Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

"It's like this, Dad, hear me out first."

"Actually, this illness of mine isn't necessarily terminal. My body should have recovered quite a bit by now. In a few more days, I should be as healthy as before."

Tozawa Yota was about to say something, but Bai Niao Kashi interrupted him before he could finish, and Bai Niao Kashi said something like that.

"What?"

"Are you saying that you're mostly recovered now? That the terminal illness will be completely gone in a few days?"

As Bai Niao Kashi's words fell, Tozawa Yota was completely shocked by what Bai Niao Kashi said.

Indeed, the words Bai Niao Kashi said were too unbelievable.

"Yes, Dad, your daughter was diagnosed with cancer, but later Beitiaozaki Rei treated me. Beitiaozaki Rei said that after just two more treatments, I'll be completely fine."

Bai Niao Kashi said again, explaining everything that had happened before.

In an instant, Tozawa Yota was completely stunned.

But soon, he recovered.

"Daughter, is what you're saying true? Does he really have such ability?"

Tozawa Yota asked.

It wasn't that he didn't believe it, it was just that what his daughter said was something no one would dare to believe.

You must know, that's cancer!

If cancer were that easy to treat, then not so many people would have passed away after getting cancer.

Therefore, he simply couldn't believe what Bai Niao Kashi said. Instead, he thought that his daughter had been deceived by someone.

But thinking that if his daughter knew that this illness couldn't be cured at all, she would definitely be very sad.

And the reason why Hojo Saki Rei told his daughter that he could treat this illness was definitely just to comfort his daughter.

As a result, after questioning, he began to regret it.

"Dad, how could I possibly lie to you about something like this? Besides, when Beitiaozaki Rei treated me, I could feel it myself. I could feel that the lump had completely disappeared."

Just as Tozawa Yota was still regretting his rash suspicion, Bai Niao Kashi spoke again, and also talked about the changes in her body after being treated.

As Bai Niao Kashi finished speaking, Tozawa Yota finally realized that it seemed very likely that his daughter was telling the truth.

When he thought of this, a look of shock immediately appeared on Tozawa Yota's face.

"If you don't believe it, then we'll know if we go to the hospital for a check-up."

Seeing that Tozawa Yota still seemed a bit unbelievable, Bai Niao Kashi said again.

"There's no need to go to the hospital for now. Since you can feel all of this, then it should be true. It seems your classmate really has this ability."

Hearing Bai Niao Kashi say she wanted to go to the hospital, Tozawa Yota quickly stopped her and said.

Although he really didn't believe what Bai Niao Kashi said, if they went to the hospital for a check-up at this time and the result wasn't what they wanted, his daughter would definitely be very sad.

Therefore, Tozawa Yota had already decided that no matter whether Hojo Saki Rei could cure Bai Niao Kashi or not, he had to outwardly insist that he believed Hojo Saki Rei truly had that ability.

As if afraid that Bai Niao Kashi would mention going to the hospital for a check-up again, Tozawa Yota said again, "Daughter, this classmate of yours is very good. When you have time, bring him to our home."

Saying this, a smile also appeared on Tozawa Yota's face.

"Hehe, that's a must. Beitiaozaki Rei is amazing, and he's also the champion of the school's sports meet. Even that public lecture today, he was able to solve the problem given by that physics Professor."

When talking about Hojo Saki Rei, Bai Niao Kashi immediately showed a look of admiration.

"What? You mean, the classmate who treated you is the one who won many championships in the sports meet? And he was actually able to solve the problem the Professor gave today?"

Hearing Bai Niao Kashi say this, the image of Hojo Saki Rei also immediately emerged in Tozawa Yota's mind.

Although before this, Hojo Saki Rei had indeed given him a good impression, in the end, he was just a student, and Tozawa Yota didn't remember him at all.

But now, as Bai Niao Kashi finished speaking and learned that Hojo Saki Rei was also so amazing in the public lecture today, he immediately remembered Hojo Saki Rei.

Even, when he thought that Hojo Saki Rei was actually the person who cured his daughter's illness, his already good impression of Hojo Saki Rei increased even more.

Of course, the most important thing was.

The cancer his daughter had was breast cancer.

And listening to what Bai Niao Kashi said, Hojo Saki Rei used acupuncture to treat her, which means that his daughter's body had been seen by Hojo Saki Rei.

So at this time, Tozawa Yota naturally sincerely wanted Bai Niao Kashi to bring Hojo Saki Rei back to his home as a guest, because he also wanted to see what kind of person Hojo Saki Rei was.

"Of course, I'm not making this up. If you don't believe it, Dad, you can ask Irumada."

