Miku had originally intended to end her life by slitting her throat, but an unexpected situation occurred. Hayakawa didn't react much, but Yotsuba, upon learning what had happened, hurriedly covered it up for Hayakawa, even more anxious than Hayakawa herself.
"How could Yotsuba be like this?"
Miku had mixed feelings; she was both saddened by Yotsuba's strange behavior and genuinely relieved by her actions.
Yotsuba's attitude seems so strange. Were she and Hayakawa really that close?
Yotsuba lay on the bed, too afraid to move, letting Yotsuba reach out and pick her up. She tried to pretend to be fast asleep, and then she heard Hayakawa saying something like, "I am an upright person and I never hide anything."
Honestly, upon hearing that, Miku wanted nothing more than to jump off Yotsuba's arms and kill him on the spot, using Oni no Heihachi's lower body slash.
Fortunately, Yotsuba didn't listen to him at all and carried herself back to May's room.
Quietly opening the door, Miku peeked inside. The room was very quiet, and May was fast asleep on the bed, her chest rising and falling evenly.
"May did not wake up as expected."
Yotsuba whispered something, then gently placed herself on May's bed and slipped out of the room.
The room remained quiet, as if nothing had happened.
Just consider it a strange dream.
Lying on the soft bed, Miku closed her eyes with mixed feelings and slowly drifted into a drowsy dream.
……
"call…"
After Yotsuba left the room, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she saw Hayakawa standing next to her with his arms crossed and his brows furrowed, looking melancholy. She whispered in a conciliatory tone, "Are you still unhappy? I can't help it. If someone sees Miku in your room, there will definitely be trouble."
"It has nothing to do with that, I just didn't expect to get drunk,"
Hayakawa shook his head, scratched his head, and said to Yotsuba, "Thank you again, Yotsuba. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have had to lie on the street all night. It would have been so embarrassing."
"No...nothing."
Yotsuba immediately lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and said, "I just discovered it by chance."
"Thank you, I'll treat you to a meal sometime."
Hayakawa looked down at Yotsuba, her eyes unusually gentle.
"Well…"
Yotsuba was startled by these words, her mind went blank, and her heart felt as if it were filled with something sweet.
Will you treat me to a meal?
Could this be...
Does this mean you want to go on a date?
Chapter 153 Breakfast
"What...do you mean by that?"
Yotsuba's face instantly turned blood red, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Hayakawa.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa stared at her blankly, looking lost.
What does this sentence mean? Is there even a question? It's definitely a social nicety, like the "I'll treat you to dinner next time" kind of polite phrase.
Would a normal person specifically ask this question?
"I just wanted to thank you and treat you to a meal."
Hayakawa looked at the girl in front of him with some puzzlement, wondering if she really wanted to eat this meal. It seemed that Yotsuba was more eager for it than he had imagined.
Yotsuba's expression shifted, and she looked up at Hayakawa, her eyes trembling slightly. "...I'll think about it."
"..."
Hayakawa: "Whatever you say, it's up to you."
After saying that, he went downstairs to wash up, and Yotsuba followed behind him with her signature goofy smile on her face.
She didn't intend to reveal that Hayakawa had recognized her the night before.
Since he didn't say anything, he must have his own reasons. If he didn't want to say it, then I shouldn't say it either. Besides, Nino likes Hayakawa now, so I shouldn't cause any trouble.
This is fine now...
I'm very satisfied with things as they are now.
Yotsuba watched Hayakawa enter the bathroom with her hands behind her back, then sat on the sofa and waited quietly. Her slender, snow-white legs swayed under her pajama bottoms, as if she were sitting on her own swing.
……
Today was a day off, so the five sisters all woke up quite late. It took Hayakawa a long time to get ready before the five sisters woke up one by one. Hayakawa thanked them all and said she would buy some desserts and cakes for them, giving one to each of them.
Hearing this, Lun Siye felt sad. So, when you said "treating me to a meal," was it something that all the younger sisters received, or was it just for me?
"I didn't pay attention. Any normal person would take their friend home if they saw them collapsed on the street."
Nino Nakano chimed in matter-of-factly, then asked curiously, "So, Hayakawa, why do you go to the bar to drink right after school?"
Yotsuba's little ears perked up immediately upon hearing this, as did Ichika's; they both wanted to know why Hayakawa was drinking.
"this…"
Upon hearing this, Hayakawa's body trembled, and the piercing pain in his heart slowly spread again, revealing an expression of unbearable memories. He silently turned his head away and said, "There are various reasons."
This reaction…
The five sisters looked at him and their expressions changed. They couldn't help but exchange glances.
He looked like he was heartbroken.
Nino's expression immediately changed, and she couldn't help but ask, "Um, I wanted to ask, did you go drinking because of the girls?"
girl?
