Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

You can call her sensitive and delicate, or passionate and fiery, that's fine, but you say she's gentle? How can the fiery and decisive Nino be gentle? The power of love is just too strong.

"And then? Is there anything else?"

Ichika asked nervously, because Hayakawa's reaction didn't seem like he had no affection for Nino.

If Hayakawa really does have feelings for Nino, then I...

No way! Aren't you Hayakawa, the one who said "students can't date"? Then get serious!

Ichika glared fiercely at Hayakawa in front of her, a gambler's savage glint in her eyes.

"And...my grades aren't good,"

Hayakawa thought for a moment and said seriously, "I'll be at ease if you can study hard in the future."

"..."

Ichika was speechless and retorted, "Is this tendency to be a know-it-all... an occupational hazard? Is it because you've been teaching Furuhashi and Ogata for too long that you've become like this?"

As Ichika spoke, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. A few words later, the conversation turned to grades. Sure enough, it was still that bookworm Hayakawa who only knew how to study. It seemed she could relax a little…

"And also..."

Hayakawa's expression faltered slightly, and his voice became somewhat unnatural.

"Ok?"

Ichika looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"She should like me..."

Hayakawa said, "Probably."

Chapter 238 That's great!

Yotsuba never quite understood what love was.

After all, she's a simple-minded idiot; her mind probably only contains family, friends, and things related to sports...

Besides these, there's Hayakawa.

The sunlight bathed the corridor of the teaching building in warmth and brightness. Four-leafed, slender, white fingers traced across the wall beneath the window. Beneath her neat and cute bob haircut was a carefree, innocent smile. She rushed out of the building and ran towards the playground. Behind her, a flock of birds gracefully hopped from the trees into the sky, disturbing the tranquil blue expanse.

She finished class and received a summons from Ichika; she was going to see Hayakawa!

"Hehe~"

Yotsuba smiled and waved to the students she recognized who had returned from the physical fitness test, but her heart had already flown away like an arrow, flying into the playground and to someone's side.

Even though Yotsuba is almost completely ignorant about matters between men and women, she has watched some romance dramas and read some romance books because her older sister loves watching romance dramas. After all, Nino often recommends them to her, and Yotsuba will watch them seriously even if she doesn't like them.

In this experience, Yotsuba discovered a small pattern: most romance novels and TV dramas usually end at the happiest or saddest moment.

If it's a beautiful story, then the male and female protagonists overcome difficulties and hardships, and finally live happily together. If possible, they will also have a child, build a complete family, and finally hold hands and watch the sunset together.

If it's a sad story, then it's terrible. A good love story is about to be associated with the grave. If one of the men and women dies, it's considered a good ending. The most common thing is regret, a regret that can't be let go of for decades or even a lifetime. In the end, when they revisit the place many years later and suddenly want to recall that love, it's as if there are mountains and seas between them, and they can no longer look back. In the end, this hatred is endless, which breaks the heart and brings tears to the eyes.

The screenwriter's inherent flaw: Love must be like this; without torturing the characters in the book to the point of death, the greatness of love cannot be demonstrated.

So, what type of relationship do I have?

Yotsuba ran as fast as she could, leaving the midday wind and the leaves falling from above behind.

It's probably neither of those.

The image of Hayakawa's quiet face, engrossed in reading, appeared in her mind, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Yotsuba's feelings are as simple as her single-mindedness.

In her view, there wasn't much difference between liking Hayakawa and liking her sisters; she wanted to be together, eat together, go out together, and it would be even better if they could study together.

But Hayakawa is ultimately different from his sisters. His sisters can be with him, but Hayakawa might not. He will have his own friends, and even girls he likes, and that person could be his older sister, Nino…

But so what?

Nino is a very good person, and Hayakawa is also a very good person. If the two of them like each other, wouldn't that be a good thing?

Yotsuba was actually quite happy inside, after all, Nino and Hayakawa were the people she loved most. If they could be happy together, she would be happy too. But hidden within this happiness was a little regret, a regret that the person who could be with Hayakawa wasn't her...

But no, Nino likes Hayakawa, and she can't take her away no matter what. She can only support her silently and help her take the drunk Hayakawa home. After all, that's all Yotsuba can do. She can only do such a small job. Then she waits quietly for their relationship to blossom.

then…

Hugs, kisses…

"..."

Yotsuba felt a slight pang in her heart, slowed her pace, and then patted her face forcefully.

Calm down, Yotsuba. Don't be sad. Try to think positively.

If Hayakawa and Nino get together in the future, then Hayakawa will also be family to me, which is equivalent to being together, right? Maybe he will even live in my house, and then I can see him every day and have meals together, which will fulfill my wish.

Thinking of this, Yotsuba's aching heart calmed down a bit, and she regained her happy expression, continuing to walk towards the playground.

I didn't come here to meet Hayakawa secretly; I just came to bring her water because I was worried she might be tired from running.

Yotsuba opened the plastic bag she was carrying and looked inside; it contained several bottles of chilled water.

Ichika and Nino's water was also prepared, and everyone got some.

