Tokyo: Restricted Tutor

"Hello everyone, today I'd like to introduce a friend to you all."

Inside the restaurant.

As everyone settled into their seats, looking at Tanaka Taihe with puzzled eyes, Hojo Sakirei stood up and began introducing him.

"This is Tanaka Taihe, he's my neighbor, and he just transferred to our Sakuragi High School from another school. From now on, we'll all be classmates. This is Tanaka Taihe's first time at our school, and he probably doesn't have many friends right now, so I hope everyone can look out for him in the future."

After introducing Tanaka Taihe, Hojo Sakirei then introduced the others to Tanaka Taihe.

After the round of introductions, everyone got along very well.

After the meal, Tanaka Taihe had gotten to know everyone pretty well, and they all returned to school.

For the rest of the afternoon, Hojo Sakirei didn't pay attention in class at all, and after school, he went straight back to his apartment.

However, as soon as he got home, he received a call from Tomoda Minako.

"Sakirei-kun, what are you up to?"

As soon as the call connected, Tomoda Minako on the other end asked.

Hearing that seductive voice, Hojo Sakirei almost couldn't help himself at first.

Truly, this woman was too provocative.

And it was obvious that she was intentionally using that tone when talking to Hojo Sakirei.

"As a student, of course I'm home resting after school, what else would I be doing?"

"On the other hand, Minako-oneesan, do you not want to get out of bed? You actually dare to talk to me with that tone?"

Hojo Sakirei replied to Tomoda Minako, and then casually asked.

After saying that, he could clearly sense that Tomoda Minako on the other end of the phone seemed to even have her breathing quicken slightly.

Instantly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, while he also thought to himself, "Heh heh, want to fight with me? Minako-oneesan, you're really too naive."

Sure enough, just as Hojo Sakirei was still thinking about this, he heard Tomoda Minako on the other end of the phone quickly say, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with me? Is this tone wrong?"

"I just wanted to remind Sakirei-kun about something. If you have time these next few days, get some good exercise, lest there be some sudden event that you can't handle in time."

"Sudden event?" Hearing Tomoda Minako's words, Hojo Sakirei was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that the reason Tomoda Minako said that was, wasn't it because she had really signed him up?

Thinking of this, although Hojo Sakirei had already anticipated it, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Minako-oneesan, I advise you not to play with fire, otherwise, I definitely won't go easy on you next time."

Hojo Sakirei had no interest in things like sports festivals. Although he had already guessed that Tomoda Minako might have really signed him up, he really didn't want to participate in the sports festival at all.

"Oh, I didn't expect Sakirei-kun to be so smart. I hadn't even said anything yet, and you actually guessed it."

Obviously, Tomoda Minako on the other end of the phone was also very surprised that Hojo Sakirei could guess that she had signed him up.

But after being surprised, she said again, "However, Sakirei-kun, you're wrong about what you said. What do you mean I'm playing with fire? Was I playing with fire the previous times? I just saw that Sakirei-kun had too much energy, so I just thought about helping Sakirei-kun calm down a bit."

"After all, if this continues, Sakirei-kun might really play me to death."

After speaking, Tomoda Minako didn't say anything more.

As for Hojo Sakirei, hearing that Tomoda Minako actually dared to talk to him in that tone, and even without any hint of fear, he couldn't help but frown.

"Tell me, how many sports did you sign me up for?"

Although he was a little surprised that Tomoda Minako dared to talk to him like that, what Hojo Sakirei was most worried about now were the events Tomoda Minako had signed him up for, so he asked directly.

"Not too many, just five events. This amount of exercise shouldn't be a big deal for Sakirei-kun, right?"

"Five? Why don't you just kill me?!"

Hearing Tomoda Minako say that she had actually signed him up for five events, Hojo Sakirei was directly shocked.

He had guessed that Tomoda Minako would sign him up for something, but he hadn't expected her to be so ruthless as to sign him up for five events directly.

