Crossing over, and then being blocked by a rich JK.

Chapter 493 Her "Double Standards"

For high school students who are in their adolescence, the words "group activity" are inherently very attractive, especially since the location of this group activity is their familiar school.

As one student joked on the school forum, the night before the official start of the school festival is a very special 'after-festival' exclusively for the students of Jonan Private High School.

"Then our preparations will conclude here."

After a light cough, Ishikawa Natsumi and Mikawa Yui, who are relatively more outgoing, exchanged a glance before uttering the words that symbolized the complete conclusion of the preparations.

"Great!"

A boy from Class C excitedly pumped his fist. He had been looking forward to it ever since the class monitor made the decision to hold a last-minute party.

If it weren't for his 'professional spirit' repeatedly emphasizing his dedication, he would have already dropped what he was doing and just waited.

However, despite saying that, he was still somewhat distracted when doing the finishing touches.

After all, he genuinely enjoys this kind of activity.

"So when does the party start? Now? Or should we take a break first?"

A girl from Class B raised her hand and looked at Ishikawa Natsumi with anticipation.

Theoretically speaking, everyone should take a break after finishing their work, but she still had some unrealistic expectations. What if?
"Let's take a ten-minute break, and then we'll begin."

Natsumi Ishikawa rolled up her sleeves and glanced at the watch on her wrist.

It's only 10:20 pm, which means they still have plenty of time.

An hour and a half is more than enough time for everyone to build.

Of course, if everyone is still full of energy and chatting until midnight, we can extend the time a bit. However, the time will be limited, and the more time we play, the less time we will have to rest.

However, based on her observations over this period, everyone seemed to be full of energy, especially at events that combined elements of gossip, talent shows, and subtle hints of confession.

Who doesn't love watching real-life youth romance dramas?

Even though this youth romance drama will mostly end in tragedy.

But as the saying goes, it's precisely because it's unpredictable that it's interesting and creates anticipation.

"hai!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down on the floor, prompting a somewhat disorderly but powerful response from the students who filled the classroom.

"So you're going to go up and lead the charge later?"

Turning his gaze away from Ishikawa Natsumi, Watanabe Yu took the initiative to start a conversation.

He really wanted to see Kiriyama confess his feelings on the spot.

Generally speaking, extroverted people are often conflicted when it comes to relationships.

When faced with someone they truly like, they often become unusually introverted, shy, and find it difficult to express their feelings. In contrast, normally introverted people will act completely differently in such situations, going straight to the point and being willing, or rather, extremely eager to take the initiative.

For example, Ryoko and Ayana.

These two girls are both incredibly direct and adept at stirring his heartstrings.

All I can say is that he was incredibly gifted to have lasted that long.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Kiriyama rolled his eyes and gave him a look that said, "What are you thinking?"

Didn't he already say that his rebroadcast of his confession was tied to his singing show?

Without background music, how can he and Maki get into character faster?
Confessing your feelings is like doing *that* kind of thing; if you force it before the right atmosphere, you'll just end up in an awkward position, unable to accept or reject.

"You mean you want to let that guy go up first?"

Watanabe Yu raised his chin, gesturing for Kiriyama Kazuma to look towards Class B.

The guy who had been "fighting" with him at dusk now seemed unusually hesitant, glancing at them every now and then.

"I'm thinking of giving up." Kiriyama Kazuma looked in the direction Watanabe Yu indicated, and after seeing the boy's expression, he scratched his cheek. "There's no need to let a moment of anger prevent you from talking to the girl you like until graduation."

He confessed to Maki because they were boyfriend and girlfriend, and he did indeed miss the chance to express his feelings in public like Maki did, but the guy in Class B didn't have a girlfriend.

In other words, his "confession" this time was a direct approach to the girl he liked.

Yes, straight shots are good, but it also depends on how you play them and who you play them with. Playing with the right people is definitely better the more you play with them.

There's a saying that's very true: if you don't express your inner thoughts, how will others know what you're thinking?

"Wow, so gentle?"

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Yu glanced at Kiriyama Kazuma with some surprise.

They haven't even seen each other for three days, so how come this kid has suddenly become so understanding?

"Isn't this the most basic thing?"

Kiriyama Kazuma punched Watanabe Yu in the shoulder.

Aside from his parents, only Watanabe and Maki could speak so directly.

"Really?"

"real!"

"Come on," Watanabe Yu pouted. "If it were the old you, you would have just fanned the flames and let this guy spend the rest of the year and a half in regret."

"I thought you were going to say two and a half years."

Kiriyama and Ma picked up the conversation.

"?"

When I type a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, it’s that you have a problem.

"Isn't this what you said before?" Kiriyama Kazuma turned his head and looked at the bright wooden floor reflecting the light of the hanging lamp. "The training period is two and a half years or something."

Although he has a poor memory for studying, he has an excellent memory for pranks and other effective activities.

It's no exaggeration to say that he has a photographic memory.

"Ahem, that's all in the past. He's already proven himself." Watanabe Yu coughed lightly, changing the subject. "So, are you going to speak for yourself, or have someone else do it for you?"

In his opinion, it's best to say it yourself.

But frankly, this is only his perspective; how to actually do it is up to Kiriyama himself.

"I'll go by myself."

With that, Kiriyama and Ma patted their trouser legs and stood up.

then.

He immediately put his arm around Watanabe Yu's shoulder.

"what happened?"

Watanabe Yu glanced at him with some confusion.

"My legs are numb."

He hadn't felt anything when he was sitting cross-legged before, but now that he suddenly stood up, the electric-like tingling sensation really made him experience what it means to be unable to stand.

"6."

What could Watanabe Yu say? He couldn't say anything.

