Zongman: I can modify the status bar

After putting down the food, Yaohuijiu quickly returned to the kitchen and started cooking.

Haruki told Shizuka Hiratsuka the general situation. The reality was hard to accept, but Shizuka Hiratsuka still tried to understand.

"So, until the child's illness is resolved, we'll let her live with us first?" Shizuka Hiratsuka sorted out her thoughts and confirmed with Haruki again.

"Well, at least we have to wait until her foot injury heals. Right now, her condition is such that no one except me can notice her existence. Even if she's standing right in front of you, you'll still ignore her for some reason. It's called 'selective blindness'. I'm still looking for a way to help her solve this problem, but there's no rush for it. I've tried everything I can..."

Haruki also knew that this could not be rushed. Even his own abilities were ineffective against Sakurajima Mai. If he could not be selected, wouldn't that mean he was invincible? There was really no way.

"I understand..." Shizuka Hiratsuka naturally believed in Haruki unconditionally, even though what the other party said was so unreliable.

"By the way, how are the matters concerning those children being handled? I will report to you if there is any result, right?" Yaohui ate his food in big mouthfuls, and suddenly remembered that he had the same trouble before.

"Oh... I'm so tired just talking about this. Kawasaki Saki has a very weird personality, and the three of them can't convince her." Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately felt overwhelmed when she mentioned her students. There were really too many problem children, and they were a real worry.

"So what should we do? Just leave it like this?"

"That's not the case. The three of them have made an appointment with Saki Kawasaki to meet at 5:30 tomorrow morning. Kawasaki's younger brother will be brought along. They'll have a chat together and see if they can talk things out and try to resolve any misunderstandings. Alas, we have to get up early tomorrow..." Shizuka Hiratsuka put down her bowl and chopsticks, leaned back and sighed.

"Huh? Getting up early? Are we going too?" Haruki didn't expect that this also involved him and Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Of course I have to go. The ultimatum has been issued. Tomorrow is the final battle. This is the last chance to resolve the issue. I can't control what happens then. I can only do my best."

Haruki naturally understood what Shizuka Hiratsuka said. No matter how much he cared about his students, it was only from the perspective of a teacher. The situation of Saki Kawasaki obviously exceeded that scope. Since her parents didn't care, it would be inappropriate for an outsider like him to intervene too much. He could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

"Okay, then let's take a rest after eating. We've been tired all day." Yaohui quickly finished the last bite of the meal. Since they were all takeout, he could just throw away the lunch boxes and dishes, saving the trouble of washing dishes.

"Well, let me clean up here, you go and take a rest." Shizuka Hiratsuka got up and cleaned up the mess on the table.

Yaohui also walked out of the kitchen naturally and came to the living room.

Suddenly, Haruki realized that the effect of this [Adolescent Syndrome] was so powerful. He had just told Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of her that the lunch box was for Mai Sakurajima, but she had [forgotten] it in such a short while?

Or it was influenced and ignored.

It is indeed terrifying.

Haruki came to the coffee table, picked up the partially eaten lunch box of Sakurajima Mai and threw it into the trash can, while the injured girl leaned against the sofa, wondering what she was thinking.

……

Chapter 320 I’ll pay for it!

"Okay, time to go up to bed."

Haruki cleaned up the mess left by Sakurajima Mai's meal, walked to the sofa and picked up the dazed girl.

"Eh?! Go upstairs to sleep?" Sakurajima Mai was flustered and looked surprised, but her body was still honest and she didn't struggle. She naturally put her arms around Haruki's neck.

Mai Sakurajima blushed and imagined what might happen next, but of course nothing happened. Haruki put her on the bed in the guest room and left.

By the way, I also took a pillow to prop up Sakurajima Mai's hands and legs. This is good for the injured area. Although the memory is very vague, it is not a big problem. If she feels uncomfortable, she will put it down by herself.

On the other side, Haruki and Shizuka Hiratsuka went to bed early after finishing their chores, as they had to get up early the next day.

……

The next morning, everyone gathered at the agreed store.

Haruki also left some rice balls for Mai Sakurajima, and told her not to move around, as there were things like that in the bathroom and the room...

"Why hasn't she come yet? Have you been cheated?" Yaohui looked at the yawning girls with great suspicion. It was almost six o'clock, and it would be dawn if they waited any longer.

"She said she would come, and she won't break her promise no matter what, otherwise..." Miura Yumiko rubbed her hands together, she was used to being the queen in the class. If Kawasaki Saki really did that, she would definitely be punished by this guy, and campus gambling and looting would be inevitable.

