I have bound two systems.

Isshi Iroha followed Hiratsuka Shizuka to the door of an abandoned classroom. It seemed that this was the purpose of their trip.

She looked up at the sign.

"Service Department..."

She had been enrolled in school for a while, and when she was considering which club to join, she had heard of the name of this club from her friends, but this was her first time to come in person.

"Ah, the door is not locked. That guy is already here."

"Um, Mr. Hiratsuka, should we knock on the door first?"

"it's okay no problem."

Isshi Iroha's persuasion didn't work. Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the classroom door and walked in calmly as if she was back home.

"Oh, it's been a long time since I last came here to ask for a commission."

The one who spoke to the familiar and natural Hiratsuka Shizuka was the girl who was sitting in the middle of the classroom. She frowned slightly at first, then sighed helplessly after seeing who was coming.

"Please knock before you come in next time, Mr. Hiratsuka."

"Haha, I'll pay attention next time."

Seeing the indifferent look on Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka's face, Yukinoshita Yukino knew that she obviously didn't listen to her words this time.

But she didn't know how many times this had happened and she was used to it.

She turned her head and turned her gaze to the third person in the classroom.

"Ah, um... hello, I'm a first-year student, I'm Isshiki Iroha, thank you for your guidance."

This senior who had always been ranked first in academic ability and was able to create a strange atmosphere around her just by sitting there made Isshi Iroha feel a little nervous.

"Hello, I'm Yukinoshita Yukino."

Yukinoshita Yukino just looked at her briefly and soon turned her gaze back to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"She is the one who is commissioned this time."

Hiratsuka Shizuka understood and patted Isshiki Iroha's shoulder affectionately with her right hand, once again showing her uncle-like manner.

"Regarding this child, I hope you can think of a way, whether it's tutoring or sharing your learning experience, so that her performance in the next monthly exam can meet the standard. Even if she can't reach the top few in the grade, she must at least maintain the level of the entrance exam."

"Eh?"

The first person to react was Isshi Iroha. Having walked all the way from the teaching building, she had never heard from Hiratsuka Shizuka that she would be entrusted to an unfamiliar senior schoolmate.

Even though I'm very good at getting along well with others, I still feel embarrassed about this!

"teacher……"

Isshiki Iroha protested quietly.

"There's no need for that. My poor performance on the last test was just a mistake. I will work hard next time."

Yukinoshita Yukino also spoke in accordance with her meaning.

"If the client clearly refuses, then it seems unnecessary for me to accept this commission."

"What are you talking about? She's just shy."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Isshiki Iroha again and smiled as she spoke.

"It's okay. Although Yukinoshita looks cold, you will find that she is an excellent senior after getting to know her. I guarantee in my name as a teacher that she is absolutely reliable. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino's lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she turned her gaze back to the book in her hands and sighed weakly.

“But I still have club activities.”

Isshiki Caiyu tried to make a final struggle pitifully.

"If I remember correctly, you joined the football club... Don't worry, I will go and say hello to the director. You can put your work in the club on hold for the time being. Your most important task now is to actively prepare for the next monthly exam. If your grades meet the requirements, I will not restrict you from doing anything you want to do."

In school, the identities and positions of teachers and students are absolute. The former, as educators and adults, their words and instructions are mostly not to be violated.

Hiratsuka Shizuka is different from other teachers. Isshi Iroha feels that if she really refuses with determination, she may be able to make the other party give up this arrangement.

But she recalled the Saturday when she was in the most pain and on the verge of a mental breakdown, when Mr. Hiratsuka came to visit her at home and spoke encouraging words to her. He was gentle, handsome, and extremely caring about her, with a maternal glow all around him.

Facing a teacher like this, there is really no way to say no to her well-intentioned arrangement.

"……I see."

Isshi Caiyu thought it through. It just so happened that she had taken a lot of days off in the past few days, so she really needed to make good use of the time to catch up on the studies she had missed.

Although Senior Yukinoshita seems a little difficult to approach, if I remember correctly, Senior Yuigahama is also in the Service Club, and I can ask her to teach me when the time comes. There is nothing wrong with treating this place as a cram school after school.

Besides, the football club practices until very late every day, so if you finish studying early, it’s okay to stop by and take a look.

With her eyes fixed on the target, Isshiki Caiyu nodded meekly towards Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Then it's settled. If you don't have anything important to do during lunch break or after school, just bring your textbooks here."

Hiratsuka Shizuka looks very happy.

"Go back and have lunch. I'll leave later."

"Yes."

Before leaving, Isshiki Caiyu bowed slightly to the two of them, and after leaving, she closed the classroom door very gently.

Pulling over a chair, Hiratsuka sat down quietly.

"A very gentle and lovely child, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't respond to this. She understood that the teacher must have something he wanted to tell her in private, so she closed the book in her hand and looked into the other person's eyes as if listening.

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled, but the smile soon disappeared from her face, and she became a little worried.

"She had taken many days off in a row before. It seemed that something had happened to her. She was extremely distraught. On Saturday, she threw herself into my arms and cried like a child. But she was unwilling to explain in detail to her parents or me why she lost her temper."

"From the look of her just now, she isn't as bad as you said, teacher."

"That's the weird part. I don't know if she's really recovered or if she's just pretending to be happy for some other reason. Anyway, after seeing her like that before, I couldn't feel at ease until I knew the exact reason."

