Burn bright, Hayakawa! The entire faculty and students of Ichinose eagerly await the return of the king!

"you're awake?"

A familiar voice suddenly came from the bedroom door. Kominami Aizami pushed open the door and walked in. She was wearing a maid outfit and an apron, and it seemed that she had just been preparing lunch for Hayakawa.

She had obviously been busy cooking in the kitchen when she heard Hayakawa wake up and rushed over in surprise. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Hayakawa half-supported on the bed, facing the door like a dying Komodo dragon, her expression extremely ferocious and twisted.

Xiao Meilang Aicheng: "..."

"What are you..."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng was completely baffled. Was she thirsty or needed to go to the toilet?

"Senior, you've come at the perfect time!"

Hayakawa's face lit up when he saw the little girl, Nami Aizawa, and he didn't care why she was in his house. He shouted as if he had grabbed the last straw, "Help me!"

"What...what happened?"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng was startled and quickly came over: "Are you feeling unwell? Your fever should have gone down by now."

As she spoke, she reached out with a worried expression, tentatively trying to touch Hayakawa's forehead.

"Take me to school quickly!"

Hayakawa said weakly, "I have to go to class."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng: "..."

It seems the fever hasn't subsided.

Why are you still going over there?

Kominami Aizami withdrew her hand impatiently and said, "Don't worry about it. Kirisu-sensei has already asked the school for leave for you. You can rest until you are fully recovered."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa's face immediately turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of coal. In his mind, "taking sick leave" was merely an excuse for inferior students to avoid studying. Anyone who took leave from school for minor physical discomfort was, in Hayakawa's eyes, a person lacking willpower. Yet now, he himself had done just that...

Hayakawa's face was ashen; he felt he would never again have the right to face his textbooks with dignity.

"You must be hungry, since you haven't had breakfast."

Little Mei-Nami Aizami had no idea what Hayakawa was thinking. Seeing that he looked unwell and seemed uncomfortable, she said with concern, "I made you lunch according to the taste of my shop. I'll take you there to eat later."

Hayakawa did not answer, her eyes lowered, her heart ashen.

Xiao Meilang noticed that he had no appetite, so she straightened her expression and said, "Even if you don't have an appetite, you should still eat more, otherwise you won't be healthy."

Chapter 109 About the Maid

A strong will is not only about perseverance, but also about having the courage to get back up after a failure.

Hayakawa is like that; ten minutes ago he looked like he was on the verge of death, but ten minutes later he had already adjusted his mindset.

When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on someone, it first tests their will, strains their muscles and bones, and starves their body…

I will repay the humiliation I have suffered today a hundredfold.

While cursing in his heart, Hayakawa kept scooping porridge into his mouth. The egg porridge, with a slightly salty taste, had a delicate, warm, and mild texture and a light flavor, making it perfect for people who were sick to recuperate.

Hayakawa took a couple of bites and then, unusually, his appetite returned. He finished his drink in a few gulps, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Misaki earnestly, saying, "Thank you, senpai."

"Don't worry about the younger generation,"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng shook her head and smiled mischievously: "After all, you are my sugar daddy."

"Uh...oh."

Hayakawa was momentarily stunned before he realized that he was a rigid and stubborn person who often couldn't understand jokes.

“I was terrified when those two female students brought you here last night. You were perfectly fine when we were talking, but then you suddenly became semi-conscious. Why didn’t you tell me then?”

Xiao Meilang Aicheng was still shaken, and then showed a dissatisfied expression, saying, "If you were not feeling well at the time, you should have told me. Dad and I were there, and if you had rested, none of this would have happened."

"..."

Hayakawa remained silent.

Throughout his long academic career, he often got sick and felt unwell. But what could he do when he was sick? Could he stop studying and go to rest? Of course not. So he had long been used to it. He was used to enduring whatever came his way. He was in good physical condition and was an all-around athlete, so he would usually get over a common cold or fever after a while. Last night, he should have been the same. The reason he was so sick was probably because he had taken off his coat and was still running around the temple fair recruiting people.

In short... it's all Furuhashi and Ogata's fault.

Hayakawa's face darkened, and his expression turned gloomy.

As everyone knows, emperors never make mistakes. When have you ever heard of an emperor making a mistake? The ones who always make mistakes are unruly commoners who break the law and disorder, and treacherous officials who disrupt the court.

If they hadn't run off and studied diligently, I wouldn't have been searching for them all over the temple fair. If they hadn't hidden themselves so I could find them, I wouldn't have had to take off my school uniform... In short, my current illness and the breaking of my invincible record of never missing a class are all the fault of Furuhashi and Ogata.

Their crimes are unforgivable. Hayakawa will not let them off the hook. They must be given a whole weekend of exams to prepare for.

"By the way, those two junior girls from last night were your students, Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata, right?"

Seeing that Hayakawa was keeping her head down and not speaking, Ayame Kominami changed the subject, her eyes shining with excitement, and said, "Both of them are so cute! Especially Furuhashi, I really like her type of literary girl!"

As expected, these people did talk.

Hayakawa was speechless for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Senior, you didn't tell them that you were teaching me, did you?"

"Of course not. Telling them this time would be like telling them I often go to their house. How could I say that? Besides, do I look like the kind of person who would say something so careless? Really."

Asami Aizami said matter-of-factly, then rolled her eyes at Hayakawa in an annoyed tone: "Of course I'll keep our affair a secret."

"Senior~"

Hayakawa was moved again, her eyes glistening with tears as she looked at the purple-haired senior in front of her, her wish to protect her for life growing stronger.

"But... did they really stay at your house for a period of time?"

After holding it in for a long time, Xiaomei Aicheng couldn't help but ask in a low voice, but after asking, she felt that her question was stupid. The hair color matched perfectly, how could it be fake?

