Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

Originally, before coming here, Hojo Saki Rei thought that Tanaka Taiwa just wanted to lure him out, but he didn't expect that he was actually sincerely apologizing to him.

And judging by his attitude, he was indeed very sincere, as if he had truly realized the mistakes he had made before.

It can be said that Tanaka Taiwa's change today was something that Hojo Saki Rei had not expected before.

He looked at Tanaka Taiwa in front of him with some surprise, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Everything Tanaka Taiwa had done before had hurt him too much. He originally thought that he and Tanaka Taiwa were neighbors, and later he helped Tanaka Taiwa transfer to Sakuragi High School. No matter what, they were relatively good neighbors, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, Tanaka Taiwa would constantly cause him trouble.

Now, facing Tanaka Taiwa's apology, he didn't know if he could accept the other party.

"Regarding the things I slandered you about, there was no one else involved in that, but regarding the case where Bai Niao Kashi was kidnapped, that matter really didn't have much to do with me."

"I just got the promised benefits from someone else. The other party promised that if I could get you to participate in this Extracurricular Olympics, they would definitely obstruct you midway and also guarantee that I would win the championship in this Olympics, allowing me to severely hit you in front of Bai Niao Kashi."

"Because I liked Bai Niao Kashi too much, I agreed to the other party. Everything I did was just to get Bai Niao Kashi's affection, and I didn't think about what would happen later."

"I had no idea that they asked me to find you, to instigate you to participate in this Extracurricular Olympics. This was just an excuse for them. It was them wanting me to call you away so they could carry out their kidnapping of Bai Niao Kashi."

"I'm sorry, Saki Rei-kun. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened. Although I was kept in the dark by them, these things did happen because of me, which gave them that opportunity."

Speaking of this, Tanaka Taiwa bowed to Hojo Saki Rei again, looking at Hojo Saki Rei in front of him with eyes full of apology.

After hearing him say these words, Hojo Saki Rei didn't show any further reaction.

Although the words Tanaka Taiwa said sounded very real.

Hojo Saki Rei also believed that what he said should be true.

However, these could not truly become the reason for him to forgive him.

After all, if it weren't for him, how could Tanaka Taiwa have been hurt?

Even if we don't talk about these, how could he easily forgive him for the things he slandered him about before?

Of course, since Tanaka Taiwa chose to apologize to him, Hojo Saki Rei naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Especially the incident that happened during the Extracurricular Olympics.

"Let's not talk about what happened before for now. I just want to know, who were the people who attacked me in this Extracurricular Olympics?"

"Although I won't choose to forgive you for your apology, and I'm not going to accept these apologies."

"However, as long as you can tell me who was targeting me this time, then our matters will end here, and we will be even. I won't come looking for trouble with you because of these things in the future."

Thinking of this, Hojo Saki Rei immediately spoke up and asked.

As he mentioned the matter of the Extracurricular Olympics, he saw Tanaka Taiwa's eyes suddenly flicker at this moment.

Without saying anything, Hojo Saki Rei knew that Tanaka Taiwa wanted to avoid the question he asked him.

"Of course, if you don't want to say, it doesn't matter. After all, I can investigate this matter myself, but if you don't want to say, then our conversation today ends here."

Seeing that Tanaka Taiwa seemed to not want to talk about this matter with him, Hojo Saki Rei immediately spoke up again.

Tanaka Taiwa, who originally didn't want to tell Hojo Saki Rei about this matter, was suddenly panicked again after hearing his words.

Because he knew very well that the words Hojo Saki Rei said were sincere.

Moreover, since Hojo Saki Rei asked about this matter, he naturally wanted to test whether he was truly sincere in apologizing to him.

If he didn't even answer these questions for Hojo Saki Rei, then Hojo Saki Rei might really not choose to listen to him anymore.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, seeing that Tanaka Taiwa still didn't choose to talk about this matter at this time, he turned around and walked directly towards the direction of the rooftop door.

Although he knew very well that Tanaka Taiwa's apology to him this time was definitely sincere.

But since he wasn't even willing to say these things, there was no need for him to waste time with him here.

"Saki Rei-kun, I can tell you about this!"

"But were the words you just said true or false? After I tell you, will you really choose to forgive me?"

"And you won't retaliate against me because of the things I did before, right?"

Looking at Hojo Saki Rei, who had already taken a step and was preparing to leave, Tanaka Taiwa finally made up his mind in a hurry.

Hearing Tanaka Taiwa say this, Hojo Saki Rei, who was originally preparing to leave, also stopped at this moment.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Tanaka Taiwa in front of him with a serious expression.

When he saw Hojo Saki Rei stop, Tanaka Taiwa's heart also relaxed a little.

However, when he saw Hojo Saki Rei looking at him with a serious expression, Tanaka Taiwa knew that he had no room to regret this matter.

Since he had already decided to tell Hojo Saki Rei, Hojo Saki Rei would not give him any room for regret at all.

"Since that's the case, you can speak now. I can guarantee that the words I just said are true. You don't need to doubt this, after all, I have never lied to anyone, have I?"

Looking at Tanaka Taiwa in front of him, Hojo Saki Rei spoke again.

As Hojo Saki Rei's words fell, Tanaka Taiwa also nodded heavily at this time.

He naturally trusted Hojo Saki Rei's character.

