Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

After hearing her words, Hojo Saki Rei also felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

It was him who, for fear of Asahi Rinka hearing, had deliberately concealed things, which was somewhat inappropriate. After all, his relationship with Tomoda Minako was not something ordinary people could compare to.

"Since that's the case, let's have a hug. I should go back now. If I return too late, I might not be able to make it home tonight."

"Besides, I don't want to drive at night. It's too dangerous, especially back home."

Tomoda Minako said this and opened her arms, then embraced Hojo Saki Rei.

Seeing Tomoda Minako like this, Hojo Saki Rei hugged her without any hesitation.

Click!

However, at this moment, the bathroom door suddenly made a sound, and then Asahi Rinka walked out of the bathroom.

Asahi Rinka had just walked out of the bathroom and saw Hojo Saki Rei and Tomoda Minako embracing each other in the living room.

She was involuntarily shocked by the scene before her eyes.

Her mouth also dropped open at this moment, looking at Hojo Saki Rei and Tomoda Minako with some disbelief.

Although Asahi Rinka knew that Tomoda Minako was her homeroom teacher, and also knew that Tomoda Minako and Hojo Saki Rei had a good relationship.

After all, Hojo Saki Rei's car was given to him by Tomoda Minako.

However, when she witnessed this scene with her own eyes, Asahi Rinka still felt somewhat shocked.

Of course, that untimely thought had just appeared in her mind before she had already shaken it off, as she didn't believe that Hojo Saki Rei and Tomoda Minako would have that kind of relationship.

"Minako-neechan, you're here."

After regaining her composure, Asahi Rinka immediately called out to Tomoda Minako, who was not far away.

And she walked generously towards Hojo Saki Rei and Tomoda Minako.

The moment he heard the bathroom door open, Hojo Saki Rei really wanted to let go of Tomoda Minako, but remembering what Tomoda Minako had just said, he still held her tightly.

At this moment, hearing Asahi Rinka's voice and knowing that Asahi Rinka was walking towards them, Hojo Saki Rei and Tomoda Minako finally let go of each other and turned their heads to look at Tomoda Minako.

"Yes, I'm going home, so I came here to say goodbye to Saki Rei-kun. I didn't expect Rinka to go to his house with Saki Rei-kun. That's really enviable."

After letting go of Hojo Saki Rei, Tomoda Minako also spoke freely with Asahi Rinka.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, after seeing them chatting, he sat on the sofa without hesitation and watched them.

Asahi Rinka heard what Tomoda Minako said and knew that Hojo Saki Rei had already told Tomoda Minako about her going to his house with him.

If it were anyone else who knew, Asahi Rinka wouldn't have thought anything of it, but Tomoda Minako was their homeroom teacher, so facing Tomoda Minako, Asahi Rinka still felt a little embarrassed.

"There's no need to be embarrassed. As classmates, it's great to visit each other's homes sometimes. Besides, you two are even deskmates and have such a good relationship."

"What's more, you've only been to Saki Rei-kun's house this one time, but Saki Rei-kun has been to your house countless times before. If anyone should be embarrassed, it should be Saki Rei-kun, shouldn't it?"

Seeing Asahi Rinka's embarrassment, Tomoda Minako said this appropriately. As Tomoda Minako's words fell, Asahi Rinka, who had been feeling very embarrassed, now began to return to normal.

"You're right, how could I forget? Saki Rei-kun has been to my house so many times."

Tomoda Minako's words reminded Asahi Rinka of many things from before, and then she recalled Hojo Saki Rei's impatient demeanor towards her just now.

And so.

She quickly walked over to Tomoda Minako and began to complain to her.

"Minako-neechan, don't you think Saki Rei-kun is going too far? We're classmates, and he's been to my house several times. But when I told him today that I wanted to visit his house, he actually seemed a bit impatient. When I saw him dragging his suitcase, he even seemed to treat me like a bother..."

Once she opened her mouth, Asahi Rinka began to say many bad things about Hojo Saki Rei to Tomoda Minako.

As Asahi Rinka said these words, Tomoda Minako's expression also became somewhat strange.

Tomoda Minako had originally thought that Asahi Rinka going to Hojo Saki Rei's house was at Hojo Saki Rei's invitation.

But she didn't expect that Asahi Rinka herself wanted to go.

And Hojo Saki Rei, upon hearing that the other party wanted to visit his house, actually acted so impatiently.

This was somewhat unbelievable to Tomoda Minako.

If this were any other male student, they would surely be very happy.

After all, Asahi Rinka was simply too outstanding. Whether in terms of looks, figure, or academics, she could easily surpass many classmates.

If such a female classmate said she wanted to visit a certain male classmate's house, the other party would certainly be very willing.

But when it came to Hojo Saki Rei, he actually seemed to dislike her.

And so.

Tomoda Minako looked at Hojo Saki Rei with some confusion.

Only.

When her gaze fell on Hojo Saki Rei, she didn't see any change in his expression.

Seeing Hojo Saki Rei like this, Tomoda Minako was able to judge that what Asahi Rinka had just said was all true.

"What is this guy thinking? I remember when Rinka first came to our school, she attracted the admiration of many male students, and several male students even secretly wrote love letters to Rinka."

"Leaving aside how outstanding Rinka is, just the fact that she rejected so many people for Saki Rei-kun means Saki Rei-kun shouldn't treat her this way, right? Could it be that..."

After thinking about whether Hojo Saki Rei might not like Asahi Rinka, Tomoda Minako shook her head again.

