Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

"What's going on? Why hasn't my daughter returned after such a long time?"

Over at Suzuki Takumi's side.

He had originally planned to rest, but seeing that his daughter still hadn't returned, he became worried and immediately called her.

However, as soon as the call went through, the phone on the other end was off.

For a moment, Suzuki Takumi's brows furrowed unpleasantly.

"Chiyo, what's going on with the young lady? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

A somewhat anxious Suzuki Takumi called for his driver, Chiyodani Souta, and asked with a frown.

When he returned, he had heard Chiyodani Souta say that Asuka had gone to Hojo Saki Rei's place for a gathering.

Because of this, Suzuki Takumi had felt quite at ease.

But since Asuka still hadn't returned by now, Suzuki Takumi naturally couldn't stand it, and his heart began to worry about Asuka's safety.

"Master, the young lady probably won't be back tonight."

"Actually, Master doesn't need to worry at all. After all, the one who invited the young lady was Saki Rei-kun. Saki Rei-kun is so capable, how could he possibly let the young lady encounter any danger?"

"Besides, when I took the young lady to the gathering this time, Kono Mika was also with her, and even the location of the gathering was at a Teacher's house, so there shouldn't be any problems over there."

Chiyodani Souta saw Suzuki Takumi's worried expression and naturally knew he was concerned about Asuka, so he quickly voiced his thoughts.

"I know all that you're saying, but she's a girl, if this were..."

Just as Chiyodani Souta's words had fallen, Suzuki Takumi spoke again, but he stopped just as he reached this point.

Then, a hint of light appeared in his eyes at this moment.

Looking at Chiyodani Souta in front of him, Suzuki Takumi asked directly, "Chiyo, at the place where the young lady is having the gathering, are there many male classmates?"

When Suzuki Takumi asked this, his gaze remained fixed on Chiyodani Souta.

"Huh?"

Hearing Suzuki Takumi ask him this, Chiyodani Souta was momentarily unsure why he was asking this question.

But soon, he reacted.

After all, Asuka had gone to a gathering, and it seemed she didn't plan on returning late at night.

So Chiyodani Souta also knew what Suzuki Takumi was actually worried about when he asked him this.

Therefore, Chiyodani Souta quickly said, "Master, please rest assured. The young lady's gathering this time actually only has one boy, and that boy is Saki Rei-kun, whom Master knows."

When Chiyodani Souta mentioned Hojo Saki Rei, his eyes were filled with admiration.

If it were in the past, when mentioning a young person, Chiyodani Souta would definitely show a look of disdain.

After all, to him, a high school student like Hojo Saki Rei was nothing more than a little brat in his eyes.

However, since meeting Hojo Saki Rei, he had seen many shining qualities in Hojo Saki Rei that he hadn't even seen in middle-aged people.

In particular, the strength Hojo Saki Rei had displayed had also earned his recognition.

Hearing Chiyodani Souta's words, Suzuki Takumi's previously very worried mood immediately relaxed considerably.

If there were other boys, then Suzuki Takumi would indeed be worried, worried that the cabbage he had painstakingly raised would be devoured by wild boars.

But if it was Hojo Saki Rei, Suzuki Takumi naturally wouldn't have any worries at all.

If he had to say there was one, it could only be the worry that his family's cabbage wouldn't be devoured.

After all, he also greatly admired a young person like Hojo Saki Rei.

If he had to choose between other boys and Hojo Saki Rei to be his future son-in-law, he would choose Hojo Saki Rei without hesitation.

"Okay, if that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about."

Seeing Chiyodani Souta still looking at him, Suzuki Takumi spoke.

Saying this, he nodded.

The worry on his face had also vanished without a trace at this moment.

Seeing that there was no longer any worry on Suzuki Takumi's face, Chiyodani Souta also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

"Alright, since the young lady's phone can't be reached, that means she really doesn't plan on coming home tonight. Since that's the case, you should go rest too. Go to that place early tomorrow to take the young lady to school."

Suzuki Takumi looked at Chiyodani Souta in front of him, then said to him.

Hearing Suzuki Takumi say this, Chiyodani Souta immediately nodded in agreement and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, over at Principal Tozawa Yota's side.

Seeing that his daughter, Bai Niao, hadn't come home, he was actually a little worried.

But thinking that his daughter had gone to Hojo Saki Rei's place for treatment today, he felt that his worry was unnecessary.

However, he waited and waited, but Bai Niao still didn't return.

For a moment, Tozawa Yota also started to panic a little, deeply afraid that something bad would happen to Bai Niao again.

After all, Bai Niao had been involved in a kidnapping case.

Now, with his daughter not home so late, how could he, as a father, not feel worried about it?

However, thinking that Hojo Saki Rei might be treating her now, Tozawa Yota, who wanted to make a call, was somewhat hesitant and could only guard his phone, waiting for Bai Niao to call him.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Just as Tozawa Yota was thinking about whether his daughter wouldn't come back tonight but would stay directly at Hojo Saki Rei's place, his phone rang at this moment.

Picking up the phone, he saw that it was his daughter, Bai Niao, calling. Tozawa Yota's previously worried mood also dissipated at this moment.

"Dad, I won't be coming back tonight. I'll go to school with Minako-sensei and the others tomorrow. You don't need to worry about me, I'm at Minako-sensei's house right now."

As soon as the call connected, Tozawa Yota heard the familiar voice from the other end of the phone.

Immediately after, he also heard the sound of Bai Niao using the restroom.

After learning that his daughter didn't plan to come back tonight and was staying at Tomoda Minako's house, Tozawa Yota finally felt relieved.

Tozawa Yota naturally trusted Tomoda Minako.

