Family Tutor

The point is not letting you attend cram school?

Kazuto Kirigaya's lips twitched slightly, but thinking that children speak without malice and that he shouldn't hold a grudge against a child's misstep, he decided not to dwell on the young girl's mistake.

He cleared his throat and said in a drawn-out voice, "I can become your tutor."

Yuuki Asuna's eyes widened, and she stared straight at Kazuto Kirigaya. She said, "Are you sure my mother will believe you?"

A sharp glint flashed in Kazuto Kirigaya's eyes. He said confidently, "I believe that gold will shine wherever it is."

Yuuki Asuna fell into thought, considering feasible plans.

She asked the young man again, somewhat uncertainly, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Kazuto Kirigaya thought for a moment, unable to imagine any possibility of failure, and nodded confidently, "There won't be any problems."

Looking at the young man's boastful demeanor and recalling his previous words, her mind began to stir. She gritted her teeth, thinking of the countless days and nights she was forced to attend cram school. With a determined heart, she decided to try, risking a scolding.

Thus, Yuuki Asuna turned and grabbed the young man, pulling him back.

"Huh? Hinachan, are you... not going to class?" Kazuto Kirigaya was pulled along by the girl.

"What class? You go talk to my mother first."

It was clear that Yuuki Asuna was not the studious type.

The doorbell rang, and a somewhat stern voice came from inside.

"Who is it?" Soon, the door was opened by a woman around thirty with short hair. She looked like a very harsh lady.

The moment she saw Yuuki Asuna, her expression turned gloomy.

She gave a harsh first impression.

"Asuna, why aren't you at cram school?" Kyoko Yuuki asked, her face stern.

It was evident that she was in a bad mood.

Yuuki Asuna instinctively flinched. It was clear that the young Asuna was extremely afraid of her mother.

But thinking of her companion behind her, she mustered her courage and said, "Mother, I have something to discuss with you." With that, she revealed the blonde-haired boy behind her.

Kyoko Yuuki was taken aback. Seeing Kazuto Kirigaya behind her, she pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "You're that child prodigy, aren't you?"

Kazuto Kirigaya was slightly surprised. He asked, "You've seen me?"

Kyoko Yuuki didn't reply. She glanced at Yuuki Asuna, moved aside to open a path, her expression softening. She said directly, "Come in."

Yuuki Asuna instinctively let the young man in. She hid behind Kazuto Kirigaya; it was clear she had chickened out.

Kazuto Kirigaya found it amusing and didn't pay it much mind. He swaggered into the house and took off his shoes at the entrance.

The Yuuki residence was large and luxuriously decorated. Most of the furnishings inside had a simple, ancient charm, giving the impression of a scholarly family at first glance.

Kyoko Yuuki led Kazuto Kirigaya to the living room, pointed to a chair opposite them, and gestured for them to sit. "What would you like to drink?"

"Plain water, thank you," Kazuto Kirigaya said without any embarrassment, stating his request openly.

Kyoko Yuuki nodded slightly and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

While she was gone, Yuuki Asuna leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Is it okay?"

Kazuto Kirigaya patted his chest and said, "No problem. I passed my IELTS, so I can teach you, right?"

Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat.

Kyoko Yuuki soon returned with a glass of plain water and placed it in front of the young man.

Kazuto Kirigaya said, "Thank you."

Kyoko Yuuki moved to the side and asked, "What is it?"

Kazuto Kirigaya instinctively looked at Yuuki Asuna, but she also looked at him.

They blinked at each other.

Alright, alright.

Is this girl that timid? Noticing their unusual interaction, Kyoko Yuuki frowned subconsciously.

Kazuto Kirigaya coughed a few times and said, "Madam, I would like to become Yuuki Asuna's tutor. I will teach her English, and my French and German are also quite good, so I can also handle her other language subjects."

Kyoko Yuuki remained silent, tapping her fingers on the table.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Kazuto Kirigaya casually said a few things.

Unexpectedly, Kyoko Yuuki also started chatting with Kazuto Kirigaya.

"Why do you want to be a tutor?" Kyoko Yuuki's speech was fast but her pronunciation was exceptionally standard. She said this sentence in English.

After thinking for a moment, Kazuto Kirigaya replied, "I suppose I have a connection with your daughter, and I happen to be looking for a part-time job to earn some money."

"So, what can you teach?"

"English, German, French, and Chinese are all fine. Other subjects from middle school and high school are no problem for me, so you can entrust your child to me with peace of mind."

Kyoko Yuuki thought for a moment and continued, "Are German and French both okay?" She said this in French.

"Naturally," Kazuto Kirigaya replied in French as well.

"Then, what is your salary expectation?" Kyoko Yuuki continued.

However, the moment she spoke, it almost made him laugh.

This was because Kyoko Yuuki was speaking Chinese, and in a very clumsy way at that.

Kazuto Kirigaya suppressed a smile and stated directly, "My expected salary is 5,000 yen per hour."

It was rare to hear his familiar mother tongue after so long. As a Chinese person, he would never be unfamiliar with his own language, no matter how it was spoken.

Kazuto Kirigaya's pronunciation was extremely standard, so standard that Kyoko Yuuki felt a little embarrassed.

She cleared her throat and said, "Alright, I can let you teach Asuna. I will assess her every month, and if she doesn't meet my expectations, your job will be terminated."

Kyoko Yuuki had her own considerations for doing this. Although the young man was a prodigy, knowledge reserves and teaching are completely different things.

Someone knowledgeable isn't necessarily suited to teach others, and conversely, someone suited to teach others isn't necessarily knowledgeable.

The Yuuki family was not short of money; on the contrary, they were very wealthy, but they placed even greater importance on education.

Especially the education of their own children.

The reason she agreed to the young man's proposal was also to observe him.

She had actually known about the prodigy's name for a long time. She had seen him on television before and had dismissed it at the time, thinking it was just a gimmick created by the media to attract traffic. But seeing him now, she was surprised that the rumors were actually true.

However, despite her surprise, she could still understand to some extent.

There were indeed such people in this era, and this young man was undoubtedly a genius. Since the rumors were not false, she could try to win him over to some extent.

With this thought, she looked at the young man with yellow hair.
