Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Then, Hojo Sakirei and Asahi Rinka walked out of the school one after another.

"Mom."

As soon as she walked out of the school gate, Asahi Rinka saw that Asahi Mafumi had been waiting there for a long time, and a look of guilt immediately appeared on her face.

But soon, she saw that Asahi Mafumi's gaze towards Hojo Sakirei seemed a little strange, and she couldn't help but quiet down.

"Mom must have seen what just happened, right?"

Asahi Rinka thought to herself.

However, thinking that she and Hojo Sakirei were both still in school and hadn't come out, even if her mother saw it, she shouldn't suspect her. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mom is looking at Sakirei-kun like that, does she also think that Sakirei-kun and I are a good match?"

Raising her head, she saw Asahi Mafumi still staring at Hojo Sakirei, and she couldn't help but feel a little secretly pleased.

As for her mother, Asahi Rinka felt that the most correct thing she had done in her life was to let Hojo Sakirei become her private tutor.

"Aunt Mafumi, you're here to pick up Rinka."

Seeing Asahi Mafumi staring at him, Hojo Sakirei immediately knew that it must be his charm value causing it.

Being stared at like this by someone always made him feel a little uncomfortable, so he took the lead in breaking the silence.

After Hojo Sakirei's words fell, Asahi Mafumi finally reacted.

"Yes, yes, yes, no..."

Asahi Mafumi, who had reacted, felt that she had been a little impolite just now and quickly waved her hand, but soon realized she had said the wrong thing again.

Not only Hojo Sakirei, but even Asahi Rinka, who was standing next to her, looked confused when she saw her mother acting like this.

"It's like this, Hojo-kun, can I invite you to our house?"

"Also, about the private tutoring I talked to you about last time, do you still remember?"

Asahi Mafumi, seeing both of them looking at her with strange eyes, quickly said this as soon as she had organized her thoughts.

Hojo Sakirei was stunned when he heard Asahi Mafumi's words.

He had just gone out to eat with Asahi Mafumi yesterday, so why was Asahi Mafumi inviting him to her house now?

Although he was very curious and didn't know what Asahi Mafumi was going to do.

However, since Asahi Mafumi had brought up the matter of private tutoring, Hojo Sakirei could only agree.

Anyway, there wasn't anything else to do when he went back.

"Yes, I remember, Aunt Mafumi."

"Since that's the case, let's go!"

Hojo Sakirei said politely.

Seeing that he agreed, a smile immediately appeared on Asahi Mafumi's face.

Just now, she was really a little worried that Hojo Sakirei would refuse because he was back in school and had homework to do.

She didn't expect Hojo Sakirei to agree so quickly, so she was naturally very happy about it.

As for Asahi Rinka, who was standing next to them, she couldn't help but feel very confused after hearing them talk about private tutoring.

"Wait, the private tutoring you're talking about, is Sakirei-kun tutoring me again?"

Asahi Rinka asked somewhat shyly.

Although her grades had indeed improved now, if Hojo Sakirei could continue to be her private tutor, she would still be very willing.

After all, this way, she could be with Hojo Sakirei at any time.

At school, they were deskmates, and after school, they would go home together to study.

Thinking of this, Asahi Rinka just felt so happy!

Looking at her mother, she suddenly felt that her mother was really too good to her.

Knowing that she liked Hojo Sakirei, she actually renewed the previous private tutoring contract with Hojo Sakirei behind her back.

This was really great!

Hearing Asahi Rinka ask her and look at her with such eager eyes, Asahi Mafumi suddenly panicked a little.

After all, this time the private tutoring was not arranged for her daughter, but for herself.

But soon, she had adjusted her emotions and also knew how to deal with Asahi Rinka.

"Of course not.

You don't need a private tutor anymore.

It's the private tutor that Mom needs."

When she said this, her face was full of gentle expression.

Seeing Asahi Mafumi say this, although Asahi Rinka felt a little disappointed, she quickly imagined that Asahi Mafumi was helping her.

After all, she really didn't need a private tutor anymore.

If she were to renew the contract with Hojo Sakirei at this time, it might make Hojo Sakirei a little suspicious.

What's more, Hojo Sakirei might not even agree.

But what if this private tutor was hired by Asahi Mafumi herself?

This way, it would be very reasonable.

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

"Mom, Sakirei-kun, I'm sorry!"

"I was impolite just now."

"But Mom, what kind of private tutor do you need Sakirei-kun to be?

Sakirei-kun is so knowledgeable and talented, even Mom has to hire him as a private tutor.

That's really amazing!"

Asahi Rinka asked very curiously.

"We'll talk about it when we get back."

Seeing Asahi Rinka's curious face, and since they were on the street, Asahi Mafumi didn't answer at this time for fear that Asahi Rinka might throw a tantrum or something.

Instead, she had the two of them get in the car with her and drove straight back home.

On the other side.

Over at Kono Mika's place.

As soon as she got home, Kono Mika started cooking.

Thinking of what Hojo Sakirei had said today, Kono Mika felt more and more confident about the future.

However, thinking that her parents had both passed away.

Now, only she and her older sister were left in the whole family, depending on each other.

Her sister had entered society early and worked hard so that she could go to school.

Thinking of this, she felt very sorry for her sister and didn't know how she should tell her sister about these things next.

"Mika, you're home from school.

How was your day?"

Just as Kono Mika was still cooking, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance.

Walking out of the kitchen, she saw her older sister, Kono Mariko, changing into her slippers.

Although her sister looked a little tired, there was always a smile on her face.

Seeing her sister like this, a few crystal clear tears suddenly fell from the corners of Kono Mika's eyes.

"Huh?"

"Mika, what's wrong?

Did something unhappy happen?"

"Or were you bullied at school?"

"Little sister, what's wrong?

Don't scare your sister."

Kono Mariko felt a pang of heartache when she saw her younger sister crying.

Although Kono Mariko had started working early in society so that her younger sister could continue going to school.
