Tokyo Tutor: Starting with My Ex-Girlfriend's Sister

"Saki really likes him. She gets impatient with other teachers' classes, but she only likes Yamazaki-sensei's classes."

"Mom, is it that kind of liking?"

Himeno Natsuki asked tentatively, wanting to remind her mother that Yamazaki Kaze was hers and she absolutely could not let anyone touch her, especially Himeno Saki.

"Natsuki, do you think they'll develop a romantic relationship?"

Himeno Natsuki paused for a moment upon hearing this.

"I've naturally considered the possibility of a teacher-student relationship. While Yamazaki-sensei is certainly sensible, I've always worried that Saki Ryo might do something foolish. That's why I sent Uesugi Aoi to keep an eye on her."

"Mom, relying on Kui alone might not be enough."

"You just got back, didn't you? I'm relieved that you're here looking after Saki."

"Mom, I haven't accepted Mr. Yamazaki yet. If I don't like him, only one of us can stay in this family!"

"How can I gain your approval, Mr. Yamazaki?"

"I naturally have my own standards of judgment, but you mustn't tell Professor Yamazaki that I'm going back to Japan."

"Of course. Mom didn't say anything."

"Mom, what is Saki doing right now?"

Himeno Natsuki wanted to find out how Yamazaki Kazuka was doing from her younger sister first.

"Would you like to talk to her?"

"Yes, I want to get to know Sakura better."

Himeno Natsuki offered a reason that her mother would never refuse.

"Okay, I'll go get her."

Himeno Kiyoyuki walked to the bathroom and knocked on the bathroom door.

"Saki, are you done showering?"

"Mom, what's wrong?!"

Himeno Saki, who was engrossed in being a miner, felt very guilty at this moment. Hearing Himeno Seiyuki's voice, she screamed in fright.

"Why are you so easily startled, child? Your sister wants to have a talk with you."

"I understand, I'll be right out."

Himeno Saki, who had cast water magic three times in a row, stretched wearily and slowly climbed out of the bathtub.

Before leaving, she drained the water from the bathtub to avoid giving herself away.

After a while, Himeno Saki, wearing a pink nightgown, came to Himeno Kiyoyuki's room and took the phone.

"Sister, is there something you need?"

Thinking about playing games with Yamazaki Kazuka later, Himeno Saki wanted to end the call as soon as possible, so her tone was very impatient.

How was your experience studying with Mr. Yamazaki?

"I'm improving very quickly, very well."

What do you think of Mr. Yamazaki as a person?

"Ms. Yamazaki is very kind, gentle, and understands me very well."

"Don't your mother and I understand you?"

"How dare you ask such a question? If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Hey, I'm trying to talk to you, why are you so impatient?"

"I want to play games with Yamazaki-sensei. That's much more meaningful than chatting with you, you face-mask addict."

"What did you say?"

Hearing this, Himeno Natsuki, who had a face mask on, was furious.

"I'm not going to say anything more, I'm going to play games with Mr. Yamazaki."

"Hey! What games are you guys playing so late? Why is Yamazaki Kazukaze playing games with you? Shouldn't this be his private time?"

"Saki, I'm not trying to be mean, but you should be resting at night. You and Yamazaki-sensei aren't that far apart in age. It's fine if you spend time together during the day, but to spend it all at night, do you really think that's appropriate?"

"This isn't teaching time, what right do you have to take up Yamazaki Kaze's time! It's easy for people to misunderstand if a girl like you is so intimate with a male tutor."

"Also, it's summer now, so you should be careful about what you wear. Don't wear anything too revealing, or Mr. Yamazaki might misunderstand you."

"When asking Yamazaki-sensei questions, be mindful of your distance and avoid flashing. Don't wear black or white stockings, and preferably don't go bare-legged—avoid long skirts with white socks. If you feel hot, turn on the air conditioning. Hey! Saki, are you listening?!"

As Himeno Natsuki spoke, she became more and more agitated, completely losing her usual intellectual elegance.

"Natsuki, Saki has already run back to her room."

The sound of her mother's voice came from the other end of the phone, which finally made Himeno Natsuki, who had entered a berserk mode, stop talking.

"Damn it, doesn't this guy know there's a difference between men and women? At my age..."

[I've already arrived at Kaze's house and spent the night there.]

"Saki is just a child at heart, she's just playful, don't overthink it."

"Mom, Saki Ryo's attitude towards Yamazaki-sensei is definitely problematic. You have to keep an eye on her."

The thought of my younger sister spending the day alone in a room with Yamazaki Kazuka and then playing video games together at night...

Himeno Natsuki felt as if army ants were crawling all over her body.

"Now that you're back, please teach Saki Ryo the correct view of love."

At this point, Himeko Kiyomi suddenly regretted her decision. Did her eldest daughter have a proper view of love?

"Alright, when I get back, I'll personally meet that Yamazaki Kazukaze."

"Hey, Natsuki?"

Just as Kiyoyuki Himeno was about to have a long phone conversation with her daughter, she heard a dial tone coming from the other end of the line.

"Strange, why has Natsuki suddenly become so anxious?"

Hime no Kiyomi was puzzled as to why her daughter's personality had changed.

Ever since she heard that a tutor had come to her home, she has become very restless.

[Sigh, it's my fault for not educating Natsuki properly; she has an instinctive aversion to relationships with the opposite sex.]

[Or perhaps we could start with Yamazaki-sensei, teaching Natsuki how to communicate with the opposite sex?]

Himeno Kiyoyuki is worried: if Himeno Natsuki continues like this, how will she be able to socialize with others in the future?

On the other side, Himeno Natsuki, having peeled off her face mask, looked at her rosy cheeks in the bathroom mirror and patted them with satisfaction.

"Three years have passed. I wonder how Kaze is doing. Has he matured a bit? I'm still the same as I was three years ago."

"I still hope that Kaze can become more mature, because that would make me feel more secure. I will always stay 18 years old and stay by his side."

The thought of seeing each other soon made Himeno Natsuki's heart pound uncontrollably.

She went to the study and opened the curtains. A burst of intense sunlight shone into the room.

This made it impossible for Himeno Natsuki to open her eyes, so she closed the curtains again and turned on the table lamp.

"I'm practically a born vampire."

Himeno Natsuki chuckled to herself as she searched for a book on the bookshelf.

On the eve of my return to China, I decided to stop painting and instead read some books to calm myself down. That critic was right; I now have no creativity, only technique.

Let's start with this one.

After taking a book from the bookshelf, Himeno Natsuki lay down in the beanbag chair and pressed the bell next to her to remind the servant to bring her black tea later.

Then, I couldn't wait to open the book titled "How to Rekindle Your Relationship with Your Ex-Boyfriend".

"Alas, my foolish sister, fate has arranged for us sisters to duel in a arena called love, but you are so weak that I feel sorry for you."

The conversation just now confirmed one thing for Himeno Natsuki: her younger sister's heart already belonged to Yamazaki Kazukaze.

At first, Himeno Natsuki was a little anxious about this, but when she thought about her opponent after returning to Japan being Himeno Saki, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Saki, I can share many things with you, from toys to shares in the Himeno family, but your teacher Yamazaki can only be your teacher in the future."
