Hayakawa sat down next to Minami Aizawa. As soon as he sat down, Minami Aizawa leaned against him slightly, but her eyes remained focused on the story.

Hayakawa watched along, and saw the female protagonist running frantically through the streets at night, with several companions beside her struggling to survive. Behind them, a horde of zombies was chasing them through the slums. The background seemed to be a subway entrance in a bustling city, where a massive number of infected people were pouring out of the underground exit, clearly indicating that the area had become a living hell.

Fumino Furuhashi seemed a little nervous and suddenly said, "I once read a popular science article that said that if a zombie crisis breaks out, subway tunnels are actually a very important hiding place. Because in order to prevent people from accidentally falling in, subway tunnels are usually isolated from the outside world, and they are also interconnected and lead to many places. So if you want to go to other places during a zombie crisis, taking a subway tunnel is a good choice."

"Oh…"

Upon hearing this, Minami Aizami pondered for a moment, seemingly wondering what a subway tunnel would look like. After all, Japan is a country with a large number of trams, and trams are the main mode of transportation. Therefore, neither Minami nor Furuhashi had ever ridden the subway.

"That sounds pretty good."

Komi Nami hesitated for a moment: "But there must be many problems, such as lack of water and food, and we might get lost. Walking in complete darkness for too long would be too psychologically damaging, not to mention eye problems, and then..."

"That's not all," Hayakawa said quietly from the side. "The subway tunnels are cleaned regularly, but because they are so big, it's a very troublesome thing. So it's inevitable that there are some small animals in there. There are all kinds of insects, and of course, there are also a lot of rats."

"Alas"

Both Ayame Ominami and Fumino Furuhashi showed expressions of disgust. There are probably few girls who don't hate these two kinds of animals, especially Ayame Ominami, who hates rodents to the extreme.

"Then forget it, I'm definitely not going through the subway tunnel."

"Yes, I'd rather go outside and fight zombies than face rodents."

"Fighting zombies?"

Hayakawa glanced at the petite but arrogant Misaki-senpai and thought to himself, "Someone like you can only fight zombies in Plants vs. Zombies."

"But if we can't use the subway tunnels, what other ways are there for us to get to other places in the zombie world?"

Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but start a discussion: "The city's traffic must be completely blocked. Land transportation is probably unusable, and there's basically no way to get around by air or water. So, we can only walk, which is too dangerous. So, if a zombie suddenly jumps out from some corner, the whole story is over."

"Can't I use a bicycle?"

Komi Nami Aizumi suggested.

"I feel that the level of danger is no different from walking. At least walking is quiet, while cycling makes noise."

Fumino Furuhashi shook her head: "Besides, bicycles can break down. If the chain falls off at a crucial moment, that would be too terrible."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng immediately deflated: "It seems so..."

Chapter 575 Giving Birth to a Little Beauty

“I’m saying…”

Hayakawa listened for a while and was puzzled: "Why are you all thinking of running around? There are zombies outside. Shouldn't you stay at home and wait for rescue? Running around outside will not only make it difficult for the rescuers to find you, but it will also put you in danger. It's completely unreasonable."

TV dramas are similar. Many zombie shows, in order to make the plot more dramatic, will arrange a reasonable situation, such as the protagonist's companion being injured in the leg, stabbed, shot, suffering from a high fever, a cold, acute appendicitis... any illness will do, as long as they need medicine. Then the protagonist takes a few carefully selected warriors out to find medicine and food. In the end, we know how many people go out, but we can't be sure how many will come back. It's possible that none of them will come back, which is no different from sending them to their deaths.

Most horror movies are like this; the protagonist must leave the shelter, otherwise the plot can't continue if the protagonist remains in a safe environment.

"Um…"

Upon hearing this, Ayame Komi and Fumino Furuhashi glanced at Hayakawa simultaneously. Although they didn't say anything, they rolled their eyes in unison and thought to themselves, "Men are so heartless."

While we must admit that Hayakawa has a point—that waiting for rescue at home is the most sensible thing to do when it is dangerous outside—humans are emotional beings and sometimes they may act irrationally.

For example, if a real crisis occurs, and the two of them are defending themselves at home, but suddenly find that Hayakawa seems to be in danger, can they make a rational judgment? They would definitely be unable to resist going to save her, right? That's why Fumino Furuhashi and Azumi Kominami are discussing how to go out, while Hayakawa questions whether it's best for them to stay at home. This is also a difference in personality between boys and girls.

