I Became a Teacher at an All-Girls Boarding School, and Now the Students and Female Teachers Are After Me~

Chapter 13 – Just Relax and Take It Slow, Ryuuki-Kun

To be honest, playing games with Miyama-sensei is fun.

“Ryuuki-kun, you’re too lenient!! You have to watch your back.”

“Huh? When did you get the red shell… I mean, you deliberately dropped in the rankings to attack me, didn’t you?”

“Hehehe♪”

“It’s useless to pretend. I thought it was strange that you were in second place, but I never imagined you were thinking of such a mean trick.”

“Ryūki-kun, the person who finishes in first place at the end wins. If you’re frustrated, try reaching the goal in first place.”

“Grrr…”

Miyama-sensei and I played some old games included in the game, but the one we had the most fun with was the classic racing game.

I realized this while playing the game, but somehow Miyama-sensei seems to be a more cunning person than I thought.

Even though she acted humble at first and said “I’m not very good at games…”, I realized that I couldn’t beat her no matter what game we played.

And then, before I knew it…

“Hey, Ryuuki-kun, what game shall we play next?”

Looking at Miyama-sensei, who tilted her head and looked at my face, I remembered how we were in such an awkward position while playing.

Initially, we were all sitting neatly on the cushions, but gradually our backs got tired and we each leaned against the bed to play the game.

And right now, I’m leaning against the bed. As for Miyama-sensei… she’s in front of me, using me as a backrest. It’s like I’m hugging her from behind.

Come to think of it, she suddenly leaned on me but when I said, “What are you doing?!” she just dodged the question by saying, “Ah, the game is starting!!”

I was so engrossed in the game that I forgot she was using me as her backrest.

Having come to my senses only just now, I told her, “Sensei, this position is inappropriate in many ways…”

“What do you mean inappropriate? Are you saying you can’t hold back?”

“No, I mean… the fact that we, as teachers, are this close to each other.”

“Romance between faculty and staff is not supposed to happen, so are you saying you can’t control yourself?”

“No, that’s…”

As I said this, Miyama-sensei twirled the ends of her hair around her fingers, looking a little bored.

Then she sighed, “Hah…”

“Hosokawa-sensei, if you think I’m not good enough of a woman to be your girlfriend, then please tell me clearly. If that’s the case, I’ll leave right away…”

“No, that’s not what I mean…”

There’s no way I could ever say that Miyama-sensei isn’t good enough for me.

I think she’s very cute, and for a virgin like me who has little romantic experience, she’s actually out of my league…

“I’m glad… I feel like I’ve gained a bit of confidence.”

Suddenly, Miyama-sensei muttered something like that.

“Confidence…?”

“Ryuuki-kun really can’t lie. I’m glad that you think highly of me…”

“Eh? Ah, no… That’s…”

Seems like my feelings were showing on my face. As I suddenly felt my face heat up, she touched my hand, which was lying on the floor.

“Sensei… There’s no need to rush. Let’s slowly get closer to each other in mind and body.”

As Miyama-sensei said this, she wrapped both her hands around mine and stroked my palm with her thumb.

“But, we’re both teachers, right? Isn’t this… not ideal, in terms of education?”

“I want you to become a great teacher… If being unfamiliar with women is an obstacle to you becoming a great teacher, then I want to remove that problem from you. Is it wrong to think that way?”

“No, it’s not that it’s wrong or anything, but…”

This is bad… Miyama-sensei is completely in control of the conversation.

At this rate, I’ll be completely swayed.

“But still, this method is ignoring your feelings, Miyama-sensei.”

“No, I’m not ignoring them. It’s a small thing, but I’d be happy to help you in any way I can. If you’d like, I could take it off right now.”

“No, that’s alright…”

“Your hands are big and a little rough, but they’re warm. I feel calm when I touch your hands, Ryuuki-kun.”

How many men in this world could stay sane after being told this by such a cute woman?

The sweet smell coming from Sensei’s neck in front of me is definitely preventing me from thinking normally.

“……”

As I couldn’t say anything, Miyama-sensei looked at me with a blank look.

“Sensei, you seem to have a weak sense of danger…”

“W-what are you talking about?”

“The students are already gossiping about you, you know?”

Gossip? What’s that about?

“Is my teaching method really that bad?”

“No, it’s not that. But… it’s more about gossiping about you as a man…”

“As a man… What do you mean?”

“The rumor is that you have no experience in love…”

“Huh?! Is that already a rumor among the students?!”

“Yes…unfortunately…”

Miyama-sensei looked serious.

“Women have an uncanny sense for these things. I can’t say specifically, but I think the lack of confidence you exude in your interactions with women shows in your expressions and actions.”

No, that can’t be…

Can girls tell if you’re a virgin…?

No, no, no, there’s no way, right?

“E-excuse me, Miyama-sensei, but even if that’s true, isn’t that…unrelated to being an excellent teacher?”

“That’s too naïve. Girls won’t follow a man who lacks confidence. This is an all-girls school, you know? Don’t you think it would be really sad if the students refused to follow you just because they think you’re a virgin?”

“……”

I don’t quite get it, but that seems to be the gist of it.

But, well, it might be true that if a teacher lacks confidence, the students might not want to follow them, even if it’s unrelated to romance.

“T-then, what should I do then?”

“Are you serious about this, Sensei? I’ve been saying it countless times. I want you to use me to gain confidence as a man.”

“B-but using your body for that is…”

We’re just going around in circles…

As I was wondering how to respond, Miyama-sensei moved my hand to her cheek.

The feeling of her smooth cheek on the back of my hand made my body heat up even more.

“It’s okay to take it slow. Let’s slowly get used to women at your own pace. I’m always on your side, Ryuuki-kun, so just relax and act like you’re on a big ship. I’m sure that will help you gain more confidence as a man.”

In the end, that night, I wasn’t able to convince Miyama-sensei.