Seeing Tozawa Yota's shocked expression, Bai Niao Kashi immediately responded.

Irumada Minami, who was following behind them, heard Bai Niao Kashi's words and nodded in time, indicating that what Bai Niao Kashi said was true.

"This classmate is really amazing. If I'm not mistaken, that physics Professor must have given him a reward, right? This reward is really a great help to him."

Tozawa Yota said at this time.

He had already known about Yuta Sonomura being a physics Professor for a long time.

However, he didn't think highly of the students at the school and felt that the students at his school didn't have the ability to get a spot in the National Physics Competition from Yuta Sonomura, which is why he didn't appear at this public lecture.

"Dad, you must have known for a long time why that physics Professor came to our school, right?"

Seeing Tozawa Yota's excited face after hearing her say that Hojo Saki Rei had solved Yuta Sonomura's problem, and directly saying that Hojo Saki Rei must have received a reward, Bai Niao Kashi immediately realized that her father must have known about this for a long time.

"That's right, I've known for a long time, but I never expected or hoped that you would be favored by that Professor, after all, I am very clear about the strength of the students at our school."

Tozawa Yota nodded, then said, "It's just that I didn't expect that someone would actually be able to solve the problem he gave. Such a student is truly amazing!"

As they spoke, Tozawa Yota and the others had arrived at the parking lot.

As Bai Niao Kashi had said before, after Tozawa Yota dropped off Irumada Minami at her home, he took Bai Niao Kashi back home.

On the other side.

At this time, after Asuka returned home, she called Hojo Saki Rei.

Asuka didn't know about Hojo Saki Rei treating Bai Niao Kashi. The reason she called Hojo Saki Rei was simply to celebrate Hojo Saki Rei's solution to the physics Professor's problem today.

"Saki Rei-kun, you're amazing! How did you do it? You're so versatile, not only are you so good in other areas, but even in physics, you have knowledge reserves that surpass your peers."

After simple congratulations, Asuka began to praise Hojo Saki Rei.

At this time, Hojo Saki Rei had just arrived home. After answering Asuka's call, he originally thought Asuka wanted to talk about the martial arts coach issue, but he didn't expect her to call to congratulate him.

Looking at Asahi Rinka, who was blinking her big eyes at him, Hojo Saki Rei was somewhat unsure how to answer.

"Cough, cough, Asuka-san, what are you doing now?"

Hojo Saki Rei asked, trying to change the subject and thus hint to Asuka that he had something to do.

After all, Asahi Rinka was right there, and he couldn't exactly chat happily with another girl in front of Asahi Rinka.

If he did that, he was a little worried that Asahi Rinka would get jealous or angry or something.

As his words fell, Asuka on the other end of the phone immediately reacted.

"Saki Rei-kun, I just finished eating and I'm about to play a game now. What about you, Saki Rei-kun? I didn't disturb you, did I?"

When Asuka said this, she was a little worried, afraid that Hojo Saki Rei would say that she really disturbed him.

"No, no, I just got home, and I came back with Asahi Rinka."

Asahi Rinka's name had just come out of Hojo Saki Rei's mouth when Asuka on the other end of the phone was stunned.

"What?"

"Saki Rei-kun, are you saying that Asahi Rinka is at your house now?"

"Did you invite Asahi Rinka to your house as a guest?"

Asuka asked, her tone filled with excitement.

Actually, Asuka also wanted to go to the place where Hojo Saki Rei lived, to Hojo Saki Rei's house as a guest, because that way she could get closer to Hojo Saki Rei.

Since interacting with Hojo Saki Rei, Asuka had gradually discovered Hojo Saki Rei's strengths, and had become more and more fond of Hojo Saki Rei, so she naturally wanted to get more familiar with Hojo Saki Rei.

At this time, upon hearing Hojo Saki Rei say that Asahi Rinka had already gone to his place as a guest, she was suddenly a little envious of Asahi Rinka.

"Yes."

Although Hojo Saki Rei didn't know why Asuka was so excited.

But facing Asuka's question, he directly admitted it.

"Okay, then have fun with Asahi Rinka. I'm going back to playing my game."

From Hojo Saki Rei's answer, Asuka also heard that Hojo Saki Rei was somewhat perfunctory with her, and realized that Hojo Saki Rei was likely busy at the moment. After speaking, she directly hung up the phone.

Beep beep beep.

As the beeping sound came from the phone, Hojo Saki Rei also breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really a little worried about Asuka saying something random, after all, Asahi Rinka had proactively asked to come here to see the cat that could do a backflip.

