters.
There are three bedrooms. I'll definitely take one. Even if two people sleep in the remaining two bedrooms, there will still be one person left over. I can't let her sleep on the sofa. That's really not in line with Hayakawa's way of being a good host.
It's all because my house is too small.
Hayakawa thought for a moment, and then an idea suddenly popped into her head.
Two sisters can sleep in one bedroom, and after the five sisters sleep in both rooms, there's still one person left over. Meanwhile, there's one bed left in their own bedroom…
Why not just have the extra person sleep with you?
Hayakawa was deeply shocked, his eyes widening involuntarily as such a combination flashed through his mind.
Ichika and Nino share a room, Miku and Itsuki share a room, and then... Yotsuba shares a room with herself.
"..."
His eyes gradually became vacant, and Hayakawa's mind went completely blank.
What a perfect plan! Hayakawa thought he was a genius…
Weird!
Sleeping with Yotsuba in front of the five sisters is going too far; it's practically a fantasy.
"Well"
Hayakawa forcefully shook the inappropriate thoughts out of his head and thought about it seriously for a moment.
It's not time for her to stay overnight yet, but if that day really comes, given Hayakawa's personality, she'll probably give up her room for Yotsuba and sleep on the sofa herself.
Hayakawa was perfectly content to let Yotsuba sleep in her own room, as her own room was the biggest and most comfortable.
After Hayakawa finished thinking about these things, he looked in the direction of the two women, and suddenly everything went black.
Yotsuba was still in that dazed state, muttering repeatedly, "I can still learn, I can still learn." Ichika was even worse; her eyes were completely closed, and she was practically crawling under the table.
It seems that I'm not the only one who has reached my limit; the other two probably reached their limits a long time ago. However, their limit is the limit of learning, while mine is the limit of teaching skills.
Hayakawa felt somewhat helpless. She, the one who had worked the hardest, hadn't even stopped yet, so how could they have the nerve to become like this? But there was nothing she could do. After all, there were differences between people, and her limits were far beyond theirs.
"I'm telling you two..."
Hayakawa's expression darkened, and he said in a muffled voice.
Ichika and Yotsuba woke up as if from a dream. Ichika was startled awake, looking panicked as if she had been caught sleeping in class. Realizing that Hayakawa had discovered her, she first wiped her mouth, then blushed and avoided the two cold, sharp gazes.
Yotsuba, as if stimulated, suddenly sat up straight: "I'm studying hard!"
"..."
Well, at least their attitude was correct, wasn't it?
"Ugh, you two,"
Hayakawa was somewhat helpless and could only think things through: "Let's take a short rest."
"Great!"
Hearing what was said in the morning, Yotsuba was somewhat restrained, only letting out a sigh of relief and revealing a smile. Ichika, on the other hand, stopped pretending and cheered, then flopped onto the bed, rolling around like a child, releasing her physical fatigue to the fullest.
"do not do that…"
Hayakawa's face darkened at her expression: "A middle school student?!"
"I look like a primary school student."
Yotsuba, watching from the side, wasn't very happy. She had been studying for a long time and was quite tired. She wanted to lie down on the bed for a while, but Ichika kept rolling around on it, so she couldn't lie down at all.
"Even college students would find it unbearable to study like this for five hours straight!"
Ichika sat up, puffing out her pink cheeks as she protested to the two of them: "I can't take it anymore, that place is completely full, there's no room left."
What are you even talking about?
Hayakawa's face darkened, while Yotsuba took advantage of Ichika sitting up and lay down next to her, and the two sisters started playing around.
These two people…
Hayakawa sat in the chair, looking at the two of them with some worry: the two of them had taken up the bed without ever thinking of giving up their spot to him. Didn't they know that teachers are the ones who work the hardest?
Hayakawa sat in a chair to rest, and idly took out his phone to reply to the messages sent by others.
He rarely looks at his phone while studying, or rather, he doesn't look at it except in his spare time. So every time he checks his phone, he finds a lot of messages. People like Furuhashi Ogata who send him messages know that he doesn't like to look at his phone, so they don't worry if he doesn't reply to messages.
First came messages from Furuhashi and Ogata, mostly expressing concern after the torrential rain and typhoon, telling him to keep warm and safe, and to make sure to keep all the doors and windows closed, not to go out, and to rest well at home.
Hayakawa felt a warmth in her heart after reading it, and responded with the same level of concern in a polite and socially appropriate manner.
"You too."
