Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"I believe what you say, Kuroba-kun, but the other students might not believe it..."

"Well... that's none of my business."

The others were unaware of the extraordinary level of importance the class monitor placed on his friends.

Conversely, if others found out, they would realize that Hitomi Anri didn't consider them 'real friends'.

That would likely leave Anri Hitomi isolated, and the class president's reputation in Class 1-1 would crumble.

Now, at most it would just be considered a melodramatic love triangle, still within the realm of private relationships.

Then let others misunderstand... but it might attract the attention of Sumitomo Ryota's friends and family, which would be very annoying.

Although he himself has let it go, judging from the unfriendly looks of his friends, it is clear that they do not understand why Sumitomo Ryota would be so friendly to his 'love rival'. To be honest, Kuroba Akira does not understand either.

Just don't do anything stupid like waiting for me after school...

After the morning classes began, Kuroba Akira originally intended to write his novel during class, but the side effects of staying up all night kept increasing. Feeling his temples throbbing unnaturally, Kuroba Akira started partying on the spot.

However, after lying down for a while, Kuroba Akira just couldn't fall asleep. The hard tabletop was no match for Ms. Tashiro's milk pillow.

Moreover, this body hasn't yet developed the talent to fall asleep in any position.

I might as well go to the infirmary and sleep through my morning classes, then start writing my novel in the afternoon... Okay! That's settled!

So, in the very first class, Kuroba Akira raised his hand high and stood up to report.

"Teacher, I'm not feeling well, may I go to the infirmary?"

"Oh... okay, go ahead."

Because of yesterday's commotion, all the teachers except for Mr. Kobayakawa developed a "it's better to leave him alone" attitude towards Akira Kuroba and gave him permission on the spot.

As expected, teachers in any world and country are too lazy to deal with troublesome students. Yesterday's incident did have some positive effects, after all.

Kuroba Akira walked happily toward the back door, but before he even left the classroom, he heard the class monitor's voice.

"Teacher, I'm the class monitor. I'll accompany Kuroba to the infirmary."

"Okay, you can go too. Just come back and ask me for the teaching notes later."

All the teachers trusted Anri Hitomi's character, especially since she was the top student in her grade.

The same goes for top students; they are welcomed by teachers no matter where they are. So the teachers just assumed that she was genuinely concerned about the students in the class and didn't forget to give her special treatment.

"Thank you."

Then, under the watchful eyes of the entire class, the class monitor naturally walked to Kuroba Akira's side, took his arm, and smiled.

"Let's go then, Kuroba-kun."

"Oh……"

Well... this has only deepened the misunderstanding.

Other students would definitely guess that the class monitor and they went to the infirmary to do something unspeakable... After all, that's where Makoto 'fought'.

But I really just wanted to go to sleep!

As for the class monitor... is she here to warm my bed or to sleep with me?

Chapter 85 Inadequate Health Care Teacher

After leaving the classroom, Kuroba Akira frankly confessed to the class monitor.

"Class monitor, I'm not actually feeling unwell, I just want to catch up on some sleep, so you don't need to come with me."

The class monitor poked Kuroba Akira's face and said angrily.

"Kuroba-kun, don't underestimate the dangers of sleep deprivation. Overworking your body can lead to sudden death, you know?"

"Uh……"

Akira Kuroba, who had actually experienced sudden death, was somewhat speechless.

He used to make the same mistake of relying on past experience. When he was in college, he would go to an internet cafe with his friends and play games all night for two days without any problems. So after he started working, he thought that staying up all night for several days in a row would be fine. Little did he know that as he got older, his body could not withstand the strain of the past.

In fact, aging may not necessarily be visible on the surface, but rather it takes effect subtly within the body.

"Okay... but class monitor, is it okay for you to skip class? There must be a lot of people eyeing your position as the top student in the grade."

"It's just a few classes, not attending won't affect me. I've already previewed the course content, so attending class is just a review."

Listen to this, this is what a top student is like, how infuriating!

In fact, many students' grades drop because they didn't understand a few lessons or were distracted, which caused them to fall behind in the teaching progress. As a result, they didn't understand the lessons in the following classes, and gradually lost interest in learning. The less they wanted to learn, the less they could learn, creating a vicious cycle.

The class monitor was one of the most talented people Kuroba Akira had ever met, someone who had brought his abilities to the limit.

Looking at her, Kuroba Akira felt that it was a real waste to have copied the class monitor's talents only to maintain concentration and mental agility.

As a result, Anri Hitomi did not let go of Kuroba Akira's arm until they reached the door of the infirmary, holding it like a close, affectionate wife.

I could feel the pressure of her breasts on the side... As expected, the class monitor is quite well-endowed.

The door to the infirmary was open. When I went in, I saw the school doctor who was also the health and physical education teacher... I forgot what her name was.

However, because this teacher liked to tell dirty jokes during health and physical education classes, Kuroba Akira also had some impression of her.

In addition, this female teacher was quite thin and short, probably only 1.4 meters tall. Wearing a white coat made her look like she was wearing a raincoat, so everyone called her Teacher Luo, the Luo of Loli.

As for why I don't just call her "Loli Teacher," it's because if I call her "Loli," she'll get very angry and yell, "Don't call me Loli! I'm a mature lady now!"

So later it was shortened to Teacher Luo, and she reluctantly accepted the nickname given to her by her students.

When Ms. Luo saw Anri Hitomi, she jumped off her office chair with great enthusiasm and raised her hand to greet her.

