7Maka-sensei’s relatively splendid plan
8Part 1:
9
10Since our school is, just like the name says, a private one, the costs for students aren’t exactly low and donations aren’t rare. Thanks to that, the food in the cafeteria is decent, leaving the students with no complains about a warm lunch. And, today’s lunch is a hamburger set. The hamburgers were drenched with delicious sauce while fried eggs, carrots, corn, potato salad, mini-spaghetti, rice and miso soup were the side dishes.
11
12I really like hamburgers, and adding fried eggs to that made me get even more excited. But, saying that makes me feel like a child. I wonder when I’ll get an adults’ taste.
13
14“Saigi-kun, that looks really delicious.â€
15
16“Yes, it really is. I got nothing against a normal lunch box but I certainly won’t say no to something hot and steamy like this—–wait, Maka-sensei?!â€
17
18Before I even realized it, Maka-sensei was sitting across the table. She really appears at the weirdest time as always. Inside the small lunch box in front of her was a small portion of salad, nothing else? By the way, you can bring whatever you want to the cafeteria.
19
20“You don’t have to so surprised every time. The staff is also using this cafeteria.â€
21
22“T-That might be the case but still…..â€
23
24That suit looks really good on you today too, Sensei.
25
26Next to her salad, she also has a bottle. Might that be redbush tea?
27
28“Wooow, the food today really is delicious! Ahahaha!â€
29
30“….Why are you here as well, Amanashi?â€
31
32In the meantime, Amanashi sat down next to Maka-sensei, looking really nervous.
33
34“Ahahaha, don’t call me Amanashi. It sounds like we’re strangers. Call me Manasshii~â€
35
36“What kind of character are you trying to be?â€
37
38As if I could call you like that. That nickname is bad in all sorts of ways.
39
40“And, you’re eating that all on your own?â€
41
42What she had in front of her was the filet chop menu. Also, a noodle dish as a side dish.
43
44“I don’t have any photoshoot today so I can stuff my belly as much as I want!â€
45
46“Uhm, that might be fine as your job as a gravure model, but you really shouldn’t do that as a girl in general.â€
47
48“I really shouldn’t yeah! Ahahahahaha!â€
49
50Uhm, can you not let out such a loud voice? I feel like the other boys are starting to glare at me, seeing as how I’m sitting together with a super popular and beautiful teacher and a super popular gravure model. Ouch, their gazes are starting to hurt like knives in my back.
51
52“It’s fine. I invited Amanashi-san after all.â€
53
54“Does this have any connection to that weirdly-named organization again?â€
55
56“No, it’s not like I’m doubting Sensei’s and Sai-kun’s relationship! And I didn’t think that to use this chance to check on that at all, so rest assured!†She said as she nervously slurped on her noodles.
57
58She really is bad at hiding things alright.
59
60“I don’t mind if you do that. We’re not doing anything that would spell any trouble if we were seen.â€
61
62She’s basically implying that we’re doing other stuff when we’re not in front of other people. Is she like trying to keep her in check with this?
63
64“And also, it would look weird if Saigi-kun and I suddenly started eating dinner together, so we’re using Amanashi-san as a camouflage.â€
65
66“Uwaa, this teacher really is using her precious students for something like that.â€
67
68It seems like there’s a calm battle going on in front of me. The people around us shouldn’t be able to hear, right? After all, Maka-sensei is the unobtainable flower that nobody should be able to get close to. Amanashi on the other hand should have her fair share of friends but their mix should be a weird sight to behold, not to mention when I’m sitting with them. For now though, it doesn’t look like anybody will approach us. Luckily.
69
70“Ahhh, but this salad really isn’t delicious at all. It feels like I’m biting on grass.â€
71
72“Weren’t you the one that took that the salad with you?!â€
73
74So she brought it with her to create another character like this. I knew that she isn’t the person she might look like, but is she trying to crush my image of her even more?
75
76“Eh? Wasn’t Maka-tea always saying that girls shouldn’t force themselves to eat salad all stoically?â€
77
78“High school girls are still naive. Having a certain degree of self-restraint is what makes one an adult.â€
79
80There’s the tension-filled atmosphere again.
81
82“It’s not like I love eating salad….Meat, I prefer meat much more.â€
83
84“Hm? Did you say something Maka-tea?â€
85
86It’s nothing. And stop calling me Maka-tea.â€
87
88The ‘-tea’ is probably from teacher. Well, not that it matters.
89
90And by the way, Amanashi might’ve not understood it, but I clearly heard what you said. You were eating that yakiniku like it was the best thing in the world. By the way, she ate too much and forced me to close my ears as she was paying. It was probably a dozen times more than what I pay for food on a daily basis.
91
92“Amanashi-san too, you shouldn’t be eating all that meat and sauce and maybe change to some grass—–excuse me, to some salad. You have to keep your beauty for your job, right?â€
93
94Ah, she’s trying to deepen her friendship with Amanashi, how adult-like of her.
95
96“Ehhhh~ But if I don’t eat any meat, I don’t get enough energy. And Sai-kun’s also eating a hamburger.â€
97
98“It’s fine, since it’s Saigi-kun. He should eat a lot of meat, and have enough energy for all the impure things he has to do in a relationship.â€
99
100“Woah, this teacher’s making preferences between students. And what do you mean with impure things!â€
101
102There are countless things I should retort on but I held back since I had some hamburger in my mouth. I still have to make my little sister understand that it’s bad manners to talk with a full mouth.
103
104“Hmpf. I don’t want to be scolded by Sensei when I’m eating as well. I have my own freedom when I’m eating!â€
105
106“You’re always sleeping in class you know. You have too much freedom with that.†Maka-sensei glared at Amanashi.
107
108And, it looked like she thought of something before she continued.
109
110“By the way Amanashi-san, how about you wear something over your blouse. It doesn’t go against school rules, but this sure is poison for the boy’s eyes.â€
111
112“But my chest feels so cramped. The blazer I bought when I entered this school doesn’t fit me at all anymore. These clothes are pretty expensive, ya know?â€
113
114“Don’t ‘ya know’ me. I know that the clothes of our institution are quite expensive. But I’d still advise you to adjust them to your current size. Not every boy here is as calm as Saigi-kun when it comes to their gazes.†With that, Maka-sensei practically started at Amanashi’s oversized breasts.