If that made Asahi Rinka angry, or jealous or something, there might be no cat to see.

"Is Saki Rei-kun very busy every day after school?"

Just as Hojo Saki Rei had finished hanging up the phone, Asahi Rinka had already come before him with blinking eyes, staring at him with her big eyes.

Hearing this, Hojo Saki Rei was immediately taken aback.

Because he had no idea why Asahi Rinka would ask him that.

"No, just occasionally."

"After all, I'm currently tutoring Asuka privately, so sometimes we chat."

Facing Asahi Rinka's question, Hojo Saki Rei answered directly.

He just didn't know why, but seeing Asahi Rinka approach him, he felt a bit nervous.

"Hehe, Saki Rei-kun, are you feeling guilty?"

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei was actually a bit nervous, Asahi Rinka moved closer, even smiling as she asked softly.

Seeing her like this, Hojo Saki Rei didn't know why, but he inexplicably felt scared.

Although the girl in front of him looked very sweet and well-behaved, and her tone of voice gave off a teasing feeling.

But Hojo Saki Rei always felt that when she spoke, there seemed to be a hidden killing intent.

The appearance of this feeling made Hojo Saki Rei instinctively sense danger.

He knew very well that if he said something wrong at this moment, Asahi Rinka would definitely turn hostile towards him.

"What do you mean, feeling guilty? I haven't done anything bad."

Hojo Saki Rei tried hard to control himself and spoke.

In fact, he really hadn't done anything bad, as far as he was concerned.

However, for Asahi Rinka, that wasn't necessarily the case.

Whether it was Asahi Mafi or Tomoda Minako.

The things they had done were indeed not good for Asahi Rinka; on the contrary, they were quite unfair to Asahi Rinka.

"Hehe, I was just joking with Saki Rei-kun. Saki Rei-kun, are you afraid of me?"

Asahi Rinka leaned forward, and the distance between them became even closer.

So much so that Hojo Saki Rei could even smell the faint, orchid-like fragrance emanating from the girl's mouth.

"I'm afraid of you?"

"Rinka-san, I think you've gotten a bit too confident lately?"

Hojo Saki Rei never expected that because of his temporary retreat, Asahi Rinka would dare to get so close to him, and it seemed Asahi Rinka wasn't afraid of being 'eaten' by him at all, to the point she kept deliberately provoking him.

Instantly, Hojo Saki Rei no longer wanted to back down.

While speaking, he actively closed the distance between them.

So much so that their noses almost touched at this moment.

"Stop messing around. Where's your cat?"

Asahi Rinka couldn't handle Hojo Saki Rei's unusual behavior at all.

Just looking at Hojo Saki Rei, she couldn't help but want to 'eat' him.

At such a close distance now, she was a bit afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and would do something Hojo Saki Rei disliked.

As she spoke, she directly pulled away from him.

She asked with a calm expression.

She just didn't notice that her face had started to turn a bit red at some point.

"Hmph, you dare to challenge me?"

Seeing Asahi Rinka timid, Hojo Saki Rei thought she was scared and felt somewhat smug in his heart.

But thinking about the things Asahi Rinka had done before, he didn't continue to provoke her.

"The cat is sleeping by the windowsill; you can go look."

Hojo Saki Rei pointed towards the window. Asahi Rinka looked in the direction he pointed and, seeing that the black cat was still sleeping, decisively walked towards the cat.

"Wow, what a cute kitten! This is too adorable."

Having just arrived at the windowsill, seeing the kitten lying there sleeping comfortably, Asahi Rinka couldn't help but exclaim.

Girls naturally like cute things, especially Asahi Rinka who is in her adolescence. Seeing such a cute kitten sleeping so soundly, her heart was about to melt.

As she spoke, Asahi Rinka reached out to hug the kitten.

But the next moment, she saw the kitten open its eyes, and she quickly pulled back the hand she had just extended.

"Saki Rei-kun, your cat doesn't bite, right?"

Asahi Rinka asked somewhat worriedly.

Although the cat was cute, she was still afraid of being scratched.

After all, this was her first time meeting a cat.

"The cat doesn't bite, but did you really come here just to see the cat?"

Just as Asahi Rinka's words fell, an arm suddenly reached out from behind her. Asahi Rinka only felt her waist being embraced.

Immediately after, a familiar voice sounded by her ear.

Before Asahi Rinka could even turn around, a distinctly male scent had already brushed against her earlobe. Asahi Rinka instantly didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Without needing to think, Asahi Rinka knew who the person behind her was.

"Saki Rei-kun..."

For a moment, Asahi Rinka's voice became much smaller.

