A public falling out... it's hardly something to come to, doesn't it? Perhaps...

Hello everyone! From now on, we're sisters. Let's get along well and build a friendly family!

Natsukawa Masaki quickly shook her head, trying to forget the embarrassing possibility.

"Um…"

Fumino Furuhashi became a little nervous upon seeing Masuzu Natsukawa, stammering for a long time before finally saying, "Um... can we go in?"

"Oh...please come in."

Natsukawa Masaki also felt inexplicably nervous and opened the doorway.

Whether in her previous school or her current school, she was used to being fawned over by boys and hated by girls, so she was very good at dealing with isolation and bullying. You could even say that she was isolating others. On the contrary, she found it very difficult to deal with a friendly person like Fumino Furuhashi.

The silver-haired girl left with slightly unsteady steps, and Fumino Furuhashi breathed a sigh of relief. Ogata Ritsu, standing beside her, stared at Natsukawa Masuzu with a strange look in her eyes until her figure completely disappeared, then she frowned slightly and lowered her head to think.

"Fumino."

After pondering for a long time, the science-loving girl finally came to a conclusion and called out to Fumino Furuhashi.

"What's wrong, Ri-chan?"

Fumino Furuhashi looked down.

"That Natsukawa Masashige, she was just alone with Hayakawa in the infirmary..."

Ogata Rizu's eyes gleamed with intelligence: "Are you doing something?"

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

How am I supposed to answer that?

"No, Hayakawa-san wouldn't do that."

Fumino Furuhashi gave Ogata a disapproving look, then pushed open the door and entered the infirmary.

Although Hayakawa is indeed a hopeless, typical high school student with a lot of his brain devoted to his lower body, Furuhashi believes he won't... at least not at school!

After all, the school held a sacred aura in his eyes.

"Come in, Ri-chan."

The two entered the infirmary and, upon seeing Hayakawa, said, "Hayakawa, we've come to see you."

"You are here."

Hayakawa's expression darkened upon seeing the two of them, and he muttered to himself, "You shouldn't have come."

"Let's go..."

Gu Qiao subconsciously replied with half a sentence, but the next second he realized what was going on and said in an annoyed tone, "Stop being silly, okay?"

She looked at the bandage wrapped around Hayakawa's knee and said with some surprise, "It's well wrapped. Did you wrap it yourself?"

Hayakawa shook her head: "No, Yotsuba tied me up. I couldn't have done it myself."

"Oh, I just heard from a classmate that Yotsuba carried you to the infirmary. It seems you must have fallen quite hard," Furuhashi said with some concern. "Are you alright? Do you want to go back and rest?"

"Ah."

Hayakawa didn't hide anything and nodded directly: "It's not convenient to study, so I plan to take two days off. If there are no problems tomorrow, I will come to school; if not, I will rest for another day."

The fact that Hayakawa had to take leave means the fall must have been quite serious.

A hint of heartache appeared in Fumino Furuhashi's eyes, but she still comforted her, "Okay, I'll take you to the school gate later and then ask the teacher for a leave slip for you."

"Thank you, you've been a great help." Hayakawa smiled at her and reassured her, "Don't worry, you'll be fine after a rest."

Fumino Furuhashi nodded and then said, "If you need any help from us, just send us a message."

"understood."

As soon as Hayakawa finished speaking, Ogata Rizu stood on tiptoe and asked, "Hayakawa, how did you get hurt?"

"Let me tell you, just now..."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa recounted how he had seen Yotsuba fall down the stairs, rushed to save her, and bumped his leg in the process.

"So that's it."

Fumino Furuhashi and Riju Ogata exchanged a glance, then said somewhat helplessly, "If it's Yotsuba, there's nothing we can do. She definitely did it unintentionally. Hayakawa, you're right to help her."

Hayakawa thought that even if it were her, they would all complain, but when it was Yotsuba, they all agreed. Why was there such a discrepancy? Was it just because she was helpful?

I should have helped you more.

After exchanging pleasantries, Fumino Furuhashi and Osamu helped the limping Hayakawa to the security guard's rest room at the school gate, and then went to ask the teacher for a sick leave certificate.

Chapter 403 Internet Addict Girl

During the process of requesting leave, the privileges of top students were unintentionally revealed. When the teacher heard that it was Hayakawa who was injured, and saw that the two top students in the arts and sciences who came to request leave were famous throughout the school, he approved the leave without asking any questions and sent the student out directly.

Not long after, Hayakawa stood at the school gate with a sick leave note. Under the watchful eyes of Fumino Furuhashi and Riju Ogata, he got into a taxi and began his first sick leave.

……

Japanese taxis are expensive but offer excellent service, so even if you make small requests to the driver that have nothing to do with driving, they won't refuse as long as they're not too unreasonable, since they're afraid of getting complaints.

For example, helping an injured person onto the elevator.

"call…"

Hayakawa was helped onto the elevator by the driver, and turned back to thank him, saying, "Thank you for your help."

"It's alright, guest."

The driver gave a friendly smile, then revealed his true intentions: "Please give me a good review."

"……I see."

The elevator doors closed, and soon we arrived at Hayakawa's floor.

Hayakawa stepped out of the elevator and, supporting himself against the wall, walked step by step toward his apartment door. Although his knees still hurt terribly, these were the few steps he could manage.

As he passed his neighbor's house, Hayakawa paused for a moment, but continued walking.

If Umaru were home at this time, I could ask her to take care of me, and she should still be home by now.

I've been so tolerant and caring towards her all this time, even lending her my computer to play games, yet when I need her, she's nowhere to be found! That's the coldness of human relationships.

