Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Yihua's pupils contracted instantly, and her pink lips parted slightly as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

"Can't you?"

Yotsuba, noticing Ichika's strange reaction, tentatively asked...

"This"

Ichika said in a subtle tone, "I never thought that the five of us sisters would one day compete with each other based on our grades. Before, we would only get single digits and it was all about who was lucky."

"that's true…"

Yotsuba understood immediately upon hearing this, and a subtle expression appeared on her face as well. She then asked, "What do you think, Ichika? Can we make this decision?"

"That's definitely not possible."

Ichika resolutely refused without the slightest hesitation.

Yotsuba was devastated: "Why?"

"Why did you say?"

Ichika looked at Yotsuba expressionlessly: "I'd like to ask why Yotsuba is starting to have her own little schemes? Hayakawa started teaching you a long time before me. You even went to his house before, right? I guess that's when you started learning. I've only been learning from that night at the hotel and tonight. I'm nowhere near as good as you. Besides, Hayakawa taught you individually before, but when he taught me, there were several of us. That's not fair at all. If we're talking about grades, we might as well have you compete with me in sports and just declare you the winner."

"I...I didn't think that way."

Yihua's little thoughts were seen through, and Yotsuba's face flushed slightly as she whispered that she had indeed proposed this competition because she was confident in her ability to pass the exam.

"I don't believe you, and I won't listen to Yotsuba anymore."

Ichika suddenly stood up and pushed Yotsuba towards the door: "Alright, it's getting late. We have to get up early for school exams tomorrow. I'm sleepy too. Yotsuba, you should probably go back to your room and go to sleep as well."

"Eh?"

Yotsuba was pushed to the doorway, her face full of confusion: "I haven't finished speaking yet, Hayakawa... Hayakawa."

"I've said everything I needed to say. I won't budge on the Hayakawa issue, and arguing with you now won't get me anywhere."

Ichika pushed Yotsuba out the door, then closed it. A final voice came from inside: "You heard what Nino and Hayakawa said in the room just now... didn't you?"

Yotsuba paused, of course she heard it.

Nino invited Hayakawa to go to the movies together during the holidays.

"I'll go too."

Ichika gently said to Yotsuba outside the door, her tone firm: "During the holidays, I will also invite Hayakawa on a date."

"..."

"When the time comes, you can come along if you want."

Ichika said something and went back to bed, leaving Yotsuba alone standing at the door.

The figure stood blankly at the door for a long time, letting out a mournful sigh.

"How could it have turned out like this..."

……

The next morning, sunlight shone on the bed in the room and also on Hayakawa's face.

"wake"

Hayakawa sat up abruptly, slowly opened his eyes, and two beams of divine light burst forth from them. He raised his arm and quietly looked at his palm for a long time before clenching his fist tightly.

The power he had lost due to not sleeping well for several days returned to his body.

I have to say, the calming milk I've been saving in May is really amazing. Hayakawa had an excellent night's sleep and felt refreshed when she woke up.

It seems that you can learn something from idiots after all.

Hayakawa went out and found that none of the five sisters had woken up, so she went to the bathroom to wash up by herself, and then sat down quietly in the place where she had studied the night before to read a book.

Not long after, the first door opened on the second floor, followed by a red-haired girl yawning and stretching as she walked downstairs.

"what…"

The girl saw that Hayakawa's face was slightly flushed as she sat on the sofa, so she quickly put down her arms that were stretching and said, "Hayakawa-san, you got up so early. I thought my alarm was early enough."

This nickname, this easily embarrassed reaction, and that signature ahoge (cowlick) on his head that didn't fall down even after sleeping all night... this person is undoubtedly May.

Good morning, May.

Hayakawa greeted him.

May's eyes narrowed slightly as she softly replied, "Good morning, Hayakawa-kun."

He recognized me instantly.

As expected, Hayakawa-kun...

May entered the bathroom with a heavy heart and a flushed face.

Not long after she went into the bathroom, she heard a sound again from upstairs. A girl with messy hair, looking like a frizzy lion, emerged from the same room in May. She rubbed her eyes as she went downstairs.

It was Miku who had slept with Midnight last night. She was also woken up when May woke up with her alarm clock, but she dozed off for a while before actually getting up.

Good morning, Miku.

Hayakawa gave her advance notice to prevent Miku from noticing her presence and making any indecent moves. After all, some girls are often unkempt at home, and it's normal for them to suddenly lift their shirts or something like that. It wouldn't be good if she saw that.

"what…"

Miku was startled and realized that there was someone sitting on the sofa. She paused for a moment before realizing that it was Hayakawa.

She had a recurring dream last night, all of which was about being picked up from her bed by a boy, and that boy was the one sitting on the sofa in front of her.

Good morning...

Miku greeted him with her head down, then hurriedly walked towards the restroom.

"..."

I think I made a bad impression on Miku. He seems afraid of me.

Hayakawa recalled his lecture from the previous night and found nothing inappropriate, so he stopped thinking about it.

Chapter 513 Yotsuba's Unnaturalness

There will always be a small number of people who are socially anxious and easily frightened. There is no need to change your habits for them. As long as you teach and give lectures normally, there will be no problem.

