……

That's all for today.

Nino waved to Hayakawa, a smile on her lightly made-up face: "I had a lot of fun today."

"Ah."

Hayakawa waved to her and smiled, saying, "See you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow,"

Nino blushed slightly and looked at Hayakawa softly, "In the future... will we still be able to hang out together?"

Hayakawa was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Of course."

When the chickens have finished eating the rice, the dogs have finished licking the noodles, the fire has burned through the lock, and Emperor Hayakawa has defeated his enemies, then I will accompany you out again.

"Ok."

Nino felt she had received a positive signal, and despite her shame, she left happily.

"..."

Hayakawa watched Nino's departing figure, glanced at the time on her phone, and sighed softly, "Sigh..."

Another meaningless day.

It was all because of that drinking session we had. Drinking really does have a negative effect.

"no more chance."

Hayakawa's expression turned cold. He glanced at the cola and popcorn he was still holding, as if he had thought of something, and then took a taxi home.

……

The taxi drove quickly, and Hayakawa arrived at the residential area in no time. After going upstairs, he didn't go straight home. Instead, he carried two large buckets to the neighbor's house and quickly pressed the doorbell.

"Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~"

A shrill doorbell rang, and shortly afterward, angry footsteps echoed from inside.

"Who!"

Wearing a hamster-themed pajama, Doma Umaru opened the door and said grumbling. When she saw Hayakawa outside, she was taken aback at first, but then she instantly remembered Hayakawa's terrible behavior last night and said through gritted teeth, "Hayakawa, what are you doing here?!"

Why are you making that face? Are you angry with me?

Hayakawa smiled kindly and showed the two large buckets to Umaru: "I went out and bought some snacks for you. Look, it's your favorite cola."

Chapter 164 Cola

"Cola? And..."

Umaru was slightly taken aback, then looked at Hayakawa with suspicion: "Are you really that kind?"

"Oh, really?"

Hayakawa squinted with a half-smile and chuckled, "Here you go."

"Let me tell you, my brother went to work today, and there's no one home right now,"

Umaru hesitated before taking it, but still gave Hayakawa a fierce warning: "Nobody can control me. If you dare to lie to me, I'll bite you."

Hayakawa raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Since you have no one at home, I can bully you even more easily. After all, even when I was a lowly young emperor, I could suppress you with one hand, let alone now that I am the flawless emperor."

Umaru bared her teeth and brandished her claws at Hayakawa for a while, then opened the Coke bottle and looked at the black liquid inside. She suspected that it was actually a similar-colored medicine that Hayakawa had bought to tease her.

"It's genuine..."

Umaru took a sniff and smelled a familiar, cool, sweet scent. As a cola expert, she immediately knew it was real. She looked up at Hayakawa and said weakly, "You weren't kidding me..."

"You're doubting me again. Why would I lie to you?"

Hayakawa's smile widened: "See, aren't we good friends?"

"……snort,"

Umaru squinted at Hayakawa, looking him up and down, then moved her head slightly toward the door and said expressionlessly, "Come in."

"Ah I?"

Hayakawa paused for a moment, then hesitated, "That's not a good idea, there's no one at your home."

"You're only bringing this up now? Weren't you knocking on the door quite enthusiastically earlier?"

Doma frowned slightly and reached out to pull Hayakawa inside: "Come in quickly, I have something to tell you."

As she spoke, she walked straight into the house, and Hayakawa was helplessly pulled into the house, where they arrived at Umaru's small game room.

"I didn't expect you to remember to bring me snacks. It seems you still have some conscience."

As soon as Umaru sat down, she took off the hamster cloak from her head and picked up the large bucket of cola, intending to take a sip.

Hayakawa's eyes followed the orange hamster cloak intently. The moment he saw it, he wanted to ask, "What kind of clothes are these? They look incredibly stupid."

By the way, are there any more? I'd like one of those.

"Well…"

Umaru eagerly took a sip of the cola, but her round face, which had been beaming with smiles, instantly turned bitter. She nearly crushed the cola can with her hands, sticking out her tongue and dejectedly saying, "This cola is lukewarm, and it's still flat."

"Heh...cough cough."

Hayakawa couldn't help but laugh, but immediately straightened his face.

"You did this on purpose, didn't you! I knew you weren't that kind."

Umaru felt a bitter taste in her mouth and looked up at Hayakawa fiercely. She picked up the cola with both hands, wanting to smash it directly into Hayakawa's face, but she was also reluctant to throw the cola away.

When she grabbed the cola, she didn't notice the temperature because of the plastic bag, and it turned out to be lukewarm.

This lukewarm cola, and it's barely fizzy anymore, is it really safe for her to drink? It's practically poison to her.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,"

Hayakawa sincerely and earnestly apologized: "I went out early today, so the cola has been sitting out for a while. I was so focused on bringing it back for you that I forgot about the temperature and carbonation. I'm truly sorry."

"I don't want to explain."

Umaru stared coldly at Hayakawa: "I want compensation."

