2 Chapter_02

'The Results From When I Time Leaped to My Second Year of High School and Confessed to the Teacher I Liked at the Time' was the long-ass title of a work of fiction that I had read in my previous life.

That work of fiction was telling about Sanada Seiji.

Sanada Seiji had a mysterious power to travel time back and forth and woke up in his second-year high school. Also, he used his time-traveling power to court his crush—the most popular female teacher in his senior high school.

That work of fiction began as a web novel.

When it got adapted to the light novel format, it was five volumes long.

I had never read the light novel version, but I had read the web novel version till the end.

I had used machine translation, though. It had been a hassle. Still, the story was entertaining.

Anyway, Hiragi Haruka was the main heroine of that work of fiction.

After Seiji traveled to the past for the first time, he confessed his love to Haruka and got accepted.

They became a couple.

However, their relationships faced many hardships, ranging from some misunderstandings that made them break up, and the complication with Haruka's parents.

Seiji used his time-traveling power to get the best ending that he desired with Haruka.

Personally, I felt like the original Seiji had wasted the true potential of his power.

I felt confident that I could do better in the original Seiji's place.

As I stared at Haruka, I find her looking back in my direction over her shoulder.

*Ba-dump!*

My heart throbbed when our eyes met.

(Ah. I am in love with her. This unfathomable love belongs to Seiji. Since I have fully absorbed him, this feeling is mine now…)

There was nothing I could do but to accept the Original Seiji's feelings for Hiragi Haruka.

Right at this moment, I promised myself that I would do better than the Original Seiji.

Haruka and I would become a happy couple, marry and build a family, have a few cute children, and enjoy a fulfilling life until we grow old together.

There was nothing that can stop me from accomplishing my goal!

Feeling Haruka's stare, I calmly put my cell phone back into the pocket of my uniform.

After that, I saw Haruka turning her head back to the blackboard and resuming her interrupted activity.

"Alright, hand over some pencil lead," Fujimoto said as he took my pencil and some lead from it.

After that, I thought about the story of the original Seiji that I could remember.

There were many things to consider.

Before long, the bell rang to signify the end of the class.

"Sanada-san, please come to the staff room later."

Haruka said to me before leaving the classroom.

From Haruka's tone, she seemed rather displeased by my previous action.

Somehow, I felt unwell when Haruka was displeased with me.

I guess my infatuation for her made me feel bad for displeasing her.

"Your cell phone is going to be confiscated~."

Fujimoto gave me a light pat on the shoulder as he said that in a happy tone.

I disregard Fujimoto's schadenfreude and quickly chased after Haruka.

Soon, I caught Haruka before the stairs at the end of the empty corridor.

After our distance got closer, I called for her and got her attention.

"Sensei, wait please! Is there something you need?"

Haruka stopped and turned her body around.

I started dazing off when I see Haruka closely.

Haruka was cute and erotic… She had a pure and cute face, yet her body was so erotic…

Honestly, Haruka was the perfect mix of innocence and eroticism in one package!

I felt overwhelmed. I was also speechless as I stood there in a daze.

"Indeed, I need something from you. Now, bring it out!"

Haruka's statement woke me up.

I already knew what would happen next, so I decided to go to the point.

No! I must make it better than what the original Seiji had done!

The corridor was strangely empty. There was still one class before school ended.

I had ten minutes to talk with Haruka until the next class began.

This was the perfect chance given by one of my traits/abilities.

The trait/ability in question was called 'Devil's Luck.' As the name implied, it made me extremely lucky.

As an aside, the cost of 'Devil's Luck' was 20 CPs.

It was the most costly trait/ability that I had picked up.

After taking out my cellphone, I put it on Haruka's waiting hand. I grabbed her shoulder with my free hand and pushed her on the wall.

*BAM!*

I released her hand that was holding my cell phone before using my newly freed hand to slam the wall behind her.

I stared into her blue eyes, which stare back in shock.

"Sensei—no! Hiragi Haruka. I love you—!"

I finally said it. I even put all my feelings in that confession!

It was embarrassing.

Even doing Kabedon was so embarrassing!

However, I hid my embarrassment behind my calm face.

Haruka had a wide-eyed expression, her cheeks were reddening, and her mouth was agape.

Because of my over the top confession and Kabedon, Haruka was speechless.

I decided to push on ahead.

"I love you, Hiragi Haruka. It has been a year since this feeling appeared. When I saw you for the first time, I fell in love with you. At first, I thought it is only a fleeting crush, but after months passed, my feelings just grew up stronger. I finally recognized it as what it is…I am completely and utterly in love with you, Hiragi Haruka."

I was fully aware of how corny my confession was. But, it was filled with my genuine feelings for Hiragi Haruka because of absorbing the original Seiji's unrequited love.

"Uu…That is…umm…uee~," Haruka incoherently stuttered. Her face was beet red, and her eyes were roaming everywhere but fixed on my eyes.

Because of how strong I had confessed my love, Haruka was at a loss.

I knew that Haruka never had a boyfriend in her life. My forceful love confession had shaken her so much.

Then, I spoke up without waiting for her reply.

I never intended to get her answer immediately.

"I won't force you to answer me quickly. I am not that inconsiderate. I am satisfied with confessing this feelings to the source directly. You may think your answer carefully. Thank you for your time and attention."

I pulled back from Haruka and turned my body around.

I returned to my class, leaving the frozen Haruka on her spot before the wall.

Before I turned around, I saw Haruka pressing her chest with her hands.

Her eyes were apparently glassy as her mind was somewhere else.

Her heart must have been throbbing furiously too.

That was enough. Such a reaction was what I needed to be sure of Haruka's positive answer later.

I knew what kind of creature Hiragi Haruka was.

Haruka was a creature of emotions. She did not follow the logic and followed her feelings instead.

Haruka accepted the original Seiji's love confession because she was emotional and impulsive.

There was no logical and reasonable reason behind her acceptance.

Haruka accepted Seiji's love confession because he had made her heart throbbing.

Indeed, Hiragi Haruka was both simple and complex creatures in one package.

She was simple because of her decision making that heavily relied on her emotions.

Simultaneously, she was complex because emotions were often unpredictable.

I returned to my class, and before long, the next homeroom began.

I put my concerns aside and recalled what I know from the original work up to the last chapters that I had read.

There were many things to take into consideration.

Even though I had the foreknowledge from the original work, everything was not set on the stone.

The chance that something here was different was high.

I must be careful with my plots.

If I wanted to get the best outcome, I must proactively use all the opportunities presented before me.

As I continued plotting my future, time passed by slowly.

Even though I did not really put much effort into the class, my 'Enhanced Intellect' allowed me to absorb the school materials with no problem.

That could be considered cheating.

And yet, the mysterious power to travel through time was also a cheat, right?

Cheat or not, I promised myself that I would get the best ending that I desired in this new life!