115
116I did the same and also practically stared at Amanashi’s oversized breasts——Not, because there’s no way I could do that. That was really close. I am the calm kid after all.
117
118“But, adjusting them is a bit….I might grow even more after all~ Gravure idols don’t get that much money, so I can’t waste it on something like this~â€
119
120“You still plan on growing? Just how big do you want them to be….? You’re going to seduce all these idiotic male students on this school.â€
121
122“……..â€
123
124It feels like she’s trying to point at one idiotic boy right here….Did she turn on her unobtainable flower mode? Is she okay?
125
126“It’s fine, it’s fine. I will only try to se—–sed——-seduce? an honest high school boy when I’m interested in him.â€
127
128“Your grades really are on the bare minimum. I guess I’ll have to report that to your japanese teacher.â€
129
130“Maka-tea, why would you do something as useless as that?â€
131
132“Try to appreciate the hard work of us teachers for once!â€
133
134My head hurts just from listening to them…And also, Amanashi is clearly speaking in a too-familiar tongue with Maka-sensei. Although that’s not exactly rare, Amanashi is taking it a bit too far I think.
135
136“Also, Maka-tea has big breasts too. Are you sure that you’re not seducing the other boys?â€
137
138“Seduce….I am an adult after all.â€
139
140“There are a lot of adults that don’t have any breasts. Ah, I see. Since Maka-tea is an adult, her breasts won’t grow anymore, huh. That means that you can never catch up to me, yay!â€
141
142“Ku……! S-Saigi-kun, you also said that it’s not good if they’re too big, right?!â€
143
144“I don’t really care since they’re not mine.â€
145
146I mean, be it Maka-sensei’s or Amanashi’s, I can’t fondle them myself, so it’s no use pondering about the size.
147
148“Mhm? But, both our chests belong to Sai-kun, you know? Aren’t you interested in their size and form? If you want, you can check mine anytime.â€
149
150“They don’t belong to me at all…..and who would even get happy about that?â€
151
152I have no idea anymore what this girl is saying.
153
154“That’s right, it’s just like Saigi-kun says. It doesn’t matter if they’re big, or pitifully small. What’s important is that they don’t belong to a gravure model that everyone can see but to Saigi-kun’s important lover.â€
155
156“……..â€
157
158Although I really would loved to retort that, I held myself back in case Amamashi got more suspicious about the two of us. But Sensei, your wording choice is getting worse by the second.
159
160“That’s a teacher for you….she says what she has to. Fu, thanks for the food. It was delicious as always.†Without any problems, she completely emptied her plate.
161
162I wonder if all those calories really go to her chest…
163
164“Ahh, oops. I should’ve bought a desert~ But it’s such a pain to choose from the menu~â€
165
166“Amanashi, you can still eat more?â€
167
168“Of course. Ahh, I can give Sai-kun a desert too~â€
169
170“Huh? Desert?â€
171
172If she has something, then she should just eat it herself.
173
174But, in that moment, my phone vibrated on the table.
175
176“Hehe, I sent you the desert~â€
177
178“…….?â€
179
180Before I even realized it, Amanashi had her phone out as well, having sent something to me via LINE.
181
182As I opened up that message——
183
184“Wha—!?â€
185
186W-What the hell did she just sent me?!
187
188A single photo was reflected on my screen.
189
190Her uniform is opened?! Why is she doing a hand bra?! And her breasts are barely hold back by her arm!
191
192“A-Amanashi, what in the world is this….?!â€
193
194“I’ll keep them coming! Here’s the next one!â€
195
196And with that, another photo came in. This time it was Amamashi wearing our school’s jersey. And, the upper part was almost completely unzipped—-which wouldn’t be too much of a problem.
197
198But she’s not wearing anything underneath?! Why aren’t you wearing a t-shirt under that?!
199
200“My desert won’t stop with just that!â€
201
202The third photo came in—-
203
204She’s once more wearing that jersey top, but this time she’s wearing bloomers instead of her jersey trousers! It’s the legendary bloomers + sitting while hugging your legs combo!
205
206
207“How is it, Sai-kun. My desert wasn’t all that bad, right? Ah, but don’t worry, these pictures were taken by some female friends of mine. The maximum I do at work are swimsuit shots after all.â€
208
209“If this isn’t for your job, then why did you take them?!â€
210
211“I enjoy taking pictures even when I’m not on the job. Remember how I told you I would send you other photos before? Well, here ya go, this time it’s your desert!â€
212
213“Stimulation doesn’t count as desert in my eyes though….â€
214
215“Thanks for the food. Now, Amanashi-san.â€
216
217Ah, I completely forgot she was present too.
218
219“Let’s go to a nice place. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt.â€
220
221“Eh? W-Wait, Maka-tea? Where are we going?â€
222
223Maka-sensei grabbed Amanashi by the heck without any hesitation and pulled her away.
224
225“It seems like we have to move forward more quickly with the plan…..†Maka-sensei added.
226
227And with that, the two of them left the cafeteria. But in that moment, I received a message.
228
229‘Delete the photos.’
230
231“W-Woah, commanding tone, huh…..â€
232
233It seems like Maka-sensei happened to see all the photos that Amanashi sent me. Well, I guess this would’ve ended the same way if it was a different teacher….Although it feels like a shame to delete Amanashi’s pictures, I guess I have no other choice now that she’s that much in unobtainable flower mode.
234
235Ahh…..after class is the best when I’m not getting called over by Maka-sensei….! Wait, that should be the normal standard. Although I was a bit worried after her last phrase, I could go home without any further delay. After that crazy lunch, I could finally spend the rest of my day in peace. Finally, FINALLY.
236
237My home is a mansion close to the train station. And, on the 8th floor, there is my home sweet home, a three room apartment, combined living room, dining room, and kitchen. It was perfect for a family with 1 or 2 children. And, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened.
238
239“I’m glad that I got to take my time with shopping. Fu, that was heavy.†I put down the stuff I bought on the kitchen floor.
240
241Although I was constantly on edge, thinking that Maka-sensei would suddenly come out of nowhere. I managed to buy everything I needed. Now that I think about it, students often go home rather early, but that’s not the same for the teachers. Maybe I could be a bit softer towards my teachers.
242
243“Oh, Onii-chan. You’re home already. Welcome home~ Are you, like, lost in thought or something? You won’t be popular if you act so suspiciously.â€
244
245“…I’m home…..Well, I’ll pay attention to that.â€
246
247So you’re going to jab me like that as soon as I get home, my little sister?
