"Huh? Is Ri-chan's udon shop going to set up a stall there too?"

Upon hearing this, Fumino Furuhashi was taken aback and said, "So you're going to go help too? Then we can't play."

"I'll just talk to my father; he wasn't planning on me coming to help anyway,"

Without hesitation, Rizu Ogata replied, "If you're particularly busy, you can help deliver a few takeout orders and stroll around the temple fair while you're at it. If you're not busy, then there's nothing for me to do, and I can easily refuse."

"That's good, that's good."

Fumino Furuhashi smiled: "If you need help, I can go with Ri-chan to deliver it."

Rizu Ogata smiled: "I understand!"

Hayakawa laughed: What are these two talking about?

"Neither of you are allowed to go anywhere. Stay here and study."

Hayakawa said, "Then go straight home after school to continue studying."

"Hayakawa... you can't force me to stay here,"

Upon hearing this, Rizu Ogata panicked and stammered, "I have my own free time after school. You can't restrict me. That's a crime, that's illegal detention!"

"Oh."

Hayakawa looked at her with his arms crossed, his face full of indifference.

Fumino Furuhashi looked helpless. She had known this situation for a long time. The probability of getting this man to agree to go to the temple fair was too low. Even if she tried to persuade him, she would probably be rejected eight times out of ten.

"Hayakawa-kun, how long have we been studying lately? We haven't had a single moment to relax since the last monthly exam. Even putting aside the idea that a balance between work and rest leads to higher efficiency, we haven't even had a proper rest after studying. I personally think this is..."

Fumino Furuhashi straightened up and began to argue earnestly, "Besides, this fireworks display only happens once a year. That means if we miss it tonight, we won't have another chance to go out like this for the rest of the year. So... in conclusion, I think we should go together."

Hayakawa remained unmoved, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Once a year? I remember this year's national centralized exam was also once a year, but I didn't see you taking it to heart.

Well, I've kept it firmly in mind, after all, it will be the beginning of another great journey for me.

Please…

Rizu Ogata looked aggrieved, put her hands together in front of her in a pleading gesture, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "My house is right on the food street. Hayakawa, are you really going to make me study alone in the house while watching the joyful scene of fireworks outside the window? That's too cruel. Besides, my family might ask me to help them out, and I'll have to go out with them. I definitely won't be able to resist the temptation."

Hayakawa remained unmoved: "Didn't you just say you didn't need help and could refuse?"

Ogata Rizu stopped talking, but puffed out her cheeks and stared at Hayakawa.

Seeing this, Hayakawa also stared at Ogata Riju with wide eyes. The two stared at each other for a while, and Ogata Riju couldn't resist anymore, blushing and looking away.

Won!

Hayakawa withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, a smug smile playing on his lips.

Rest assured, my people, this is just a small, insignificant victory. More glorious and magnificent victories, worthy of celebration, await us.

"Hayakawa!"

Seeing that Hayakawa was unmoved by either persuasion or coercion, Fumino Furuhashi became anxious and grabbed his arm, shaking it forcefully twice: "Say yes!"

Hayakawa's eyes were a little blurry from the light, and his head was making a hollow "clanging" sound. He said expressionlessly, "Please keep quiet in the library."

"..."

Fumino Furuhashi lowered her hand helplessly, and Riju Ogata immediately followed suit. She covered her face with a distressed expression and said softly, "Actually... I've been having some troubles lately, which has been making me feel a bit down. If I can't have some fun at the temple fair tonight, my study efficiency will definitely drop."

"Oh?"

Seeing that Ogata Rizu's expression didn't seem fake, Hayakawa frowned slightly and asked, "What is it?"

"Um…"

Ogata Rizu hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing her words before saying, "Actually, it's..."

……

"Rizu Ogata, your dress looks like it's torn."

"Oh, really... Thank you... classmate."

Ogata Rizu looked at the pleated skirt with some distress and muttered, "What should I do? Should I ask for leave and go home...?"

"Are you troubled, Rizu Ogata?"

Upon seeing this, the student immediately patted his chest vigorously: "Then come with me, everything will be alright as long as I'm here!"

"Go with you? Why?"

Rizu Ogata looked at the person in front of her with some confusion.

The student smiled confidently: "Because I always carry a skirt that fits your size perfectly with me!"

Rizu Ogata: "..."

.........

"Isn't this hentai?"

Fumino Furuhashi's vision went black, and her face turned pale with fright: "You're a stalker, aren't you? Ri-chan, did you tell the teacher?"

Rizu Ogata said, "No, I went with her."

"Gah?"

Fumino Furuhashi made a sound like a duck being choked, and looked at Hayakawa for help.

Hayakawa remained calm. Unlike Furuhashi, he was already well-informed and experienced. He simply looked at Ogata and said indifferently, "Continue."

"Later, she took me to change into a dress, and I was able to accept it then, and even quite grateful to her..."

Rizu Ogata suddenly covered her head, her face slightly pale, and said, "Then she suddenly pulled out a pair of panties that she said were the right size for me and suggested that I change them. After I refused, she took advantage of my inattention and put my skirt over her head... I really can't accept this kind of thing."

"Call the police."

Hayakawa took out his phone from his bag and silently started pressing buttons.

Chapter Ninety-Three: Getting Used to Loneliness

"Mmmmmmm!"

