Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

In the villa's living room.

At this moment.

When Hojo Saki Rei saw Tomoda Minako coming towards him with red wine, he immediately felt a jolt, as he knew very well that Tomoda Minako wouldn't do this unless she wanted him to stay the night.

Shaking his head, and thinking that he hadn't spent much time with Tomoda Minako these past few days, Hojo Saki Rei decided to go along with it.

As Tomoda Minako opened the cork, the rich aroma of the wine instantly filled the air.

Smelling this aroma, Hojo Saki Rei immediately became interested.

The taste of this bottle of wine was much better than the ones they drank last time.

Hojo Saki Rei knew without a doubt that Tomoda Minako had specially chosen this good bottle of wine.

“Saki Rei-kun, cheers!”

Soon, Tomoda Minako had filled the glasses, handing one to Hojo Saki Rei, while holding another glass in her other hand.

Seeing Tomoda Minako like this, Hojo Saki Rei naturally didn't back down.

“Cheers!”

After speaking, Hojo Saki Rei picked up the wine and drank it directly.

However, while the wine smelled very good, when Hojo Saki Rei drank it, he felt it was a bit harsh on his throat.

This feeling made Hojo Saki Rei a bit slow to react.

He even almost choked at that moment.

Tomoda Minako, across from him, had clearly anticipated this situation, so she just took a sip and then placed her glass on the table.

Seeing Tomoda Minako like this, Hojo Saki Rei couldn't help but feel speechless.

This woman, she knew this would happen, yet she didn't even warn him?

Hojo Saki Rei somewhat suspected that she was deliberately setting him up.

“Minako-neechan, you're really not being fair.”

Hojo Saki Rei said immediately.

“Huh?”

“What do you mean? How am I not being fair? I've made you so much delicious food, and I even opened this bottle of wine I've been saving for a long time, how is that not being fair?”

Hearing Hojo Saki Rei's words, Tomoda Minako said with an innocent look, pretending she didn't know anything.

“So, you mean it's my fault then?”

Hojo Saki Rei asked.

“Of course, everyone knows you absolutely shouldn't rush when drinking, but Saki Rei-kun, you drank so much on the first sip, how can you blame me for that?”

Tomoda Minako said with a look of schadenfreude.

As she said this, a smile appeared on her face at that moment.

Seeing her like this, Hojo Saki Rei knew that even if he said more, she probably wouldn't admit it.

“Fine, then it's my fault.”

Hojo Saki Rei replied, not wanting to continue the conversation.

For this kind of thing, there really were some reasons on his end.

Moreover, Tomoda Minako was right, drinking such a large gulp directly without understanding what kind of wine it was, was undeniably his problem.

However, there was also the reason that Hojo Saki Rei trusted Tomoda Minako too much; if it weren't for Tomoda Minako saying 'cheers', how could he have possibly drunk so much directly?

Thinking of the silent loss he just suffered, Hojo Saki Rei wasn't going to just accept it.

“Minako-neechan, just drinking like this isn't much fun, how about we play a little game?”

Hojo Saki Rei looked at Tomoda Minako in front of him and then spoke.

Hearing this, a slight glint appeared in Tomoda Minako's eyes, and she stared intently at Hojo Saki Rei in front of her.

She had just set Hojo Saki Rei up, and now he wanted to play a game with her? Tomoda Minako knew without thinking that this guy wanted to get revenge.

But how could Tomoda Minako be a timid person?

“Want to set me up? Let's see if you have the ability.”

While thinking this to herself, Tomoda Minako also agreed without hesitation.

“Alright, in that case, Saki Rei-kun, what game do you want to play?”

“But don't say a game I don't know how to play. If that were the case, it would be a bit unfair, you know.”

Tomoda Minako said, looking at Hojo Saki Rei with a smiling face.

Seeing Tomoda Minako like this, Hojo Saki Rei knew his little trick had been seen through.

However, this was harmless to Hojo Saki Rei.

