The beginning of a new week, it was a beautiful Mondayâthe only time you hear such a phrase would be in an old war movie.
I see, so even a depressing Monday counts as âthe beginning of a new weekâ, so that you wonât fall into despair immediately.
âBasically, if you take the differences between the restrictive and nonrestrictive use of a relative pronoun use for number 1 and number 2 here, the phrase which thereafter becomes a supplement for the articleââ
I wonder who that beauty standing in front of the blackboard actually is? The pervert that took the straw I used home had the same face.
With a stern expression, and a voice befitting it, she was energetically gesturing in front of the blackboard. To most students, the beautiful teacherâs lesson was really soothing on this harsh monday.
Since she has that soothing effect, I wonder if you could make a video out of this and post it online with the title âThe English teacher thatâs too beautiful.â to gain some money? A video with a beautiful person might not be so rare, but our beautiful teacher even has that beautiful aura. That is very important, not just the face and the style.
âFuuâŚ. Snore âŚFuuâŚ.â
I wonder about that sleeping gravure idol next to me⌠In Amanashiâs case, maybe her friendliness would be her selling point.
âAnd, although having a comma might change the meaning of the translation, it might be even more difficult to understand the smaller bits. Thatâs why, we have to use the English grammarââ
ââŚâŚâŚâ
YesterdayâMaka-sensei in her private clothes looked really cute. Sheâs always wearing that suit to work. I wonder if she could come to school more often in her private clothes. I think that sheâd still be able to uphold her unobtainable flower character.
In the end, we separated after having finished eating our meal at the burger restaurant. A lot happened, and I was tired after all. Itâs not like i didnât want to walk around next to her in her girly clothes, but that would seriously tire me out too. It seemed like she was pretty confident in her coordinated clothes, but she forced me to take a picture of her before we split up. On my smartphone, there is a picture of Maka-sensei, as she had a cute smile, doing a peace sign.
To be honest, sheâs extremely cute. Even though sheâs 24, how can she be so cute? That photo made me want to look at it in the middle of the night, and roll around on my bed. Though it was a bit awkward to meet Miharu after thatâŚshe looked at me with scorning eyes, saying âOnii-chan, disgustingâŚâ
Can she guess what I was doing just by the noise?
I knew that my actions were monitored by SID, but Miharu is the closest to me⌠Leaving that aside for now, seeing a beautiful teacher like her in private closes had quite the impact.
I guess I really am being disciplinedâno, educated by Maka-sensei, I really am.
ââŚâŚâŚâ
ââŚâŚMhm?â
As I realized a gaze directed at me, I found Kisou-san as the source, who was staring straight at me.
I really donât get her either. As always, she keeps writing something on her phone. Though it is prohibited to use our phones during class, she kept it under her desk, tapping on the keys.
What the hell is she writing?
And what did she mean when she said âDonât betray Maka-sensei. Protect her.â ? She left the shop right after she left it. And I canât really talk to her about it in school. But well, itâs not like sheâs actually talking to anybody else either.
But still, it seems like my week is going to be even more noisy than last week. Well, I did see some delicious things, but it certainly is bad to get swept along with every single situation. I mean, first the four-in-a-row confessions, and then Kisou-sanâs kabe-don. If things like these kept on occuring, it would greatly stress out my mental health. I have to take the initiative myself.
Thatâs right, whittle down my targets.
The one thing thatâs attacking me the most. The one thing that interrupted Saigi Makotoâs calm daily-life the mostâMaka-senseiâs confession. Sheâs always on the attack, leaving me no other choice but to stay on the defensive. Sensei has a lot of openings, so there should be countless possibilities for me to attack. Though I guess I wouldnât gain anything from beating her.
As the time came for lunch, I finished eating in the school cafeteria and went towards the English material preparation room. Since I didnât meet her in the cafeteria, she might be at another place, but thatâs a problem for the worst case. Though I do want to meet her, thereâs no need to rush.
Am I still a bit weak-hearted?
âHuhâŚ?â
And, as I arrived at the hallway connecting to the to my destination, I saw Maka-sensei.
âMhmm, Hmm, I think that it should be fine~â
âIs that soâŚBut, I might get doubted if I act more incautiouslyâŚâ
There was another person together with Sensei. She had her hair in a short-cut, and even though she was a woman, she was a bit taller than Maka-sensei. Her figure was slender, and she looked like a model with her tall body, a skirt reaching her knees.
Hiyoriâno, not that, Renku Hiyori-sensei.
Her reasoning for wearing a white robe on school grounds is âSince I often fall over, my clothes would get dirty.â
She always looked like she was spacing out, making it difficult for me to guess what she was thinking. And, she doesnât even know of my doubtful character.
With her beauty, itâs not far fetched to say that sheâs the second most popular teacher, but since I donât know how sheâs really like, I always keep my distance from her. And age-wise, it seems like she might be one year older than Maka-sensei. Even if the students call her âHiyorin-senseiâ or use informal language, sheâs mostly okay with it.