Isn't that a bit too much?

"It's only five, Sakirei-kun, aren't you going to help me out?"

From the phone, Tomoda Minako could also tell that Hojo Sakirei seemed a little angry, so she quickly changed her tone and spoke to Hojo Sakirei sweetly and softly.

"No, no, no, so many people in our class have already signed up, are you sure you're missing my five spots?"

"Minako-oneesan, when it comes down to it, you can't blame me for those things. Although I'm uniquely gifted in a certain area, that's just how I was born, I'm not intentionally torturing you. What's with you stabbing me in the back like this?"

"Could it be that I'm just that hated by you, oneesan?"

Hojo Sakirei asked the doubts in his heart in one breath.

Tomoda Minako on the other end of the phone, after hearing Hojo Sakirei say these words, her expression also became a little abnormal.

At this moment, she also felt that she seemed to have gone a bit too far.

After all, that was five sports events.

If she had only signed Hojo Sakirei up for one or two events, Hojo Sakirei wouldn't have talked to her like this.

Sensing that Hojo Sakirei might be a little angry, she also became a little flustered.

Although doing this could reduce some of Hojo Sakirei's energy.

But what about after the sports festival is over?

Thinking of Hojo Sakirei's stamina that lasted for several hours, while she was exhausted like a mud doll, and he was still fine as if nothing had happened, Tomoda Minako was also a little flustered at this moment.

"Um... Sakirei-kun, I didn't intentionally help you sign up for so many."

"It's just... it's just those classmates in our class, do you think they can really win honor for our class?"

Speaking of this, Tomoda Minako was a little hesitant to continue.

After all, although the situation was really no different from what she said, those people in their class might not necessarily be able to win championships.

But for the sake of the class winning honor, she signed Hojo Sakirei up for so many events, which was also a bit excessive.

"Sakirei-kun, I'm sorry. If you think I went too far, I can apply to withdraw your registration."

Not hearing Hojo Sakirei's response, Tomoda Minako was truly a little flustered at this moment and continued to speak.

"Forget it, since I'm already signed up, then I'm signed up."

"What events did you sign me up for?"

Regarding the fact that Tomoda Minako signed him up for so many events, Hojo Sakirei was indeed a little angry.

However, thinking of Tomoda Minako on the other end of the phone who sounded a little wronged, and thinking of the classmates in his class who might not necessarily win championships, he also knew that Tomoda Minako was doing all of this for the sake of the class.

As a homeroom teacher, what did she do wrong by thinking for her class?

The most important thing was, she was still his person.

Thinking of this, Hojo Sakirei didn't want to argue with her about it anymore.

"Forget it, no matter what I'm signed up for, it's not a big deal to me."

Without waiting for Tomoda Minako's reply, Hojo Sakirei shook his head again and then said.

"Sakirei-kun, I'm really sorry, I won't make decisions on my own like this again next time."

Tomoda Minako on the other end of the phone continued to apologize.

Meanwhile, while Hojo Sakirei was still talking to Tomoda Minako about this matter.

Tanaka Taihe, who had just returned home from school, threw his school bag onto his desk and then went downstairs without hesitation to start exercising.

"In this sports festival, I must shine brightly and let Shiratori Raku-san see my strengths."

"Shiratori Raku-san is mine, so in this sports festival, I must win at least one championship!"

While thinking this to himself, Tanaka Taihe began practicing running.

And at this moment.

In a certain large apartment building in Tokyo.

Haruta Haruto had just returned home from school when he saw Haruta Sanjiro sitting on the sofa with a dejected look on his face, and he couldn't help but frown.

"Dad, what's wrong?"

Haruta Haruto asked.

He was a little confused about what was wrong with Haruta Sanjiro. Only one day had passed, but he looked as if he had aged more than ten years.

Although Haruta Sanjiro was indeed injured a few days ago, his injuries were already healed now. And this morning before he went to school, Haruta Sanjiro had said he was going to school.

