Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

"This is the entire content of the multiple-choice questions. You can put it aside for now and memorize it later."

Hayakawa calmly said, "Then next is the first question of the big questions. According to Tanashita-sensei's style, the first question will most likely be about sequences. Combining the sequence knowledge we just learned, it will probably be about summation... It's not a difficult point. You just need to remember this formula and substitute the numbers into it. Hmm... If you really can't, just write down this formula. You should be able to get some points. I'm not sure."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute..."

Upon seeing this, the five sisters complained incessantly: "Hayakawa-san, please slow down a bit, we haven't even understood what happened before."

"Oh."

Hayakawa sighed and said expressionlessly, "Then hurry up."

After saying that, he sat back down on the sofa, half-closing his eyes like a tired old man, drinking water and resting, waiting for the others.

……

Those who haven't studied seriously may not realize that time always flies when you're fully absorbed in knowledge.

After an unknown amount of time, Nakano Satsuki's ahoge (cowlick) twitched slightly, and she looked up in confusion: "What time is it now?"

"do not know…"

Yotsuba had the same bewildered expression, glanced at her watch, and exclaimed, "No way, it's already ten o'clock! How did time go by so fast?"

Ichika couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, this is the first time in my life I've ever gotten so engrossed in studying."

Meanwhile, Nino and Miku were arguing.

"Why are you here too? Didn't you say you were going to rest in your room?"

“Isn’t Erna here too?”

"That's because I was here from the beginning."

"Ninaga, you're so annoying..."

"What did you say?!"

Hayakawa glanced at his watch, then closed the book: "Is it getting late? I should probably go."

Upon hearing this, Ichika's expression changed immediately, and her eyebrows furrowed.

Oh no, I've been so engrossed in studying that I've forgotten my original purpose.

I invited Hayakawa to my house in the first place so that he could get some rest!

But the current outcome is...

Ichika couldn't help but glance at Hayakawa sitting on the sofa. He looked so weak and exhausted, as if a gust of wind could blow him over. He was clearly physically and mentally drained.

How come it has only added more burden to him!

Ichika silently covered her forehead. She wouldn't be surprised if Hayakawa suddenly died at any moment, given his current state. So, all her efforts were just to make Hayakawa die at her home instead of at school?

It seems to have the opposite effect; it made me die even faster!

No, things have come to this point, we have to salvage the situation and keep her here.

Ichika gritted her teeth slightly and exchanged a glance with Yotsuba beside her; the two sisters were of one mind and their plan was in sync.

"Um... Hayakawa-san, would you like to stay the night? You see... it's getting late, and it seems like you won't make the train. You'll need to pack up when you get back, and it'll probably take a long time to sleep. Tomorrow is the final exam, so you won't have enough rest time..."

"How about staying?"

Ichika said casually, but the faint blush on her face betrayed her. What she was thinking was one thing, but saying it out loud was another.

Inviting a boy to stay overnight at her home seems like something only a frivolous young girl would do.

If my agent finds out, he'll definitely think it could cause a public outcry, especially if I ever become a big star...

Ichika faced Hayakawa in front of her, stealing a moment of leisure to mock herself in her heart.

"Do not stay."

Hayakawa refused without hesitation.

"Why?!"

Ichika was immediately devastated. This was the first time in her life that she had invited a boy to stay at her house, and she was rejected like this. Moreover, he came up with so many suitable reasons. It was too much to be so decisive.

You said why... there's still one last tram, isn't there? I can still make it to the tram stop if I hurry, and even if the tram stops running...

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "I can also take a taxi."

Damn it, those annoying rich people!

For the first time, Ichika felt such hatred for capitalist families. She muttered to herself, "If you go home now, it'll waste a lot of your time, and your rest time will be..."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa let out a hearty laugh, as if he were standing on a mountaintop looking down on the mundane lives below. After a long while, he said leisurely, "I just won't sleep."

"..."

That's why I wanted to keep you here!

The first few sentences were all bad news.

Ichika couldn't help but glance at Yotsuba, only to find her looking dazed and anxious, leaving her at a loss for what to do.

That's it. I'm an idiot, and my teammate is an idiot too. No matter how hard two idiots try, it's meaningless.

Just as Ichika and Yotsuba were at a loss, and Hayakawa got up to leave, May, who had been staring blankly at the question for a long time, suddenly reached out and grabbed Hayakawa's sleeve.

"Ok?"

Hayakawa looked down in confusion.

"Don't go to Hayakawa yet."

May stammered, "There are still many things I don't understand. Please explain them to me first."

"..."

Hayakawa remained silent for a long time, looking at May's eager eyes, before slowly saying, "What don't you understand?"

"..."

It seems there are advantages to being a fool.

So, after May's efforts, Hayakawa was harassed for almost another hour. When he finally got up to leave, he found that he couldn't even get a taxi, let alone a train.

"..."

"Ah ha ha"

Ichika, standing nearby, poured herself a glass of milk with a smile: "Now Hayakawa-kun will have to stay the night, won't he?"

"You two aren't doing this on purpose, are you?"

Hayakawa took the milk and drank a sip, then looked at Ichika and Yotsuba with some suspicion.

After all this fuss, even Hayakawa, whose thinking is rather simple and stubborn, felt that something was amiss.

"how could be"

Ichika, with an innocent look on her face, winked cutely at Hayakawa and casually changed the subject, saying, "The important thing now is, Hayakawa-kun, whose card are you going to choose?"

"Which room are you staying in?"

