Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

After some speculation, Tanaka Taiwa still couldn't get the answer he wanted.

Helpless, he could only shake his head, thinking that after school, when other students went to see Shiratori Kashi, he would follow along.

He also wanted to know what exactly happened with Shiratori Kashi.

Of course, what concerned him the most was whether anything had happened between Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi.

He clearly remembered that Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi had entered the bathroom at the same time.

And after they both entered the bathroom, various strange sounds came from inside.

Especially the sounds Shiratori Kashi made, which made it easy for him to imagine that Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi were doing 'that' inside the bathroom.

Hearing the discussions of the other students around him at this moment, Tanaka Taiwa didn't take their words to heart. Instead, he lowered his head and lay on his desk.

It was as if he hadn't heard what the other students were discussing at all.

In the Teacher's office.

At this time, Tomoda Minako was grading homework, preparing to go straight home after school.

However, just then, the Class Three Teacher walked directly into the office and went straight to Tomoda Minako.

"Minako-sensei, are you grading homework?"

As soon as this Teacher arrived in front of Tomoda Minako, he immediately spoke.

Hearing someone talking to her, Tomoda Minako quickly looked up and saw the Teacher of her Class 5 looking at her with a smile.

"Teacher Uesugi Souta, shouldn't the next class be yours as well? Is something wrong? Why did you come to the office?"

Facing Teacher Uesugi Souta's question, Tomoda Minako didn't answer him directly. Instead, she was curious why he had returned to the office during the break.

After hearing Tomoda Minako ask this question, Uesugi Souta shook his head.

He then said, "Actually, it's nothing major. It's just that Beitiaozaki Rei from your Class 5 is not in the classroom right now, and he didn't attend my last class either. So I came over to ask if he had mentioned this to you."

After saying this, Uesugi Souta stopped talking and waited for Tomoda Minako's response.

Although Asahi Rinka had explained to Uesugi Souta the reason why Beitiaozaki Rei didn't attend class after entering the classroom,

However, Asahi Rinka's reason made Uesugi Souta feel as if he was being underestimated by Beitiaozaki Rei, or rather, he felt that Beitiaozaki Rei did this on purpose.

After all, Beitiaozaki Rei had been very disrespectful to him when attending his classes before.

Saying that he was accompanying another student in the School Infirmary this time, in his opinion, was just an excuse. It was clearly because Beitiaozaki Rei didn't like his class, which was why he found such a reason.

"What? You mean Beitiaozaki Rei is not in the classroom? Then where is he? Did he not return to the classroom this afternoon?"

For the words spoken by Uesugi Souta, the main point Tomoda Minako grasped was that Beitiaozaki Rei didn't attend class.

Of course, she didn't think Beitiaozaki Rei was deliberately targeting the Teacher in front of her. She was just curious about it and also a little worried about Beitiaozaki Rei's safety.

"He is not absent from school, nor did he not return to the classroom. It's just that, according to Asahi Rinka, he is accompanying another student in the School Infirmary, which is why he didn't come to the classroom for class."

Seeing Tomoda Minako's shocked expression, Uesugi Souta naturally knew that Beitiaozaki Rei had not clearly explained this matter to Tomoda Minako.

Therefore, he explained the whole situation, the cause and effect, to her.

"Oh, so that's how it is."

"If that's the case, then I think it's understandable. After all, they are only second-year high school students. If a student is in the School Infirmary, it's quite good to have a classmate accompany them."

Tomoda Minako completely failed to understand the hidden meaning in Uesugi Souta's words. After saying this, she lowered her head again and continued grading her homework.

But soon, she realized that Uesugi Souta had no intention of leaving.

Therefore, Tomoda Minako looked up again at Uesugi Souta in front of her and asked, "Um, Teacher Uesugi Souta, is there anything else? If not, I'll continue grading homework."

After saying this, Tomoda Minako waited for Uesugi Souta in front of her to speak.

From the fact that Uesugi Souta didn't choose to leave, Tomoda Minako could already tell that he definitely had something to say to her; otherwise, how could he continue standing there?

As for Uesugi Souta, upon hearing Tomoda Minako's words, he also felt somewhat awkward.

Because the feeling Tomoda Minako gave him was as if he was someone who tattled, and he was telling Tomoda Minako this matter so that she could help him regain face or something.

However, thinking about the unpleasant incidents that had occurred between him and Beitiaozaki Rei before, and then considering that Beitiaozaki Rei didn't even greet him this time and just didn't come to the classroom, he felt it was somewhat necessary to say something to Tomoda Minako.

"Um, Minako-sensei, it's like this. Before, there were some misunderstandings between me and Beitiaozaki Rei."

"Beitiaozaki Rei might also have some misunderstandings about me. Do you think Beitiaozaki Rei might not plan to attend my class because of this reason?"

"I already know about Beitiaozaki Rei's performance in the public class today and the physics Professor's praise for him. Perhaps there was a little misunderstanding between Beitiaozaki Rei and me before, but I really don't want to give up on such a talented person, so..."

"Teacher Uesugi Souta, I think you might really have some misunderstandings about Beitiaozaki Rei. Beitiaozaki Rei would not choose to deliberately not attend your class because of such a misunderstanding, or even because he received praise from that physics Professor."

"I know him quite well. The reason he didn't come to the classroom for your class, in my opinion, should indeed be because he had to accompany another student in the School Infirmary."

