Why is the Demon King like this?

"Hurry, hurry up, Kanna!"

"No way, Rena~ You're running so fast!"

The first-year students, who had been kept late by their homeroom teacher, ran at full speed toward the gymnasium. Two girls followed behind them, one with cute pigtails, her pleated skirt lifting up again and again to reveal her smooth knees.

Another girl named Kanna was petite, with a bun on her head that she had to hold down from time to time as she ran.

"No, we'll miss our senior's match if we don't hurry!"

"But...but..." Kanna gasped for breath, watching Rena Kobayashi's retreating figure, futilely pulling out her phone and muttering to herself, "But the match is already over!"

……

Keisuke Ao declined the invitation from Class 5 to go to the restaurant together, and was taken away by Tsukishima, while Yamazaki, who had fallen, obediently went to the school hospital for a check-up with Chizuru Shiraishi.

Everyone has a bright future.

Following the female teacher back to the office, Tsukishima, though a little annoyed, still took a towel from the drawer and wiped Ao Keisuke's sweat.

Most of the teachers had already left the office, leaving only a few homeroom teachers processing documents. Tsukishima moved a chair from the next workstation and said, "Sit down and take a break."

"Thank you, Tsukishima-sensei."

The towel had a faint smell of laundry detergent, so it seemed to be the towel that the female teacher usually used.

"Um."

Chizuru Tsukishima sat in her seat and began processing the mountain of documents.

After resting for a while, Aokiji asked, "Does the teacher also need to handle so many documents?"

"When the head of the Ministry of Education gives an order, everyone below has to run their legs off," Tsukishima said with a cold smile. "How about it, all rested?"

"Um."

Are you still working?

Keisuke Ao said, "I resigned from my position as store manager a couple of days ago."

"Oh? Why? I remember you went through a lot of trouble to get a part-time job."

"I just don't want to work anymore."

Chizuru Tsukishima put down her pen and turned to look at him—it was not uncommon for even young female teachers with ridiculously large breasts to be rejected by male students for in-depth conversations.

Students and teachers alike are still largely in a state of distrust.

"It's fine if you don't want to work," said Chizuru Tsukishima. "You should know our school's rules very well. Unless there are other circumstances, you must join a club."

How's the basketball club?

—Ideally, she should lead the Kūkai Private High School basketball team out of Tokyo and win the national championship, so that she, as their homeroom teacher, can earn an extra bonus!

Money! Money! Money!

Keisuke Ao had considered joining a club before, but he waited until his second year to look for a club and missed the recruitment period at the beginning of the semester, so it was not easy in all aspects.

Especially since he doesn't have many friends.

But if you keep looking, you'll eventually find something you're interested in. As for the basketball club—

"Absolutely no interest." Keisuke Ao refused outright: "Basketball is a boring sport for me."

"But you were clearly laughing the whole time, weren't you?" Tsukishima couldn't help but retort upon hearing this.

"It's not the fun of basketball itself, but rather that I'm just interested in Yamazaki."

Tsukishima: "...Hmm?"

Ok? ? ?

Did I misunderstand?

Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, Chizuru Tsukishima momentarily swallowed back any words of advice she might have had.

"Um... Qinggui, you're still young and your ideas are a bit radical, but remember not to easily confuse friendship with love."

Qing Keisuke:?

What are you thinking, teacher?

You should probably look after Nakagawa Yuto for this kind of problem!

After a friendly conversation between the teacher and student, Tsukishima finally reluctantly believed that Ao Keisuke was a healthy student with a normal sexual orientation—mainly considering the existence of Arisugawa Asuka.

"In short, whichever club you plan to join, you'd better hurry up."

"Does our school have a food club?" Aoki asked.

Chizuru Tsukishima glared at him, speechless. "You could consider the cooking club, but I heard they basically don't hire guys."

"A culinary club?" Keisuke Ao thought seriously—perhaps they would need a taster like him.

But the students' cooking skills... well, let's just say they're questionable.

"I'll think about it again."

"Make a decision as soon as possible. If there are any problems joining the club, I can speak with their advisor on their behalf."

"Thank you for your help."

Chizuru Tsukishima waved, indicating that he could leave.

"Leave the towel here."

After Aoki Keisuke left, Tsukishima Chizuru's cheeks flushed, and she quickly grabbed the towel and put it into her bag.

In summer, a towel that girls use to wipe away sweat, especially someone with a body type like Tsukishima...

Where else can I wipe?

"Tsukishima-sensei?"

A young male teacher poked his head out from behind the partition at his workstation: "Have you suffered from heatstroke?"

"Ah... Mr. Pu Song, thank you for your concern, I don't have heatstroke."

Tsukishima touched his face, then hesitated, wondering if he should go to Shiraishi to get some medicine.

But she quickly rolled her eyes again; he was just a kid.

At this moment, only the documents could make the young female teacher feel a chill.

The chill of not being able to leave work on time!

Seeing this, Kumamoto Saburo seemed thoughtful, but he didn't say anything and simply sat back down at his workstation.

As a male teacher directly assigned by the board of directors, many people knew that Pu Song's identity was not simple—for example, a certain director of the Ministry of Education had the surname Pu Song.

However, since the parties involved didn't make it clear, everyone in the office could only tacitly understand, and at most they would chat about it a bit when Pu Song wasn't around.

Young, rich, with a powerful background, good-looking, and what's more, there's no news of any negative news about him.

Given such high-quality resources, it's entirely understandable that they would dare to pursue Tsukishima Chizuru.

Unfortunately, the female teacher was quite clear-headed and didn't believe she could end up with the son of a high-ranking official.

"Ahhhhh!" a teacher cried out, "This review is way too strict! Or is it just Kūkai who's being treated like this? Kamamatsu-kun, you have to help me out!"

"If you need help with any documents, please let me handle them," Saburo Kamamatsu said with a smile. "I'm pretty quick at organizing things."

"Oh dear, Kūkai Private High School needs young talents like you, Kamamatsu-kun!"

"No, no!"

Chizuru Tsukishima rested her chin on her hand, listening to the tiresome chatter in the office, feeling increasingly helpless.

—Today is another day where my energy was completely drained by my breasts.

Kumamoto Saburo took the materials handed to him by the old teacher. His hands were fair and delicate, with long, slender fingers, clearly the hands of someone who had lived a life of luxury. He also wore an expensive watch on his wrist.

He glanced at Tsukishima Chizuru again, his affection for the slightly agitated female teacher almost overflowing.

……

"Senior! Senior! Where are you?!"

"I?"

Keisuke Ao glanced around and replied, "On the train home."

"What?!"

10 "Crying Hippo Heads"!

Keisuke Ao: "Is there something funny you're going to share?"

"Even if it's an upperclassman, I'd still get angry if he said that! I'm already angry, and even if I rushed back to school right now and performed another dunk in the gym, I would never forgive him!"

"Did I do something to offend Kobayashi-san?"

"Eh..."

Rena Kobayashi scratched her head, analyzed the situation, thought for a moment, and finally gave Keisuke Ao a thumbs up.

"Hehe~ I don't think so!"

"^^"

Chat ended.
