Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Hayakawa Shiro rested his chin on his hand, looked up, and said something.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

Fumino Furuhashi, standing nearby, immediately felt a pang of sympathy, her face showing a wronged expression. She lowered her head and whispered an apology: "I'm so sorry I was so clumsy..."

"I wasn't talking about you."

Hayakawa rolled her eyes at Furuhashi and said, "It's just that a transfer student came to our class."

"Did you get a transfer student in your Class B too?"

Fumino Furuhashi said with some surprise, "Our Class A is the same, and she's an incredibly beautiful girl, so cute that even I, a girl, am smitten."

"is it?"

Hayakawa Shiro sighed, "It seems the school is recruiting students early."

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

Uh…you should care a little more. I said there's a super pretty girl here, a girl who would even make my heart flutter. Normally, most guys would get a little excited if they heard that a pretty girl was transferring to their school.

Fumino Furuhashi didn't quite understand Hayakawa. A transfer student was coming, and a beautiful girl at that. Shouldn't a normal boy be excited? Why was he so slow to react?

Could it be that:

"Me? I have absolutely no sexual desire for any girl other than Fumino Furuhashi."

"Well…"

Fumino Furuhashi silently covered her burning face with her hands, lowered her head, and remained silent.

Hayakawa-kun, don't go too far. Even if you do this, no one will be happy.

Fumino Furuhashi mentally cheered herself up, then regained her composure and asked curiously, "What kind of transfer student is in Hayakawa-san's class?"

"She's a woman too,"

Hayakawa Haku yawned: "He even tried to talk to me."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi smiled gently: "Explain yourself clearly."

"nothing,"

Hayakawa Shiro rubbed his sore shoulders and said, "She wanted me to be her tutor, but I refused. I couldn't help it; I already have the two of you, so how could I have time to teach someone else? I had to politely decline."

Fumino Furuhashi lowered her head and remained silent.

I told you not to go too far!

Chapter Twenty-Two: [X]'s Heartfelt Words

Hayakawa-san is really going too far!

After taking a bath, Fumino Furuhashi lay on the bed hugging her sleep bear, her pretty face slightly flushed as she complained about Hayakawa.

Saying those things was clearly an attempt to boost his own popularity, and it seems he even wanted to boost Rizu's popularity as well. The word "excessive" doesn't even begin to describe him.

Recalling the scene on the train that morning when Rizu chose to abandon her and go find Hayakawa, Fumino felt that something was wrong, but then thought that she was just overthinking it.

In short, it's all Hayakawa's fault!

Fumino Furuhashi punched her poor sleeping bear repeatedly, beating it as if it were Hayakawa Shiro to vent her anger and embarrassment. But after a few punches, she hugged it back to her arms.

"dong dong dong~"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Rizu-chan?

"coming."

Fumino Furuhashi got out of bed, reached out and opened the door, and then saw Shiro Hayakawa standing outside the door in her pajamas.

"Oh, I'm here."

Hayakawa Hakudao.

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

Pushing the envelope?

Fumino Furuhashi's eyes became vacant. She only gained a little favorability and now she wants to come into my room tonight? Does she really think she can just crawl into my bed? Don't get your hopes up.

"prohibit!"

Fumino Furuhashi reached out and blocked Hayakawa's attempt to enter, quickly using her body to shield Hayakawa from the doorway. She looked at Hayakawa with a wary, thief-like gaze: "What are you doing here?"

"Didn't you ask me to come?"

Hayakawa Shiro said in confusion.

"Hehe, when did I ask you to come?"

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi almost laughed in anger. "I let you into my room in the middle of the night? Even lies need to be logical."

"On the tram, you asked me to find time to tutor you privately."

Hayakawa Hakudo said, "It's only tonight."

"..."

Fumino Furuhashi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Hayakawa's hands, which held a pen, paper, and textbooks, and immediately looked a little embarrassed: "It seems that there really is such a thing."

"To learn or not to learn?"

Hayakawa Shiro said expressionlessly, his tone already leaning towards leaving.

"I want to learn, please let me learn."

Fumino Furuhashi quickly stepped aside: "Please tutor me in my studies."

Hayakawa Shiro entered the room, and Furuhashi Fumino closed the door. After all, she was the one who asked Hayakawa to give her special treatment, so she couldn't let Riju know, otherwise she would feel unbalanced.

This is Fumino Furuhashi's little secret.

The two sat down on one side of the desk, maintaining a polite distance from each other, but Fumino Furuhashi still felt that the atmosphere was strange.

After all, it's 11 p.m., and it's a man and a woman alone in a room. They would definitely feel awkward and uncomfortable.

Fumino Furuhashi felt her face burning up again, but seeing Hayakawa Shiro's completely calm expression, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

Honestly, if I didn't know your true nature, I probably would have really thought you were a gentleman. I don't know what terrible things would have happened then. Luckily, I was careful; otherwise, I would have definitely been fooled.