âAh, Saigi-kun. Yahoo!â
âY-Yahoo?â
âNice response~ Even if the teachers call you a damn cheeky brat, youâre still a good kid~â
âIs that really something that you should tell the student in questionâŚ?â
âReally? Well Sensei has to go now~ Bye bye, MakaMaka~â
âB-Bye bye.â
An individual even Maka-sensei in her unobtainable flower mode canât beat; thatâs Renku-sensei. On the hand she was waving at us, there was a ring on her ring finger, but nobody knew if she was actually married or not.
ââŚI wonder if I really am a damn cheeky brat?â
âFujiki-sensei wouldnât describe it with those words.â
So youâre not denying it, Maka-sensei. Since I entered high school, I really didnât rebel that much though. But, well, that was different when I was in middle school.
âFor now, come on. Today, no teacher will come to this room either, so itâs fine.â
âI wonder if the other English teachers are even slightly motivated to take their job seriouslyâŚâ
As Maka-sensei opened the door to the preparation room for me, I hurriedly entered. Sitting down on a chair next to her desk, she immediately brought over some tea.
âOf course they are motivated. After all, you can do this job in the teacherâs office just fine. Maybe they just donât come here because it looks like Iâm using this as my main workplace.â
âMaybe they have started to think that youâre doing something bad hereâŚWow, to think that the day would come where I would pay attention to Senseiâs situation.â
Even though Iâm only 17, a lot has happened already.
âIt seems like my education is finally starting to work. Though, to be honest, I donât really care about Saigi-kunâs mental growth at all.â
âSo you donât?!â
Shouldnât that be the most important aspect of an education?!
âAs long as I make you fall in love with me, I couldnât care less about that.â
âYou couldnât care less?!â
âBe it the future, or your potential, thatâs something the dogs can eat for all I care.â
âThat really isnât something a teacher should say out loudâŚâ
This person, I didnât know how serious she was until now, but I smell danger.
âIf I can get Saigi-kun to fall in love with me, I wouldnât have any lingering attachments left to this world.â
âPlease donât raise your own death flag. And what exactly happened? Renku-sensei is our Japanese teacher, right? Why was she here?â
âSince Hiyori-senseiâs around the same age as me, weâre relatively close. Though she seems to have seen through me. Rather, it interests me if Hiyori-sensei doesnât have a hidden personality or something.â
âLeaving out the hidden personality part, it really surprised me that Maka-sensei is so close with one of her colleagues.â
Rather, I remember seeing the two of them quite often together. All the other idiotic boys often say that they want to be educated by the two of them.
âBe it the unobtainable flower, or the right side of the road, Hiyori-senseiâs attitude doesnât change at all. It feels like I donât have to worry about that with her, and I can have fun.â
âWouldnât it be better to just show the real Maka-sensei to everyone else? SID almost figured it out too. After all, I canât really concentrate during class when I always have to wonder who that person in front of the blackboard actually is.â
âAs always, you say what you want. And thatâs the great part. Ahh, how cute.â
âH-Hey, Maka-sensei?!â
She suddenly came closer to, and hugged my head. While she was rubbing her cheeks on my face, she started patting me on the head.
âW-What are you doing so suddenly!â
âNow you canât run away. You even came here without me having to call you over, so I thought that your education was processing smoothly. You donât hate hugging me, right?â
ââŚCan you really call this a hug?â
âThen, letâs properly hug.â
âEh?â
In one fell swoop, she let go of my head, only to properly hug me upfront.
Woah, her breastsâŚher breasts! Theyâre pressing on my chest like crazy! And why is she suddenly so aggressive with her skinship?!
âSensei, did something happen?!â
âNo, not really. By the way, Iâm the type that thinks that corporal punishment might be appropriate, depending on the situation.â
âC-Corporal punishmentâŚ?â
âDonât get the wrong idea, Iâm talking about the âwhat-ifâ. After all, violence isnât allowed, neither for teachers nor students. Even the army doesnât use violence anymore.â
âThen, wouldnât it be a no-go âno matter the situationâ?â
Even at times like these I answer, must be a habit.
âSo, even if things would get dirty if inflicted corporal punishment came out, why do you think that they didnât eradicate it completely?â
âI-I wonderâŚ?â
Iâve never really seen such a thing happening after all.
âBecause it feels good. Itâs the perfect chance to let out stress for teachers. The problem is, you canât stop something when it feels good, though there certainly are exceptions.â
âS-So it is like thatâŚ?â
Itâs not like I couldnât understand what she meant. After all, teachers have a higher position than us students, but still have to act like theyâre more important. When stress builds up, some might resort to it.
âI do it because it feels good. Ahh, hugging Saigi-kun like this is so calming.â
âSo this is corporal punishment?!â
That took a weird turnâŚand I still donât get what she meant to tell me.
âRecently, Iâve only been educating you, so I thought that you needed some punishment as well.â
âThis and that, it was all meant as education I seeâŚâ
To be honest, I could only see all those things as rewards. Oh right, when she confessed to me, she kissed me as punishment.
