Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

But now.

After seeing his dad look at him with that strange gaze, Hojo Saki Rei knew he must have been mistaken.

Perhaps, the moment he saw Asahi Rinka, his dad had already changed his mind, truly intending to bind Asahi Rinka tightly to him.

After all, Asahi Rinka's appearance alone was enough to capture their hearts.

"Dad, you..."

Hojo Saki Rei was somewhat at a loss for words.

Of course, he also suspected that everything his dad had just said was meant to confuse him.

He knew that when he went to Tokyo, his dad had told him not to have any feelings for other girls that went beyond friendship.

Yet now, he was acting completely out of character.

"Hehe, actually, what your mother and I said before was just to scare you. After all, we've been through puberty too, so we naturally know that at your age, it's impossible not to have some interaction with other girls, and it's impossible not to have a girl you like."

"So, regarding you bringing a girlfriend home, your mother and I not only won't object, but we'll fully support it. Did you see your mother's reaction just now? That's enough to show that your mother is very satisfied with this girl."

"Of course, I'm also very satisfied. After all, this girl is too beautiful and too cute. As a father, I'm naturally happy that my son can find such a beautiful girlfriend."

As if seeing Hojo Saki Rei's confusion, Kawabe Takuya spoke directly.

"No, Dad, when did I say I had any other relationship with her? And I didn't say she was my girlfriend."

Hojo Saki Rei looked at Kawabe Takuya with a strange gaze.

Although he did have that feeling with Asahi Rinka, they had also said that they definitely couldn't date before going to university.

Otherwise, Hojo Saki Rei wouldn't have rejected Asahi Rinka so directly before.

"What are you saying? Do you really think your mother and I are stupid?"

"Although you say you're just classmates, that's not the case, is it?"

"Are you back this time to ask us to see if you can pass our test?"

"Good son, you truly are my son, Kawabe Takuya. You think so far ahead. Your mother and I both like this girl very much. You can date her with peace of mind. Your mother and I will definitely support you. If you need help, your mother and I will help you with all our might."

Kawabe Takuya seemed to have completely misunderstood Hojo Saki Rei's words and continued speaking to himself.

As for Hojo Saki Rei, after hearing what his father said, he felt even more speechless.

It seemed that his mom and dad really thought Asahi Rinka was his girlfriend.

However, after thinking about it, Hojo Saki Rei also felt it didn't matter.

Anyway, after going to university, he would definitely be dating Asahi Rinka.

After all, they had already talked about this before.

And with Asahi Rinka's academic performance, there was absolutely no problem with her attending the same university as him. If he wanted to go back on his word, it was already too late.

"Forget it, think whatever you want."

Shaking his head, Hojo Saki Rei stopped talking about this topic.

"Let's go. It's been years since you've been home. Have you learned to drink? How about having a drink with your old man tonight?"

Kawabe Takuya continued.

But the next moment, Hojo Saki Rei opened the trunk of the car.

"You open the door first, and then help me move some luggage. We can talk about this later."

Looking in the direction of Hojo Saki Rei's car trunk, Kawabe Takuya saw that it was filled with several huge suitcases.

When he saw this scene, Kawabe Takuya was completely stunned.

"No, son, you're just back for a short holiday. Do you need to bring so many things?"

Speaking of this, Kawabe Takuya also quickly realized that Hojo Saki Rei could drive.

When his gaze shifted to Hojo Saki Rei's car, he was shocked again.

"Son, what's with this car? Did you rent it?"

Kawabe Takuya asked.

Although he hadn't bought this model of car that Hojo Saki Rei had, how could Kawabe Takuya not know that such a car would cost at least over 20 million yen.

Yet his son had come back driving such a car?

He knew that his son was still a student.

Where did a student get so much money?

Looking at Hojo Saki Rei, who was close by, a hint of doubt flashed in Kawabe Takuya's eyes, followed by a look of worry.

Regarding the question he had just asked, he now felt that he might have been overthinking it.

After all, if it was a rental car, rental companies generally didn't rent out this kind of car.

This meant that the car was either his son's or someone else's.

But if it was Hojo Saki Rei's, he couldn't believe it at all.

"Dad, here's the thing. Actually, the car is our Teacher's..."

Seeing Kawabe Takuya looking at him with that strange gaze and worried expression, Hojo Saki Rei knew he had to explain it to him.

After all, the car Tomoda Minako had given him was indeed too expensive.

If he didn't explain it clearly to Kawabe Takuya at this time, he would definitely worry.

Let alone Kawabe Takuya, if anyone else saw their son, who was supposed to be in school, suddenly come back driving a luxury car, they would be scared to death.

While Hojo Saki Rei was still explaining this to Kawabe Takuya, Hoki Taeko and Asahi Rinka, who had returned inside, were somewhat curious about what Hojo Saki Rei and Kawabe Takuya were doing when they saw that they hadn't come back yet.

"Rinka, sit here for a bit. I'll go see what they're doing. It's time to eat and they're still not coming in."

Looking at Asahi Rinka sitting on the sofa, Hoki Taeko became more and more satisfied the more she looked.

She was just short of directly telling Asahi Rinka to be her daughter-in-law.

However, she also knew that since Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka hadn't revealed their relationship as lovers in front of them, she couldn't rush this matter.

Moreover, she also knew that it was best not to interfere in this kind of thing casually, otherwise, it was very likely to backfire and do more harm than good.

If that were to happen, wouldn't her son resent her?