Fumino Furuhashi thought to herself, and then listened to Hayakawa's lecture.

"Since it's one-on-one tutoring, we should talk about something special, otherwise it's meaningless..."

Hayakawa Shiro's voice was soft and slow, with a tone that was easy to hear. Her gentle breathing fell on Furuhashi, making her feel a slight itch on the top of her head.

I usually get tutored together with Rizu, but now I'm getting tutored alone. It feels so strange...

Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but glance at Hayakawa's face, which was so close to hers, and listen to his soft voice as he spoke. Her heart skipped a beat for a moment.

In that case... the efficiency would definitely be higher than tutoring two people.

That's just how I feel.

Fumino Furuhashi blushed, her heart pounding, and she could only try to concentrate on listening to what Haku Hayakawa had to say.

But... it's simply impossible.

Just thinking about how it's just me and Hayakawa in this room makes it impossible for me to calm down!

How to do?

Fumino Furuhashi covered her burning hot face: My head is about to explode!

"That's how science works; it requires systematic thinking,"

Hayakawa Shiro was earnestly delivering the lecture he had prepared during the day when he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. Looking over in confusion, he saw Furuhashi Fumino resting her head on his shoulder, motionless.

"Fell asleep?"

Hayakawa Shiro remained expressionless, his eyes instantly becoming empty and deep.

I used my sleep time to give you extra help, but you were sleepy and didn't study. How could there be such a wicked woman in this world?

"No…"

Ancient bridge, Wennai Road.

"Not asleep? Then what are you doing..."

Hayakawa Shiro frowned, about to say something, but then suddenly remembered something and sighed, "You must be tired from studying. Then take a break."

After saying that, he sat still and stood there, acting as a support pillar for Fumino Kohashi.

I'm sorry, Hayakawa-san, it's not that I'm tired of studying.

Fumino Furuhashi thought to herself, then reached out and touched her feverish face, feeling utterly hopeless.

But you absolutely can't see my face, which is as red as an apple, so this is the only way.

I'm so sorry!! I'm extremely sorry for wasting your time that you used to catch up on lessons, but if you see this expression on my face, I won't have the courage to live in this world anymore.

Fumino Furuhashi silently prostrated herself before Hayakawa in her mind, but her body remained completely still.

"You must be under a lot of pressure."

Hayakawa Shiro suddenly said softly, "I understand, I understand."

Fumino Furuhashi felt a jolt in her heart and remained silent.

"I've been through the same thing. I would prepare hard before each exam, be incredibly nervous during the exam, and hope to get a satisfactory result afterward, but the final result was always disappointing. I know what that feels like."

Hayakawa Shiro's tone was calm yet melancholic: "If you don't pass this monthly exam, the school will revoke my instructor qualification. Although I'm not sure how well I've taught you, seeing that you're willing to ask me for individual tutoring, it seems that I've done a decent job, which puts my mind at ease."

Fumino Furuhashi shifted slightly, but did not look up.

"If you're willing, even if the school revokes my instructor status, I will still continue to teach you,"

Hayakawa Shiro said in a low voice, "I don't really care about that school's guaranteed admission spot, so you and Ogata don't need to feel too much pressure. Just treat it like a regular monthly exam. It's just that the school will most likely find you a new advisor, which is a bit troublesome..."

"I'm well rested."

Fumino Furuhashi suddenly looked up and moved away from Shiro Hayakawa's shoulder.

"..."

Hayakawa Haku looked at Kohashi with a puzzled expression.

"Let's continue studying."

Fumino Furuhashi said with a smile.

"...Oh, then let's continue."

Hayakawa Haku nodded, then resumed the lesson.

The night is getting darker.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Genius Meets the Five Xs

Nothing impure or exciting will happen during private tutoring before bed, since Hayakawa Shiro has no interest in romance, which is perfectly understandable.

"Although studying before bed is a bit tough for you, it's quite efficient,"

On the way to the cafeteria during lunch break, Hayakawa Shiro sipped his juice and said to Furuhashi next to him, "If you'd like, you can have it every night from now on."

"Hayakawa-san, please keep your voice down! We're at school right now. If someone hears us, things will get really bad!"

Fumino Furuhashi blushed slightly, lowered her voice to remind him, and then said somewhat shyly in a low voice, "If you don't have any objections, of course I can too."

"Then it's settled. But should we tell Ogata about this?"

Hayakawa Shiro nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "After all, I am also an instructor, so I should try to treat everyone equally."

"Oh...I see. Of course you can ask Rizu-chan, I have no objection."

Fumino Furuhashi's smile was somewhat forced, her fingers intertwined behind her back: "But Rizu-chan goes to bed very early every day and has a very regular schedule. Wouldn't studying before bed be too strenuous for her..."