âAnd, this is the only corporal punishment thatâs allowed for meâmy fluffy punishment for Saigi-kun.â
âFluffy?!â
âItâs your fault. Even though I didnât call you, you still came to meet meâŚyouâre so unbelievably cute. Ahh, I thought that a punishment would be too harsh, but can you really blame me, after being a bad boy like thisâŚ?â
âYour reasoning is all over the place thoughâŚâ
Every boy in this school would happily accept this âpunishmentâ. Maka-senseiâs body is so soft, her hair smells so nice, I donât even know what to pay attention to.
PunishmentâŚWell, a kiss would be problematic, so sheâs probably holding back. So she can do that even in her real personality mode.
ButâŚnot good, my heart is starting to go crazyâŚ
Instead of these drug-like sweets that they eat in American high schools (Information taken from foreign dramas), Japanâs drug definitely is Maka-sensei.
This is more dangerous than a drugâŚOnce Iâve got a taste of her softness and smell, I keep wanting more.
ââŚMaka-sensei.â
âYes, Iâm your teacher.â
âActually, I didnât come here just to meet you.â
âAnd, and?â
UuuâŚher eyes are shining, like sheâs expecting something.
I came here to stop being swept away by every situation. Thatâs right, if I can make her think that iâm still the damn cheeky Saigi-kun from middle school, sheâll think that her âeducationâ was a failure. It doesnât matter if itâs trivial, I just have to change the flow here. I really have to, butâ
âMaka-sensei in her private clothes was so cute that I couldnât forget about it for the rest of the day. And the picture that I took, I saved it on my PC, memory card, cloud and everything to make sure that I have backup in case something happened.â
âYouâre doubting the digital media way too muchâŚAnd, youâre going this far for this one picture of meâŚ!â
Maka-sensei let go of me for once, looking at me with a deeply moved gazeâ
âSaigi-kun, do you know? Youâre basically asking me to gobble you up!â
She pulls my head into her chest, sandwiching me between her big breasts.
Is thisâŚheaven? Boing, boing, their softness is directly transmitted to my head! Sheâs wearing a bra, right? Right?
âAh, I like you I like you. I like you so much I canât describe it. MhmmâŚ!â
ââŚâŚâŚ!â
She once more separated from me, only to kiss me on the forehead. Continuing with my cheek, my nose, she even kissed me countless times right on my eye.
âH-Hey, Maka-senseiâŚyour corporal punishment is taking it a bit too farâŚ!â
Youâre just kissing me now!
âNo, Saigi-kun went too far. Be quiet and accept your punishment. NnnnâŚÂ Kiss!â
ââŚâŚâŚâŚ!â
She continued kissing me without a break. Pressing her lips onto all over my head, that cold, soft feeling made my brain cells go crazy.
âNnnâŚ.Haaa, HaaaâŚSaigi-kun really is a problem child. it makes me want to punish you so much that it could turn into a trauma.â
âS-SenseiâŚâ
With charming eyes, she put both her hands on my cheeks, and brought her lips closer.
I-If you do that, then this would end terribly, Maka-senseiâŚI really didnât do anything that badâŚ
But, I canât resist. I canât turn away my head from her red lips, closing in on mine. Itâs pretty obvious, but she did put on some lipstickâŚno, my classmates also do that, but it really is different when itâs an adult like her. This red color doesnât fit an adultâs lips. They only fit Maka-senseiâsâ
ââŚâŚâŚ!â
With a too convenient timing, the sound of an incoming call reverberated inside the room.
Hey, hey, this clearly isnât a rom-com manga here. And itâs not even mine, or her smartphone. Itâs the official phone of the preparation room. So we did have something like that here.
Sheâs not planning on stopping her lips at all! How mentally strong can you be!
âIf you donât answer now, somebody will surely come!â
ââŚâŚTch.â
I heard that! Truth be told, I also wanted to click my tongue, but my rational thinking seems to have gotten the better hand of me.
âThis is the English material preparation room, Fujiki here.â
A rough, heavy voice came from the other side of the call. It reminded me of when my mother was on the phone because of her job. Normally, she was always like Miharu, doing nothing except lying around the house, but when it was about her job, it seemed like she was a completely different person. And, it was the same for Maka-sensei.
Even a bit more different than when sheâs in class. That soft face she made just now seemed like a lie. She really was a mature woman.
And yet again, I got swept along the situation. And she never answered me about why Renku-sensei was with her just nowâŚ
In this school, thereâs always some gossip flying around, not being restricted to grade school middle school or high school. It doesnât even have to be transmitted verbally. As long as you have an email address or LINE, you can get that information pretty easily. Even for me, a person thatâs not really socially active. But well, itâs mostly about useless stuff. Like about the sport clubs, or whatâs going on on school grounds at the moment. Who just started going out with who, whoâs started a fight with who in their respective sport clubs, or about famous restaurants in the area.
