"If the speed and progress aren't enough, we can only increase the time, but now the school hours and after-school hours are already saturated,"
Hayakawa Shiro calmly said, "The only thing we can increase is the time after we get home. That's my plan. If we can make good use of this time, I feel there's still a chance."
This is his plan: if there isn't enough time to study, he'll increase the time.
Actually, he had already planned to give up and was ready to pack his bags and head to other high schools to start a new journey. However, Gu Qiao's confession at noon made him realize that his relationship with the two of them was better than he had imagined.
If we tell them the truth directly, perhaps things will turn around.
That was what he thought, so he told Ogata about it.
Surprisingly, Ogata only hesitated for a moment before immediately agreeing.
"I don't have a better way; the only things I can think of are video calls and increasing my study time at home,"
Rizu Ogata said, "But video calls are too troublesome, and studying by myself... doesn't seem very useful, so Hayakawa-kun, your method is the most reasonable, and of course I don't object."
Hayakawa was somewhat surprised: "Is everything alright at home?"
"no problem,"
Rizu Ogata calmly replied, "As long as the reason is valid, no one in my family can control me."
"That's good."
Hayakawa Shiro nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the old bridge next to them together with Ogata.
From beginning to end, neither of them mentioned anything about men and women being alone in a room or the need for proper physical contact, as if such things were not even on their minds.
……
"I didn't mean to force you,"
Hayakawa looked at Furuhashi and said, "Let's discuss this together. If you have a better method, we can use your method. If you don't want to, that's fine too. Although it's a bit troublesome, I can teach you through video call."
Video calls are such a hassle. Just looking at a question would probably require taking lots of photos back and forth, which is definitely not very efficient.
As for a better method…
Fumino Furuhashi pondered for a moment, then naturally gave up.
It's only natural that if she had a way to improve her grades, she wouldn't keep changing instructors.
"Think about it,"
Hayakawa Shiro looked into Furuhashi Fumino's eyes and said earnestly, "I will definitely try my best to teach you, and I will absolutely do my best to help you pass the monthly exam. Believe me."
Well… I’m not thinking about studying right now. I’ve clearly seen the effort you put into teaching us, Hayakawa, in those stacks of notebooks.
Right now, I'm thinking about... things between men and women!
Fumino Furuhashi blushed slightly as she secretly observed Hayakawa's eyes, trying to detect a hint of hentai or evil intent within them.
Although it seems to be entirely for studying on the surface, judging from what you said to me this morning, inviting me to live with you at your home now definitely involves some unknown evil intentions!
But I can't see it.
Not a trace of evil thought could be seen...
Why?! Why does this pervert have such innocent eyes?! It's infuriating!
Fumino Furuhashi was getting a little frustrated because Hayakawa Shiro's bright eyes were full of longing for learning.
It's absolutely a lie. There's definitely a bit of evil in it. How could someone so eager to lure a girl like me, who he likes, to his home, be completely innocent? He must be thinking about doing this or that. I've seen through him!
"This...this isn't quite right."
Fumino Furuhashi put her hand in front of her chest and chuckled dryly, "Won't your parents mind, Hayakawa-san? After all, having two more people suddenly will cause you trouble, right?"
"It's completely unrelated,"
Hayakawa Shiro smiled confidently: "My parents live in another city, and I live alone."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
It's not unrelated at all...
That's so outdated! That's practically a lethal dose of that sentence!
“Fumino, look,”
Ogata Rizu nodded in satisfaction: "This will make it much easier for us to study. The environment is even better than the library, and the efficiency will definitely be much higher."
Shut up, you clueless, emotionless little girl!
"this…"
Unable to find a reason to refuse, Fumino Furuhashi turned her head, her face flushed, and said, "Let me think about it..."
This statement is actually a polite way of saying no.
It still won't work. Even with Rizu around, suddenly living with a guy is not an option.
"That's it..."
Hayakawa Shiro paused for a moment, then looked somewhat lost.
He thought it would go smoothly on Furuhashi's side since Ogata had agreed so readily, but he was rejected again. It seems that the loss of his position as instructor is now irreversible.
but…
I still don't want to lose.
"Ancient bridge,"
Hayakawa Shiro suddenly reached out and grabbed Furuhashi's wrist, looked directly into her eyes, and said seriously, "Please think it over carefully, and then say yes."
Eeeeeeeeeee!
Fumino Furuhashi looked at Hayakawa in front of her in a panic, feeling as if her wrist, which was being held by him, was being pressed with a hot iron.
Agree? Agree to what? Is it cohabitation? Or dating? I could never agree to either!
