"No, Tsukishima-sensei, you are very beautiful. Even though you are so fierce, you are still the dream lover of many students. Your hidden popularity isn't much lower than Shirakawa-sensei's," Hikari said.
"Then, Hikari-kun, do you not like me at all?", A look of sadness, barely concealed, appeared on Tsukishima Kyoko's face. It was like spending all that effort in student days solving a problem, only to find the answer was wrong and being completely negated by the teacher.
"It's not that either. Tsukishima-sensei, you're so beautiful, very mature, and very charming. Any guy would like you; I do like you a bit too. After all… I'm different from them; it's not just about looking…", Hikari seemed hesitant, choosing his words carefully before speaking.
"Then why won't you agree to my request and be with me in the future?", Tsukishima Kyoko asked.
"Very simple, Tsukishima-sensei, I completely cannot accept your condition. It's impossible for me to separate from the other girls. They need me, and I will absolutely never abandon them," Hikari said calmly yet leaving no room for doubt.
"I see…", Tsukishima Kyoko sighed, suddenly nodding calmly.
Hikari looked at her somewhat surprised.
Hikari had originally thought that after his answer, Tsukishima Kyoko would angrily scold him or be very upset.
After all, for this matter, she had already gotten divorced. Although she did it unilaterally without discussing it with him.
But since she had come so resolutely, she probably had some expectations for this visit.
However, Hikari would absolutely not agree to such a somewhat coercive request from her.
No matter how good Tsukishima Kyoko was, he could not possibly give up the others.
On this matter, Hikari was unwilling to compromise in the slightest.
So, seeing the complex expression on Tsukishima Kyoko's face, Hikari prepared to simply turn and leave.
But just as he turned around, Tsukishima Kyoko suddenly hugged him from behind, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Tsukishima-sensei?", Hikari asked, puzzled.
"Wait!", Tsukishima Kyoko suddenly shouted loudly.
"I won't agree to your request. I cannot separate from them," Hikari said.
"I already knew that!", Tsukishima Kyoko suddenly said through gritted teeth, "I already knew that you, Hikari, are a scumbag! A bastard!"
"You would never be willing to sacrifice anything for me!"
In response to Tsukishima Kyoko's words, Hikari said calmly, "Tsukishima-sensei, what happened last time was an accident. You also said you wouldn't blame me."
"Yes! I know it was a misunderstanding, and I did say I wouldn't blame you. But you've already taken my most precious first time; we've already had a substantial relationship, haven't we?", After venting with heavy emphasis, Tsukishima Kyoko's tone suddenly softened, even becoming somewhat pitiful.
"I really don't mean to blame you. I just want to tell you that my body… seems unable to forget you."
"The reason I'm saying this isn't to make you take responsibility or anything."
"It's just… just hoping that you can… help me when I need it, when it's convenient for you."
By the end, Tsukishima Kyoko's pretty face had flushed red, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum, filled with shyness.
Hikari turned his head and saw that Tsukishima Kyoko's face was red all the way to the back of her ears.
But her beautiful eyes were fixed tightly on him.
In her gaze was a hard-to-bear determination.
Even so, Hikari couldn't help but ask one more thing, "Tsukishima-sensei, are you sure?"
Tsukishima Kyoko didn't answer, only slowly began unbuttoning her suit jacket.
"Before graduation, I will make you willingly separate from those other women."
Perhaps due to the confidence gained from years of teaching, Tsukishima Kyoko seemed to want to reform Hikari through some measures, to shape him into the form she desired.
After saying this, she tightly hugged Hikari.
And Hikari cooperatively held her in his embrace.

Crash!
The old warehouse door was slowly pushed open.
Hikari, now fully dressed, walked out leisurely.
Behind him was Tsukishima Kyoko, her delicate body trembling, her steps unsteady.
With every step, this cold and beautiful female teacher's body would shake twice, and her stocking-clad beautiful legs under her skirt kept trembling incessantly.
It was as if, after not exercising for years, she had suddenly been struck by a whim and run a dozen laps on the playground.
Hikari turned around, looked at Tsukishima Kyoko's current disheveled state, and couldn't help but smile.
Noticing Hikari's smile, Tsukishima Kyoko immediately widened her beautiful eyes, glared at him fiercely, then turned her head away somewhat shamefully and angrily.
"Hikari, are you feeling very pleased with yourself?"
"No, I'm just a bit worried about you, Tsukishima-sensei," Hikari walked over and directly supported Tsukishima Kyoko's arm. Tsukishima Kyoko didn't resist at all, allowing him to make intimate contact with her skin.
Just moments ago, inside the warehouse, the two had engaged in a duel.
They belonged to different camps, holding different ideals.
Tsukishima Kyoko's goal was to pull Hikari back onto the right path, make him focus on his studies, not engage in any romantic affairs with other girls, and after graduation, he could marry her or something.
Hikari's stance was naturally the complete opposite of hers.
And so, in this debate battle where each wanted to shape the other into their desired form, it lasted for several hours.
Judging by their current mental states,
Naturally, it ended with Hikari's overwhelming victory.
After all, although she was older, in terms of experience in that area, Tsukishima Kyoko was far inferior to Hikari.
As for basic physical fitness and endurance, needless to say, Hikari was confident he could handle ten of her without much difficulty.
So, in just a few hours, Tsukishima Kyoko had been defeated seven or eight times, nearly dehydrated.