Hayakawa lowered his head and continued reading.

May quickly finished washing up and went upstairs to change clothes and wake people up. Soon after, the other girls, still sleepy, followed her downstairs and went into the bathroom one by one in an orderly fashion to wash up.

Hayakawa looked up from his book at Yotsuba sitting on the sofa. The girl didn't seem as energetic and spirited as usual; instead, she looked rather dazed.

Yotsuba looked like this after coming out of the bathroom; she was clearly preoccupied.

Hayakawa thought for a moment, closed the book, and slowly sat down next to her.

"How did you sleep?"

Hayakawa started the conversation somewhat awkwardly. He was really bad at chatting, especially in other people's homes, and he always felt that if he said anything out of line, someone would hear him.

"Ah...it's alright."

Yotsuba avoided Hayakawa's gaze somewhat awkwardly: "I guess you could say I've made a full recovery."

Hayakawa frowned slightly. "Sleep well is sleep well. What do you mean by 'sleep well'? Such an ambiguous reply only makes people more concerned."

Before Yotsuba could continue asking questions, she paused for a moment and then casually said, "Hayakawa..."

Hayakawa replied, "What's wrong?"

"You like Ichika..."

Four Leaf asked, "How did you see it?"

Hayakawa was stunned. What kind of question was this?

Normally this is just a regular chat, but considering Yotsuba's identity and her performance after the mutation last night, it's different. Clearly, this question has a deeper meaning.

Could it be that last night, a flower...

Hayakawa's mind was a bit of a mess, and he couldn't think of a good answer for the time being. So he cautiously gave what he thought was the most appropriate answer: "He's a good kid."

Yotsuba paused for a moment, then chuckled, "...What kind of answer is that? Do you treat her like a child?"

Hayakawa thought to himself, "When you guys were lecturing, it felt like your brains were at a kindergarten level, like they weren't fully developed. What kind of relationship do I have with you kids?" However, he didn't say anything. Even Hayakawa wouldn't say something so obviously hurtful.

"I did not mean that…"

Yotsuba hesitated for even longer this time, until Hayakawa grew impatient before she finally said quietly, "What I mean is, if we consider Ichika as a girl, then you are..."

"What are you talking about?"

A sudden sound appeared from the side; a familiar and charming voice arrived quietly, but instead of being cute, it sounded rather eerie.

"what…"

Hayakawa was startled, then looked to the side expressionlessly. Ichika, who had appeared out of nowhere, said, "Your way of speaking to me is really too abnormal. It's so sudden that it's going to scare people."

"Haha, I'm Ba Jiuwu. I saw you guys having a great time chatting, so I came over to listen too."

Ichika scratched her head and chuckled, her gaze falling on Yotsuba with a strange look. She smiled happily and said, "Let me just naturally join your conversation!"

"It feels very unnatural, okay?"

Hayakawa, his face darkening, said, "By the way, are you done getting ready? We have an exam today, so we need to get to school early. Don't let everyone else be ready and you dawdle and end up being late."

Hayakawa scolded, or rather reminded, Ichika that in his mind, the girl in front of him was a somewhat sloppy and unreliable girl, so he needed to ask her more questions, otherwise she would cause trouble.

"Don't worry, it's already cleaned up."

Ichika showed off her fully-on school uniform and gave Hayakawa a no-brainer: "We're ready to go anytime."

"Who asked about your clothes? I was talking about your backpack. Did you bring all your paper, pens, and stationery?"

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "And the review materials for tomorrow's exam."

"Oh, I forgot about that."

Ichika blinked and said, "Let's go back to the room to look for it after we finish eating."

Hayakawa's face immediately darkened: "Go find it right now!"

"Hayakawa-kun is so fierce, I can't find him for a while."

Ichika feigned a wronged expression, but couldn't hide the joy in her eyes: "Then why don't you come with me to my room later to help me look for it?"

"I... uh, well, it's not really appropriate for me to go to your room."

Hayakawa was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yotsuba beside him somewhat awkwardly: "Why don't you let Yotsuba go with you?"

"That's true."

Ichika smiled at Yotsuba, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, what were Yotsuba and Hayakawa talking about just now? I think I heard my name mentioned."

"Eh"

A flicker of panic flashed in Yotsuba's eyes as she turned her head away: "What were we talking about just now? How should I know?"

"Hayakawa-kun?"

Seeing that Yotsuba was clearly unwilling to answer, Ichika turned directly to Hayakawa to ask for the answer.

"She asked me what I thought of you?"

"..."

Without any hesitation, I just blurted it out!

"Eh, I'm so curious!"

Ichika's eyes lit up immediately, and she stepped forward: "Hayakawa-kun, what do you think of me?"

Hayakawa said calmly, "I think you're a good kid."

"..."

That's a rather subtle answer; what does that mean?

This could be considered a kind of affection, but it seems a bit strange... Could it be familial love? So, does he feel like I'm his father or brother? Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Ichika couldn't help but fall into deep thought, her mood fluctuating between good and bad, filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

However, Hayakawa's opinion of Ichika and the others is actually quite different.