If this were in the past.

Or if Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka usually didn't get along well, then Tomoda Minako might have believed it.

But Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka acted so harmoniously when they were together, and many people at school knew about their relationship.

Most importantly, Tomoda Minako had seen Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka holding hands several times.

In such a situation, if someone were to say that Hojo Saki Rei didn't like Asahi Rinka, she wouldn't believe it no matter what.

"Since it's not that he dislikes Rinka, then it can only mean that he genuinely doesn't plan to bring anyone else home this time."

After a rough analysis, Tomoda Minako also came to her own conclusion.

"This is indeed a bit much. I didn't expect Saki Rei-kun to be this kind of person, unwilling for a classmate to visit his house."

"How about... Rinka, you come to my house with me? I'd be very happy to have you. It would be even more fun if someone could come back and play with me."

"Since this guy doesn't welcome us, then let's not go to his house. It's not a big deal anyway."

Tomoda Minako tentatively said this to Asahi Rinka at this moment.

No sooner had she spoken than she saw Asahi Rinka shake her head repeatedly.

"Maybe next time. This time, I plan to visit Saki Rei-kun's house, and I've known Saki Rei-kun for so long, but I still don't know where his house is."

"Minako-neechan, I know you mean well, but we can do it next time."

Asahi Rinka was actually a little tempted by Tomoda Minako's suggestion, but why was she going to Hojo Saki Rei's house this time? She was very clear about it herself.

If she were to actually go with Tomoda Minako at this moment, then finding such an opportunity again would mean waiting another half a year. She was unwilling to wait that long, so she could only refuse Tomoda Minako directly.

As for Tomoda Minako, after hearing Asahi Rinka say these words, she didn't feel surprised at all.

What she had just said was merely to test Asahi Rinka, and now that she had Asahi Rinka's answer, she naturally wouldn't continue to talk about it.

She just turned to look at Hojo Saki Rei, but couldn't help but sigh, then shook her head.

"I wonder if this guy has understood Rinka's intentions. I hope he doesn't miss this opportunity."

While thinking this, Tomoda Minako also began to bid farewell to Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka.

Originally, Tomoda Minako didn't plan to see Asahi Rinka.

She intended to go straight back after hugging Hojo Saki Rei.

But since Asahi Rinka came out at this moment, she naturally had to say hello.

"Alright, since you two are going back together, be careful on the road. I should also go back. If I don't go back now, I don't know if I'll make it home tonight."

"Once you two arrive at Saki Rei-kun's house, remember to give me a call to let me know you're safe."

Tomoda Minako finished speaking and turned to leave at this moment.

"You too, Minako-neechan."

"See you next year, Minako-neechan!"

"Minako-neechan, you also be careful."

Seeing Tomoda Minako about to leave, Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka also quickly bid her farewell.

"Saki Rei-kun, why don't you see Minako-neechan off?"

It wasn't until Tomoda Minako walked down the stairs that Asahi Rinka said this to Hojo Saki Rei.

Hearing Asahi Rinka say this, Hojo Saki Rei also chased downstairs without hesitation.

"It's just going home for New Year's, it's not like we won't see each other again. Go back quickly."

The sound of Hojo Saki Rei going downstairs came from her ears, and the supporting female character, who was about to leave, turned her head to look at Hojo Saki Rei and said directly.

Hearing the supporting female character say this, Hojo Saki Rei also smiled and waved at her.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Asahi Rinka, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for Hojo Saki Rei to return, asked curiously when she saw him. Hadn't she just told Hojo Saki Rei to see the supporting female character off?

"It's not like we won't see each other next year. She didn't want me to see her off."

"Wait here, I'll take a shower first, then pack my things and get ready to leave."

"It's a bit far from here to home. I hope to get home before night so I can still eat the food my parents make."

Hojo Saki Rei said this and walked straight towards the bathroom.

"Uncle and Auntie's cooking?"

As for Asahi Rinka, upon hearing Hojo Saki Rei mention his parents' cooking, she couldn't help but become more interested.

But she quickly realized, did that mean she wouldn't be able to eat if she arrived late?

Also, did Hojo Saki Rei not tell his parents he was coming home today?

About an hour and a half later, Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka also left.

Because Asahi Rinka had too many things, Hojo Saki Rei chose not to buy tickets and instead planned to drive back from Tokyo.

This action directly shocked Asahi Rinka.

"Um... Saki Rei-kun, how long does it take from Tokyo to your house?"

Asahi Rinka asked with some concern. She was a bit unaccustomed to such a long car ride.

Of course, she was also worried that Hojo Saki Rei would get tired from driving for so long.

"I don't know, I've never driven myself before. We'll get there when we get there. If I get tired, I'll rest for a while on the way."

"Otherwise, with all these things you're carrying, do you think it would be convenient if we bought tickets?"

Hojo Saki Rei glanced at the three suitcases in the trunk and asked.

Upon hearing this from him, Asahi Rinka finally realized.

Then, she looked at Hojo Saki Rei with an embarrassed expression.

"Um... Saki Rei-kun, do I have too much stuff?"

Asahi Rinka asked guiltily.

Actually, she didn't even need to ask; Hojo Saki Rei would also think she had too many things.

Because Hojo Saki Rei had mentioned it before.

"What do you think?"

Facing Asahi Rinka's question, Hojo Saki Rei didn't answer her directly, but instead asked this question back. (End of Chapter)
