When Hikari arrived at school, the class bell had already rung.
Seeing the empty hallway, he quickened his pace toward the classroom, preparing to sneak in quietly.
But halfway there, someone caught him.
"Hikari!"
Hearing the scolding voice behind him, Hikari turned his head.
Seeing who it was, he let out a breath of relief.
"Oh, it's just Shirakawa-sensei. Why shout so loud, scared me for a second."
Walking quickly up to him, Shirakawa Miwa scolded in a delicate voice, "What do you mean just me? Do you realize you're late? As a teacher, I can't pretend I didn't see that."
"What does sensei want me to do then?", Hikari asked tactfully.
Shirakawa Miwa, her arms full of a thick stack of lesson plans, instantly shoved them into his hands with practiced speed.
"Ehehe, just help me carry these to the office," She smiled sweetly.
"Alright, alright," Hikari nodded and agreed. After all, he often went through the back door of this gentle, voluptuous teacher. Besides, it was a good chance to help Chizuru get leave from school.
"These are pretty heavy. Can't believe you can carry so many, Shirakawa-sensei," He hefted the lesson plans in his hands and gave a sideways glance at her towering figure.
"Hey, where are you looking, you brat?", Miwa pretended to guard her chest, acting wary.
"I was just curious how sensei manages to lug such heavy stuff around every day while also carrying all these lesson plans," He explained.
"I could accuse you of sexual harassment with talk like that, you know…"
Joking and bantering like this, the two of them soon reached the office.
Hikari put the lesson plans down for her, only to be ordered to change the water bottle on the dispenser as well.
Of course, it wasn't all unpaid labor. She rewarded him with a few packets of rare snacks and a bottle of facial cleanser she had brought along.
While the two of them fooled around noisily, neither noticed the sharp gaze from nearby that had been fixed on them all along.
Tsukishima Kyoko's face was growing darker and darker.
The voluptuous teacher still had no awareness of it, watching Hikari joke and chatter away. Smiling, she asked, "By the way, the other day you said you'd support me in the future. When's that supposed to be, after you graduate?"
Hikari shook his head.
"Probably not possible. I don't have money. The other day, I was actually thinking of selling my apartment to support you…"
Miwa laughed.
"And then?"
"And then the landlord said she didn't agree."
"Pfft…"
That reply happened to hit Shirakawa-sensei's ultimate laugh point.
She clutched her stomach, squatted down, and pointed a trembling finger at him, laughing so hard her voice rang out.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Tsukishima Kyoko, who was pretending to mark papers while keeping her head down, grew even gloomier, her eyes flashing with silent dismay.
And seeing Shirakawa Miwa's completely unexpected exaggerated reaction, Hikari was also speechless. Lowering his gaze at her, still in uniform suit-skirt, squatting on the floor, he said helplessly, "Shirakawa-sensei, you must really like white, huh…"
Her smile froze. Face blushing, she jumped up and snarled, "You brat, daring to peek even at your teacher's underwear color, you're a real pervert!"
"You're the one acting without elegance or grace."
"Oh, so it's my fault?"
"Yeah."
"Say that again!"
The two of them traded lines back and forth. It didn't sound like an argument, more like playful bickering.
At last, Tsukishima Kyoko couldn't watch anymore.
She pushed her chair back, stood up, her dark expression fixed on the two of them, and cut in coldly, "Hikari-kun, class has already started. What are you still doing here?"
"And Shirakawa-sensei, quarreling with a student in the office at this time, is that proper?"
Hearing Kyoko's cold, stern tone, Shirakawa Miwa shrank at once, lowering her head.
"I…I understand."
But Hikari didn't answer. Instead, he walked toward Kyoko.
Seeing him come closer and closer, Kyoko grew nervous.
"Y-you…what are you trying to do?"
Noticing her nervous look, he realized her misunderstanding and stopped several steps away.
"Tsukishima-sensei, the class rep asked me to tell you she wants to take leave this afternoon."
Hearing it was proper business, Kyoko finally relaxed and nodded.
"Alright, I understand."
She said nothing more. After all, Chizuru wasn't just the class rep but also an excellent, diligent student. For such a model student to request leave, Kyoko naturally had no objections.
After that, she urged him back to class.
He turned and left the office.
As soon as he left, Shirakawa Miwa's bright smile disappeared, her expression returning to calm.
Noticing Kyoko still standing there, Miwa tilted her head curiously.
"Eh? Kyoko-chan, where's your ring?"
She remembered Kyoko always wore a wedding ring on her left ring finger. But today, those slender jade-like fingers were bare.
"F-forgot…forgot to wear it," Kyoko covered her hand casually, though her movements showed some nervousness. Miwa didn't think much of it, just smiled and turned back to her files.