"Okay, it's all right now!" A minute later, Kiriyama and Ma let go of Watanabe Yu's shoulders, moved their legs which had barely regained feeling, and after confirming that everything was alright, they walked towards Class B.

"Maybe this is what youth is all about."

Watching Kiriyama and Ma's departing figures, Watanabe Yu subconsciously shook his head and murmured a sigh.

It's only at times like these, when he has to say what he shouldn't, that he feels the joy of being young.

But then again, he's still very young.

Why do you always look so old-fashioned?

Risa Yasuhara, who had entered the classroom at some point, made a comment and then sat down next to him.

"Hello, Professor Yasuhara!"

"Hello, Sister Yasuhara."

Upon noticing Risa Yasuhara's arrival, all the students in Class C turned around and greeted her.

"Hmm." Seeing all the gazes directed at her, Risa Yasuhara nodded smoothly and then explained, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to watch the show. What you do is your business."

She had been a student herself, so she naturally knew what these students were thinking.

"That's it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, many students in Class C breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, Risa usually has a good relationship with them and takes good care of them during group activities, but one thing is one thing, and this kind of 'impromptu party' that she arranged herself is a bit excessive at this time.

If something is unreasonable and doesn't hold water, then you'll definitely feel guilty.

"Alright, you all just mind your own business." Risa Yasuhara waved her hand, signaling everyone to stop worrying about her, then turned to Yu Watanabe with a helpless expression, "So, is it really necessary to act all old-fashioned at a time like this?"

It's one thing for Yu to act old-fashioned at work, but what's the point of acting old-fashioned at a time like this?
He's not old at all, and he's not at an age where he needs to worry about these kinds of things.

There's a saying that goes, "Those who sigh often let happiness slip away."

"It was just a subconscious reaction." Watanabe Yu laughed it off and explained with an embarrassed smile, "Risa-nee, put yourself in her shoes. When you see your best friend suddenly become sensible, wouldn't you feel the same way?"

"..."

Risa Yasuhara paused for a moment, then nodded.

She really wanted to be stubborn, but she held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

If you still insist on being stubborn at this point, it will seem a bit like you're just being defiant.

"That settles it then." Watanabe Yu clapped his hands, naturally changing the subject. "More than that, I'm more concerned about Ms. Komura's situation. Why didn't she come with you?"

In terms of preparations for the school festival, it's no exaggeration to say that Miyuki Komura and Risa were inseparable.

There's a strong sense that if you see Risa, you're sure to see Miyuki Komura not far away.

"Her? She's asleep."

Speaking of this, Risa Yasuhara felt a wave of helplessness.

How can a teacher say they're going to keep watch at night, only to fall asleep in bed while doing so?

Most importantly, Miyuki Komura was sleeping soundly. Seeing her like that, she hesitated several times but still didn't wake her up.

"...?"

Watanabe Yu was stunned.

This was indeed the first time he had ever seen a teacher like this.

"What's with that look? Can't people even like to sleep?" Risa Yasuhara scoffed and shook her head. "So, on another note, what is Kiriyama going to say?"

In her memory, the things Kiriyama and Ma would do to proactively communicate with students from other classes were usually related to Watanabe Yuuko.

From this perspective alone, if Kiriyama and Ma were girls, then Kiriyama and Watanabe would be a couple worth shipping, but unfortunately, they aren't.

"Go and make people give up fighting over emotions."

Watanabe Yu gave a concise answer.

"Be specific."

Risa Yasuhara frowned, looking thoughtfully at Kazuma Kiriyama, who was communicating with the student from Class B.

The kid's expression had lost its former frivolousness; now it was serious, and there was even a hint of... earnestness in his eyes?

"It's a bet: I'll confess my feelings to the girl I like."

Watanabe Yu lowered his voice and gave an explanation.

He hadn't thought much of it when he was talking to Kiriyama, but now that he was talking to Risa, he suddenly had a strange, indescribable feeling.

Is that really so childish?

"That's great, why give up?"

Risa Yasuhara asked a question in return, as if it were perfectly reasonable.

"?"

It can only be said that many things are indeed like this: what kind of teacher produces what kind of students.

From this perspective alone, Risa deserves at least half the credit for Kiriyama's willingness to watch the drama unfold.

"What's with that expression on your face? And what's with that look in your eyes?"

Risa Yasuhara rolled her eyes and clumsily imitated the tone of voice from the scene in her memory.

"Um, I don't need to save the world." Watanabe paused, then changed the subject, "Haven't you thought about what would happen if your confession was rejected?"

"What can I do?" Risa Yasuhara gave her a look that said, "You're making a fuss over nothing." "So what if I get blacklisted, get teased by classmates during group activities, and can't even have a proper conversation with them until graduation?"

She's seen this kind of thing far too often.

Moreover, as a teacher, from a personal standpoint, having grown accustomed to the sweetness of student couples, she also wanted to see someone shed tears because of a relationship that ended without a trace!

Why do you guys get to have sweet romances in high school?!
"..."

Watanabe Yu silently looked away.

Now he really didn't know how to respond.

It turns out that Risa knew all along, she even figured out all the key points and guessed which direction things would take.

"Of course, what I said above was all in anger." Risa Yasuhara changed the subject, revealing a very teacher-like smile. "As a teacher, I still really want to see my students study diligently and avoid impure relationships with the opposite sex!"

Saying you support them is a lie!
Her thinking has never changed from beginning to end!
These high school couples are outliers!!! They deserve to be judged!!!

"What if Kiriyama were to confess to Takakura-san again?"

Watanabe Yu asked a question.

"Then I support it."

Risa Yasuhara uttered those words without even thinking.

Yes, she is a hypocrite.

She doesn't care about what happens to other students, but she will definitely do her best to ensure that her students have a good outcome.
