In the afternoon, at LEC Nakano District Main Campus, after finishing today's classes, Yoshifu Yamanaka walked towards the elevator with a shoulder bag, greeting everyone politely along the way.
"Teacher Yamaoka! Please wait a moment!"
Accompanied by hurried footsteps, a crisp and familiar voice came from behind, causing Yoshifu Yamanaka to pause in his tracks and his heart to skip a beat. After taking a deep breath, he turned around and feigned calmness as he looked at the young woman jogging towards him from the classroom door.
Tokyo in March was still cool, and the woman wore a gray trench coat with a beige scarf. Her long hair danced lightly in the wind as she moved, and her delicate and fair face reddened slightly from the outdoor chill. The trench coat was unbuttoned, and as she ran, one could see the impressive pair of fruits held within the white sweater inside, slightly bouncing.
