Is He Really a Tsundere?

"If that's the case, let's go."

When Mafuyu became aware, she saw Ren sitting near the window, gazing at her. The morning sun illuminated his face, making him look handsome.

"Is there something on my face?" Mafuyu asked a bit shyly.

She wasn't used to being stared at by students while wearing her high school uniform.

"No, I just feel like Sensei is like a student."

Ren stood up and walked towards the door.

"Maybe because I'm wearing the school uniform." Mafuyu explained casually, standing up. "Since you've finished grabbing your things, let's head back quickly."

"No one is outside; you can go out."

After opening the door, walking out of the class, and checking the corridor, Ren turned to face her and said.

"Um."

Mafuyu then walked out and closed the classroom door.

"Come this way."

Hiding behind Ren, Mafuyu commanded.

"Yes."

Ren complied and walked in the direction she indicated. After walking for a while, he realized that Mafuyu wasn't following but had stopped in front of the window, looking outside.

"Sensei, what are you looking at?"

Seeing this, Ren walked closer and stood beside her, also looking outside.

"Not much is visible. Sorry, it takes a bit of time."

Taking her gaze away, Mafuyu shook her head slightly.

"It's okay."

Ren didn't mind this at all and looked in the direction Mafuyu had looked before.

There was a field, and many students were practicing on the field and engaging in club activities.

"Kamikawa-san, don't you have any idea of joining a club?"

Realizing his gaze, Mafuyu asked casually.

"No."

After answering her question first, Ren then asked, "Sensei, do you think I should join a club?"

When he first entered school, he had the idea of joining a club, but he quickly gave up.

"I never said that." Mafuyu objected. "I'm just asking to satisfy my curiosity."

"Curiosity?" Ren looked at her a little confused. "Sensei, are you curious about me?"

"One of the reasons is, anyway, you're so special."

After turning to look at him for a few seconds, Mafuyu answered slowly.

It was the first time she met such a special student like Ren since becoming a teacher.

It was confusing that Ren was clearly superior in every aspect, yet he deliberately hid it and didn't want to show it at all.

Not only his extraordinary abilities but also his appearance.

Mafuyu knew Ren's true appearance. After all, Ren didn't wear glasses when he transferred here. She remembered it very clearly because he looked very handsome back then.

Could hiding excellence be popular now?

"I'm not special at all." Ren corrected.

"..."

Mafuyu didn't answer and just continued to stare at him.

Is Ren really a tsundere?

He doesn't even want to admit the obvious.

"Okay, you're not special." Mafuyu said obediently, "With my previous behavior, you can understand that I care about you."

It's normal for a teacher to care about their student.

"Thank you, Sensei." Ren expressed his gratitude.

"No need to say that; it's also my duty."

With a sigh, Mafuyu turned around and stopped staring at him.

"Okay, we've been here too long; let's go quickly."

She unintentionally became so obsessed with him that she almost forgot she was still in a state that could be exposed at any time.

"Um."

Both of them headed towards the school parking lot.

...

"It's safe."

After expending a lot of energy, Mafuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to the car.

When she was in the corridor and other places earlier, she worried that someone might suddenly appear from a strange place and see her like this.

Fortunately, what she worried about didn't happen, and she returned to the car smoothly.

Ren sat in the passenger seat, not speaking, and fastened seatbelt.

"Kamikawa-san, before I take you home, can I go to the laundromat to pick up my clothes?"

While fastening seatbelt, Mafuyu asked for his opinion.

If she didn't get her uniform back today, she wouldn't have suitable clothes to wear to school tomorrow, so it's better to get it back as soon as possible.

Besides, she didn't want to keep wearing this school uniform continuously.

"Okay." Ren never paid attention to trivial things like that.

"In that case, sit quietly."

Therefore, Mafuyu gripped the steering wheel, started the car slowly, then hurried out of the school at a very fast speed and headed to the dry-cleaning store.

It didn't take long for the car to stop in a roadside parking space.

"We're here."

After parking the car, Mafuyu unbuckled her seatbelt, took out her wallet, pulled out a two-thousand-yen bill, and handed it to Ren.

Pointing to the cafe not far away, Mafuyu said, "That's the cafe. Kamikawa-san, buy two cups of coffee. I'll go to the laundromat to get my clothes."

She couldn't sit in the cafe and enjoy coffee leisurely like this, so she could only treat him like this to express her gratitude.

"Okay." After taking the money, Ren asked, "What type of coffee do you want?"

"The same as you."

Mafuyu answered casually that she didn't have a specific preference for coffee.

"In that case, I'll buy it first."

Seeing her still looking around, Ren got out of the car first and walked towards the cafe.

Watching his retreating back, Mafuyu still sat in the car waiting.

There were many people around her, so she planned to wait until there were fewer people before getting out.

Not many people were in the cafe, so it wouldn't take her much time to buy two cups of coffee.

After coming out of the cafe with two cups of coffee, Ren happened to see Mafuyu coming out of the car and walking towards the laundromat.

Did she wait so long to get out?

After sighing in his heart, Ren began to walk slowly.

Since Mafuyu had just passed by, it didn't matter if he took his time and looked around.

When he came to the car and pulled the passenger door, he found that it was locked. Ren had to stand on the side of the road and wait.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from behind.

"Kamikawa-san, are you waiting for someone?"