Though our school has an official school magazine, the people from the newspaper club are also sending out their âOffstage school magazineâ. And this magazine is full of these gossips. Since our school is built with the elevator principle, namely that you can stay in the same institute from grade school up to high school, thereâs a lot to write in these.
People like me, who lack social contact, always read through these. And of course, about the current relationship happenings in school. It seems like some news started getting attention since yesterday.
It didnât even take that long, and almost everyone on school grounds knew of that. At least, for the high school students.
âAnd, whatâs this supposed to mean? Huh?â
âKisou-sanâŚ, your choice of words seems rather extreme to me right nowâŚâ
And, it was the second time someone did a kabe-don on me, from the same person ironically. Since the break was over, I was walking on the stairs to change my classroom, only to end up like this.
âRight after I told you to protect her, something like this happens. Saigi, do you think Iâm an idiot just because Iâm a bit tiny?â
âI-I donât. I know someone whoâs even tinier.â
Though that person is in fifth grade. But, Iâm really not taking her for an idiot. Cute.
â [The idol of Seikadai, Fujiki Maka-senseiâs first scandal. And her partner is a problem kid since grade school?!] âŚWhat nice title bait. I wonât buy any more magazines from them.â
âSheâs not really an idol eitherâŚâ
Yes, that fishy article, released just the night prior, was about Maka-sensei and a certain male high school student. Though they did take a picture, they at least put a black line over the eyes. Privacy. Very important.
âI donât care what you meant to do with that. But donât go troubling Fujiki-sensei.â
âKisou-sanâŚwhy is everything about Maka-sensei with you? Are you trying to do her a favor for something?â
âI will be the one to beat Fujiki-sensei.â
âDonât just casually bring up a rivalry like that!â
Something seems off. Was that really Kisou-san watching me at the mansion?
âThey donât matter, my circumstances that is. What matters is, the troubling information.â
âThatâŚmight be right.â
Though it feels like Iâm the one being troubled the most right now. But I can imagine that that mustâve done a lot of damage to her. What couldâve been the trigger for the gossip concerning our relationship?
HmâŚI can think of too many things! Just how often did I meet up with her in these past few days? And not to mention that these meetings mostly happened behind closed doors. That on sunday was just a rare exception.
âHaha, itâd be weird if people didnât find out about this. What has the newspaper club been doing, really.â
âWhat are you laughing about? The newspaper club doesnât have anything to do with it. I already made them spill the beans.â
âEh?!â
Is this girl referring to violence perchance?
âIt seems like the newspaper club only distributed that article. And I canât think that they would lie to me in that situation.â
âIn what situation?!â
What did Kisou-san do to you, newspaper club?
SID might be dangerous, but it seems like Kisou-san wonât lose against them.
âAnyway, clear that up. If you canât, youâll be annihilated.â
âWith brute force?! Well, even if you tell me that, I only found out about it just now tooâŚâ
It doesnât matter how fast information spreads if I am at the end of the line. Nothing else I couldâve done.
âThe two of you.â
ââŚâŚ!â
Who came down from the stairs wasâMaka-sensei.
âThe chime already rang, so return to your classrooms.â
âOhâŚâŚâŚYes. Saigi, letâs go.â
âAh, yeahâŚâ
Although it seemed like she still wanted to say something, Kisou-san freed me from the kabe-don and walked down the stairs.
Maka-senseiâs voice was just like in class, or when one would reprimand students that were skipping class. It was completely different from the voice she uses during my âeducationâ.
âSaigi-kun, you too. Hurry up and go.â
ââŚUhm, can you not keep kissing me like this with that serious tone?â
With an insanely serious looking face, she continued to kiss me on the cheek.
Weird, didnât she enter her serious mode just now?
âAhh, I apologize. Really, I guess it became a habit for me to kiss Saigi-kunâs face as soon as I see him.â
âYou really should do something to get rid of that. This is really dangerous.â
Whether I was happy to be kissed like this or not is another question, but does she understand the circumstances weâre in right now?
âEverything would be over if someone saw us just now.â
âYes, thatâs right. Though I could just say that I was sucking out some poison out of your cheek. That way Iâd actually be praised.â
ââŚâŚâ
As if someone would believe that! Does this school have assassins that you poisoned blades or something?!
âIt seems like this turned into a bit of trouble, Sensei.â
âI know. Letâs just keep watching a bit longer. Rumours like this happen quite frequently.â
With one last kiss on my cheek, she went down the stairs. I wonder if Sensei got that information even before us.
Thatâs right, maybe thatâs what she was talking about with Renku-sensei. It seems like relationships between teachers and students arenât all that rareâor so I heard. Even I remember that. The range went from just rumours, to mostly certain. At first it causes quite the ruckus, but after a while it dies down again.
I guess that if I were to act carelessly, the situation might only get worse. Maybe that rumour will stop if I keep acting like I always did with teachers, and Maka-sensei remains in her unobtainable flower mode.
Either way, thereâs really not much I can do, though I feel bad for Kisou-san.