But remembering that Haruki was right across from her, Miura Yumiko quickly changed her tone, "Otherwise, we can go to school to solve the problem. We must make this delivery give us an explanation!"

"Kawasaki Saki is also a person who is afraid of trouble. She also wants to end it quickly so that we don't bother her anymore, but she hasn't come yet so late..." Yukino was still very calm. She understood Kawasaki Saki's thoughts very well, but it was also a fact that the other party was not late or did not come, and there was no way to wash it away.

"Maybe something happened in the store that delayed them. I guess high-end places like that would have very high requirements for their employees?" Yuigahama Yui was trying to make amends and try to make the atmosphere less awkward. Most people can actually read the atmosphere, but there are definitely only a few who would volunteer to mediate like Yuigahama Yui.

"Click... Click..." The sound of high heels hitting the floor gradually approached. Saki Kawasaki, who had changed into a white shirt and carried a schoolbag, came to the table.

"Dazhi, what are you doing here at this time?" Saki Kawasaki looked at the people around the table. There was no problem with one or two people, after all, they wanted to solve the problem, but the boy sitting in the corner was her younger brother, so why did she bring him here?

"I want to ask you too..." Daishi Kawasaki glanced at Saki Kawasaki who was questioning him, then quickly retracted his gaze to the cup on the table. Daishi still felt a certain amount of pressure facing his sister. It was already very difficult to ask Saki Kawasaki's teacher to solve this matter. When he received their message asking him to come over and make a conclusion together, Daishi naturally felt obliged to do so. This was originally a problem between him and his sister.

"Sister, it's so late every day, what are you doing?" Dazhi turned his face away and said some tough words, but he still looked very scared.

"This has nothing to do with you, right?" Kawasaki Saki's words made Dazhi dumbfounded. What do you mean it has nothing to do with you? Are we not familiar with each other? Aren't we a family? Dazhi looked at his sister standing in front of him with a shocked expression.

"Kawasaki, let me guess why you are working and why you need money." Seeing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, Shizuka Hiratsuka quickly spoke up to control the situation. The girls sitting next to her obviously couldn't persuade Saki Kawasaki, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to invite her over early in the morning.

"Dashi, have you changed since you entered the third year of junior high school?" Although she had talked with Xue Nai, Miura Yumiko and others before and had a rough idea of Kawasaki Saki's situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka had not yet carefully asked Dashi who asked her for help.

"I've started cram school." Dazhi replied.

"Is that so? It's for my brother's tuition!" Yuigahama Yui subconsciously expressed her thoughts when she heard this.

"That's not the case." Shizuka Hiratsuka immediately denied Yuigahama Yui's guess.

"If classes start in April, Kawasaki's family will have already solved Dazhi's tuition problem."

"That's the thing. It's not just your brother who needs tuition." Yukino understood what Shizuka Hiratsuka meant. Maybe it was Saki Kawasaki herself who needed tuition.

"Because our school is a college for college entrance exams, many students in their second year of high school choose to continue their studies at university and begin to seriously consider attending summer cram schools."

"Ah!" Dashi suddenly understood the meaning of Yukino's simple and easy-to-understand words.

"elder sister!"

"Oh..." Seeing that everyone knew what she was thinking, Saki Kawasaki simply stopped pretending.

"So I've already told you that you don't need to know. I plan to continue my studies at university, but I don't want to cause any trouble for my parents and Dazhi because of this."

"But I'm really worried about my sister!" Dazhi finally couldn't help it. He had so many people accompany him to toss and turn, but it seemed that nothing was solved. After all, there is a saying that goes, problems that can be solved with money are not problems, but the problem is that there is no money. Kawasaki Saki needs money to go to cram school, but the family itself is very difficult. Kawasaki Saki naturally would not let her family bear such a burden, so she chose to bear it alone.

I even refused to tell my brother what I was doing, but now that I know, what good is it? The problem remains the same.

At this moment, the other girls also lowered their heads. After all, this kind of practical problem cannot be solved by just sitting down and discussing it.

Just like Kawasaki Saki said, will you help me pay for the tuition for the cram school? Obviously, the girls present couldn't do it, let alone Daishi. Hiratsuka Shizuka did have the ability, but it didn't make sense. Hiratsuka Shizuka was just Kawasaki Saki's teacher, nothing more. This behavior was actually too much. Students' private affairs should not be interfered with too much.

So what to do now?

It's so awkward.

"Okay, stop wasting time here!"

A voice sounded from the side, and Haruki stepped forward and stood in front of Kawasaki Saki.