Boys are generally more rational, while girls are relatively more emotional. Therefore, when they are emotionally agitated, they may do things that are unreasonable and irrational. Boys will think more, but once they make a decision, they will be more determined and stubborn.

Even though he's heartless, if I were really in danger... Hayakawa-san would probably come back to save me, right?

Fumino Furuhashi thought to herself, unable to resist stealing a glance at Hayakawa. But then, for some inexplicable reason, the "terrible" things that had happened when she was alone with Hayakawa flashed through her mind: being held and kissed in his arms, Hayakawa slipping inside her clothes, and then…

"boom!"

Steam billowed from above Fumino Furuhashi's head like boiling water from a kettle, turning her into a steam princess with her face as red as a blooming flower.

Keep a calm and peaceful mind... Forget all these memories!

Fumino Furuhashi screamed inwardly, took a deep breath, and then turned her attention to the screen.

In short, let's watch the TV series first.

After watching the TV series for a while, time seemed to stand still, and the girls started yawning constantly, clearly exhausted. Hayakawa turned off the TV and told the two girls to go to sleep.

"Guqiao, are you sure you don't want me to sleep with you?"

Little Mei-Nami Ai-Sumi, her small body clutching her pillow, leaned against the door, looking at Furuhashi in the next room with concern: "It's okay if I sleep with you."

"It's alright, don't worry, senior."

Fumino Furuhashi smiled and shook her head: "I'm not a child anymore. I won't have insomnia if I sleep alone. You should go to sleep."

Seeing this, Ayame Komi didn't insist: "Alright then, sleep well, goodnight."

Goodnight, senior.

"Good night."

Hayakawa said something and then went back to his bedroom to sleep.

"Good night, Hayakawa..."

A night without words...

……

The next morning at eight o'clock, Hayakawa got up on time and went to the bathroom to wash up like an automatic robot. The early morning drowsiness and need for a nap that others experience simply did not exist for him. As long as he woke up, he was full of energy.

After washing up, Hayakawa went into the kitchen to make breakfast. Today was the day he was supposed to go to the Nakano family to tutor those five idiots, so he needed to leave early. However, he couldn't leave the two people at home alone, so he could only make breakfast for three people.

After finishing cooking, Hayakawa ate his own portion first, then tidied up his prepared teaching materials and was about to leave when he saw Fumino Furuhashi's door suddenly open. Fumino Furuhashi, still sleepy-eyed, yawned as she walked out. Upon seeing Hayakawa, she was somewhat surprised: "Hayakawa-kun, you're up so early."

"Ah."

Hayakawa nodded and then said, "I made breakfast for you and Mimi-senpai. It's on the table in the living room. Go and eat it later. If it's cold, just heat it up."

"Oh, alright."

Fumino Furuhashi nodded, then looked thoughtfully at Hayakawa's attire and said, "Are you going out...? Are you going to Yotsuba's house to tutor her?"

"you guessed right."

Hayakawa took out her handbag and said seriously, "These are the test papers and exercises I prepared for her."

"Oh... I see."

Gu Qiao looked at the handbag, which was packed full, and thought to himself, "Thank goodness you said it was filled with rolls, otherwise I would have thought it was filled with cement. It's so full."

It seems like Yotsuba is in for a treat this holiday.

"I know, then go ahead."

Fumino Furuhashi saw Hayakawa to the door and said, "Have a safe trip."

"Ah."

Hayakawa turned around and said something before leaving.

As Fumino Furuhashi watched Hayakawa's departing figure, she suddenly felt something was amiss.

Well... I felt like Hayakawa and I were a married couple just now. Hayakawa went out to work, while I was a stay-at-home writer and a hobbyist, getting up early every day to cook and then seeing him off... But today he made breakfast, and given Hayakawa's family's financial situation, he probably wouldn't be working a nine-to-five job like that.

Fumino Furuhashi's face flushed slightly, a mixture of confusion and longing. Because she lost her mother at a young age and her father treated her coldly, she had always yearned for a happy family, just like the one she had always dreamed of.

If only it could really be like that...

Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but daydream: herself and Hayakawa, the two of them...

"Oh"

Just then, Ayame Komina pushed open the bedroom door and came out. Seeing that she was walking unsteadily with her eyes closed, it was impossible to tell whether she was asleep or awake. When she got to the bathroom door, she saw Furuhashi and asked in confusion, "Furuhashi... what are you doing standing at the door?"