Hayakawa walked past the neighbor with a cold expression, reached his own front door, took out his key to open his own door, but his neighbor's door suddenly opened.

"squeak"

The door opened, and Umaru, dressed in a hamster costume, came out looking tired, yawning as she carried a plastic bag full of empty large Coke bottles, as if she was going to take out the trash in her outfit.

"Eh? Hayakawa?"

Umaru, whose eyes were barely open before, widened her eyes upon seeing Hayakawa, exclaiming in shock, "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at school?"

"That's the question I should ask,"

Hayakawa stood there expressionless and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Ah, this..."

Doma Umaru's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. Then, she suddenly coughed twice in a mock manner, her face slightly flushed, and said, "Cough cough cough, I'm not feeling well today. I took my temperature and it seems I have a fever, so I asked the school for leave."

Having a fever, why did you go downstairs to throw out the trash in your pajamas on a winter morning?

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa looked Umaru up and down and felt that this energetic and vibrant girl was indeed an outstanding girl who excelled in both sports and academics. Even with the most worried eyes, he could only see that she was tired and could not see any signs of illness.

"Oh, oh, I see."

Hayakawa nodded repeatedly, then casually pulled out her phone: "Hello, is this Kawaguchi-sensei from Class 1-C? This is Hayakawa from Class 1-B. Is Doma from Class 1-C absent today? I just saw her; she wasn't there at all..."

What are you trying to do?!

Doma, her face flushed, snatched the phone from Hayakawa's hand, only to find that he hadn't made a call at all. She was stunned. Just as she was in a daze, Hayakawa took the opportunity to place his hand on her forehead and feel her temperature.

"It's not hot at all, you're perfectly healthy."

Hayakawa withdrew his hand from Umaru's flushed forehead, then calmly asked, "Why did you ask for leave?"

"Well... well, there's a very complicated reason."

Doma tried to evade the question, seemingly still wanting to struggle, but upon seeing Hayakawa's indifferent expression, he ultimately gave up: "I played games all night last night, and I really couldn't get up this morning..."

"..."

Hayakawa remained silent for a long time, his gaze towards the girl gradually turning into one of utter disgust.

How could there be such a wicked person in this world who would lie to his teacher and say he was sick just to avoid going to school? Hayakawa simply couldn't believe it.

"I'm going to tell your class teacher about this."

Hayakawa said expressionlessly.

"Don't do things that cause pain to loved ones and hatred to enemies... or anything like that."

Umaru said something first, but seeing Hayakawa's merciless expression, her tone changed and she said, "Go ahead, anyway, the teacher won't believe you, and even if she did, she wouldn't be angry with me."

Damn it... she actually used the treatment that only top students get, what a hypocritical woman.

Seeing Umaru's smug expression, Hayakawa hesitated for a moment before saying, "If it's not okay, teacher, I'll wait for your brother to come back and tell him."

Upon hearing this, Xiaomai's previously confident expression subtly changed. After several shifts in tone, she said, "Don't be like this, okay? We're friends, aren't we? How can you help outsiders cause me trouble?"

After she finished speaking, her eyes became weak and pitiful, as if she had been bullied.

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa wanted to persuade Umaru to study hard and not slack off, but when he thought about how this person seemed to have better grades than him, he realized that he not only had no right to persuade her, but if he really tried to persuade her, she would just say "Your grades are not as good as mine" and he would become a clown. So he kept a dark face and didn't say anything.

"Alright, alright, you're back just in time,"

Doma's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly grabbed Hayakawa's arm enthusiastically, pulling him into the house: "No one's home, come and be a guest."

"Eh,"

Hayakawa was bewildered and wanted to refuse, but because of his leg injury, he dared not exert any force. He could only be half-pulled and half-pushed into the house by Umaru, and could only say, "Weren't you going downstairs to throw out the trash? Go ahead."

"No rush, I'll take out the trash this afternoon."

Umaru casually revealed her procrastination problem with a single sentence, and then slammed the door shut.

Umaru placed the trash where it had been by the door, then changed her previous action of pulling Hayakawa's arm to supporting him, saying worriedly, "Hayakawa, are you hurting your leg? You seem to be walking a little unnaturally..."

"Ah."

Hayakawa said succinctly, "I accidentally fell at school, so I asked for leave to come back and rest."

"This... must be very serious."

Upon hearing this, Umaru pursed her lips slightly, looked towards Hayakawa's knee where his gait was off, reached out as if to touch it, but then withdrew her hand and whispered, "Can I take a look?"

"No need, it's nothing."

Hayakawa shook his head and comforted him, "It was just a fall, you'll be fine tomorrow."

Umaru knew that getting Hayakawa to take leave couldn't be as simple as he made it out to be, but since Hayakawa didn't want to talk about it, there was nothing she could do. She could only get up and get him a disposable paper cup.

"Since you don't drink cola, I'll make you tea instead."

Umaru brought over a pot of tea and placed it on the low table, then poured Hayakawa a cup of hot water: "Have some water first."

"It's troublesome."

Hayakawa took the water glass: "Thank you."

Chapter 404 Playing Games with Umaru

Seeing that Hayakawa had finished drinking his water, Umaru asked curiously, "What happened to your leg? Did you fall during PE class?"

"No."

Hayakawa didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he casually replied, "I tripped on the stairs, went to the infirmary to get my wound treated, and since I felt I couldn't study, I went straight home."

"That's it."

Umaru nodded, her gaze drifting towards her snacks. She wanted to share her food with Hayakawa, but she was also a little reluctant.

"And you, how did you manage to keep it from your brother?"

Hayakawa put down her paper cup and asked, "I remember your brother is home every morning, right? You'll have to get past her first if you want to take a day off."

"this…"
