Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

What's wrong, Principal?

Seeing Tozawa Yota's face darken and looking like he wanted to speak but hesitated, Hojo Saki Rei asked at this moment, although he was a little worried that Tozawa Yota might make things difficult for him.

Beitiaozaki Rei, you know about Shiratori Kashi having cancer, right?

Just when Hojo Saki Rei thought Tozawa Yota was bothered by something else, he heard Tozawa Yota ask.

Upon hearing this, Hojo Saki Rei was immediately a little confused.

He did know about this; otherwise, how could he possibly treat Shiratori Kashi?

Looking at Tozawa Yota in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei didn't know why he would ask this.

Since you already knew she had a terminal illness, why did you bring her to the hospital for an examination? I know that Beitiaozaki Rei, the reason you treated her yesterday was probably just to comfort her, right?

But now that she's come to the hospital, after this examination, she's bound to know that her condition hasn't improved at all, this...

Speaking up to this point, Tozawa Yota's face became even more unsightly.

Hearing Tozawa Yota's words, Hojo Saki Rei finally reacted.

At the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Tozawa Yota wasn't asking about his relationship with Shiratori Kashi, but was just worried that the examination would show Shiratori Kashi's condition hadn't improved.

Principal, actually, this matter...

I know, this was Shiratori Kashi's idea, right? Otherwise, how could she ask you to take her to the hospital immediately after class?

Actually, I don't blame you. After all, Shiratori Kashi already told me yesterday to take her to the hospital for an examination. But I know that terminal illnesses are very difficult to cure, unless it's a world-class Dr., and even those Dr.s might not have a way.

I can only say it's my fault this time, my fault for not calling her immediately after her class ended.

Hojo Saki Rei originally wanted to tell Tozawa Yota not to worry, that Shiratori Kashi's condition had been stabilized by him and had already made some progress.

But Hojo Saki Rei's words were misunderstood by Tozawa Yota before he could finish.

He even said a whole bunch of things.

Looking at Tozawa Yota in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei suddenly understood his mood at this moment.

In fact, as a father and also the Principal of a middle school, what Tozawa Yota cared about most was his daughter's health and whether his daughter was happy.

As for what Hojo Saki Rei was thinking, that Tozawa Yota might settle accounts with him after seeing Shiratori Kashi kiss him, Tozawa Yota had never thought about it.

Looking at the worried expression on Tozawa Yota's face, Hojo Saki Rei knew that he had to explain things clearly to him.

Principal, actually, you don't need to be so pessimistic. Although I'm just a student, in terms of medical skills, especially regarding cancer, I'm quite confident!

Tozawa Yota was still regretting that he couldn't keep an eye on Shiratori Kashi and let her come to the hospital for an examination.

While still thinking about what he should do if his daughter's examination results came out and affected her mood, Hojo Saki Rei's voice appeared again at this moment.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say that he was somewhat confident regarding cancer, the sadness in Tozawa Yota's eyes increased.

He didn't believe what Hojo Saki Rei said.

Of course, it wasn't just him; even if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't believe what Hojo Saki Rei said. He was just a middle school student; what ability could he have to treat cancer?

As for Hojo Saki Rei saying this so confidently, Tozawa Yota had even guessed another angle.

That is, Hojo Saki Rei treating Shiratori Kashi might also just be a plan of Shiratori Kashi's.

The purpose, naturally, was to stabilize himself.

All of this was because his daughter, Shiratori Kashi, didn't want to see him sad and upset for her.

Thinking of this, Tozawa Yota's mood naturally worsened.

Principal, I really can do this. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself after the examination results come out.

Seeing Tozawa Yota's face showing he didn't believe what he said, Hojo Saki Rei spoke again.

I'm afraid these examination results are the result of a conspiracy between you and Shiratori Kashi, right? The purpose is just to keep me from being sad and upset.

Alas, my daughter, she's not good at anything else, but she's filial. It's always been like this since she was a child. In other aspects, I rarely interfere with her because I know that no matter what she does, she won't do anything harmful, and she'll always think of me in everything she does.

Hojo Saki Rei: "..."

Hearing what Tozawa Yota in front of him said, Hojo Saki Rei was somewhat speechless.

Originally, after hearing what Tozawa Yota said, Hojo Saki Rei was afraid he would worry, so he guaranteed him. But he didn't expect Tozawa Yota to think so much.

Looking at the still rambling Tozawa Yota, Hojo Saki Rei suddenly didn't want to continue listening to him.

This old guy, he actually doesn't believe me?

And the way he is, he looks like a drama queen, really overthinking things.

Alright, since this matter was my daughter's idea, I will definitely cooperate fully when the time comes.

Although when I saw that article on the school forum, I even had the thought of hitting you, but considering you are the first boy my daughter liked, and given that my daughter doesn't have much time left, I won't hold it against you.

Although I don't know what your intentions are towards my daughter, can I ask you for one thing? Before my daughter passes away, can you stay with her?

I'm not trying to morally obligate you, I just hope she can live happily and joyfully through H...

Principal, you're really overthinking it!

Hearing Tozawa Yota's rambling in his ear made Hojo Saki Rei feel somewhat speechless.

It was the first time he had seen his Principal lose composure like this.

But thinking that all of this was because of his daughter, Hojo Saki Rei felt relieved.

However, given that he had doubted his medical skills time and again, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't tolerate it anymore.

Of course, there was another reason, which was that Hojo Saki Rei didn't want to listen to his rambling, and when he said those words, Hojo Saki Rei could clearly see that many people around seemed to be eavesdropping on their conversation.

The main thing was, Tozawa Yota's words were too... that.

