"then you…"
Hayakawa responded, but suddenly realized something was wrong: who was talking to me?
Hayakawa turned around abruptly, only to find Fumino Furuhashi, who was standing right next to him with a gentle smile on her face.
Hayakawa: "..."
"When...did you arrive?"
Hayakawa swallowed hard and asked in a dry voice.
“At the beginning.”
Fumino Furuhashi said calmly, "They were watching you from the very back from the beginning."
"Always."
Fumino Furuhashi smiled sweetly.
Hayakawa was immediately terrified. He remained silent and did not greet anyone from the back seat. He just sat there with bloodshot eyes, staring at May.
How terrifying... Are you a demon?
Hayakawa felt a strange chill in his back and a pain in his lower abdomen, as if a knife was pressed against it.
"Hmm..."
Seeing that Hayakawa remained silent, Fumino Furuhashi also fell silent, only letting out a pleasant hum as she tilted her head to look at Hayakawa.
"Ancient bridge..."
Hayakawa couldn't help but ask, "Are you angry?"
"Why would I be angry? I actually admire you."
Fumino Furuhashi laughed and said, "You're already teaching me and Rizu, yet you still have the energy to teach other girls. You're really amazing to find a new teacher so quickly. Come on, let's continue."
Hayakawa: "..."
He's definitely angry.
"Uh…"
Hayakawa couldn't understand, so he thought for a moment and then skipped the topic: "I didn't expect you to come here to study too, and so early at that. Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the study room?"
"I…"
Fumino Furuhashi was taken aback and said, "Can't I have some time to myself? Can't I study on my own?"
"…All right."
Hayakawa paused for a moment, then said, "I'm relieved as long as you're willing to study."
"Yes, that way you'll have more time to teach other girls,"
The ancient bridge then donned its sweetest, most radiant smile: "I feel so at ease~"
"You're deliberately trying to cause trouble, aren't you?"
Hayakawa frowned and moved closer to Fumino Furuhashi.
"whispering sound…"
Fumino Furuhashi puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction and said sullenly, "Look, here we go again. You do something wrong and then you use a tough attitude to force others. So the identity of a teacher is used to bully students. You are not even as good as Kirisu-sensei."
"Well…"
Hayakawa felt as if an arrow had pierced his heart. He couldn't stand hearing people say that he was inferior to someone else. He forced himself to stay awake and said, "So... where exactly did I go wrong? Explain yourself."
"Think for yourself."
Fumino Furuhashi turned her head and said, "This is a girl's inner world. You should try to understand it for yourself."
Hayakawa: "???"
I don't understand at all.
"I'm going back."
Fumino Furuhashi returned to her seat and began packing her things.
"Hey, aren't you going to study anymore?"
Hayakawa was startled; now was precisely the time to concentrate.
"I'm going back to my room to study."
Fumino Furuhashi slung her small bag over her shoulder and said casually, "This study room isn't very good; it's hard to concentrate."
Hayakawa: "...Okay."
Fumino Furuhashi left without looking back, her steps quick, as if there was something annoying in the house.
Hayakawa looked quietly at his empty surroundings and remained silent for a while.
"I'll go back to my room too..."
……
The two-day field training camp came to an end. Although it was called a training camp, Hayakawa didn't feel like he had really learned anything. All he remembered was moving logs, walking in the jungle, and being scolded by the teacher.
"The already tight teaching schedule has been made even worse."
Hayakawa looked at the calendar in front of him, which read "Three days until the monthly exam," and his heart sank.
It's all this stupid school's fault for organizing such a ridiculous event. It's infuriating! I've already tried my best, done everything a tutor can do, but this school not only drags me down, but also makes all sorts of unreasonable demands on me…
"It's unbelievable..."
Hayakawa took Ogata Rizu's test paper, carefully corrected the last bit, and then turned to say, "Ogata, your test paper."
Rizu Ogata quickly took it, and said somewhat nervously, "Wh...how did it go? Hayakawa-san, how did I do?"
"Hmm...it's alright."
Hayakawa hesitated for a moment, then said vaguely, "You've made great progress. Keep up the good work."