248
249Miharu was rolling around on the sofa in the living room as she looked towards the kitchen with a bothersome expression. As you can see, the Miharu at home is always this harsh towards me. When we were kids, she would always cling to, saying “Onii-tan Onii-tan!†but now she’s completely changed. Right now, it seems like she’s just waiting for me to give her a chance to badmouth me.
250
251“Miharu’s pretty fast today too. How about you take a bit more time when you walk home? Might be a bit refreshing.â€
252
253“Naah, sounds like a pain. Being home’s the best cause we have everything. There’s a bed, a sofa, food, everything’s automatic, I can take a bath whenever I want, I can wash my clothes and panties. Home is paradise, I tell you.â€
254
255“….Yeah, you’re right.â€
256
257Although it’s neither automatic, nor it’s the fairy that’s doing the work but just the hard work of your big brother. And, the sofa she was currently lying on turned into her special place that only belonged to her.
258
259Currently, she was wearing a long-sleeved parka and short-pants. Of course, everything was oversized to her own comfort. Just one year ago, she was going around the house showing her panties at every possible occasion. As her big brother, I’m happy that she learned to feel some embarrassment. But, why does she have a hood on her parka? Is she like a vampire that’s weak against the sunlight? After all, she always wears this stuff, even when she goes out. That would be perfectly fine if she only went to the convenience store, but I really wish she’d style herself up a bit more.
260
261“Onii-chan, what will you make for dinner? Miharu wishes for some tasty meat, yes.â€
262
263“That’s what I thought, which is why I will be making steamed pork. With a lot of meat extra for Miharu.â€
264
265As he heard my words, her eyes lit up. My little sister really likes spiced-up food. And, although I’m self-aware of it, I keep spoiling her like this. After all, both the family register and our DNA clearly state that she is without fault my biological younger sister. It seems like it is worth spending more money for her, as long as she stops jabbing me at every chance.
266
267For now, I put the fruits of battle into the fridge and cabinets, went to my own room to change into something more comfortable, only to return back to the kitchen. As I returned, Miharu was still in the same position, glaring at her phone for some reason. Taking out some sweet ice tea for my little sister, I started the preparations for dinner. Just as one would suspect, I am the one doing most of the housework. Our parents are mostly overseas and are rarely home. It seems like it’s related to their jobs but since they are almost never home, it feels a bit fishy. They’re not involved in illegal trafficking somewhere, right?
268
269Miharu doesn’t seem too unhappy about it either because she can use our parents’ bedroom for an extra storage room. Since she’s often buying game related stuff, her room can’t handle all the different boxes and so on. Once our parents come home, they probably wont have a place to sleep since even their bed is unusable. But, my parents are even softer towards Miharu so they probably wouldn’t even mind. When they come home once in a while, they often sleep in sleeping bags.
270
271But, to sum it up, my household might be a bit weird, but that’s mostly because of my little sister.
272
273“Uwa, I died because of the fire again! Ahh, how many Onii-chan cards do I have left….â€
274
275…..None, because they don’t exist.
276
277As always, my little sister was completely lost in her social game on her smartphone.
278
279“That reminds me Onii-chan. Is it true that Fujiki-sensei and Nui-chan-senpai were fighting this lunchbreak?â€
280
281“Mhm? Why do you know that? Where you also there at the cafeteria?â€
282
283“I bought bread from the convenience store and ate it in my classroom. I received a lot of information from LINE.â€
284
285Figures….it’s not like they were fighting but they did eat their feed next to each other. I was nothing but a bystander.â€
286
287“Ahh, so Onii-chan was also there. Nobody was talking about you though.â€
288
289“Figures…..â€
290
291There is no way that someone would pay attention to a small fry like me when our school’s most popular, beautiful teacher and our school’s most popular gravure idol were next to each other like that.
292
293“By the way Miharu…..â€
294
295“Don’t call your little sister without a honorific!â€
296
297“I’ve been calling you that since ages! Don’t just start a fight because of that!â€
298
299Ahh, I really can’t read my little sister’s intention at all. But, that might’ve saved me a bit. If we really kept talking about Maka-sensei and Amanashi, the topic of her being in love with me might’ve come up. You really can’t read that off her face, and she’s not at that age where she could drink alcohol. Normally, since she’s my little sister, there should be no way that she feels that way for me. Or rather that certain type of ‘like’ is unnatural. Just to be clear, I really can’t believe that Miharu would rave romantic feelings for me. After all, she only thinks only of me as a voice machine to open the entrance door.
300
301“Ah.â€
302
303“Mhm? Did you get excited remembering Nui-chan-senpai’s breasts?â€
304
305“As if. There’s something I forgot to buy so I will be going out a bit.â€
306
307I completely forgot the desert because I was too wary of Maka-sensei. Whenever Miharu doesn’t get a desert, her mood gets spoiled immediately. And even I’m not that skilled to produce a worthy desert. Across our mansion is a convenience store. Since she really likes sweets, it’s a big help that I don’t have to run to a cake store every time. Putting on a jacket, I stepped out of the entrance.
308
309“If it isn’t Saigi-kun. You’re leaving now?â€
310
311“Yes, I have to get something from the convenience store.â€
312
313Since Maka-sensei was greeting me, I slightly bowed my head. Oh, it’s close to 7pm. already. Maybe it’s not so bad being a teacher if you get to go home at this hour.
314
315“It’s gotten pretty dark so please be careful. Or rather, since I’m already here, I’ll go with you. It’s right around the corner after all.â€
316
317“No, I can’t take you up on that offer—–Huh?†As I headed towards the elevator, I came to a sudden stop and turned around. “Maka-sensei!? Why are you here?!â€
318
319“…….Because I came?â€
320
321“That’s not what I wanted to hear!â€
322
323Maka-sensei was wearing her usual suit with a handheld bag in her arm. Adding to that, she also had a shopping bag from a supermarket in her hand.
324
325“What are you saying? This here is the Fujiki residence, right next to Saigi’s home.â€
326
327“…….Excuse me?â€
328
329Maka-sensei pointed at the door next to ours. What met my sight was the apartment number plus her name.
330
331“Eh? W-Wait a moment….this really is your home….?â€
332
333“Yes, I’m sorry for the late greeting. I’m Fujiki Maka. Looking forward to get to know you, Mr. Neighbour.†She lowered her head in a cute manner.