Thus, facing the still rambling Principal, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help himself.

Principal, although I am just a student, I really do have a way to treat this illness. As for what you're saying, that simply doesn't exist.

Furthermore, your daughter and I, that is, Shiratori Kashiwa, are just ordinary friends and classmates. Our relationship is just a little better than others. Please, Principal, don't overthink things, and don't wrongly accuse me and Shiratori Kashiwa.

Hojo Saki Rei said with a serious expression.

Tozawa Yota, who was originally thinking of having a heart-to-heart talk with Hojo Saki Rei and asking him to date his daughter properly during this time and accompany her well, froze again after hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words.

Coming back to his senses and seeing Hojo Saki Rei's serious expression in front of him, Tozawa Yota found it hard to believe that those words had come out of Hojo Saki Rei's mouth.

Looking at Hojo Saki Rei in front of him, Tozawa Yota cautiously asked, "Beitiaozaki Rei, is what you just said true?"

Tozawa Yota looked at Hojo Saki Rei with a look of disbelief, his eyes fixed on Hojo Saki Rei.

Of course it's true. Do you really think I'm colluding with Shiratori Kashiwa to deceive you?

And Principal, look at what kind of hospital this is. Can this hospital forge medical records?

Hojo Saki Rei rolled his eyes and then said.

Boom!

These words came out of Hojo Saki Rei's mouth.

Tozawa Yota, who was originally thinking about various things and couldn't believe what Hojo Saki Rei said, was instantly stunned.

Then... then that means my daughter's condition has improved?

Tozawa Yota said, looking at Hojo Saki Rei with a shocked expression.

From Hojo Saki Rei's expression and the words Hojo Saki Rei said, Tozawa Yota also understood that Hojo Saki Rei was really not joking with him.

To be precise, Shiratori Kashiwa's illness has only gotten a little better. After all, it's still late-stage cancer, and to completely cure it, it will require at least two more treatments.

Facing Tozawa Yota's question, Hojo Saki Rei said without hesitation.

This... Is this true!

Tozawa Yota still found it hard to believe, but looking at Hojo Saki Rei's expression, he could tell that Hojo Saki Rei wasn't joking with him.

Alright, if you can cure my daughter, no matter what reward you want, I, Tozawa Yota, will definitely help you get it!

Learning that his daughter's cancer could actually be cured, Tozawa Yota quickly said.

As for whether what Hojo Saki Rei said was true or false, the result would be known as soon as Shiratori Kashi finished her examination.

I don't need any reward. I'm just going to become Shiratori Kashiwa's private tutor next, Principal. You just need to pay me a tutoring fee.

Hojo Saki Rei said nonchalantly.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say this, Tozawa Yota also somewhat believed what Hojo Saki Rei said at this moment.

Moreover, especially upon hearing that Hojo Saki Rei was going to become his daughter's private tutor, he felt somewhat excited.

As for paying Hojo Saki Rei's tutoring fee, Tozawa Yota naturally had no problem with it.

As long as his daughter could be cured, he wouldn't treat Hojo Saki Rei unfairly with the private tutoring fee.

The more he looked at Hojo Saki Rei in front of him, the more satisfied Tozawa Yota was at this moment.

Regarding the matter between Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi that had spread in the school, Tozawa Yota had originally thought about giving Hojo Saki Rei some warnings to prevent his daughter's reputation from being ruined, telling them to maintain distance in front of others.

But now, thinking about the post on the school forum about Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi, he felt somewhat happy.

I wonder if my daughter can seize this opportunity. She's always been very opinionated. If this Beitiaozaki Rei really has the ability to cure cancer, she absolutely must not let such a good opportunity slip away.

She must completely and firmly tie Hojo Saki Rei to her side!

It would be best to confirm their status as lovers...

Unconsciously, Tozawa Yota's mind began to scheme.

Of course, this was only based on the premise that Hojo Saki Rei could really cure Shiratori Kashi.

If Hojo Saki Rei couldn't cure Shiratori Kashi, then he would quickly contact the best Dr.s in the country to help his daughter with the treatment within a short time.

Time passed bit by bit. During this process, although Tozawa Yota was still very worried, seeing Hojo Saki Rei remain calm and steady like an old dog, he could only suppress his inner thoughts and wait quietly.

About an hour passed, and Shiratori Kashi had also finished her examination and came to the lobby to see Hojo Saki Rei and the others.

Seeing his daughter, Tozawa Yota was even more excited at this moment.

Daughter, are you done with the examination? When will the results be out?

Tozawa Yota walked over quickly, reaching Shiratori Kashi's side, and asked.

As his words fell, Shiratori Kashi immediately said, "As for the results, don't we take the films directly to the specialist's consultation room for them to see?"

Hojo Saki Rei, who was standing by, also found it a little funny when he heard their conversation.

He didn't expect the Principal to forget such common sense. It seems he was really too worried.

Saki Rei-kun, you've worked hard. You've been waiting here for so long, are you tired?

Not bothering with Tozawa Yota anymore, Shiratori Kashi turned her head to look at Hojo Saki Rei and then said with a concerned expression.

I'm fine. It's just your father who's been worried about you. Let's go get the films first and take them to the specialist for analysis.

Hojo Saki Rei suggested.

Taking the films to the specialist earlier at this time would also lead to an earlier conclusion, which would allow Tozawa Yota to feel relieved sooner.

After hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words, Shiratori Kashi immediately nodded in agreement and turned around, walking towards the printer for the films.

As for Tozawa Yota.

When he saw that his daughter's concern had always been for Hojo Saki Rei, and that she listened to Hojo Saki Rei so much, he was completely stunned.