Hayakawa was startled, and four terrifying faces—Furuhashi, Ogata, Natsukawa, and Umaru—immediately appeared in her mind. They were like four terrifying giants whose faces she couldn't see, casting a terrible shadow on her heart. Then she thought of the loves of her life.
Xiaowen, Xiaoli…
My love... my dearest, we love each other.
For you, I am willing to give everything, even become a demon or a monster! I will still become a man worthy of you.
Hayakawa's eyes were gentle, as if her beloved ones had appeared before her again, and she had reached out her hand to them, and they had done the same, responding to her love.
But the next moment, the wicked Furuhashi Ogata and her gang appeared. They stole their love away, taking advantage of their talents to take them away. From then on, their loved ones were separated by mountains and seas, never to meet again. They were also trapped on the shattered throne, and the world seemed to have lost its color.
No...no! No!!
Hayakawa felt a tearing pain in his heart, and the intense pain gradually reddened his eyes. A crystal tear struggled in his eye for a long time before finally falling, leaving a wet trail on his cheek.
Upon seeing this, Nino's gaze froze instantly.
This reaction... is completely wrong.
So, is it true that he went out drinking because he was heartbroken? That's a very bad situation.
It's ok.
Nino Nakano felt a little flustered and couldn't help but turn to look at Ichika. She saw that Ichika also looked strange, so she tried to reassure herself.
It could be a problem with a friend, a family issue, or even something related to studies—who knows?
Hayakawa wiped his eyes and said expressionlessly, "I got some face wash in my eyes."
This is a lie! It's so obviously fake!
"..."
Nino panicked even more, and her eyes sharpened.
Regardless of whether there is a real problem, I need to be prepared in advance. Love is like war, and I need to be fully prepared to win every battle.
"It's getting late, I'm going to make breakfast."
Nino said something to the five sisters, then turned to Hayakawa and smiled slightly: "Hayakawa-san, would it be alright if you stayed for a meal too?"
The way to a guy's heart is through his stomach. Watch me defeat him with my best cooking skills.
"I'll forget it."
Hayakawa didn't want to stay at someone else's house, especially a girl's house, for too long, so she refused without thinking: "I've already stayed overnight, so I won't eat."
After saying that, he got up to leave.
"Don't be shy."
Seeing this, Ichika immediately became unhappy. How could Hayakawa leave right after sleeping? She quickly ran over and pressed Hayakawa back onto the sofa, smiling as she said, "A hangover must be really uncomfortable. You must have a headache right now. Can't you rest for a while and have some breakfast before you leave?"
"this…"
Hayakawa wanted to refuse.
"Stay here, it's just for breakfast."
Siye whispered, "You're a guest too, so we need to treat you well, otherwise Father might scold us if he finds out."
"Ok."
Hayakawa could only nod helplessly: "Thank you for your help."
"Then I'll go over there first."
Seeing this, Nino Nakano quickly got up and went to the kitchen, saying, "It'll be quick, just wait a moment."
Hayakawa saw that Nino was going to cook, so he went over to help.
"Ok."
Nino wanted to show Hayakawa how she cooked, so she didn't refuse and went into the kitchen. She even picked out her favorite pink apron to wear and handed Hayakawa a black apron, holding out her hand to help Hayakawa put it on, saying, "You need to wear this when you cook."
"..."
Hayakawa looked at Nino, who was so close to him, and paused for a moment. He felt that Nino seemed a little too close to him, which made him very uncomfortable.
Yotsuba, who was secretly observing from the doorway, felt a pang of anxiety upon seeing this scene. She was overwhelmed with mixed emotions and couldn't describe her feelings.
"Okay."
Nino stood up, blushing slightly at her bold act. She picked up the cutting board as if to cover it up and said, "Let's begin."
"what are you up to?"
Hayakawa watched as Nino picked up the cutting board, and, knowing a little about cooking, asked curiously, "Breakfast or lunch?"
It's almost 10 a.m. now, a time when you can have either breakfast or lunch, which is the "brunch" time created by young people in the new era.
Chapter 154 Nino's Cooking Class
"What are you doing..."
Nino was rummaging through the refrigerator when she heard this. She turned around and looked at Hayakawa for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "Although it's only 10 a.m., I guess they won't be hungry at noon after this meal. And considering that May is a big eater, let's make more and make it like a normal lunch."
Was May a big eater? This is the first time I've ever heard of that.
Hayakawa nodded silently, gently rinsed the porcelain bowl with water that was imprinted with cherry blossoms, and then wiped it clean.
"As for what exactly to do,"
Nino Nakano looked at Hayakawa and suddenly smiled slightly: "Hmm~"
……
Nino Nakano's cooking class.
Today I'm going to introduce a healthy dish that's perfect for relieving headaches after drinking too much alcohol!
"First, thoroughly clean the prepared salmon with water, then place it in a frying pan and continuously drizzle hot olive oil over it with a spoon. This will make the surface of the fish crispy,"
