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

Chapter 7 – Sakurada Momo’s Feelings

The mask slipped far sooner than she had expected.

In a corner of the Seiou Private Academy grounds stood the faculty dormitory——a run-down apartment so different from the student dorms it was like comparing heaven and earth. In its backyard stood Sakurada Momo.

Hidden behind the flowerbed at the back, Momo stared intently at an image displayed on her smartphone.

And then, she felt certain of her victory.

——With this photo, she could do whatever she wanted with her homeroom teacher, Hosokawa Ryuuki.

That’s how damning the photo Momo had obtained was for the rookie teacher.

The photo on her smartphone showed a man and a woman sharing a passionate kiss.

The freshly taken photo was so intense that even Momoka couldn’t help blushing as she looked at it.

Naturally, the man and woman kissing were Hosokawa Ryuuki and Miyama Kanade.

Momo didn’t know how it had come to this, but that wasn’t a big deal to her. The most important thing to her was that the photo was saved on her smartphone.

Sensei, you were way too careless… Well, I had a feeling your sense of danger was kind of weak…

That’s right. Hosokawa Ryuuki has an all too weak sense of danger.

He still doesn’t realize that this is an enclosed space, completely isolated from the outside world for both students and teachers.

And that means…

For the majority of teachers, and for the female students in the midst of puberty, there is an overwhelming shortage of young men at this Seiou Private Academy.

Naturally, at an all-girls school, young male teachers are often the object of admiration for the students. However, here, the shortage of men is incomparable to that of any other all-girls school.

This is a boarding school.

The students rarely leave the school grounds except on holidays. This means that there are even fewer opportunities for the students to see young men than at an ordinary all-girls school.

It goes without saying what would happen if a young man were to enter such a space.

However, what’s even more fascinating about this school is that the young girls who attend are the daughters of company presidents or politicians.

Basically, even at home, these girls are kept under strict surveillance and their relationships are restricted.

Naturally, they are not allowed to have boyfriends from a normal background, and they even have had their husbands decided for them as political tools by their parents.

Even in this Reiwa era, there are even students who already have fiancées.

For the students who have lived under such severe oppression, this prison-like Seiou Academy, isolated from the rest of the world, is a free space where they can escape their parental supervision.

While there is nothing convenient here, there is no parental supervision either.

Ironically, this prison also makes the students open-minded.

Hosokawa Ryuuki, the new teacher, is unaware of this.

He had no idea how the girls——whose freedom to love had been denied and whose future spouses had been chosen by their parents——would react to the sudden arrival of a young man in a place so starved of them.

Sakurada Momo is one of those girls forbidden from pursuing romance by her parents.

She does not have a fiance yet, but her father, who is a State Minister, is currently engaged in a power struggle within the party.

It is easy to imagine that her father, who wants to have as many followers as possible, would use her daughter with above-average looks as a political tool.

In fact, Momo’s two older sisters have already married young members of the party.

The same fate is surely waiting for her.

Momo was devastated to see her sisters forced to play a political game and devoted to husbands they didn’t even love.

She knew there was no escape, but still——she wanted to experience a free, genuine love as a human being with her own will.

To Momo, Sensei, who was by no means from an upper class background, was kind to her and put her interests first. He seemed to shine brighter than any great adult.

I know… I know this is a hopeless struggle.

Once she graduated, she’d be painfully reminded that the freedom she felt in this birdcage was just an illusion.

But just for now… Just for a little while, she wants to live the way she wants.

That’s why she can’t lose to any love rivals. Naturally, the other girls are in the same situation as Momo.

A nasty competition over Ryuuki might break out at any moment.

But Momo has no intention of backing down.

On the contrary, she intends to outwit them and monopolize Ryuuki’s love.

“I… I won’t lose…”

With that determination, she once again looked down at the photo.

Even as Kanade forcefully stole Ryuuki’s lips, just seeing his expression as he nearly drowned in Kanade’s sweet intoxication makes Momo’s body heat up. And the fact that that expression is directed at another woman makes her jealous and stirred a twisted excitement inside her.

I want to see Sensei’s expression like this in front of my eyes too… That face of his, it looks dependable, yet somehow unreliable… It’s so charming…

Still, Momo never expected Miyama Kanade to take action so quickly.

While part of her felt grateful for getting such a decisive photo, the reality was that she needed to act before Ryuuki’s feelings turned entirely toward Kanade.

I can’t be careless.

Just because Kanade’s a teacher doesn’t mean she’s harmless. Kanade, too, is a woman starving for male attention in this isolated world. She’s a rival.

If I let my guard down, she’ll get ahead of me. But I can’t be hasty.

Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, Momo quietly made her way back to the girls’ dorm, careful not to make a sound with her footsteps.
