Nakano Yotsuba looked at Hayakawa with a serious expression, but her tone was as emotionless as if she were reading aloud: "I really want Your Highness to save me."
Hayakawa: "..."
What nonsense is this guy spouting?
"Can you get up by yourself?"
Just like dealing with a child's prank, Hayakawa bent down and extended a hand to her.
"Yay, I've been saved!"
Yotsuba paused for a moment, then cheered and stood up, grabbing Hayakawa's hand: "Thank you, Hayakawa-san."
"You didn't sprain your ankle."
Hayakawa rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go back. It's been a long time. They should be done by now."
"Well, it's time to go back."
Yotsuba wore a satisfied smile and followed half a step behind Hayakawa, calling out loudly, "Hayakawa-kun! Can I add you on LINE?"
"Ok?"
Hayakawa was taken aback for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "Sure."
"Can you give your LINE account to my sister?"
"Uh...okay, I guess."
……
Chapter 45 Studying in the Self-Study Room is Full of Disasters
It's here! The moment we've been waiting for has finally arrived!
Hayakawa walked into the study room with his backpack on his back. As soon as he entered, he glanced around at the surroundings and then nodded in satisfaction.
Quiet, clean, and bright, it's a great place to study.
As expected, the focus of a wilderness study camp is still "study". You have to secretly work hard when everyone else is relaxing in order to surpass them.
"Jie Jie Jie~"
Hayakawa almost let out an excited, strange laugh, but quickly covered his mouth and hurried towards a deserted corner of the study room.
"Huh? Hayakawa-kun?"
As he passed a desk, a voice suddenly called his name. Hayakawa turned around in confusion and saw two identical Nakanos.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa looked confused for a moment: These two are Nakano... I can't tell for the time being.
"Oh, it's one flower and May."
After only a brief moment of surprise, Hayakawa recognized the two by their hairstyles and headdresses, and asked, "Are you here to learn too?"
"No, I'm just here to sit with May for a while,"
"Calling Hayakawa Ichika over with a smile, then complained, "She insisted on coming to study. She's already come to the outskirts of the city, shouldn't she have wandered around and enjoyed the fresh air and the world outside? Instead, she insisted on coming to a study room. What a waste of her rare free trip."
"Free travel..."
Hayakawa's face instantly turned ashen.
"It's not a free trip, it's a wilderness study camp,"
Nakano Satsuki blushed and earnestly corrected, "The focus is on studying, not going out to play."
What a good boy.
Hayakawa's expression softened, and his gaze toward Nakano Satsuki became increasingly amiable.
"Whatever you want~"
Nakano Ichika pouted, then said to Hayakawa, "Hayakawa-san, please sit here. I have something I'd like to talk to you about."
"..."
Hayakawa wanted to refuse, as he preferred studying alone. However, since they had already invited him, he couldn't find a reason to refuse for the time being, so he could only nod and sit down next to the two girls: "Then I'll have to bother you."
"Speaking of Hayakawa-kun,"
As soon as Hayakawa sat down, Nakano Ichika leaned close to his face with a mischievous grin and whispered, "What did you do to Nino last night?"
"Nino?"
Hayakawa recalled the girl with the black butterfly hair ornament and asked in confusion, "What? What did she do?"
"Don't you understand? That would be strange,"
Ichika wrinkled her nose slightly and said, "When I was chatting with Nino today, she suddenly said that it's good to have good grades, and even told May to find a tutor as soon as possible. She used to hate studying and was always very resistant to tutoring, but her tone changed suddenly today. I think it must be related to you. After all, May has been mentioning that you should be a tutor. Nino's words were basically implying that she wanted you to be a tutor, so I think it must be because you met Nino last night."
"Ok?"
Hayakawa frowned after hearing Ichika's words.
Last night, all I did was help May find Nino in the jungle and then send her back... It's nothing, right?
But Nino actually wants me to be their tutor?
This... I'm sorry, but I can't refuse.
