Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

"Police Officer, you're finally here! These people are the kidnappers!"

Seeing the Police arrive, Hojo Saki Rei didn't continue attacking. He took Bai Niao Kashi and walked towards the Police.

Seeing that Shiratori Kashi was safe, the Police Officers also breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they looked at Hojo Saki Rei, a hint of confusion appeared in their eyes.

Clearly, they found it hard to believe that these kidnappers were stopped by the student in front of them.

After all, no matter how they looked, they could see that Hojo Saki Rei had an innocent look.

"What's going on?"

When their gaze fell on the kidnappers, seeing them all grimacing in pain, a Police Officer looked at Hojo Saki Rei and asked.

"Police Officer, we want to report a crime! This guy, how he treated us, he's not human!"

The kidnapper whose two legs were broken by Hojo Saki Rei spoke, saying with a miserable face.

"That's right, Police Officer, you must uphold justice for us! We clearly had no ability to resist, but this scoundrel still attacked us. My leg is broken."

"We want to file a case! I want a lawyer."

"Police Officer, quickly arrest this dangerous person! He's too brutal."

As that person spoke, the other three who were beaten also spoke up at this moment.

Clearly, at this point, they had forgotten that they were the kidnappers and were acting as victims.

Hearing the words of these kidnappers, the Police Officer who was questioning Hojo Saki Rei also looked at him with a confused expression.

It was clear that after so many years of handling cases, it was his first time encountering such a situation. Kidnappers wanting to call the Police? This situation completely dumbfounded him.

"Police Officer, I am a student at Sakuragi High School. This kidnapped girl is also a student at our school. She can testify for me. These people's injuries really have nothing to do with me. The reason they were injured was due to a car accident."

Facing the Police Officer's confused expression, Hojo Saki Rei spoke at this moment.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say this, Shiratori Kashi also reacted at this moment.

"Yes, I can testify for Rei-kun. These people's injuries have nothing to do with him."

Saying this, Shiratori Kashi was somewhat afraid to look at the Police Officer in front of her.

Hearing the words of these kidnappers and Hojo Saki Rei, the Police Officer became even more confused for a moment.

Approaching the kidnappers, the Police Officer did a simple check and found that among these people, three of them had broken legs, and one person had suffered a violent impact to the lower abdomen, even breaking several ribs.

Turning his head to look at Hojo Saki Rei, the Police Officer's eyes were filled with shock.

After so many years of handling cases, it was his first time encountering this situation.

Based on the extent of these people's injuries, he naturally knew that they were likely man-made, but Hojo Saki Rei, in his eyes, was just a good student.

Most importantly, he didn't believe a student had such strength.

"Police Officer, you must handle the case justly and impartially! We are all victims."

The leader of the kidnappers spoke, looking pitiful.

"Alright, alright, you bad guys, don't think I don't know what you're trying to do. He's just a student, could he really have the ability to beat you up like this? I think you're just trying to extort him."

"And you've probably misunderstood the situation, haven't you? You are the kidnappers, and he's a student!"

"Stop wailing! Come with us to the Police Department for examination and to give your statements!"

Although he didn't know how Hojo Saki Rei managed to injure these kidnappers so severely, the Police Officer didn't forget the purpose of his visit.

After scolding these kidnappers a few times, he waved his hand, instructing the other Police personnel to take these people to the Police car and transport them to the Police Department.

"Two students, this case is truly too serious. I didn't expect these kidnappers to be so bold as to attempt a kidnapping outside the school gate."

"Although I don't know why they ended up like this, the matter has at least been resolved. We would like to ask the two students to accompany us back to the Police Department to give a statement..."

After the Police Officer finished speaking, he came over to Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi and continued speaking to them.

With such an incident having occurred, Hojo Saki Rei knew it was impossible to leave at this moment, so he could only nod and agree.

As for Shiratori Kashi, upon seeing Hojo Saki Rei nod and agree, she also followed directly.

Meanwhile, outside the school.

