At the present, Basara and the others went to the
demon realm, to conclude the war against the
current Demon Lord Faction and the Moderate
Faction.
Hijirigasaka Academy, the school in which
Basara, Mio, and Yuki attended, was beginning its
third term.
Although Basara and the others thought of
treasuring their daily life as much as possible, it
wasn't possible with them having to end the war
condition in the demon realm, which decides its
future, school then began as they were absent.
As soon as the third term started, the school
worried about the absence of the three of them who
all live in the same house. Especially as in the
Toujou house, the guardian, Basara's father, had
quickly gone overseas for his job too…
Furthermore, Basara's class, 1-B, had a
"Problem", which doesn't lessen their worry. Since
the sports festival in spring, there had been trouble
happening with the mysterious disappearance of the
homeroom teacher Sakazaki Mamoru.
With that said, when Basara and the others went
to the demon realm, they installed a special magic
chip in their phones. This let them contact the
school saying, "we went overseas during winter
vacation, but it seems our return to japan will be
delayed due to trouble at our travel destination."
That way it wouldn't be taken as a serious problem.
However, there are some that were worried that
Basara and company weren't attending school.
Others that were lonely and missed them in their
absence.
This is evidence that Basara and company had
made a place where they could belong at the school.
—A short time later, the third day after the third
term had started.
Hijirigasaka Academy's Pride, "The Too
Beautiful School Nurse", Hasegawa Chisato was,
sitting in her castle, the infirmary, attending to one
of the students.
As he sat in front of the cross-legged Hasegawa.
"Um… Hasegawa-sensei, it seems like Toujoukun and the others haven't returned to school."
The one who said that with a worried expression
surfacing on his face was the most charming at this
school, mostly rumored as "Miracle Boy",
Tachibana Nanao.
With her fingers in front of her chest, crossing in
the crevices of her hands, to the Nanao who looked
at her with an upturned glance, "Yes, so it seems…"
Hasegawa said, replying with a nod without
seeming moved.
"…Sensei, are you not worried?"
Nanao asked knitting his eyebrows together,
looking puzzled…
With him doing that, she can see awkwardness in
the eyes of Nanao in front of her.
Oh my, what a maiden in love.
Hasegawa smiled bitterly without thinking.
Nanao didn't know Hasegawa's true form but,
Hasegawa knows the secret of Nanao's true form
—About how Nanao was a half vampire, how in
a fixed cycle regarding the changes of his hormone
balance, that body is both one of a boy and a girl,
how there are idiosyncrasies with changing in
between both genders.
—Of course, it wasn't that Nanao opened up
about those secrets to Hasegawa.
It was just something that Hasegawa, who even
among the heavenly beings is of the highest ranked
Ten Gods, could see through normally.
In response to Nanao,
"Toujou-kun and the others have been giving us
updates on the situation overseas often. You're his
friend, did he not contact you directly?"
Hasegawa who asked that,
"That is… Yes."
Nanao nodded, but his expression remained
clouded.
…It can't be helped huh?
Just like Hasegawa, Nanao knows that Basara has
gone off to the demon realm.
Even though he received emails from Basara
saying "it's okay", and to not worry about him, it
can't be helped that he would be worried.
It was hard for Hasegawa to put Nanao's worry
aside.
To Nanao as of now, Basara's words would carry
more weight than Hasegawa's.
It's not as if there was no way to manipulate
Nanao's memory using her powers as Afureia, one
of the Ten Gods. Even though the power of the Ten
Gods' was meant to be used for Basara's sake, it was
still possible in regards to Nanao's memory, that is,
"if Nanao worries, it will be a disadvantage for
Basara", in that kind of way it would be most likely
able to get through the system.
…However.
Nanao is an important friend to Basara. Most
likely, like Mio and the others, Nanao is included in
the line of people Basara will "always protect".
If Hasegawa recklessly alters the memory and
spirit of Nanao, even though it's her, Basara might
avoid her.
That's why Hasegawa tried a different approach
to clear Nanao's worry.
"–Tachibana, why do you think I'm worried
about Toujou and the others?"
Hasegawa asked with a slightly teasing tone.
The method Hasegawa had chosen to dissolve
Nanao's worry.
It was, provocation.
As she changed the topic, Nanao said,
"Because, that is…"
Just as he said that much, he turned red and his
mouth muffled.
—Perhaps Nanao would just stop talking, getting
to this point.
Or now, it was possible that he couldn't put his
other problems into words.
However,
Looking straight at Hasegawa, he gulped down
and said,
As his cheeks were dyed scarlet,
"Sensei too… is going out with Toujou-kun
right?"
Even so, his gaze met with Hasegawa's.
Accepting Nanao's provocation, A coquettish
smile surfaced on Hasegawa's face.
…As expected.
The questions he had been asking from earlier,
with no doubt meant, as Basara's lover, then one
can't take responsibility regarding what's happening.
But.
…Sensei too, huh?
The "too" that left Nanao's lips was not "too" in
conjunction with Nanao.
Most likely, Nanao more or less could guess
about the relationship between Basara, Mio, and the
others.
Therefore "Hasegawa too".
As she thinks about the way Nanao is thinking,
she says a fact.
"I'm not sure if there's been a misunderstanding
somewhere, but Toujou and I aren't lovers you
know?"
It's not a lie.
