Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Before this, Shiratori Kashi had never felt that kind of liking for any boy.

As a master fish pond owner, she had always just treated the boys who confessed to her or expressed their liking for her as merely fish in her pond.

But now, upon seeing Hojo Saki Rei not far away, for some reason, she had a feeling that she might have fallen for Hojo Saki Rei.

Of course, she didn't know what liking was, as she had never liked any boy before.

She just vaguely felt that Hojo Saki Rei in front of her was the only one who could be worthy of her!

Since she had already determined in her heart that Hojo Saki Rei was very likely the boy she liked, and she had also acknowledged Hojo Saki Rei from the bottom of her heart, Shiratori Kashi naturally wouldn't be like others, afraid to step forward.

When Hojo Saki Rei had finished his event and was about to return, she walked directly towards Hojo Saki Rei and blocked his path.

Hojo Saki Rei, who had just finished everything, was originally thinking that he could go back and rest.

He saw a girl blocking his way.

Regarding this, Hojo Saki Rei felt a little confused.

This was only because he did not know the girl in front of him.

"Classmate, this is?"

Hojo Saki Rei spoke, a bit puzzled, not understanding why Shiratori Kashi was blocking his path.

"Hello, classmate, my name is Shiratori Kashi, I'm in Class Five. I just saw you throwing the javelin, you're amazing! May I have the honor of getting to know you and becoming your friend?"

As Shiratori Kashi spoke, a brilliant smile appeared on her face.

When this scene was seen by the other girls not far away, those girls all frowned in unison as they looked at Shiratori Kashi.

Of course, some girls also became a little curious after seeing this scene.

Because they had also thought about approaching Hojo Saki Rei before.

It was just that they didn't know if Hojo Saki Rei would be annoyed by such an approach, and they were afraid of being rejected by Hojo Saki Rei, which was why they hadn't taken action.

Now that someone was approaching Hojo Saki Rei in front of them, they naturally wanted to see what Hojo Saki Rei's reaction would be.

As for the other group of girls, they were simply admiring Hojo Saki Rei.

They didn't have any other thoughts about this.

Hearing what the girl in front of him said, Hojo Saki Rei was stunned again.

"Uh, hello, my name is Hojo Saki Rei."

Although he didn't know why the girl in front of him wanted to approach him, or if she was amazed by his handsomeness.

But seeing her like this, a poised and generous girl, Hojo Saki Rei naturally wouldn't let her lose face in front of outsiders.

As he spoke, his hand also clasped Shiratori Kashi's at this moment.

"Then, are we friends from now on?"

Seeing Hojo Saki Rei shake hands with her, Shiratori Kashi asked happily.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, when he saw her like this, he also couldn't bear to refuse.

Moreover, Shiratori Kashi, this girl, Hojo Saki Rei thought she seemed quite nice.

But soon, he frowned.

This was only because Hojo Saki Rei remembered something, which was that the System had previously given him a task.

At that time, one of the options involved a girl named Shiratori Kashi, who was a master fish pond owner.

After thinking of this, Hojo Saki Rei naturally thought of something bad.

"Could it be that she is the Shiratori Kashi the System mentioned before? A master fish pond owner?"

With this thought, looking at the poised and generous girl in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei didn't know how to face her for a moment.

If this had been before, if he had accepted that task, Hojo Saki Rei would have definitely talked to her without hesitation.

But now, he hadn't received the task from the System, so Hojo Saki Rei naturally didn't want to stay with such a bad girl.

What's more, even though Shiratori Kashi in front of him looked sincere.

It was very likely that he had already been treated as a fish by her.

After thinking of this, how could Hojo Saki Rei possibly want to continue talking to her?

"Um... Shiratori Kashi, I've finished my competition, I'm going back now. See you when we have time."

Saying that, Hojo Saki Rei didn't wait for Shiratori Kashi to say anything, and lifted his foot to leave.

