Hayakawa made a curt remark without any expression, then said, "Nino told me that she occasionally messages me."
"That's it..."
Nakano Ichika paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on when she remembered how Chunino often held her phone waiting for messages during the holidays.
That anxious, hopeful yet lonely state must be what love is all about.
If it were just Nino, I would definitely support her. After all, although Hayakawa has various personality problems, she is a good person overall, and she wouldn't let me break them up... However, my other younger sister, Yotsuba, is also caught up in this relationship...
What should I do...?
Thinking about this, Nakano Ichika felt an even bigger headache. She had been worried about this relationship that might cause the two sisters to turn against each other for the entire holiday. Last night, she deliberately went to bed early because she wanted to go to school early to check on Hayakawa, since she knew that Hayakawa always got up very early.
"Um…"
Seeing Hayakawa's uncertain expression, Nakano Ichika suddenly had a sudden thought and said, "Oh...right, Hayakawa-kun, do you remember you owe me a favor?"
"Ok?"
Hayakawa remained expressionless: "Go on."
"Have you forgotten the kindness of us five sisters? That night you went to the bar to drown your sorrows, it was Yotsuba who picked you up and took you home, and then we five sisters took care of you all night. It was so hard for us,"
Nakano Ichika said, "You promised to buy us desserts and cakes back then, have you forgotten?"
As she spoke, Ichika revealed an angry expression, as if Hayakawa were truly an ungrateful and heartless man.
In any case, let's get along well with Hayakawa first. After all, it's pointless to worry about whether Nino or Yotsuba should be with Hayakawa right now. They might not even have feelings for each other yet. If the sisters turn against each other and Hayakawa ends up with another girl, then it would be a loss for both of them.
"Oh, is that so?"
Hayakawa nodded calmly upon hearing this, then said, "Didn't I already buy it?"
Nakano Ichika: "..."
Oh, I just remembered now. Hayakawa did buy cakes, and even bought cakes for five people. She then asked Yotsuba to take them home for the five of them to eat. Itsuki was very happy eating them. However, I didn't think much of it at the time. After all, taking care of Hayakawa that night had nothing to do with me. It was all taken care of by Yotsuba and Nino. Now that Hayakawa mentioned it, I realized that I had already repaid the favor.
Nakano Ichika was speechless, unsure what to say: "This..."
"Ichika,"
At that moment, Hayakawa suddenly said, "I remember you still owe me a favor, don't you?"
Ichika was immediately stunned: "Huh?"
Is this the word I just used?
"During the physical fitness test, you fell on the track while running the 800 meters, and your knees were covered in blood."
Hayakawa looked down at Ichika with a wooden, oppressive expression: "Back then, I carried you to the infirmary, disinfected your wounds, and bandaged your wound..."
"Have you forgotten about this?"
Chapter 384 Goodbye, Yotsuba
Faced with Hayakawa's death stare, Nakano Ichika fell silent.
"this…"
As Ichika recalled her past physical fitness test, the confident expression on her face completely vanished, replaced by shame. She looked away and said, "You still remember something from so long ago?"
"Ah, of course I remember."
Hayakawa looked at Ichika in front of him expressionlessly and said slowly, "Because when I was applying alcohol to treat your wounds back then, you touched my head, so I've always remembered it."
For Hayakawa, being patted on the head is not a way of expressing closeness, but rather a way for a superior to display authority over a subordinate. In particular, being patted on the head by a peer is a form of humiliation, and Ichika's actions are undoubtedly ungrateful.
"Just because of this? It's really strange that you've remembered this for so long."
Nakano Ichika was immediately speechless, unable to quite understand Hayakawa's way of thinking.
Could it be that Hayakawa remembered her older sister's caresses so gently that she still does?
As Ichika thought this, she frowned, hardly believing it herself, feeling that Hayakawa wasn't that kind of person.
"I'm already pregnant with the cakes and desserts I owe you," Hayakawa said calmly. "When are you going to repay the favor you owe me?"
"this…"
Nakano Ichika's eyes darted around slightly, and she said, "How about I treat you to a meal?"
“I see,” Hayakawa’s eyes flickered, and he nodded, “Then you’ll owe me two favors.”
Nakano Ichika immediately puffed out her cheeks in anger: "Why do I owe you a favor when I treated you to dinner?"
"Is there anything else to say?"
Hayakawa stared at her, a look of disgust slowly spreading across his face: "You're a terrible student whose grades are all in the single digits, so of course you can't understand how precious our time is."
"Wait, that's really hurtful."
Ichika grabbed Hayakawa's sleeve, embarrassed and annoyed, and said, "Any other girl would definitely be angry, but I can only forgive you because of my magnanimous older sister."
"Further discussion is pointless,"
Hayakawa silently extended his hand to her: "Quickly repay the favor you owe me."
"this…"
Nakano Ichika hesitated for a moment, but determined to take things further, she stubbornly said, "Just tell me what you want."
"Oh? Anything is acceptable?"
Upon hearing this, Hayakawa's expression shifted, and his gaze deepened.
"Yes, so what!"
Ichika was very assertive, but she noticed that Hayakawa's expression was gradually becoming strange. His condescending manner was very oppressive and even a little frightening.
Huh...I never knew Hayakawa-kun was this tall. This is the first time I've noticed.
Ichika couldn't help but take a step back, a look of hesitation on her face, her heart pounding faster as she watched Hayakawa approach.
What does he want to do... what are his demands?
Could it be... that you're going to do this to me!
"..."
