Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

It's hard to imagine the shock this moment brought him; his powerful body and revitalized spirit were like a rebirth.

He even felt that he could now surpass Ogata Furuhashi in the exam!

Could it be that I've always been unable to beat them in exams because of lack of sleep?

"I see…"

Hayakawa muttered to himself, his fist suddenly clenched so tightly it exploded in the air, and fire instantly blazed in his eyes, his fighting spirit burning fiercely.

His exceptionally good condition brought him to an unprecedented level, and he couldn't wait to give Fumino Furuhashi and Rizu Ogata a big fight!

[Emperor Hayakawa fought a great battle with two Dark Sovereigns to the very edge of the universe, obliterating even the Great Dao.]

"a ha ha ha…"

Hayakawa imagined himself on equal footing with them, and his mouth was practically crooked from smiling.

"Ahem... It's a bit early to think about that now."

Hayakawa coughed twice, a rare hint of embarrassment on his face: "In short, let's go all out with the exam papers first."

Let's get right to it! Mini test papers, come and try out my giant ballpoint pen!

Hayakawa appeared in front of his bedroom closet in a flash. After opening the closet, he started rummaging through a compartment and pulled out a stack of test papers that was as tall as his upper body.

"In short, I'll stop writing here for tonight."

Hayakawa held the exam papers and looked up at the ceiling. If all the papers were taken out, they would probably reach the ceiling. However, it was impossible to finish them in one night. Besides, he had just learned the benefits of getting enough sleep, so he needed some time to sleep.

"Hmmmm"

Hayakawa was humming a song happily, just about to take the test paper to the living room to study it properly, when the doorbell suddenly rang from the entrance hall. Startled, he stopped in his tracks and the test paper scattered all over the floor.

"Who?"

Hayakawa was furious. Tonight was supposed to be his time to indulge in his pleasures with the Imperial Concubine, the Examination Paper. Didn't he know that he was already burning with lust? How dare she disturb him?

"You're dead without a legitimate reason."

Hayakawa Kidou threw the test papers on the ground, then stepped on them and strode toward the door, his face full of gloom.

If the person who comes doesn't have a legitimate reason, then that person is doomed!

"Ding dong ding dong"

The doorbell was still ringing when Hayakawa arrived at the door. He glanced at the door with a hint of anger in his eyes, then pressed the handle with one hand and pushed it open without hesitation.

"it hurts!"

The sound coming from outside the door made Hayakawa frown slightly.

This voice... it feels kind of familiar.

As soon as the door opened, a girl with long, flowing hair and a black butterfly hair ornament was standing some distance away from the door. She was covering her red nose with one hand, and her pretty face was full of pain. She had obviously been bumped by the suddenly opened door.

"Ok?"

When Hayakawa saw the girl, his grip on the doorknob loosened, and his brows furrowed.

This girl…

Something feels off.

"It's me, it's me, Hayakawa-kun."

The girl rubbed her nose, enduring the pain, and smiled at Hayakawa, pointing to herself and saying, "I've come to see you."

Hayakawa looked at her coldly: "Who are you?"

The girl froze, her wide eyes blinking in disbelief. "Huh? Don't you recognize me? Hayakawa-san?"

Hayakawa's expression remained unchanged; he simply shook his head.

"Huh? Reason? Why?"

The girl with the black swallowtail butterfly tilted her head, first looking at Hayakawa's injured knee, then at her head. After a moment of thought, she suddenly realized and tapped her palm, saying, "Could it be that the knee injury caused a fever, which then damaged her brain?"

Hayakawa, expressionless: What does a knee injury have to do with a fever? It's your brain that's getting fried!

"It's me? It's me."

The girl pointed to herself with one finger and showed Hayakawa the black swallowtail butterfly hair accessory with the other: "Can't you see this hair accessory? I'm Nino."

"..."

Hayakawa looked at the girl in front of him, first glancing at her hair, then his nose twitched slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"So it's Nino."

He said.