However, at this moment, in front of Hojo Saki Rei.

A light blue screen appeared again at this moment.

[Temporary task issued: Host, please become Shiratori Kashi's private tutor and help Shiratori Kashi mend her ways!]

[Task Reward: 2000 points!]

Along with the sudden appearance of the screen, Hojo Saki Rei's footsteps also paused at this moment.

Although he didn't want to stay with this girl who had probably already treated him as a fish, he was determined to get the points!

Moreover, this was 2000 points!

During this time, he was only doing one of the tasks issued by the System.

If he gave up this task, Hojo Saki Rei didn't know if he would get other System tasks again in a short time.

And when Shiratori Kashi heard Hojo Saki Rei's words, she was also shocked by what he said.

Over the years, any boy who approached Shiratori Kashi was easily controlled by her.

For example, Tanaka Taiwa recently.

Therefore, Shiratori Kashi had never taken the matter of controlling boys seriously.

Moreover, after Hojo Saki Rei shook hands with her, she also felt that Hojo Saki Rei was nothing special.

She had even started preparing to treat Hojo Saki Rei as a fish, just as Hojo Saki Rei had thought.

But she never expected.

Hojo Saki Rei was actually going to leave?

This kind of thing had never happened to Shiratori Kashi before.

Looking at Hojo Saki Rei in front of her, she was somewhat in disbelief.

However, seeing Hojo Saki Rei lift his foot to leave, she didn't know how to stop Hojo Saki Rei for a moment.

But at this moment, she saw that Hojo Saki Rei had stopped again.

"Huh? Didn't he say he was leaving? Why did he stop again?"

"Could it be that he is playing hard to get?"

For a moment, Shiratori Kashi couldn't help but think to herself, feeling that Hojo Saki Rei was very likely saying that on purpose.

His purpose was to make her speak first.

After thinking of this, Shiratori Kashi's slightly worried heart became steady again.

"Hmph, what kind of tricks haven't I seen before? Since you're playing hard to get, I'd like to see what you're going to do."

Thinking this, Shiratori Kashi immediately said, "Hojo Saki Rei, is there anything else?"

The reason Shiratori Kashi guessed that Hojo Saki Rei was playing hard to get and then deliberately cooperated with him, besides wanting to know what Hojo Saki Rei was going to do, was another reason.

That was, she didn't want to give up on Hojo Saki Rei either.

After all, this boy was the first one she had liked in so many years.

Besides Hojo Saki Rei's excellent performance in the competition.

She couldn't find any fault with Hojo Saki Rei's appearance either.

Even, when her gaze lingered on Hojo Saki Rei for a while, she could feel that Hojo Saki Rei seemed to be emitting an aura that made her feel particularly comfortable.

"Cough cough."

Hearing Shiratori Kashi's words, Hojo Saki Rei was also slightly awkward at this moment.

After all, he had just said he was leaving, but now he hadn't left.

But even so, Hojo Saki Rei didn't want to give up this task, so he quickly said, "Shiratori Kashi, it's like this, are you free now?"

Even though he knew that his invitation was very likely to make Shiratori Kashi look down on him and misunderstand him.

However, Hojo Saki Rei could only accept it.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words, the corner of Shiratori Kashi's mouth couldn't help but slightly curl up at this moment.

She was also thinking to herself that everything was indeed as she had thought, that the man in front of her was playing hard to get, and that he was doing it on purpose.

However, regarding Hojo Saki Rei's invitation, she didn't know if she should agree to him.

Her gaze left Hojo Saki Rei, and she saw that many girls were looking at the two of them not far away. Shiratori Kashi quickly made a decision!

That was, to accept Hojo Saki Rei's invitation!

Because she knew very well how popular this boy in front of her was.

"Yes, um... Hojo Saki Rei, is there something you need?"

Being direct had never happened to Shiratori Kashi.

But now, she had to do it.