"I'll pay for the cram school!"

……

Chapter 321 Yukino takes action!

"Eh?!"

When everyone heard what Haruki said, they all looked at him in surprise. What did he mean by where the money for the cram school came from?

"Huh? You're the one paying?" Kawasaki Saki also looked at the man in front of her with a different look. He was a physical education teacher. Although he was a substitute teacher, he relied on his monthly salary to pay for his cram school tuition...

"That's right, but this money is certainly not free, it requires a price." Haruki stood in front of Saki Kawasaki. To be honest, Saki Kawasaki's height is definitely very tall among all the girls, and she is still not to be outdone in front of Haruki.

"What's the price?" Saki Kawasaki thought about it for a while and felt that this was not a bad idea. After all, she was really short of money. If someone could really help her pay the tuition, that would be more than she wanted.

But the next second, Saki Kawasaki blushed, put her hands in front of her chest, and then took two steps back as if dodging.

"Wait! You don't mean to..."

Saki Kawasaki always pretends to be very cool, but in fact no one knows what is in her heart.

"That's right!" Yaohui thought that the other party understood his intention, so he nodded quickly.

"Ah! Mr. Hiratsuka! Look at him! He actually wanted to do that kind of thing to me, he will go to jail!" Saki Kawasaki quickly turned to Shizuka Hiratsuka for help. Saki Kawasaki knew that the two were husband and wife, as she had just met them that day.

"Huh? Why should I care about him? Besides, how is this illegal?" Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't understand and looked at the shy Saki Kawasaki with confusion.

"Ah?! But is it really okay for me to do that kind of thing? Even if I myself won't expose him or anything like that, don't you mind?" Saki Kawasaki became more and more excited as she spoke, her voice getting louder and louder, and her original cold appearance instantly disappeared in front of everyone.

"What's the big deal? I've been working overtime a lot lately and I'm so tired that I don't even want to move when I get home. So, why shouldn't I ask you to help me? What's wrong with that? Why should I mind?" Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the girls next to her. It was clear that they didn't understand what she was saying either. But what was there to not understand? She had made it very clear!

"Well... since Mr. Hiratsuka has agreed, I have nothing more to say. I'll leave the tuition for the cram school to you. In exchange, I will go back to your house... remember to be gentle to me." Kawasaki Saki had a little psychological struggle, and finally agreed to Haruki's conditions. At the same time, she put down her hands, stopped puffing up her chest and stood in front of Haruki, allowing the other party to continue attacking her.

"Huh?!" This time it was the three girls next to them who were shocked. Although Dazhi didn't understand what happened, he was very happy because at least his sister would not have to work until the next morning.

"What does it mean to go to the teacher's house?" Yuigahama Yui asked directly without hesitation.

"Yes! And what does being gentle mean? Mr. Hiratsuka, I always thought you were a very upright and respected teacher, but now..." Miura Yumiko couldn't bear it anymore and directly said what she was thinking.

Xue No: “…”

I'll give you a look and let you experience it yourself.

"Oh! Stop talking, we have already figured it out!" Before Shizuka Hiratsuka and Haruki could speak, Saki Kawasaki quickly responded to the three confused girls.

"Hmm? So what are you talking about? Is it that?" Yuigahama Yui was extremely excited. Although she said that, her pretty blushing face had already betrayed her.

"Well...it's that, the one about aiding...communication or something like that!" Saki Kawasaki lowered her voice very low, and even stood next to Yuigahama Yui before she dared to speak in a low voice, for fear that her younger brother Daishi opposite her would hear it.

"Hey! What are you talking about! I'm asking Saki Kawasaki to come to our house to help with the housework." Haruki's hearing was naturally enough to hear the conversation between the two girls clearly. It was obvious that the ambiguous words of Haruki and Hiratsuka Shizuka made the child misunderstand something. But it was also true that Saki Kawasaki needed money and even had to work all night for it. During this period, she would naturally meet some weird uncles who wanted to pay for her youth loss compensation, but in the end she must have rejected them all and had to work in the end.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be so easily stressed. There's no way, this is how the collapse of the world started.

"Eh? Housework?" The blush on Saki Kawasaki's face gradually faded, and her eyes gradually became clear. The girls next to her who looked like they had something to say were also stunned. It was obvious that these guys had all wrong ideas!

"It must be housework, what else could it be? Is it something ** does? What are you thinking about in your heads? I really don't understand what you are learning every day?" Haruki finally got the chance and scolded the girls who were ashamed of their dirty thoughts just now.