Asahi Rinka and the others, who had heard Hojo Saki Rei say he would take them elsewhere to eat, had been waiting for Hojo Saki Rei by the roadside for some time. However, they still hadn't seen Hojo Saki Rei drive out, and Asahi Rinka couldn't help but frown.

"What's going on? Did Rei-kun go by himself? Or does he not want to go anymore?"

Harue on the side asked.

They had originally already entered the restaurant, but Asahi Rinka received a call from Hojo Saki Rei saying he wanted to take them somewhere further away to eat.

As a result, they had been waiting here since leaving the restaurant.

They had been waiting for almost ten minutes, but Hojo Saki Rei still hadn't appeared. Harue couldn't help but suspect that Hojo Saki Rei was lying to them.

"Don't worry, it's very possible that Rei-kun is just getting ready to come out now."

Asahi Rinka, upon hearing Harue's words, also felt that something was a bit off with this matter.

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and dialed Hojo Saki Rei's number.

However, after calling for a while, she received no response.

But soon, they heard discussions among the surrounding students, talking about the kidnapping case outside the school gate, and even getting information about Hojo Saki Rei chasing the kidnappers.

Upon learning all of this, Asahi Rinka immediately began to worry about Hojo Saki Rei.

She no longer had any appetite for eating.

"You guys go eat first. I'll wait here for a bit, wait for news from Rei-kun. If Rei-kun knows I called him, he will definitely call me back."

Looking at Harue and Yoshida, who were still hungry with her, Asahi Rinka said to them.

Although they knew Asahi Rinka was worried and wanted to stay here to accompany her, they couldn't help with this kind of thing. So, after briefly comforting Asahi Rinka, they all went to eat.

Ding-a-ling!

And just as they left, Asahi Rinka's phone rang at this moment.

Asahi Rinka had kept her phone in her hand the whole time, afraid of missing a call from Hojo Saki Rei. The moment she heard the ringtone, Asahi Rinka quickly picked up her phone to look.

"Hello, Rei-kun, where are you now? Are you okay!"

As soon as the call connected, Asahi Rinka asked Hojo Saki Rei on the other end of the phone somewhat nervously.

At this time, Hojo Saki Rei was not in a Police car but was driving his own car, taking Shiratori Kashi to the Police Department.

Asahi Rinka answered the phone as soon as he called.

Originally, when Hojo Saki Rei got back into his car and saw the missed call from Asahi Rinka, he was somewhat afraid that Asahi Rinka might misunderstand or be angry.

But now, upon hearing Asahi Rinka worrying about his safety, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Asahi Rinka asking these questions meant that she likely knew what he had gone to do.

"I'm fine. Those people have been apprehended. We are currently heading to the Police Department to give statements."

Facing Asahi Rinka's question, Hojo Saki Rei had no intention of hiding anything, and there was no need to hide this kind of thing anyway.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say that the matter had been resolved, Asahi Rinka also felt relieved.

Upon learning that Hojo Saki Rei had actually gone after the kidnappers alone, she had indeed become quite worried about him.

"Okay, then when will you be back? Are you coming back for class? You probably haven't eaten yet, right? Do you need me to pack something for you and bring it to the classroom? You can eat it directly when you come back."

Asahi Rinka continued speaking on the phone.

"Ah?"

"No, no, I'll just grab something to eat outside later."

As soon as Asahi Rinka offered to pack him food, Hojo Saki Rei immediately refused.

Because that would be too much trouble for Asahi Rinka.

However, the words Asahi Rinka said also made Hojo Saki Rei feel very comforted.

Having a girl who always thinks of him, what more could he ask for?

Of course, this was just Hojo Saki Rei's thought at that moment.

After all, he couldn't make others sad just because of Asahi Rinka, could he?

Besides, this didn't align with his previous idea; he couldn't abandon the entire forest for one tree.

After talking to Asahi Rinka for a few more minutes, Asahi Rinka also learned that Hojo Saki Rei was driving his own car. She then told him to drive safely before hanging up the phone.

"I didn't expect Rinka-san to be so good to Rei-kun, even thinking of packing you food."

