(Chastity Reversed) The Legitimate Wife War: How I, a Harem-Hater, Ended Up Creating an Ultra-Eccentric Harem with a Villainess, a Sadistic Beauty Teacher, a Scheming Classmate... etc. - Chapter 40: The Existence is Erotic
I thought this before too, but a school during break was somehow quiet and eerie… Even though it was still afternoon and not even dark yet.
There were shadows in the hallways, and those places had no human presence…
No, I should stop thinking about it, especially since I have to go into that school building now.
When I arrived at the school gate, Shiraishi-sensei was already there in her white coat.
“It’s been a while~ Takeda-kun.”
She waved her hand lazily at the school gate. I hurriedly ran to where Shiraishi-sensei was waiting.
“You didn’t need to rush like that…”
“No, no, I’m sorry! I’m the one who asked to talk, and yet you even came out to greet me. Thank you!”
“You don’t need to worry about it~ As I might have mentioned before, we teachers have quite a bit of free time during students’ long breaks. The student population is declining too, right? So for interesting things like this… I mean stimulating… no, I mean… ah yes! We must give our all to support educational guidance, for the sake of future students, right?”
This teacher definitely had “looks fun” as her number one reason, absolutely.
Maybe she even came to greet me because she couldn’t wait.
“Ufufu,” Shiraishi-sensei laughed seductively.
…Surely not.
She was a mature woman after all, yeah.
Right??
“Well then, shall we go to the infirmary?”
Why did everything this person says somehow sound sensual?
I wondered while watching her from behind.
Her long hair flowing to one side, the white coat over her long skirt fluttering as she walked.
Yeah, this was all bad! Her very existence was erotic!!
Shiraishi-sensei’s own charm seemed to be doubled by the white coat.
So this was the white coat magic…
While I was thinking about such trivial things, the infirmary appeared before me.
I had followed her there without realizing it.
“Come in, come in~”
The unique smell of an infirmary.
But mixed with what might have been air freshener or Shiraishi-sensei’s nice scent, it smelled really good.
“So~ What brings you here today?”
“Actually—”
“—Ah, wait, let me guess!”
Why were Shiraishi-sensei’s eyes sparkling?
Could this person actually be unexpectedly playful? Or rather, she was definitely enjoying this, wasn’t she?
Her pose of crossing her arms while thinking was somehow alluring.
“Ah, I got it! If you’re coming all the way here to ask me for advice, it must be about Rio! And from there, I deduce—”
“Ah, sorry. This has nothing to do with Akizuki-san.”
I denied that immediately.
“…Huh?”
Shiraishi-sensei’s eyes widened in surprise.
Well, that made sense. If I were consulting Shiraishi-sensei, it would normally be about Rio, but not this time. It had nothing to do with her… sorry about that.
“Eh, really? I thought you tried asking Rio out but got kicked away, and you think she’s being tsundere, but you’re not sure if you should push forward anyway, so you came to ask about that? Let me answer! …It’s OK! Go for it, I would!”
Amazing, she was really pushing her own partner. Just what kind of feelings were those supposed to be?
“No, that’s not it though?”
“Eh, it’s not?”
“I mean, I just said it wasn’t, didn’t I?”
“I heard you, but I thought you were just being shy. Plus, you know how our Rio is, right? I thought you might be troubled.”
“…Well, I am troubled by that… ah.”
Ah, I accidentally let my true feelings slip.
“Fufu, your true feelings and public stance got reversed there?”
Shiraishi-sensei smiled seductively.
This was somehow difficult to handle. Before I knew it, I was being pulled along at her pace.
“Well, now that you’re less tense… So what’s your consultation about today?”
True, I was less tense, but still…
She crossed her legs again and met my gaze. Her eyes looked at me kindly.
“Actually… I’m going on a date with a high school girl soon.”
“A high school girl? That would be Tachibana-san, right?”
“Yes, I’m supposed to go on dates with everyone before the fiancée voting, but I’m wondering where I should take her that would make her happy. I have some ideas, but…”
“Oh right, Rio mentioned something about that event~ I see, I see~ So you came to ask me since I’m the one most likely to know high school girls’ opinions. Others probably wouldn’t know, and asking her directly would be… well, not impossible? How’s that situation?”
Ah~ asking her directly? That would certainly be the most reliable.
But I couldn’t use that option in this case.
“Actually, this fiancée voting thing originally started with the women deciding the date plans, but in Tachibana-san’s style, she was like ‘Take me somewhere nice♪'”
“Ah, I see,” she smiled wryly.
“So simply put, you got dumped with the responsibility? And with increased hurdles… yeah, that sounds like something she’d say.”
“Simply put, yes.”
“Then you really can’t use the option of asking her directly. So that’s why you came to me… yes, I understand now~”
“You have it tough too, Kyoya-kun,” she said with a bright smile.
“Then can you tell me your plan? You mentioned earlier that you had some ideas, and you want to check if they’re good, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then tell me?”
“Yes! Actually, I’m quite confident about this…”
“Wow, I’m excited, tell me, tell me!”
“First, we’ll meet at school in our uniforms!”
“…Yes?”
Her smile seemed to freeze for a moment, but I continued.
“Then we’ll chat while wearing our uniforms!”
“…Hoho.”
“Then we’ll go to a fashionable café, probably Starbucks, and chat there!”
“…A-and then?”
Even Shiraishi-sensei seemed to have no advice, just nodding with a smile. Of course, what I’d said so far was perfect.
“And after that, we’ll go to a stylish cat café or owl café, or maybe be adventurous and go to a maid café for some healing.”
“I… see? That’s interesting, yes, really.”
Her smile seemed to be completely fixed now.
“And finally!”
“T-there’s more?”
“Yes, because this alone wouldn’t really work as a date, right?”
“R-right? There’s some backup plan from here, right?”
Backup? What was she talking about? And what did she mean by backup plan?
“Finally, dinner—”
“W-well, that’s standard, very standard. I wish the rest had been standard too, but…”
“I was thinking of going to a restaurant with a night view.”
“Yeah, yeah… wait, what?!”
A question mark appeared on Shiraishi-sensei’s face.
“…H-how is it?”
“Hmmmmmm.”
After thinking really hard, she said one thing!
“To put it mildly, it’s a mixed bag.”
What did she mean by ‘to put it mildly, it’s a mixed bag’?
“…S-so?”
“Rejected!!”
“…Eh?”
“I said rejected!”
…Apparently, my carefully crafted date plan had been rejected.
Why!?
