"Teacher Nobuko, I have some things to do this afternoon and would like to ask for leave, thank you."
In the office, the girl in her shirt and school uniform spoke to the homeroom teacher in front of her, with politeness so extreme... that her cool gaze didn't show the slightest ripple, as if the two were on equal grounds, with no awareness of needing to request a leave of absence.
As for the homeroom teacher, Nobuko Onuma, she could only smile helplessly; the other party was the daughter of the school director, the young miss of the Chiba Family, consistent top of her grade. It wouldn't be a problem, not just for an afternoon off but even if she were to miss the entire week.
However, her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the two people standing behind the girl: a tall figure dressed in a fitted Western-style school uniform, exuding a nobleman's confidence and charm, and beside him, a young lady of equally stunning figure and heiress stature.
