"Go ahead, Mr. Hayakawa."

Ogata's father poured a cup of tea for Hayakawa using the teapot that had just been placed on the table and said.

Sorry, never drink stimulating liquids.

"Please take a look. These are Ogata's liberal arts scores from his two monthly exams."

Hayakawa glanced at the teacup but didn't touch it. Instead, he took out Ogata Rizu's two monthly exam report cards and overlapped them one on top of the other.

“There has been a lot of progress compared to before.”

Ogata's father put the rolling pin in his hand aside, looked at it carefully, and then showed a look of satisfaction.

Any parent who cares about their children would be happy to see their children’s grades improve.

"Yes, not only compared with the previous results, but also compared with the two monthly exams, there is improvement, although it is not particularly significant."

Hayakawa nodded and said softly, "But overall it's still a positive trend."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hayakawa,"

Ogata's father said sincerely, "Since you taught my daughter, Rizu is not as distressed as before when studying, and she smiles more often than before. I feel there is hope."

"I didn't do anything,"

Hayakawa shook his head: "It's all the result of her own hard work. I just did some ordinary work."

Ogata's father did not speak. Didn't his daughter work hard before? He saw her distress and loss but could do nothing about it. But now she has changed significantly. Even with the most simple control variable method, Ogata's father knows who is responsible for this.

Moreover, Rizu had told her more than once how seriously Hayakawa taught her. He gave her papers and marked questions every day, and prepared study notes for the two of them until late at night. She never complained in the face of the two people's barrage of questions, and her tolerance level was so high that it didn't seem like he was teaching an outsider.

Ogata's father listened to all this and looked at the hopeful look gradually appearing on Ogata Rizu's face. In fact, he was still very grateful to Hayakawa in his heart. Otherwise, if any other boy was brought into the house by Ogata, he would have been driven out with a rolling pin by the extreme daughter-control cult.

"Then there were some questions,"

After Hayakawa talked about Ogata's progress, he also talked about some problems he found in teaching, such as Ogata Rizu's lack of concentration and insufficient rest.

Ogata's father listened carefully, asked questions from time to time, and then helped Hayakawa find a solution.

"Then it was just now. I saw Ogata on my way home after school..."

Upon seeing this, Hayakawa told Ogata about what he had seen her doing outside delivering food, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Ogata Rizu for still being out delivering food so late.

"..."

Ogata's father remained silent upon hearing this. In fact, Ogata Rizu had been helping in the store since she was very young, and he had gotten used to it over the years. Her presence did help the store a lot, but Hayakawa's words made him realize that he seemed to have neglected his daughter's safety in this regard.

Maybe it's time to give in for my daughter. After all, compared to Riju, it doesn't matter if this udon shop is not open.

"I understand, Mr. Hayakawa."

Ogata's father nodded and said seriously, "I will discuss this with my daughter."

"Well, that's good, thank you for your enlightenment."

Hayakawa breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "That's it for tonight. I'm going to go back first. I'll tell you if Ogata has any problems with her studies in the future."

"Thank you, Mr. Hayakawa."

Ogata's father also stood up. His usually stern face showed some kindness to Hayakawa for the first time, and he said with emotion: "It is really lucky for Riju to have you as her tutor."

Is it her luck to meet me?

But it is my misfortune that I met her!

"..."

Hayakawa narrowed his eyes slightly, hatred rising in his heart, and he endured his irritation and said casually: "It's okay, it's what I should do."

"But even so, don't try to take advantage of my daughter."

Ogata's father nodded, then leaned over and said, "Although she is indeed cute, she is still a high school student after all."

"I already said I wouldn't do that!"

Hayakawa said expressionlessly: "I'm going back."

"excuse me."

Hayakawa said this, picked up his schoolbag from the chair next to him, and turned around and left the entrance of the Udon shop.

Ogata's father looked at Hayakawa's back, and the next moment he was hit hard on the head again. He looked to the side and saw Ogata Rizu, whose face was filled with shame and anger.

"Father, you are talking nonsense again!"

Ogata Rizu gritted her teeth and held high in her hand a pure wooden rolling pin that was placed next to her just now.

"Daughter, you wouldn't be eavesdropping here, would you?"

Ogata's father covered his head and couldn't help shaking his head. Seeing Ogata Rizu's look of wanting to kill her father, he quickly said, "Teacher Hayakawa just left, don't you want to go and see her off?"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Ogata Rizu was startled and quickly dropped the rolling pin in her hand. Then she hurriedly patted her shop assistant uniform to smooth out the wrinkles, and then brushed off the flour dust on her hands, then hurriedly ran out of the store.

Looking at his daughter's hurried back and her nervous and uneasy look when she was tidying up her appearance just now, Ogata's father couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

As a father, it was the first time he saw his daughter care so much about her image in front of others, and the boy was of the same age and in the same school.

"..."

Father Ogata looked at the door and silently picked up the rolling pin that he had been using for more than ten years.

As expected, that Hayakawa is too dangerous! Next time I see him coming to the store with my daughter, I will roll him into the dough!

