"Ah."
Hayakawa felt inexplicably embarrassed, so he quickly took a sip of water to cover it up and looked around at the layout of the Nakano family's residence.
To be honest, it's pretty good. The bright windows, the duplex rooms, and the well-organized living room make the whole house look bright, clean, and uncluttered.
I didn't notice it when I came here before, but now it seems that their family is quite well-off.
"Deng deng deng"
Just then, a hurried sound of people rushing down the stairs came from the stairwell, followed by Nino's exclamation: "Hayakawa-kun!"
Nino came down the stairs, then walked over to Hayakawa in her slippers. She was slightly out of breath before blushing and saying, "You're here."
Hayakawa met her bright eyes for a moment, and felt inexplicably guilty. He lowered his voice and said, "Um, sorry to bother you."
"Don't bother, don't bother."
Nino waved her hands repeatedly: "I heard from Ichika and the others that you came here to help us with our studies. We should be thanking you."
After saying that, Nino smiled, her eyes filled with joy.
She naturally assumed that Hayakawa came for her sake. After all, Ichika said that Hayakawa accepted the invitation immediately, which made it hard to believe that he had already planned it. After all, it was already unusual for Nino to be studying for exams, let alone tutoring someone at someone else's house.
So... Hayakawa must have come for my sake!
"Sit down and rest first. I'll have May get you some snacks."
Nino smiled broadly, already imagining how she would show off her culinary skills and win over Hayakawa's stomach when she cooked dinner later.
"Uh... that's not necessary."
Hayakawa naturally wanted to refuse. He didn't want to eat snacks, nor did he want to take May's things, since she usually seemed to love eating snacks.
Chapter 500 Taking a Bath Together
"it's okay no problem."
Just as Nino was about to speak, she noticed that May had already come down with some food.
"Huh? 焐I (seven) 吧爸VII 溜:易"
Nino was quite surprised to see this: "May, why aren't you usually this generous?"
Upon hearing this, May retorted irritably, "Do I look like such an immature child?"
"Ah."
Nino nodded: "And he's a particularly greedy brat who often eats everything in the house."
Satsuki Nakano: "...Can't we have a pleasant conversation anymore?"
……
The Nakano family's living room has two sofas placed diagonally opposite each other. One is large and the other is small. The large one can seat five people, while the small one can seat at most two people.
It's so noisy.
Nakano Miku quietly sat down in a corner of the small sofa, far away from Hayakawa and the others on the large sofa.
Why did this happen when it was supposed to be a pleasant break after school?
Miku felt quite unhappy. The "Illustrated Collection of Warlords of the Warring States Period" that she had just managed to find online was still in her room, and she hadn't had a chance to read it yet.
As for the tutoring that Ichika and the others mentioned, Miku didn't take it to heart at all.
In her opinion, this was just an excuse for Ichika to call Hayakawa over. After all, Nino's crush on Hayakawa was no secret at home, and all five sisters knew about it. So Ichika was just looking for a reason to call Hayakawa over and give Nino a boost.
Although they said they would tutor together, when the tutoring session actually takes place, it's likely that only Hayakawa and Nino will be alone together, and the tutoring session might not even be a lesson anymore.
It's probably to replenish mana...
Strange terms popped into Miku's mind, and she immediately blushed and lowered her head.
So I guess I won't be involved at all from beginning to end. I'll just go back to my room and read a book later.
Miku was lost in thought, but her gaze remained fixed on Hayakawa, unable to look at him.
For some reason, whenever Miku sees Hayakawa, she can't help but think of the time when he came to visit and she accidentally went to Hayakawa's room in the middle of the night, ended up sleeping on his bed all night, and was eventually carried back to her original room by him. These memories are still very clear to this day, and she will automatically recall them whenever she sees Hayakawa.
It's definitely because I've never experienced something like this before, so the memory is so vivid... It's definitely not because I'm some kind of H girl.
"..."
Miku felt increasingly ashamed as she thought about it, and quickly patted her face gently.
Forget it, forget it! Turn your attention to the warlords of the Warring States period!
Hurry up and start the tutoring session, then let me go back to my room and be alone.
Meanwhile, on Hayakawa's side, Nino, who was sitting next to him, kept chatting with him, and May was also chiming in.
Hayakawa seemed somewhat silent. Although he didn't dislike chatting with the two of them, he was more interested in studying right now.
"Take a shower first."
Ichika suddenly clapped her hands and said, "We've all come back from outside and feel really uncomfortable. Let's take a shower and then start our tutoring."
"Ok, Ok."
Hayakawa immediately nodded in agreement.
Nino was unhappy to hear this. First of all, if she took a shower, she wouldn't be able to continue chatting with Hayakawa, and she was having a good time chatting. She was a little annoyed to be interrupted. Secondly, if she took a shower, she would have to remove her makeup, and Nino felt a little embarrassed to be without makeup in front of Hayakawa.
However, seeing that Hayakawa and Ichika both wanted to take a bath, and that no one else objected, Nino didn't object either, and was the first to enter the bathroom.
"Hayakawa-san, you'll have to take a shower later too."
Ichika said something to Hayakawa.
"Hey? I want to wash too,"
Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, feeling a little reluctant. Taking a bath at someone else's house at such a time was a bit inappropriate for him, so after hesitating for a while, he said, "I guess I won't. I'll write it when I get home later."
"Stop talking, let's go in quickly, otherwise you won't be able to study properly if you're not feeling well."
Ichika smiled sweetly, thinking to herself, "You still want to go home? From the moment you stepped through this door, there's no way you can leave. Be a good girl and stay the night."