Of course, she and Basara had tied that secret
bond between a man and a woman after the sports
festival but, it would be wrong to call that a lover's
relationship.
…Well.
From Hasegawa's perspective, she wouldn't deny
how her supposedly guardian love for him had
completely turned into that of romantic love.
That's why Hasegawa did not say "I don't have a
romantic relationship with Toujou", but rather
chose to say "Toujou and I aren't lovers", which hid
her feelings.
What Nanao asked was most definitely in regard
to Basara, not Hasegawa, hence that phrasing was
not wrong.
However, even though it was impossible for
Nanao to deduce her true feelings,
"But… At the end of the night during the term
closing party, you took a taxi together with Toujoukun."
He said, tapering off.
"I was just drunk then, and Toujou was worried
and took me home. There's nothing for you to
worry about."
"Is that the truth?"
"Yeah…"
Basara didn't simply take her back and go home.
Basara got out of the taxi at Hasegawa's invitation
and went into her apartment.
He had fondled her breasts as their tongues
intertwined in the elevator, and as soon as they got
into the bedroom of the flat, she had invited him
onto her bed, saying "tonight, would you like to see
an older woman in a wreck?", extending their
obscene actions.
Basara's member was pressed in the valley of
Hasegawa's breasts as she sucked on it lewdly until
his semen was guided out of it, and Basara then put
his member in between her panties roughly, as it
rubbed wantonly against Hasegawa's womanly
place, she received unbelievable pleasure, and with
that, having a climax to the extent that it brought
out her goddess form.
That was the truth of that evening.
…But.
It wasn't as if that evening was the only time it
suddenly went in that direction.
The relationship between Basara and Hasegawa,
even before that —it was something that started a
few days after the end of the sports festival in this
very infirmary.
With that, to her words of "it's nothing",
"Is that so… I'm sorry."
Nanao apologized, concealing his eyes.
—However, it didn't feel as if he completely
believed what Hasegawa said.
Most likely, Nanao even just a little could guess
the relationship between Hasegawa and Basara,
"There isn't any need to worry about Toujou —it
seems like he will return in a day or two."
"…Has he contacted you?"
Nanao who asked, looking up with a surprised
face, Hasegawa replied with a "yes", accompanied
with a smile.
–But the person who had passed on that
information to Hasegawa the other night was not
Basara himself, but Jin.
The conflict with the Current Demon Lord
faction, as well as the political powers from the
Moderates, and the chain of political problems with
Mio had been settled for the moment, she seemed
to have now returned with Basara to the base of the
Moderate faction of the demon realm. But it was
said only Basara and company would come back.
Jin would stay there a little longer to find the
information regarding Sapphire.
Surely understanding that Basara would come
back soon would calm him down.
After talking for a while more,
"So, then I should excuse myself,"
Saying that with a smile, Nanao ran out of the
infirmary.
And then, Hasegawa was now alone.
"Oh my… You're so very popular aren't you,
Toujou?"
Saying that with a bitter smile.
Even though Basara now could say he had made
Mio and the others, as well as Hasegawa his, that
part had also, with no mistake, extended into
Nanao's feelings.
…And then there's one more person,
Most likely, the vice-president Kajiura Rikka too.
She, too, is probably thinking of Basara right now.
But there's no need to worry about her. Surely
right now, Nanao is returning to the student council
room and telling her the information about Basara's
return for sure.
That's why.
"—Toujou"
Hasegawa once more thought of the boy she held
dearer than anyone else.
—Hasegawa vividly remembered the day she
started a secret relationship with Basara.
Thinking of Basara is painful, bitter… wanting to
be saved, wanting Basara to answer that final line
they cannot cross.
That's why Hasegawa stripped off her white coat,
becoming just a woman instead of a teacher, inviting
Basara as she stretched out the chest opening of her
sweater, exposing her chest. At that time, Hasegawa
had spread herself on the wheelie chair that Nanao
had just sat on.
The way Hasegawa looked made Basara unable to
repress his arousal –and from then on, it was
nothing but a happy time.
Pulled up to stand from her chair strongly, he
roughly stole a kiss.
While lewdly fondling her breasts, he dragged her
to a bed of the infirmary.
And then, when they arrived at the bed, they
took off each other's clothes one by one till they're
naked, confirming each other's bodies till they're
sure of them.
This infirmary, meant to be used by the students
and staff of the school, at that day, from that time
on, became like a place where, for that moment, was
theirs, for just their rendezvous.
Hasegawa wished to be taught the ways to please
Basara, and the initially hesitant Basara too,
gradually began to teach her, even though they
locked the door so they're not found, occasionally,
other students or teachers may come close to the
door, but now that only added to the excitement.
Hasegawa Chisato's heart and body became
Basara's to that extent. And during the winter break
when she didn't see him even once, her feelings had
risen to the point where she could no longer control
them.
"So then… How can we make up for it?"
As she said that, she chuckled.
In the demon realm, he must've certainly
deepened his bonds with Mio and the others.
So then, it would be unfair if she didn't get
plenty of his affection.
Before long, she had an idea
She muttered with a smile.
"…Right, let's go to the hot springs."
Of course, just her with Basara. She could say
they'd even stay overnight.
When Basara returned from the demon realm,
she had decided to attain submission from him till
dawn.
The night she spent with him –on Christmas Eve.
–She had been a good girl alone all of the winter
break.
It should be about time for Santa Claus to bring
her a present
