Even with chuunibyou, let's learn together!

Hayakawa smiled upon hearing this.

Yes, we can go home now.

The test papers piled up at home feel like they've been sitting for ages; they're probably all moldy by now. I need to hurry back and take good care of them.

Ichika and Yotsuba's phones both started beeping with messages at the same time. It was obvious that the remaining Nakanos were sending concerned texts after the rain stopped. Hayakawa's phone, however, was silent, as he was home alone.

While anxiously sending messages, Ichika and Yotsuba packed their things. Hayakawa also packed quietly. The group didn't bring much, just a few bags and some extra snacks and desserts, so they packed up easily.

Soon after, a group of people arrived at the door with their bags on their backs. Hayakawa pulled out the room key, and the room instantly fell into darkness.

"let's go."

Hayakawa urged the two sisters to go downstairs together. The two sisters quickly followed Hayakawa to the stairwell and soon arrived at the stairwell where they had encountered the ghost the night before.

Upon reaching this position, Ichika naturally slowed down and subtly hid behind Hayakawa. Seeing this, Hayakawa's suspicions deepened.

However, now is not the time to focus on that. Hayakawa turned his gaze to the stairwell and found that the place where he had put the necklace was gone. He wondered if it had been kicked by someone coming downstairs or swept away by someone cleaning up the trash.

Hayakawa glanced at it and, seeing that the necklace was indeed gone, didn't pay any more attention to it. The three of them went downstairs together and arrived at the front desk.

"check out."

Hayakawa pushed the room key to the receptionist and then said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, guests. I'll have someone go check the rooms now."

The receptionist smiled and then used the walkie-talkie to give a room number, asking a hotel staff member to come and check if there was any damage, dirt, or missing items in the room.

"Ok."

Hayakawa nodded and stood there waiting.

Yotsuba suddenly said, "Hayakawa, you guys go sit over there, I'll wait here."

"Ok?"

Hayakawa was a little confused, but Yotsuba pushed her to sit down on the sofa in the hall.

Ichika then naturally sat down next to her.

"What is she going to do?"

Seeing that Yotsuba had returned to the front desk, Hayakawa asked with some confusion.

"Don't worry about it. Yotsuba just wants to pay for the room."

Ichika was looking at the news online on her phone when she heard Hayakawa's words and explained with a smile.

Hayakawa frowned: "Why?"

"You ask why... because you added a lot of money so that we could have a room to stay. Yotsuba and I both felt bad about it, so we agreed beforehand that we would have to pay for the room."

Ichika put down her phone and said calmly, "How can you always take advantage of others?"

"It's just a little bit of rent."

Hayakawa shook his head helplessly: "Didn't she treat me to dinner too?"

"Inviting friends to dinner is a very normal thing, okay? Everyone does it."

Ichika snorted lightly: "But in a situation like last night, the money should be split equally among everyone. But Hayakawa-kun insisted on paying first, which is not acceptable."

"..."

Whatever you want.

"hey-hey"

Ichika gave Hayakawa a pleased smile: "Don't even think about making me and Yotsuba owe you a favor."

"That's fine then."

Hayakawa sneered: "Thank you for saving me money. I will repay you. The money you saved can be used to buy you workbooks or print out practice questions. Ten thousand yen can print enough papers for you to write for a year."

The smile on Yihua's face froze instantly, her eyes lost their sparkle, and she stood there blankly, unable to comprehend the weight of that number of test papers in her small mind.

Are we going to lift a rock only to drop it on our own feet?

No, please don't!!

"Could you please not retaliate... but instead repay us..."

Ichika's smile vanished completely, and she looked pitifully at Hayakawa, saying aggrievedly, "This was all of our own free will, you don't need to do anything extra."

Hayakawa gave her an incredibly gentle smile, then turned away, everything unspoken.

Yihua immediately deflated, knowing that a large part of his spare time for the next year would probably be taken up, all because of his pointless act of kindness.

What an ungrateful wretch!

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Ichika's somewhat devastated expression, while Hayakawa hesitated, wondering whether he should go over and ask about last night's events right now.

After meeting Furuhashi and Ogata, Hayakawa occasionally felt a little insecure about his intelligence. In his opinion, reasoning had never been his strong suit, so instead of wasting brain cells thinking about problems, he might as well just ask directly.

Now that I'm alone with Ichika, going up and asking her directly isn't a bad option.

For example...

"Hey Ichika, were you the one who slept with me last night?"

