When Hiratsuka saw Shishio, who took off his blazer, showing his shoulders and chest through the gap of his uniform, her mind stopped, and she stagnated. Her face flushed, and she couldn’t think straight until…

“Cough! Cough!”

Yukino**a coughed and reminded Hiratsuka of her status. After all, she was a teacher, and she needed to become an example for everyone. However, she also understood her reaction since she also reacted similarly.

Hiratsuka awoke and blushed, but then to regain her dignity as a teacher, she looked at Shishio and quickly asked, “Oga, why did you take off your blazer and wear a jacket?”

“Am I breaking the rules?” Shishio asked plainly.

“…..” Hiratsuka.

“Hiratsuka-sensei, what are you doing here?” Yukino**a asked to break the awkwardness.

“Oh?” Hiratsuka somehow felt a bit dissatisfied and asked, “Why do you think that I have something to ask you if I come here? Don’t you think that I came here because I want to ask you whether you’re doing alright on your exam or not?”

“So you don’t have anything to ask us?” Shishio asked.

“No, I have something to ask both of you,” Hiratsuka said without hesitation.

“…….” Yukino**a and Shishio.

Yukino**a sighed and asked, “So what do you want to ask Sensei? I hope that you don’t ask us something weird.”

“Don’t be in a hurry.” Hiratsuka dragged the nearby chair and sat between Shishio and Yukino**a while facing them. “So, how is your exam?”

“It’s alright,” Yukino**a said simply.

Hiratsuka nodded since she knew how smart Yukino**a was, so she didn’t ask much and looked at Shishio. “What about you, Shishio? Chihiro told me that you told her that you could get 1st rank easily.”

Yukino**a quickly turned her head at Shishio, looking at him curiously. She only remembered that this perverted junior that had bought a condom at the convenience store near her apartment was the smartest student in his grade.

Somehow, it made her feel conflicted.

“Yes.” Shishio nodded calmly. “I should get the 1st rank on this Monthly Exam.”

“Oh? If you don’t get it?” Hiratsuka must admit that Shishio’s confidence was so handsome, and he perfectly fit as her type of guy, but as a teacher, she also wanted to teach him humility.

“If I can get the 1st rank?” Shishio asked.

“Then I’ll treat you to the best ramen in Tokyo!” Hiratsuka patted her chest without hesitation.

Shishio smiled softly and said, “Then if I don’t get the 1st rank, I’ll treat you to the best ramen in Tokyo.”

“Really?” Hiratsuka asked with a smile.

“Of course.” Shishio nodded.

“Then, it is a bet!” Hiratsuka smiled, showing excitement.

However, Yukino**a, who saw this, felt unhappy since they had made an appointment for a date!

The only difference between their bets was who would pay for the ramen, but without a doubt, they would go to eat ramen together!

Shishio noticed Yukino**a’s gaze, so he also added, “Senpai, do you want to join the fun too?”

Hearing Shishio’s words, Yukino**a didn’t nod directly but thought for a moment then asked, “Then if you lose, what will I get?”

“Then I’ll treat you to ramen too,” Shishio said.

‘Hmm?” Hiratsuka looked at Shishio and wasn’t sure why she wanted to beat this guy up, so she quickly coughed and said, “Alright, stop for a moment, there’s something that I need to talk with you two.”

“……..” Shishio and Yukino**a.

‘Aren’t you the one who started it?’

The two thought, but they were too lazy to say anything.

“Okay, after Golden Week, I plan to invite someone to this club,” Hiratsuka said.

“Is it a girl or a boy?” Shishio asked, but somehow this question caused Hiratsuka and Yukino**a to glare at him. He expressed doubt and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s a boy,” Hiratsuka said while staring dangerously at Shishio, then asked, “Are you dissatisfied?”

“Of course not.” Shishio shook his head and said, “I’m happy that I can get a new friend.”

Yukino**a rolled her eyes and thought that this guy was too slippery.

However, Hiratsuka thought for a moment then nodded. “It’ll be great if you can become friends with this boy, Oga-kun.”

“You seem to care much about this boy, Sensei,” Shishio asked curiously.

Hiratsuka somehow smiled when she heard this question and asked, “What? Are you jealous?”

“Yes, I’m jealous, Sensei.” Shishio nodded.

“……..”

Hiratsuka blinked her eyes, and somehow there was a blush on her cheeks at that moment.

“Hiratsuka-sensei…” Yukino**a looked doubtfully at Shishio and Hiratsuka, wondering whether there was something between the two since they were too close, right?

“Okay, I won’t talk much, but I just want to remind you that you’ll receive a new member after Golden Week, so I want you to be prepared,” Hiratsuka said after she regained her dignity while telling Shishio through her eyes not to worry since there was only one student who could cause her heart racing.

“Be prepared? Is he dangerous?” Yukino**a asked with a frown.

“Don’t worry, he is as harmless as a flea,” Hiratsuka said confidently.

“…” Shishio and Yukino**a.

“Also, if there’s someone dangerous, Shishio can protect us, right?” Hiratsuka said while looking at Shishio.

Shishio looked at Hiratsuka’s smile, and he wasn’t sure why, but he saw an illusion where he and Hiratsuka had become high school students and spent time together.

Hiratsuka looked at Shishio, who was in a daze, staring at her face, which somehow made her embarrassed. “Hu – Huh? Why don’t you say anything?!”