But as soon as he returned home from school, he saw him looking dejected. How could this not make Haruta Haruto worried?

"It's nothing."

Facing his son's question, Haruta Sanjiro did not tell him the reason.

After all, even if he told him about this matter, he wouldn't be able to help him with anything, and it would only add to the trouble in the end.

"Okay."

Hearing Haruta Sanjiro answer him like this, Haruta Haruto knew that he didn't want to talk about it.

Since he didn't want to talk about it, Haruta Haruto knew that asking further would be pointless.

He turned to go back to his room, but then he saw the folder placed on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Haruta Haruto's brow furrowed even more deeply.

"Dad, you didn't lose your job, did you?"

Haruta Haruto asked with some concern.

After all, if Haruta Sanjiro lost his job, it would definitely be a significant blow to him.

His gaze was fixed on Haruta Sanjiro, as if he wanted to see something on his face.

But he saw Haruta Sanjiro shake his head.

"It's impossible to lose my job, but this is pretty much the same as losing my job."

Sighing, Haruta Sanjiro fell silent again.

However, after noticing that Haruta Haruto was still looking at him, he could only shake his head and say, "During the time I was hospitalized, the school dismissed me from my position as grade head."

"What? How could they do that?"

"Dad, is this true? You were really dismissed as grade head?"

Haruta Haruto asked Haruta Sanjiro with a shocked expression, as this was something he simply couldn't imagine.

You know, Haruta Sanjiro had been the grade head at Sakuragi High School for many years.

In this situation, even if he hadn't made any significant contributions to the school, the school shouldn't have dismissed him from his position.

However, since these words came from Haruta Sanjiro's mouth, they wouldn't be false.

"Of course it's true, do you think I'd lie to you?"

"Also, I went to see the principal today, and he told me to rest at home for the time being."

Speaking of this, Haruta Sanjiro's brow furrowed even more deeply.

"Forget it, you wouldn't understand if I told you. Perhaps in your eyes, I just lost a position as grade head, but there are some things you don't know."

"Go back to your room and do your homework for now, I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Haruta Sanjiro wanted to find someone to talk to, but looking at Haruta Haruto, what did a child his age understand?

Beep beep beep!

Just as Haruta Haruto had just turned to go back to his room, Haruta Sanjiro's phone rang at this moment.

Picking up his phone, when he saw the number of the incoming call, his brow furrowed even more deeply.

"Hello."

Although he had already vaguely guessed in his heart that this call was deliberately meant to scold him, he still decisively answered it.

"Haruta Sanjiro, what's going on with you? Can't you even hold onto a position as grade head?"

"You should know how much effort the organization put into cultivating you, and now you can't even hold onto a position as grade head?"

"You don't need to say too much about this matter, the organization doesn't need someone as foolish as you!"

"I'm giving you another chance now. How is the investigation you were asked to do last time coming along?"

Haruta Sanjiro had just picked up the phone when the person on the other end started scolding him severely.

Finally, they even asked him about the matter they had asked him to handle before.

When he heard the other party ask about this matter, Haruta Sanjiro's expression became even more unpleasant again.

"Sir, regarding this matter, I already have some leads now. In about some more time, I will be able to give the organization an answer."

Although the other party's tone was harsh, Haruta Sanjiro didn't dare to talk back at all and could only say with assurance at this moment.

"Alright, then I'll give you another chance. Within ten days, you must find that person, otherwise, you should know yourself how the organization will treat you!"

After speaking, the person on the other end of the phone didn't give Haruta Sanjiro a chance to speak and directly hung up the phone.

"Ten days? Do you really think I'm a god?"

"Forget it, anyway, by then I'll just report a random name."

Haruta Sanjiro had no confidence in his own abilities at all.

Finding someone from the Yamaguchi-gumi was really too difficult for him.

And during this time, he had already done his best to do that thing.

But until now, there was still no clue at all.

"Wait, could that person be that woman, Tomoda Minako?"
