Furuhashi was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed by Hayakawa's teasing, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Don't you feel ashamed to say such things, you young master of a big capitalist?"

"is it?"

Hayakawa tilted his head slightly: "But I don't have any hobbies, so I don't usually spend money on anything."

Fumino Furuhashi retorted, "Isn't ordering takeout free?"

"That was for you guys,"

Hayakawa calmly replied, "I cook when I'm alone."

"Oh……"

Gu Qiao was a little stunned: "I didn't expect you to be so frugal."

"It's not exactly being frugal,"

Hayakawa thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "The main problem is that even if we have money, we don't know where to spend it."

After all, academic performance can't be improved like in a game where you can just spend money to increase your combat power.

"Hayakawa, what's your family like?"

Looking at Hayakawa's indifferent profile, Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"As for my family..."

Hayakawa thought for a moment and said, "It's a little bigger than yours, but otherwise there's not much difference."

"Why don't I believe what you say?"

Gu Qiao narrowed his eyes and said expressionlessly, "Forget it, I'll look at it myself, whether there are any photos or not."

"Who would take pictures of their own home?"

Hayakawa made a sarcastic remark, saying casually, "If you want to see it, just search it online. You can find it online."

"Ok?"

Fumino Furuhashi paused for a moment, then looked at Hayakawa with a strange expression: "What do you mean? What do you mean by 'can be found online'?"

"literal meaning,"

Hayakawa sighed, “Tokyo Tsubakiyama Villa, my house is number four.”

Chunshan Villa…

Fumino Furuhashi opened her phone and searched for it, wondering if it was the name of a neighborhood. But when the search results came up, she was stunned.

The first search result that catches the eye is a news article, the kind of common marketing account that attracts traffic with sensational headlines and meaningless content.

The headline of this news story is equally sensational.

"Let me take you behind the scenes of Japan's most luxurious upscale neighborhood, where even police officers investigating cases are stopped at the gate by security guards. The most distinguished resident there is actually him..."

What a classic title! I didn't want to read any further after just one glance.

Fumino Furuhashi's face immediately darkened, but she still felt a chill run down her spine.

Tokyo's wealthy districts... I'd only ever heard of them before. Did the Hayakawa family really live in a place like that?

Furuhashi couldn't help but steal a glance at Hayakawa before turning her attention back to her phone and reading intently.

"One of Japan's most prestigious affluent neighborhoods... Tokyo's most luxurious community, where even the most high-end luxury cars are prohibited from entering..."

"Located in the central area of ​​roughly 23 wards in Minato Ward, this is considered a highly upscale area by real estate investors. Its exact location cannot be found on map software… its ample security and confidentiality attract numerous government officials and celebrities…"

"The strictest management procedures are implemented. Here, even police officers coming to investigate will be stopped outside without prior notification and the residents' consent..."

"Many of the residents are well-known celebrities, such as singers who have been popular in the Japanese idol scene for the past decade... and Yamamoto, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's butler..."

Fumino Furuhashi read all the way down, but in the end she still didn't see the title "The Most Distinguished Resident," only a "To be shared in the next issue" message, and she was so angry that she closed the page.

She put away her phone, looked at the boy beside her, and said in a subtle tone, "Um..."

"Ah."

Hayakawa responded.

"Hayakawa..."

Fumino Furuhashi blinked and asked timidly, "Should I call you 'sir' from now on?"

"Uh…"

Hayakawa's expression froze for a moment. He silently turned to look at her and said expressionlessly, "If you want to call me that, then go ahead."

"Who's going to yell?"

Fumino Furuhashi was so angry that she raised her fist to hit Hayakawa, but when it landed in mid-air, she realized that her punch would probably cost hundreds of millions, which she couldn't afford to pay. So she could only put her hand down hard and said in despair, "At most, I'll call you young master."

"You can call me Young Master."

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Hayakawa's face, vanishing in an instant.

"Your family is so rich."