"Yes."

Hayakawa nodded, raised his head proudly, and said, "I gave them two weeks of intensive tutoring, which improved their grades from hopeless to barely passing."

That's amazing... Such an achievement is truly amazing. The learning process was like playing music to a cow, yet they still managed to pass. Although the greatness of Hayakawa is beyond compare, this is still an undeniable feat.

“…that’s not what I meant,”

Komi Nami Aizami paused for a moment, then revealed a mischievous, teasing smile: "Junior, those two are so cute, and you lived with them for two whole weeks. Didn't anything happen between you two?"

"An accidental discharge?"

Hayakawa fell into deep thought. There were so many. Whenever he tried to teach them and they couldn't understand, he would indeed feel like a flint being struck and sparked.

"I meant that,"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng blushed slightly and said, "In terms of romance, they are so cute, and they trust you so much that they live with you. Don't you have any feelings for them?"

"Uh…"

Hayakawa looked blank, his eyes empty and devoid of emotion; his pure ears could not bear such vulgar language.

How could I possibly have feelings for them? Could being with them bring me the same unparalleled pleasure as studying? Obviously not.

"You might not realize it yourself because you're too close to the situation, but I'm just an observer, and it seems like it's going to be quite interesting to me."

Xiao Meilang recalled last night and said excitedly to herself, "They both care about you a lot. When you were lying on the hospital bed, they were almost crying with worry. They definitely weren't faking it. They trust you, they stayed at your house, and they care about you. From a girl's perspective, this is really promising. They definitely like you a little."

Hayakawa thought to herself, "Isn't it normal for someone to like me? Three-legged women are easy to find in this world, but women who don't like the Emperor are probably impossible to find." So she asked casually, "Uh... they cried?"

"Yes, that's about it. They were all staring at you intently, and they even helped you back home."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng frankly said, "Otherwise, I can't carry a guy like you by myself."

"……Oh."

Hayakawa's expression shifted slightly, then he casually curled his lip.

It was alright... I didn't waste my time with them.

Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, then changed the two-day exam weekend to a single Saturday, reducing the burden by half.

"Don't think about them either, you still have me,"

Seeing Hayakawa lost in thought, Ayame couldn't help but boast, "After those two brought you back, they had to go home because of their families. I took care of you here all night, right by your bedside."

"Right by the bed?"

Hayakawa looked at her: "All night?"

"Um,"

Xiao Mei nodded, then winked and chuckled mischievously at Hayakawa's dazed expression: "Don't mind your junior. I'm used to taking care of people. After all, I'm a top maid, right? It's my duty as a maid to sit by the bed and take care of my master."

Hayakawa glanced at Minami Aizawa, who was dressed in a black and white maid outfit, and said, "Shouldn't maids kneel?"

Xiao Meilang Aicheng's expression froze for a moment, and she asked in a daze, "Is that so?"

Hayakawa was a little taken aback: "So that's how my maids are?"

Chapter 110 Study Session

"Oh? Do you have a maid?"

When Xiaomei Aicheng heard this, she was stunned. Although she already knew that Hayakawa's family must be very rich from her previous interactions with him, the fact that his family employed maids meant that it was more than just being rich. It sounded like another world.

Hayakawa said, "Yes, my family used to be busy, so the maids were in charge of taking care of me."

"Junior..."

Xiao Meilang looked at Hayakawa hesitantly and asked in a low voice, "What exactly does your family do?"

"They're in business, but I don't know the specifics."

Hayakawa straightened up and said seriously, "When I left home, my family said they would take me back if my grades weren't good, so I have to work even harder."

Komi Nami Aizumi fell silent. She didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so she asked, "Junior, how are you feeling? Are you still not feeling well?"

"It's okay now."

Hayakawa raised his arm. After eating something, his whole body felt warmer, and he seemed to be almost recovered. So he said, "I plan to go to school this afternoon."

"This won't do, it's too much of a stretch."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng frowned upon hearing this and said seriously, "From the perspective of a doctor's child, you are not fully recovered yet, and you won't be able to concentrate on your studies at school. You might even feel unwell again later."

Hearing what Xiaomei said, Hayakawa's face turned ugly. Making him skip a whole day of class would be a stain on his reputation for life.

"Ugh…"

Looking at Hayakawa's ever-changing gloomy expression, Aimi Komi stood up helplessly and took off the apron she was wearing: "I really can't do anything with you. Well then, I'll stay this afternoon and tutor you."

"real or fake?"

Hayakawa was overjoyed and reached out to grab Misaki's hand, saying affectionately, "Misaki-senpai... no! Aisumi-senpai! Thank you so much for your kindness, I really want to..."

"Let me go..."

Xiao Meilan Aicheng forcefully pulled her hand back, feeling her face burning and a sense of shame.

I never imagined that the seniority I've always sought would be realized in a place like this. I'm really not happy at all!

"Eat something first, then rest."

To hide her embarrassment, Xiao Meilang quickly ordered, "I need to change my clothes and then take a shower."

"Oh, alright."

Hayakawa had no objections, of course. As long as he could immerse himself in the ocean of knowledge, he would do anything.

As Azumi Kominami removed the accessories from her black and white maid outfit, she entered the bathroom and took off the outfit while running hot water, letting out a soft sigh.

The junior didn't even ask why I was wearing a maid outfit... Didn't she pay any attention to this at all?

Kominami Aizami felt inexplicably disappointed. Although she had only gone to help out at the store for a while in the morning and rushed back in her maid outfit, she hadn't changed because she wanted Hayakawa to see her.

I mainly wanted to tease him a bit. It's the most fun to see someone so serious and earnest being teased into feeling embarrassed and excited.

However, Hayakawa didn't react at all, and didn't even ask about it. Instead, she mentioned her maid a few times.