334
335I-Impossible….T-The enemy has already invaded my safe space….you say….?
336
337“S-Sorry for intruding….â€
338
339“Don’t hold back, Saigi-kun. Just come on in.â€
340
341To no surprise, the entrance looked exactly the same as the own in my home. Though the items greeting me were different.
342
343“I’m going to come in~†Miharu said as she followed me.
344
345She realized that I was still standing in the entrance at home, which is why she came over to check.
346
347“Hold back a bit will you, Miharu-san. You have a home to go back to.â€
348
349“Your answer is way too different! Does Fujiki-sensei, like, hate Miharu or something?!â€
350
351“I like your DNA.â€
352
353“Miharu is pretty popular, but this has to be a first!â€
354
355So we’re talking about DNA again?
356
357“Leaving out the DNA part for now, is this really Maka-sensei’s home?â€
358
359“Me having the key should be proof enough, right? I’m sorry, I don’t have any guest slippers yet. I don’t get guests that often after all.â€
360
361“That sounds really lonely…..â€
362
363The Saigi household also doesn’t have a lot of guests, but we have at least a few from time to time. Like Miharu’s friends or our parents.
364
365Ah right, our parents don’t count as guests. So the only people that come to visit are Miharu’s friends after all. But leaving that aside for now, the Fujiki household looked exactly the same like ours. From the hallway to the living room. She does have a sofa and TV but that’s all.
366
367Thank god she didn’t put up any photos or posters of me….
368
369“…I mean, this looks like you’ve just moved in…When did you….?â€
370
371“I’d really like to know what ‘I mean’ is supposed to say but it’s just like you say. Just at the end of last year.â€
372
373Right now is Golden Week, so it really was just recently. Though I remember some trucks from a moving-management company, so it really seems to be true.
374
375“It’s also a first for Miharu to be here. The first time she greeted Miharu, Fujiki-sensei came over to our house after all.â€
376
377“Ha?! Miharu, you new that Maka-sensei was living next to us?!â€
378
379“She came to give her greetings right after she moved. She even gave us some sweets.â€
380
381“I don’t remember any sweets….?â€
382
383The kitchen is my playground. I would’ve seen sweets if there were any…..
384
385“They looked so delicious, which is why Miharu ate them all herself. Her gluttony knows no limits….â€
386
387“Don’t act like you were like this since you were born!â€
388
389No, that’s not the problem here! Why didn’t you tell me that we had a new neighbour!
390
391“Well, I didn’t want to say hello immediately. First and foremost was the confession, and then this as a surprise, you know?â€
392
393“To me, everything was a surprise, you know….?†I said with an astonished expression, but Maka-sensei showed no signs of responding.
394
395This person really has a strong mentality, I see.
396
397“For now, the two of you can sit down. Saigi-kun, are you fine with some tea? Miharu-san should be fine without.â€
398
399“Although Miharu isn’t on the same level as Onii-chan, but if you come at her like this, she’ll also get quite twisted and rude.â€
400
401“Fufufu, little girl~â€
402
403“Hahaha, big girl~â€
404
405Sparks were flying between Maka-sensei and Miharu. I guess I should be glad that I didn’t come back to a bloodbath when they first greeted each other.
406
407“Miharu isn’t here to spy on you like Nui-chan-senpai did. It’s not like you two would be doing anything weird when you’re alone.†She said as she left the apartment.
408
409This person is going to do something weird, you know? It looks like SID still doesn’t know of Maka-sensei’s true nature.
410
411“I didn’t expect her to really go home like this…what a good girl Miharu-san is. My evaluation of her as a student suddenly went up, not good.â€
412
413“Yes, that really is no good….â€
414
415I really wish that you wouldn’t spoil her grades just because she left me alone in the lion’s den. Miharu really isn’t dumb or anything, but she’s not studying at all which doesn’t really help.
416
417“We’re finally alone, Saigi-kun!â€
418
419“Woah!â€
420
421She suddenly clung to me without any preparations at all, making me let out a weird voice in response.
422
423“What are you doing Sensei! That conversation with Miharu just now was way too close! Are you giving up on your unobtainable flower character?!â€
424
425At this rate, it’ll only be a matter of time until SID finds out how she really is like. The only thing she seems to be trying to hide is her excessive skinship with me.
426
427“They won’t see through me with just that. They’ll just think that I can get a bit scary.â€
428
429“I hope that you’re right….â€
430
431If it’s Miharu, we could maybe bribe her with sweets.
432
433“Rather than that, Saigi-kun. I apologize for surprising you.â€
434
435“That’s fine but….did you move here on purpose?â€
436
437“I was surprised too that my home would be right next to Saigi-kun. This must be the work of the gods above, blessing us.â€
438
439“As if! Please don’t move just because of me!
440
441Just how quick is she to act? Well, for a teacher, it wouldn’t be too much of a hassle to find out a student’s address…..Wow, she really is misusing her influence.
442
443“And also, this mansion here is clearly made for small families. Just why did you move in here alone?â€
444
445“Here, your tea. It wasn’t all that easy you know.â€
446
447She put two tea cups down on the table in front of the sofa, and sat down next to me.
448
449“Actually, this apartment is supposed to be for me and my father.â€
450
451“Your father?â€
452
453Now that she says it, she told me the story of how her family scattered…..
454
455“Though, my father won’t be living here. He’s just the head of the household in name.â€
456
457“I see…and, what is your father doing then?â€
458
459I didn’t mean to pry into her affairs but I kind of got interested while listening.
460
461“After he had lost everything, he changed into a monster that can’t trust another person.â€
462
463“Monster?!â€
464
465“He started a cat cafe that got very popular, and now he’s very famous in that branche.â€
466
467“Good for him!â€
468
469Ahhh, I’m glad that he’s not my dad!
470
471“Well, right after he went bankrupt, we didn’t have anything to eat, so he had planned to sell of his daughter to Macau.â€
472
473“Please don’t name a specific place! And isn’t that a rather popular sightseeing place?!â€
474
475No, not that! When she says daughter, it’s about Maka-sensei, right?! I really wish she wouldn’t tell me such a dirty story.