Maybe everything would calm down like thisâŚ
But of course, it didnât.
Itâs been several days since the rumour started going around. But, I wasnât called over by the president of the school, or from the other teachers. And Maka-sensei didnât disappear on a random vacation.
Maybe it wouldâve been better if an event happened where everyone understood. How do I say itâright now, it feels like itâs dragging on so tortuously.
âIâm fine. Rather than that, since Golden Week is right around the corner, weâll get called in for a lot of students I imagine.â
I saw Maka-sensei talking with Renku-sensei.
But, I couldnât get closer to hear what exactly they were talking about. And it felt like some girls were glancing at me.
Still, itâs a bit unexpected that the girls from SID are actually holding back. Even Miharu didnât comment on anything, and she just kept looking at her smartphone when sheâs at home.
And I really canât believe that Karen-kaichou would just accept all of thatâŚBut well, if Karen-kaichou, with her big influence, actually started moving, all of this would only get more confusing.
But, with nothing out out of the ordinary occuring, with these uncertain circumstances, it was the start of Golden Week.
This year, there are three normal school days in between our consecutive holidays, so itâs not exactly something to be extremely happy about, but still, Golden Week is Golden Week. Itâs perfect to let out some stress that build up at the beginning of the new school year, or you can just play around. Though you should get excited for it, this year will probably rather boring as always.
âAhh, how fun. This is the first time Iâm having so much fun during holidays.â
ââŚâŚâ
And the main reason why it didnât turn out to be that boring was the person currently relaxing next to me, Maka-sensei. In front of her, a few cats were gathering, and they were all rubbing their heads at her legs while they were rolling around.
Currently, we were in the cat cafe, owned by Maka-senseiâs father. And, today is actually closed for the people outside. There was no one else inside the store except Maka-sensei, the cats, and me. On the first day of Golden Week, the owner gave in to his selfish daughter, taking a day off.
âI think I want to live here. Wonât you move in with me, Saigi-kun?â
âI donât even know why weâre here in the first place.â
And, in case youâre wondering how I ended up in this situation:
While I was at home, I decided to take a walk because I was feeling a bit restless, and as soon as I stepped outside, Maka-sensei appeared with her fiat, pulling me into the car, and drove to this cat cafe. The end.
âSince this cafe is closed right now, we wonât meet anyone we know. And just to be sure, I turned off my phone so that they canât track me via GPS.â
âI wonder if someone would actually go as far as to track my GPS signalâŚ?â
So it wasnât a tracker, but GPS, huh. How high-techâŚno, wait. Who would even track me down like this!
The only reason she managed to capture me so easily is because sheâs living next to me.
âI donât know either. But, I know that nobody is going to come here today so itâs fine. Even my father went somewhere with his lover.â
âLover?!â
âThe cat he likes the most. He doesnât see any other beings except his cats.â
âNow I actually want to meet him.â
Well, I hope that he at least seeâs his own daughter.
âAnyway, today, we can just have fun to our heartâs content. Saigi-kun, do you like cats?â
âNot as much as Kuu, but I guess I do.â
âYou likeâŚ!â
âNo, I didnât say it to Maka-sensei. And you did lure me into that on purpose, right?â
âI wonder~â While she was smiling, Maka-sensei picked up a cat.
Today, Sensei was wearing a pullover with long sleeves, and a tight mini skirt. Her tights are so brightâŚ! I really like that adult long skirt from before as well, but todayâs clothes were really screaming âMaka-chanâs spring picnic variationâ, having a strong impact on me. Really, itâs like she was born into this world just to seduce us high school studentsâŚ
âNya Nya.â
âAgain, can you not say out loud an onomatopoeia like this?â
Damn it, she completely brought me out of my state of mind
âSaigi-kun too, you can just think of this as your own home. Donât hold back with the cats. Or do you possibly want to pet your Maka-sensei?â
âSince when did this turn into a Maka-sensei cafe?â
I canât even imagine how the long the waiting line would be.
âAh, hey. Muh, the cat ran awayâŚThis cat, she really doesnât like me.â
The cat jumped out of her arms, and went to the other side of the room.
â..Isnât she thinking of you as an enemy? Like a rival for your fatherâs attention?â
âExcluding his lover, the cats arenât exactly fond of my father either.â
ââŚI think we should stop talking about your father.â
I feel like crying, listening to that. And I want Maka-sensei to be happy.
âBut, once the cats run away, thereâs nothing much that you can do.â
âWell yeah, itâs a cat cafe after allâŚâ
Besides feeding and petting the cats, thereâs nothing else. And since thereâs no employeeâs here, we donât have anything to give them.
But still, Iâm glad that sheâs wearing a mini-skirt today. If she wore something similar to our schoolâs skirt, it would get pleated all over. Thatâd be like poison to my eyes. Though, since her thighs are so dazzling, itâs still poison anyways.