When Fumino Furuhashi saw her sleepy-eyed, adorable koala-like senior, her eyes lit up, and she murmured, "Yes, it would be even better if I could have a daughter as cute as you, senpai..."

Xiao Meilang Aicheng: "???"

What did you just say?

……

Hayakawa went out and went to the nearby tram stop to go to the Nakano house.

Chapter 576 Group Leave of Absence

After boarding the train, nothing happened along the way, and Hayakawa quickly arrived at the Nakano Five Sisters' neighborhood. It was exactly 8:45 a.m.

There were still fifteen minutes until the agreed-upon time of nine o'clock, and I would only have five minutes to get to their doorstep at most, which meant I could arrive ten minutes early, perfectly in line with social etiquette and be punctual.

Hayakawa was very satisfied with his sense of time. Before long, he took the elevator into the building and knocked on the door of the Nakano Five Sisters' house.

"dong dong dong"

After the knocking, there was no response.

Hayakawa smiled and knocked twice more, but the only response was the chirping of birds outside the corridor window.

"..."

Hmm, that's strange. Could it be that I remembered the date wrong?

Hayakawa frowned, took out his phone, and checked the date again, realizing that he hadn't made a mistake.

But why is no one coming to open the door for me?

Just as Hayakawa hesitated whether to knock on the door again or call the girl inside, the door suddenly opened, and a small red head with a cowlick poked out.

Good morning, Hayakawa-kun.

The charming and adorable Miss May, with her serious and old-fashioned personality, peeked out from inside and whispered to Hayakawa, blushing, "You're here so early."

"It's not early at all; it's the agreed time now."

Hayakawa showed no awareness of being a guest or a male, and bluntly criticized May: "Why did it take you so long to open the door for me?"

"Haha, because...because?"

Nakano Satsuki looked embarrassed, chuckled, and thought for a while before saying, "Because the knocking was too soft, I didn't hear it?"

Why is it a question sentence?

Hayakawa was speechless, but too lazy to say anything more. He put on his slippers and went inside, saying to May as he walked, "Come on, let the five sisters come over. The appointed time has arrived, it's time to begin."

"Wait, Hayakawa-san..."

May followed closely behind, hesitant to speak, but she couldn't stop Hayakawa at all.

"Come on, it's time to study!"

Hayakawa entered the living room, spread his arms, and shouted.

However, there was no response, because the living room was empty... there was no one there.

"..."

Why is there no one here?

Hayakawa turned his head to look at Nakano Satsuki with a blank expression. His expression was calm, but the ferocity within him was gradually revealing the scales and claws of a deep-sea monster.

"Ah...this."

Nakano Satsuki silently turned her head away: "Because everyone suddenly encountered something beyond their control, they were forced to leave."

"Huh? Are you kidding me?! How can four people encounter an unavoidable emergency at the same time? And even if such an event did happen, what about you? How come you're alright?"

Hayakawa frowned, finding it hard to believe, and said, "Are you going to tell me that all four of them suddenly had an accident, and you're the only one who's alright?!"

"Really? And don't say anything about something going wrong, it's so unlucky."

Nakano Satsuki said somewhat anxiously, "It's a long story, let me explain it to you one by one."

First, there's Miku. She had some mild cold symptoms these past two days, but they suddenly worsened last night. Not only did she collapse, but she also infected Nino, who was taking care of her. So this morning, Mr. Ebata drove her to the hospital for an IV drip.

"Are Nino and Miku sick? What a coincidence... I hope they're alright."

Hayakawa frowned slightly. It wasn't surprising that they caught colds in this cold weather; Furuhashi had also caught a chill. So Hayakawa nodded in understanding: "Okay, I accept their reasons for taking leave. What about the other two?"

"I'm not too sure about Ichika."

Nakano Satsuki scratched her head: "But this morning she suddenly said that something very important had come up and asked me to ask for leave for you, but she was vague and didn't explain the reason, so I don't know either."

"Oh, is that so…"

Hayakawa pondered for a moment, recalling how Nakano Ichika used to stroll around with him at temple fairs.

She did seem to have her own things to do, but whether it was starting a business or forming a band, it was her own business and had nothing to do with Hayakawa. However, it was something very important to her, so Hayakawa had nothing to say about her reason for taking leave.