As long as Tomoda Minako agreed, that was fine.

“Dice, Minako-neechan, you should know how to play, right? Don't tell me you don't know this little game.”

Hojo Saki Rei said with a smile.

Since Tomoda Minako had said that, and she had also seen through his intentions.

Hojo Saki Rei didn't think about playing any other games to set her up.

In short, it was a test of skill and luck.

Dice, or something similar, was indeed more suitable.

“Dice? How do we play?”

Tomoda Minako didn't answer whether she knew how to play or not, but asked directly instead.

Hearing that Tomoda Minako was actually asking, Hojo Saki Rei immediately became interested.

“If we played something else, I'd really be afraid that Minako-neechan wouldn't know how, and then you'd say I was taking advantage of you or something.”

“In that case, let's play the simplest game, comparing numbers.”

“Or, if Minako-neechan thinks this isn't fun, we can guess the total.”

Hojo Saki Rei said this, his gaze falling back on Tomoda Minako, clearly indicating that what they played was entirely up to Tomoda Minako.

“In that case, let's guess the total. I'm a Teacher after all, I refuse to believe I can't beat you at this.”

Playing dice, and guessing the total.

Although in Tomoda Minako's heart, Hojo Saki Rei was indeed excellent.

However, when she was in university, she had read and studied psychology for a while.

She didn't think she would lose to a high school student like Hojo Saki Rei when guessing the total.

“Okay, I'll listen to Minako-neechan, then we'll play guessing the total.”

“Minako-neechan, do you have dice here? If not, I'll go out and buy some.”

Hojo Saki Rei spoke.

Although they had indeed stated their game method, he didn't know if Tomoda Minako actually had dice here. If she didn't even have dice, what would they play?

“What are you talking about? How could I not have this? When I was furnishing the villa before, I bought several sets of dice for myself.”

“Wait here.”

Saying this, Tomoda Minako stood up to get the dice.

Watching her walk, her hips swaying, Hojo Saki Rei felt somewhat aroused.

Although they had already established their relationship before, and had been together quite a few times.

But a stunningly beautiful Teacher like Tomoda Minako, this kind of woman is never boring.

Moreover, with this kind of woman, even just one try, one taste, makes one somewhat reluctant to leave.

Not long after.

Just as Hojo Saki Rei was still wondering if Tomoda Minako could really win against him, Tomoda Minako had already returned with the dice.

“Let's start, hurry up, I don't believe a high school student like you can actually beat me.”

Having just brought two sets of dice, Tomoda Minako started shouting.

Hojo Saki Rei took a set of dice, and the two of them began to shake them.

Clang.

When the dice cup was placed upside down on the table, Tomoda Minako had also finished shaking.

The game Hojo Saki Rei and Tomoda Minako were playing involved each person having one set of dice; the so-called 'guessing the total' meant adding up the numbers on both their dice to see what the total was. If one person thought the other person's guessed total was higher than the actual sum of the two dice, they could choose to 'call' the other person.

“You go first, ladies first.”

Hojo Saki Rei glanced at his dice, then looked at Tomoda Minako in front of him and said.

“Okay, in that case, I'll guess six points.”

Seeing that Hojo Saki Rei let her guess first, Tomoda Minako didn't stand on ceremony at all and started guessing directly.

“Call.”

As soon as Tomoda Minako's words fell, Hojo Saki Rei immediately chose to call.

This immediately made Tomoda Minako a little flustered.

Their two sets of dice were actually just two dice in total.

A die has six sides, and the six possible numbers; the highest sum they could add up to was just twelve.

However, Tomoda Minako calling six points was quite conservative. Although when she called out, she hadn't looked at her own dice yet, thinking she'd call first and then take a look.

But just as she had opened her mouth, Hojo Saki Rei actually chose to call her. How could this not make Tomoda Minako feel somewhat astonished?

However, Tomoda Minako quickly reacted, and a confident smile even appeared on her face at that moment.