Upon hearing that Hayakawa was going to call the police, Fumino Furuhashi nodded hurriedly, unconsciously grabbing Hayakawa's sleeve with both hands, and said with wide eyes, "Call the police! Right now!"

Hayakawa, of course, did not hesitate; he would not allow anyone to pollute the pure land where he studied.

"Wait,"

At this moment, it was Ogata Rizu who reached out to stop them, saying, "Don't call the police yet."

"..."

Hayakawa glanced at Ogata Risu and asked, "Why?"

Rizu Ogata thought for a moment and hesitated before saying, "Although that person seems strange, she doesn't mean any harm in my protagonist's eyes."

"Ok."

Hayakawa frowned slightly, but still put his phone away and scratched his head, saying, "Seriously, does our school really have people like that? That's so strange... Could it be someone from outside the school who bought a school uniform and sneaked in?"

Ogata Rizu pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "It shouldn't be. I remember that girl; she's a classmate of mine, but I just don't remember her name."

How exactly are "a classmate of ours" and "I don't remember the name" combined into one sentence?

Hayakawa looked at Ogata Riju expressionlessly and said, "You can't even remember the names of your classmates?"

"No...no,"

Rizu Ogata blushed instantly, turning her head away from Hayakawa's disapproving gaze: "Don't look at me like that... I can remember it."

"Oh ho ho?"

Looking at Ogata's timid and cowering appearance, Hayakawa suddenly felt a mischievous urge to tease her, so he tilted his head and leaned closer: "Hey, hey~ Ogata, do you know what my name is?"

"..."

Ogata Rizu's face seemed to be stained with blood, and her voice was as if it were stuck in her chest. After a long while, she finally uttered two barely audible words: "Hayakawa..."

"No! Aren't you bullying me?"

After a brief moment of embarrassment, Ogata Rizu immediately realized that Hayakawa was toying with her. She immediately became angry, raised her head sharply to glare at Hayakawa, her teeth almost grinding to powder, looking like an embarrassed and annoyed rabbit: "I was calling you by your name not long ago."

"Uh, no."

Hayakawa feigned ignorance: "I was just asking."

"you…"

Rizu Ogata was furious, feeling her chest throb with anger, but she didn't know how to accuse Hayakawa of mocking her. That would make her seem easy to fool and bully. So she could only find another way to vent her anger: "By the way, I noticed your address before. What was that? Meiji period?"

"hehe."

The expression on Hayakawa's indifferent face was a mocking sneer. How could an ant possibly understand the supreme power of the emperor?

"Hayakawa..."

Ogata Riju immediately became even angrier. Staring at Hayakawa's face, she angrily stood on tiptoe, ready to do something.

"You two wait a minute!"

Guqiao, who was standing nearby, had already sensed that the atmosphere between the two was a bit off, so he quickly steered the conversation back on track: "Weren't we just discussing that pervert? That's the important thing. Let's deal with that person first."

"Oh, yes."

Hayakawa nodded, then turned to Ogata and scolded him expressionlessly: "It's all your fault, you steered the conversation off-topic."

Rizu Ogata: "..."

At this moment, the young prodigy Rizu, for the first time in her short youth, deeply felt the malice of other human beings towards her, as well as her own murderous intent towards others.

"Let me ask first,"

Hayakawa was satisfied after teasing the small fry Ogata, so he became serious: "That hentai is a girl, right?"

"Is there even a need to say it?!"

Rizu Ogata's tone was as sharp as if she'd just been hit by a firecracker: "Didn't I keep referring to her as 'she'? And if she weren't a girl, would I have gone with her to change her skirt? Don't treat me like an idiot with no common sense!"

"Hmm...I see,"

Hayakawa ignored Ogata's rude attitude and frowned slightly, saying, "Although you said she meant you no harm, that's just your opinion and may not be true. So I still have to go and see for myself. Tomorrow, take me to your class and point out that person."

Upon hearing this, Ogata Rizu's anger subsided, and she said in a low voice, "She probably doesn't mean me any harm. My intuition has always been very accurate since I was a child."

"intuition?"

Hayakawa scoffed: "Then tell me, did I give you the feeling of malice or goodwill?"

Ogata Riju's expression was strange: "Although I'm sorry, when I first met Hayakawa, you brought me a deep malice, much more than that person. I even suspected that you had murderous intentions towards me and Fumino."

Hayakawa was immediately drenched in sweat: Damn, how accurate is that?

Is this what a genius is like? No wonder he's destined to achieve unparalleled success and rival the Great Emperors in the future. Does he even possess precognitive abilities?

Hayakawa cursed inwardly: I underestimated you, Ogata Riju.

"Hey, Ri-chan, this is going too far no matter what."

Fumino Furuhashi, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Isn't it a bit disrespectful to Hayakawa-kun to say you have murderous intent?"

Well, I had similar feelings back then.

Gu Qiao thought to himself.

"Later I realized that my intuition was wrong,"

Rizu Ogata blushed slightly and whispered shyly, "This is the first time my intuition has failed me since I was born."

Hayakawa's mind went blank, cold sweat soaked his back, and a gust of wind made him shiver. He immediately said, "That's right! Intuition can be wrong! This time might be no different, so I still need to go and check!"

"…Oh well."

Rizu Ogata couldn't persuade Hayakawa, nor did she want to. She simply nodded subtly, then looked up at Hayakawa with hopeful eyes: "Well, since we've said so much, to cheer me up, tonight's temple fair..."