Because he knew something about Tomoda Minako's identity, after hearing that his daughter was at Tomoda Minako's house, Tozawa Yota suddenly felt that his previous worries were somewhat unnecessary.

After all, compared to his side, Tomoda Minako's side was infinitely safer.

After saying a few simple words to Bai Niao, Tozawa Yota hung up the phone.

His previously heavy and worried mood was also swept away.

As for the other side, Kono Mariko's side.

Although she had known for a long time that her younger sister had gone to a gathering.

However, the things that had happened before still made Kono Mariko somewhat worried. Picking up her phone, Kono Mariko directly called her younger sister, Kono Mika.

But at this moment, Kono Mika was resting, and her phone was set to silent, so Kono Mika didn't answer Kono Mariko's call.

Seeing that her call went through but Kono Mika didn't answer, Kono Mariko was truly worried.

"My little sister should be alright, right?"

Thinking this, Kono Mariko quickly hung up the phone and dialed another number.

However, this time the call wasn't for Kono Mika, but for Hojo Saki Rei's mobile number.

In a daze, Hojo Saki Rei felt his phone ringing.

He reached out to grab his phone, but at that moment, a soft touch came from his fingertips, immediately startling Hojo Saki Rei.

Opening his eyes, Hojo Saki Rei was shocked to find that on the other side of the bed, another figure had appeared at this moment.

Just as Hojo Saki Rei was still wondering what was going on, a familiar voice sounded in his ear at this moment.

"Saki Rei-kun, are you going to answer the phone? The phone is here."

Hearing Asahi Mafi's voice, Hojo Saki Rei was immediately stunned.

He hadn't expected that the person who had come to him would be Asahi Mafi.

At this moment, Hojo Saki Rei was also gradually waking up. By the moonlight, he could see Asahi Mafi staring intently at him.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei was most worried at this moment.

"Um... Ms. Asahi, why did you come over?"

Hojo Saki Rei asked with some surprise.

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words, Asahi Mafi didn't have any intention of explaining. Instead, she picked up Hojo Saki Rei's phone at this moment, shook it in her hand, and said, "What? Is Saki Rei-kun not planning to answer the phone? If it keeps ringing, I'm afraid someone will hear it."

Asahi Mafi's reminder immediately made Hojo Saki Rei react.

At this moment, Hojo Saki Rei looked at the phone in Asahi Mafi's hand and directly took the phone from her hand.

"Shh, Ms. Asahi, don't say anything yet."

Seeing that the person calling was Kono Mariko, Hojo Saki Rei immediately said to Asahi Mafi.

Saying this, Hojo Saki Rei directly pressed the answer button.

"Saki Rei-kun, I'm really sorry for calling you in the middle of the night. It didn't affect your rest, did it? I'm really sorry, I know calling you at this time will affect your rest time, but I have no other choice."

Just as Hojo Saki Rei had answered the phone, Kono Mariko's voice came from the other end.

Hearing Kono Mariko say this, Hojo Saki Rei immediately replied, "No, no, Mariko-neechan, is there something you need?"

"Why aren't you resting at this time?"

As these words came out of Hojo Saki Rei's mouth, Asahi Mafi beside him gave Hojo Saki Rei a strange look, and under Hojo Saki Rei's shocked gaze, she moved closer to Hojo Saki Rei, the distance between them narrowing considerably.

Looking at Asahi Mafi in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei wanted to say something to tell her to stop messing around.

But before he could say anything, he heard Kono Mariko on the other end of the phone say, "It's like this, Kono Mika went to your place for a gathering, didn't she? She hasn't come home yet, so I wanted to ask Saki Rei-kun if she's at your place right now."

Kono Mariko stopped speaking at this point.

Hearing her say this, Hojo Saki Rei also reacted at this moment. It turned out that the reason Kono Mariko called him was because Kono Mika hadn't returned, and she was worried about Kono Mika, which was why she called him.

Knowing that she was worried about Kono Mika, Hojo Saki Rei also felt a little awkward.

After all, before this, he hadn't told Kono Mariko that Kono Mika wasn't coming back.

Of course, Hojo Saki Rei also felt somewhat speechless about Kono Mika.

This woman, if she wasn't coming back, didn't she know to call her older sister or send a message or something?

See, in the middle of the night, her older sister is still worried about her.

Hojo Saki Rei felt that if there were such gatherings again in the future, he needed to remind them, otherwise, it would be somewhat inconvenient.

"Um, Mariko-neechan, you don't need to worry. Mika is here with us. She's resting at Minako-sensei's house right now. Maybe it's because she drank a little, she's probably already asleep."

Hojo Saki Rei began to explain to Kono Mariko. After hearing that her younger sister was indeed at Hojo Saki Rei's place, Kono Mariko also felt much more relieved.

Then, after saying some polite words to Hojo Saki Rei, she hung up the phone.

"Phew, what a silly woman. If she's not coming back, doesn't she know to tell her family? She actually made Mariko-neechan call us in the middle of the night, still worried about her."

Hojo Saki Rei said with some complaint.

As he said this, he heard Asahi Mafi beside him laugh.

"I didn't expect Saki Rei-kun to actually scold someone? I've really never seen Saki Rei-kun like this. It seems Saki Rei-kun's mood is a bit bad after being woken up."

Asahi Mafi said.

Looking at the woman with a smile on her face in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei shook his head.

"That's not it. I just feel that she's somewhat not considering her older sister. After all, in their family, it's just her and Mariko-neechan depending on each other, and in the middle of the night, how could Mariko-neechan not be worried when she sees she hasn't come back?"

Hojo Saki Rei stopped speaking at this point. Instead, he turned his head and looked at Asahi Mafi in front of him with a confused expression.
