My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

Even if you need to catch a flight, isn't this a bit too early?

Because it was so early, the little ones were all sleepy-eyed, so much so that they could fall asleep standing up.

These little ones were so excited last night that they couldn't fall asleep even at 1 a.m.

Even Naoto and the others were feeling unwell at this time; didn't they notice that Yukino was already rubbing her temples?

"Ahem, this is for everyone's good. After all, everyone lives in different places, so coming early is good for everyone."

At this point, Hiratsuka Shizuka probably realized that she had called these guys a little too early, and she explained somewhat embarrassedly.

In fact, the most excited person in this group was probably Hiratsuka Shizuka herself.

For Shizuka Hiratsuka, taking a trip with a group of children for the first time was a novel experience.

In order to be a good teacher and to demonstrate her authority as a teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka has recently put in a lot of effort.

Heavens behold, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that her authority as a teacher was almost completely gone.

Despite being the teacher of the creative club, I haven't been to the club much in the past few months.

Everyone in the club acted as if she didn't exist.

Originally, Hiratsuka Shizuka had thought that if these people encountered any difficulties, she could reluctantly help them, but in the end, she found that they didn't ask her to do anything.

Even things like attending comic conventions had absolutely nothing to do with her, her mentor.

Deeply affected, Hiratsuka Shizuka decides to demonstrate her excellence as an adult during her trip to Okinawa.

Lately, Hiratsuka Shizuka has been cramming on all the travel information about Okinawa, memorizing everything from where to go, where to eat, and the cultural background. She even went to bed at 8 pm last night, eagerly anticipating taking the children to Okinawa today. However, she didn't sleep a wink all night.

Unexpectedly, they got so excited that they got out of bed before dawn.

If those unfortunate kids knew that their teacher caused this incident because she was too excited, her authority as a teacher would be completely gone!

"Teacher, judging from your complexion, you don't seem to have slept well either. It can't be that you were too excited last night and didn't sleep at all, right?"

Naoto looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with a suspicious expression.

Although there were no obvious marks on Hiratsuka Shizuka's face due to makeup, Hachiman still noticed the subtle differences.

"Hahaha, how could that be? Hachiman, don't just say things like that."

Having been exposed, Hiratsuka Shizuka punched Hachiman in the back, almost causing him to vomit blood.

The intense pain made Hachiman choose to shut up immediately.

He realized that if he didn't shut up, these people would be collecting his corpse soon.

Naoto, standing to the side, secretly chuckled as he watched Hachiman's pained expression.

Kid, you dare to talk nonsense like that? Don't you know how strong Jing's fighting skills are? Aren't you afraid of dying?

Anyway, everyone probably realized by now that their unreliable teacher had gotten the time wrong because he was too excited.

"Ahem, well then, since everyone's up so early, they probably haven't had breakfast yet, so I'll treat everyone to a meal at the airport. I heard there's a really good restaurant there."

"It's delicious! Let's go!"

"Oh, so there's good food at the airport. What are we waiting for? Let's go!"

When Hiratsuka Shizuka saw that the students' attention had finally left, she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, that restaurant is quite expensive.

I'm going to have to bleed a lot of money again.

Chapter 216: Arrival in Okinawa

"Hello passengers, NHK530, bound for Okinawa, is preparing for takeoff. Passengers who have not yet boarded, please board at the front desk as soon as possible."

As the time for takeoff arrived, the plane, which was on the tarmac, began to slowly move forward into the distance.

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Naoto couldn't help but recall the first time he took an airplane in his previous life.

Although his memories have become somewhat hazy, the excitement and joy he felt when he first took a plane still lingers in his heart.

So much time has passed, and I never imagined that I would be able to sit on a passenger plane again and fly towards the blue sky.

As the plane approached the runway, the sudden push and swaying caused Reika, who was next to Naoto, to instinctively place her hand on Naoto's body.

Although Reika tried to remain calm, Naoto could still see a hint of fear in her eyes.

Naoto looked at Reika and couldn't help but smile.

Who would have thought that his fearless little sister would feel terrified on her first airplane ride? Seeing her like this, as her older brother, I found it rather amusing.

"What are you laughing at! What's so funny!"