Teaching this idiot is already beyond my capabilities, and I really can't teach five more idiots. I'm not some old man raising gourds.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa couldn't help but glance at May beside him, only to see that although she pretended to be studying seriously as if nothing had happened, her eyes were actually showing a pitiful pleading look, clearly indicating that she didn't want him to tell anyone about what happened last night.
No wonder, because if others knew that she was so scared that she abandoned her sisters, she would be laughed at for a long time.
"..."
Hayakawa hesitated, unsure how to answer.
"They must have run into Nino during the test of courage, since Nino was outside around that time last night,"
Seeing that Hayakawa remained silent, Ichika Nakano guessed, "Did you meet Nino, who was scared, in the jungle and become friends with her? Is that why she wants you to come to our house as a tutor?"
"Didn't you already tell me everything yourself? Do I need to say anything more?"
Hayakawa made a sarcastic remark, then turned to look at his textbook. He was terrified by Ichika's terrifying insight.
"Is it true?"
Nakano Ichika's pupils contracted slightly, and she pursed her lips slightly.
She had only been guessing before, but Hayakawa's reaction had unequivocally confirmed it, which was troublesome.
Because Nino's behavior today... was a bit off.
Well, according to Ichika's opinion, Nino seems to be having some romantic feelings, and she seems quite serious about it. Unlike before, when she would like this or that idol on TV, she seems to be genuinely smitten.
Ichika initially took it as a joke, since it's always a good thing that her sister has someone she likes. Yotsuba, on the other hand, was also very happy when her heart started to flutter.
But when she vaguely realized who Nino was attracted to, she couldn't smile anymore.
Yotsuba has someone she likes, that's good; Nino has someone she likes, that's good; they both like the same person…
This is a bolt from the blue!
These are sisters! From an ethical standpoint, this is a very serious matter.
"..."
Ichika felt her brain was overloaded. She thought of Yotsuba, who seemed unusually depressed since the morning, and her heart was filled with conflict.
If Nino really likes Hayakawa too... then who should I cheer for?
Ichika: "..."
Looking at Hayakawa, who was studying diligently, Ichika felt that she had encountered the biggest problem in her short life.
"Ah...this question?"
At this moment, May suddenly showed a troubled expression.
"where?"
Hayakawa reflexively put down his pen and looked over: "Which question don't you understand?"
"Eh?"
Nakano Satsuki was startled when Hayakawa suddenly appeared next to her, her face turning bright red: "Hayakawa-san? You're standing too close."
"Ah... I'm sorry."
Hayakawa realized what was happening and moved away expressionlessly, saying, "I'm used to it."
"It's okay, it's okay,"
May waved her hands repeatedly, blushing as she whispered, "Instead, if Hayakawa-san could explain the problem to me, it would be a huge help."
"Uh… okay then."
Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, then looked at May's textbook: "What don't you understand?"
"This is."
May pointed to a math problem, and Hayakawa glanced at it and immediately frowned.
Is this question really from a high school math question bank? It feels like a middle school math question.
Forget it, get used to it.
"Listen, the problem states there are three odd numbers..."
Hayakawa glanced at it twice and said without hesitation, "Then even numbers are... odd numbers... even numbers... odd numbers..."
May listened quietly from the side, her initially confused face gradually revealing a hint of understanding.
Ichika, standing next to her: "..."
Should I also learn a little bit...?
Chapter 46 The Crimes of [X]
As evening approached, Ichika and May left the study room.
"Bye-bye, Hayakawa-kun."
Ichika smiled and waved to Hayakawa: "Thank you for teaching May."
"Thank you, Hayakawa-san."
May blushed and thanked them quietly.
"fine."
Hayakawa didn't look up, continuing to look down at the questions, and the two girls left.
Hayakawa: "..."
Before I knew it, I'd been teaching for ages. I couldn't help it; it's muscle memory now. I just can't resist pointing fingers at idiots.
"Why did this happen..."
Hayakawa sighed, "I really wanted to study on my own."
"Don't say that, you seem to enjoy teaching too."
"Absolutely not okay,"
Hayakawa shook his head and said, "It's just that I've gotten used to teaching people."
"Really? I don't think so."