After replying to several messages, the two of them kept sending messages. Feeling a bit bored, Hayakawa naturally changed the subject to studying and asked them to take pictures of the test questions and papers she had given them a few days ago and send them over. Meanwhile, Furuhashi suddenly had something to do and disappeared.
Rizu Ogata did finish filming and send it over, but Hayakawa was a bit tired and didn't look at it carefully. After glancing at it briefly, he picked out a few mistakes and sent it over. Then Ogata disappeared.
So that's how it is. Ogata didn't do it seriously, and Furuhashi didn't even do it?
Hayakawa looked at the two figures who had already disappeared and suddenly understood something.
It seems that they were just going through the motions because they received a message from the school yesterday that they didn't have to go to school today.
Hayakawa expressed his understanding, after all, such a sudden vacation is rare, and it would be strange if those two, who like to be lazy, didn't relax.
After closing the messages from the two, Hayakawa looked at the third message from Komi Nami Aizawa.
It's just ordinary concern, like paying attention to doors and windows.
However, Hayakawa wasn't home right now, so those words were useless. But Hayakawa still replied a few times. It seemed that Minami Aizami was busy with something and didn't reply, so the chat ended pleasantly.
Hayakawa looked at Ayame Kominami's chat history and felt a bit conflicted.
Chapter 476 The Rain Stopped
The two first met at a supermarket near their homes. He was there to buy snacks because Furuhashi and Ogata were home. At the time, she had a fight with her father and moved out because she wanted to go to a national medical university to inherit her family's clinic. She was struggling financially and had no money for living expenses. He felt sorry for her and shared his lunchbox and snacks with her. Suddenly, he had a bright idea and asked her to tutor him. That's how they met.
From that day on, two things changed in Hayakawa's life. First, she developed the habit of stocking up on snacks at home to provide for guests. Second, she gained a tutor, Minami Aizami.
I've been teaching him for almost three months now, and we've already pushed the pace to the back of the second year of high school. Xiao Meilang Aicheng's grades are pretty good, but she's a little unbalanced in her subjects. Her Chinese is significantly better than her math, and her other science subjects are just average. But medicine requires good science grades, so she's at a disadvantage, which is why she doesn't get support from her family. But even so, someone who hasn't even learned the second or third year of high school material this morning is enough.
With her help, Hayakawa felt that she had made great progress. Although it was not yet visible in her grades, she believed that this accumulation would become apparent in the next semester, and even in her second and third years of high school. She was only one step ahead now, but one step ahead could lead to many more, and it was not impossible for her to surpass Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata.
Hayakawa looked at the messages sent by others. Natsukawa Masuzu had only sent two messages, which were movie tweets she had seen on Twitter. The content was about a high school couple who were childhood sweethearts. After graduation, their relationship broke down due to various conflicts. The content was meaningful and the details were thought-provoking, which left Hayakawa confused.
What does this mean? There's a typhoon outside, and you don't mention anything about it, but instead send me a random movie, and it's about lovers breaking up. What are you trying to say?
Looking at the poignant stills of the couple's separation at the end, Hayakawa sensed that Natsukawa Masato had something to say, so he simply replied, "What's the meaning behind this movie?"
Natsukawa Masaki replied very quickly.
"I'm very uneasy."
disturbed?
Hayakawa frowned slightly, wondering why he felt uneasy.
Natsukawa Masuzu: "I'm wondering if you and I will ever end up like this."
"..."
I had no idea we became a couple.
Hayakawa hesitated for a moment before replying, "No, it won't."
"Why not? Give me a reason! If you can't give a reasonable reason, it only proves that you are lying."
Natsukawa Masaki replied at lightning speed, her words extremely harsh.
“…” Wu Yingqi E scar other paint F Liu $ Yin
Hayakawa sent two ellipses, then thought about it carefully and gave his answer.
"Because we both have excellent grades, if we keep it up, we can definitely go to the University of Tokyo together. But the couple in the drama had average grades, so they couldn't decide which university they could go to, nor could they go to the same university. After graduation, they couldn't stay together for long. They didn't have the soil to cultivate their feelings, so it's normal for them to separate after the conflict broke out. This is different from you and me."
"..."
After a long and detailed statement, Natsukawa Masaki fell silent for a while before responding.
"That's very much in your style, but it's not entirely without reason."
"Right."
Hayakawa responded: "All tragedies in the world are caused by the inadequacy of the parties involved. If one is capable enough, there will be more options to avoid tragedy. Even if your grades drop and you don't get into the University of Tokyo, as long as my grades are good enough, I can still go to the university you attend. Tragedy simply cannot happen."
