"Yuta? What's wrong?"
Eriri looked at Kijima Yuta with a bit of a puzzlement. Shouldn't she agree with her opinion?
Yuta Kijima looked slightly helpless, but Eriri meant well, so he patiently explained in a low voice, "I've already finished helping Shoko, Eriri, you don't need to worry about Shoko anymore."
"Resolved...?"
Eriri was stunned. Weren't they just discussing transferring to another hospital? How come everything was resolved so quickly?
Eriri thought for a moment, did Yuta want to bear all of this himself?
"Yuta! I don't think you have to bear this alone. We're good friends with Shoko too." Eriri quietly puffed out her cheeks, feeling touched but also a little sorry for him.
Hearing this, Yuta Kijima felt a slight warmth in his heart and smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't actually do anything in this, it's just..."
He'll probably be tutoring the Nakano Five Sisters next.
Thinking back to the awkward meeting with Nakano Maruo just now, Kijima Yuta couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
"But? But what?" Eriri noticed the key point and wanted to help Yuta Kijima share the burden, so she asked.
Seeing Eriri's current concern for him, Yuta Kijima was both amused and exasperated.
"There was a misunderstanding, but it has been cleared up just now."
He lowered his voice and leaned closer to Eriri's ear, saying, "You probably wouldn't believe it, but Granny Nishimiya's attending physician is Yotsuba's father... who is also the director of this hospital."
Eriri felt a ticklish sensation from Yuta Kijima's breath near her ear, causing her fair ear to quickly turn red, and the redness began to spread to her cheeks.
However, she also heard what Yuta Kijima wanted to say.
Even when I'm shy, I'm also surprised inside.
What a coincidence!
No wonder I was thinking of transferring to another hospital just now, but I've given up on that idea now.
Seeing the surprise in Eriri's eyes, Yuta Kijima knew she had figured it out and immediately smiled, "How about it? Eriri, you can rest assured now."
Eriri pouted slightly, then suddenly realized something and stared intently at Yuta Kijima: "Something's not right!"
"Yuta, you haven't said what you're willing to give in return yet."
After all, even if the hospital director is Yotsuba Nakano's father, he certainly wouldn't be a fool willing to selflessly waive Shoko and the others' medical expenses.
Isn't this just going back to square one?
How did Yuta Kijima resolve the financial situation in Shoko's family? He must have hidden crucial information.
"Uh……"
Yuta Kijima was speechless.
It seems like Eriri has become more caring towards Aki Tomoya since their falling out, and she's also become much more intelligent.
"There's no other way," Yuta Kijima said. "I'll probably have to go tutor Yotsuba and her sister later."
"what?"
There was indeed hidden key information, but what kind of novel exchange method is this?
Eriri raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, her eyes filled with confusion.
Yuta Kijima sighed softly. Although nothing was decided yet, he was convinced that this was the best solution.
It seems that Nakano Maruo will be able to resolve the issue with Nishimiya Yaeko.
I absolutely must try to get a tutoring job for the Nakano sisters. No matter how much the treatment costs, I can make up the difference later.
No matter how you calculate it, it's a good deal.
"A tutor?" Eriri hesitated for a moment before replying, "Will you become their male servant, Yuta?"
Yuta Kijima's face darkened.
How did you manage to connect tutors and male servants?
So this is really Eri Kashiwagi's thought process...
Eriri pinched her chin with her slender hand, her eyes sparkling, and said with delight, "How about this, Yuta?"
"Come to my house and tutor me. Don't worry, the pay I offer will definitely be more than you expect."
Eriri thought to herself, "Even if what Mom gives isn't enough, she can make up the difference with her own money."
Yuta Kijima said helplessly, "Eri, I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't trouble you with this. If you really want to improve your grades, just come to me directly. There's no need to hire me..."
"Hmph, even if you say that, Yuta, I won't let you off the hook for nothing."
Eriri tossed her shimmering golden twin tails, crossed her arms, and, seemingly feeling that what she said wasn't quite elegant enough, came up with another reason: "Think about it, Yotsuba is alright, but if her sisters don't like you, you'll definitely be bullied terribly..."
Kijima Yuta: "..."
As expected, I couldn't have a proper conversation with the industry experts.
If I keep talking like this, I'm afraid I'll end up being called the Nakano Five Sisters' @#@¥.
"Crack!"
Just then, the door to the ward opened from the outside, and Nakano Maruo walked in.
Then he saw Yuta Kijima and Eriri standing there talking about something.
Kijima Yuta was overjoyed and hurriedly went to Nakano Maruo's side, saying, "Dr. Nakano, how is Aunt Nishimiya...?"
