Chapter 228

But before she could stand up, Ishikawa Hayato hurriedly spoke.

"Going back now, the classroom will be too noisy for studying."

This reason was perfectly valid, and for Kita, who wasn't leaving because she was bored, it was enough to change her mind.

She had slightly lifted herself up, but then sat back down on Ishikawa Hayato's lap.

Even so, she still complained.

"If you keep pulling me like this, it'll all be Hayato-kun's fault if I fail my retake!"

"Don't worry, my Ikuyo is cute, athletic, and quick to learn, she'll definitely pass the makeup exam!"

Ishikawa Hayato said it for sure, but at the same time, he was also mentally preparing to write a list of key points specifically for the makeup exam, because he didn't want to be proven wrong.

"That's not enough!"

Kita seemed quite happy, but still seemed a little bothered. She smiled and thought for a moment.

"If I fail the makeup exam, I'll probably get scolded when I get home, at least..."

As she spoke, she suddenly began to mutter, "Those dress-up punishment games don't seem to work on Hayato-kun at all... I guess I'll have to consider that..."

Ishikawa Hayato found it quite amusing to watch Kita to figure out how to prank him.

He patiently waited for her to make a decision.

"I've made up my mind. If I fail the makeup exam, Hayato-kun will delete my embarrassing past!"

Kita laughed heartily, clearly still harboring resentment towards the stack of embarrassing past events in Ishikawa Hayato's hand.

She seemed prepared to perish along with Ishikawa Hayato's dark past.

But what she received in return was a very firm rejection from Ishikawa Hayato.

"No! Change it. This is something I want to keep for life."

Kita wasn't too surprised by Ishikawa Hayato's answer; her smile remained unchanged as she continued.

"Then please make a copy of Hayato-kun's childhood photo album for me, not a single picture can be missing."

"What are you going to do with my childhood photos?!"

Ishikawa Hayato cried out in a mixture of fear and embarrassment.

Kita was taken aback, then dumbfounded. This silly girl seemed to be only now realizing how strange her request was.

She just wanted to use her past as a deterrent.

"Who would do that!"

She also cried out shyly.

After chatting for a while longer, Kita checked the time on her phone, but when she turned back, she saw Ishikawa Hayato's "teary-eyed" expression, and she sighed helplessly.

"It seems that's all it is, Hayato-kun won't let me go back."

Sensing that Kita perks, Ishikawa Hayato nodded repeatedly.

"Uh-huh."

But at this moment, Kita asked thoughtfully.

"Why does Hayato-kun think I'm good at sports? We usually have separate PE classes, right?"

"This is something everyone needs to know," Ishikawa Hayato said seriously, but after seeing Kita's helpless smile, he became serious again.

"I heard it from the girls in my class."

"I see..."

Kita, then suddenly felt a little shy, but still spoke.

"Um, I haven't really practiced this much, so don't compare me to people who have practiced it professionally. Also, Hayato-kun, stay in this position and don't move."

"Um?"

Just as Ishikawa Hayato uttered a sound of confusion, he saw Kita press her skirt as she slightly stood up. She lowered her body, resting her lower back against his legs, and then lay down smoothly.

At that moment, Kita showed Ishikawa Hayato the soft, supple figure of a young girl.

Her slender body, shaped like an "n", slumped against his legs.

Kita had been sitting upright, relaxed and lay down, her lithe body still curved inward to show her suppleness.

She even had the strength to hold onto the hem of her clothes to prevent them from turning inside out.

Because of the stretch, the hem of her clothes couldn't completely cover her healthy, fair skin, revealing her waist.

The girl's waist was tight and flat, gently contracting inwards in an exaggerated manner, and with the stretching of her movements, her lower abdomen was frighteningly flat and thin.

The pleated skirt was wrapped around her waist, but on her slender waist, the loosely tied waistband looked flimsy.

She showed herself without any reservations in front of him.

But only for a moment. She touched her exposed belly, realized she had given Ishikawa Hayato too much, and used her core strength to straighten her upper body back up.

Kita sat up straight again, his face flushed.

She tugged at her clothes silently, embarrassed, and offered a brief explanation.

"I just saw it online by chance, and I thought it was very simple, so I showed it to you."

Based solely on her actions and the shyness with which she spoke, Ishikawa Hayato unilaterally concluded that the tsundere archetype hadn't faded yet!

But maybe she's just being spoiled and arrogant.

