Fumino Furuhashi smiled, but the sound of grinding her teeth kept coming from her mouth.

Hayakawa Shiro: "..."

"But I wasn't angry,"

Fumino Furuhashi looked at Hayakawa with a forced smile and said, "But I also hope that Hayakawa-san won't be too biased. Well, of course I don't care at all, but if word gets out that Hayakawa-san is doing this, her character will be questioned."

"What exactly do you want?"

Hayakawa Shiro said expressionlessly, "I don't recall ever showing you any favoritism. I'm always fair and impartial to everyone, okay?"

"..."

Fumino Furuhashi stared at Hayakawa for a long time before finally uttering two hesitant words: "Train..."

"tram?"

Hayakawa Shiro paused for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on, and looked at Furuhashi with a hint of helplessness: "You don't want me to give Ogata special treatment, do you?"

"I never said that! Of course, Rizu's studies are very important,"

Fumino Furuhashi quickly denied it, but then her tone subtly changed, and she said in a low voice with a slightly red face, "But only Rizu has individual tutoring time, you can't be so unfair."

"Uh."

Hayakawa Shiro thought to herself, "Didn't you tell me to pretend I didn't know you on the train? Now you're asking me for separate tutoring time. I always teach both of you together. Where am I supposed to find separate tutoring time for you? Do you expect me to sneak into your room in the middle of the night to tutor you?"

Huh? The old bridge's room?!

Hayakawa Shiro had a sudden flash of inspiration, and the image of that blue suitcase appeared in her mind.

Isn't this a good opportunity to check if there are any contraband items in her suitcase? After all, we can just walk into her room openly.

Oh! What a great opportunity!

"Okay, fine."

Hayakawa Haku feigned helplessness and nodded, saying, "Then I'll see if tonight will be okay."

"Well…"

A slight smile appeared on Fumino Furuhashi's face for a moment, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. She raised her head demurely and said, "Hmph, I don't care. I just have no choice but to study."

When did you develop this arrogant and tsundere personality?

Hayakawa Shiro, expressionless, took Furuhashi to the library, where Ogata began his new day of studying.

……

"I'm going to the cafeteria."

Hayakawa glanced at the time and then said to Furuhashi and Ogata.

The cafeteria at Ichinose Academy is very illogical. The biggest problem is the large flow of people. All grades finish class at the same time, and all three grades plus some teachers enter the cafeteria at the same time. However, there are not enough serving counters, which easily leads to long queues and wasted time. Even though the school provides a small shop to help alleviate the pressure, it is still the same. Fortunately, although the cafeteria has few serving counters, there are still enough varieties and types of dishes to prevent people from eating leftovers.

As a result, a unique lunch break scene has emerged at Ichinose Academy: one is the 100-meter sprinter after the bell rings for the last class in the morning, and the other is the student who, unable to get lunch, simply gives up and goes to rest first, then leisurely goes to the cafeteria to eat after everyone else has finished. As a result, the former has led to several cases of students falling and getting injured, while the latter has resulted in many students oversleeping and missing lunch.

Hayakawa Shiro belongs to the latter category. Not wanting to waste time queuing at the cafeteria, she first goes to the library to study, and then goes to the cafeteria at the right time.

As for Furuhashi and Ogata, they would usually go to the convenience store to buy things like fried noodles and bread to have for lunch. Hayakawa used to think that the two of them couldn't eat while studying like him, so they didn't want to waste their precious study time during lunch break to eat, which made him quite happy.

But after the train incident that morning, Hayakawa felt that Furuhashi was concerned about her reputation and afraid that others would find out that she was going in and out of the cafeteria with him.

This guy, Furuhashi, is such a nuisance.

"One barbecue set meal, plus udon soup and a glass of orange juice, please."

Hayakawa Shiro said to the food counter, and after getting his food, he carried his plate away and looked around for a seat.

Although I have been studying for a while, the cafeteria is still very crowded, which shows how much pressure there is on the lunch seats at Ichinose Academy. It seems that the renovation of the cafeteria is imminent.

Hayakawa found a secluded corner and sat down, eating and reviewing vocabulary as he always did.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here?"

A sweet and cheerful voice suddenly rang in Hayakawa's ears.

"It's okay, please sit down."

Hayakawa said something without looking up, focusing intently on the English notebook in his hands.

"You study so hard! I don't think all the students at Ichinose Academy are this diligent."

Someone sat down in the seat opposite, and then a sigh came from behind.

Hayakawa looked up and realized that two girls were sitting in front of her, and they were two cute girls who looked exactly alike.

One girl has silky red hair that reaches her waist, beautiful blue eyes, and a graceful, gentle, and lovely appearance. She has star-shaped hair ornaments on her temples and a serious expression. She is slightly chubby. The other girl wears a green ribbon and has a carefree, energetic smile on her face. She looks very flexible and healthy and full of vitality.

Hayakawa's expression didn't change when she saw May, but when she saw Yotsuba, her expression momentarily faltered.

They're twins.

"You are?"

Hayakawa Haku looked at the two of them and said.

"We are transfer students who transferred to Ichinose Academy yesterday. I am Nakano Satsuki, and this is Nakano Yotsuba."