âThen, no other choice but to really open up a Maka cafe. From today on, itâll be a 90 minute course, so have all the fun you want, okay?â
âShould I feed you some snacks, or would you like to play with some cat toys together?â
I took my distance as Maka-sensei slowly came closer. If she were to draw any closer, I might actually become a regular at the Maka cafe.
Hey hey, where did the teacher-hating Saigi Makoto go?
âFeeding me, or playing with me is fine, or you can take a pictureâŚOr even some more perverted things.â
âI wholeheartedly decline.â
This personâs completely forgetting about our current problem. This really isnât the time to be talking about this.
âRather than that, the problem is the rumor going around at school! Iâm not really affected by it, but is Maka-sensei not troubled by it?!â
âNyan?â
âUuâŚ!â
All of sudden, she had taken out some cat ears and put them on her head, as she acted like a cat in front of me.
âNyan nyan, master. Itâs cat Maka nyan.â
ââŚâŚâ
On all fours, she was slowly crouching towards me as she was waving at me like a beckoning cat.
âRoll roll, even though Iâm an adult, I want to spoiled from time to time.â
âI sure hope that you wouldnât show this sight of yours to any other studentâŚAnd where are you putting your head!â
While going ânyan nyanâ, she put her head on my lap.
âSince I will probably not get another chance like this pretty soon, I will not let you get away nyan!â
âWah!â
Just when I thought what she was about to do, she lifted up her headâand licked me on my cheek! Her small, red tongue is going lick lick lick lick on my cheekâŚ!
âNyan nyan. Kiss kiss . Will you keep cat Maka?â
âKeep?âŚNo I wonât! And I donât remember cats kissing people on the cheek!â
You really canât let down your guard around her!
âI told you that thereâs more important stuff right now! At this rate, I have to pick you up from the street!â
As my brain was going crazy from her sweet feeling all over me, I somehow managed to separate from her.
Ahh, I wanted her to lick me some moreâwait, no, I have to get back on topic.
âI know what you mean to tell me. Truth be told, thereâs a lot of talk going around in the teacherâs office. And there are a lot of students directly asking me. âOf all the people?â, and so on.â
ââŚâ
Now Iâm really curious as to who said that. Maybe I could pull a kabe-don on them like Kisou-san did.
Well, excuse me that it had to be me of all the people.
âCanât help it thenâŚ,â Maka-sensei said as she took off her cat ears, only to bring out a blackboard from the back of the room.
Thatâs probably the one they put outside the shop to tell people their opening/closing hours. Putting that blackboard on a table, she took some chalk into her hand.
âLetâs seeâŚthe problem should be this right here.â
As a clopping sound reverberated inside the room, Maka-sensei wrote several words on said blackboard.
âSaigi Makotoâs and Fujiki Makaâs fishy relationshipâYeah, this really sounds fishy if you phrase it like that. Maybe they saw you enter the English material preparation room too many times, or they heard a seductive voice coming from said room. That mustâve been at the time we watched that video. Not to mention the time the two of us were driving in the same car.â
ââŚThis is no good.â
Thereâs nothing to misunderstand if itâs actually serious.
âBut, they donât have any definite proof. Itâs not a problem that Saigi-kun entered the preparation room. The voices from inside the room mightâve just been from a video, and thereâs no way that the people could clearly tell that it was you who drove with me.
That being said, she wrote âThe Benefit of the doubtâ in English on the blackboard.
âNow, Saigi-kun, what exactly does this mean?â
âUhmâŚbenefitâŚ? DoubtâŚ?â
Even though itâs supposed to be GW (Golden Week), Iâm forced to learn english?
âI see your studies are lacking. If you add a âgive someoneâ, it basically means that you are ready to trust someone, even if things donât look too good for them.â
âI-I seeâŚâ
With that, she drew a slightly deformed self-portrait on the blackboard, with an âAll clear âĄâ, once more in English. Such cute handwritingâŚ
âThat means, if we continue to claim our innocence, there will be no problem at all.â
âT-That might be the caseâŚâ
Well, we should call ourselves lucky that no one took a picture of us yet, in this time and day where basically everyone owns a camera phone.
âBut, Maka-sensei is constantly being questioned by teachers and students right? And that wonât change as long as this continuesâŚâ
âNow listen here, Saigi-kun.â Maka-sensei let out a sigh. âIâm an adult. Iâm not like those adolescent girls in movies and mangas that get hurt that easily. Here, my breasts are so erotic, right?â
âYour breasts should have nothing to do with this, right?!â
She suddenly started holding her breasts between her hands, pushing them up and down. Donât just try to seduce me in the middle of the conversation!
âAnyway, both my breasts and my mental strength are on the level of a normal adult. Iâm not like a heroine that gets a deep trauma because of something ridiculous as this. Thatâs why you donât have to worry about it. And thatâs not what I want either. I wantâŚsomething completely different from Saigi-kun.â
ââŚI donât want to wait until everything has cleared up on itâs own.â
I know what she wants. Thereâs no need to make sure at this point. But, I have to prioritize something else now. There should be something that even I can doâ
â âThatâs what happens when you try to be someone else,â you said.â
âExcuse me?â
With a serious face, Maka-sensei looked straight at me.