Yukinoshita thought for a moment,

"The teacher asked me to do something on Monday..."

"Yes, that's it."

"So teaching her is just a superficial excuse. The real commission is for me to find out what happened to Isshiki, or to be more direct, let her say it herself."

"That was my original plan, but after seeing her regain her former spirit today, to be honest, my first feeling was relief."

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned slightly.

"So the real content of this commission is, before the end of the next monthly exam, please find a way to find out if Isshiki has encountered anything before, but the premise is that she should not be aware of your intentions. If you still cannot come to a conclusion before the deadline, and Isshiki continues to behave normally like today, then this commission will automatically be invalidated."

"I understand, but I still need to know some details."

"Well, go ahead and ask."

"First of all, regarding Isshiki-san's situation, when did it happen..."

Yukinoshita Yukino calmly accepted the commission.

Compared to reviewing a novel written by a student who is extremely immature, such a commission is obviously much more meaningful.

Chapter 203 Transformation

"I always feel like something is not right."

During the break, after seeing Touma and Sa get up and leave the classroom, Fukube Rishi was finally able to express his doubts.

Suzumiya Chisato pretended to be confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Of course it's Touma-san. Not only after class, but you all seemed to be having a lot of fun chatting during class."

"How can I be happy? It's not the same as usual."

"If you want to argue, why not put away that smile on your face first? It will be more convincing."

Chisato Suzumiya wanted to refute something, but when she thought about her interactions with Touma Kazusa that morning, she felt that there was no need to quibble since anyone with a discerning eye could notice it.

Besides, Fukube is not an outsider.

"It seems that I guessed right. I'm really curious about how you did it. That's Touma-san."

"Class monitor, you seem to be prejudiced against her."

"No, I am prejudiced against you. I have known that you are very powerful, but I did not expect you to be so powerful."

"It's unclear."

"Congratulations anyway."

"I'll give you some chocolate, but don't tell anyone about this."

"Hey, do you think I'm a big mouth?"

Suzumiya Chisato answered silently in her heart, "Yes, you did. You were the one who told me everything about Touma's past and her ankle injury."

Although somewhat dissatisfied, Fukube Rishi still took the chocolate from Suzumiya Chisato.

"But I noticed before that you always seem to have candy with you, but I hardly ever see you eat it."

Then the next second his doubt was answered. Touma Kazusa, who returned to her seat from the back door of the classroom, glanced at Fukube Rizhi, stared at the opened package in his hand with resentment, and then lay on the table without saying a word.

Fukube Rishi's forehead was sweating.

"...Where did you buy this chocolate? I'll buy it back for you later."

“…No, no, no.”

Suzumiya Chisato tilted her head to glance at Touma Kazusa, feeling both sweet and melancholy.

The sweetness comes from the close relationship between the two of them now, and the sadness comes from the guilt caused by concealing the truth.

Since last weekend, the two of them officially crossed that line. Although they didn't say it explicitly, they hugged each other and felt the warmth of each other's mouth in the most intimate posture. There is no doubt that they can be called in a relationship.

This is where the problem arises. The anticipated relationship progressed much earlier than expected, so that all the original plans were disrupted.

The change in Touma and Sa is also huge, and they are completely different from before.

I no longer leave early or come to class late. Although I yawn a lot in class and occasionally get distracted by passing notes to him, I have managed to stick with it. It is a big improvement that I did not fall asleep directly like usual.

Just as she said that day, she wanted to make changes and improve herself to keep up with her lover.

Chisato Suzumiya had never doubted her beliefs, but she had never expected that she would make such a big change in just one night.

However, is such a change really a good thing?

Touma Kazusa secretly opened her eyes, her face turned red, and when she realized that Suzumiya Chisato was also staring at her, she immediately turned her head to the other side.

Due to the girl's shy nature, she didn't want the other person to see her hot cheeks and the overly happy smile that she made, like what her mother said last night, like an idiot.

Fukube Rizhi saw the brief silent interaction between the two of them. It was so sad that he held his cheek and gasped softly.

Based on the situation he has observed so far, he would not be surprised if the two got married right after graduation.

During lunch break, as the weather had been getting hotter in recent days, Suzumiya Chisato asked Touma and Sa to go to the first music classroom and wait while she went to the canteen to buy lunch.

But the girl who had just confirmed the relationship was not willing to do so and insisted on following him. The consequences were quite obvious.

Touma Kazusa is just a loner and not good at communicating with others, but her slender figure and beautiful appearance, as well as her mother who is very famous in the music world, still make her a hot topic on campus.

Therefore, when she showed a gentle smile that was completely different from her usual self and followed a boy step by step with the attitude of an absolutely obedient little girl, the topic about her was once again ignited without exception.

It was the first time that Touma Kazusa enjoyed those subtle glances. She looked at her lover beside her and felt that he was more and more handsome. The corners of her lips curled up and a smile spread over her instantly, emitting a light that could not be ignored.

In the afternoon, I don’t know where the news came from, but even the class teacher knew about it.

After class, she coughed lightly, called out Chisato Suzumiya's name, and asked him to come to the office by name.

When he came back, Touma Kazusa asked him with a little concern why the teacher called him.

"Nothing, just let's not cause any trouble when we are dating."

"trouble?"

"Don't accidentally cause a death or something."
