"Four leaves."
At that moment, Ichika suddenly said, "Why are you at school so early? Are Nino and the others here too?"
"Nino and the others should still be at home,"
Upon hearing this, Nakano Yotsuba's expression changed slightly, and she looked away as she said, "The reason I came so early today is because... I got up too early."
Seeing Yotsuba's guilty look, Ichika narrowed her eyes and said, "Oh, I thought you came to school to look for me because you found out I wasn't there."
"Ah, yes, that's right!"
Yotsuba's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this, and she nodded repeatedly: "I came to school quickly because I was worried about you, Ichika."
"..."
Hayakawa, standing to the side, remained expressionless, unaware of what the two were up to.
"Hayakawa-kun, Yotsuba is lying about the abandoned forest spirit, Fushimi Saki."
Ichika leaned closer to Hayakawa and whispered in her ear, "As the older sister, I can tell at a glance!"
Even I, an outsider, could tell at a glance.
Hayakawa was speechless, then suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Yotsuba, "Oh, by the way, Yotsuba, do you have time during your lunch break?"
"Hey, lunch break?"
Yotsuba looked at her strangely: "I do have time, but we don't train at noon. Is there something wrong?"
"That's perfect."
Without hesitation, Hayakawa entrusted her with the important task of buying bread.
Since Ichika is so resistant, I can only find someone else. Anyway, Yotsuba has so much energy that she can't use it all up, so I might as well make good use of her body.
Moreover, idiots don't need to study; they have plenty of time.
"Could you please help me with this during my lunch break..."
Hayakawa was about to speak when Ichika, standing next to him, quickly covered his mouth.
"Wait."
Ichika Nakano reached out and covered Hayakawa's mouth.
"Hmm? Hmm?"
Hayakawa silently turned to her, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Don't bother Yotsuba."
Nakano Ichika blushed and lowered her voice so Yotsuba wouldn't hear, "Let me buy it for you."
Hey, what are you doing?
Hayakawa was immediately filled with questions: Just now you said I was trying to repay your kindness and refused to agree no matter what, why did you suddenly change your mind? It makes no sense.
Nakano Ichika silently avoided Hayakawa's gaze. She herself didn't know why she suddenly covered Hayakawa's mouth... It was just that the moment she subconsciously realized that Hayakawa was going to trouble Yotsuba, her body made an action without her knowing why.
However, one thing is clear.
Nakano Ichika glanced at Yotsuba, already understanding the situation.
Why did you come to school early because you were worried about me? I didn't even receive a message on your phone. Yotsuba must have been missing Hayakawa so much that she couldn't sleep, so she got up early in the morning and rushed to school.
Seriously, am I watching some kind of angst-filled campus romance drama?
Nakano Ichika felt a pang of sadness, heartbroken for her sister's first love, and then let go of her hand.
"that?"
Standing in front of her, Yotsuba was taken aback by Ichika's actions. She hesitated for a moment before asking, "You two... is something the matter?"
"Should we...?"
She bit her lip and said softly, "I'll excuse myself for a moment."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, hahaha,"
Seeing Yotsuba's complicated expression, Nakano Ichika felt a pang in her heart. She moved away from Hayakawa as if to hide her unease, then smiled and went to Yotsuba's side: "Yotsuba, it's about time we went back to class for evening self-study. It's getting late."
After saying that, she came up behind Yotsuba and pushed her towards the classroom.
"Huh? Oh,"
Yotsuba looked at Hayakawa with some reluctance, but still left with Ichika. Before leaving, she waved goodbye to Hayakawa: "See you later, Hayakawa-kun."
Hayakawa stood there watching her walk away, and after she disappeared from sight, he stood there for a while longer before leaving.
……
If Ichinose Academy is Hayakawa's territory, then Class B of that year is his palace, and Diethyl Ester, the second to last student by the window, is undoubtedly his throne.
During the short holiday, the throne remained empty for a single day, and the entire Ichinose region was shrouded in darkness.
And today, the world welcomes his return.
"Boom"
The booming sound was the sound of Hayakawa sitting down, and the entire class trembled as if they had suddenly gained a backbone, becoming radiant.
"Ugh."
Hayakawa sighed contentedly, put his schoolbag aside, and took out his textbooks.
A caged bird longs for its old forest, a fish in a pond yearns for its former deep pool.
After many days, I'm back in this place that makes me feel at ease, but my state of mind is quite different.
Good morning, Mr. Hentai.
The sound, seemingly coming from nowhere, caused Hayakawa's face to darken abruptly. He slowly turned his head to look to his right.
His deskmate, Natsukawa Masuzu, came into view.
"What did you just say?"
Hayakawa, his face dark, slowly said, "Say it again if you dare."
"Oh dear, was my voice too soft and you didn't hear me? Let me say it again,"
Natsukawa Masuzu covered her cherry-like mouth with a surprised expression, then chuckled and said, "Hayakawa-san, the pervert who forcibly took two girls to the coast during the entire holiday, and did countless terrible things while eating and living together."
"..."
I didn't ask you to expand the meaning of the word.