Chapter 416 Four-Leaf Clover Delivered to Your Door

"So it's Nino."

Hayakawa nodded and stepped aside: "Come in."

Nino couldn't hide her delight. She quickly lifted her skirt and entered the room, saying, "Excuse me!"

"So late? What are you doing here?"

Hayakawa found a pair of guest slippers for Nino in the entryway cabinet, then led her through the hallway back to the living room, asking as they walked, "And how did you know where my house is?"

"Oh dear, I came to see you specifically because of... cough cough, because Yotsuba hurt her knee today,"

Nino stammered as she spoke, then added, "And I found out your address from a friend."

"Oh I got it."

Hayakawa's heart skipped a beat, but he remained outwardly calm and simply nodded.

Some people think they are the best, believing they have many friends at school who must have attended classes at their homes, so they naturally say they know the address from a friend and think they won't be discovered.

But in fact, Hayakawa knew perfectly well whether she was a social butterfly or not. Apart from the principal, teachers, and graduate Ayame Ominami, only three people at school knew her address: Furuhashi, Ogata, and Umaru. Umaru only knew because she happened to live next door.

Oh, and now we have to add the person in front of us.

And who could be Furuhashi and Yotsuba's friend, and one of the five sisters...?

Who else could it be but Yotsuba!

"..."

Hayakawa stared blankly at the imposter in front of him, who was still looking around, and pondered to himself.

What's this guy doing here so late at night? Is he here to apologize for what happened during the day? But if he's apologizing, why pretend to be Nino? Is he embarrassed or does he have some other motive?

I have a persistent feeling of unease...

Let's remain unchanged for now and deal with all changes as they come.

Hayakawa composed himself and poured himself a cup of his usual coffee: "Please enjoy."

"Thanks…"

Yotsuba nervously picked up her teacup and took a sip. Instantly, her face turned green. Hayakawa's specially prepared high-concentration stimulant coffee was far beyond what a "useless body" like her, devoid of any Daoist spirit, could enjoy. She nearly spat it out and stuck out her pink tongue, gagging: "Ugh, ptooey! What is this?! It's so bitter!"

"Hmm? You don't like coffee? That's a bit of a shame."

Hayakawa glanced at it and said apologetically, "I'll get you something else."

After saying that, he took a sip by himself, his face full of delight.

"I can drink coffee!"

Nakano Yotsuba's face was hard to tell whether it was from bitterness or anger, but it was definitely ugly: "But this kind of coffee is no good, it's so bitter? It's not something a normal person can drink."

Oh dear, so people with low taste and no appreciation skills are truly...

Hayakawa rolled her eyes, went to the refrigerator and got her an iced cola: "Is this okay?"

"Give it to me quickly!"

Yotsuba, seeing the cola, felt like she'd been granted a reprieve. She quickly grabbed the can, opened the cap, and gulped it down. The sweetness of the cola helped to mask some of the bitterness in her mouth. She gasped, "Phew... I'm saved..."

This person is hopeless; their taste is terrible. They'll just end up like Umaru, a low-level pawn.

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa took a small sip, feeling the intense bitterness in his mouth and a sense of regret.

The differences between people in this world are truly vast. Someone with such refined taste as myself can strategize and become a chess player, while someone like Umaru-chan who loves drinking cola can only drink cola in this life. Even if they were to become a chess piece, they would only ever be a pawn.

"You are so awesome."

After drinking the cola, Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been detoxified. When she opened her eyes, she saw Hayakawa enjoying his coffee. She was immediately filled with disbelief, muttering to herself for a moment before her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Could this be the legendary... Kopi Luwak!"

"no!"

Hayakawa's hand tightened instantly, and his carefully cultivated composure almost crumbled on the spot. He wished he could pour the entire pot of coffee into Yotsuba's mouth to fill her up.

You're the one who drinks civet coffee, your whole family drinks civet coffee.

Hayakawa's face darkened; he decided that when he exposed Yotsuba later, he would thoroughly humiliate her.