When it came to studying, Hayakawa could only nod in agreement: "Uh... okay then."
"If Hayakawa-kun thinks taking a bath is too much of a waste of time..."
Nakano Ichika suddenly blinked, a look of pleasure appearing on her face as if she had thought of something. She leaned closer to Hayakawa and said in a sweet, low voice, "You can shower with me, the bathroom is big anyway."
"..."
"you…"
Hayakawa looked at Ichika expressionlessly: "Are you serious?"
"Idiot, it's definitely fake!"
Ichika clutched her stomach and laughed, giving Hayakawa a playful smile: "Just kidding, how is it? Feeling your heart racing? Hmm?"
"Absolutely not."
Hayakawa looked at him with disdain: "It does feel like my heart is about to stop."
Ichika nodded in sudden realization: "I see. My charm almost killed Hayakawa-kun. I'm so sorry."
Hayakawa's face immediately darkened; he knew he couldn't win an argument with this person.
"Ah ha ha"
Seeing Hayakawa's dark expression and the look of impending violence, Ichika quickly stood up and fluttered away like a butterfly, also calling away May, who was stuffing snacks into her mouth like a hamster.
……
"What's wrong, Ichika?"
May mumbled, "I'm busy providing food for Hayakawa... Ugh, don't disturb me while I'm doing my work."
"I think you're busy feeding your stomach!"
Ichika looked at May's bulging mouth, her face expressionless, thinking to herself, "You didn't react at all when I was talking to Hayakawa just now. You're completely controlled by snacks and don't hear anything else."
"how could be?"
May blushed and retorted, "I was planning to use my own sense of taste to select the best snacks for Hayakawa as a way of thanking him for coming to help."
"It seems you're really grateful to him."
Ichika's tone was somewhat complicated as she looked at her younger sister's face.
It wasn't until this moment that she noticed May also had faint dark circles under her eyes, making her look like a little panda. Sitting with Hayakawa, they could easily be described as a panda father and daughter, or a panda brother and sister, like a zoo scene.
Although it wasn't as serious as Hayakawa's case, it still proves that May has been staying up late to study these past few nights.
You're working so hard, it must be for the final exams.
"Of course I'm very grateful to him; he came to help me at the most crucial moment."
May's eyes shone with piety as she clasped her hands together and raised them in the air as if in prayer, saying, "My God... no, Lord Hayakawa, I will forever remember your kindness."
Is this some kind of exaggerated claim?
Ichika's face immediately darkened. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then I'm sorry, May. We called Hayakawa over today... not actually for studying."
"???"
Chapter 501 May Wants to Be Put to Sleep
"Did I hear that right, Ichika? You're not here to study? Then what's Hayakawa-san here for?"
Nakano Satsuki couldn't help but show her disappointment. She thought Hayakawa had other things to do and couldn't teach her anymore. Although she wasn't angry about it, she was still a little disappointed.
"It's not...it can't be explained in a single sentence,"
Unable to explain clearly, Nakano Ichika leaned closer to May and whispered, "Actually, Hayakawa-kun... came to sleep."
"Huh? What are you saying?"
Nakano Satsuki was immediately filled with confusion, her apple-shaped face showing utter bewilderment: "Sleep? What do you mean? Can't I sleep in my own house?"
May was puzzled when she saw Ichika's slightly strange expression. Suddenly, she didn't know what she was thinking, and her face turned bright red: "Huh?! Does sleeping mean that?"
"Ok?"
Ichika was taken aback at first, but when she saw May staring intently at her body, she immediately understood and blushed, scoffing, "What are you talking about!"
"Don't joke around, Ichika! There are five people in your family!" Nakano Satsuki's mind went blank, and she didn't even know what she was saying. After stammering a few words, she resolutely avoided Ichika's gaze and gritted her teeth, saying, "Even if you want me to study, I will never agree to that! Absolutely not!"
Nakano Ichika: "..."
"I have no idea what you're thinking..."
Ichika looked at May with a strange expression: "How exactly do you think of going to a place like that?"
May looked stunned: "Huh? It wasn't you... Hayakawa came over to sleep, so I..."
"Ugh…"
Ichika sighed deeply and slowly recounted how she had met Hayakawa after school that day and how she had invited him to tutor her because she was worried about his health, fearing that May might misunderstand something again.
"Wh...what? Oh, I see."
Satsuki Nakano breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said to Ichika with a hint of annoyance, "You should have explained things more clearly from the beginning."
Ichika said expressionlessly, "Even if a normal person doesn't know the details, they wouldn't misunderstand to this extent."
"Well…"
Nakano Satsuki blushed and avoided eye contact, quickly changing the subject: "By the way, how should we get Hayakawa-kun to sleep later? Should we let him study after he takes a bath, and then arrange for him to stay overnight?"
"That definitely won't work. Hayakawa-kun is unlikely to choose to stay overnight; he'll probably go straight home after finishing his lessons."
Ichika said earnestly, "Then if he goes home, he definitely won't sleep well, he'll stay up all night again, and he'll suddenly die the next day, and then..."
"I understand, I understand, please don't talk about such terrible things anymore,"
May trembled slightly, a look of fear on her face, and whispered, "I understand, so the point is to let Hayakawa-san sleep peacefully at home, right? But even so, do you have any good plans?"
"Hmm...yes, there are...but..."
Nakano Ichika hesitated, and Satsuki was puzzled by her expression. Ichika then magically produced several items.
"This is a spray that can make someone faint with just one spray,"
Ichika took out a can of spray with a very strange and dangerous packaging and said, "The effect is very strong. Just spray it twice on Hayakawa's face and he will immediately fall to the ground unconscious."
