The Legend of Chiba Tutoring

Chapter 107 Isn’t it necessary?
The next morning, Rintaro got up early. After washing up, he set off to school as usual, buying a ready-made lunch on the way. Everything was the same as usual, no difference.

Halfway there, in a familiar place, Rintaro heard slightly hasty footsteps again. When he looked back, he saw that it was an acquaintance.Rintaro was a little surprised, but not very surprised. After all, he had met her here once before. Rintaro nodded to her and said hello to her.

"Good morning, Hazuki-san. Are you jogging in the morning too today?"

"Good morning." Katase Hazuki's expression has not changed much, and she still looks a little cold. However, it seems that because she was running just now, her breathing is a little rapid and her face is flushed, but it looks different from her cold expression. It’s quite a contrast and looks pretty cute.

The daughters of the Katase family are indeed pretty enough.

Katase Hazuki gradually stopped her steps and stopped next to Rintaro.Rintaro was silent for two seconds: "Actually, you don't have to worry about me. I just want to say hello to you. It doesn't matter if you continue your morning exercise."

Katase Hazuki also seemed a little stunned. After the same two seconds, he returned to his previous indifferent state: "I know, I just happened to stop here to take a rest."

Rintaro knew that this was a lie she told to ease the embarrassment, but Rintaro didn't say it because if he did, it would really make him embarrassed.

"I see." Rintaro nodded: "Then let's keep walking."

Then the two people acted together due to an accident.

Rintaro and Katase Hazuki are both relatively indifferent types, and are not very likely to take the initiative to stir up topics, so as they walked, the air of silence spread.However, Katase Hazuki's skills were still shallow and she could not accept this level of silence for the time being, so after walking more than a dozen steps, she took the initiative to raise the topic.

"Why was Sakuraba-san with her yesterday?" Katase Hazuki asked.

Rintaro is not that forgetful, and naturally still remembers what Yorai Katase said yesterday: "She first told me that Seori-san's grades have improved, and told me that I might continue to stay as Seori-san's tutor. thing. Then I thought about Xingli-san’s hard work during this period, so I wanted to buy her a gift or something. Miss Yorai volunteered and came over to recommend me. She seemed to be very idle, I didn’t refuse.”

"...It's quite her style." Katase Hazuki nodded in disbelief.

Rintaro thought for a while: "Although it may be rude to ask this, I still want to ask. Hazuki-san, it seems that your relationship with Miss Yorai... is not particularly good."

Hearing this topic, Katase Hazuki's expression became more indifferent, and he looked at Rintaro with slightly squinted eyes, as if to warn him not to meddle in other people's business.However, this level of eye attack had limited effect on Rintaro. Rintaro pretended not to notice and continued: "Although we don't spend a lot of time together, I think Ms. Yorai still cares about you and Seiri-san. Given your situation, you don’t seem to be in an antagonistic relationship, so I’m a little curious. If you don’t want to answer, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Then Katase Hazuki really took what Rintaro said seriously and didn't say a word. Rintaro was shocked.But it was impossible to take back what he said. Rintaro felt that he might have to ask about this matter later.

The development of things is always different from Rintaro's ideas.

"Why are Sakuraba-san so concerned about this issue? Is it because that woman asked you to come here to inquire?"

"No, it's better to say the opposite. She told me not to talk about related topics. I'm just curious about it." Rintaro replied.

"Is this okay? After all, she can be considered one of your employers, right?" Katase Hazuki looked at Rintaro with cold eyes.

"If she knew about it, she would probably say a few words to me, but she doesn't seem to be such a stingy person, so I will most likely be fine. In this case, I think it's better to try to figure out what's going on between you. Maybe the situation will be better. After all... Well, Hazuki-san, you and Harrai-san are Seori-san's sisters. Generally speaking, family circumstances will also affect personal growth to some extent. My impression is that if tutors have a certain understanding, they may be able to better improve the performance of the service recipients... Can such a position be recognized?" Rintaro looked at Katase Hazuki.

Katase Hazuki was silent and shook her head: "It seems not enough."

"...That's right." Rintaro gave up: "But Hazuki-san would be better off not being too harsh on her sister. Ms. Yorai seems a little pitiful. Let's stop this topic."

In order to prevent Katase Hazuki from replying to him, Rintaro ended the topic early, and was naturally glared at by Katase Hazuki. This was a legitimate right that could be exercised against someone who ended the topic on his own.

"Speaking of which, Hazuki-san, you don't seem to be going to school with Seori-san. Is it possible that Seori-san is still sleeping?"

"...As for Xingri, she should be on her way to school now. I just don't often have breakfast at home, so I run to school a little faster than her."

"Hazuki-san seems to be exercising a lot. Do you want to pass the physical education exam and enter university?"

"No, I just treat it as an entertainment activity."

Then this entertainment activity is quite hardcore.

Because the topic was lost, Katase Hazuki became silent again.In the interest of reciprocity, Rintaro felt that he should also find a topic to discuss, such as a topic that girls usually discuss.Rintaro thought for a while: "Hazuki-san is so beautiful, does she have a boyfriend?"

Katase Hazuki was shocked, slowed down a little, and then quickly distanced herself from Rintaro.

……

"Such a big reaction is unnecessary, right?"

"I'm sorry, Sakuraba-san. Maybe it's because I didn't pay much attention to similar issues before, so I didn't notice that the distance between you and me caused you to have this misunderstanding about the possibility of us. I apologize to you here."

?

"Hazuki-san, did you know that what you just did is highly consistent with a character in a certain novel? By the way, I'm just asking. I'm not interested in you, so you can rest assured."

Katase Hazuki was not only completely uneasy, but also raised a question mark.