"Oh my, isn't this our top student, Anri-chan? What brings you to the infirmary during class? Are you on your period? I have not only sanitary napkins, but also spare panties. Do you want me to lend them to you? Well, if you wear them, it might feel like wearing low-rise panties, hehe."

Having sanitary napkins is one thing, but why are there spare panties too?! And judging from the way you're saying it, isn't it your own?! Don't give your own panties to students to wear! — Kuroba Akira mentally ranted.

Even though there were boys present, she still talked about menstruation so bluntly and even made a dirty joke. It's no wonder she's Teacher Luo; the word "lower limit" doesn't exist in her dictionary.

But the class monitor remained calm and smiling in front of her, as if he had long been used to the outspoken Ms. Luo.

"It's not that I'm unwell, Mr. Ohno. I'm here with Kuroba to the infirmary. He's not feeling well."

So it turns out that Ms. Luo's surname is Ohno... She doesn't have any "big" elements at all, while Ms. Kobayakawa is not "small" at all.

After listening to the class monitor's words, Teacher Luo looked at Kuroba Akira, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then pointed at him and called out as if she had remembered something interesting.

"Ah! I know you! You're the problem student that Motoko always mentioned, right? Motoko even came to me before asking how to treat aphasia! Unfortunately, I haven't studied psychotherapy, I only recommended a few books to her... So you can speak now?"

Ms. Luo... Ms. Ohno and Ms. Kobayakawa have been close friends since their student days, and this bond continued after they started working. I think it was Ms. Ohno who recommended her to work at this school.

Akira Kuroba never expected that Kobayakawa-sensei would ask him about treatment for aphasia... What a thoughtful teacher!

"Yes, I've returned to normal."

"I also heard you beat up a classmate yesterday? Was it because of a woman? Oh well, it's a pity I'm usually in the infirmary, so I haven't seen anything this interesting..."

Teacher Luo kept talking nonstop, then looked around at Anri Hitomi and Kuroba Akira, and her eyes lit up.

"Ah! I know! You didn't get into a fight with other guys just because of Anri-chan, did you? So, judging from the result, you won, right? Anri-chan is now yours alone? Wow, you've really become a winner in life all of a sudden!"

"What kind of teacher talks to their students like that?!" Kuroba Akira rolled his eyes violently.

As expected, even the class monitor couldn't stand it anymore, and his smile changed from gentle to threatening.

"Ohno-sensei, I can get angry too."

Teacher Luo immediately chickened out and quickly grabbed the class monitor's hand, saying nice things to him.

"Sorry, sorry, don't be angry~ I was just joking. I know Anri-chan is a good student and wouldn't do anything like other students~"

"Please fulfill your duties as the school doctor and give Kuroba a proper medical check-up."

"Okay!"

Teacher Luo walked up to Kuroba Akira, put her hands on her hips, looked up at Kuroba Akira who was three heads taller than her, and said.

"Come on, let me see where you're hurt. Did your rival kick your scrotum? If so, Anri-chan's happiness for the rest of her life is in trouble."

"...It's just a lack of sleep."

"Hey, you'd better sit down! Are you looking down on me?!"

While complaining, Teacher Luo gave Kuroba Akira's bottom a hard slap with her little hand.

"..."

Kuroba Akira suddenly felt that apart from being a bit hot-blooded and a bit insensitive, Kobayakawa-sensei didn't seem to be doing anything bad to him... In fact, compared to Ro-sensei, Kobayakawa-sensei was much better.

"Come sit here!"

Following Ms. Luo's instructions, Kuroba Akira sat down in the office chair she had just been sitting in. Then she came over and directly lifted Kuroba Akira's eyelids to carefully observe his eyeballs.

"Hmm...it's just lack of sleep, no symptoms of kidney deficiency. I didn't expect you to be so gentlemanly. It's amazing you could tolerate dating Anri-chan. If it were me, I would have..."

"Junko Ohno-sensei, please be serious."

The angry class monitor called the teacher by her full name. Once again feeling the terrifying intimidation, Teacher Luo shrank her shoulders, chuckled awkwardly twice, and then patted Kuroba Akira on the back.

"Alright! Go lie down! Kid! You'll be fine after a nap! I'll write you a certificate!"

Having finally obtained permission to use a bed in the infirmary, Kuroba Akira prepared to go in and catch up on his sleep.

Kuroba Akira entered the partitioned area, took off her indoor shoes, and was about to thank the class monitor and ask her to go back when she heard Ms. Luo and the class monitor talking outside.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer, teachers. You can use this room as you like."

"Where are you going, Mr. Ohno?"

"Perfect timing, I can go outside and fish for a while, hehe... Ah, Anri-chan, don't go and tattle on me, okay? Otherwise, I'll turn a blind eye, hmm?"

"I don't understand what you're saying, teacher. You might have some strange misunderstandings about us."

"Oh, don't pretend with me, teacher. I know everything. That kid is just sleep-deprived. You even followed me here, just to borrow a bed, right? The infirmary is a hotspot for cases!"

"Kuroba and I are really not in that kind of relationship, and the school also prohibits purely opposite-sex relationships."

"Okay, okay, I know you're shy... Just don't make too much noise. There are 'balloons' in the drawer. Although it might be more fun without them, I suggest you be careful. After all, it would violate school rules. Even if your family has connections and can avoid expulsion, you'll still have to take a leave of absence."

"Ohno-sensei..."

"I'll be back after two classes, teacher. I'll help you put up the name tag in the meantime, so don't worry about anyone bothering you. Hehe, have fun! Don't worry about getting the sheets dirty, I'll clean them up. That's all, bye-bye~ Anri-chan~"

A loud bang... the sound of the door closing came from behind.
