Hikari smiled and said, "What's not possible?"
'Yes, what's not possible?', Hearing Hikari's words, Shiina Chizuru suddenly felt enlightened.
"Okay, then I… I'll listen to Hikari-kun!", Shiina Chizuru clenched her fists and nodded seriously.
"Then you go ahead, I'll head ho first," Hikari said, turning around to leave.
Seeing this, Shiina Chizuru hurriedly grabbed Hikari's hand in a panic, "Um, Hikari-kun, you… could you accompany there?"
"It's a bit late now, I'm a little… a little nervous going alone…"
Shiina Chizuru saw Hikari glance at his watch, hesitating to speak, clearly wanting to refuse.
She slightly lowered her head, shook Hikari's hand, bit her lip, and softly said, "Please…"
Seeing the usually haughty Shiina Chizuru now lowering her head and pleading pitifully.
Hikari, who is soft-hearted rather than hard-hearted, sighed.
"Alright, since it was my idea, I'll accompany you there," Seeing Shiina Chizuru humbly pleading, Hikari agreed to accompany her.
However, the right hand tightly held by Shiina Chizuru moved slightly, "Let go."
Hearing Hikari's words, Shiina Chizuru then realized that she had instinctively grabbed Hikari's hand, holding it tightly, and hadn't let go.
Feeling the warmth in her palm and looking into Hikari's eyes, Shiina Chizuru's face turned red, and she quickly let go of Hikari's hand.
Since Shiina Chizuru is the class representative, she knew Teacher Tsukino's ho address.
Then Hikari accompanied Shiina Chizuru to the second floor of a building, standing in front of the room closest to the stairs, watching Shiina Chizuru knock on the door.
Soon, with a creak, the door opened.
But the person who opened the door was not Teacher Tsukino as Shiina Chizuru had thought, but a woman.
This scene made Shiina Chizuru pause.
Then she quickly greeted, "Sorry… for the intrusion, you… hello!"
Seeing this unfamiliar woman, Shiina Chizuru initially thought she had co to the wrong door.
But the woman standing behind the door, seeing the school uniforms they were wearing, actively asked, "Um, are you students of Tsukino-kun? Are you here to see him?"
Hearing the woman's words, Shiina Chizuru realized that the address was indeed correct, this was Tsukino's ho.
She nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! We are students of Teacher Tsukino, we have sothing to discuss with him, may I ask who you are?"
Seeing Shiina Chizuru's polite question.
The woman smiled and showed the ring on her finger, laughing, "I am Tsukino-kun's wife."
"Since you are his students, co in and have so tea, I'll call him over, he seems to be busy looking for so materials in the room."
Saying this, the woman called into the house, "Honey! Honey!"
Seeing no response, the woman turned around politely and said, "He might not hear in the room, I'll go in and call him, you can co in and sit."
Hikari smiled and politely declined, "No need, teacher's wife, we'll wait here, we just have a few words to say to Teacher Tsukino."
And seeing the woman show the ring, hearing her refer to Tsukino as 'honey', Shiina Chizuru was stunned.
She stared blankly at the woman, her face expressionless, not speaking.
Seeing this, the woman didn't persuade further and quickly went in to call Tsukino.
After the woman left, Shiina Chizuru couldn't help but murmur in surprise, "I really didn't expect…"
"Tsuki… Teacher Tsukino is actually… actually married?"
Although Teacher Tsukino's looks are not as good as Hikari's, and are sowhat inferior, he is still considered young and handso.
Plus his status as a teacher, he is quite popular among many female students at school.
Shiina Chizuru actually also had so feelings for him.
So seeing Shiina Chizuru's sowhat dazed appearance now, Hikari could sowhat understand.
Just like a boy suddenly learning that the older sister next door he had a crush on had suddenly married soone, most boys might hide under their blankets at night, crying alone, possibly even crying while doing sothing. [T/N: 🤣]
And Shiina Chizuru, being a young, naive girl, suddenly learning that the young and handso Teacher Tsukino, her crush, had suddenly married, must be equally sad and heartbroken.
Looking at the dazed Shiina Chizuru now, Hikari casually advised, "How about we go back today, and you can ask about this tomorrow?"
Hearing Hikari's words, Shiina Chizuru, coming back to her senses, suddenly looked at him, her expression strange.
She asked in a puzzled tone, "Why go back? We've already co to Teacher Tsukino's doorstep, we must finish asking about this before leaving, how can we give up halfway."
Hikari looked strangely at Shiina Chizuru, 'This girl, doesn't seem to be holding back tears? This seemingly indifferent attitude, is it real or fake?'
Hikari casually asked, "Teacher Tsukino is already married, that wasn't his girlfriend just now, but his wife, are you sure you don't want to leave?"
From what Hikari knows, Shiina Chizuru should have quite a bit of affection for Tsukino, wouldn't seeing this make her feel terribly upset?
However, hearing Hikari's words, Shiina Chizuru just looked at him strangely, "Teacher Tsukino is married, what does that have to do with asking him about this? Hikari-kun, why are you so strange?"
Originally thinking Shiina Chizuru was very strange, Hikari was now confused by her question.
'What's going on.'
'According to the normal script, shouldn't Chizuru, upon hearing the news of Tsukino's marriage, run down the stairs crying, sprinting all the way ho under my laughter, then cry and reward herself at ho, while I can leisurely go ho?'
'Why isn't she showing any special reaction, how can she still speak so calmly.'
