Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Natsukawa Masaki pouted, uninterested, and said, "This is boring."

It's because you have such decadent thoughts that I was able to catch up with you.

Hayakawa grinned crookedly, glanced at the game on the field and found it even more boring, then turned around and said, "Let's go, this is no fun at all, let's go somewhere else."

"Eh~ Ya da~"

Natsukawa Masuzu said in a coquettish tone, "There's nowhere else interesting at school, so I'm not going to the library."

"you…"

Hayakawa stopped in her tracks: "How did you guess I was going to the library?"

Natsukawa Masaki calmly replied, "Is there any need to guess?"

"..."

Hayakawa remained silent for a long time. The thought that his mind had been read made him realize the deep crisis, so he said, "Then let's go out for a walk. You see, there are shopping streets and such near the school."

"My car is parked right in front of the school,"

Natsukawa Masaki followed behind him, saying, "I'm going to get in the car and go home as soon as I step out the door."

"Why don't you just have the driver wait for you?"

Hayakawa replied matter-of-factly, "It won't be long."

"No."

Natsukawa Masuzu gently shook her head, then looked up at Hayakawa: "That's my husband's driver, but not my driver."

Hayakawa paused for a moment, then nodded: "I see..."

So, does that mean even as the daughter of the family, she can't order around a driver? ...This isn't a driver; it's more like someone sent to spy on her.

"Uh…"

Hayakawa scratched his head. He had never been interested in other people's families, but he easily noticed Natsukawa Masuzu's situation during their time together.

Her relationship with her parents seems to be more than just strained; it's not at the level of conflict, but rather like that of strangers.

So pitiful~

Hayakawa looked at him with pity and shrugged indifferently.

Well, it has nothing to do with me.

"Then I'm going home."

Hayakawa coldly waved his hand, intending to abandon Natsukawa Masuzu. To him, Natsukawa Masuzu was an unstable factor. Her appearance made her an easy target at school, and her family environment was a vortex from which she could easily get caught. In short, she was a huge source of trouble.

Previously, I had to endure humiliation because of my defeats, but now that I've surpassed her, I naturally don't need to suffer any more humiliation. It's best to minimize contact with her.

"Eh? Let me watch a little longer~"

With her hands on her hips, Natsukawa Masuzu said in a sweet voice, "Basketball girl, huh? Aren't both basketball and girls things that boys like?"

Who would like these?

Hayakawa remained expressionless and sneered, "Let me tell you first, I have absolutely no interest in either basketball or girls, let alone this kind of thing..."

"The blue team has made a substitution."

"Number Seven, Yotsuba Nakano!"

"Ahhh?!"

Hayakawa lunged forward and landed on top of the hurdle, staring intently inside. In his eyes, he immediately saw a short-haired girl wearing a cool basketball uniform with a green ribbon.

"Haha! Thank you so much!"

She laughed loudly and waved vigorously at the cheering audience around her. Her small, rosy face was full of energetic and cute smiles. From her actions and expressions to her words, she revealed a kind of innocent foolishness, giving people the feeling that she was guileless and easy to bully.

Who else could it be but Yotsuba Nakano?

Hayakawa: "..."

His eyes... gradually lost their luster, turning into two eternally dark black holes.

I clearly told her not to associate with the girls' basketball team anymore, and to join the club seriously. But what is she doing now? She's actually participating in a competition.

Although the school hasn't approved the Astronomy Department's application for activities yet, the department has already made arrangements, and that's no excuse for her to be so reckless.

How dare you escape my control?

Hayakawa's face darkened; the once obedient Nakano Yotsuba in his mind was gradually transforming into a formidable villain.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. How could a truly good child possibly get single digits in every subject? They definitely didn't study hard!

"Why are you back?"

Natsukawa Masuzu came to his side, tilted her head and smiled, "Didn't you say you had absolutely no interest in basketball or girls?"

"I suddenly feel like taking a look."

Hayakawa silently watched the smug, oblivious piece on the field, who was completely unaware of its impending doom. He then looked around the field.

"Let's find a place to sit for a while."

……

"Ahhh~"

"Yotsuba-chan is so fast!"

"Three points!"

……

"Hmm~ Is this girl Nakano Yotsuba? Your friend?"

Hearing the cheers around her, Natsukawa Masuzu stared wide-eyed at the cute girl who was dominating the court and said, "Pretty impressive, right? We were behind before, but she turned the tide very quickly after she came on. She looks like she could compete in a real match."

"Ah, this guy is incredibly simple-minded, but has excellent physical abilities."

