"real or fake?"

Yotsuba glanced up at Hayakawa and whispered.

"Sigh, you've heard this rumor too? Honestly, just how far does it have to go?"

Hayakawa Shiro shook his head helplessly, then explained, "It's just a misunderstanding. Don't believe what others say. Furuhashi and I are just ordinary teacher and student. Right now, my main focus is on my studies."

"Oh, I see! It was a misunderstanding!"

Yotsuba Nakano's eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled and said, "Then I'll tell my friends about this and do my best to stop this misunderstanding from spreading."

"It helped a lot."

Hayakawa Haku's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "Thank you, Yotsuba."

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just telling you, Hayakawa-san,"

Yotsuba Nakano first smiled and nodded, then her expression turned slightly strange as she whispered, "It's the first time I've heard someone talk about dating Fumino, and I feel a little uneasy..."

Hayakawa Haku was taken aback: "Why?"

“How should I put it…”

Yotsuba scratched her head and said in a low voice, "I feel like my two friends are together. Although I will definitely wish them well, it feels like I've suddenly lost a friend. I feel a little lonely."

"..."

Hayakawa Shiro: "Oh."

When did I become your friend?

"But it's okay now that we know it was a misunderstanding,"

Yotsuba Nakano regained her spirits and smiled energetically: "I will definitely do my best to help Hayakawa-san and Fumino get rid of the rumors."

"Thank you so much, Yotsuba."

Hayakawa Shiro was genuinely touched. Looking at Yotsuba in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, then said, "Would you like to come to my room and sit for a while?"

It was just a polite gesture.

Hayakawa thought to himself, it's like when an acquaintance suddenly comes to your doorstep, and the host always says something polite like that.

"Come sit at my house for a while and have a cup of tea."

Then my friend waved his hand and refused.

"Thanks, maybe next time."

Ordinary social pleasantries are ubiquitous in daily life.

Yotsuba offered her help, so Hayakawa Shiro felt he should be polite in return, and then Yotsuba refused, and everything fell into place.

however…

"Eh~"

Yotsuba Nakano froze, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Let's call it a day..."

"Great!"

Suddenly, a cheerful voice came from the side: "I'll go too!"

"Uh…"

Hayakawa Shiro looked over with a confused expression, only to see a pretty face exactly like Yotsuba's, except that her hair was shorter and her temperament was more casual and mature. There was no other difference.

"Ichika?"

Nakano Yotsuba stared wide-eyed at the girl who had suddenly appeared before her, and said, "What are you doing here? Didn't you already go back to your room?"

"I was worried about you. I came out to look for you because you hadn't come back for a while."

Nakano Ichika looked at Yotsuba and teased with a slight smile, "I didn't expect you to be chatting with a boy. I underestimated you, Yotsuba."

"No ..."

Yotsuba blushed instantly and waved her hand as if to explain, but Ichika completely ignored her.

"Hello, Hayakawa-san, I'm Yotsuba's older sister, Nakano Ichika,"

Ichika Nakano greeted Hayakawa: "Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

"Hello, I am Hayakawa Shiro."

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "Hello, Nakano-neechan."

"Just call me Yihua."

Nakano Ichika covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then looked at Yotsuba expectantly and said, "I'm a little embarrassed, but can I come in for tea with Yotsuba? I'd also like to get to know Hayakawa-kun."

Hayakawa Shiro: "...Please come in."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: About Love

"No ..."

Faced with her sister's teasing, Yotsuba quickly lowered her head and stammered, "I just happened to be passing by and saw Hayakawa-san, so I came over to say hello."

"I see, I see. They just came over from the stairs to say hello."

Ichika nodded seriously: "Only occasionally..."

"Well…"

A pale pink blush crept onto Yotsuba's fair face as she covered her cheeks and whispered, "Don't say anything..."

Hayakawa Shiro on the side: "..."

What are those two saying? I can't understand a word they're saying.

Are you coming in or not?

Hayakawa said expressionlessly.

"I'll go in, I'll go in."

Upon hearing this, Nakano Ichika quickly pulled Yotsuba into Hayakawa's room: "Excuse me!"

……

This is a miscalculation, a grave miscalculation on my part.

Hayakawa Shiro looked at the two identical girls in the room and silently filled the teapot with boiling water for them. Instantly, a strange tea aroma enveloped the area below the ceiling.

"There really is tea..."

Nakano Ichika looked at the teapot on the table in front of her with a strange expression, and exchanged a glance with Yotsuba.