Uesugi Souta wanted to say something else, but before he could finish, Tomoda Minako had already clearly understood what he wanted to express, so she directly interrupted him.

"Teacher Uesugi Souta, please don't worry. I understand Beitiaozaki Rei quite well. He is not a petty person."

"Moreover, studying is a good thing for him. He wouldn't deliberately not attend your class because of some small conflict with you."

"Please rest assured about this matter. If you, Teacher, still have any questions, I will go find Beitiaozaki Rei after school and explain it clearly to him. At the same time, I also think his behavior needs to be corrected, and I will admonish him then."

Seeing the awkward look on Uesugi Souta's face, Tomoda Minako knew that even he felt embarrassed by what he had said.

To give Uesugi Souta a way out, Tomoda Minako spoke again.

As Tomoda Minako's words fell, the expression of Teacher Uesugi Souta in front of her returned to normal quite a bit.

"Yes, yes, yes, I was thinking too much. I also think Beitiaozaki Rei is not that kind of person."

"Then I'll leave all this to Minako-sensei. It's almost time for class now, so I'll go to the classroom to prepare."

After hearing Tomoda Minako's words, Teacher Uesugi Souta nodded repeatedly.

From Tomoda Minako's words, he also understood that Tomoda Minako was on Beitiaozaki Rei's side.

So Uesugi Souta had no intention of staying here and continuing to talk. He pretended to look at his watch and then said,

"Then Teacher Uesugi Souta, take care. Don't worry, I will definitely explain this matter clearly to Beitiaozaki Rei."

Seeing that Uesugi Souta had no intention of staying here, Tomoda Minako also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Actually, everything Tomoda Minako said came from her heart, because in her opinion, Beitiaozaki Rei was not that foolish.

However, she also felt that this Teacher Uesugi Souta was quite nice, at least a dedicated and responsible Teacher.

If it were other Teachers who encountered such a problem, they would not even bother to greet him or think about the students.

She also didn't think this Teacher Uesugi Souta was making a big deal out of nothing. She just felt that this Teacher Uesugi Souta must have recognized Beitiaozaki Rei's ability and didn't want to lose such a good student.

Looking at Uesugi Souta's retreating back, Tomoda Minako felt somewhat restless for a moment and couldn't continue grading homework.

"By the way, who is Beitiaozaki Rei accompanying in the School Infirmary? And Teacher Uesugi Souta already said that Asahi Rinka helped him ask for leave. Does he know other girls?"

"The most important thing is, the student in the School Infirmary shouldn't be from our Class 5. Otherwise, the School Doctor over there would have called me already."

Thinking of this, Tomoda Minako became even more curious about this matter. Which student was in the School Infirmary that made Beitiaozaki Rei not even have the mind to attend class, and it was Asahi Rinka who helped Beitiaozaki Rei ask for leave?

"Forget it, I'll know when I go check after school. Let's finish grading the homework first."

Unable to figure out what was going on, Tomoda Minako had no intention of thinking further and quickly started grading homework again.

Time passed little by little, and soon the last class ended.

From the moment the class bell rang, the students of Class Five and that Teacher were already rushing towards the direction of the School Infirmary.

Of course, in addition to the students and Teacher from Class Five, Tomoda Minako and Asahi Rinka also headed straight for the School Infirmary at this time.

In the School Infirmary office, the School Doctor was still calling Tozawa Yota.

Tozawa Yota's call hadn't connected yet, but a lively sound came from the School Infirmary.

Upon hearing the noisy sounds coming from the School Infirmary, he chose to put his phone on the desk and then opened the office door.

Immediately after, he saw that the School Infirmary was already filled with students and Teachers.

When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion.

"Teachers, why are you here? Is something wrong?"

The moment he saw the Teacher from Class Five, the School Doctor, who had been curious about this, immediately reacted. At the same time, he also knew the purpose of this Teacher and the students coming here. He still pretended not to know anything and went up to greet them with a smile.

"Oh, Dr., has Shiratori Kashi not returned yet?"

As soon as he arrived, the Teacher from Class Five started looking for Shiratori Kashi, but after scanning around, he found that the School Infirmary was still empty and there was no sign of Shiratori Kashi.

At this time, seeing the School Doctor come out, he couldn't help but quickly ask.

"Yes, wasn't it said that Shiratori Kashi was in the School Infirmary? Why don't we see her?"

"Could it be that Shiratori Kashi already left after school?"

"What's going on? Didn't the Teacher tell us to come see Shiratori Kashi? Why isn't she here?"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, listen to what the Teacher and the School Doctor say."

"..."

Seeing the Teacher talking to the School Doctor about Shiratori Kashi, the students of Class Five also started discussing among themselves at this time.

Everyone felt somewhat strange about this. Weren't they told to come here to see Shiratori Kashi? Why didn't they see Shiratori Kashi anywhere?

As for Tanaka Taiwa in the crowd, upon seeing that there was no one here, his brows also furrowed at this moment.

But immediately after, his gaze moved to the bathroom door. When he saw that the bathroom door was still closed, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

But immediately after, a feeling of anger ignited in his chest.

"What's going on? Could it be that they haven't come out yet?"

"Hmph, I hope you've already left here, otherwise I will definitely make you look bad today!"

Thinking this in his heart, while others were still discussing why they didn't see Shiratori Kashi, Tanaka Taiwa walked directly towards the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom.

When they heard the noisy sounds outside, both Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi's faces immediately showed a panicked expression.