"After all, they are high school students and will be adults soon. It's normal." Shizuka Hiratsuka said indifferently at this time. On the surface, she was trying to excuse the dirty hearts of several beautiful girls, but in fact, she was also confirming the fact that they had indeed misunderstood the matter. None of them were pure beautiful girls, and their hearts were extremely dirty!

"I've been really busy at school these days, and I'm exhausted when I get home. We've been ordering takeout to get through this. As for Saki Kawasaki, since she's able to work at such a high-end place, and she also takes care of her younger siblings, it shouldn't be difficult for her to cook a table full of edible meals, right?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka was afraid that Saki Kawasaki wouldn't understand, so she translated it into very simple and easy-to-understand words and told her. This was the solution she came up with after discussing with Haruki. Saki Kawasaki's problem was that she had no money, so wouldn't it be solved by giving her some financial support?

The school will have scholarships later, and Shizuka Hiratsuka can also urge her to study. She can take all the scholarships she can get, and she will definitely be able to scrape together enough money for the cram school tuition. If she only goes to university, it will be more convenient to work part-time, and she won't have to worry about her younger brothers and sisters. This way, the problem is solved.

"Is that so..." Kawasaki Saki also sobered up a little. After understanding Hiratsuka Shizuka's plan, Kawasaki Saki's eyes became determined. "No problem, leave it to me. I'll go home with you tonight!"

The last working day of this week finally passed safely.

Because Saki Kawasaki had been staying up all night, she naturally treated the whole day's classes as a sleep-in class. However, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't say anything. He would definitely settle accounts with her in the future. This little girl was young, but she had a lot of nonsense in her mind, and she even plotted against him. Just wait and see!

On the other side, Haruki has completed this week's KPI, so it's almost the same as yesterday, hiding in the [Service Club] to slack off and think about countermeasures.

Mai Sakurajima has recovered a lot, at least she can walk on her own. Now no one can see her except Haruki, so she can only stay obediently at Shizuka Hiratsuka and Haruki's house. Apart from asking Haruki to find something, she has nothing else to do.

In the blink of an eye, it’s time to go home from school. Finally, there won’t be any weird meetings that will take a long time, right?

Thinking of this, Yaohui walked out of the activity room door and saw three people walking towards him.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, Yukino behind her, and Saki Kawasaki who will be coming home to help with housework soon.

"Going straight back? Eh? Why hasn't Yukino left yet? There shouldn't be any activities today, right? Even if you want to read, there won't be anyone at school later. It's not safe to be alone. Let's go back quickly!"

Haruki said this and then walked towards the three people opposite.

"We'll both wait for you in the car. Yukino has something to tell you."

"what?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka gave some instructions and turned around and went downstairs with Saki Kawasaki. In a blink of an eye, only Yukino and Haruki were left outside the activity room.

"You tell me, it's just the two of us." Haruki didn't think much about it. Yukino was just asking him for a favor or something like that. Besides, he had the approval of Hiratsuka Shizuka, so it was open and aboveboard!

"June 18th, do you know what day it is?" Yukino leaned against the wall next to her and spoke to Haruki with an expressionless face.

"Uh... I don't know. Is it your birthday?" Although it is unlikely that the girl in front of him would take the initiative to tell her birthday, he made a guess. This is how a grown-up person should react, otherwise it would be too strange.

"Yuigahama-san's birthday is... probably..." Yukino added "probably" for the sake of rigor, "because the email address has the numbers 0/6/1/8."

"Aren't you just guessing? You haven't confirmed it directly, right?" If Haruki wanted to know, it was very simple. He could just use the Chakra eyes to take a look. However, there was no need to waste magic power on such things. Asking directly was the safest way.

"Uh..." Yukino was speechless for a moment. Haruki said a lot, and she was just guessing.

"Your communication skills are as good as expected. If you want to know, just ask directly..."

"Huh?!" Yukino was suddenly made anxious by Haruki's words. She stared at Haruki with wide eyes, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

"Okay, okay, go on..." Haruki was also convinced and could only follow Yukino's words for the time being to hear what she wanted to do.

"So I want to celebrate her birthday. After all, Yuigahama Yui is the first member of the Service Club. Of course, I mainly want to express my gratitude to her." Yukino spoke her true feelings. After all, Yuigahama Yui regarded her as a good friend, and she couldn't fail to express her gratitude.

"Oh, what then?" Yaohui said, "Keep talking, I'm listening."

"Then I'll say, Mr. Haruki."

"Huh?" Haruki felt uncomfortable with the sudden politeness.