It's just a few days of training camp, yet they specially brought a teapot and tea leaves. It feels very strange.

"Hokkaido honeysuckle tea, please enjoy."

Hayakawa poured a cup for each of them using the hotel's disposable paper cups, and then introduced, "It can calm the mind and relieve insomnia symptoms. Please make yourselves at home."

"Okay...ok."

Nakano Ichika and Yotsuba found a place to sit down, looking at Hayakawa Shiro with a hesitant expression.

Hayakawa Haku, adhering to the principle of "if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move," remained silent and quietly sipped his tea.

"Hayakawa-san,"

After hesitating for a long time, Ichika asked curiously, "I heard that you are dating Furuhashi Fumino, the most popular girl in our school. Is that true?"

"Ichika..."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuba hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Why do you all have to ask this?"

Hayakawa Haku said expressionlessly, "I already told Yotsuba that it was a misunderstanding, just a normal teacher-student relationship."

As he spoke, Hayakawa Shiro shook his head helplessly.

These high school students these days are really something. They all focus their attention on gossip and stuff like dating. Shouldn't students be concentrating 120% of their attention on studying? Seriously.

"Oh, it's a misunderstanding!"

Nakano Ichika's eyes lit up, and she excitedly told Yotsuba beside her, "That's wonderful!"

Yotsuba quickly lowered her head, a blush spreading from her face to her neck.

"So you and Furuhashi don't date? What's the truth? You don't have any feelings for her?"

Nakano Ichika excitedly pressed on, "I've met Furuhashi-kun. He's incredibly beautiful, has a gentle personality, and an amazing aura. He's practically the best lover ever."

Hayakawa Shiro: "..."

I'm sorry, I didn't feel any of those things you mentioned. All I felt was frustration at not being able to teach and hatred towards my nemesis.

"No."

Hayakawa Shiro said calmly, "For high school students, studying is the center of everything. Getting involved in romance will definitely affect their grades. People who like to squander their youth in high school will probably reach the peak of their lives during this period."

"Uh…"

Nakano Ichika paused for a moment, then turned to Yotsuba and said, "Now I understand why Itsuki wanted Hayakawa-san to be her tutor so much."

"yes…"

Yotsuba Nakano nodded silently and whispered in agreement, "The way Hayakawa said those words is exactly the same as May's."

"That's just my personal opinion,"

Hayakawa Haku put down his teacup and said calmly, "I don't have any ill feelings about other people dating."

This is a lie; in reality, it was an arsonist who wanted to extort "50,000 yen" from couples he saw.

"That's so boring. High school is a once-in-a-lifetime period of youth. It would be too miserable to just study all the time."

Nakano Ichika looked on with longing and said in a dreamy tone, "If you don't enjoy your youth a little, like romance, Hayakawa-kun will definitely regret it when he looks back on it later."

"Uh…"

Hayakawa Shiro wanted to deny it outright, but seeing Ichika's dreamy expression, she didn't bother arguing with her and said, "If my grades go well in the future, I might relax a bit and have a relationship."

I'll deal with those two nemesis after I defeat them... then we'll see.

"Yes, yes, that's it,"

Nakano Ichika nodded excitedly and then asked, "So, Hayakawa-kun, what kind of girl do you like?!"

Upon hearing this, Yotsuba immediately sat up straight, her ears perking up like a rabbit's.

Hayakawa Shiro: "A girl who is better at studying than me."

"These conditions are way too harsh!"

Ichika, on her birthday, shuddered and exclaimed in disbelief, "Isn't Hayakawa-san ranked first overall? What girl has a higher score than you?! To start with such an illogical request!"

Yes, there are. Ogata Rizu and Furuhashi Fumino, strictly speaking, their grades are better than mine.

But...

My prerequisite for dating is that I defeat those two girls. Once I defeat them, there won't be any girls in Ichinose Academy with better grades than me. In other words, there simply won't be any girls who meet my dating requirements.

Hehehe~ Aside from Furuhashi and Ogata, there couldn't possibly be anyone in school with better grades than me, right?

No one is worthy of being called Emperor Hayakawa.

Hayakawa's face remained expressionless, but his heart had already soared to the clouds.

"Let's choose another one. No other requirements? Something simple."

Seeing Yotsuba's somewhat gloomy face beside her, Ichika quickly said, "Looks, figure, or a great personality, full of energy, good at sports, etc."

Hayakawa Shiro said expressionlessly, "Someone who can teach me how to learn."

"Stop talking about studying!!"

……

"Bye-bye, Hayakawa-kun."