Nino, standing nearby, immediately frowned in displeasure and said irritably, "Ichika, stop saying weird things, the atmosphere is all wrong!"

"Oh…"

Ichika smiled happily, feigning innocence, and said, "Sorry, I misspoke. What I meant was, which room does Hayakawa want to sleep in?"

"..."

It doesn't matter which room I sleep in, as long as there's a place to lie down, even sleeping on the sofa is fine.

"The living room sofa will do."

That's what Hayakawa thought, and that's what he said.

He doesn't care where he sleeps, so he won't disturb the five sisters' sleep. They were all sleeping in their own rooms, but because he's here, they have to make room for him, and then the two of them will have to sleep together, which is a bit inconvenient.

Hayakawa doesn't like to trouble others, so she'd rather sleep uncomfortable herself.

"How is that possible!"

Upon hearing this, Nino's eyebrows shot up, and she stared straight at Hayakawa, saying, "You came all this way specifically to tutor the five of us. As a guest or a friend, how could I possibly let you sleep on the sofa? Are you trying to make us feel rude?"

Nino's tone was stern, even somewhat reprimanding.

“Yeah, right,” May chimed in, “Hayakawa-kun has helped me so much, if you want to sleep in my room… I’d be happy to, no matter how you sleep.”

So I'm just taking a nap, what kind of sleep could I possibly have? You're making it sound like I'm about to do something terrible to your room.

"Uh...oh."

Hayakawa inwardly complained, but the two's actions forced him to take a small step back, and he could only compromise, saying, "Then let's sleep in the room."

"That's more like it. Now, make your decision quickly."

May nodded repeatedly, then turned and walked upstairs: "I'll go upstairs and change into my pajamas first."

How about sleeping in my room?

As soon as May went upstairs, Yotsuba raised her hand and said with a smile, "My room is very clean, and the bed is very soft and comfortable. I can go make the bed now."

"Oh!"

Hayakawa was immediately intrigued. If she had to choose one of the five sisters' rooms, she would definitely prefer Yotsuba's. After all, Yotsuba's relationship with her was different, and she wanted to see what Yotsuba's room was like...

If he could, he would actually prefer to sleep with Yotsuba in his arms, though he can't do that right now.

"You can't stay in Yotsuba's room."

However, before Hayakawa could even nod in agreement, Nino refused on his behalf without hesitation: "It's full of Yotsuba's sports equipment, piled up all over the floor. You might bump into it when you get up at night, and it won't be comfortable to sleep in. If you want to go, go to my room."

"What do you mean, Nino? You're implying that my room is messy, even though it's perfectly clean!"

Yotsuba blushed with embarrassment at Nino's direct criticism, especially in front of Hayakawa. She couldn't help but retort, "Nino, you're the one who's embarrassed. Your room is covered in idol posters, and it smells like makeup. It's so strong that you can't even breathe if you stay there for a while. Your room is the one that's impossible to sleep in."

Nino was surprised by Yotsuba's response and said somewhat angrily, "What's wrong with the smell of cosmetics and perfume? They smell nice. What high school girl doesn't wear makeup and perfume these days? It's because you, Yotsuba, are such a country bumpkin that you can't keep up with the times, that you find it pungent. The strange thing isn't you, it's you!"

"Don't fight, don't fight..."

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was becoming increasingly tense, Ichika stepped in as a peacemaker and said, "If all else fails, you can sleep in my room."

"Shut up, Ichika! Your room is like a pigsty, no one can sleep in it!"

"Ichika, you should probably give up. Your room is just too messy."

The Ichika was sunk.

Nino and Yotsuba argued for a couple more minutes, neither able to convince the other, so they looked at each other and then simultaneously asked Hayakawa, "Which room do you think we should sleep in?"

"..."

This is a battlefield.

"Uh…"

Hayakawa's usually calm face showed an unusual look of embarrassment, cold sweat slowly seeped from his forehead, and he opened his mouth as if to say something but then hesitated.

Faced with this sudden and unusual interrogation, even someone as powerful as Hayakawa was finding it difficult to cope.

How should I answer this kind of question...?

If it were a matter of the heart, Hayakawa's answer would definitely be that she wanted to sleep in Yotsuba's room. But if she said that at this moment, Nino would definitely lose face. A girl who cares a lot about her reputation would definitely not be able to stand being humiliated in public. What if she went back to her room crying? I don't even want to think about how bad the atmosphere would be. And Yotsuba would definitely regret it later, which would cause a lot of trouble.

So Hayakawa couldn't refuse Nino, but she also couldn't refuse Yotsuba. After all, although Yotsuba seemed like a carefree and cheerful girl on the surface, and always seemed happy, Hayakawa knew her well. She knew her delicate heart, which was different from her appearance, and that she actually hid a lot of sad things in her heart. Sometimes, even if she had a smile on her face, only she knew how wronged she was inside.

That night, she was with him and cried countless times in secret, all of which Hayakawa saw... He didn't want to see Yotsuba sad.

But I don't want to see her sad, and I don't want to make the atmosphere awkward... so isn't this a situation where neither side can respond?

"..."

Honestly, it doesn't really matter which room I sleep in, since I'm just lying on a flat surface wherever I am. I don't have any particular preference for where I sleep, so why has it turned out like this?

I told you sleeping on the living room sofa was the right choice!

“Hmm…Hmm!”

Ichika, who had been watching the battle from the sidelines, looked at the two of them thoughtfully for a long time before turning to Miku beside her with a strange gaze and saying, "Miku, Miku, is this what they call a chaotic love triangle in a manga?"

"Huh? Really..."