Although she had seemed very arrogant in front of Hojo Saki Rei just now, that was all just pretending, something she had learned from reading some picture books these past few days.

But now, when truly facing all of this, she started to panic.

Although Asahi Rinka had always wanted to 'eat' Hojo Saki Rei before.

But as time passed, and as she became more and more familiar with Hojo Saki Rei, Asahi Rinka also discovered that Hojo Saki Rei was simply too outstanding.

No matter in what aspect, the strength Hojo Saki Rei displayed was not something ordinary people could compare to.

So much so that Asahi Rinka didn't even have much confidence in herself anymore.

Before meeting Hojo Saki Rei, Asahi Rinka had always felt that there was no man in this world she wasn't worthy of, and that her appearance alone could captivate a large number of people.

And that was indeed the case.

However, when facing Hojo Saki Rei, she began to realize that she didn't seem to be that outstanding after all.

For example, in front of Hojo Saki Rei, she was very weak.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Asahi Rinka's voice become much smaller, Hojo Saki Rei suddenly felt the ambiguity rise.

Because he was too close to Asahi Rinka, his head was already leaning on Asahi Rinka's shoulder, and the girl's fragrance belonging to Asahi Rinka also entered his lungs through his breath at this moment.

This feeling made Hojo Saki Rei feel his body starting to heat up.

Hojo Saki Rei's voice came again by her ear, but Asahi Rinka didn't dare to move.

Because she could feel something pressing up from behind, which was a bit uncomfortable.

"N-nothing, Saki Rei-kun, can you let go of me? You're so hot."

Asahi Rinka said softly.

Asahi Rinka naturally liked the feeling of being hugged from behind, especially since the person was her favorite Saki Rei-kun.

However, she was also a bit worried inside.

"Let go of you?"

Hearing Asahi Rinka's words, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but frown.

The ambiguous atmosphere that had just surged up also dissipated at this moment.

In Hojo Saki Rei's opinion, Asahi Rinka had always had him in her heart and liked him very much.

After all, Asahi Rinka had attempted to force herself on him many times before.

It was just that Hojo Saki Rei hadn't made up his mind at the time, so he refused.

But now, when Hojo Saki Rei took the initiative, Asahi Rinka retreated at this moment.

For a moment, Hojo Saki Rei was a bit bewildered.

The feeling that Asahi Rinka had always loved him very much and wanted to be with him also dissipated considerably.

"Oh, okay."

Sensing that Asahi Rinka's body seemed a bit stiff, Hojo Saki Rei also knew that his action had made her uncomfortable.

Although he felt somewhat disappointed and was wondering if Asahi Rinka didn't like him anymore.

But Hojo Saki Rei wasn't the kind of person who liked to force others, so as he spoke, he decisively let go of Asahi Rinka.

"I'm sorry, Rinka-san, I was out of line just now."

Hojo Saki Rei took two steps back, bowed to Asahi Rinka, and then said.

"Huh?"

"Saki Rei-kun, I..."

Seeing Hojo Saki Rei's sudden action, Asahi Rinka instantly panicked.

She didn't expect that Hojo Saki Rei would choose to apologize to her, and because he had been too intimate with her before.

Looking at the distance Hojo Saki Rei seemed to have deliberately created, Asahi Rinka felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.

"You should go home. Actually, this silly cat's backflips and stuff are the ugliest."

Asahi Rinka wanted to say something, but before she finished, she was interrupted by Hojo Saki Rei.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say that, Asahi Rinka felt even worse.

"Saki Rei-kun, are you trying to drive me away?"

Asahi Rinka asked, her gaze towards Hojo Saki Rei full of seriousness.

"No, I just think that since you haven't gone back yet, Mafi Aunt will definitely be worried about you."

Hojo Saki Rei said with a serious expression.

Since Asahi Rinka was unwilling, he wouldn't force her.

Moreover, his action just now, and Asahi Rinka's reaction, made Hojo Saki Rei somewhat not want to face her.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

"Saki Rei-kun, I'm sorry."

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei wasn't joking at all, Asahi Rinka also nodded.

As her words fell, Asahi Rinka walked directly towards the outside.

"Wait."

Just as Asahi Rinka had only taken a few steps, Hojo Saki Rei's voice sounded in the room again.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei's voice, Asahi Rinka's steps stopped at this moment.

"I'll walk you out."

Just then, Hojo Saki Rei's voice came again.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say this, Asahi Rinka's expression became even uglier.

Originally, when she heard Hojo Saki Rei say "Wait," Asahi Rinka thought Hojo Saki Rei wanted her to stay, but she didn't expect him to actually want to walk her out.