Seeing Hojo Saki Rei hang up the phone, Shiratori Kashi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke.

While Hojo Saki Rei was on the phone, Shiratori Kashi had been quietly listening to his conversation with Asahi Rinka, without deliberately trying to influence them.

"Rinka-san is indeed very good."

Hearing her words, Hojo Saki Rei didn't deny it and nodded directly.

After all, Asahi Rinka was truly exceptionally good to him.

But soon, he turned his head to look at Shiratori Kashi and said, "You are also very good."

As he said this, a smile appeared at the corner of Hojo Saki Rei's mouth.

As for Shiratori Kashi, because of that sentence from Hojo Saki Rei, she was somewhat too embarrassed to look him in the eye.

She just felt her face burning, not knowing if it was because she had been hit or because of Hojo Saki Rei's words, perhaps both.

Soon, guided by the Police, the car arrived at the Police Department.

Inside the school.

At this time, Tomoda Minako was resting. She had eaten casually in the school canteen at noon, so she naturally didn't know about what had happened outside the school.

She was still thinking about what to cook for Hojo Saki Rei when she got home after school, when her phone rang at that moment.

"Rei-kun?"

As soon as she answered the phone, Tomoda Minako called out Hojo Saki Rei's name, but before she could say anything, the voice of a Police Officer came from the other end.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Tomoda Minako, the homeroom Teacher of Class 3, Grade 2 at Sakuragi High School?"

The voice on the phone was somewhat serious and formal, which immediately made Tomoda Minako freeze.

But soon, the Police Officer on the phone continued to speak.

"Hello, Tomoda Minako Sensei, Hojo Saki Rei is currently at our Police Department..."

"What?"

Upon hearing that Hojo Saki Rei was at the Police Department, Tomoda Minako, who had just reacted, let out a cry of surprise.

Clearly, she found it somewhat hard to believe that Hojo Saki Rei would be at the Police Department.

But she quickly thought, had Hojo Saki Rei encountered some danger, or had he gotten into a conflict with someone?

"Hello, Police Officer, may I ask if Hojo Saki Rei committed a mistake?"

"He wasn't injured, was he? No..."

"Tomoda Minako Sensei, please don't worry, Hojo Saki Rei was not injured. Please listen to me first. The situation is like this: today at noon, a premeditated kidnapping case occurred outside the Sakuragi High School gate..."

Hearing Tomoda Minako's anxious voice on the phone, the Police Officer also knew that Tomoda Minako was worried about Hojo Saki Rei, worried about her student. So he quickly explained, recounting what had happened earlier to Tomoda Minako.

Upon hearing that Hojo Saki Rei was fine and had acted bravely, helping the Police catch the criminals, Tomoda Minako's hanging heart finally relaxed.

"Tomoda Minako Sensei, is it convenient for you to call the homeroom Teacher of Class Five? Their student, Shiratori Kashi, is currently still at our Police Department, and she is injured. We tried calling their homeroom Teacher's number, but it was unreachable, so..."

The Police Officer then began to explain the situation regarding Shiratori Kashi to Tomoda Minako.

Upon learning about this matter, Tomoda Minako's heart, which had just relaxed, became anxious again.

"What? You mean Shiratori Kashi was injured?"

Tomoda Minako asked anxiously.

She quickly added, "I can't reach their homeroom Teacher either. How about this, I'll come to the school myself. Are they all still at the Police Department now?"

After understanding the situation regarding Hojo Saki Rei and Shiratori Kashi from the Police Officer, Tomoda Minako immediately stood up from her seat and walked towards the office door.

Several Teachers nearby, upon hearing what Tomoda Minako said on the phone, also stood up at this moment.

"Minako-sensei, has something happened?"

Only Tomoda Minako and two other female Teachers were left in the office. Upon learning through the phone that a student was at the Police Department, they were naturally somewhat worried.

"It's nothing, please sit down for now. I'll go to the Police Department first."

Hearing a Teacher asking her, Tomoda Minako turned her head back, said this sentence somewhat flustered, and then ran out without looking back.