Fumino Furuhashi said sincerely, "However, I couldn't find the number four you mentioned online, only information about the entire villa."

"Really? Then the specific resident information must have been blocked,"

Hayakawa calmly replied, "I used to be able to find it myself."

Fumino Furuhashi was taken aback: "Why are you checking your own house?"

Hayakawa paused slightly and said, "He ran away from home to search for a map of the manor."

Fumino Furuhashi: "..."

Hayakawa didn't explain much, but silently looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

He awakened to become a young emperor during elementary school, and his great will made him realize that he was bound to the manor and surrounded by maids.

A solitary soul...should not be bound by any constraints.

So Hayakawa, a third-grader, planned a spectacular runaway from home. The planning and preparation took a month. After half an hour, he got lost in the woods of the manor and his sneaky behavior attracted the attention of the residents. He was eventually caught by the security guard, and the plan failed.

Even though the plan failed, Hayakawa still felt he had made progress. He was so different and extraordinary even as a child, and he dared not imagine what he would achieve when he grew up.

Hayakawa thought about it, tears streaming down her face, heartbroken and devastated.

He used to be so full of vigor and arrogance, but now he is mired in the mud and looks miserable. How could he not be in pain after such an experience?

"Ugh…"

Hayakawa sighed softly, saying weakly, "Number four, Tsubakiyama Villa, is where I live in Tokyo. It's called Fujien Villa. If you ever happen to pass by there, just mention my name and address, and the gatekeeper will let you in, and the maids will take care of you."

"I... I probably won't be passing through there, Tokyo is too far away."

Fumino Furuhashi's expression was subtle before she asked, "But what is the meaning of 'Bieyu' (别邸)?"

"It refers to houses other than the main residence."

Hayakawa said, "That house was bought by my parents for me to live in. They don't live there themselves. It's just me, the maid, the housekeeper, the gardener, and the security guard inside."

"Uh…"

Fumino Furuhashi's eye twitched, utterly shocked by the blatant flaunting of wealth by this rich shrew: "If your parents don't live with you, where do they live?"

"They work abroad,"

Hayakawa said calmly, "I've lived alone since I was a child."

Chapter 251 The Young Emperor's Period

Have you lived alone since childhood?

Aren't those left-behind children?

"That's it..."

Looking at Hayakawa's ambiguous expression, Fumino felt a pang of guilt, but didn't know how to comfort her.

The two walked forward silently, the wheels of their suitcases rolling on the ground, making a "gurgling" sound. Hayakawa remained calm, his heart unmoved.

From the time he could remember until the third grade of elementary school, his parents were usually busy with things abroad, and it was unclear whether they were working or doing something else. He stayed in Tokyo to attend school and was taken care of by the family's servants. In any case, he rarely saw them throughout the year.

Materially, he was never shortchanged. His allowance was unlimited. When he wanted milk, there was a wet nurse. When he was hungry, he could find a cook. When he was in a bad mood, he could make the butler crawl on the ground like a dog. When he was sexually aroused, he could call a maid. In short, when his parents were not around, he was the king of that manor world.

It's not like you don't see your parents all year round. During holidays, midterms and finals, winter and summer vacations, New Year's, and family reunions, they always suddenly appear at home, hug you warmly, give you all sorts of gifts, and ask you what your wishes are. They will try their best to fulfill even the most demanding requests. After doing all this, they will leave with a sense of apology.

At that time, Hayakawa would stand at the door, holding the gifts her parents had given her, and watch them leave, her expression calm.

At that time, he had just met Umaru and was also exposed to various games for the first time. In his mind, his parents were like two very skilled casual players, while he was just a random NPC in an RPG game, standing in the manor waiting for someone to trigger a quest.

They appear and disappear in a hurry, bringing gifts and greetings to curry favor, year after year, in order to increase favorability and complete a task called "family affection".

