Reporting the Clown
“You’re finally here. You took your sweet time, huh?”
That was Hayashi-sensei’s first words to me as soon as I opened the door. She didn’t even bother looking up from her table. She’s expecting me, after all.
From the looks of that busy table, her work had piled up again. Whether that was an issue for our school or not, I had no idea but this woman... She’s hard-working for a school owner. No wonder she would always go act like a school nurse. That’s probably her pastime.
“Ah. I’m sorry. I got delayed by some idiot on my way to pick up my girl.”
“Your girl? Oh...”
“Good afternoon, sensei.”
Hayashi-sensei lifted her head and saw Shizu clinging tightly next to me. Then, as though showing off, Shizu greeted her mentor with a polite smile.
The woman chuckled and put down the pen in her hand before reclining her back on her luxurious chair.
