Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Inside the School Infirmary.

As Hojo Saki Rei's words fell, Shiratori Kashiwa, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes.

When she realized that she was actually lying on a bed, and next to her were Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka, who were discussing how to save her, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a beautiful smile.

Shiratori Kashi had some impression of how she fainted.

Because she had been in the restroom for too long, when Asahi Rinka called out to her, she suddenly stood up, and then only felt a dizzy spell in her head, followed by fainting.

As for what happened afterward, although she didn't remember, she knew for sure that it must have been Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka who carried her out of the restroom.

Seeing that the two people beside her were still discussing various things and hadn't noticed that she had already woken up, Shiratori Kashi immediately pretended to cough.

"Rinka, did you just hear someone coughing?"

When he heard the coughing sound, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but ask with some confusion.

"Ah? Could it be that someone came to the School Infirmary?"

Asahi Rinka also heard the sound of someone coughing, but didn't take it seriously. She was just a little curious why Hojo Saki Rei would notice this.

After all, the two of them were just discussing how to save Shiratori Kashi.

"But, how do I feel like that coughing sound came from beside us?"

Hojo Saki Rei asked with some doubt.

When he said this, Asahi Rinka was instantly stunned.

Then, the two of them turned their heads together and looked at Shiratori Kashiwa lying on the sickbed.

As the two of them turned their heads, they saw that Shiratori Kashiwa had already woken up and was looking at them with a smile on her face.

"Shiratori Kashiwa, you... you're awake?"

Asahi Rinka asked awkwardly.

But she quickly reacted.

"Uh, how are you feeling now? Is there anything uncomfortable with your body?"

Asahi Rinka's face also showed a worried expression as she spoke.

"Yeah, why did you faint in the restroom? And the Dr. checked your body and found that all of your vital signs are normal, and even your blood pressure is fine."

Hojo Saki Rei also spoke at this time.

He also couldn't figure out what was going on with Shiratori Kashiwa fainting.

Of course.

This was also because Shiratori Kashiwa had no problem at all, it was just because she had been squatting for too long, causing blood to rush to her head, and standing up too quickly led to her fainting.

Seeing that both of them were so concerned about her, the arc of Shiratori Kashiwa's smile grew wider.

Before this, although she also considered Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka as friends, they were just ordinary friends. But now, she was lying on the bed, and only Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka were by her side, showing concern.

As a result, Shiratori Kashiwa had already come to regard Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka as her best friends.

Because in her opinion, only best friends would be so good to her.

Most importantly, they were still discussing how to save her.

Although she didn't know how they thought they could cure her, when she saw their excited and nervous expressions, Shiratori Kashiwa felt a warmth in her heart.

She had never felt this kind of feeling from anyone else.

Of course, except for her father.

"I stood up too quickly when I heard Rinka calling me, which caused me to faint from blood rushing to my head."

"I'm fine now, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, so you don't have to worry."

Although Shiratori Kashiwa knew that she had breast cancer and likely didn't have much time left, she faced Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka in front of her.

Facing these two people who were still worried about her safety, she somewhat didn't want them to worry too much about her problems.

"Blood rushing to your head?"

"So that's it. You don't know how scary you were at the time. How worried we were when we saw you lying on the ground."

"The Dr. checked you for a long time at that time. Fortunately, the tests showed that all of your vital signs were normal. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have known what to do."

Hearing Shiratori Kashiwa say that she fainted from blood rushing to her head, Asahi Rinka couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, she also told her everything that happened when she fainted.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, after hearing Asahi Rinka say this, he didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry for making you worry. I was just thinking of coming out quickly at that time."

"Saki Rei-kun, Rinka, thank you."

Shiratori Kashiwa said with a sincere expression.

Hearing Shiratori Kashiwa's words, Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka exchanged a smile.

When she noticed that Shiratori Kashiwa's gaze fell on their hands that were still clasped together, Asahi Rinka's face suddenly turned red at a rapid speed.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, he also felt a little awkward.

"Uh... we were just too worried about you, and Saki Rei-kun was worried about me..."

Facing Shiratori Kashiwa, who was looking at them with that strange gaze, Asahi Rinka quickly explained.

However, after saying this, she didn't know how to continue.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you can still be shy?"

"Don't worry, everyone in the entire Sakuragi High School knows that you like Saki Rei-kun, so you don't have to hide it anymore."

Seeing Asahi Rinka like this, Shiratori Kashiwa couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then continued to tease her.

Seeing that Shiratori Kashiwa actually laughed out loud, Asahi Rinka, who was originally worried that Shiratori Kashiwa might be immersed in sadness because of her illness, also felt relieved.

"Bastard!"

"Why? Why is this happening?"

"Could it be that Shiratori Kashiwa shouldn't be scolding them? They're already holding hands."

"And Shiratori Kashiwa is Hojo Saki Rei's official girlfriend, shouldn't she be angry about this?"

"Or is it that she has already accepted it, and she, like Asahi Rinka, is willing to be with that bastard Hojo Saki Rei at the same time?!"

Outside the School Infirmary.

When he saw Shiratori Kashiwa wake up, Tanaka Taiwa's attention was always focused, and at the same time, he hoped that Shiratori Kashiwa could discover Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka's improper contact at this time.

However, the situation happening inside the School Infirmary was not what he wanted.

At this moment, he wanted to rush into the School Infirmary and ask Asahi Rinka and Shiratori Kashiwa in person, wanting to know what they were thinking.

Of course, even if he was angry, Tanaka Taiwa didn't dare to go into the School Infirmary at this time. He didn't dare to face Shiratori Kashiwa, and even less dared to face Hojo Saki Rei.

Facing Shiratori Kashiwa, he knew that Shiratori Kashiwa hated him at this time.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, he naturally knew that Hojo Saki Rei could not forgive him for what he had done to him.