"Actually, what I want to say is, not only the people who targeted you in this Extracurricular Olympics, but even the people who kidnapped Bai Niao Kashi last time are the same group of people!"

Since he had already decided to tell Hojo Saki Rei, Tanaka Taiwa didn't plan to continue hiding it. He didn't hesitate to tell everything that happened in these two incidents.

"What? You mean the people from the previous two times were the same group of people?"

Before this, Hojo Saki Rei had thought about whether the people who attacked him were also the same people who kidnapped Bai Niao Kashi, but he wasn't so sure.

After all, Hojo Saki Rei had offended quite a few people before this, such as Haruta Sanjirō and others.

If those people were targeting him, Hojo Saki Rei could also understand.

However, now, Tanaka Taiwa said that the people who surrounded him and the people who kidnapped Bai Niao Kashi were the same group of people.

For a moment, Hojo Saki Rei became even more interested in this.

"Yes, they are the same group of people, and the reason why these people kidnapped Bai Niao Kashi is all because they want to target you, or rather, they have other conspiracies!"

Tanaka Taiwa continued to speak at this time.

Hearing him say this, Hojo Saki Rei's brows also furrowed at this moment.

He had no idea that the reason why those people kidnapped Bai Niao Kashi was related to him.

This made Hojo Saki Rei feel even more puzzled.

Because he had no idea why those people would drag Bai Niao Kashi into this incident.

Even if they wanted to find trouble with him, wouldn't it be more convenient for them to find trouble with Asahi Rinka?

After all, all the students in Sakuragi High School knew what the relationship between Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka was like.

So if they went to Asahi Rinka, the matter would be easier to handle.

"That's not right. If they were targeting me, why didn't they just kidnap Asahi Rinka?"

"Obviously, my relationship with Asahi Rinka is better. If they kidnapped Asahi Rinka, wouldn't it be easy to control me?"

Since he had doubts in his heart, Hojo Saki Rei naturally asked them.

When he heard Hojo Saki Rei say this, Tanaka Taiwa was also stunned for a moment.

But soon, he shook his head and said, "Although your relationship with Asahi Rinka is widely spread in the school, you and Asahi Rinka haven't publicly announced your relationship as lovers."

"But what about Bai Niao Kashi? She told others before that you were her boyfriend. As a boyfriend, if Bai Niao Kashi was really captured by someone, would you not care about it?"

"And those people are not from the school, so how could they think of so much?"

Tanaka Taiwa continued to speak at this time.

When he heard the reason given by Tanaka Taiwa, Hojo Saki Rei also nodded at this time.

Obviously, the reason given by Tanaka Taiwa was quite reasonable.

Although Hojo Saki Rei always felt that there was something wrong, now, he really couldn't find a place to refute him.

"Then why are these people looking for trouble with me? Did I offend them at some point? I don't remember offending such a group of people."

"Although I have offended many people in Sakuragi High School, they are just those students."

Hojo Saki Rei didn't completely agree with what Tanaka Taiwa said. Instead, he raised his own question at this time.

"What if I told you that the people looking for trouble with you are also from the school?"

"As for those people, they are just people they hired to commit the crime."

"After all, when you had conflicts with others before, were those people your opponents?"

"Since those people are not your opponents, why would they confront you head-on? Can't they use their own methods to manipulate things and get other people to deal with you?"

Without any hesitation, Tanaka Taiwa immediately said everything he understood at this time.

Of course, the reason why he said these words was because he knew who was targeting Hojo Saki Rei.

"Alright, I don't want to keep guessing about this matter. Anyway, you know who is behind it. Since that's the case, just tell me who is trying to target me."

Originally, Hojo Saki Rei also wanted to guess it himself.

But now, thinking that Tanaka Taiwa already knew who was hiding behind the scenes.

And it was that person who bribed Tanaka Taiwa, Hojo Saki Rei naturally didn't want to do such a mentally taxing thing anymore.

"Haruta Sanjirō, and Haruta Yoto."

"That's right, it's the father and son, but I don't know why they are targeting you like this. I only know that during the time I've known them, they have been giving me various tasks. As for other things, they arranged them."

At the moment he said these two names, Tanaka Taiwa suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

His originally tense mood also became much calmer at this moment.

Before this, he originally thought that he would not be able to identify the culprit behind the scenes.

However, the moment he said the list, his entire soul seemed to have been sublimated.

The secret hidden in his heart was suddenly revealed by him, and even his mood became much more relaxed at this moment.

"No, I also know a secret, and that is that Haruta Sanjirō contacted people from an Organization to target you!"

"As for that Organization, you probably haven't heard of them, they are the Night Shadow Group!"

Just when Hojo Saki Rei thought that Tanaka Taiwa only knew this much, he heard Tanaka Taiwa continue to speak at this time.

"People from the Night Shadow Group?"

"I have indeed never heard of this Organization. Thank you very much for revealing this information to me this time."

"Alright, what I said before is also true. Since you have told me about this matter, then everything that happened between us in the past is cleared."

"From now on, I will no longer look for trouble with you because of the things you did before, and at the same time, our relationship will end here."

Since Tanaka Taiwa had already told him these things, Hojo Saki Rei naturally didn't want to have any disputes with him because of what happened before.

Most importantly, Tanaka Taiwa was just an ordinary person in Hojo Saki Rei's eyes.

Moreover, he was from the countryside. (End of this chapter)