Nakano Maruo's gaze lingered between him and Eriri, and he nodded slightly, saying, "It's all settled now. Ms. Nishimiya will be here soon, but you'll be the one in trouble then."
"By the way, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately later."
Yuta Kijima understood that the matter with Shoko's mother was now irrelevant, and as for what Maruo Nakano wanted to talk to him about, it was probably the tutoring issue.
At this moment, Eriri looked at Nakano Maruo warily, not wanting Yuta to fall into their hands.
“This is my friend, and also Shoko’s friend. We’ve come together to visit Shoko today,” Yuta Kijima introduced.
Chapter 204 Nakano Maruo’s bad taste
Nakano Maruo nodded. He didn't understand why this girl harbored a faint hostility towards him.
However, on the other hand, the presence of such a girl in Kijima Yuta's life only makes him more at ease, because this way, Yotsuba and the others can see Kijima Yuta's true character and thus be wary of him.
"Eri, this is Dr. Nakano, whom I just told you about," Yuta Kijima introduced to Eriri.
Eriri pouted and nodded reluctantly. She felt that if Nakano Maruo hadn't intervened, she would have almost convinced Yuta by now.
After all, it's terrifying that a young, unmarried man would tutor quintuplets who are completely unaware of the situation.
Yuta Kijima watched helplessly from the sidelines.
Fortunately, Nakano Maruo didn't pay much attention to that and went straight into the ward.
"Let's go, Eriri." Yuta Kijima said to Eriri, who was still gritting her teeth. "Don't worry, I'll know what I'm doing. Nothing like what you're imagining will happen."
Eriri blushed and quickly explained, "Yuta, don't talk nonsense!"
"Also, if you get into trouble, be sure to run away as fast as you can..."
"well…"
Yuta Kijima nodded helplessly in agreement.
……
"Thank you so much, Dr. Nakano."
On the hospital bed, Grandma Shoko said with a grateful expression.
“It’s alright. We will arrange Nishimiya Shoko’s follow-up treatment as soon as possible. If the situation is ideal, it should be over in about two weeks. As for you, if there are no problems, you can stay here until the day Nishimiya Shoko is discharged from the hospital.” Nakano Maruo shook his head.
"This...won't this be too much trouble for Dr. Nakano?" Grandma Shoko hesitated.
If possible, she would love to stay with Shoko in the hospital, but her treatment is scheduled to end in about a week, and it would be very difficult to find a bed for her to stay with her after that.
The suggestion made by Nakano Maruo has solved a major problem, so Yuzuru won't have to go to the hospital every day after school.
"It's nothing. Actually, it was Kijima who asked me to do all this. To be honest, it was just a simple transaction between us."
As he spoke, Nakano Maruo glanced teasingly at Kijima Yuta, who was standing opposite him.
Kid, if you're willing to do good deeds, you should let them know. Being a nobody like me isn't a good thing.
At the same time, seeing so many girls in the ward made him even more satisfied.
Only then could he feel at ease enough to hire Yuta Kijima as Yotsuba's tutor.
Back then, I thought this brat was similar to myself when I was young. Now, it seems that I'm just a clown compared to him.
Yuta Kijima was caught in the crossfire even while standing nearby.
Upon hearing Nakano Maruo's words, everyone in the ward turned to look at him, and he scratched the back of his head with an awkward smile.
Nakano Maruo felt extremely pleased to see this.
"I still have some things to take care of. When you're done here, Kijima-kun, remember to come to the dean's office to find me. Yotsuba knows where it is."
"Hey hey!" Nakano Yotsuba raised her hand.
"Then I'll take the first step."
After saying that, Nakano Maruo left without any hesitation.
Yuta Kijima was left alone to face the probing gazes from everyone in the ward.
"It seems that you successfully carried us through a difficult task." Kasumigaoka Utaha parted her red lips slightly, her wine-red eyes looking at Kijima Yuta with admiration.
He also jokingly looked at Eriri on the other side.
At this moment, Eriri had no intention of arguing with her at all, and was still indulging in fantasies about Yuta's bleak future.
Kitagawa Kaimu wasn't surprised at all; instead, she said matter-of-factly, "It would be impossible for anyone else, but for Yuta, there's absolutely no problem."
Yuta Kijima sighed, "These 'Yuta fanboys' are hopeless."
Fortunately, a calm voice rang out at that moment. It was Megumi Kato. She gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said softly, "I wonder if Yuta will feel pressured teaching five people at the same time."
Yotsuba Nakano chuckled, explaining that she had already told everyone the whole story.
As for whether the pressure was great, you can tell from the fact that the combined scores of the five of them in all subjects were less than 100.