At this time, after a period of greetings and pleasantries, the atmosphere in the School Infirmary also became much better.

The School Doctor who had finished making a phone call in the office came out again to check on Shiratori Kashiwa after hearing the sound outside. After finding that Shiratori Kashiwa had no other discomfort and had only fainted from blood rushing to her head, he returned to the office.

"Why don't you two go to class? It's almost time for class."

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka still planned to sit here and chat with her, although Shiratori Kashiwa also liked this atmosphere.

But thinking that class was about to start, Shiratori Kashiwa also didn't want to delay their studies, so she immediately suggested it at this time.

"Class?"

Hearing Shiratori Kashiwa's words, Asahi Rinka and Hojo Saki Rei were both shocked.

They quickly reacted.

It was indeed almost time for class.

However, they really couldn't bear to leave Shiratori Kashiwa, a patient, lying in the School Infirmary alone.

"I have completely mastered the content of the next class, so I don't need to attend. And it's the same whether I attend class or not, anyway, it's just changing places to daydream."

"Why don't you go back? I'll stay here with Shiratori Kashiwa."

Hojo Saki Rei turned his head and said to Asahi Rinka.

Asahi Rinka and Hojo Saki Rei had a bet. As long as Asahi Rinka could get into the same university as him, Hojo Saki Rei would have to be her boyfriend.

Moreover, Hojo Saki Rei also didn't want Asahi Rinka to skip class.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words, although Asahi Rinka really wanted to stay here, she thought that if both of them didn't go to the classroom, the Teacher would definitely be angry.

What's more, Hojo Saki Rei really didn't need to study anything, while she still had a lot of knowledge to learn.

So even though she wanted to stay here, Asahi Rinka could only nod her head and agree in the end.

"Then I'll go back to the classroom and explain the situation to the Teacher, and tell the Teacher clearly that you are in the School Infirmary with Shiratori Kashiwa."

Asahi Rinka said.

"Okay, alright."

Naturally, Hojo Saki Rei hoped that she would tell the Teacher, otherwise, he had just shown up today, and now he wasn't going to class, and the Teacher might even think that he looked down on his class.

It was bad enough to daydream during class normally, but now he wasn't even going to class. Wasn't that disrespecting the Teacher?

Hojo Saki Rei had no intention of offending any Teacher.

"Then I'll go?"

"Shiratori Kashiwa, I'll come see you after class."

Asahi Rinka said with a hint of apology on her face.

She really considered Shiratori Kashiwa as her friend, so not being able to stay here with Shiratori Kashiwa made her feel somewhat guilty.

"It's alright, class is only ten minutes anyway. You should just wait until after school to come back."

Shiratori Kashiwa replied with a smile.

Before, when she saw Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka standing together, she would somewhat envy Asahi Rinka.

But now, seeing how kind Asahi Rinka was, and since she already had cancer, the more she looked at Asahi Rinka, the more she liked her, and she also felt that only someone like Asahi Rinka could be worthy of a perfect man like Hojo Saki Rei.

Outside the School Infirmary.

The moment he saw Asahi Rinka stand up, Tanaka Taiwa also knew that it was almost time for class and that Asahi Rinka might be going to class.

He was also a little worried about being late for his class.

But seeing that Hojo Saki Rei had no intention of standing up, he immediately decided to skip class.

Anyway, if Hojo Saki Rei didn't go, he wouldn't either.

He wanted to see what Hojo Saki Rei would talk about with Shiratori Kashiwa.

At the same time, he was also somewhat suspicious, was the relationship between Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashiwa really as Shiratori Kashiwa said?

After all, he was unwilling to believe that Asahi Rinka and Shiratori Kashiwa were both willing to be in a relationship with the same man.

Seeing Asahi Rinka walk out, Tanaka Taiwa quickly turned around and walked to the corner, hiding behind the wall of the School Infirmary.

It wasn't until he saw Asahi Rinka's figure disappear around the corner not far away that Tanaka Taiwa quietly and cautiously, like a thief, returned to his previous position.

"Saki Rei-kun, you really don't have to stay here with me. I won't do anything to let myself down, so you can rest assured."

Seeing Asahi Rinka leave, Shiratori Kashiwa said to Hojo Saki Rei with a smile.

Although she hadn't spent much time with Hojo Saki Rei and they had only known each other for a short time.

However, she didn't know why, but when Hojo Saki Rei was by her side, Shiratori Kashiwa felt as if her heart had settled down.

However, she also didn't want Hojo Saki Rei to fall behind in his studies because he was worried about her.

As for what Hojo Saki Rei had said before, she didn't believe that Hojo Saki Rei was telling the truth.

Otherwise, how could Hojo Saki Rei's grades be so good?

He could even solve the problems given by that Physics Professor?

"Shiratori Kashiwa, you can also rest assured. The Teacher doesn't really care if I go to class or not. Ever since I came to this school, I haven't seriously listened to a single class, and those Teachers have already gotten used to it."

"And without me, this black sheep, staying in the classroom and affecting other students, the Teacher might even be happier."

Hojo Saki Rei also said.

He naturally also saw what Shiratori Kashiwa was worried about, so he hit the nail on the head with one sentence.

Seeing Hojo Saki Rei say this, Shiratori Kashiwa didn't insist anymore.

Because she knew very well that Hojo Saki Rei in front of her truly considered her a friend.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing to stay here and accompany her.

Moreover, having Hojo Saki Rei here to accompany her indeed made her feel better.

"Saki Rei-kun, Rinka already told you, right?"

After about a minute of silence, Shiratori Kashiwa suddenly asked this question.

As she said this, her mood became even more depressed.

Before this, although she had many admirers around her.

But those people were just treated as fish that she kept...