"Popcorn is still no problem,"

Hayakawa thought for a moment, then shrugged indifferently and said, "If you put the cola in the refrigerator, you can still drink it, even if it's flat."

"...I've had plenty of sugar-free Coke, but this is the first time I've ever had Coke without carbonation,"

Doma, expressionless, reached out to pinch Hayakawa: "You did this on purpose. You know I don't want to waste cola, so you specially sent me this kind of thing."

Hayakawa's face turned serious, and he said earnestly, "How could that be?"

You actually found out.

"You're really something, coming up with this kind of trick to fool others,"

Umaru saw through Hayakawa's feigned expression and said with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, "Fine, fine, now tell me what you like to drink, and I'll get back at you in the same way!"

"I?"

Hayakawa, with a poker face: "I only drink purified water."

[Cannot be selected]

"..."

Doma Umaru silently got up and put the Coke in the refrigerator. She planned to give the Coke to Doma Taihei, who was tired after coming home from get off work.

……

"If you really feel sorry for me,"

Doma returned to his room, placed the hamster pajamas under his body, and lazily lay on his side on the tatami. He said arrogantly to Hayakawa, "Don't stop Mimi-senpai from playing games with me. Mimi-senpai and I are inseparable and a perfect match. Who gave you the right to interfere?"

"You really only think about yourself. That little Mei-Nani Aizami-senpai is a recent graduate, and she's even a ronin who repeated a year. This is the most important time for her to study."

Sitting in a corner of the room, Hayakawa remained expressionless, standing on the moral high ground as he utterly despised Umaru: "You're dragging her to play games every day for your own selfish reasons. Is this really a good thing? I advise you to think it over carefully."

"you…"

Doma's face turned pale and then flushed, as Hayakawa's words made him question the meaning of life.

Am I really a selfish person who only thinks of myself?

"It should be fine to play around a little, it's just a balance between work and rest during breaks."

After hesitating for a long time, Doma Umaru forced himself to come up with an excuse, pointing at himself with a slightly stiff expression: "You see, all I do is play games occasionally."

"Occasionally? Do you think you're like Xiao Meilang? If she could be among the top students in her grade, she wouldn't have to repeat a year."

Hayakawa shook his head helplessly, feeling that Umaru's definition of the word "occasionally" was problematic.

"Woo..."

Umaru immediately looked dejected and very lonely.

She understood all these principles, of course, but she really wanted a gaming partner for a long, long time.

"It's better to play fewer games."

Hayakawa looked at the dejected Umaru in front of him, thought for a moment, put his arms behind his back to support his body, and said calmly, "Let's wait until graduation. When Misaki-senpai graduates, I won't care how you guys do things then."

"After graduation, Senior Meilang will be preparing to go to university, and she'll only be busier then, okay?"

Umaru's eyes brightened slightly, but she spoke pessimistically. Her shimmering eyes flickered as she secretly glanced at Hayakawa, saying meaningfully, "What if someone..."

Hayakawa interrupted without expression: "Don't even think about it."

"I haven't finished speaking yet..."

Umaru lay sprawled on the tatami mat, looking utterly dejected.

"Hum..."

Hayakawa glanced lazily at Umaru, who was on the verge of tears, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"Let's talk about it later."

Chapter 165 A Lonely Night

"Let's talk about it later."

Hayakawa spoke softly, sitting in a corner of the room, looking at Umaru who was turning on her game console, his expression serene.

"Tch, that's absolutely a lie."

Umaru pouted, then turned on the game console, controlling her character to press the start button, while reaching into the popcorn bucket to grab two popcorns and popping them into her mouth, making a crisp sound.

"Eh?"

Hayakawa thought for a moment, stood up and walked over. He looked at Umaru's game screen and saw countless pixelated figures holding iron swords. He casually asked, "Which one is you?"

"A rabbit head with an orange turban."

Xiao didn't even look back into the tunnel; instead, he frantically pressed the game controller, controlling the pixelated character as he ventured into the dark cave to explore.

Hayakawa's eyes flickered slightly. He took out his "Really Easy to Remember" from his pocket, then sat down a little next to Umaru and quietly started reading.

Xiaomai glanced at him sideways, then turned back to focus on continuing her game.

Time passed by, second by second. In this season when the sun's rays were gradually decreasing, the only sounds in the room were the breathing of the two people and the crisp sound of the girl pressing the controller. The setting sun stubbornly hung on the horizon, refusing to fall.

"..."

While getting popcorn, Doma glanced at Hayakawa next to him and saw him studying with his head down. He was quiet, dull, and even a little wooden, just like the kind of bespectacled goose in class who only knew how to do math problems. Doma felt a pang of regret.

I wish he were someone I could play games with.

After all, her brother is usually busy with work and is often not home even on his days off. When he does come home, he is too tired to stay home and needs to rest, so he can't spend time with her. Therefore, Umaru is actually quite lonely, which is why she looks forward to playing with Mimi and Azumi.