However, being so direct is obviously not an option. First of all, asking like this would expose the fact that she slept with someone. If she misunderstood, then Ichika would know that she slept on a makeshift bed with Yotsuba last night, which would be inappropriate.

Secondly, you might receive a response like this.

"Huh? Is this the new version of sexual harassment? Go to hell, you hentai!"

"Moshi moshi, is this the police? I have a suspect here. Arrest him quickly, or all the women aged 8 to 18 in the world will be in trouble!"

Such an answer would not only embarrass Hayakawa greatly, but also provide no information, so asking so directly is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, it's best to be a little more tactful.

"Cough cough..."

Hayakawa coughed lightly, drawing Ichika's attention. After carefully considering his words, he looked at her and said, "Ichika, did you sleep well last night?"

Upon hearing Hayakawa's words, Ichika's heart skipped a beat.

What does that mean...? Is he already doubting me? Or was he just casually asking out of concern...? Could it be that he actually spoke to Yotsuba privately sometime ago and now knows that the person last night was me, and is just teasing me? But I've been alone with the two of them since this morning, they shouldn't have had any chance to be together. Could it be the message on the phone...? When was that?!

Ichika was deeply shocked, but on the surface she remained calm and said casually, "Didn't you see this when you woke up this morning? You didn't sleep well at all. The wind was blowing and the rain was so loud that you had nightmares all night."

After saying that, she even pretended to yawn, looking tired.

"Is that so?"

Hayakawa nodded slightly, then asked after thinking for a moment, "Sleeping in bed should be very comfortable, right? Did you actually roll onto the floor by accident?"

This is definitely a sign that they doubt me!

Moreover, this test was far too crude; anyone could have noticed it.

Alarm bells rang in Ichika's mind, and she could no longer maintain her previous composure. She turned her head slightly and said somewhat guiltily, "How...how could this be? I was sleeping soundly in bed."

After saying that, she picked up her phone and started reading the news again, looking somewhat bored and not wanting to continue the conversation.

Hayakawa had no choice but to give up after his attempts to probe yielded no results.

However, seeing Ichika's somewhat abnormal reaction, Hayakawa's suspicions were almost overwhelming. He was now basically certain that the person last night was not Yotsuba, but Ichika; he just needed one piece of evidence.

Ichika vaguely knew that Hayakawa had probably guessed it, but there was nothing she could do. She could only lower her head and play on her phone like a coward, praying in her heart that Hayakawa wouldn't tell anyone.

Yes, whether Hayakawa knows about this or not is not the point, and more importantly, Yotsuba shouldn't know either.

Even if Hayakawa knew that I was the one last night, I could easily explain that I accidentally fell off the bed and then blame Hayakawa for hugging me and not refusing. Since Hayakawa didn't refuse me, he also bears some responsibility. As long as I threaten him with what happened last night and make him not tell Yotsuba, there won't be any problem.

As long as Yotsuba is unaware, and the sisterly relationship remains intact, everything is safe.

Ichika comforted herself inwardly.

Meanwhile, the receptionist, who had been chatting happily with Yotsuba, received a message on her phone. After glancing at her phone, her expression immediately changed. Her gaze towards Yotsuba's calm demeanor became somewhat strange and odd, and she kept glancing at Ichika and Hayakawa, who were not far away.

"What's wrong, Yuuki-nee?"

Yotsuba asked with some confusion after seeing that look. She learned the other person's name in just a few minutes. That's the little angel's social skills.

"It's nothing, Yotsuba, you can settle the room fee now."

The receptionist averted her rather impolite gaze. She then said, "It'll be 8100 yen."

"Ok."

Yotsuba nodded, then took out her wallet to pay.

The room rate on the sign at the door was 4000 yen per day. The three of them had been there from last night to this evening, which was considered two days. Each day was counted as one day if it was before noon, so it should have been 8000 yen for two days. However, the front desk said it was 8100 yen, which was 100 yen more. But Yotsuba didn't care. She just assumed it was a cleaning fee or that the owner's room was more upscale.

But the situation changed the next moment.

The receptionist blushed slightly and whispered to her in a strange tone, "Yosuga, are you two sisters in that kind of relationship with that guy? I was a little suspicious when I saw you sharing a room, but I didn't expect it to be the three of you together... High school students these days are like this... I underestimated you a bit, but as someone who's been there, I still want to remind you to be a little more restrained. Even if you're young... you can't. Even if you can handle it, that guy might not be able to handle two people."