Natsukawa Masuzu: What you said was too cruel. It felt like you were carrying all the burdens on your shoulders. Don't make things so hard for yourself.
Natsukawa Masaki: You can delete that last sentence. How could my grades be worse than yours?
The two sentences were sent over. The first sentence warmed Hayakawa's heart, but the second sentence made his face darken immediately.
Hayakawa gritted his teeth and typed at lightning speed, "What did you say? In what way are your grades better than mine?"
Natsukawa Masamichi did not reply.
Hayakawa typed a long string of words, analyzing his advantages over Natsukawa Masuzu from various angles, his mistakes in the last exam, and his almost perfect score without any mistakes. Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore and sent her pictures of their scores. His final conclusion was, "Although the scores are the same, I have actually won by a lot."
Natsukawa Masaki still hasn't replied.
Hayakawa closed the chat interface with a livid face, feeling an unventable surge of anger, when he happened to see the message sent by Doma Umaru.
Umaru: Hayakawa, I knocked on your door last night and you didn't answer. I thought you were sleeping. But when I knocked again this morning, you still weren't home. Are you not home? There's a typhoon outside.
Hayakawa replied gloomily: I'm dead.
Umaru: ? ? ?
He said something out of the blue.
Umaru: I don't understand what you're saying? Anyway, come back soon when it's safe outside. I'm looking forward to going out with you this weekend.
Hayakawa: Oh.
Hayakawa turned off his phone expressionlessly, his heart still filled with gloom, even more terrifying than the weather outside the window.
Hayakawa himself knew that it would be pointless to vent the anger that Natsukawa Masuzu had provoked on Umaru, so he was trying his best to restrain himself.
However, upon closer reflection, Umaru was also his enemy, so it was only natural for him to vent his anger on her, and Hayakawa didn't care anymore.
As for going out with her to buy games, although I hate trouble, I won't go back on my word over something as trivial as getting angry over a small matter. After all, getting angry is a common occurrence for Hayakawa.
Just like girls have a few days each month when they are in a bad mood and feel unwell, Hayakawa also has a few days each month when she is in a very bad mood, is very irritable and short-tempered, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment. The difference is that girls' periods are not fixed each month, while Hayakawa's are fixed in the few days after the monthly exam.
Hayakawa referred to it as the "exam period".
So the most important thing is to improve the grades.
Hayakawa pondered for a long time before sitting down in a chair and closing his eyes to rest.
……
After an unknown amount of time, Hayakawa was feeling unwell and drowsy when Ichika and Yotsuba suddenly cheered.
"Great"
Hayakawa looked up blankly, only to see the sky clear and blue, the dark clouds that had covered the sky gradually dissipating, and life returning to the city.
The rain finally stopped.
Chapter 477 One Box Missing
The rain finally stopped. The gray sky, which had been pressing down like a huge lead block, seemed to have been torn open by hand, revealing its gem-like essence. People could see the stars again, and the light of the stars and the moon illuminated the city, which had been ravaged by wind, rain, and lightning.
People reappeared downstairs, and people occasionally emerged from the side doors of the restaurants on both sides of the road, pulling up their roller shutters and getting busy. The city's neon lights came on again, and the world returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
The most terrifying thing was that Hayakawa actually spotted a child carrying a schoolbag, seemingly on his way to tutoring. I wonder if some parent is so twisted that they ordered their child to tutoring class as soon as the rain stopped.
This is probably what they mean by starting education from a young age.
Hayakawa was deeply shocked by what he saw and felt that Ichinose High School should really learn from these parents. He suggested that all students return to school now and stay up all night to make up for the day's classes.
Unfortunately, this is just a suggestion, and it will most likely not be approved. There's nothing we can do; the school leaders and teachers are simply too rigid and incompetent, completely unlike Hayakawa's flexibility and ability to make good use of time.
Few people in this world are as precocious as Hayakawa. He realized he needed to learn when he should have been learning, which puts him ahead of 99 percent of people. And he actually put in the effort to learn, which puts him ahead of the remaining 1% of 99 percent. He is undoubtedly a man standing at the top. Unfortunately, he was born into an extremely privileged family, which makes his hard work somewhat meaningless.
"The rain has stopped, yay!"
Looking back at her two sisters, she saw them already celebrating joyfully, clapping and hugging: "Finally, we can go home!"
