"As a mother, of course…"
"Do you think your daughter is inferior to you?"
Hayato asked a soul-searching question.
The answer was, of course not; Sakura had always been Tsubaki's pride.
"So, children and grandchildren have their own blessings; don't overthink it," Hayato said with a smile.
"Are you saying this because you want me to let you off?" Miyajima Tsubaki looked wary.
"Please, I was here first.
It's already very kind of me to be willing to let you all off," Hayato said.
Reasonable and convincing.
"Don't add 'all'… I'm… different from you." Tsubaki stubbornly held her ground.
"Don't worry, even though that boy looks thin and weak, he's actually very manly… very strong." Hayato gave a thumbs-up.
"Filthy!" Tsubaki blurted out directly.
A lifelong good student and a former delinquent biker gang leader, even after more than ten years, still resulted in this outcome.
Tsubaki immediately pulled the bedsheet over her buzzing head, not wanting any further conversation with Aiya Yayoi.
It was too dirty, simply polluting one's own ears.
But you can shut your mouth, yet you can never shut your ears, so when Aiya Yayoi spoke, Tsubaki still heard her clearly.
"Asleep?"
"..."
"Sleep. You've worked hard today."
"..."
"I'm not that kind. I just want to go back to sleep now. If that kid hadn't told me to stay, I wouldn't be in the mood to accompany you here… Do you know why he told me to stay?"
"...?"
"First, you are a weapon after all, and I was afraid something would happen to you if no one took care of you. Second, with your personality, if he stayed, you definitely wouldn't sleep well with an extra man in the ward. Third, you went through something like this today. If I let your daughter accompany you… if you accidentally scream out some sleep talk at a time like this, it would scare your daughter senseless."
After all, she had personally killed her own older brother.
This kind of thing… although Hayato applauded her, there was definitely some psychological pressure from it.
"..."
"Wow, you must be thinking, 'I didn't expect him to be so thoughtful… He's so good to me… Favorability up up↑↑, next time I'll let him thoroughly enjoy himself' right now, aren't you?"
"...Ugh…" The first two sentences were right, as for the last sentence, Tsubaki hadn't thought of it yet… No, she wouldn't have such vulgar thoughts. "No… I wouldn't."
"He's more meticulous than you think," Hayato said.
Tsubaki froze and widened her eyes, "Meticulous?"
Hayato silently stood up.
She walked to the window, pulled back the curtain slightly, and looked at the night outside, the bright moonlight spilling onto the street.
Today was clear, no rain.
"...I meant thoughtful," Hayato said.
"..." Miyajima Tsubaki: "..."..."I… I also meant thoughtful, of course! I thought he was a careless, sloppy person, ha, ha ha ha ha…"
Awkwardly laughing, Miyajima Tsubaki secretly glanced at Hayato.
Hayato smiled sweetly, "You're so saucy."
"...Shut up!" Miyajima Tsubaki wanted to shout, but realizing that shouting in a hospital at night was a bit much, she lowered her voice after a slight sound, which resulted in her voice cracking.
"Don't worry, he's really… just bear with it," Hayato teased.
Miyajima Tsubaki pulled the blanket over herself again, truly not wanting to bother with her anymore.
Madam Tsubaki, hidden under the covers, covered her ample bosom with her hand, then squeezed her round thighs together.
Hayato also closed her eyes on the sofa chair, feeling a slight urge to smoke, but she held back due to being in the hospital.
If that kid really took in this Madam Miyajima, then she wouldn't be the oldest anymore. She could then proudly refer to herself as a "youngster."
Plan complete.
Before falling asleep, Hayato revealed a wicked smile.
Moreover, she really wanted to see what kind of broken expression such a dignified woman would show then. Hehehe…
I have to say, her shy expression just now was quite cute… For someone who is ● eighteen years old to still be like this, it's truly innocent.
...
"One glance at Ding Zhen, confirmed as wrong."
Hayato drank soup while grading Nanao Akane's homework.
Looking at the countless checkmarks on the homework book, Nanao Akane was numb—in Japan, checkmarks mean wrong.
"It's terrible," Hayato sharply commented.
He drank her soup, graded her homework, and still called her terrible!
Nanao Akane was furious. She wanted to teach Lin-chan a good lesson, to make him beg for mercy with an unbearable expression:
"Qian Jie, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, please, please spare me… Ugh… Wuwuwu…"
↑That's what she thought, but what she said was,
"Th-then you go take a shower first, I'll revise it again…"
"Send it to my phone when you're done revising," Hayato placed the empty soup bowl on the table. After thinking, he started clearing the table and washing the dishes. "You go upstairs first, I still have some things to do, I need to go home for a bit," Hayato said lightly.
It seemed that Snake Mound George's matter had been handled.
Even Miyajima Sosaku had been knocked out and his body disposed of… but there were still some unignorable matters that Hayato needed to resolve.
"Regarding Snake Mound George's subordinate A mysteriously disappearing after ambushing my home"
Hayato thought to himself that he had already chosen a candidate in his mind.
Under the moonlight, he rode his bicycle at lightning speed back to Sishouxia Chaya Station, returning to his dilapidated apartment building.
But instead of going back to "404," he directly ascended to the fifth floor.
"Clang, clang, clang," he knocked on the door three times.
Because Yukino Fuyumi had opted for a security door, Hayato's banging on the steel… ahem, the steel door was quite loud.
The owner inside did not answer.
Hayato knocked two more times.
He didn't manage to get Yukino Fuyumi to open the door; instead, Takahashi Administrator from the first floor came up.
"What are you doing?" he asked with an unpleasant expression.
Takahashi Administrator had been particularly wary and cautious of Hayato since their previous encounters, especially seeing him standing in front of Yukino Fuyumi's door now; his DNA was practically screaming.
