Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

School was dismissed in the afternoon.

Asahi Rinka had just stepped out of the school when she immediately dialed Hojo Saki Rei's number.

"Who are you calling? School just ended. Haven't you had enough talking after a whole day of school?"

In the car.

Asahi Mafi couldn't help but ask with some confusion after seeing her daughter make a phone call.

"Just focus on driving."

Facing Asahi Mafi's question, Asahi Rinka didn't even spare her a glance and replied directly.

At the same time, a hint of worry appeared on her face.

Asahi Mafi was only a little curious at first, but upon hearing Asahi Rinka's words, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her.

Seeing the worried expression on her face, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Needless to say, Asahi Mafi could already guess who Asahi Rinka was calling.

She just didn't understand, wasn't Asahi Rinka sitting next to Hojo Saki Rei?

If there was anything, she could have said it directly in school, why wait until after school to call?

"Could it be that another misunderstanding has occurred between them?"

Asahi Mafi couldn't help but think to herself once again.

When she thought of this, her brows furrowed even more intensely.

After all, she didn't want Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka to have any misunderstandings.

If that were the case, she would be the one feeling distressed.

And just as she was thinking about various things, Asahi Rinka's call had already connected.

"Saki Rei-kun, where are you now?"

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

As for Hojo Saki Rei, he also felt a bit confused upon receiving the call from Asahi Rinka.

After all, they had just attended class together this morning, and now Asahi Rinka was calling him directly, was something the matter?

Although he didn't know what was going on with Asahi Rinka, Hojo Saki Rei still answered her directly.

"I'm at home, what's wrong?"

Hojo Saki Rei replied.

Upon asking this, he heard Asahi Rinka on the other end of the phone evidently letting out a sigh of relief.

Feeling this, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but become even more confused.

"Um... I just wanted to ask, did Saki Rei-kun do anything today?"

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei say he was at home, Asahi Rinka immediately thought of what she wanted to ask and spoke again.

As for Hojo Saki Rei on this end of the phone, he was baffled by her question.

Where did he go today?

Why would Asahi Rinka suddenly ask him such a question?

Looking at Shiratori Kashi in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei frowned deeply. He didn't believe that Asahi Rinka would ask him such a question for no reason. After all, where he went, how could Asahi Rinka possibly care?

Therefore, Hojo Saki Rei quickly guessed what Asahi Rinka wanted to ask him.

Thinking of this, Hojo Saki Rei also knew that Asahi Rinka must have heard something from someone else, which is why she was asking him.

So, he immediately said:

"Actually, I didn't go anywhere, I just had a meal with Shiratori Kashi. As you know, the last time I treated Shiratori Kashi, it wasn't completely cured, and I was looking for Shiratori Kashi today to treat her."

"Did someone tell you something?"

Knowing that if he didn't say anything, it might cause Asahi Rinka to be suspicious, or even lead to a misunderstanding, Hojo Saki Rei immediately spoke up and told her about going to the hotel with Shiratori Kashi.

After he finished speaking, Asahi Rinka on the other end of the phone also breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was on the phone just now, she had already thought of a possible outcome in her heart, which was that Hojo Saki Rei wouldn't tell her where he had gone.

And if Hojo Saki Rei really did that, it would be telling Asahi Rinka that he didn't want her to know.

As for why he didn't want Asahi Rinka to know, there were naturally things that needed to be hidden.

This was also what Asahi Rinka was worried about.

But now, Hojo Saki Rei directly told Asahi Rinka where he went.

As a result, upon hearing Hojo Saki Rei say this, Asahi Rinka also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since Hojo Saki Rei was willing to tell her the truth directly, it meant that Hojo Saki Rei had nothing to hide.

After thinking of this, Asahi Rinka's mood instantly improved.

"That's right, I naturally know about this matter."

"So, that means Shiratori Kashi is with you now?"

Asahi Rinka continued to ask.

"Yes, but you still haven't told me if someone said something to you."

Hearing Asahi Rinka asking about Shiratori Kashi, Hojo Saki Rei replied to her again.

"No, I was just a little curious about what Saki Rei-kun does after he goes back home."

On the other end of the phone, upon hearing Hojo Saki Rei ask if someone had told her something, Asahi Rinka was clearly a little flustered.

But soon, she denied Hojo Saki Rei's question.

Actually, Asahi Rinka didn't want to lie about this.

But if she didn't lie, wouldn't that be telling Hojo Saki Rei that she started to suspect him after hearing Tanaka Taiwa's words and seeing those photos?

Asahi Rinka naturally refused to do this.

If Hojo Saki Rei really knew that she had started to suspect him, or even called to question him, wouldn't their relationship have a rift?

As for Hojo Saki Rei, he didn't believe Asahi Rinka's words.

However, since Asahi Rinka was unwilling to say, he would not continue to ask.

That would indeed not be good.

"Um, Saki Rei-kun, have you eaten yet? It's been a long time since I've been with Shiratori Kashi. How about I come over to your place to play for a while?"

Before Hojo Saki Rei could say anything else, Asahi Rinka on the other end of the phone spoke again.

Asahi Mafi, who was driving, immediately slammed on the brakes upon hearing Asahi Rinka's words.

Asahi Rinka, who hadn't reacted, lurched forward a bit, almost hitting the front.

"Mom, what are you doing?"

Asahi Rinka, who almost hit the front, turned her head to look at Asahi Mafi and then asked.

Asahi Mafi also felt somewhat guilty about her actions just now.

Because of her sudden brake, her daughter almost hit the front.

"No... nothing, I just heard you say you were going to Saki Rei-kun's place, so I thought about braking, but it seems the brakes aren't very good."

Asahi Mafi said with some guilt.

