“Touma-kun isn’t at fault at all! You went to protect Mashiro-chan after all! It’s all in self-defense!”
“That’s right. Originally, I should have been the one to protect you. I’m a teacher after all, and yet… I had to have a student protect me… I’m disqualified as a teacher.”
[TL: I can’t understand… This dude is going through a really painful time right now. His career could get affected because of all this. But he had to go and reassure his ex-girlfriends, even though they were not facing any dire consequences… Moreover, they called him over in the first place. I just can’t understand why things are heading in this direction. This is just so ridiculous…]
“That’s not true! Akari and Kohaku are both great teachers! That’s why you don’t need to feel responsible at all!”
[TL: And I am amazed at his patience…]
Despite desperate efforts to soothe them, they still remain depressed. In order to liven up the mood of the room, I said in a bright tone, “Also, didn’t I tell you girls before as well? I will start treating both of you like when you were still my girlfriends. So, as your boyfriend, it’s only natural for me to protect both of you from those pick-up bastards. So you two don’t have to feel responsible at all. Besides, to tell you the truth, I don’t think dropping out of school is such a bad idea.”
[TL: Yeap, he’s clearly lost it.]
“Why?”
“Touma-kun, aren’t you having fun at school?”
“It’s fun. I’ve also finally made some friends. However, being bound as a student I won’t be able to flirt with both of you as much as I want. If I stop being a student, I will be able to flirt as much as I want to and don’t the two of you also want to flirt with me all the time as well?”
“Even if that’s right… If Touma gets expelled from school, there’s no way I’d be able to go about my day unaffected.”
“I’ll never allow Touma-kun to be expelled from school. From now on, I will go and drill some sense into my father at home!”
“I’m going too! Since I’m the only one who saw the whole story in close proximity!”
[TL: At last some action from his gfs…]
It seemed that they both just couldn’t help but do something to help my present mess, since right now they were being tormented by heavy guilt, thinking that they were responsible for all the events that had taken place.
On top of that, if I was expelled from school, the two of them might forever continue to suffer in their hearts emotionally.
At the same time, I didn’t want to see them suffer. If they tried to protect me, they might end up in a bad place with the principal at that point, even though… they hadn’t done anything wrong in the first place.
Even if that were so, if Kohaku and Akari tried to put in a good word for me, they wouldn’t be punished for doing so in retrospect.
If doing so made the two of them feel a little better at that, I would be really thankful to have their opinions being voiced out to the principal directly.
At this time, I said, “I’m happy that the both of you are trying to protect me in your own way, but… please do so as teachers, okay? If by any chance the principal finds out that both of you have some sort of extra connection with me, even your present positions at the school would be in danger because of that.”
“Right now, rather than thinking about me, it’s more about thinking about Touma. If it’s okay with you, Touma, it’s okay with me even if I were to quit my job as a teacher in the end.”
“You don’t have to worry about anything, Touma-kun. I’ll definitely protect you!”
Being told this with such bravado to my face, I was really happy.
Even though, just for me, their bright life as a teacher would be tainted forev—-. Now that I think about it, it makes me really worried on the contrary… but the fact that they put their relationship with me above their profession was already so heartwarming for me when I learned of this.
Thinking about it made me feel uneasy, but… it made me very happy at the same that they said that I was more important to them than their jobs.
“Thank you. I’m happy to be loved by the two of you.”
Seeing both of them smile, I walked out of the room alongside them. And while I was being seen off by them, I left their apartment for mine.