"Hey, isn't that right?"

Yotsuba was a little disappointed: "I saw on TV that the worst coffee is civet coffee."

Hayakawa's hand tightened suddenly on the coffee cup, the force nearly crushing it. His eyes were empty, his face blank as he said, "What is it? Hurry up and tell me, I have other things to do."

"Okay, sure."

Upon hearing this, Yotsuba, disguised as Nino, straightened her expression and quickly lowered her head, saying, "I apologize on Yotsuba's behalf for the trouble I caused you today, Hayakawa."

After saying that, she took out a box of desserts from her handbag: "This is the signboard of a new Japanese sweets shop that recently opened near the school. It's peach sweets. It sells very well. I had to wait in line for a long time to buy it. I hope you can forgive me... Yotsuba."

Hayakawa silently accepted the gift box. Inside the exquisitely packaged box were fluffy and cute little desserts, similar to cookies. Just by looking at their appearance, you could tell they were the kind of treats that girls would love. It seemed that what she said about queuing for a long time was true.

However, for Hayakawa, sending even the best food is the same as sending liquid food; it only provides nutrition and a feeling of fullness, so it's better to send a workbook instead.

"Thank you."

Hayakawa put it away and said in a perfunctory tone, "I'll eat it properly."

Your answer is strange.

Yotsuba seemed about to laugh, but she held it back and said softly, "So, have you forgiven Yotsuba?"

"I never blamed her, so there's nothing to forgive."

Hayakawa said calmly, "I told her back then that I would definitely save her. Even if I knew I would get hurt, I wouldn't watch her fall. But she wouldn't listen, so that's why you're here to apologize now."

"That's it..."

Upon hearing this, Nino blushed slightly, lowered her head slowly, and whispered, "I understand..."

……

The girl with the black swallowtail butterfly hair ornament sat on the sofa somewhat uneasily, her heart gradually racing.

Just as Hayakawa guessed, she was not Nino, but Yotsuba who had come disguised as Nino.

Her purpose in coming here was actually to pretend to be someone else and subtly probe Hayakawa's attitude towards her.

Because she was Hayakawa's childhood friend, she understood him, knew how much he loved studying, and knew that he almost never took leave. So when Hayakawa was forced to take leave to save her, even though he comforted and reassured her in the infirmary, Yotsuba was still worried that Hayakawa would hold a grudge against her.

Feeling anxious and uncertain, Yotsuba could only make an excuse to visit a friend's house after club activities, then sneak away from the other four sisters to buy wagashi (Japanese sweets) before heading to the Hayakawa house.

Chapter 417 Impersonating Nino

In preparation for tonight's plan, Yotsuba pretended to be going to the club, using this as an excuse to avoid going home with her four sisters.

"Excuse me, Ichika, you guys go home first. I need to go to the playground first. I'll be home later tonight."

"Is that so? Then go ahead, and remember to be careful on your way back."

To avoid being discovered, Yotsuba first went to the playground, then secretly circled back through a small gate, and ran all the way to the entrance of the Japanese sweets shop so that she could get a good spot in line.

While we were queuing, Yihua and her three friends happened to pass by the dessert shop. When May saw the long queue, she immediately grabbed the other three and wouldn't let them leave, wanting to buy some to take home. They lingered around there for quite a while.

Yotsuba was so scared that her soul almost flew out of her mouth. Luckily, the other three saw that the line was too long and didn't want to wait, so they dragged Itsuki away. Otherwise, they would definitely have been discovered.

After Yotsuba successfully bought the signature sweets, she immediately took the train to the vicinity of the Hayakawa family and visited them at a more suitable time.

"It's great that we weren't discovered, otherwise they would definitely have grabbed us and interrogated us."

Yotsuba wiped her forehead, feeling somewhat relieved. She realized she wasn't May. If May were to lie and secretly go to buy snacks, no one would suspect her, but if it were her, Ichika, they definitely wouldn't believe her.