As Ichika watched Hayakawa's increasingly dark and terrifying expression, she felt more and more uneasy. Her heart was about to leap out of her chest, and her pretty face inexplicably became hot.
No way! I'm your future sister-in-law. Doing this kind of thing to your girlfriend's sister is...
"you…"
Hayakawa's lips twitched, and he said, "For the next three days, at noon every day, be responsible for running errands and delivering a bag of fried noodles to me."
Nakano Ichika: "..."
Two seconds later, the stunned girl came to her senses and asked with a puzzled look, "Yakisoba bread?"
"Yes, the one sold at the bottom of the stairs."
Hayakawa said, "I'd like pork floss, or sausage if that's not possible. Thank you."
As Hayakawa described it, he was already planning it out in his mind.
After returning from Hokkaido, Hayakawa became increasingly aware of the preciousness of time, recognizing that every minute and second was a valuable asset for him to overtake others.
Although I worked hard enough in the past, I didn't know how to use my time effectively, which was a huge mistake.
For example, I didn't make good use of my lunch break. I could have eaten fried noodles and bread while studying, but I chose the more time-consuming and laborious cafeteria because I didn't want to queue at the stairwell. Looking back now, it seems incredibly foolish.
I never realized I could save so much time by simply finding someone to run errands to buy bread. Luckily, I've pulled myself back from the brink and turned back before things get too out of control.
And now, errand runners are even delivering to your door.
Hayakawa looked at Ichika in front of him, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
Actually, it's not necessary to buy one. I can ask Fumino Furuhashi and Ogata to buy it for me, or I can give money to my classmates to buy it for me.
However, if we let Furuhashi buy it, I estimate...
"Ugh...why do you want me to bring you bread every day? Won't that give us away? Our friends, Shikahara, will laugh at us!"
As for Ogata, although she would definitely agree with her promise, Hayakawa thought about her pitiful height of 1.4 meters. When she went to the crowded food carts at the stairwell every noon, she probably wouldn't be able to get the bread sellers to see her even if she jumped up. She would definitely be squeezed and shoved around. So she also passed on her.
As for asking someone to run errands, Hayakawa didn't want to deal with people he didn't know well, and giving money to classmates didn't align with Hayakawa's concept of the purity of school, so he decided against it.
And if someone offers it to you, why not use it?
"what?"
Ichika stared blankly at Hayakawa in front of her, tilting her head in confusion: "That's it?"
Hayakawa nodded calmly: "This is it, what else?"
"..." Ichika took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart, but couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment and annoyance.
To be honest, if Hayakawa made an unreasonable request, Ichika would definitely be embarrassed and annoyed, but since Hayakawa made this request, Ichika... would be even more embarrassed and annoyed.
I don't know why, but I just get really angry!
"I...I never imagined Hayakawa-kun would be such a treacherous person!" Nakano Ichika's face flushed red, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I misjudged you?!"
Hayakawa remained silent for a long time, his face full of black lines.
You were the one who did it first.
"If you want to eat it, go buy it yourself. I'm not going to run errands for you!"
Unable to contain her anger, Nakano Ichika disregarded any gratitude towards the infirmary and refused without hesitation. Still somewhat indignant, she grabbed the fanny pack she was carrying and pretended to throw it at Hayakawa.
However, just then, a familiar female voice, filled with surprise, suddenly came from the side.
"Hayakawa-san!"
Upon hearing the voice, Hayakawa and his companion instinctively looked in that direction and saw a spirited, sporty girl with a bob haircut running briskly towards them from a distance, her face beaming with sunshine and a joyful smile.
Four...four-leaf clover?
Nakano Ichika's heart skipped a beat when she saw this person.
How could this be? It's still early. Yotsuba and the others should still be at home having breakfast. How could they already be at school?
"Isn't this Yotsuba?"
Hayakawa greeted the girl who was running towards him.
Chapter 385 Four Parts
"Long time no see, Hayakawa-kun."
Nakano Yotsuba stopped in front of Hayakawa, looked her up and down, and then smiled gently: "I feel relieved to see you so energetic."
Hayakawa didn't put on a zombie face, but smiled almost imperceptibly and replied, "Seeing you like this makes me feel relieved."
"But more importantly, there's something I need to tell you!"
Yotsuba suddenly looked mysterious and pulled a test paper from her backpack: "Didn't we have an English test before the holiday?"
Hayakawa paused, then subconsciously replied, "Uh, yeah."
"I took the exam very smoothly and felt that I answered the questions very well, even scoring around 40 points,"
Nakano Yotsuba grinned sheepishly, then showed the test paper to Hayakawa: "I don't know why, but I got everything wrong and only got four points, hahaha!"
"..."
Looking at the exam paper covered in red exclamation marks and at the idiot Yotsuba with a smug smile on her face for some reason, Hayakawa couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
I can't feel completely at ease even if I retract my previous statement.
Hayakawa took the exam paper and glanced at it, then his vision went black.
This is all multiple choice questions. How can you get four points on a test that's all multiple choice? Even if you chose C for all of them, you still couldn't get four points on a test that's out of 100.
There's only one explanation for getting such a score...
"you,"
Hayakawa looked at Yotsuba with a complicated expression: "It seems you answered seriously."
That's true; even randomly filling in the options gives you a 40% chance of getting it right. Only by carefully selecting each option can you eliminate all the correct answers!
"Of course!"
Yotsuba clearly didn't understand Hayakawa's sarcastic remarks; instead, she thought it was a compliment and put her hands on her hips, becoming even more smug.