After all, based on her many years of experience as a fish pond owner, being direct was more likely to gain a boy's favor.

Indeed, just as she finished speaking, she saw Hojo Saki Rei nod.

"Um, I only have the last two events left now, and both of these events are tomorrow. I don't have anything else to do right now. I was wondering if I could invite Shiratori Kashi to walk around the school with me."

When he said this, Hojo Saki Rei felt a little awkward.

Meeting a girl for the first time and inviting her to walk around the school, only he could do something like this, right?

Although the girl did approach him first, his approach was indeed a bit unwise.

However, besides this, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't find any better opportunity to get closer to Shiratori Kashi.

Only by quickly getting closer to the two of them could he propose to be her private tutor and help her return to the right path and mend her ways!

This way, he could also complete the System's task.

"Okay, I don't have anything to do right now either."

"I was actually also thinking of walking around with Hojo Saki Rei just now, I wanted to know how Hojo Saki Rei managed to win three consecutive championships. I wonder if Hojo Saki Rei has any secrets?"

Shiratori Kashi, a master fish pond owner, also agreed without hesitation after hearing Hojo Saki Rei's invitation.

Moreover, as if to relieve Hojo Saki Rei's awkwardness, she even said such a sentence at this moment.

"Then... where should we go?"

Before Hojo Saki Rei could say anything, he heard Shiratori Kashi ask again at this moment.

Hearing her ask him this, Hojo Saki Rei suddenly didn't know how to answer.

He had no experience with walking around the school.

His only experience.

That was the day Asahi Rinka came to Sakuragi High School, when he took Asahi Rinka to familiarize herself with the school grounds.

"I know a place that's very quiet. I guess Hojo Saki Rei probably wants to find a quiet place too, right?"

As if she saw Hojo Saki Rei's embarrassment, Shiratori Kashi deliberately glanced at the girls not far away, and then said this.

Seeing Shiratori Kashi say this, Hojo Saki Rei also knew that she was doing it so he wouldn't be awkward, and quickly nodded in agreement.

And just as Hojo Saki Rei was preparing to leave with Shiratori Kashi.

Not far away, a girl with two bottles of water came to the javelin field.

The girl was none other than Asahi Rinka.

Earlier, when she saw Hojo Saki Rei heading straight for the javelin field, Asahi Rinka didn't rush to follow him, but went to the school supermarket and bought two bottles of water.

Considering that Hojo Saki Rei was participating in so many events, she naturally knew how to improve her relationship with Hojo Saki Rei.

But she never expected.

As soon as she arrived here, she saw Hojo Saki Rei shaking hands with another girl.

Not only that, but the two of them were also talking and laughing.

Especially since they were also looking at the other classmates around, as if they were concerned about something.

After seeing this, Asahi Rinka, who had originally wanted to go directly to give Hojo Saki Rei the water, stopped immediately.

She wanted to see what Hojo Saki Rei was going to say to that girl.

And then, she saw that Hojo Saki Rei and that girl were actually walking in another direction.

After seeing this, Asahi Rinka suddenly felt a little flustered.

Although when she saw Hojo Saki Rei talking and laughing with other girls, she did want to know if Hojo Saki Rei would do anything to hurt her.

But now, when she actually saw this scene, she also felt a little regretful in her heart.

"Who is that girl? Why is Saki Rei-kun with her?"

"And, before this, I never heard that Saki Rei-kun knew any other girls!"

"Could it be that they knew each other before I came to this school? Where are they going?"

For a moment, all sorts of thoughts suddenly appeared in Asahi Rinka's mind.

When she thought that Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi might have known each other for a long time, Asahi Rinka's heart became even more chaotic.

In the javelin field not far from Asahi Rinka, Tanaka Taiwa also looked at this scene in a daze.

When he saw Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi talking and laughing together, Tanaka Taiwa thought he was seeing things.

It wasn't until he saw Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi walking towards a small forest in the school that he snapped back to reality.
