Chapter 84: The Tale of a Very Passionate Welcome

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Sakazaki-kun. For a student, you…”

“Uh, well…”

“You are a very wonderful student!!”

“Whoa!”

Koyomi suddenly pulled Ryuuto close and pressed him into her chest. His face was buried in what had to be H-cup breasts, leaving him unable to breathe.

“Gah! Let me go!”

“Ahhn, geez…”

When Ryuuto put some distance between them, Koyomi let out a hot sigh and flicked her red tongue across her lips.

“Sensei truly thinks that all the effort I’ve put into teaching you has finally paid off.”

“Why are you taking your shirt off?”

Koyomi, who had started unbuttoning her shirt, looked puzzled.

“Huh? Because this is the perfect situation where the bond we’ve built over so many years finally comes to fruition. This is the moment where teacher and student become one.”

“‘So many years’? We’ve barely known each other for fifteen minutes, tops.”

“Tehee~”

“Ah, by the way. Is that the classroom for the Magic Department?”

Ryuuto jolted as he was about to walk past a certain classroom. Through the glass panel of the door, he saw countless female students gathered densely like summer bugs drawn to a porch light, silently watching him with eyes alone.

“Guh…”

He felt a suffocating pressure clog his throat and recoiled. Then he quickly moved toward the windows along the hallway to get out of their line of sight. Once he had a wall between them, the intense stares faded.

But he still felt a piercing gaze that seemed to cut through barriers, sending an icy chill racing down his spine. There was no mistake—it was the same intense predatory stare he had grown sick of seeing in dungeons.

“Oh my, that’s too bad for all of you. Sakazaki-kun is part of our class from today on, okay? Oh, but I suppose I can let you come take a peek during break time. Hohoho…”

The moment Koyomi said that, the Magic Course classroom seemed to swell with tension. They were in the middle of class. There must have been a strict rule against making noise, but the sheer intensity of their obsession was unmistakably real.

“Um, Sensei. Shouldn’t we get out of here quickly? I, uh, don’t feel so good. Like my body is acting up, or, ugh, I’m getting dizzy…”

“Mmm. That’s no good at all. Ahaha, one special invitation for Sakazaki-kun to Class A~”

◇◇◇

“Okay then, Sakazaki-kun. I’ll go calm down—no, soothe—no, let’s say gently settle these wild beasts…Er, I mean the class. When I call your name, come on in, okay?”

“Got it.”

Koyomi skipped into the classroom like a ballerina, humming “hm~hm~ lalala~” as she went. Ryuuto strained his ears, but inside was eerily silent, so quiet you wouldn’t think over thirty students were in there.

Ugh, I’m getting kind of nervous now.

He’d been told beforehand that there weren’t any male students at the Explorer School. Actually, he had often daydreamed about a situation like this when he was bored—being the only guy in a school full of girls—but could he really handle it? There were bound to be generation gaps since he’d been away from student life for years.

“And so, here he is—Japan’s proud great hero, Ryuuto Sakazaki-kun!”

Please, Koyomi-sensei. Don’t raise the bar so high… Ah, whatever happens, happens.

He opened the classroom door. Inside, thirty-two young girls with sparkling eyes leaned forward like they were about to pounce him. All of them were staring straight at Ryuuto. The silence lasted only a moment. Then a shrill cheer like something out of a boy-band concert exploded through the room.

“Kiiii! He’s too hot!”

“No way, Ryuuto-sama! It’s Ryuuto-sama in the flesh!”

“Seriously? Oh god, I’m so glad I lived to see this day!”

“This is insane! Oh my god, he’s so cool! What is this? Is this heaven? I’ve been reborn in heaven, haven’t I?!”

“Dream dream dream dream… This isn’t a dream! Thank you, thank you! I offer my gratitude to every spirit and deity in the universe!”

“Sniff sniff. Just smelling Ryuuto-sama’s scent and—ahh. My baby room is~♡”

“Uu, uuuu. Just being in the same space as Ryuuto-sama, what bliss. Forgive me, Mother. Moeka has become a mother today♡”

“Actually, I’m already pregnant~♡”

“That’s nothing—I’m having triplets♡”

“Ahhh, there’s no greater joy than this.”

“I’m so glad. So, so glad I chose the Recovery Department. This is simply unreal. Everyone said Ryuuto-sama would almost certainly be in the Magic Department, and I cried myself to sleep so many nights because of that. I thought if I caught just a glimpse of Ryuuto-sama’s shadow this morning, I’d die happy right there…But now this? A literal miracle? Woo-hoo! Miracles really do happen!”

“Fuuuu! Yippee!”

“Slurp, slurp, I want to lick you, lick lick.”

“Thank you, thank you. Gods, Buddhas, I’ve used up all my luck in life today, but I have no regrets!”

“Alright, everyone. I know you’re excited, but Sakazaki-kun is getting overwhelmed. Back to your seats now. You’re about to hear words directly from Sakazaki-kun himself—a privilege you couldn’t buy even with all the money in the world. Let every cell in your body absorb it.”

As Koyomi said this, the girls who had been holding hands and dancing on top of desks or stripping off their outerwear—the most dangerous ones out of the bunch—suddenly snapped out of their frenzy and hurried back to their seats with faces like spellbound puppets.