“It seems, Saki Rei-kun, you want to drink.”

“But we haven't agreed on how much to drink each time yet.”

Tomoda Minako said with a smile at this moment.

She couldn't believe that she had lost on just the first try.

“How about a quarter of this glass? A little less is fine too, drinking too quickly isn't good.”

Hojo Saki Rei also just realized at this moment that they hadn't set the rule for how much to drink earlier.

“Okay, that much then.”

Saying this, Tomoda Minako directly revealed her dice.

“Five points.”

When Tomoda Minako saw her number, a confident smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, when he saw that the dice Tomoda Minako revealed actually showed five points, his face was as unpleasant as if he had swallowed a fly.

He had looked at his own dice just now, and only dared to call when he saw that his dice was only one point.

Of course, this was also because Tomoda Minako hadn't looked at her number; Hojo Saki Rei didn't believe Tomoda Minako's luck would really be that good.

Moreover, Hojo Saki Rei was also afraid that Tomoda Minako was deliberately setting him up.

If she had looked at the dice and he had called out his number, and she had chosen to call him directly, then he would have had to drink.

Thinking of this, Hojo Saki Rei chose to call.

After all, it was better to have the initiative in his own hands than in someone else's.

What's more, this was only the first round.

However, he didn't expect that the number revealed would actually cause him to fall into the trap directly.

“How is it? Are you surprised? Unexpected?”

“Drink up, no cheating allowed.”

Just as Hojo Saki Rei was looking at the dice number with an unpleasant expression, Tomoda Minako's voice came from beside his ear.

Hearing Tomoda Minako say this, Hojo Saki Rei knew that he had to drink.

Of course, he wasn't the type of person who liked to cheat.

He picked up the glass and started drinking.

“Come on, let's continue.”

Immediately after drinking, Hojo Saki Rei picked up the dice again and started shaking them.

As for Tomoda Minako, when she saw Hojo Saki Rei like this, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth again.

She also didn't expect that it had just started, and she hadn't even looked at her number yet, but the guy had already lost.

Of course, she also saw that Hojo Saki Rei was continuing so quickly, which meant he was preparing to get revenge on her.

Thinking of this, Tomoda Minako immediately felt that she should be a little more careful.

After all, what she liked to see most was Hojo Saki Rei looking very annoyed with her, yet being unable to do anything about it.

...

The next day.

When Hojo Saki Rei arrived at school, he saw that Tanaka Taiwa was actually waiting at his usual parking spot, as if he was waiting for someone.

“Saki Rei-kun, good morning.”

Hojo Saki Rei had just gotten out of his car when Tanaka Taiwa's voice came from beside his ear.

Seeing Tanaka Taiwa calling him, Hojo Saki Rei immediately frowned.

Yesterday, although Tanaka Taiwa had already apologized to him, and he had also decided not to dwell on the things that happened before.

However, he had never thought about continuing to meet with Tanaka Taiwa or anything like that, and it was even less likely that they would become friends again.

Yet now, it seemed like Tanaka Taiwa was waiting for him here.

“Are you waiting for me?”

Hojo Saki Rei asked with some curiosity.

“Yes, Saki Rei-kun, I came to find you today because I have something to discuss. I was wondering if Saki Rei-kun could spare some more time for me at noon.”

When Tanaka Taiwa said this, he was somewhat embarrassed.

After hearing Tanaka Taiwa say this, Hojo Saki Rei was startled again.

“What is it? Can you say it now?”

Hojo Saki Rei asked.

He didn't want to be bothered by this guy every day.

After all, although he wasn't dwelling on the past events, he had never thought about getting along well with him or anything like that, so how could he possibly keep being with him?

“Right now, it's a bit inconvenient.”

Just as Hojo Saki Rei's words fell, he saw that Tanaka Taiwa actually turned his head to look around at this moment, and seeing many students passing by, he immediately spoke.

He also knew that because of the previous incidents, many people in the school recognized him. (End of chapter)