The girl with the star-shaped hair accessory introduced herself, saying, "Because I didn't know about the school cafeteria, I'm only eating now, and I haven't found a seat yet, so I'll have to trouble you to share a table with me."

"It's ok."

Hayakawa lowered his head and continued studying, seemingly unconcerned: "Do as you please."

Chapter Twenty-One [X] Don't Go Too Far

"Thank you then."

Nakano Satsuki smiled and said, "Hey classmate, what's your name? There's so little food."

"Not much? It's alright."

Hayakawa Shiro glanced at the set meal and soup she had ordered, then looked at May's lunch across the table.

The meal included a large portion of udon noodles, shrimp tempura, matcha cake, and lime sparkling water, plus a separate serving of grilled meat. Compared to other meals, my portion was indeed quite small.

"Hayakawa."

Hayakawa Shiro lowered her head and continued looking at the words, saying casually, "Hayakawa Shiro."

"Then we'll call you Hayakawa-kun. Maybe May and I can be assigned to your class."

Yotsuba Nakano smiled brightly: "Then we'll be classmates."

"It's possible."

Hayakawa Hakudo said, "Welcome in advance."

A faint smile appeared on the handsome young man's face, and the two girls opposite him blushed in unison, their eyes slightly darting away.

"It feels like she's Nino's type."

Nakano Satsuki whispered to Yotsuba next to her.

"...That is indeed possible."

Yotsuba turned her head and whispered in agreement.

What are these two people talking about?

Hayakawa Shiro was a little puzzled by the two people who suddenly started whispering to each other, but after thinking for a moment, he continued to look down at the questions.

"Hayakawa-kun, you study so hard! You must be very good at your studies."

Seeing this, Nakano Satsuki showed a very approving expression; she admired this kind of serious and studious person.

"……well enough."

Hayakawa Shiro's body trembled slightly, and he turned his head slightly to the side: "Let's say he's the top student in the grade in both arts and sciences."

"First place? Really? I knew it."

Nakano Satsuki exclaimed in admiration, but a strange feeling lingered in her heart. Hayakawa's words were odd. High school students were deciding on their majors in their first year, so shouldn't they normally say the scores of the subjects they chose? Why was he saying the total score of humanities and sciences?

"...Sort of."

Hayakawa Shiro felt her body shrinking like Furuhashi Fumino's, and her heart gradually sinking into emptiness. She looked up at the May girl in front of her and asked, "Excuse me, why is Nakano asking me this?"

"Ah... I was just asking!"

Nakano Satsuki waved her hand in a panic, but after hesitating for a moment, she mustered up her courage and whispered, "Actually, I'm looking for a tutor for my sister and me."

"Private tutor?"

Hayakawa Shiro repeated it.

"Yes."

Nakano Satsuki said somewhat unwillingly, "Actually, my sister and I's grades... are really not ideal, so our father arranged for us to come to this school, hoping to improve our grades at Ichinose Academy, which has a great academic atmosphere."

“Father has already changed our tutors several times,”

Yotsuba, standing next to her, nervously touched the green ribbon in her hair and whispered, "But the results weren't very good, so May was thinking about whether to find students in the same grade or something... She felt that only people of the same age could understand each other."

"Yes, that's what I think, which is why I'm looking for high-achieving students at the new school."

Nakano Satsuki nodded, then quickly added, "Of course, a salary will be provided, which will be higher than the salary offered to high school tutors on the market."

"That's it."

Hayakawa Shiro nodded, indicating that he understood.

"That…"

Nakano Satsuki looked at Hayakawa expectantly, her gaze like that of a young deer in the forest mist.

"I'm sorry, I declined."

Hayakawa Shiro shook his head under the disappointed gazes of Yotsuba and Itsuki: "I already have two people to teach, so I don't have the extra energy to teach others."

"...So Hayakawa-san is already working as a tutor? It seems my judgment was good; I found an experienced person right away."

Nakano Satsuki was both surprised and disappointed, and forced a smile as she said, "It's a bit of a shame, but there's nothing we can do about it."

"It's not really a tutoring job; it's a task assigned to me by the school,"

Hayakawa Hakudo: "I'd say it's a mutual learning group."

"Ah, that's it."

Nakano Satsuki remarked, "Those two must have really bad grades. After all, the school has to assign someone to help them. It must be really tough for them."

"..."

Hayakawa rolled her eyes at the girl in front of her with a strange look, and then said, "It's alright, not too hard."

"Then there's nothing I can do. It seems I need to look for other people."

Nakano Satsuki regained her composure and smiled at Hayakawa, saying, "But I still hope to be in the same class as a student like Hayakawa-kun."

"I also hope that."

Hayakawa Shiro smiled gently and comforted him, saying, "There will definitely be another chance."

It's just a consolation, after all, one has to maintain a good public image.

however…

They really are from the same class.

Hayakawa Shiro stared expressionlessly at the red-haired girl standing on the stage, who was giving him a cheerful look as she introduced herself.

"It's really troublesome."

Hayakawa Shiro looked at the girl's sparkling expression and thought to himself.

……

"It's really troublesome."