"I…"
Hayakawa Haku hesitated for a long time, then lowered his head and pleaded softly, "I want to continue teaching you."
"I want to continue being your instructor..."
(I don't want to be second best forever)
"I don't want to give up like this..."
(I want to beat you all!)
"I want to see you all get into the universities you like,"
(That's how I won in the end. After all, winning in the early stages doesn't count as winning; winning the college entrance exam is the real victory.)
"Please believe me, I will definitely bring you happiness."
Hayakawa Shiro raised his head, looked at Furuhashi sincerely, and said, "So, please study with me."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
Although Hayakawa is the type to say shameful things when he gets excited and his fighting spirit is surging, the ambiguity of this sentence was too great, causing Furuhashi to fall into deep thought immediately.
He was confessing his feelings to both me and Rizu at the same time.
Fumino Furuhashi said expressionlessly: Oh well... I'm kind of used to it now.
Even Ogata...
Isn't there something off about what Hayakawa-san said?
Only Hayakawa was still intently watching Furuhashi, hoping to get a reply from her.
Fumino Furuhashi silently turned her head away, remaining silent.
"Let's make this clear first, even if you, Fumino, don't go,"
Ogata Rizu chimed in, "I'll go too. I'm hoping to pass the next monthly exam."
Fumino Furuhashi: "..."
How am I supposed to refuse? Am I supposed to let Rizu-chan move into Hayakawa-san's house alone? That's like entering a demon's castle from which there is no return!
Ugh, seriously, I've felt like Rizu-chan is a traitor ever since, always taking Hayakawa-san's side. When did you two become so close?!
Damn it! !
"..."
Fumino Furuhashi raised her flushed face and, with all the courage she had mustered, uttered a barely audible whisper.
"There should be a lot of rooms..."
"..."
Hayakawa Shiro paused briefly before replying, "Yes, there are three rooms."
……
Ugh, how did I end up agreeing to that?
She's actually going to live with a guy who likes her? Thinking about it calmly, it's like a lamb being led to the slaughter!
I'm such an idiot... Waaaaah~
Calm down, the most important thing now is to find the time machine in the drawer... Ahhh, the desks in the library don't have drawers!
Fumino Furuhashi lay face down on the table, her burning cheeks as if she were about to burn a hole in the solid wood.
I secretly glanced at Hayakawa and Ogata. Hayakawa was earnestly explaining a problem to Ogata Risu. Both of them looked calm and spoke indifferently, without any awkwardness about starting to live together in a few days.
Am I the only one who's having these wild thoughts about men and women?
I feel like a complete idiot...
Fumino Furuhashi buried her head in the table, feeling sorry for herself, and used the cool surface to cool down her burning face.
I'm not an idiot! Hayakawa-kun must be thinking about these things too, he's just pretending to be calm. I know he likes me. How could he be so indifferent if he has feelings for me? He must be secretly overjoyed.
Fumino Furuhashi muttered to herself while secretly glancing at Hayakawa's profile as he intently studied the question.
You see, this kind of seemingly serious person is actually the most lewd at heart. If you think about it carefully, the fact that he can invite two girls to stay at his house without batting an eye is truly remarkable among scumbags.
So it wasn't me who was overthinking that was H, but rather Hayakawa-san whose behavior was so outrageous that it made me overthink.
Thinking of this, Furuhashi's sense of shame returned to normal, and she perked up a little, unable to resist looking at Rizu-chan next to her.
Rizu Ogata is studying a set of reading comprehension questions, meticulously examining each word.
It seems like Rizu-chan is too unguarded when it comes to things between men and women. That won't do. She's so cute, and her figure is...
Fumino Furuhashi narrowed her eyes slightly: As her good friend, I have to remind her to prevent her from being taken advantage of by some hypocritical people because she is too careless.
"Rizu-chan~"
Fumino Furuhashi moved closer to Rizu Ogata.
"what happened?"
Ogata Rizhu was confused: "Fumino."
"Let me ask you something,"
When Fumino Furuhashi saw Hayakawa Shiro looking over, she lowered her voice and asked, "Aren't you worried?"
Rizu Ogata didn't understand: "What are you worried about?"
"I'm going to stay at Hayakawa-kun's house in a couple of days,"
Fumino Furuhashi looked at Hayakawa and said in a barely audible voice, "After all, he's a boy too, so..."
Having said that, Furuhashi waited expectantly for Ogata's reply.
"It's fine,"
Ogata Rizu gave Furuhashi a strange look, then said seriously, "I believe him."
Fumino Furuhashi has been petrified.
Rizu-chan, you're such a deeply hidden green tea bitch! Doesn't that make it seem like I don't trust my friends?!