Chapter 386 Souvenir
Why is he so sarcastic after only a few days apart?
"..."
Hayakawa looked at Natsukawa Masaki beside him with a silent expression.
"Why are you looking at me with such a dangerous gaze? It's so cold."
Natsukawa Masaki showed a wronged and frightened expression, shrinking back: "Could it be that you've forgotten your wife back home after spending a few days playing with some wild woman? Men really are the most heartless creatures in the world."
"..."
Where did you learn these words? I didn't do anything, but you said it like that and I feel inexplicably ashamed.
"call…"
Hayakawa took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, "What do you want?"
Natsukawa Masuzu took out a small notebook and kept fanning her face as if the classroom was hot in the dead of winter. She stared at Hayakawa for a long time before finally saying, "Kiss me..."
Hayakawa's eyes widened as if pricked by a needle, staring dumbfounded at Natsukawa Masuzu in front of him, and he said incredulously, "What did you say?"
I said kiss me!
Natsukawa Masuzu was initially blushing slightly, but seeing Hayakawa's reaction, she gained confidence and said matter-of-factly, "You have to kiss me for as long as you've been out together."
Her voice was raised a little, attracting the attention of the students next to her, their eyes filled with curiosity.
There's a saying that goes, "If you're not embarrassed, then it's others who are embarrassed." In the current situation, Natsukawa Masaki isn't embarrassed at all; it's Hayakawa who's embarrassed.
"hiss…"
Hayakawa gritted his teeth, a surge of anger welling up inside him, causing his face to turn red to his neck.
What a shame.
At this moment, he was incredibly grateful that Natsukawa Masuzu was an unattainable beauty in the class, with no friends at all. If she were a social butterfly like Furuhashi Fumino, classmates would probably have come over to ask her about it, and he didn't even want to think about what she would say.
Hayakawa suppressed his rising anger and said in a low voice, "Are you kidding me? I went out with them for a whole vacation, almost a week."
"A week?!"
Natsukawa Masuzu's eyes widened: "How shameless! Kissing me for a week, are you trying to get me pregnant?"
"You're the one who has no shame!"
Hayakawa felt a wave of dizziness, and his fist gradually hardened.
Natsukawa Masaki blushed, fidgeted for a while, and then lowered her head and whispered, "Sorry, although I'm a little tempted, a week is still too long. I don't plan to eat red bean rice right now, so... maybe I should shorten the time a bit?"
Red bean rice is the food that newlywed wives in Japan eat the day after their wedding.
"……Ugh."
Hayakawa looked at her expressionlessly, then sighed helplessly and said, "Stop messing around, Natsukawa. I just got back from out of town. Let me have some peaceful school days, okay?"
"Hmm?" Natsukawa Masuzu smiled gently at Hayakawa: "You went on a trip with another woman for a week, and when you got back to school, instead of coming to see me right away, you went and flirted with the quintuplets from the next class. Are you expecting me to turn a blind eye to such despicable behavior?"
"..."
It turned out to be because of this.
"I'm still quite angry right now, and if you want me to forgive you,"
Natsukawa Masaki smiled slightly, then pulled a card out from under her skirt: "Come with me to a place in a couple of days."
Hey, where did you pull that out from?
Hayakawa blankly took the piece of paper, only to realize that it was something like an invitation to a comic convention that a nearby place was preparing to hold.
Hayakawa frowned slightly, looked at it carefully, and then noticed a cartoon character with black lines all over his face and an exaggerated and strange hairstyle in a conspicuous place on the card. He suddenly realized what it was.
I knew beforehand that Natsukawa Masuzu was a huge fan of a famous manga called JOJO, so it seems that's why she went there.
"I'm going there this weekend, Wuqibaba Mingqi Liuyi, will you come with me?"
Natsukawa Masaki raised her snowy chin and spoke arrogantly, as if a princess were ordering her servants.
Hayakawa didn't say anything, but silently put away the invitation, his face ashen.
Another day off is going to be wasted.
My heart aches so much…
Hayakawa silently clutched her chest, as if she had lost something precious, while Natsukawa Masuzu smiled smugly to the side.
The difference between the two is obvious.
……
The pleasant morning self-study session ended quickly, followed by the first period. After the first period, Hayakawa was preparing to organize the class content and supplement his notes when May, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came over.
"Long time no see, Hayakawa."
May greeted the student in front of Hayakawa, then sat down in that person's chair, turned around and gave Hayakawa a bright smile: "Was Hokkaido fun?"
"May."
Hayakawa wasn't surprised by May's arrival. May had just entered the classroom when morning self-study was almost over. When she saw Hayakawa, she looked excited and seemed ready to greet him. However, she was almost late and had to start the first class soon, so she didn't come over.
Now that class is over, she couldn't wait to come.
"It's alright," Hayakawa replied, a smile creeping onto his face as he saw May's smile. "It's quite interesting, with lots of sights to see."
“No, no, I meant the local food,” Nakano Satsuki said with shining eyes, “There must be lots of all kinds of seafood.”
"Uh…"
Hayakawa's face darkened. As expected, May is still May, always the first to pay attention to this kind of news.