……

On the street outside the store, Hayakawa was standing at the zebra crossing waiting for the traffic light, but suddenly he heard Ogata Rizu's voice calling from behind him.

"Wait a minute! Hayakawa."

Chapter 197: Girls Who Love Playing Games

"What's wrong? Ogata."

Hayakawa turned to Ogata Rizu and asked in confusion, "Did I forget to take something?"

Hayakawa glanced at the schoolbag he was holding. It was the only thing he brought to school, and it contained a lethal amount of textbooks and exercises.

"no,"

Ogata Rizu ran over, blushed slightly, bowed slightly and said, "My father was a little rude to you, Hayakawa. I'm sorry."

"Uh...it's okay."

Hayakawa was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently: "Don't mind it."

In his long life, Hayakawa has caused countless people to be jealous because of his great existence, and he has long been accustomed to facing them with pity and compassion.

"Is that so? That's good."

Ogata Rizu breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was afraid that Hayakawa would be angry because of her father's attitude. After all, Hayakawa often had a cold face, and the expression he looked at her was as if she owed him money. He really didn't seem like a gentle person.

"What did you say to my father?"

Ogata Rizu walked over to Hayakawa and waited for the traffic light with him, asking softly.

Hayakawa said calmly, "I told you about your recent study situation, your improvement in the monthly exams, and your study problems."

"Uh-huh,"

Ogata Rizu nodded seriously: "There's more."

"Also, I'll ask your father to ask you to help out less in the store in the future."

Hayakawa lowered his head and looked at Ogata's raised face: "Especially when it comes to delivering food, it's best not to let you do it."

"why?"

Ogata Rizu stared blankly.

"Why... Because it's not safe for you to go out and deliver food at night."

Hayakawa looked at Ogata Rizu's body and smiled strangely. He stretched out his hand to compare her height with his own from the top of her head, and then to his chest: "Look, you just came to me. If you walk at night, you might be kidnapped as a child?"

"Ah? Ah!"

Upon hearing this, Ogata Rizu's face instantly turned red. Her normally expressionless face was filled with shame and anger. She stamped her feet fiercely and said angrily, "Hayakawa, you said something that should never be said. Apologize to me! Otherwise, even if it's you, I will never forgive you!"

"Sorry sorry,"

Hayakawa couldn't help laughing, he reached out and touched her orange head and said, "It's just a joke, I'm mainly worried that it's unsafe for you to walk at night, and if you don't have to deliver food, you can save more time for studying, you can't put the cart before the horse."

"I've been delivering food by myself for a long time, and it's no problem at all."

There was a moment of intoxication and nostalgia in Ogata Rizu's eyes, and the next moment she broke away from Hayakawa's hand on her head and looked serious.

“Even if you’ve walked the night road safely a hundred times before, it doesn’t mean it’ll be safe the hundred and first time.”

Hayakawa tapped Ogata's forehead expressionlessly with his hand knife: "Just listen to me, otherwise I will give you extra lessons during the holidays."

"Uh~"

Ogata groaned from the blow, and the next moment he heard Hayakawa say "make-up classes during the holidays" and was shocked. He widened his eyes and asked, "How can this be?! Aren't we going to Hokkaido to eat monkfish? How did it become make-up classes?"

"Why can't I make up for my studies if I eat anglerfish?"

Hayakawa was a little dissatisfied and gave an example: "Ogata, do you watch some videos while eating?"

"Well... occasionally."

Ogata Rizu nodded blankly. She didn't understand how Hayakawa's words had anything to do with her own problem.

"Yeah, so when you eat anglerfish,"

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "You can watch online tutorial courses while eating, and then do exercises after eating to help digestion. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

"Are you the devil?"

Ogata Rizu's eyes were empty. "Who on earth would read the course content while eating?"

Hayakawa: “Me.”

Ogata Rizu: “…”

If it's you, then it's true.

Her mind flashed back to when she usually had lunch at Hayakawa Cafeteria, where she would often watch "Zhen Hao Ji" while eating. For such a person, it was not strange to eat with lecture videos.

Ogata Rizu couldn't help but fantasize in her mind that she was sitting on a fishing boat in the snow and ice of Hokkaido, watching the fishermen who had lived on the seashore for decades skillfully cut the anglerfish into pieces and then put them into the steaming pot in front of her, emitting a sweet aroma.

Open your phone, pick out your favorite video, and…

"So, students, today we are going to talk about..."

"What kind of thoughts and feelings does this passage express?"

"This paragraph needs to be memorized in its entirety, it's a required item for the college entrance examination, and this also needs to be..."

Ogata Rizu: “…”

Traveling to Hokkaido during such a holiday is a bit undesirable.

"I know…"

Ogata Rizu looked at Hayakawa in front of her and silently lowered her head and chose to surrender: "I will study hard and stay at night in the future."

"That's pretty much it."

Hayakawa smiled softly, then said: "Then I will go back first."

"Ah."

Ogata Rizu nodded: "See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

The two of them got up and returned home.

……

Hayakawa's home is just across the street from the Ogata Udon restaurant, and he can reach his own community after passing two traffic lights.
