Ichika, too shy to speak loudly, whispered in Hayakawa's ear, using the position of being carried on his back, "Put me down..."
Hayakawa casually put her down, without taking the opportunity to ask her what she had just heard. Instead, he went straight to the door, took the key, and prepared to open the door.
"Are you alright, Ichika?"
The understanding Yotsuba didn't press the matter now, but instead watched her older sister with concern, her face full of worry.
"fine."
Ichika shook her head vigorously. What had just happened was too terrible, and she didn't want to talk about it anymore, fearing she would have nightmares tonight.
Upon arriving at room 302, Hayakawa opened the door without hesitation. What came into view was a simple yet elegant room. Although at first glance it looked no different from an ordinary hotel room, a closer look revealed many differences in the details. For example, the air conditioning was of a higher quality, the mattress was softer, and everything else seemed more upscale. It seemed to be a room prepared for the hotel owner, and it was indeed much better than the rooms for ordinary guests.
"It looks pretty good."
Hayakawa glanced at them and nodded silently.
He doesn't have many requirements for a room to live in, as long as it's not cold, not dirty or messy, and not noisy. The room looks pretty good now, so that's even better.
When Ichika entered the room, she breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the spacious and bright environment, and felt even more secure.
But the next moment, as if she had suddenly thought of something, her gaze sharpened, and she realized a big problem.
Oh dear, isn't there only one room? Does that mean Yotsuba and Hayakawa will have to spend the night in the same room?
Why? Why did things suddenly turn out like this, and what's most unusual is...
Why didn't I notice this anomaly from beginning to end? Normally, when I knew I was going to spend the night with Hayakawa, I would have realized it instantly.
It's one thing for myself, but it seems even Yotsuba hasn't noticed...
Ichika couldn't help but glance at Yotsuba beside her. The little girl was still staring blankly at the ceiling and beautiful interior of the hotel room, clearly unaware of the terrible future.
That's so strange...
Yi Hua frowned slightly and began to think. Before long, she suddenly realized the truth.
After entering the hotel, I was indeed still considering booking three rooms to get away from Hayakawa. However, when I arrived, I was told that there were no rooms available, let alone three. My focus instantly shifted from "shame" to worry and guilt. I was afraid that I would have nowhere to stay that night. In the end, I was only able to get a room thanks to Hayakawa's money. I was so happy that I had no time to think about anything else.
"..."
After thinking it through, Ichika instantly understood and realized the truth of the world.
Humans are creatures of compromise. If you say you want to spend the night with a guy, you'll naturally be a million times unwilling; but if you say there aren't any rooms available and you don't care if you stay or not, then someone will compromise and agree to stay with the guy.
That's the situation now. Hayakawa paid extra to get a room, so what right does he have to complain? He can't exactly go back and give the receptionist some more money to get her to give him another room, can he? That's definitely not going to happen.
"Ugh…"
Ichika sighed softly.
It looks like this is how we'll have to spend the night, but thankfully there's a sofa in the room, which should be enough for three people to sleep in.
The girl looked worried, but for some reason her face flushed slightly and felt inexplicably hot; her true feelings were not as dissatisfied as her expression suggested.
"The room looks nice,"
Yotsuba said with a big smile, "Great! I have a place to stay tonight. I was so worried about what to do."
"Yes, it's really good."
Hayakawa nodded calmly, then directly raised the question: "So now there's a problem, which is that there's only one bed, how are the three of us going to sleep?"
"..."
Yotsuba's expression froze instantly, and she stood rooted to the spot as if petrified.
Ichika immediately covered her face, unable to bear to look.
Hayakawa-kun, you're being way too direct! Yotsuba clearly hasn't even realized what's going on yet, and you've already thrown the question at her like that. How is she supposed to accept that?
"Ahhh... Aba aba"
Yotsuba let out a dazed sound. Seeing this, Ichika stepped forward and changed the subject with a smile, saying, "Well, anyway, let's not think about the bed for now. Our clothes are soaked from being out in the rain, we should change them now..."
Halfway through her sentence, Ichika's words caught in her throat, and her already flushed face turned even redder.
Changing clothes? Not to mention there are no clothes to change into right now, what's the difference between bringing up this topic in front of a guy and talking about that bed earlier?
"We don't have any clothes..."
Yotsuba, standing nearby, timidly brought the current problem to the forefront.
Chapter 458 What to do when you have no clothes to wear
Don't be so direct, Yotsuba-chan! It's so embarrassing!
Upon hearing this, Ichika, who was standing next to her, gritted her teeth, feeling a tingling, itchy sensation on her scalp.
Hayakawa entered the bathroom, quickly pulled a piece of clothing from the closet, and said expressionlessly, "This is all I have."
It was a bathrobe.
"This... won't do."
Ichika blushed after just one glance and quickly shook her head, saying, "Neither Yotsuba nor I can wear this, and Hayakawa, you... it's best not to wear it either."
The bathrobe had a huge slit at the collar, so that even with the waist tightened, the entire chest area was exposed. In addition, there was no hem, so both legs were also completely exposed.
If Ichika and Yotsuba wore these clothes, it would be a deliberate attempt to seduce them; they might as well not wear them at all.
