Temporary Duo

While everyone was still dreaming, Rito's voice woke everyone up. "Don't dream all the time! I have said it before, but he's my husband-to-be!"

"...."

Everyone stared at Rito and thought that this woman's head wasn't right.

Rito also didn't care about their reaction and continued with her duty as a teacher.

Soon the student handbook, student cards, and dormitory guidebooks were distributed when the self-introductions ended.

"It's all distributed to the students, huh, huh? Each individual, please read through the school and dorm regulations when you have time later and, if you don't, then I'll scold you, okay~~ Also, the student card is used as a credit card, so please be careful not to lose it."

Tsukasa looked at his student card, which could be used as a credit card in the entire school. He could spend up to 100,000 yen each month, showing the generosity of the school.

Hearing that they could spend so much money, everyone became so excited.

"Okay, okay. I understand your feelings but keep quiet~~. For the last part, I will explain the special system of this school and the dormitory room separation before I end today's talk. If you all want to make noise, do it then." Rito looked at everyone for a moment and saw they had become quiet, so she continued with her explanation. "First off, I want to talk about the special system. It's very important to listen to it properly~~!"

Rito clapped her hands together and started talking about the so-called special system.

"Our school has a partner system called Duo. You all should understand from the word partner, though, two people will form one group and receive lessons. You'll also live together with your partner."

'Duo?' Tsukasa was confused, but somehow, he felt something weird might happen, and he also wondered why it had to be a Duo, and couldn't it be a Solo or a Group?

When he thought, "why?" another student also asked why they needed to make a Duo.

"When you graduate from here, you will all know you will be attached to the Dawn organization's peace preservation team, right? You all will execute the missions normally in two-man in one group or maybe in a team with more numbers than that."

"...…Even though it will probably be impossible if we are told to be active in a team immediately after graduation, so 'get used to it in our school,' is that what you are implying?"

"That is exactly right. You sure get it Tachibana-san~~."

Tsukasa looked at the cute girl who wielded a kusarigama before since she was the one who asked that question.

"Now then. Now then, it's regarding the Duo, but, just like I said just now, both of you will be doing a lot of different types of lessons. So, regarding that relationship, I am sorry about the hurry, but you will choose your official partner by the end of this weekend, so from tomorrow onwards, good luck finding your partner to attend the classes. Fiiiiiight!!!...…..ah, by any chance if you can't decide, we will pick one for you, so it's okay to rest assured, okay~~."

'Duo, huh?'

Tsukasa subconsciously looked at Julie, and she also happened to look at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment before Julie looked away with a blush on her face.

"...." Tsukasa.

"So, the real part starts here~~. Actually, after the Duo is teamed up in this school, there is a rule where they will have to know each other deeply and pass the time together as much as possible to strengthen their bonds together. Well, what I want to say is you will be made to share rooms in the dorm~~!"

Tsukasa had stayed in the same room with the opposite gender, so he didn't feel anything about it. He also wanted to stay with a girl since if he was attacked at night, it was better to be attacked by a girl, right?

"Usa-sensei, can I ask you something?"

"Yes, Darling?"

"...Please call my name."

"Yes, Darling?"

"..."

"You have said the Duo will be decided by this weekend, so who will we live with on the shared dorm before we have decided our Duo?"

"Fufu, nice question. Sensei is happy you noticed that~~ Should I give you a kiss?"

"Can you continue with the explanation?"

Rito pouted, but then her expression turned ugly when she realized what was going to happen next.

"What's wrong, Sensei?"

Everyone somehow realized Rito's expression started to become ugly.

Rito didn't really want to answer, but when she thought about Sakuya, she could only let out a sigh and said, "Before then, you'll be spending your time in a temporary Duo until then."

"Temporary duo?"

"Yeah..." Rito even became more gloomy as she lowered her head, gritting her teeth, and she said, "Your temporary Duo has been decided. Basically, just like at the entrance ceremony, your partner will be the person sitting next to you."

"...The person next to you?"

The students started to turn to look at the student next to them.

Tsukasa and Julie looked at each other for a moment, but while they looked at each other, everyone in the class also realized that they would stay in the same room from now on!

"This is a school rule, so denial is useless, and you can't reject the decision."

Mikuni suddenly said since Rito just laid on the table depressedly. He had been in this class for a while, but Rito attracted too much attention, so he was ignored by everyone in this class, and it wasn't until he talked that they realized he was there.

However, neither of them cared about Mikuni since all of their minds were preoccupied with the thought that Tsukasa and Julie were going to stay together!

"The-They're going to stay together!"

"Is-Is this really okay?"

"...I'm so jealous."

While many of them said something might happen between Tsukasa and Julie, some of them mixed their selfish desires.

"Tsukasa, you need to remember that you can't do whatever you please with her! In other words, you can have a se---!"

Mikuni threw chalk at Rito when she almost said the taboo words. He then looked at Tsukasa and said, "Kugayama-kun, visit the headmaster's office later."

"Okay." Tsukasa nodded calmly.

"Wa-Wait, Sensei! Is this really okay?" The girl, whose name was Tomoe, asked hurriedly. "The two are a female and a male. Where's the common sense in this school?!"

"Do you think a school having an entrance exam during the enrollment ceremony, and what's more conducted a real fight, is normal?"

"...."

Everyone was silent, and they couldn't say anything again.

However, Tsukasa and Julie were unfazed by the crowd, and they lowered their heads slightly.

"Nice to meet you, Ku-Kugayama Tsukasa," Julie said feeling slightly nervous.

"Nice to meet you too, Sigtuna-san. You don't need to call me by my full name. You can call me either Kugayama or Tsukasa." Tsukasa showed a gentle smile.

"Ja. Then I'll call you Tsukasa." Her ruby eyes stared at his profile and said, "Also, please call me Julie, Tsukasa."

"Then, Julie."

His deep voice struck into her mind, which caused Julie to stare at Tsukasa in a daze.

"Julie?"

"...Ja."

Julie somehow anticipated her cohabitation life.