At that moment, Reika noticed that Naoto was looking at her with a kind expression, and suddenly felt a sense of shame.

"Haha, it's nothing, I just find you amusing right now. Are you scared?"

"No, no! I wasn't scared at all!"

Although Reika vehemently denied it, as the plane sped up and eventually took off, Reika gripped Naoto's hand tighter and tighter.

"Ha, you said you weren't scared, but you're holding on so tightly."

Seeing Lingxiang's blushing face, Naoto used his other hand to roughly rub Lingxiang's hair a few times.

"Don't touch my head!"

Lingxiang was very unhappy with her brother's casual head-touching behavior, wondering if touching someone's head would stunt their growth!

"Are you feeling better? You shouldn't be scared anymore, right? It's normal. It's your first time flying, you'll get used to it."

"What is this?" Reika said, looking at Naoto's smug expression. "You've only flown once more than me, what's with all this talk about getting used to it? Besides, your last flight..."

At this point, Lingxiang immediately shut up.

Thinking back to her last flight, Lingxiang immediately recalled the passing of her parents.

Seemingly sensing that something was wrong with Reika, Naoto appropriately changed the subject: "Girl, look, we're already flying higher than the clouds!"

"Wow, it really is! Is that a cloud down there?"

As Naoto's voice reached Reika's ears, Reika couldn't help but look out the window.

At this point, everything below the plane was completely white.

The buildings that were previously faintly visible are now completely obscured by the thick clouds.

The clouds that usually seemed impossibly high were now beneath them.

The blinding sunlight shone on the plane, making it look as if it were plated with a layer of golden armor.

At this moment, not only Lingxiang, but also the two little girls who were with their brothers were filled with curiosity about everything outside.

As the children watched everything outside with curiosity, Naoto noticed that Nanako, sitting on his other side, was also looking out the window with curiosity.

"Nanzi, why are you looking outside too? Haven't you seen this kind of thing countless times before?"

"What's wrong? Can't I be curious about these things?"

Nanko stared at Naoto with those murderous eyes, making Naoto shiver.

"No, I just think that Nanzi, you should watch these kinds of things often, right?"

"No, at least, I didn't look outside from inside the plane."

For Nanzi, she only needs a single thought to reach any place.

For Nanzi, airplanes are the most inefficient thing.

Nanzi had once flown with her own body and felt that even airplanes couldn't fly as fast as she could.

Nanzi has even done things like eating lunch while sitting on the wing of an airplane.

The only thing I've never done is go inside an airplane and leisurely look out the window like this.

"It's a magical feeling. I don't need to think about anything or do anything. I can just sit here quietly and reach my destination. Apart from being a little slow, it seems to have no drawbacks."

"So, if you're interested, how about we go somewhere a bit further away next time?"

"Forget it, I'd rather use this time to read more books."

Meanwhile, right in front of her, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was wearing an eye mask and preparing to sleep, felt like she was about to die.

I just wanted to take a nap, but why do I feel like I'm being surrounded by the saccharine smell of being in love?

Why are all her students couples, and she's the only one single?

"Nanzi, I didn't know they had jelly coffee on the plane? Would you like some?"

"I want two."

Is this Mai's first time visiting Okinawa?

"No, I did work there before."

"Yukino, what do you think of this place?"

"It looks interesting, I'll go check it out sometime."

"Jianji, are you alright? Are you okay?"

"It's nothing, just a little airsick."

Hiratsuka listened to the voices behind her, thinking hard. Aside from a few kids, it seemed only Moritaka and Eriri were single in the group. Wait, something's not right! Akito said Moritaka had already pledged his life to a beautiful girl, and they even planned to get married after graduation.

So, in reality, the only truly single people in the entire group are her and Eriri?

At that moment, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly pulled off her blindfold and stared at Eriri beside her with eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Um, Ms. Jing, is there... is there a problem?"

Eriri, who was about to eat some coffee jelly, was suddenly startled by Hiratsuka Shizuka's gaze. She dropped the coffee jelly onto the table.

"Eri, you won't betray me, right?"

"Hey?!"

"Right? You won't betray me, right? You won't betray me until you're thirty, right!"

"Yes! I would never betray you! I definitely won't!"
