Short Story 3 : Sae Chiyabashira's SS - Confused but Resolute

"I'M GOING BACK to my room! Bye!"

After shouting loudly to the extent of causing a nuisance to the hotel, Chie left unhappily. As a teacher, I was shocked to see her acting like this.

"I'm sorry for what happened earlier." she said, as if she was complaining, probably because she was a little drunk.

If she hadn't been drunk, she wouldn't have let anyone see her like this, right?

"It's okay, it's just a joke after drinking, I'll put a deaf ear to it." Horikita said something unlike a student.

"You're really strict, Horikita"

"You're a little concerned, aren't you, sensei?"

"To be honest, it's impossible not to think about it. Your class is so different from the one I took three years ago."

Of course, the students are not the only ones to blame for what happened in the last class. It is also the responsibility of the class teacher who was not motivated to move up to Class A. In other words, it means that it is inseparable from my inaction. At that time, if I had harboured the same enthusiasm as I do now, there might have been some possibilities.

No... That's a bit of an exaggeration. Even excluding my own reasons, the class is growing beyond belief now. Even excluding my own reasons, the class is now growing beyond imagination. The main reason for this… is undoubtedly the presence of Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

"I don't know if Ayanokoji-kun is a Joker, however I can't deny that he is strong as a fellow classmate. But I don't plan to have any scruples about it."

[Note: Joker refers to the trump card in poker, the big monster.]

As if reading my heart, my heart beat a little faster.

"Since this card is assigned to your class, you should use it to fight, shouldn't you? After all, we're aiming for Class A."

"Yes. That's my intention, too."

The sense of unfairness caused by overuse of powerful cards. I can't let that make me waver and hold back. It would be too rude to the students of other classes who are serious about the class competition.

"Okay... I'm going to go find Chie, if I leave her alone she might drink until dawn."

Even so, I can't treat the matter of Chie casually.If you ignore her easily, she may act beyond the teacher's limits.

Then again, I have to re-examine myself at the same time.