âOne year ago, I just started teaching on our high school. A fellow English teacher was grabbing me in front of the students, right?â
ââŚâŚâŚ? O-Oh, that.â
I faintly remember that. If I remember correctly, it was a bit after the start of Golden Week.
That day as we had free time, it has gotten loud in the hallway, which is why I peeked out my head out of the classroom, only to see several teachers holding back a young male teacher.
âWhile I was acting as the beautiful, unapproachable Maka-sensei, I happened to pick that teacherâs interest. Even though I tried to tell him that I wasnât interested, he suddenly exploded, that teacher.â
âThatâs right. I completely forgot that incident. So, at that timeâŚ?â
âYes, exactly. It was the following day, where me and Saigi-kun happened to pass each other in the hallway. âThatâs what happens when you try to be someone else. I love you,â you said.â
âI didnât say that âI love youâ part though?!â
Donât put words in my mouth.
âTch. But, I understood. âThat kid saw right through meâ, is what I thought.â
ââŚâŚâŚâ
Yes, the first time I saw through her âUnobtainable flower modeâ was in the spring of my first year.
âBut, why did that have so much of an impact for Maka-sensei?â
I remember that incident, but I donât remember talking to her after that.
âItâs exactly because Saigi-kun didnât do anything after that. That teacher immediately got fired and went off somewhere, but everyone was still pitying me. But, Saigi-kun was the only one that scolded me.â
âWait a moment. So because of those wordsâis what youâre trying to tell me?â
âExactly. Iâm not some heroine thatâs supposed to be protected. I always hated that others pitied me, and Saigi-kun was the only one that didnât do that.â
Because she was once pitied in her childhood, the âUnobtainable flower Fujiki Maka-senseiâ was born.
So, as she hated being looked down upon the most, I just happened to say the right thing to her.
âBecause of that one phrase, I fell. Iâm a no-good adult.â
With a smile, Maka-sensei took my hand into both her own.
âBut, even a no-good adult is still an adult. Iâll pull through, no matter what they say. Saigi-kun isnât a hero. Heâs a bit too doubtful, very sharp, and your head is always getting dizzy during my education, but youâre still a normal boy. Thatâs why I fell in love with you.â
ââŚâŚâŚâ
Thatâs why itâs fine for me not to do anything? Well, I do think that this situation is a result of Maka-senseiâs actions. Even so, I was also pulled along with her âeducationâ for too long.
âThatâs what happens when you try to be someone else.ââYeah, thatâs something I would say. So, do you plan on doing nothing, even though this is your fault, Saigi Makoto?
âMaka cafe.â
âEh?â
âYou said that it was fine for me to take a photo here, right?â
âA-Ah, yes. Saigi-kunâŚAnd, what kind of picture do you want? Should I go nyan nyan again?â
âNo, you donât have to. Rather than thatââ
As I stood up, Maka-sensei still had her hands on mine, which is why I pulled her along with me, only to push her into a corner. As I put my hand in my pocket, I made sure that it was still there. And, with a loud bangâ
ââŚS-Saigi-kun?â
âItâs a kabe-don. Recently, a person taught me how to do it.â
âW-Who?! Maybe Jinsho-san! Or maybe Miharu-san? It wasnât Amanashi-san, right? And Shinju-san wouldnât be able to do this with her height, rightâŚ?â
âSensei, I will honestly tell you something right now.â
âEh?â
While we were still in that position, I brought my head closer to hers. So close, that our lips were about to overlap.
âIt seems like Senseiâs education is showing some results. Rather than a harem of beautiful girlsâI seem to prefer beautiful teacherâs even more.â
In this yearâs Golden Week, we also have three normal school days in between. And on these three days, we have school like normal. So cruel. Like demons. I wonder if the people responsible for that dropped their sympathy somewhere sometime in their lives? Or maybe they forgot it already while they were still in their motherâs wombs?
âSaigi Makoto, are you an idiot?â
âWell, compared to Karen-kaichou, I guess I am. You do have top grades after all. Even with that personality, it feels like cheating.â
âThatâs not important right now! Grades and personality have no relation whatsoever! And also, my personality isnât that bad!â
ââŚâŚâŚâ
As always, there arenât any other people in the student council office. Do they have another job?
âWell, whatever. Weâll do it like that. Iâm sure that the other members of SID would like to say a word or two, but Iâll try to hold them back. You should do something about your little sister though.â
âThatâll be the most problematic part.â
As I showed a bitter smile, I said my thanks to Karen-kaichou and left the office. Though I was only in the student council office for about 10 minutes, Iâm extremely tired. Or rather, Iâve been tired since this morning.
I was called to the teacherâs office, countless people have started talking to me. It feels like I used up all my communication points for a whole month.
âWait, Saigi.â
âEh?â
As i was about to walk down the hallway, Karen-kaichou peeked out of the room.
