Episode 19 – Come to the staff room as soon as possible

Next day. I was stalked by Shigenawa Tsukasa since this morning, and I was completely exhausted. I suddenly saw Shigenawa staring at me in the curve mirror, which has become a regular occurrence for me. I’m confident that I won’t be surprised by any ordinary horror movie anymore.

“Haaa. ……”

“You’re tired, aren’t you?”

Saejima said that to me as I let out a sigh in the classroom. To Saejima, I lightly reply, “Well, yeah.”

Then, out of the corner of my eye, Sumeragi chuckled apologetically. I guess she must have guessed why I was tired.

Sumeragi was surrounded by the girls in class today.

“Sumeragi kun! Let’s have lunch together once in a while~”

“That’s right! Not with the boys!”

“Well, …… well, yeah. Okay.”

And so she was caught by the girls. The bad thing about her is that she can’t say no. She’s looking at me like a small animal asking for help, but it’s probably just my imagination.

I was hungry, too, because it was lunchtime. I thought, “Let’s buy some bread at the store and eat it with Saejima”. As I was thinking such a thing, suddenly the school announced, “Tazuna Shiro, please come to the staff room immediately”

“That’s Hibiki-chan sensei right now, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“What did you do?”

“….Well?”

I don’t remember doing anything to be summoned by sensei.

Although I thought it was strange, I felt that I had no choice but to be summoned and immediately headed to the staff room.

Then–.

“You come, Tazuna?

“Eh?”

There stood Okuda-sensei sitting on a chair and Shigenawa Tsukasa, who for some reason had a pouty look on her face.

Okuda-sensei said,

“I found a student wearing another school’s uniform sneaking around inside the school. I caught her and asked her about it, and she told me that Tazuna had summoned her.”

So she called me up.

This junior, I guess, was trying to stalk me on school, too. And now that the teacher had found out, she decided to take me along for the ride, I guess.

As proof, Shigenawa stuck out her tongue from a position where Okuda-sensei could not see it, saying, “Bee”. She didn’t say it out loud, but she was clearly saying, “Suck it up~”

“It’s a nice surprise.”

……”

Said it out loud.

“You can’t do that. You can’t threaten a younger girl and call her up.”

“Eh, threatening ……?”

“That’s what I’m hearing.”

When I turned my attention to Shinegawa, she started saying something like, “That’s right! He threatened me, saying that I will know what would happen if I didn’t do what he said…!” He is very good at acting.

No, this was no time to be impressed.

After that, she didn’t listen to my argument at all and scolded me severely.

On the other hand, Shigenawa was sent home early, and as she left, she stuck her tongue out at me and said, “Bee”. She was a cocky junior.

“Um, Okuda-sensei.”

“What is it?”

“I didn’t call her out or anything.”

“I know you didn’t.”

“Eh?”

“I knew it was a lie that Tazuna threatened her. Most adults can see through a child’s foolishness.”

“…… Then why was I being scolded?”

“Because your influence didn’t change the fact that she snuck into the other school. I don’t know what happened between you and her, but I suggest you resolve it quickly.”

“……”

Okuda sensei is quite an inedible person.

“Well, can I go back now, too? I haven’t had lunch yet.”

“Yeah, you’ll have to wait a little longer.”

“What’s up?”

“I just want to ask you a few questions, that’s all. No need to be so self-conscious.”

“What do you want to talk about?”

“You’re on good terms with Sumeragi, aren’t you?”

“Well, we get along.”

“She has …… a somewhat peculiar problem. I understand she told you what’s going on.”

“It’s a gender thing, isn’t it?”

“Yeah. She has just moved to a new school and he – or rather she – has such a particular problem. So I’m worried that she’s not doing well at school.”

“…”

I wonder if Okuda-sensei is also properly concerned about Sumeragi. I’ve been thinking that this person is cool and doesn’t show much expression, and if anything, she doesn’t seem to be interested in the students.

In fact, she doesn’t even care if she is called “Hibiki-chan-sensei”. I couldn’t tell if she was being kind or uninterested.
“Hmm? What is it? Do you see anything on my face?”

“No, nothing.”

From the looks of things, I’d say it was the former. I would like to think so.

“I think Sumeragi is doing well. She is not particularly out of place in the class. Well, maybe in a way she is.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“She’s popular with the girls, and she’s always surrounded by them.”

“…… Hmmm. Well, to someone who doesn’t know what’s going on, she just looks like a good-looking boy. Is that a problem for him”

“Problems?”

“For example, that kind of love affair. For example, the kind of sexual problems that might cause hostility from boys.”

“No, nothing like that. Because of the girls, the guys are a little reluctant to get involved with her. But Sumeragi is good at sports and study, and since she is fresh and not sarcastic, I think she is rather well-liked.”

“I see. That’s great.”

Okuda-sensei said that and sat down deeply in her chair, letting out a sigh of relief. That’s probably why she was worried about Sumeragi

She is a good teacher, isn’t she?

“I understand about Sumeragi for the time being. Thank you.”

“Okay, then, I’ll be going now.”

“Oh, and…”

“Yes?”

“I don’t want any more trouble like the one we had earlier.”

“…… yes.”

I knew she is a strict teacher.