As for Hayakawa, although it's normal for a boy to wear such clothes, Ichika blushed inexplicably at the thought of Hayakawa wearing a bathrobe with his chest half-exposed, so she simply refused.
"Then there will be no clothes left."
Seeing this, Hayakawa tossed his bathrobe onto the sofa without thinking, shrugging helplessly.
"I, I, I..."
Seeing that the two looked troubled, Yotsuba quickly stood up and volunteered, "I'll go down and ask that lady for some clothes."
After saying that, she prepared
"Don't go to Clover."
Seeing this, Hayakawa immediately reached out to stop her, saying, "Everyone is soaked by now, and there will definitely be a lot of guests asking her for clothes from the hotel. If you go down there, there won't be any left."
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba only needed a moment's thought to realize that Hayakawa was right. Reluctantly, she stopped and whispered, "What should we do then..."
"It's okay, I'll go over there."
Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "I can persuade him."
Yotsuba's expression froze instantly. At that moment, she seemed to hear the sound of an ATM or gold coins, a sound that stirred her heart.
The kind of persuasion you're talking about... is definitely not the kind of persuasion you're thinking of!
"I'm going."
Hayakawa remained unmoved and went straight downstairs.
"Wait a moment…"
When Ichika saw Hayakawa about to go downstairs, she immediately remembered the strange noise she had heard in the stairwell earlier and instinctively called out to him.
"what happened?"
Hayakawa turned around, looking puzzled, and asked, "Is there anything else I need to tell that person?"
"No...nothing."
Ichika hesitated, then gently shook her head. She knew that even if she told Hayakawa, he would never believe her; he would just think she was hallucinating.
There shouldn't be any problem. Hayakawa is such a yang-abundant man, even if there are unclean things around him, it won't affect him.
"..."
As Ichika watched Hayakawa's departing figure, she comforted herself.
"Ichika."
Yotsuba's voice rang out from the side.
"Ok?"
Ichika turned around to look at her.
"Let's air out the three of our schoolbags, including the textbooks and such."
Yotsuba suggested that the three of them, carrying their schoolbags, had come in from outside and were not only soaked, but their schoolbags were also almost completely wet, and even the textbooks inside were ruined. They needed to be placed on the radiator to dry.
"that's true."
Ichika had no objection, so the two girls decided to carry the three of their schoolbags to the heater to air out the books.
"I'm so lucky, there's a day off for classes tomorrow."
Yotsuba placed her soaked textbooks and notes on the radiator to dry, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, with all the textbooks and books wet, I won't be able to do my homework today."
"that's true."
Ichika went to get Hayakawa's schoolbag, but when she lifted it, its weight almost made her fall to the ground: "It's so heavy!"
Hayakawa's schoolbag was already the fullest in the whole school, and now that it was soaked by the rain, it became even heavier, almost like carrying a bag of bricks, so Ichika naturally couldn't lift it.
"What's inside? Why is it so heavy?"
Ichika laboriously dragged Hayakawa's schoolbag to the radiator, and as soon as she put it down, she started complaining breathlessly.
"Ah ha ha…"
Yotsuba smiled somewhat awkwardly: "They're probably all textbooks."
"Where would our school get so many textbooks?"
Yihua didn't believe it and kept complaining, "Even a sack of sand isn't that heavy."
As she spoke, she reached out and unzipped her schoolbag, revealing several different textbooks and various colorful exercise books.
"..."
These are all textbooks and books related to learning! That's terrifying! It's practically textbook hell.
"Does he carry all these things to and from school every day?"
As Ichika placed the books one by one on the radiator, she remarked with a sigh, "It's really not easy."
“Of course,” Yotsuba said, feeling inexplicably proud for some reason. She raised her chin and puffed out her chest. “That’s why he gets such good grades. All his efforts have been worthwhile.”
"That's absolutely true."
Ichika nodded gently and calmly helped Hayakawa hang up her textbooks.
Hayakawa had so many textbooks, and many of them were wet, that the radiator, which was less than two meters long, wasn't long enough to hold them all. So Ichika and Yotsuba had to discuss putting some of the textbooks on the floor under the radiator, or simply stuffing them inside the radiator itself.
It can also borrow a lot of warmth.
Hayakawa's textbook was finally put down, and Yotsuba's textbook was also put down. It was finally Ichika's turn.
Yotsuba took Ichika's schoolbag and was about to open it when Ichika stopped her.
"Ah, Yotsuba, I don't need mine."
Yihua quickly stopped Siye, her pretty face slightly flushed, and said nonchalantly, "I don't have many books, so they shouldn't be wet. I can just air them out in my bag."
"Don't say that,"
Yotsuba smiled brightly: "Even if it's a little wet, you have to let it dry, otherwise the textbook will get wrinkled."
After saying that, she opened her schoolbag.
"Ah, Yotsuba, goodbye..."
Ichika tried to stop her, but it was too late; Yotsuba had already seen what was in the bag.
Aside from the pen and notebook, there were only two books.
Upon taking them out, I found a Chinese book and a math book.
"Huh? Only two books?"
Yotsuba stared blankly at the two textbooks in her hands, turning her head repeatedly to look at Ichika: "Ichika, you only bring two books to school?"
"..."
Ichika remained silent at first, then tapped her head and gave a cute smile: "Hehe."
"..."