476
477“Still, even now my father can be a bit weird. He often says weird stuff like ‘If only Maka was a cat too…..’â€
478
479“He really can only see cats anymore, huh……â€
480
481Not necessarily bad as a cat cafe owner, but certainly bad as her father.
482
483“And said father is now living inside his cat cafe, because he doesn’t need anything else according to him.â€
484
485“Should he really be saying that to his own daughter?â€
486
487“I don’t need anything besides Saigi-kun. For example, Miharu-san.â€
488
489“Well, of course you’d be fine without her…..â€
490
491Sometimes even I don’t need—–no, that’s not true. She might a bit sluggish, and hard on my wallet, but she’s still my precious little sister.
492
493“Since I found this mansion, I blackmailed—–excuse me, begged my father so that ‘we’ could move here.â€
494
495“Is that really fine for a student and teacher to live next to each other?â€
496
497It’s not really impossible, but it’s Maka-sensei we’re talking about.
498
499“It was just a coincidence. I mean, even if somebody found out, I should have no reason to move next to Saigi-kun, right?â€
500
501“That might be true….â€
502
503And to be fair, every student would hate it if a teacher moved next to them. That’s the same the other way around though. If I was a teacher, I’d hate living next to a student. When I get home, I want to forget about my job.
504
505“But to think that you moved here…..well, if it’s with your father together, paying the rent shouldn’t be any problem.â€
506
507“No, I will be the one paying the rent. It’s my home after all. Now that I’m at this age, I can’t have my parents pay the rent, right?â€
508
509“Excuse me? This mansion is aimed for small families, right? Isn’t the rent pretty high?â€
510
511Of course, I’m not the one paying rent for our home, and don’t know the exact amount. And, although it might be an older building, the location is pretty advantageous, like the train station is close and all.
512
513“It’s true that most of my wage goes into the rent here.â€
514
515“You didn’t have to move here at all!â€
516
517“Don’t worry, humans can survive of rice and hot water.â€
518
519“Yes, but you will only survive with nothing else!â€
520
521How can I sleep at night when she’s dying of hunger next to my home?!
522
523“….Sorry, Sensei was just pretending. Actually, I’m also getting money from my father…..Since I’m an adult…..an adult…….I couldn’t say that I would still get money from my father…..â€
524
525“That cat cafe is nothing but a shop right. Since this here officially is your father’s home, there’s nothing to be ashamed of……â€
526
527Why would you even get depressed about that. Maka-sensei is still young and her wage isn’t all that high.
528
529“Saigi-kun….thank you. I had actually planned to treat you to some dinner, but I don’t have anything great to offer you.â€
530
531“N-No it’s fine. You already payed the yakiniku for me. And I have to prepare dinner for Miharu at home anyway.â€
532
533I wonder if we’ll eat dinner together at this rate.
534
535“But, I finally got a guest, so I can’t just let you go home like this. It would hurt the pride of the Fujiki household.â€
536
537“H-Having a guest really isn’t that special.â€
538
539Ah, I got a bad feeling about this.
540
541“Ah perfect timing, I wanted to move forward with the education. So, I will be showing you around my home.â€
542
543“Figures….â€
544
545I mean, she came out of her way to move right next to me, so of course she’s going to use that close distance.
546
547“Don’t worry, I will properly entertain you. Please look forward to it ♡â€
548
549I heard the rustling of clothes. Taking off the top of her suit, she followed by lowering her skirt. As she also took off her stockings, I saw her black panties. Slowly opening up every button of her blouse, her black bra entered my sight. Now that she took off her blouse, only her underwear was left….With a few touches, her bra fell off and—–
550
551“Ah, Saigi-kun. You can take of the blindfold if you want.â€
552
553“……….â€
554
555That concludes my scene where the beautiful teacher is stripping.
556
557Carefully taking off the blindfold, I could see what was in front of me.
558
559“Oh wow, you really took it off…now that’s a bit embarrassing, even for me.â€
560
561“You told me to take them off…and what are these clothes?!â€
562
563“Since we’ll be entering the bath soon, it would make sense to change into these clothes.â€
564
565“T-That might be true but….!â€
566
567The only thing that stopped me from seeing her naked body was a bath-towel.
568
569This is the dressing room before the bath of the Fujiki residence. For some reason, I changed into a pair of swimming trunks, and it was only the two of us inside here.
570
571“What in the world happened for it to end up like this…..â€
572
573“This is a token of our newfound neighbourship.â€
574
575Still…in what world would a teacher invite her pupil into her bath like this…Though I did put on a blindfold while she was stripping.
576
577“And why do you have the perfect size for my swimsuit….?â€
578
579“Having a naked relationship is part of my educational curriculum. But, being completely naked would be a bit too high of a hurdle, right? Since I got every data related to your body—-excuse me, I could guess the size just from looking. I’m an adult after all!â€
580
581“………â€
582
583So she checked my data just for this… I wonder if this thing called privacy still exists in today’s world.
584
585“Don’t mind it, don’t mind it.â€
586
587“S-Sensei…â€
588
589Maka-sensei tapped me on the back as she entered the bath. And said bath looks almost identical to our own home.
590
591“Now then, I’ll start with cleaning Saigi-kun. Ahh~ to be honest, I always wanted to wash Saigi-kun like this. It’s like a dream came true!â€
592
593“Can you not have some more serious ambitions?â€
594
595She started washing my chest and my back.
596
597Ahh, thank god she didn’t wash my lower body…..
598
599“Alright then, now it’s Saigi-kun’s turn.â€
600
601“Eh?â€
602
603Maka-sensei sat down in front of me. And, she took off her bath-towel, revealing her white back to me—-hey?!
604
605“I-I’m supposed to wash Sensei too?!â€
606
607“O-Of course, we’re in the bath after all, so it’s fine…..be gentle, okay?â€
608
609“……..â€
610
611As I looked down at her, I couldn’t see her butt, but I could see her back with the traces of the bra. And if she only moved slightly, I could see her side-boobs! I know I’m not supposed to look but I surely won’t hold back here, you know!
612
613“Y-You can only wash my back. A-Anything else, I would probably die from embarrassment. Do you know? Most of the people that die at home die in the bath.â€
614
615“You surely won’t die from just embarrassment!â€
616
617“…There’s a reason for this. Saigi-kun, when you received these sexy photos from Amanashi-san, you were quite shocked right? I have to erase them from your memories.â€
618
619“Uuu…….â€
620
621T-That reasoning again…!