Just now, when Kita a presentation, Ishikawa Hayato was worried that his remarks might affect her and cause her to accidentally hurt herself, so he saved his words for now.

"Ikuyo..."

But Kita didn't give him any chance. She stood up abruptly and took two light steps forward.

"Nothing is acceptable, Hayato-kun."

She walked briskly towards the rooftop gate with a laugh, leaving behind a sentence.

"Then I'll leave the revision to you."

By the end of the next class, Ishikawa Hayato had already written down the key points for review and confidently handed them to Kita.

"If you memorize everything on this, you'll definitely pass."

Really? Thank you!

She happily put down the notebook, but then she hesitated for a moment, as if something had occurred to her.

Ishikawa Hayato smiled, patted her on the shoulder, and said to her.

Turn to the last page and take a look.

Kita blinked in confusion and flipped to the last page of the notebook.

It says on the wall that my childhood photo album is in my room, and it can only be opened when there are two people in the room. If you want to see it, you can come to me anytime next week.

His wolfish ambitions are written very clearly.

"Who would go!"

Kita cried out in shame and anger.

During lunch break, Ishikawa Hayato Hitori on the first floor of the school, just like last semester.

He had just arrived at their meeting place when he heard hurried footsteps approaching.

Then a young girl rushed into his arms and quietly leaned against him to calm herself down.

Hitori were only a few girls who would allow Ishikawa Hayato to get this close to him, and the girl in front of him was naturally still not used to the changes brought about by his new image.

He stroked her long hair with amusement.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

"Um..."

Hitori nodded happily.

She quickly filled Ishikawa Hayato with a sense of security and social connection, then stepped back half a step to restore distance.

But when she looked up, her face showed hesitation, and she asked Ishikawa Hayato after a moment's pause.

"Hayabusa... if I repeat a grade, can I just drop out of school...?"

Hitori looked at him with eyes full of unease.

Ishikawa Hayato, who had originally planned to chat with her on their way to a restaurant, stopped in his tracks.

Clearly, this is not the time to enjoy a peaceful lunch.

He became serious and asked Hitori.

"Hitori, please explain in detail."

"Eh..."

Hitori felt guilty and began to avoid eye contact, but still answered honestly.

"My teacher said that if I continue with these grades, I might not make it to the second year of high school..."

Hearing her reply, Ishikawa Hayato breathed a sigh of relief and resumed his original plan, chatting with her as he walked towards the lunch spot.

He pulled her Hitori, urging her to follow him, and said...

"Don't worry about your grades. I'll tutor Hitori later. Also, I've prepared the key points for today's makeup exam. I'll go over them with you after we finish eating."

"Uh-huh!"

Hitori nodded earnestly, seemingly having great faith in the key points that Ishikawa Hayato had compiled.

If Ishikawa Hayato were to try and guess what she was thinking, he would find that she was already imagining herself as a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel, having obtained an invincible artifact, about to cause a stir in the class, and enjoying the sight of many people worshipping her.

Seeing the girl beside him looking so happy, he reached out and patted her head, Hitori a happy smile appeared on his face.

The two walked lightly towards their lunch break area, carrying their lunch with them.

177. The commotion before the school festival (6)

After lunch, Ishikawa Hayato found an empty, abandoned classroom near the clubhouse and prepared to give Hitori a private tutoring session.

It was described as an abandoned classroom, but after looking inside, it was actually more accurately described as a club activity room for a recently disbanded department.

Two long tables and a pile of chairs were stacked in the corner, and a set of school desks and chairs was placed not far from the window.

Ishikawa Hayato wiped it with a piece of paper and there wasn't much dust.

Are you getting tutoring here?

Hitori confirmed from behind him.

Ishikawa Hayato, holding the paper he'd used to wipe the chair twice, turned around and asked her...

"How does Hitori feel?"

"I think it's okay..." Hitori said, noticing Ishikawa Hayato's helpless expression, and quickly added.

"I'm just a little worried that other people might come."

"It's already this late, no one else will be opening."

Ishikawa Hayato comforted her, and Hitori and nodded. She then moved a chair down from the side and placed it next to the set of chairs.

Ishikawa Hayato was slightly surprised by her current efficiency, but when he saw her looking at the slightly dusty chair helplessly, he took out another piece of paper.

Hitori looked at him curiously and asked.

"It seems like Falcon always carries tissues and a handkerchief with him."

"It's just a habit I developed unintentionally."

Ishikawa Hayato responded casually.

After wiping the tables and chairs, the two officially began their tutoring session.