Hayakawa looked at Nakano Yotsuba, who was sweating profusely but still had a joyful smile on her face, and said, "This level is pretty normal for her, isn't it?"

His academic performance is just a bit too poor.

"Oh, they look so cute!"

Natsukawa Masuzu stared wide-eyed at Yotsuba, her face slightly flushed, and said, "She's such a cute girl."

"Don't get any dangerous ideas."

Hayakawa's eyes showed utter disdain.

At that moment, the loud whistle signaling halftime suddenly blew, and the players on the court, who had just been in a tense atmosphere, immediately separated. Some wiped their sweat, while others returned to the basketball hoop to drink water and chat. Some even walked in groups, seemingly heading to the convenience store.

Hayakawa had no eyes for anyone else but Yotsuba. He saw Yotsuba say something to their captain and then sneak off toward the back of the gymnasium next to the basketball court.

What is she doing over there?

Hayakawa was slightly taken aback, but followed without hesitation.

Chapter 191 The Discovery of Four-Leaf Clover

The two followed Yotsuba to the back of the stadium, then twisted and turned across the lawn, arriving at a corner that Hayakawa had never seen before.

It was long after school had ended, and there was no one at the school gate or inside the teaching building. Naturally, the secluded area behind the stadium was even quieter, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the swaying of branches.

Then... suddenly a clear, crisp sound of flowing water rang out.

"Huh? What?"

Hayakawa peeked out from the corner of the wall and saw Yotsuba standing in front of a tap that was sticking out of the ground. After she forcefully opened the tap, clear water gushed out. She caught it with her hands, patted it on her face, and showed a comfortable expression.

"It's so cool here!"

Yotsuba Nakano carefully washed her hands and face, then rinsed her sunburned arms. The cool touch relieved a lot of the heat and fatigue she felt after exercising.

"It's really cool here."

A voice suddenly came from the side.

"Right~"

Yotsuba Nakano nodded eagerly, saying proudly, "This is a great place I discovered."

"Wow, that's impressive. You managed to find such a hidden place."

"Haha! Because I'm always wandering around the school, I just happened to find this place~"

Yotsuba Nakano became even more smug, and her nose even seemed to grow longer.

"Hey~ You'd rather run around the school than study, huh? You're something else."

The voice became ambiguous, as if it were a half-smile.

"Hmm? Studying?"

Yotsuba froze for a moment, then suddenly realized something and her face turned deathly pale. Her head twisted to the side, like a stuck cassette tape.

She saw Hayakawa's smiling face.

Yotsuba Nakano: "..."

Ichika, I'm not coming home for dinner tonight.

Good evening.

Hayakawa squinted at her and said calmly, "Yotsuba-chan."

"Good evening, Hayakawa-kun."

Yotsuba's heart skipped a beat, and she stammered, pointing to the setting sun in the sky: "It's not evening yet... probably."

"Really? I was just being polite."

Hayakawa nodded expressionlessly: "Your judgment of time is really accurate."

Nakano Yotsuba swallowed hard: "You...when did you arrive?"

Hayakawa: "When you come on stage."

"Ahhh! Isn't that right at the very beginning?"

Nakano Yotsuba immediately showed a look of horror.

"Yes, I watched it all. Your performance on the court was quite impressive, both in passing and positioning, and your shooting was also good."

Hayakawa blinked and said with admiration, "You're much smarter than me when it comes to studying."

"Sorry…"

Nakano Yotsuba lowered her head and apologized softly: "The club president insisted on letting me participate in this competition... She begged me for a long time, and said that this was the last time they would bother me again. I really couldn't refuse, so I had to agree."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Hayakawa stood silently with his hands in his pockets for a long time, then looked up at the sky and suddenly smacked his lips: "Why am I suddenly a little thirsty? I want to drink some water."

Yotsuba was startled and immediately flipped herself out of the water. She nervously held the water in her hand and looked at Hayakawa, not daring to speak or give it to him directly.

"...Yotsuba."

Hayakawa looked at him strangely, then softened her expression and asked with concern, "How old are you this year?"

Yotsuba was a little confused by Hayakawa's behavior and cautiously asked, "Ten...sixteen years old?"

Why is it a question?

"You're sixteen years old! You're so old already, how come you're still so immature?"

Hayakawa shook his head, looking at Yotsuba with a hint of helplessness, his eyes filled with pressure: "Do you think I can't buy myself a drink?"

Nakano Yotsuba's hand holding the water trembled slightly, her gaze fixed blankly on Hayakawa, whose body was shaking uncontrollably.

I was... I was bullied!

The rhetoric is exactly the same as that of delinquents in Korean dramas about school bullying; this is clearly bullying!!

"Really."