Shishio then patted his chest calmly and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect the two of you.” He was sure, if he said “you” instead of the two of you, then Yukino**a might keep staring at him with a strange gaze.

Yukino**a nodded in satisfaction, but Hiratsuka snorted.

Still…

“But Sensei, how did you know that Shishio-kun can fight?” Yukino**a looked at Hiratsuka weirdly.

“Ugh…” Hiratsuka was dumbfounded and unsure what to say in this situation, then looked at Shishio for help.

‘You’re asking for my help?’ Shishio rolled his eyes, then said, “Right, Sensei, is that all you want to ask?”

Yukino**a rolled her eyes, but she thought it might be related to Shishio’s past. She looked at Shishio and thought that this guy must have been a delinquent during his middle school time.

“Oh, yeah, I want to ask you that you’re going to Tateyama on Golden Week, right?” Hiratsuka suddenly asked.

“How did you know?” Shishio asked curiously.

“Chihiro told me about it.” Hiratsuka was a bit embarrassed and said, “Chihiro invited me to go with all of you. Is that alright? I have heard that the hotel owner is your acquaintance, right? If it’s trouble you, then…”

“No, it’s alright, you can go with us if you want, Sensei,” Shishio said without hesitation.

“Really?” Hiratsuka was surprised.

“Yes.” Shishio nodded with a smile.

“…..” Somehow Hiratsuka felt that Shishio’s smile became even more handsome.

Still, hearing the plan of Shishio and Hiratsuka, who planned to go to Tateyama, Yukino**a felt quite lonely.

Shishio, of course, didn’t forget about Yukino**a. If she didn’t know about his plan, then he wouldn’t invite her, but since she knew then, he asked, “Do you want to come with us, Senpai?”

“What?” Yukino**a was surprised.

“Yeah, you don’t lack money. After all, you can get a private room and join us on the trip,” Hiratsuka also said since she knew how lonely Yukino**a was, and she was sure that Yukino**a was going to spend her Golden Week in her apartment alone, considering how bad her relationship with her family was.

Yukino**a was surprised while looking at Shishio and Hiratsuka. She thought for a moment and said, “Let me think about it.”

“No time to think. If you don’t make a decision, then we’ll come to your apartment to get you, Senpai.” Shishio was too lazy to wait.

Yukino**a sighed and said, “Did someone tell you that you’re too assertive, Shishio-kun?”

“I want you to call me a “man of initiative,” Senpai. Also, I’m sure that if we let you go home, then you’ll make an excuse like you can’t join us and go back to your family or something,” Shishio said since everything was just an excuse.

A woman is a liar.

Even though their mouths say they don’t want to, their bodies are honest.

Oops, Shishio felt that he had given the wrong example.

“Yeah, it’s not like a loner like you have a plan anyway, right?” Hiratsuka said in agreement.

“……..”

If a stare could kill, then Yukino**a could kill Hiratsuka now. Still, she sighed and asked, “Tateyama is in Chiba, right? What are you going to do there?”

“Well, we can pick strawberries, play on the beach, eat local food, and enjoy a hot spring. There’s a lot more,” Shishio said.

“Hmm…” Yukino**a thought for a moment and asked, “Am I not going to trouble you?”

“It’s alright. You don’t need to worry.”

Yukino**a sighed, then said after a moment of hesitation, “…Okay, then.”

“Yay!” 2x

Shishio and Hiratsuka clapped their hands together since they had succeeded in inviting Yukino**a with them.

Yukino**a looked at the two of them with a helpless smile, then asked, “By the way, who will go on this trip?”

“It’s the three of us and everyone from Sakurasou, so there should be two more guys and eight more women,” Shishio said.

“Okay.” Yukino**a nodded.

“Then, since it’s settled, I’ll go back first. I need to finish my work.” Hiratsuka sighed and thought to finish her work as soon as possible so she could enjoy the trip.

“Good work, Sensei…” 2x

Shishio and Yukino**a could see Hiratsuka’s lonely back. If only Hirasuka was a high school student, then without a doubt, they would play together during Golden Week, but then again, they might be caught in a love triangle.

Still, when Hiratsuka left, Shishio asked, “Do you have a plan after this, Senpai?”

Yukino**a put down her book and asked, “You ask me this question, are you going to invite me again?”

Shishio wanted to say something, but then the door opened.

“Yukinon. Oga-kun. Are you here? Let’s go out after the exam!”

Shishio and Yukino**a turned their heads and saw Momo and Rui enter the clubroom of the Service Club.

“Err… how about you all follow me together?” Shishio said and decided to have a showdown.

“Hmm?” 3x

Yukino**a, Momo, and Rui looked at Shishio together, wondering what he was going to show them.

—

Shiina, Saki, Miu, Nana, and the girls were waiting for Shishio at the clubroom of the literature club. Some of them were reading, some were sleeping, some were playing games, and some were talking to each other.

In conclusion, they were having their own time, spending their time together.

They knew that Shishio would spend an hour in his clubroom, so they waited for him, but they didn’t expect an hour, or it should be half an hour later, he ended his club, but he didn’t come alone. Instead, he came with three beautiful girls, which made all the girls in the literature club stare at him simultaneously.

Shishio, who had always been calm, was challenged at this moment. He took a deep breath and said, “Alright, who wants to go out and sing karaoke?”

“……”

They only stared at Shishio, and somehow they wanted to curse him at the same time.

‘What a scumbag!!’