For a long time, Hayakawa found it difficult to get along with those around him. The servility and obsequiousness of the butler and servants in his household gradually made him arrogant and indifferent. He began to order his servants around at will and gradually stopped taking his peers at school seriously. His classmates and teachers at school did not dare to offend this young master who was picked up and dropped off in luxury cars every day. The servants at home were also afraid of him, so his life became increasingly lonely.

Back then, Hayakawa, who was still in elementary school, also wondered why he couldn't be picked up and dropped off by his parents like other children, why it was always the butler who attended his parent-teacher conferences, and why everyone in his family was so subservient to him...

However, he gradually began to accept this kind of life and was happy to be subordinate to others.

Finally, he awakened.

Ah ~

A free spirit soars amidst the storm; a lofty soul needs no constraints!

He's a fugitive emperor from Tokyo!

Before Hayakawa awakened, he didn't treat the servants in his house as human beings. After awakening, they were treated worse than dogs. He never took them seriously. So, without saying a word, he planned a grand plan to run away from home and escape the cage that bound him.

The plan was discovered, it fell through, and her parents were notified of her running away from home, so she returned immediately.

They immediately inquired about the situation from the butler and the manor security, and then tried to have a heart-to-heart talk with Hayakawa. Unfortunately, as an emperor, Hayakawa did not want to talk much with mortals, so the conversation ended inconclusively.

Hayakawa's parents consulted a psychologist, but the psychologist saw her as worthless and incapable of treating her.

Hayakawa's parents arranged for him to transfer to another school, so he left that elementary school, leaving behind Yotsuba and Umaru, who were his only friends, and began a brand new journey for the Great Emperor.

After that, his parents spent significantly more time at home each year, trying to influence Hayakawa's heart with their familial love. However, Hayakawa's resolve was as firm as iron, and he no longer knew how to interact with them normally. Their concern felt more like a constraint and left him feeling lost.

Six years later, Hayakawa chose a school called Ichinose High School in another city. He left Tokyo and the villa where he had lived since childhood.

……

Before long, the two got off the tram and, carrying their luggage, arrived at a place not far from Ogata Rizu's udon noodle shop.

"Ah."

Fumino Furuhashi gave Hayakawa a wink, signaling him to stay away. Otherwise, if Ogata's father found out that his daughter was going to Hokkaido with a boy, the trip would definitely be ruined, and Hayakawa's life would probably be in danger.

"trouble…"

Hayakawa looked around helplessly and found a telephone pole to hide behind.

Fumino Furuhashi took a deep breath, flashed a perfect smile, and walked into the udon shop.

Hayakawa stood nearby and waited, but after five minutes, neither of them came out. Bored, he took out his vocabulary notebook, which he always carried with him, and started reading.

Five minutes later, Ogata's father escorted Furuhashi and Ogata out, saying something with a concerned expression as they walked. His incessant nagging made Ogata Rizu roll her eyes, and even Furuhashi Fumino's perfect smile faltered.

"Father, you're so annoying,"

Rizu Ogata shook off her father's hand that was tugging at her sleeve, said impatiently, and quickly left with her suitcase: "Let's go, Fumino."

"Um,"

Fumino Furuhashi nodded quickly, then turned to Ogata's father and said, "We're leaving, Uncle."

"Little Fumino, you must take care of my Rizu!"

Watching his daughter's retreating figure, Ogata's father said somberly to Fumino Furuhashi, "This is the first time she's ever gone on a trip in her life, I..."

As he spoke, he vigorously wiped his face with his furrowed brows.

Fumino Furuhashi's heart tightened, and she said seriously, "Don't worry, Uncle, I will definitely bring Rizu back safely, I promise!"

Even if I can't manage on my own, I have Hayakawa to rely on. Fumino Furuhashi believes that Hayakawa will protect herself and Rizu.

Ogata's father nodded and finally turned and went back into the shop.

Rizu Ogata, carrying her suitcase, looked delighted, and her steps became much more cheerful.

On her first long trip, her usually expressionless face broke into an uncontrollable joy, so much so that she didn't even notice Hayakawa hiding by the roadside.