'It seems her emotions haven't been affected at all.'
'This girl… could she be a hidden gigolo enthusiast? Liking married n?', Hikari looked at Shiina Chizuru with a strange gaze.
Shiina Chizuru probably knew Hikari was sowhat misunderstanding, but looking at Hikari's strange gaze, she couldn't quite figure out what he ant, so she wanted to explain but didn't know how to start.
Just then, footsteps ca from inside the house.
The very familiar Teacher Tsukino to both of them, ca over, "Ah? Shiina and Hikari-kun? What brings you here?"
It must be said, there's a reason Teacher Tsukino is popular at school.
Of course he knows Shiina Chizuru, but even Hikari, who he's not usually close to, he can imdiately na.
And now, speaking without any teacher's airs, but very approachable.
Looking at Teacher Tsukino's gentle smile, Hikari also politely smiled back at him.
But looking at Teacher Tsukino, Shiina Chizuru showed no smile, instead her face stiffened, and she directly asked, "Teacher Tsukino, have you embezzled public funds?"
Hearing Shiina Chizuru's sudden question, Teacher Tsukino was stunned.
Hikari beside him was also sowhat speechless.
'Wow, I'm just... wow.'
'Class Rep Shiina, where's your brain?'
'Indeed, Chizuru must be very angry about Tsukino being married.'
'To directly ask such a thing right off the bat, making it seem like teacher Tsukino is so suspect.'
'Whether he is or not, this will make the other party very awkward and alert, it's really sowhat over the top.'
'And didn't I say before, believe that Teacher Tsukino isn't such a person,' Hikari glanced strangely at Shiina Chizuru.
Finding that Shiina Chizuru was also secretly staring at him.
Upon catching his gaze, she quickly looked away.
'This girl… is she trying to prove that she doesn't care about teacher Tsukino's marital status?'
'But overdoing it is not good.'
Shiina Chizuru's words now were actually quite rude.
Although it's unclear why Shiina Chizuru suddenly beca so strange standing next to Hikari today, Teacher Tsukino's personality was still quite gentle.
Although sowhat puzzled, he still answered, "Embezzling public funds… of course I haven't, Shiina-san, why do you suddenly ask this? Could it be…"
Hearing Tsukino's words, Shiina Chizuru's face stiffened again, seemingly about to say sothing strange.
Hikari directly interjected, "Teacher Tsukino, I want to ask you a question. Do you know which teacher is in charge of the funds we paid last month for the school trip?"
"Class Rep Shiina said she seems to have forgotten to hand in mine, and now wants to make up for it. Then I heard it might be you, Teacher Tsukino, who's managing the school trip's deposit account?"
Hikari felt that Shiina Chizuru standing next to him now seed a bit off, as if wanting to perform sothing in front of him, so to prevent this little brat from ssing up, he decided to speak up and tactfully inquire.
Hearing Hikari speak, Shiina Chizuru imdiately closed her mouth obediently, not speaking further.
And Teacher Tsukino, stroking his chin, pondered.
"So it's about the school trip funds, let think…"
"This… I roughly rember. The school trip funds are mainly managed by the grade director."
"But he recently went to another high school to study and exchange experiences, so it seems it's temporarily entrusted to Tamura to manage," After careful consideration, Teacher Tsukino gave a clear answer.
"Okay, understood, thank you, teacher," Hikari politely thanked.
Teacher Tsukino quickly waved his hand, "No problem, it's just a small matter."
"Hikari-kun, Shiina-san, you've been standing at the door for so long, why not co in for so tea."
Facing Teacher Tsukino's warm invitation, Hikari was sowhat conflicted, after all, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, having so tea isn't a big deal.
But Shiina Chizuru beside him suddenly grabbed one of Hikari's hands and pulled him downstairs.
"Sorry, Teacher Tsukino, Hikari-kun and I have sothing else to do, we won't stay for tea, sorry," Saying this, Shiina Chizuru directly pulled Hikari away from Teacher Tsukino's ho.
And Teacher Tsukino, seeing the scene of Shiina Chizuru actively and tightly holding Hikari's hand as they left, couldn't help but smile and shake his head, "So, Shiina-san also has soone she likes. That's good, Hikari-kun seems very reliable."
After explaining a few words to his wife who was secretly listening behind, Tsukino smiled and closed the door again.
Now pulled downstairs by Shiina Chizuru, standing below Teacher Tsukino's ho, Hikari crossed his arms and casually said to Shiina Chizuru, "So, have you figured out the situation now?"
Hearing this, Shiina Chizuru's eyes widened, her delicate little face full of anger.
She angrily said, "Of course I've figured out the situation, I'm not stupid!"
"Damn it! So I was deceived by that fat pig Tamura all along!"
"From start to finish, the one who embezzled the public funds wasn't Teacher Tsukino, and the funds weren't even managed by Teacher Tsukino, so how could there be any embezzlent."
"I understand now, the scene I saw in the office was Tamura trying to stuff the deposit book into Teacher Tsukino's desk drawer."
"It was that guy who embezzled our school trip funds, then tried to fra Teacher Tsukino, and even wanted to use this to threaten ."
"Ugh! That fat pig Tamura! How despicable, shaless, disgusting, and vicious!"
"Such a vile person should go to hell, be struck by lightning!"
Thinking of Tamura's actions, Shiina Chizuru was truly furious, even forgetting her usual persona.
Usually speaking properly, without a single curse word, now ntioning Tamura, she was swearing up a storm.