622
623Well, it’s true that private photos from a gravure mode have more impact than that erotic teacher video we watched a while ago. To erase that from my memory, she’d have to do more than that, but still…
624
625“I-I will only wash your back, okay?â€
626
627“Y-Yes, my back. Really gentle, okay?â€
628
629Ugh….this is the complete opposite of a calm afternoon. There are one, no two dangerous events happening at once. To think that I would be washing my homeroom teacher’s back like this…Woah, her skin is so white, and soft. And it’s extremely slim…now if I just look a bit further down——Wait, no no no! Looking down is no good! Calm down, and not think about that.
630
631Taking the body-towel into my hands, I started scrubbing—-
632
633“Ahnnnnn……â€
634
635“Please don’t let out a weird voice like that!â€
636
637“I-I’m not doing it on purpose. Saigi-kun is just so good at it….â€
638
639“As if! I’m not even taking a bath with my sister anymore…â€
640
641“That makes sense. Until when did you enter the bath together with her?â€
642
643“Uhm…a bit before I entered high school.â€
644
645“So only about one year ago?!â€
646
647“Sensei, don’t turn around!â€
648
649For a second, I saw her bouncing breasts. They were bouncing like crazy! I almost saw the part she was hiding with her hand bra.
650
651
652“A-Apologies. B-But you are fifteen, and Miharu-san is fourteen, right?!â€
653
654“That’s right, yes. Since she thinks that it’s a pain to do it, I had to force myself and wash her hair and body.†She even kept her hair growing because she couldn’t be bothered with cutting it. “Though, after we became high school students, we stopped it because it would only get weird.â€
655
656“It should’ve been weird when you entered middle school!â€
657
658“…Is that so? That was pretty normal for us.â€
659
660For some reason, her breathing was getting rough.
661
662It’s not like Miharu or I really minded. Though we never told anyone about it.
663
664“T-To think that there was such a development in the Saigi household… not good, as a teacher, I have to make sure that nothing bad will happened between these two siblings…..â€
665
666“………?â€
667
668You don’t have to worry about it that much. I’m really only looking after my little sister.
669
670“And, we’re done, Sensei.â€
671
672Thanks to the story about Miharu, my attention went away from her soft looking back. This might be the first time that she actually was of use to me….
673
674“I-I’ll wash it away…Excuse me.â€
675
676I took the shower head into my hand and slowly heightened the water power—-
677
678“Kyaaaa… so cold…!â€
679
680“Eh? Ah, I’m sorry!â€
681
682Washing the back of Maka-sensei—
683
684Completely brought me out of my concept and I accidentally poured cold water on her instead of hot water.
685
686“R-Really Saigi-kun, you didn’t do that on purpose, did you?!â€
687
688“You’re wro—-wait, don’t suddenly stand up!â€
689
690Being surprised by the sudden cold water splashing on her back, she stood up and—
691
692In front of my eyes, in front of my eyes……! Maka-sensei’s butt! Nothing hidden at all! Her white, slippery-looking butt with the small traces of her panties, right in front of my eyes!
693
694“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!â€
695
696Letting out a loud scream, she wrapped the towel around her body again.
697
698“D-Did you….see?†She had tears in her eyes as she said that.
699
700“I-If you don’t properly address what you want to know, then the students can’t properly answer you….â€
701
702“Are you excited to see my buttocks?!â€
703
704“Why are you speaking english!? Ah right, she’s an english teacher!â€
705
706The both of us were really confused it seems.
707
708It wasn’t all that difficult english but I didn’t understand it at all! I have to say something….
709
710“Ah, uhm, y-yesu!â€
711
712“So you really did see….muu, pervert.â€
713
714“S-Sorry.â€
715
716Maka-sensei was red until her ears and she glared at me with tears in her eyes.
717
718A cute adult saying cute stuff like “Pervert†has too much of an impact…..! Still, what kind of rom-com event is this supposed to be…and it’s with my teacher. But—her try to overwrite Amanashi’s photos attempt did work, a little bit.
719
720Soothing the damaged Maka-sensei, I left the bath. Like that, I hurriedly put on clothes in the dressing room, let Maka-sensei know that I would be going and dashed out of the appartement. After what happened, I couldn’t exactly stay there after all.
721
722“Ha…….â€
723
724My heart that was beating like crazy slowly started to calm down. Ahh, to think that the hallway to my own apartment would be this calming.
725
726Still—doesn’t this prove everything? The possibility that she moved here by pure chance still stands. But, that is too much of a coincidence. That’s too unrealistic. And, considering Maka-sensei’s personality, it seems like she just planned this from the beginning. And, there shouldn’t be any reason why she would take a bath together with me other than that.
727
728So, does she really like me—-
729
730“…..Mhm?â€
731
732“……!â€
733
734At the corner of the hallway, a shadow moved. Someone was looking at me, right? And, that face looked oddly familiar.
735
736“Kisou-san….?â€
737
738I thought I had seen her wearing some frilly clothes.
739
740Was that really Kisou-san…? I didn’t hear anything that she was living in the same mansion. And even though she’s just a classmate, I’d surely remember that.
741
742“…..I do like the perverted Saigi-kun too.â€
743
744“Please put on some clothes already!â€
745
746Before I realized it, the door at my back slightly opened, and Maka-sensei poked her head out. Although the door was hiding most of her body, I could still see that she was only wearing a bath towel.
747
748I really wish she’d stop stimulating me like that….
749
750Maka-sensei, weren’t you the unobtainable flower?!
751
752A few days after the incident at the Fujiki residence—
753
754Sunday. The most soothing day in a student’s life. Especially after having six days of school in a row, because at Seikadai academy, they torture us with school on Saturdays too. That is why it is extremely important to completely forgot about school on this precious day.
755
756I don’t go out with friends today. And, please spare me the retort that I just don’t have any friends to begin with. Anyway, although I don’t play with friends or anything, I still go out quite frequently. Since my cat-like little sister sleeps until noon, she doesn’t need any breakfast. And, since we did have leftovers from yesterday’s dinner, she can just warm that up for lunch. Having finished cleaning and washing everything, I could now enjoy some enjoyable free time. Just before the beginning of Golden Week, a lot of new movies started screening at the cinemas. I could also enjoy some time in a soothing cafe. Alternatively, I could sing my heart out at a karaoke bar or let out some stress at the game-center. Though I don’t really have the money for that, but I still have a lot of options.