âIâll go home for now, so please lock the door. And, make sure that all the windows are closed. If not, you know what will happen.â
âEh? Why do I have tooâŚ?â
She completely ignored my question, pushed the key on to me while she grabbed her bag and walked away.
Iâm not even a member of the student councilâŚBut Iâd rather not go through a trail again so I better do what she says.
I entered the office, made sure that the windows are locked and closed the curtains.
âSaigi-kun.â
ââŚâŚâŚAh.â
Not good, she got me now. I canât run away. To think that she followed me here. Iâve been had.
âSaigi-kun, look over here.â
ââŚâŚYes.â
And, as I turned around, Maka-sensei was there. I donât know Presidentâs aim behind this, but she probably lended me and Maka-sensei this room. As she closed the door, Maka-sensei slowly came closer.
âLetâs hear it, shall we. What exactly is this?â
ââŚA photo.â
She took out her smartphone out of her suit pocket, and showed it to me. What was shown on there wasâa surprised Maka-sensei, being cornered by a kabe-don.
âIt seems like this photo was distributed to every student this morning. Of course, the teacherâs got wind of that too.â
âSeems like it.â
Even though that came from me, rumours still spread fast I see. So even I can distribute information that easily. But, itâs not really that trustworthy if it comes from a student like me. Still, the photo alone mustâve had enough impact. A boy whoâs negatively famous pulls a kabe-don on the most popular beautiful teacher on school grounds.
And not to mention that itâs Senseiâs surprised expression thatâs doing the trick. And naturally, people think about a fitting story to that pictureâ
âPeople say that you did it against my willâand so on.â
âWell, it does look like that, right?â
Being the beautiful home room teacher for the boy, she only tried to correct the boyâs behaviour. But, that boy somehow misunderstood and corners said teacherâThough a story like that might not be very interesting, but the photo can be interpreted as just that.
To think that a single photo would have so much of an impact.
âSomething like that sounds more plausible than the story of the most boring student in whole school and the schoolâs most popular teacher having a fishy relationshipâdonât you think?â
âSaigi-kun! One wrong step and this might be treated as a crime!â
Ahh, even her angry face is cuteâŚ
That reminds me, even though she looks super cute in her long skirt, or mini skirt, her suit at school really is the best. An angry Maka-sensei, wearing that suit, is really cute.
âWhat are you grinning for! How did you even manage to take this picture!â
âThe timing is on-point, right?â
Itâs the face where I confessed: â Rather than a harem of beautiful girlsâI seem to prefer beautiful teacherâs even more.â
Of course, sheâd show that kind of expression. And because she was so shocked, she didnât even realize that I took that picture.
âDonât worry, a kabe-don isnât a crime. Itâs just borderline non-sexual harassment, so they wonât do anything bad to me. And I know how the teachers normally talk about me anyway.â
âYou are soâŚI told you that you didnât have to become the hero.â She pressed a finger on her temples and let out a sigh.
In the end, the pictureâs going around now, impossible to call it back. And, nothing bad will happen after this. Well, Karen-kaichou will do her best to help me out, at the price of calling me an idiot that is.
She does get a lot of support on the school grounds, so sheâll somehow manage.
âSensei, itâs not like I wanted to become a hero or anything.â
âYouâre not the kind of person to do that. Or, thatâs what I thought at least.â
âOf course, Iâm not pitying you. After all, itâs basically Senseiâs fault that all of this happened.â
âSo youâre not trying to save me, but youâre not pitying me either. What are you planning with this?â
âSensei, my education isnât over yet, right?â
âEh?â
âSince I produced another problem. You will have to call me over again to discipline me. Even harder than before Iâd imagine.â
âSaigi-kunâŚ?â
If I even submit a letter of apology, that will clear up the rest of everyoneâs doubts. Itâs still Golden Week, so the most of them will probably forget about this once the vacation is over. Until then, theyâll surely have something else to think about.
âTo be more preciseâŚI published this photo without your consent. As always, I was going against my teacher.â
âSoâŚ?â
Maka-sensei is clever, and sheâs good at guessing. She should understand what Iâm aiming at.
âI did something bad, so shouldnât there be corporal punishment? And I remember there being only one acceptable punishment.â
âI donât care about the picture or the kabe-don at all, but you really are a bad boyâŚâ
With a serious face, she stood right in front of me and put her hands on my cheek.
I donât doubt her anymore that she really is in love with me. Even I, whoâs always doubting everything a teacher says, understood that.
Thatâs whyâŚ
âSaigi-kunâŚSensei will punish you now.â
Her eyes appeared drowsy, her cheeks started to get flushed, and she slowly came closer. And I didnât resist her at all. I really did change, I guess.
But, since I lost my trust in teachers because of something so trivial, it probably wasnât all that difficult to rebuild that trust inside me. It seems like her education really worked well on an idiot like me. I want to experience even more of her education. Thatâs probably why I took this risk, and it looks like it was worth it.
While the setting sun illuminated the student council office, the distance between Maka-senseiâs lips and mine reached zero.