This long, raucous speech completely stunned Yotsuba, her mind going blank. After a long while, her pretty face flushed red as she exclaimed, "You...you...you've misunderstood! We're not in that kind of relationship! What nonsense are you talking about?! We were forced to live together because there was only one room left. How could you possibly think that?!"

"is it?"

The receptionist glanced at Yotsuba and asked doubtfully, "The extra 100 yen is for the room's own BYT, you should have used that, right?"

"what?"

Yotsuba was struck dumb, her pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints.

Was a box of that stuff used in the room?

Who used it? How come I don't know?

"You're the ones who took it, right? It's gone now."

The receptionist smiled and said, "You seem to be unaware of the situation. I mean, it has nothing to do with you and is about your sister and that boy. But this is too abnormal. Could it be that you were asleep last night and that's why you were sleeping so soundly?"

The woman in her early thirties had a teasing look on her face. She had experienced a lot at her age, and her openness and acceptance of sex was unimaginable to teenage girls. For her, some things were no different from talking about eating and drinking. For example, the term "friends with benefits" would be unacceptable to a girl of Yotsuba's age, but it was normal to her.

In the eyes of the receptionist, there is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women. The fact that the three of them checked into a hotel together and had a close relationship clearly indicated something was wrong. In addition, the fact that a box of BBQ was missing spoke volumes.

Chapter 478 Ichika likes it?

As for Yotsuba's unaware reaction, it was definitely an act. The receptionist didn't believe that someone could continue sleeping soundly while the two people next to her were "getting intimate." Did she take sleeping pills?

As for the two sisters serving the same man, although it was a bit surprising, it was understandable. The man was handsome, had a good figure and temperament, and most importantly, he was generous. His appearance and every word and action could even be described as aristocratic.

What is aristocratic temperament? Aristocratic temperament is the aloofness from labor, the sense of superiority, as well as indifference and fatigue. Being aloof from labor means that you can tell at a glance that he is a refined child who has been pampered since childhood and has never had to work. The sense of superiority means that he is far removed from the average appearance of the masses. This is also different from ordinary handsome appearance. Rough hands and face, slightly dark skin from the sun, and uneven body contours. Even if they look exactly the same, people can still keenly notice these details.

Indifference and fatigue arise because desires are more easily satisfied, leading to a loss of interest and pursuit in most people and things. There is a clear difference between someone who is constantly working like a white-collar worker, racking their brains and exhausting themselves, and someone who lives a life of luxury and refinement. In fact, there is a difference in common sense. This is what is meant by the contempt of the meat-eater.

Hayakawa clearly possesses a similar temperament. His experiences from childhood to adulthood have instilled in him an extraordinary passion for learning, but he is generally indifferent to everything else. He doesn't care much about the basic human needs of food, sex, and sex that ordinary people pursue, and he is obsessed with how to climb higher in his grades every day.

The receptionist could tell from his nonsensical calm when handing over money and the air of refinement that comes with generations of upbringing that this guy's family background was definitely not normal. It's hard to imagine how popular a handsome guy from a good family would be during his school days, and it would be perfectly normal for him to have multiple girls pursuing him.

However, it's still quite enviable to be able to book a hotel room with such a pair of beautiful sisters. Moreover, I heard from Yotsuba that they are quintuplets and they all look incredibly similar. Could it be that all five sisters have been captured?

"..."

Thinking of this, the receptionist couldn't help but look at Hayakawa with admiration and shock.

One person can handle five people... Young people these days are really strong and robust.

"I…"

Seeing the receptionist's ever-changing expression, Yotsuba opened her mouth as if to explain, but didn't know how to accept it.

What did you say? You said that the Byt wasn't actually for my sister Yihua at all, but that I used the whole box last night, and my sister didn't even get to use a single one. She was just tied to the bed, biting a handkerchief, watching herself unleash her power. How could that be?!

As long as there is no way to explain Byt's whereabouts, he can't say anything.

So Yotsuba wisely stopped explaining, silently lowered her head, paid the money, and turned to leave.

Goodbye, Yotsuba-chan.

The receptionist smiled and waved to the energetic, friendly, and adorable young woman: "Come again next time!"

"Bye-Bye."

While Yotsuba was saying this, she was thinking to herself, who would stay in a love hotel for no reason, especially one where every room comes with those kinds of inappropriate items?

I'll never come here again!

Yotsuba turned and left angrily, but her spirits immediately waned when she saw Hayakawa and Ichika, and she became dejected.

What should I do... I really want to know where that thing in the room went. Could it really have been used up while I was asleep last night?