But when Kyoko went to pour water at the office doorway, she raised her head, staring into the hallway.
Looking at that boy's retreating back, she suddenly touched her soft lower belly.
"No…it can't be."
"Something like this…how could it be possible."
"It must be because I ate ice cream the other day, or maybe I counted wrong…it has to be…"
———
The class bell rang, and students surged out of school like a tide.
Amakawa Kanade, together with Nishida who had sought her out right after class, went to the so-called private cinema he mentioned.
After some travel, they arrived in front of a house.
Looking at it, Kanade asked in puzzlement, "The private cinema's here?"
"Mm-hm!", Nishida didn't say more, just led her inside.
She didn't get to ask further and could only follow.
Soon, they stepped into a spacious room.
The room was large, well-shielded from outside light, with a big screen, and in front of it, a bed and a sofa.
From the setup, it looked somewhat like a private cinema.
But around the bed and sofa were several cameras on tripods.
Kanade, never having been to a private cinema before, only felt it strange.
"Are private cinemas all set up like this? Looks weird…", She pointed at the cameras.
Nishida smiled and explained, "This one goes for a high-end feel, so it's fully equipped."
"I see…", She nodded, about to ask more.
But Nishida had already gone to the door.
"I'll go get some drinks from my relative," he said before stepping out.
Kanade sat down on the sofa, bored.
Once outside, Nishida quickly walked toward the corridor corner.
Hiding there, Matsuoka Reiji saw him coming and asked at once, "How's the plan going? Smooth?"
"Smooth!", Nishida nodded happily, but then hesitated.
"Still…tricking Amakawa-san like this…is it really okay?"
Reiji smacked his shoulder hard, "Are you seriously hesitating now? We're just about to succeed! You want Amakawa to get snatched away by Hikari?"
"No, I don't!", Nishida shook his head fast.
"Good. Then take this water and make her drink it," Reiji grinned, dropping a pink pill into a cup, shaking it until it dissolved, and handing it over.
"Alright!", Thinking of Kanade's pure, lovely face, and of Hikari, Nishida took the cup.
"Just follow the plan," Reiji said.
"Got it!"
The plan they had made was simple: Reiji provided the venue and props. Nishida, with his connection, lured Kanade here.
After dr*gging her into unconsciousness, they would take n*de photos, and Nishida would take her virginity.
According to Reiji, that way Kanade would recognize her hidden feelings for Nishida, naturally breaking away from Hikari's clutches and staying with Nishida forever.
Seeing Nishida's hesitant steps, Reiji clapped his shoulder again.
"I can tell, Kanade's got a great body, but she's still a virgin. Lucky you, kid. Now hurry up!"
Hearing that, Nishida's eyes flashed with heat and excitement. Nodding, he quickly carried the cup toward the room.
Meanwhile, Reiji turned and entered another room.
Inside sat four or five punk youths with flashy hair, smoking and blowing clouds.
———
Seeing them puffing smoke, Reiji frowned.
"I told you not to smoke here!", he complained.
They stubbed their cigarettes and rushed over.
One impatiently asked, "So? Is it done?"
Reiji nodded.
"Relax, it's all set. The pretty girl's been lured in. I told that kid, once he dr*gs Amakawa, he gets first go."
At that, his gang of punks got upset.
"No way! A top-class beauty like that, and you're letting that glasses idiot take her virginity? If you won't, fine, but don't tell us we came here for nothing!"
Reiji sneered, about to answer, but a blond punk cut in, laughing, "Haha, Kenta, are you dumb or just pretending? Don't you know Reiji best? He always takes the first go."
"Those lines earlier were just to trick that four-eyed Nishida. Obviously, Reiji will be the one to take her first, right?"
Reiji slapped his shoulder with a grin.
"Yoshida, you're sharp! Don't worry, I won't waste your trip."
"Once I take Amakawa's virginity, you'll all get to play too. As for that weakling four-eyes Nishida. He can wait till we're done and lick up what's left of us!"
"Hahaha!", The punks burst into laughter.
Then one blond asked, "But what if that four-eyes doesn't agree?"
Reiji snorted.
"Doesn't agree? Then we beat him up first. A coward like that gets obedient after a beating."
The punks roared with laughter again.
To spur them on further, Reiji said, "Listen, the only reason I called you guys was to guard against a certain someone showing up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you this so soon. That Amakawa girl isn't just pretty, she's ridiculously gullible, and her bo*bs are massive. Like, this big."
He spread his hands wide, like holding two watermelons.
The punks cried out in surprise.
"No way! A top-class babe like that's really that easy?"
"Relax. Last time only failed because some random bastard showed up and ruined things. That's why I brought you all as backup today. Otherwise, with just Amakawa Kanade, I could've handled her myself."