757
758“That being said, I still don’t go out that often. It’s only a little bit since our director grants me a bit of free time.â€
759
760“Woah, so the cloisters are also getting more modern, huh. Actually, I’m also not going out that often. Although I have a lot of friends, but most of them are just on the superficial level. Ahahaha.â€
761
762“Nui-oneesan, this isn’t something to laugh about though…Other than my school or to Sensei’s place, I was told not to go anywhere else….â€
763
764“Well, Kuu-chan’s a grade schooler after all. Miharu could go anywhere she wants but it’s too much of a hassle, so she mostly sends out Onii-chan!â€
765
766“……â€
767
768Karen-kaichou, Amanashi, Kuu and even my little sister…
769
770The moment I entered a hamburger shop because I was hungry, of course the four of them were present. Since corners are always calming, I seeked out a seat in the deeper parts of the store. The four from SID were sitting close to the register. As they sat at the windows, the people that walked by often stopped to look at the four beauties through the glass.
771
772Karen-kaichou was wearing something completely different today: A girly one-piece.
773
774Amanashi had a tank-top on with cut-off shoulder parts. Down from her hips were fairly short hotpants.
775
776Kuu on her part was wearing a thin pullover and a mini skirt which perfectly fit her childish looks.
777
778Miharu was……wearing the same clothes you would wear on a trip to a convenience store. A parka + short pants combo, with the hoodie put on.
779
780Everyone was wearing different clothes, but they all looked cute nonetheless. Yep, I have to admit that.
781
782“But, why are you all here? Did you know that I would be going here?â€
783
784“Don’t sweat the small stuff! It’s not like Miharun told us anything!â€
785
786“Hey, Nui-chan-senpai! Don’t say any necessary stuff!â€
787
788“…….â€
789
790Miharu, did you put a transmitter on me or anything? As doubting as I am, I always turn around to check if I’m being tailed. I wonder if they’re actually that easy to get like in the movies?
791
792“Thanks for waiting. It’s been so long since I’ve visited this store that I was hesitating a bit.â€
793
794“……Why is Sensei here too…..â€
795
796Having a tablet in her hand, she brought a hamburger and something to drink with her as she sat down in front of me, wearing a jacket with a frilly long skirt, making her look like a neat and clean young lady.
797
798Shit, she’s cute. Beautiful. She’s really hitting all the marks for me….wait, no no.
799
800It seems like she completely got over the shock from a few days ago. Just what you would expect from an adult. Even though it still enters my mind from time to time…guess I’m still a kid.
801
802“And, why are you here, Sensei?â€
803
804“I mean, we live next doors. I got wind of you leaving.â€
805
806“…Are you sure that it’s not because of Miharu? I mean, she’s right there after all.â€
807
808“Miharu-san always sleeps in late on Sundays. Even I have researched that far.â€
809
810“On point……â€
811
812She only got up because I went out probably.
813
814“But, that’s not important right now! So because you realized I was going out, you decided to follow me?!â€
815
816“It’s such a nice Sunday, so it would be a waste to spend it at home.â€
817
818“There’s no need to follow me though. Though that’s the same for these people over there!â€
819
820As I turned around to glare at them, they didn’t even flinch. Well, Kuu seems to be a bit flustered at least.
821
822“It doesn’t matter that SID is here. It looks like it’s just me and Saigi-kun here. They pull all the attention to them. I guess SID can be useful in it’s own way.â€
823
824“You shouldn’t talk about using them since they’re still your pupils.â€
825
826And although she says that they draw a lot of attention to them, the impact of Maka-sensei in her casual clothes is too strong…..
827
828“Since it’s Sunday, we’re not teacher and students. It’s important to split up work and private life after all.â€
829
830“Then, since I’m not on school grounds, I don’t have to listen to Sensei, right?â€
831
832“No, you better listen to me. If you don’t want to get hurt that is.â€
833
834“What are you going to do?!â€
835
836“I’m joking. Besides, will there ever be a time when you’ll calmly listen to me? You’re rioting most of the time. Well, that makes it more worth to discipline—-excuse me, educate you.â€
837
838“Well, it’s mostly because I didn’t meet any teachers that I could respect until now, which is why I’m always talking back.â€
839
840“I see, so until you entered high school, you didn’t meet any teachers that you could respect.â€
841
842“……â€
843
844Looks like she wants to make me say that I finally met one.
845
846“But still, it feels great eating junk food like this once in a while. The sexual feeling is amazing.â€
847
848“Sexual feeling…this kanji combo doesn’t mean what you think it does…â€
849
850She probably wanted to say that the feeling of eating meat is amazing.
851
852But still, this is a cheap burger shop so the meant isn’t that amazing.
853
854“Maka-sensei, you don’t often go to these kinds of shops, right?â€
855
856“But you see, wouldn’t that be a moe point for boys to see a sheltered Ojou-sama like me go to a normal hamburger shop like this?â€
857
858“That only happens in fiction….â€
859
860In today’s society, being sheltered doesn’t happen that often anymore anyway. This shouldn’t be her first time coming here either. And also, she shouldn’t be that much of an Ojou-sama.
861
862“Hm….Miharu doesn’t really understand what they’re saying. What do you think, President-san? Do you think that Onii-chan and Fujiki-sensei are serious? What kind of communication level are they? 10 maybe?â€
863
864(TLC: https://www.ovrdrv.com/10-levels-of-intimacy-in-todays-communication/ )
865
866“Even if you ask me that….The only thing I can see from there is Fujiki-sensei’s evil aura.â€
867
868Both my little sister and President were talking in a voice loud enough for me to hear.
869
870Oh that’s right, we’re still deceiving them to think that Maka-sensei and I are dating.
871
872“It seems like Karen-kaichou also feels something like that from Sensei as you can see.â€
873
874“Maybe she holds the qualifications to become an exorcist. That’s only because she knows me to a certain degree. Don’t worry, the only one that saw my dark aura without any background knowledge was Saigi-kun after all.â€
875
876“No, it’s not that I thought it was dark or anything…â€
877
878She’s still wrapped in mystery, even after seeing her real personality. Twice that is.
879
880“Ah, but it really is a shame.â€
881
882“What is?â€
883
884As I responded, Maka-sensei looked towards SID.
