Ichika winced and covered her face in pain, struggling as she said, "Let Ichika go with you."

"This isn't right."

Hayakawa put down his phone and shook his head: "What reason would she have to come down with me? It's not safe. We can't involve her."

"..."

Ichika rubbed her reddened cheeks and looked at Hayakawa resentfully, puffing out her pink cheeks and glaring at Hayakawa, while Hayakawa met her gaze with a heartless smile.

"What if she's willing to go down with you?"

Ichika spoke abruptly, looking at Hayakawa's face and quietly observing his reaction.

Hayakawa was clearly taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and waved his hand: "How could that be? She's even more timid than you. She was so scared in the stairwell that her legs went weak. How could she possibly dare to come with me?"

Ichika didn't speak this time, but just stared quietly at Hayakawa, a strange smile appearing on her face.

Looking at that smile, Hayakawa suddenly felt a little guilty for some reason and silently avoided his gaze.

Two seconds later, he said, "In short, for safety reasons, I can go by myself this afternoon. Neither you nor Ichika can go down. Stay in your room."

Ichika pursed her lips, and although she was very worried, she still said, "Okay, then you must be careful."

Hayakawa smiled and said confidently, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Besides, I'll be out for most of the day. You know, even if those things exist, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble during the day."

"Well, I see..."

Hearing Hayakawa's calm yet powerful voice, Ichika felt as if a burden had been lifted from her heart. It has to be said that having a pillar of support by your side during such a crisis can truly make one feel incredibly at ease.

"Thank you, Hayakawa."

Ichika said from the bottom of her heart that the shame she had felt from being so close to Hayakawa had gradually faded and been replaced by a gentle warmth.

However, Hayakawa's next words stunned her.

"Why don't you sleep here tonight?"

Hayakawa said softly, touching Yotsuba's hands and arms, puzzled, "You're so cold. Is your blanket an ice hole? It's better if I don't cover myself with a blanket. If I sleep like this all night, I'm afraid I'll catch a bad cold and have to go to the hospital the next day. Besides, I can tell you're quite scared. You might even have nightmares later. Why don't you stay here with me? You'll feel much more at ease sleeping here."

Hayakawa looked at Yotsuba with a sincere and concerned tone. His gaze was clear and untainted by any worldly dust. It was infuriating that someone who made such an excessive and vulgar request had such pure eyes.

"..."

"Yeah ah!"

Ichika waved her hands repeatedly, her tone flustered yet resolute as she refused, "No matter what, it's impossible! Ichika will find out tomorrow! Although Hayakawa-san means well, it's better to forget it. I'm really sorry."

Ichika resolutely refused, and Hayakawa had no choice but to agree. Then time peacefully passed until tomorrow—what a wonderful ending…

Unfortunately, the previous conversation was just a figment of my imagination.

Her real reaction was:

The girl lowered her head, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible, and stammered, "What if we get found out tomorrow..."

It may seem like a refusal, but anyone with a discerning ear can tell that it's actually an agreement, because once the other party has offered a solution, there's no reason to refuse.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

What did I just say?!

What's the difference between this and just agreeing outright?

Ichika was stunned when she realized she had said such a thing, and the next moment she fell into self-abandonment.

Normally, I should have refused and gone back to bed, so that the fact that I was mistaken for Yotsuba tonight could have been covered up. But what's going on now?!

Why would you suddenly say something like that?

Despair filled Ichika's heart. She looked anxiously at Hayakawa, hoping that fate would smile upon her and that there was still a sliver of a chance to salvage the situation.

But the truth was that it was too late.

"It's ok!"

Hayakawa smirked, then pulled out his phone.

"This is?!"

Ichika stared at her phone with a look of horror on her face.

"Set an alarm for tomorrow morning at $2000.

Hayakawa laughed and said, "Then set it to vibrate and put it under your pillow. That way, I'll get up as soon as the alarm goes off tomorrow morning. With the pillow and the bed frame between us, Ichika definitely won't hear it. Then I can wake you up and you can quietly go back to bed, right?"

Before she could finish speaking, Hayakawa slipped her phone, which had been set with an alarm, under the pillow. Her incredible speed and efficiency left Ichika no chance to stop her. Hayakawa, having accomplished all this, gave Ichika a thumbs-up and a smile.

"..."

Looking at Hayakawa's radiant smile, Ichika knew that all was lost.

We're doomed...

Looking at the ordinary pillow of (囷:覇伞另器九污捌早川), Ichika's eyes were already filled with mosquito coils, and her brain almost crashed.

Her pretty face was flushed as if it were stained with blood, and her words were like a broken piano playing off notes. She turned her head and forced a smile, trying to sound nonchalant, but her voice still trembled slightly: "Well, since you've said that... then fine."

"Ah."

Hayakawa responded happily, then hesitated briefly before gently getting up and kissing the girl next to him on the lips.

"chirp"

The kiss was very light, not a verbal argument, nor a deep gaze. Even the wind and thunder outside the window offered no accompaniment; only the rain continued to fall quietly on earth as always.

Without thunder or lightning, the room was naturally dark, so when Hayakawa kissed her, he saw the girl's chest heaving violently, but he couldn't see the shock and confusion in her eyes.

"Good night…"

It was considered a stolen kiss, so Hayakawa was a little embarrassed. He lay back down on the floor, covered the two of them with the blanket, said something, and then closed his eyes.