Tsukishima Kyoko, who had been so confident before, was utterly routed in this debate battle, beaten badly by Hikari's eloquent arguments, losing armor and troops, a complete defeat.
She even couldn't help crying in the warehouse, sobbing uncontrollably, tears sprinkling all over the floor.
Although she didn't say anything like, "If you do not abandon me, I am willing to acknowledge you as my sworn father," Tsukishima Kyoko did occasionally acknowledge Hikari as her older brother and father.
That is, she could utter terms like "nii-san" and "daddy."
In short, Tsukishima Kyoko, who had originally pulled Hikari into this warehouse where they first met, thinking she would win big, had now lost everything.
Of course, it wasn't like she had gained nothing.
After crossing words with the experienced debater Hikari, she had also learned a lot, and now as she walked out, she was in a state of being "full of refined essence."
Rubbing her still slightly bulging lower abdomen, although a trace of shame and anger remained in Tsukishima Kyoko's beautiful eyes,
Her flushed pretty face betrayed that she was actually quite satisfied inside.
"Hikari! Before you graduate, I will definitely make your mom… no! I will definitely make you break up with those women!", Tsukishima Kyoko loudly continued her declaration of war at Hikari.
"Okay," Looking at Tsukishima Kyoko, who was putting on a strong front while her legs were still trembling, it was hard to tell if she really wanted to continue the duel or was just enjoying the pleasure of the educational role-play justified by her status.
Hikari just smiled and said, "I'll be waiting, Kyoko-chan."
"Don't call me by the nickname my parents used for me when I was little!", Tsukishima Kyoko said shamefully and angrily.
"But wasn't it you, Teacher, who begged me to call you that in the warehouse earlier?", Hikari said with a laugh.
"You're not allowed to call me that now," Tsukishima Kyoko said.
"Does that mean I can call you that next time?", Hikari asked with a smile.
"Shut up!"
Seeing Tsukishima Kyoko's expression growing more ashamed and angry, even seeming to want to use her teacher status to take action, Hikari quickly ran off.
And Tsukishima Kyoko, whose legs were still trembling intermittently and who was currently weak in the knees, naturally couldn't catch up at all.
Watching Hikari's gradually disappearing back, Tsukishima Kyoko touched the warm jade pendant on her chest and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
"This guy, such a bad student. He actually forced me to call him… really, so bad! Ahnn!"
———
Although he had run off laughing earlier, Hikari naturally wouldn't just leave Tsukishima Kyoko, who had just been educated by him and was now weak and sore in the legs, unattended.
After sending her a message and learning that Tsukishima Kyoko had already taken sick leave to go home, Hikari returned to the classroom for class.
———
[After School]
Hikari was thinking about whether he should go to Tsukishima Kyoko's house to check on her, strike while the iron is hot, and train this cold and beautiful teacher's newly opened fertile field a bit more.
However, after he sent this message,
Tsukishima Kyoko only replied with two words: [Get lost].
Of course, Hikari knew that Tsukishima Kyoko, who had just tasted the joys of intimacy, wasn't unwilling.
In fact, she probably wanted it even more than he did, but she just probably couldn't handle it yet, hence the tough talk.
Not minding it, Hikari was just about to put his phone back in his pocket when Yukino called.
"Hello, Yukino-chan?"
["Hikari-kun, after class this afternoon, come over to my place for dinner, okay? I've stewed old hen soup~"], Yukino said in her soft, sticky voice.
"Sure," Hikari readily agreed.
After all, it was a request from the lovely snow woman; Hikari generally wouldn't refuse.
And although Tsukishima-sensei's looks and figure were top-notch, and since she hadn't been developed for many years, she had great potential,
But for now, her skill level was indeed too low, completely unable to satisfy Hikari.
Among his many romantic interests, although Natsuha and Akane each had their unique skills, the three gals including Reina, Yukina and Ruri even had soul fusion techniques, and the Sakuramiya sisters had their sister combination punches, when it came to individual combat prowess, Hikari felt it still had to be Yukino, the snow woman.
So, not having had his fill today, he thought spending the night at Yukino's place and experiencing the ice and fire duality would indeed be perfect.
After hanging up Yukino's call, Kiriryuin Kaede, her best friend who was still staying at Yukino's place, also sent a message.
Hikari didn't read it carefully.
It was nothing more than this Oni tribe young lady, knowing he was going to the Harmony Apartments, using reasons like researching the ring to find him for some membrane discussion and debate.
Since it was on the way, Hikari naturally agreed.
School ended very early today. Right after school ended, the students excitedly rushed out; the corridors were full of people.
Hikari couldn't be bothered to squeeze through. Sitting in his seat, he casually opened the system panel.
Planning to draw a few lottery prizes.
[Ding! Consumed 1000 points of Pure Love points! Drawing roulette.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward, 'Shenbao Brand Nutrient Quickline' x9!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward, 'Death Substitution Paper Figure'!]
After opening the system panel, Hikari first checked the points details. Yesterday, after helping Katsuragi Sayaka and the other mother-daughter trio solve the big trouble of Kareki, the system rewarded two to three hundred Pure Love points.
Adding that to the five hundred points from previously having Katsuragi Yuki and the others personally deal with Kareki, Hikari now had around four thousand Pure Love points again.
Seeing that he had saved up so much Pure Love points, Hikari didn't hesitate and directly did a ten-draw.
