<h1>Will I get to use this Umbrella? (1)</h1>
The day after my second dungeon exploration. I walked to school as usual. In my schoolbag was ‘The Umbrella of Intertwining Fate’ that I picked up yesterday. I decided to hold on to it, because there may be an opportunity to increase my experience somewhere.
“Hey Saino, something about you looks different.”
“Huh? What’re you saying?”
“Hm. Somehow you, you look more dignified….”
Sitting at my desk, my friend came up to me with a questioning expression. I broke into a cold sweat while responding back to my buddy meekly. If my appearance seemed more manly, then it was probably because of what I did yesterday.
I graduated from being a virgin, after having sex with Sensei. It might have changed something in me, sort of like shedding one's skin and turning into a man. But just as I smiled back to my friend in reply, the classroom’s door slid open.
Harumachi-Sensei, who was my first partner, came to class.
“A-a-alright, let’s begin homeroom”
It’s obvious that she wasn’t feeling her usual self.
Harumachi-Sensei who always carried a pompous attitude didn’t wear her usual overbearing and dominating self today. Well, the reason for it is pretty obvious. The shock of getting into a physical relationship with me must be really affecting her.
It’s been an undeniable rule for a school to remove teachers who put their hands on their students.
While watching the situation in class, Harumachi-Sensei’s body flinches slightly, just as she gazes in my direction. At any rate, I’ll just keep my head down, at least for the rest of the day I don’t plan on making a big deal about what happened between us or revealing it to others.
Natsuno-san our Class Rep called the class to give their respects, noticing Sensei’s peculiar condition. Everyone bowed greeting the teacher in unison, before standing back up.
Watching Sensei be a little all out of sorts. Knowing that yesterday’s change in behavior was due to a magical tool, my attitude in class didn’t vary much from before. Maybe it’s because I’m no longer a virgin, somehow maybe from that experience, I became more courageous after losing it.
“N-now-w then, let’s start with roll call―― Saino…”
Sensei glanced towards me with a complicated look when my name calling came, but after shaking it off, went about starting homeroom with a slightly shaky voice.
The rest of our classes for the day went by smoothly.
Harumachi-Sensei was pretty apprehensive in the morning, but since we didn’t have World History today, she didn’t come by at all after homeroom.
Today’s classes passed by just like a breeze. But deep inside, I was expecting for something to happen.
And the reason for that was―
……..Looks like the weather turned cloudy, just like they said in the forecast.
That’s right, it’s because I have “The Umbrella of Intertwining Fate” with me. The perfect situation that calls for an umbrella, is rain.
According to the weather forecast from this morning, things would turn overcast from the afternoon and rain until the evening.
So now was a convenient time to share the same umbrella with someone. And right now, I was in the process of picking that someone.
Obviously, I can’t do that with Harumachi-Sensei. I’m pretty sure Sensei would refuse to get anywhere near me right now. So, the idea of spending some time underneath an umbrella wouldn’t fly.
It would be pretty dangerous too if someone were to catch us, a teacher and a student sharing an umbrella on the way home.
Moving my sights over to the one who will be my target. Focusing on one individual who was at the center of the classroom. A strong-minded individual who puts her hair up into a ponytail and is staring strongly at the blackboard.
That’s right, the person I decided to use my umbrella with, was our Class Representative.
It was none other than Natsuno-san, whose pretty frame came into view.
School had ended for the day. I decided to kill some time while everyone left the classroom little by little.
Natsuno-san had gone off towards the Teacher’s Office, after being called to do something by the staff members. She should be about almost done with her work, so I decided to wait for her in the classroom itself.
Also, I didn’t want to be blatant and rude in front of her, but I checked to see if Natsuno kept an umbrella in her bag. Because I didn’t see any umbrella on the umbrella stand in class.
Did she forget to bring one with her, or did someone take her umbrella thinking it was theirs?
Either way, I felt pretty lucky. Expectantly waiting I played with my smartphone, and not long after, the classroom door rattled before opening.
“…….Hm? Saino, you’re still here?”
As expected, Natsuno-san was the one who came through. She looked surprised to see me still in class.
“Hey, Class Rep did you forget to bring an umbrella?”
I make an excuse, one which I thought up in advance. Using the pretense that she didn’t have an umbrella with her, she can’t go home right away, so with the collapsible umbrella in my schoolbag, wouldn’t I be seen as a Hero.
I put on a facade, raising my voice slightly, ready to pull out the umbrella from my bag, and completing the story. All that’s left is waiting for the right time to do so.
But Natsuno stared back at me uninterested.
“Ohh…… Well, I’ll be heading home first”
“…..What’s up? Is something wrong?”
Natsuno-san’s reply was completely out of my expectations. A shocking sound leaked out of me, correcting myself when Natsuno questioned my response.
Did Natsuno have an umbrella?……
But there was no umbrella on the stand in class…..
Leaving me confused, Natsuno exits the classroom with her schoolbag in hand.
She doesn’t even look like she has an umbrella.
Did she have an umbrella somewhere that wasn’t in class or something?
If that was the case, then my whole plan was a complete failure.
“Bye Saino. See you tomorrow”
“Y-y-yeah, see you tomorrow…..”
Replying back to Natsuno, I watched as she disappeared behind the hallway corner. I was left in a daze watching her leave, but soon after I shook my head, and decided to just follow her. My plan failed so it didn’t matter anymore.
If there’s a chance to use it in the future, it’s better to have the umbrella on me……
Yeah, that’s right, if it ever rains again, there will be a chance to use “The Umbrella of Intertwining Fate” sometime down the line. I guess by that time, I’ll be able to figure out where Natsuno keeps her umbrella.
Muffling my footsteps, I see the back of Natsuno's small dollish body. And make my way down the stairs to the ground floor. And just as Natsuno reaches her shoe box.
“Sorry for making you wait for me Akitsu. I made you go through all this trouble..., sorry.”
“Ehehe, no worries. Isn’t that what I am always here for.”
Casually talking to another person out of view, Natsuno spoke in a really friendly manner. And as I reach the last step of the stairs, the true identity of that person is revealed to me.
It was none other than the bodacious beauty Akitsu-san.
Oooh, I see, so that’s why………..