885
886“It’s finally our day off. I wanted to feed Saigi-kun with some fires and give him my two hamburgers to eat.â€
887
888“I don’t get what you mean with the second one though……â€
889
890Maybe that I put my face in her breasts and motorboat? Man, she really never stops with her assault…
891
892“Well yeah, you don’t want SID to find out about the real you.â€
893
894“Of course. The only thing they know is that I like Saigi-kun.â€
895
896Still, I think that you showed plenty of faces to them that you wouldn’t show other students. She’s barely keeping up her unobtainable flower mode at times.
897
898“It’s fine if only Saigi-kun knows about the real me.â€
899
900“……!â€
901
902W-What is this person doing….!
903
904Under the table, she’s touching my feet with her own. Her feet, wrapped in her long dress are gently patting mine. Even though this is just meant as child’s play, it feels very erotic….
905
906
907“S-Sensei….â€
908
909“Haaa, this is the only thing that I can do. I wonder if they could finally go home now since I’ve showed them a standard date.â€
910
911“S-Standard…?â€
912
913Is doing something like this under the table really standard?
914
915“Ahh, I wanted to be more lovey-dovey. Maybe if I give them some pocket money, they’ll go somewhere else— Hic.â€
916
917“Hic?â€
918
919Suddenly, Maka-sensei’s body twitched.
920
921“M-My apologies, I completely forgot about that…… Hicâ€
922
923“……?â€
924
925Another twitch. She even separated her legs under the table. Not like I’m sad about that or anything.
926
927“Did something happen, Sensei?â€
928
929N-No…I forgot it when I ordered my cola but I often get hiccups from the carbon acid.â€
930
931“Is that so?â€
932
933“I-It happens from time to time. Since I didn’t drink anything with carbon acid recently, I completely forgot about that. Hicâ€
934
935“……â€
936
937Wow, the person in question is clearly troubled by it, but she somehow looks really cute, going hic hic hic all over the place. Seeing as how she’s getting red because of the embarrassment is also cute. How terrifying….
938
939“How cunning… even though she’s the neat and clean idol, she’s still cunning like this, our homeroom teach.â€
940
941“Not to mention her clothes. I tried to put on some more girly clothes too, but I still can’t beat Fujiki-sensei. And it fits her too perfectly. Are we all going to look as cute as her when we’re 24?â€
942
943“The me fourteen years later….I can’t imagine that.†Kuu shook her head.
944
945In fourteen years, Kuu will probably still look ‘cute’.
946
947“Ah, Sensei. How about you drink some of my ice tea? I didn’t drink more than a half at most.â€
948
949“Eh, really? Thank you, Saigi-kun.â€
950
951I gave her the cup with a smile. In return, Maka-sensei give me the rest of her cola. Since I won’t get the hiccups, I can drink it just fine.
952
953“………Mhm?â€
954
955Isn’t this the place where I should make a remark that this would be an indirect kiss? Maka-sensei also seems to be hesitating. No wait, why would she be hesitating at that after everything we’ve done these past few days.
956
957“…Can I take that straw with me?â€
958
959“……â€
960
961Just what you would expect from an adult, she’s not hesitating at all just because of an indirect kiss. Without paying any mind to that, I took a good sip of the cola.
962
963“Sensei, excuse me for a bit.â€
964
965Notifying that I would take a trip to the toilet, I stood up.
966
967As if they had been waiting for that, Karen-kaichou and the others were gathering around Maka-sensei, pestering her about that straw and the indirect kiss and whatnot.
968
969Maybe I’ll take my time until I return…..
970
971Having finished my business, I saw a poster inside the shop and decided to take a closer look, completely on a whim.
972
973Ohh, a new menu, huh. soft, plump eggs and big meat slices for the hamburger. Looks delicious.
974
975“Fujiki-sensei’s lips are also so plump…..â€
976
977“Eh?â€
978
979Hearing that voice, I turned around and there was—
980
981“Saigi, you’re thinking about these indecent things?â€
982
983“K-Kisou-san?â€
984
985For some reason, she was wearing gothic lolita clothes. Although I had to check twice because I didn’t see her private clothes yet, it was without a doubt Kisou Tenka-san.
986
987“Eh, w-wait…â€
988
989Before I could say anything, Kisou-san grabbed me by the arm and pulled me deeper into the shop.
990
991“W-What’s wrong? And why is Kisou-san here too?â€
992
993This hamburger shop is serving too many acquaintances of mine.
994
995“I walked past it by pure coincidence, by pure will I entered. Familiar faces are here, obviously.â€
996
997“W-Well, yeah….?â€
998
999You can just tell me without making it sound like a rap.
1000
1001But, if she knew all these people, why did she come to me first?
1002
1003“About me, it matters not. Rather than that—â€
1004
1005“………!â€
1006
1007Kisou-san pushed me against a wall and slapped her hand on said wall behind me.
1008
1009“Eh? A kabe-don?â€
1010
1011“To think that I would be the one to pull my first kabe-don ever.†She said as she looked up at me.
1012
1013Well, it’s the same for me as well, not to mention that I’m the one being pushed against the wall by a girl that’s tinier than me.
1014
1015“Listen to what I’m about to tell you, Saigi.â€
1016
1017“W-What is it?â€
1018
1019“Don’t betray Fujiki-sensei.â€
1020
1021“Excuse me…?â€
1022
1023Just when I thought that this was supposed to be some joke, I saw her serious eyes.
1024
1025“Fujiki-sensei needs you—protect her.â€
1026
1027“Protect her? I have too…?â€
1028
1029Are there really things that I can protect in this world? The only thing I could protect are the panties of Miharu, from an underwear thief that is. Though it’s actually prohibited to dry your clothes on the veranda.
1030
1031“And, why are you even here, Kisou-san?â€
1032
1033“Everyone has a thing or two they have to protect.†She said, which was like an answer, but somehow felt like it wasn’t.
1034
1035In that moment, I realized that she was tapping on her smartphone again.
1036
1037Uhm…If you’re gonna pull a kabe-don on me, at least try to focus on the person that you’re holding hostage. And, your face is too close. Because of that, I could see her completely non-fitting face with her body.
1038
1039Kabe-don, smartphone and her non-fitting loli face. And, Maka-sensei together with the four of SID in the same restaurant.
1040
1041What exactly is going on? No, I knew. I really did.
1042
1043…..I guess I should stop getting pulled along every single situation.