"Four leaves."

As Yotsuba was thinking, she heard a voice from beside her. She looked over instinctively and found that it was a friend from her club.

"Nahana,"

Yotsuba greeted him with a smile: "You've finished your physical test?"

"Yes, but let's not talk about that now,"

The girl simply replied, "Yotsuba, your older sister Ichika fell down while running."

"what?!"

Yotsuba's eyes widened, her heart skipped a beat, and she asked worriedly, "Is she alright? How badly did she fall? Where is she now?"

"It's nothing serious, just a scraped knee,"

Naka said, "It seems she was taken to the infirmary, but she should be fine now."

"That's good…"

Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest: "Thanks, Naka."

"It's okay, I'm going to eat."

The girl nodded and left, leaving Yotsuba standing there.

"..."

Yotsuba stood still, glanced briefly at the direction of the playground, then gritted her teeth and turned around without hesitation, running in the opposite direction.

Wait for me, Yihua, I'll be there soon.

……

"Nino should like me..."

Hayakawa said softly, "Probably."

Nakano Ichika:? ?

At this moment, Ichika's world seemed to freeze, her face filled with utter bewilderment.

Hey hey hey? Even you noticed?!

"Just a rough estimate."

Hayakawa looked somewhat uneasy, but tried to remain calm, saying, "Perhaps it's a misunderstanding."

"Whoo~"

Ichika immediately breathed a sigh of relief: Thank goodness, it's still the same emotionally oblivious Hayakawa.

"Cough cough,"

Ichika coughed lightly, then said in a serious tone, "It must be a misunderstanding, Hayakawa. You can't assume Nino likes you just because she's nice to you. Honestly~"

"Yeah…"

Hayakawa nodded blankly, then murmured to himself, "That's great..."

It's good that Nino doesn't like me.

Ichika: "..."

At this moment, even Ichika, who did not support Nino's relationship, felt from the bottom of her heart that Nino was really not worth it.

"What do you mean?"

Ichika frowned at Hayakawa: "Don't you think what you said was a bit excessive?"

Chapter 239 The Five Sisters' Great Victory

"Uh,"

Hayakawa glanced at Ichika, scratched his head, and said, "Really?"

"Does that need to be said?"

Ichika's furrowed brows remained unchanged as she looked at Hayakawa with displeasure.

"You misunderstood. I didn't mean to dislike Nino."

Hayakawa thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's just that I'm not in the mood for dating right now, so it's a good thing that Nino doesn't like me."

Upon hearing this, Ichika's expression relaxed slightly, but her mood became somewhat complicated, a mixture of joy and worry. She was happy that Hayakawa clearly had no feelings for Nino, but worried that he had no interest in Yotsuba either.

"Why...why don't you seem to have any interest in dating at all?"

Ichika hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Wouldn't it be better to find a girlfriend? You'll definitely be happy."

Hayakawa's expression trembled upon hearing this, and he silently looked up, tears welling in his eyes: "With the bandits not yet defeated, how can I have a home..."

"Ok??"

Ichika looked completely bewildered: "What do you mean?"

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Hayakawa was already immersed in his own passion, his head bowed in a somber mood.

Ichika: "..."

Hayakawa didn't look at her; instead, he lowered his head and pondered.

Hayakawa had always scoffed at and never watched romantic dramas that were so mentally taxing, but Furuhashi Fumino was very interested in them. As a result, during the two weeks that Furuhashi stayed at his house for tutoring, Hayakawa also watched some of them.

When young love blossoms, it can lead to embraces, kisses, and promises of lifelong happiness. These words are not jokes, but taken with utmost sincerity. This is the essence of youthful infatuation, a sincere belief that "love" is a lifelong commitment.

But Hayakawa didn't agree. Liking someone is easy, but staying together for a long time is extremely difficult. All good things must come to an end. Just as he felt that two friends would eventually part ways, he didn't believe that any emotion could make two people live together for a lifetime without getting tired of each other.

So rather than saying that they were unable to resist falling in love at first sight and ended up together due to various conflicts, "the bright moon is in the sky, the breeze blows the leaves... tears well up in my eyes," it would have been better if they had never met.

"I am leaving,"

Hayakawa bent down slightly, carefully examined the bandage on Ichika's knee, and said after confirming that it was alright, "Be careful on your way back, and don't get hurt again."

With that, he got up to leave.

"Ah... wait a minute,"

As Ichika watched Hayakawa's departing figure, a sudden tremor ran through her heart for some reason, and she couldn't help but call out aloud.

"..."

Hayakawa turned around following the sound. Outside the wooden lattice window of the infirmary, a pool of azure blue stretched out. A slender girl, hiding herself between the clouds and the blue sky, was sitting on the bed in the infirmary, looking up at him with eyes as clear as gemstones, gleaming with an unusual brilliance.

The layers of clouds outside lightened the depth of the sky, and the weather was as beautiful as a light and bright piece of music. Inside, a stunningly beautiful girl quietly looked at him.

The picturesque scene startled Hayakawa slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "Hmm?"

"what…"