Honestly, Hayakawa felt that her daughter's test paper was a complete mess. She had given her the questions she had already explained, yet she still failed. Hayakawa simply couldn't understand it, but she couldn't discourage the child, so she could only force herself to say a few words of praise.
"what…"
Ogata Rizu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Okay."
"Um…"
Hayakawa smiled slightly, then looked at the other girl next to her, her expression immediately becoming more composed.
Fumino Furuhashi was sitting on the other side, looking down at her textbook intently, completely ignoring what was happening on the other side.
Damn it...
Hayakawa gritted his teeth inwardly.
This bitch has been completely ignoring me ever since we came back from the training camp. What did I do wrong?
"Cough cough~"
Hayakawa coughed lightly and walked to the old bridge: "Furuhashi! Studying must be hard. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me."
"It's fine now, there's nothing I don't understand."
Without turning her head, Fumino Furuhashi said indifferently, "I'll take a look myself first."
See, it's the same old story. You pretend you know everything, but do you think I don't know the answer? You used to be able to come over and ask eight questions every ten minutes.
No, this won't do. It will affect my learning progress, and I'll fail the monthly exam as a result.
"Oh dear, the problem you're looking at is a classic type. The method the teacher taught is quite complicated, but I have a simpler way that will save you a lot of time."
Hayakawa pointed to a question in Furuhashi's textbook, feigning surprise, then rubbed his hands together and gave a fawning look: "How about I let Xiaodi tell you?"
"Okay, please teach me."
Fumino Furuhashi turned her head and smiled at Hayakawa, saying softly, "Teacher."
"..."
Hayakawa's body trembled slightly, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
Chapter Forty-Seven: Peeping? Can it be stolen?
"Don't call me that."
Hayakawa felt a chill run down his spine, covered his face, and waved his hand.
Although Hayakawa has always presented himself as a teacher, Fumino Furuhashi still felt ashamed to call him "teacher".
Fumino Furuhashi didn't respond, but instead pointed to a question in the textbook: "I don't know how to do this question, can you take a look at it for me?"
"Ok."
Hayakawa's expression turned serious as he looked at the problem: "Given the odd number in the problem... then the even number is... huh?"
Why does it feel familiar?
The thought flashed through Hayakawa's mind like an electric shock, and the next moment his heart and lungs stopped, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Upon closer inspection, isn't this the very first problem I explained to May yesterday?!
Hayakawa swallowed hard, glancing sideways at Fumino Furuhashi's expression.
It must be a coincidence.
Hayakawa looked at the old bridge that was smiling at him and thought to himself.
……
Study time always flies by, and before you know it, it's time for your daily shower again.
"I'm going to take a shower first."
Rizu Ogata stretched and then got up and went to the bathroom.
"Should I wash first, or you wash first?"
After seeing Ogata leave, Hayakawa looked at Furuhashi and asked.
"Of course I'll wash first,"
Fumino Furuhashi looked up at Hayakawa and said with a smile, "I'm worried that you might secretly drink my bathwater, Hayakawa."
Hayakawa: "..."
How could such a sweet smile utter such a vicious accusation?
"Hey."
Hayakawa frowned, his expression darkening slightly, revealing his displeasure.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry,"
Fumino Furuhashi looked frightened and covered her mouth apologetically, "Hayakawa-kun probably prefers drinking other girls' bathwater, right?"
"I won't drink anyone's bathwater!"
Hayakawa, unable to bear it any longer, stretched out an arm and slammed Fumino Furuhashi against the wall, angrily saying, "Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"
"what are you saying?"
Fumino Furuhashi looked completely innocent and naive: "Why don't I understand?"
"It started last night, of course,"
Hayakawa slammed her other hand on the table, her eyes fixed on Furuhashi Fumino who was standing right next to her: "What's with that weird attitude of yours? It's affecting my studies!"
"Don't get so close,"
Fumino Furuhashi blushed slightly and reached out to push Hayakawa away a little: "If you keep doing this, I'm going to call Ri-chan."
"Great! Perfect, I'll call Ogata along to hold you accountable."
Hayakawa remained unfazed and confidently declared, "Let her see whose problem it really is."
