-68- The overly approachable teacher

Time always passes by quickly.

Even for those students who dislike being in class, the classroom time seems to pass extremely slowly, but for Nanaya Hori, it didn't matter much.

So, time passed without anyone noticing.

In the blink of an eye, it was time to go home.

"Well then..."

Nanaya Hori stood up from his seat, preparing to head to the teacher's office.

However, before that, someone surrounded him.

"Did Chabashira-sensei specifically call you? It must be something important, right?" Horikita Suzune seemed to have been concerned about this since the morning and immediately approached before Nanaya Hori left.

"If it's that teacher, I can't imagine her calling someone just to offer guidance." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka approached silently and, in his usual subdued tone, made such a statement.

"Nanaya, did you do something that caught the teacher's attention?" Even Kushida Kikyou approached, looking somewhat worried, whether genuine or not, with a concerned expression on her face, as if she was very worried about Nanaya Hori.

Even the rest of the students in the class glanced over, faintly sensing something unsettling about the dispute mentioned by Chabashira Sae in the morning and Nanaya Hori being called to the office.

In an ordinary school, this might not be a big deal.

However, over the past few months, everyone had come to understand that Advanced Nurturing High School was not an ordinary school. Unexpected things could happen at any time, and they were closely related to future prospects and current situations.

Therefore, it was inevitable for everyone to feel uneasy.

Otherwise, Horikita Suzune, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and Kushida Kikyou wouldn't have come over at the same time.

On the contrary, Sakura Airi, feeling the sudden increase in people around Nanaya Hori, quietly stood up and left as if she were not used to the commotion.

In this situation, Nanaya Hori said to everyone.

"You'll just have to wait and see."

Leaving behind these words, Nanaya Hori left the classroom regardless of everyone's reaction.

Horikita Suzune, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and Kushida Kikyou watched Nanaya Hori leave, lowered their heads, and fell into thought.

...

Advanced Nurturing High School, teacher's office.

After arriving here, Nanaya Hori knocked on the door, politely said "excuse me" and then pushed the door open.

What appeared before Nanaya Hori's eyes was an extremely cold space.

Perhaps it was because it was just after school, there was no one in the office, and Chabashira Sae's figure was nowhere to be seen.

No.

To say there was no one was not accurate.

In this office, there was only one female teacher playing with her phone, looking idle.

The sound of Nanaya Hori pushing the door seemed to attract her attention.

"Hmm?" The other person turned around and looked towards the door.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an excessively cute teacher.

She was probably in her early twenties, but because of her cute face, she seemed to give off the feeling of a university student still studying.

The other person had slightly curly hair at the ends, very fashionable, and her behavior was not like that of a teacher at all; it was full of a girlish flavor.

Seeing Nanaya Hori walk into the teacher's office, the other person tilted her head, cutely asking, "Do you need something?"

Her voice was also quite sweet.

Nanaya Hori looked at the other person for a moment, then spoke.

"Is Chabashira-sensei here?"

At the words, the other person seemed taken aback.

"You came to see Sae?" As if knowing something, the other person's eyes lit up, and with interest, she stared at Nanaya Hori, saying, "Are you that Nanaya from Class D?"

This time, Nanaya Hori was somewhat surprised.

"Do you know me?" Nanaya Hori said unexpectedly.

And this admission seemed to make the other person jump up like a girl, very happy and smiling.

"I knew it! You're the rumored Nanaya!" Saying this, the other person even approached with a smile on her face.

"I'm the class advisor for Class B, Hoshinomiya Chie."

As a teacher, Hoshinomiya Chie, who was overly cute, introduced herself very enthusiastically.

"Sae and I have been close friends since high school, the kind of relationship where we call each other by nicknames! Like how she call me little Chie" Hoshinomiya Chie said with a smile, making Nanaya Hori somewhat dumbfounded.

Little Chie?

Would Chabashira Sae, who always looked like someone owed her a few billion yen, call others so intimately?

Forget it.

If Chabashira Sae suddenly started calling others "Little Chie" in a sweet tone like a girl, even Nanaya Hori would be shocked.

Therefore, it's best to just listen to this kind of thing and not take it too seriously.

However...

"So, you're the class advisor for Class B, that teacher named Hoshinomiya?"

Nanaya Hori looked at Hoshinomiya Chie with a strange look.

No wonder Ichinose Honami would say there's a strange homeroom teacher in her class.

This teacher is just too girlish, isn't she?

Not knowing what Nanaya Hori was thinking, Hoshinomiya Chie simply smiled and clasped her hands together.

"Do you know me? Well, I'm honored!"

Hoshinomiya Chie, as if to observe Nanaya Hori, approached him while circling around him, continuously sizing him up, and finally came to Nanaya Hori's side.

"I've heard of Nanaya's name before! I was wondering what kind of person you were. Now that I see you, you seem much more handsome than the rumors say. You must be very popular in your class, right?"

Saying this, Hoshinomiya Chie leaned against Nanaya Hori and poked his cheek with her finger.

What should Nanaya Hori say?

If this teacher were a student, she would definitely be a more popular figure than Kushida Kikyou.

At least, all the boys at the school where this teacher teaches would surely be captivated.

"Have you already got a girlfriend, Nanaya-kun?"

"...No."

"Don't lie. You're so handsome, and as smart and capable as rumored, girls won't let you go. If I were in the same class as you, I definitely wouldn't let you get away~~~"

"...Unfortunately, in the eyes of others, I seem to be a solitary person."

"Is that so? But I think if it's Nanaya-kun, even if you're solitary, many girls would still like you, right?"

"..."

Nanaya Hori was then entangled by Hoshinomiya Chie.

Faced with Hoshinomiya Chie's enthusiasm, Nanaya Hori, although not as naive as a young man, was at a loss for words for a while.

Isn't this teacher too approachable?

It seems that a correction to the previous statement is needed.

Even if not a student, there would probably be many boys captivated by this teacher.