As Hoki Taeko came out into the yard, she saw Hojo Saki Rei and Kawabe Takuya pulling out three huge suitcases from the car's trunk.

When she saw these suitcases, Hoki Taeko was also shocked.

The suitcases were simply too big.

Suitcases this large couldn't fit in the trunk at all.

The only reason Hojo Saki Rei and they were able to bring them back was because they had moved the seats inside, otherwise, it would have been impossible to bring them back.

"This is? Why did you bring so many things just for a trip home?"

Seeing her husband and son walking towards the house with such large suitcases, Hoki Taeko asked with some surprise.

"You can ask Rinka about this."

In response to his mother's question, Hojo Saki Rei said directly, then walked towards the house with the suitcases.

...

On the other side.

Here in Tokyo.

Just as Asahi Mafi was wondering if her daughter had already arrived at Hojo Saki Rei's house, she received a text message from her daughter.

Immediately after, she saw the selfie Asahi Rinka had sent, as well as photos of the interior of Hojo Saki Rei's home.

When she saw these photos, Asahi Mafi was greatly relieved.

"That's great. With this, Saki Rei-kun won't be able to refuse Rinka anymore, right?"

"Since she's already staying at their house, she should take this opportunity to have Rinka win over Saki Rei-kun. Such an excellent man can't be taken advantage of by others."

Asahi Mafi muttered to herself.

Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka had known each other for so long, and they had spent a lot of time alone together.

Asahi Mafi was somewhat confused as to why, after knowing each other for so long, Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka still hadn't had any substantial things happen.

Soon, Asahi Mafi felt that although Hojo Saki Rei and Asahi Rinka would be together this holiday, there was a high possibility that nothing would happen between them.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a headache coming on again.

"Never mind. Although I told Saki Rei-kun before that I would only let Rinka stay at his house for a few days, this kind of thing isn't necessarily fixed."

"For example, if I say I haven't come back yet and ask Rinka to continue staying at his house, Saki Rei-kun probably won't refuse, right?"

Asahi Mafi thought to herself again.

...

"Huh, this is Rinka-san's朋友圈 (circle of friends). Is this her house?"

"No, isn't Rinka-san's house very luxurious? How could it be like this?"

"Could it be that Rinka-san has been kidnapped?"

Kono Mika here.

At this time.

Originally, after the holiday, Kono Mika planned to find a job to help her Minako-neechan, Kono Mariko, share the burden.

However, while lying in bed scrolling through job photos and information, when she returned to the social media platform and saw the post Asahi Rinka had made on her 朋友圈 (circle of friends), she couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of her.

"Where is this? It doesn't look like your house."

Thinking that Asahi Rinka might have been kidnapped or something had happened, Kono Mika immediately sent a message to Asahi Rinka.

However, after waiting for about a few minutes, she didn't see Asahi Rinka reply to the message.

Just as Kono Mika was about to call Asahi Rinka to ask where she was, she saw that Asahi Rinka's post on her 朋友圈 (circle of friends) had been deleted.

Seeing this, Kono Mika panicked again and sent another message to Asahi Rinka, asking if she was safe.

Here.

After seeing Kono Mika like her post on her 朋友圈 (circle of friends) and ask her about it.

She was immediately startled and quickly hid the post she had made on her 朋友圈 (circle of friends).

She had originally thought that if she did this, Kono Mika probably wouldn't bother, as she just thought Kono Mika was just casually asking her a question.

But she didn't expect that the post she made on her 朋友圈 (circle of friends) would make Kono Mika start to worry about her safety.

Thinking that Kono Mika was definitely still worried about her, Asahi Rinka immediately told Kono Mika about coming home with Hojo Saki Rei to play.

"What? You went home with Saki Rei-kun?"

"Oh my god, how did you do that, Rinka? You're amazing!"

"Was that Saki Rei-kun's house just now? Can you send me some photos? I'm really curious about what kind of environment such an excellent person like Saki Rei-kun grew up in."

"..."

After learning that Asahi Rinka had gone back with Hojo Saki Rei, Kono Mika was immediately shocked.

After reacting, she immediately sent many more messages to Asahi Rinka.

Feeling that her phone had received messages, Asahi Rinka was originally planning to reply to Kono Mika, but at this moment, Hoki Taeko, who had just sat down at the dining table, started putting food on Asahi Rinka's plate.

Facing Hoki Taeko's concern, and in front of her.

Although she knew Hoki Taeko definitely liked her, Asahi Rinka didn't dare to send a message to Kono Mika at this time.

And Kono Mika here.

After seeing that Asahi Rinka didn't reply to her message, she became even more anxious.

Because she was worried about Asahi Rinka's safety just now, she didn't look at those photos at all. Now she wanted Asahi Rinka to send her some, but Asahi Rinka still hadn't replied.

Unable to wait any longer, Kono Mika immediately contacted Kele and others, wanting to ask if they had seen the photos of Hojo Saki Rei's house that Asahi Rinka had just posted.

However, Kono Mika had just started asking Kele when she saw Kele reply with several question marks.

"You mean, Rinka has already gone to Hojo Saki Rei's house?"

Kele asked in disbelief.

"Yes, don't you know about this? I thought Rinka-san would tell you."

Seeing that Kele seemed unaware of this, Kono Mika quickly said.

Then, she sent a message to Asuka and started asking.

In just a short time, the news of Asahi Rinka visiting Hojo Saki Rei's house had already begun to spread within their small circle. (End of this chapter)