"Good night."

Ichika's mind went blank. After responding, she lay down straight next to Hayakawa, her whole body as lifeless as a stiff mummy.

It seemed like an instant, yet also like a long time, before she finally came to her senses, and a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.

【Huh? Really?】

This was her first reaction in her malfunctioning brain: disbelief.

My first kiss... is gone just like that?

This is the second reaction: an inability to accept the cruel reality.

"Why is Hayakawa so skilled at this?!"

[He really did kiss Yotsuba!!]

Not a moment of sadness over losing her first kiss; now, she's filled with rage towards Hayakawa!

Finally, there was the girl's mournful cry.

How am I supposed to fall asleep tonight?!

Ichika's face was burning hot. She covered most of her face with the blanket, and her flushed cheeks made her eyes red. She was so energetic and tense that it was almost exaggerated.

She knew... she probably wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

……

There was no light this morning, because the rain was still falling outside the window, the dark clouds had not dispersed, and the thunder and wind were still entrenched in the city, ravaging everything in sight.

"buzzing"

Hayakawa woke up to a slight vibration and naturally reached out to turn off the alarm clock.

I took a slight sniff, and my nose was clear.

Good! As expected, the Emperor's body is invincible. This mere cold is just psychological. He'll be fine after a night's sleep!

Hayakawa perked up, only to find that Yotsuba was nowhere to be seen, and only the blankets still retained a trace of warmth.

Hayakawa looked at the bed with suspicion and sure enough, there were two girls who looked exactly alike on it.

Yotsuba must have gotten up before her alarm went off, so she went straight to bed.

She got up really early.

Hayakawa felt a sense of loss. Waking up to see Yotsuba's sleeping face next to him was an experience he had been looking forward to, but unfortunately, it wasn't possible.

"Um…"

Hayakawa looked at the empty room and listened to the faint sound of rain outside, and a wave of drowsiness washed over him.

He set his alarm very early last night to avoid being discovered, and it wasn't even six o'clock yet. Seeing the two women sleeping so soundly in bed, Hayakawa couldn't help but feel sleepy too.

Since there was no school today, Hayakawa decided to take another nap to recharge for the intense studying in the afternoon.

He lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep shortly afterward.

Reimu's first release...

Around 8 a.m., Hayakawa was awakened by the sound of washing up, and as soon as he sat up, he saw the girl's stunningly beautiful face in front of him.

"You are…"

Hayakawa looked at the young girl and twitched his nose before saying, "Ichika?"

"Eh?"

Ichika, whose face was originally full of fatigue and whose expression was unfriendly, was startled upon hearing this and asked incredulously, "How did you recognize me?"

Last night you were clearly...why?

Chapter 472 A World Where Only One Flower Is Wounded

The stunningly beautiful girl, Ichika, stood in front of Hayakawa's bed and saw her wake up. She wanted to say something to her, but she was so frightened by a single sentence from Hayakawa that she almost fainted.

"Ichika?"

Upon hearing this, Ichika nearly fainted on the spot, her face filled with panic as she exclaimed, "You...you...how did you recognize me?"

"what?"

Hayakawa was puzzled and looked at Ichika with a question in his eyes, saying, "I can tell you apart anyway."

Ichika's face turned pale instantly, a sense of impending doom washing over her, and she asked in a desolate tone, "Then last night..."

"What do you mean, last night?"

Hayakawa frowned slightly upon hearing this and tentatively asked, "Did you hear anything last night?"

"Ok?"

Ichika had already thought it was all over, that her life was going to be ruined, but after hearing what was said that morning, she suddenly realized that something seemed wrong.

Hey, it seems he didn't know me last night. In other words, he didn't recognize me last night, but he recognized me immediately when he woke up this morning.

Why…

Yihua was somewhat bewildered, but then suddenly realized what was going on.

Oh, is that so?

Last night, because of the heavy wind and rain outside, I had drawn the curtains tightly, and not a single ray of moonlight could get in. The room was incredibly dark, practically pitch black. Even though I was right next to Hayakawa, he couldn't see any details of my face.

Ichika had a similar experience before, where close friends would distinguish her from the other sisters by the length of her hair. So now she understood immediately that Hayakawa also used a similar method to distinguish the five sisters.

After all, although both she and Yotsuba have short hair, Yotsuba actually has a bob, which is a little longer than her neat and handsome short hair.

Last night it was too dark, so Hayakawa couldn't see his face or hair and naturally couldn't recognize himself. But this morning the curtains were open, and the room was lit, so he could see clearly and recognized himself.

Ichika suddenly realized that she had found a reason for herself, and that she hadn't expected Hayakawa to actually distinguish them by smell.

Actually, when they first met, Hayakawa had intentionally or unintentionally told them that she had a very sensitive nose, but as time went by, Ichika had long forgotten about it.

This is normal. Most people only believe what they can understand. So Ichika can understand that Hayakawa can distinguish them by sight, but she cannot understand or believe that this human's sense of smell is more sensitive than a dog's.

"Very good…"

Yi Hua felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and her whole body relaxed as if she had been pulled out of the water.

We're saved...

She hasn't been recognized yet. If Hayakawa finds out that she was the one who slept with him last night, it will be too late. She will not only lose face in front of Yotsuba, but also become a frivolous woman who sneaks into a boy's bed in the middle of the night in front of Hayakawa.

"What's so good?"