When Asahi Rinka was on the phone, she had actually been listening carefully to the conversation between Asahi Rinka and Hojo Saki Rei.

"What's wrong?"

"Did something happen over there?"

Hojo Saki Rei on this side, upon hearing the conversation between Asahi Rinka and Asahi Mafi on the other end of the phone, also immediately became a little worried.

From the conversation between Asahi Rinka and Asahi Mafi, Hojo Saki Rei could hear that Asahi Rinka seemed to be a little angry at this time.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have spoken to Asahi Mafi in that tone.

So, he started to ask.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei's voice coming from the phone again, Asahi Rinka also realized at this time that she was still on the phone with Hojo Saki Rei.

"No... nothing, my mom just accidentally stepped on the brake."

"Saki Rei-kun, can I come over and play for a while now? I'll just play for a bit and then go home. I definitely won't stay and bother Saki Rei-kun."

After explaining a bit, Asahi Rinka repeated her request from earlier.

"Uh..."

Hearing that Asahi Mafi had accidentally stepped on the brake, Hojo Saki Rei's mouth couldn't help but twitch a little. It was the first time he had heard that the brake could be accidentally stepped on.

Most importantly, Asahi Mafi was an experienced driver, how could she accidentally step on the brake?

However, that wasn't the main point. The main point was that Asahi Rinka said she wanted to come over to play.

Regarding Asahi Rinka's request, Hojo Saki Rei actually didn't want to agree.

After all, Tomoda Minako would definitely be back soon, and if she came back, she would definitely cook him dinner.

The thought of Tomoda Minako making him a sumptuous dinner and calling him to eat, and then being seen by these people, who would definitely start to overthink and guess the relationship between him and Tomoda Minako, made Hojo Saki Rei feel a bit of a headache.

However, he also knew that Asahi Rinka was planning to come over because she knew Shiratori Kashi was with him.

If he refused, Asahi Rinka would definitely overthink even more.

The key was that he and Shiratori Kashi were alone in the same room, a single man and a single woman.

This kind of thing, let alone Asahi Rinka, even he might overthink.

So, Hojo Saki Rei could only nod and agree.

"In that case, then come over."

"It just so happens that Mafi Aunt is driving you now, so you two can come directly, provided Mafi Aunt has the time, of course."

Hojo Saki Rei said.

The reason he asked Asahi Mafi to come over was also because Hojo Saki Rei had moved to a different place.

And Asahi Mafi had only been to the apartment he lived in before.

As for after he moved, Asahi Mafi had never been here once.

Coming over this time would also allow her to learn the way.

"Really? Saki Rei-kun, you agreed, you're not allowed to go back on your word."

"Saki Rei-kun, send me your address, and I'll come over right away."

After getting Hojo Saki Rei's agreement, Asahi Rinka seemed very happy. After speaking, she immediately hung up the phone, as if afraid that Hojo Saki Rei would go back on his word, not giving him any chance to refuse.

Seeing the hung-up phone, Hojo Saki Rei shook his head, feeling a bit speechless.

Was he really the kind of person who easily went back on his word?

Since he had already agreed to her, Hojo Saki Rei naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

Moreover, this wasn't a big deal for Hojo Saki Rei.

It had been a few days since he moved in, and it was time for them to know where he lived.

"Saki Rei-kun, is Asahi Rinka coming over?"

Shiratori Kashi, who was sitting on the sofa next to Hojo Saki Rei, couldn't help but guess that Asahi Rinka was checking up on him after hearing the conversation between Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka.

She also felt a little nervous in her heart.

But after hearing Hojo Saki Rei's explanation to Asahi Rinka and their attitude when they spoke later, she felt much more relaxed.

After all, she didn't want Asahi Rinka to know that she also liked Hojo Saki Rei.

Of course, if Asahi Rinka didn't come over, Shiratori Kashi naturally thought that she must win over Hojo Saki Rei tonight.

After experiencing all this, after the incident where she confessed to Hojo Saki Rei today.

In fact, Shiratori Kashi had already started to regard Hojo Saki Rei as her man from the bottom of her heart. Since that was the case, she naturally wanted to win over Hojo Saki Rei as soon as possible.

Only by doing this could she feel at ease and secure.

Moreover, what she said to Hojo Saki Rei before was also true, she really didn't care about the title or anything.

As long as she could be with Hojo Saki Rei, that was enough for Shiratori Kashi.

After all, she also knew how excellent Hojo Saki Rei was.

Furthermore, there were countless beauties around Hojo Saki Rei.

For example, top beauties like Asahi Rinka, as well as the presence of Kono Mika and Tomoda Minako.

With so many potential love rivals, she knew that it was simply impossible for her to have Hojo Saki Rei all to herself.

So, Shiratori Kashi also came to terms with it. As long as Hojo Saki Rei was willing to spend a little time with her occasionally.

For her, that was already enough to make her satisfied.

But who would have thought that Asahi Rinka was coming over now?

For a moment, her gaze towards Hojo Saki Rei was full of confusion.

"Yes, they are preparing to come over now. I'll send her the location first."

Facing Shiratori Kashi's question, Hojo Saki Rei answered without any hesitation.

After speaking, he opened the chat application and sent his address to Asahi Rinka.

After doing all this, Hojo Saki Rei also thought of Tomoda Minako again at this time.

"I wonder if Minako-neechan will continue to cook after she comes back. If she does cook, it would actually be quite nice."

Thinking that he had already agreed to let Asahi Rinka and the others come over to play anyway, Hojo Saki Rei simply let go of the thought.

So, after taking out his phone, he directly called Tomoda Minako.

At this time, Tomoda Minako was also driving on her way to the supermarket.

The thought of being with Hojo Saki Rei again after she got back made Tomoda Minako feel happy involuntarily. (End of Chapter)
