“He only went into the women’s restroom to deliver toilet paper to me! He was never doing anything wrong!”
The student guidance room echoed with Sumeragi’s desperate defense. I was sitting next to her, arms folded across from her, my gaze fixed on Okuda-sensei, who had a difficult expression on her face.
Okuda sensei exhaled, “Phew ……,” and put her hand on her forehead.
“No matter how many times I hear this, it’s still an incomprehensible situation.”
“That’s why! I didn’t have any toilet paper, so I contacted him to bring some! So, I don’t think he had any guilty …… feelings, although he might have had some!”
Sumeragi took one look at me. If you intend to defend me, I want you to properly defend me to the end.
But when I thought about it and remembered all the sexual harassment I’ve done to her – I thought to myself, daily activities are very important.
“Haa,……, it will get complicated, so you don’t have to say any more than that. At least I know what’s going on. The school will not punish you for going into the women’s restroom on the third floor of the west school building. I promise you that.”
“Really? T-thank you!”
Sumeragi said, “Thank god!” But Okuda-sensei seemed to still have something to say, and continued in a calm tone of voice, “Sumeragi”
“I fully understand your situation. The school will support you as much as possible. However, the school is not for you. It is for all students. Do you understand?”
“Y-Yes. ……”
“We teachers have a responsibility to all of our students. We can’t spend all of our time on you or give you special treatment. We will do everything we can, but you need to do better yourself.”
“…… Yes.”
“This is your fault. You should have checked the toilet paper when you went into the bathroom.”
“Y-you’re right. ……”
“Distractions. That’s why Tazuna is being called into the student guidance office like this. So, please take that into consideration and use it to your advantage the next time.”
“Y-Yes!”
Now that her sermon is over, I thought I would finally be released. But Okuda-sensei turned the tables on me this time, saying, “You look like you didn’t do anything wrong but.”
“You. Don’t go into the women’s restroom with a roll of toilet paper, even if it’s an emergency.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You won’t get another chance.”
“Yes.”
“……”
“……”
“You. Your apology is too heartfelt, and if you want a quick end to your teacher’s sermon, you’d better practice your heartfelt performance.”
She saw right through me.
“Well, that’s it for the sermon. Now go.”
“Yes. Excuse me.”
I stood up first, and Sumeragi followed me, “Excuse me!” and left the student guidance room.
As we walked out into the hallway, she let out a sigh, “Haaa…….”
“Okuda-sensei,…… that was scary, wasn’t it?”
“Really?”
“More than that, I’m really sorry. I’m really sorry that I caused all of this.”
I had just gone to the women’s restroom to deliver some toilet paper at the request of her. Then, when I came out of the girls’ restroom, I happened to be spotted by a female student.
I was caught red-handed. In the staff room, I was told, “It’s peeping! Trespassing!” I was turned in to the teachers.
The teachers’ eyes at that time were scary. Because we were in the staff room, the teachers were staring at us from all sides, and I thought I was going to pee my pants.
It was in this situation that Okuda-sensei moved me to the student guidance office, saying, “I will hear the details of your story”. Perhaps, though, she was helping me out of that rain of stares.
When I thanked her for that, he replied, “If I treat you as a criminal before the facts have been confirmed, you will suffer irreparable damage if you are falsely accused.”
I knew she was a teacher who cared about her students in that way. Even in the guidance counselor’s office, she listened to me sincerely and was ready to let me go before Sumeragi arrived.
I promised myself that I would listen to Okuda-sensei’s lessons seriously from now on for the rest of my life.
“Well, don’t worry about it. Fortunately, I didn’t get blamed for it.”
“But ……”
“It’s okay, it’s okay.”
At that moment, Saejima called out, “Oh, Tazuna~”
“You were taken to the student guidance office, right? How did it go?”
“No charges were filed.”
“Seriously? So the story about you going into the girls’ restroom and stuffing the girls’ smells into a plastic bag is a hoax?”
“I think you’re following the rumors too closely.”
What kind of a bad guy would pack the smell of the women’s restroom in a plastic bag? And what do you do with those plastic bags? Sell them?
You can’t sell them, indeed. …… You can’t sell them, right?
As I was thinking about this nonsense, She questioned Seajima with a serious look on her face, “Hey?”
“Is that rumor …… spreading pretty well ……?”
“Eh? Well, that’s right. All the students already know about it. A second-year boy named Tazuna Shiro went into the girls’ bathroom.”
That’s too soon. Closed groups are scary. ……
“So now all the girls are bad-mouthing him and talking behind his back. They say things like, [Oh, by the way, that guy~ – he always looks at us like he’s licking our lips]. That kind of thing.”
“……”
Oops, Sumeragi is wondering. I knew it was important to do the daily routine. But I want to correct this one thing.
“Wait, Sumeragi. I don’t look at people in such a lascivious manner, no matter how much I want to. I have some common sense. I have never given such an impolite look to a stranger who is not my friend.”
“Hnnn…”
Sumeragi is looking at me with a serious eye. She doesn’t believe me at all. It’s really a daily routine.
“Be careful, will you? Even though you’re just a friend of Sumeragi, the girls are eyeing you.”
“Eh?”
Saejima statement is followed by Sumeragi asking, “What do you mean?”
“You know, Sumeragi is a cool guy right?That’s why all the girls want to get close to him. But you see Tazuna is next to him right? That’s why there are people who are against Tazuna.”
“W-What are you talking about? …… I’m not always with him. ……”
“But, don’t you spend a lot of time together?Just being treated special by the prince is enough to make the girls jealous. But that’s only true for a few extreme people right?”
“……”
Wow, I was the target of the extreme fans of Sumeragi. I didn’t know that.
“Because of this, those extremist girls are trying to burn Tazuna even more.”
“I see, that’s probably the reason for them keep following me around.”
“Anyway, be careful, okay?”
“Oh, thanks for the tip.”
“Don’t worry about it. We’re friends, right?”
“…… Saejima.”
I’ve got a good friend, …….
“Hey, by the way, ……? How much do you charge for a plastic bag filled with the smell of a women’s restroom?”
“…….”
I might as well cut ties with this guy.
” ……It’s my fault.”
