“Onoda-kun, co here. I’ll run you down on what you have to do.”
PE Class started and the sa as the previous instances, Eguchi-sensei only tasked us to do so set exercises as she prepared for a lecture in Health Education.
As her Student Assistant, I got the privilege to skip on that but in exchange, I had to stand by to help her.
And that’s what’s currently happening. While our class and Class 3 were stretching out a distance away from us, Eguchi-sensei started briefing for her lecture.
A while after she finished, we sat next to each other and I had the book she used as a reference in my hand. On the other hand, Eguchi-sensei was holding the illustration she was going to use and asked for my opinion.
“Don’t we need a better diagram, sensei? Like a real anatomical model for everyone to easily understand.”
Well, anatomy was part of the science subject while Health Education encompassed everything surrounding ‘health’. Mostly knowledge about diseases and prevention as well as how to keep our physical fitness. And that’s why it’s also attached to the Physical Education teachers’ job scope.
“No, this is enough. The explanation will just be the sa and besides, you’re all going to tackle the sa topic again in your science class. What I will be lecturing you on are the basics.”
“I see. Then I have nothing more to add, sensei. Just tell what I have to do next.”
Eguchi-sensei nodded, taking my opinion as is.
Well, although subtle, there’s the hint that the woman just wanted to bring up a topic of conversation between us. To talk to longer than spend it in awkward silence. She’s creating a way for us to interact more.
And that’s even further evidenced by her cheerful smile whenever I would agree with her.
With our backs turned to the other students, she’s showing that smile to alone. For sure, once she started her lecture, Eguchi-sensei would be the sa discipline-freak who’d not tolerate anyone disrupting her class.
“Let’s see. It’ll be great if I can have you stand there and do the lecture in place of .”
“Uh. I don’t think I can without prior experience.”
Although that’s a lie, it’s a better answer than entertaining that suggestion. Besides, she just thought that up on the spot. She’s not serious about letting lecture in her place. It’s more of sothing that just popped into her head.
“I suppose you’re correct. It’s my job to lecture, not yours.” Still enthusiastic about giving more roles as her Student Assistant, Eguchi-sensei brainstord a plausible task for .
But in the end, she settled on sothing really simple, “What about watching , Onoda-kun? Learn from what I do?”
“Yes, it’s better. But at the sa ti, it’s no different than what my classmates will do, sensei. Listening to your lecture.”
Her grin straightened and her enthusiasm deflated. She looked like she was about to be depressed but her recovery was swift. “Right… But your purpose will be different. I will also ask you to accompany back to my office afterward.”
She might be a little fragile when it cos to interacting with male students or when rain clouds filled the sky but the usual Eguchi-sensei was an eager teacher who wanted the best for her students even if she could be seen as scary.
“I understand, sensei. Are we going to review sothing?”
“That and… I want to show you my appreciation. You won’t take my offer to eat ran again so…” Eguchi-sensei’s voice turned rather soft by the end of it. And as she trailed her words, she sneaked a glance at before turning her head away swiftly.
“Sensei, I feel like I’m about to get spoiled.” I jokingly said while scratching my head.
However, instead of correcting , Eguchi-sensei almost jumped as she affird it. “That’s right! I’m going to spoil you. Is that better?”
I even saw her shoulders shake a bit when she turned to the side along with a subdued chuckle, trying her best not to act so obviously at how jubilant she was for later.
“Mhm. It is. I’m lucky to be your favorite student.”
“You earned my appreciation. You don’t need to be so humble.” Eguchi-sensei tapped my back, channeling her encouragent with it.
Following that, Eguchi-sensei and I walked back to the students and she started her lecture.
Unfortunately, I remained standing on the side without any chance to return to my girls.
Well, I could see them looking in my direction anyway. Moreover, there were also Itou and Misaki from the neighboring class; the forr was only sneaking her glances at while the forr focused more on than listening to Eguchi-sensei.
Really, between those two, it would seem that I was closer to Misaki than Itou. I guess I gotta soften up Hiko’s little sister more.
Uh. If she heard referring to her like that again, it would make her frown again.
Anyway, after checking on all of them, I also started focusing on the lecture. At tis, Eguchi-sensei would turn to , asking to explain so terms to the other students. Since I’ve read those in the book she handed to earlier, I easily did that task and that made the lecture smoother.
But at the sa ti, I probably gained other admirers, or just envious gazes, whichever of the two.
I couldn’t care less about them or their reasons though. I simply finished my task as the Student Assistant and nothing else.
Close to half an hour later, Eguchi-sensei’s lecture finished. Though 15 minutes remained to her allotted ti, she dismissed everyone early which made most of the students rejoice.
And like she ntioned, I soon accompanied her as we went back to her office.
I carried the book and the illustration she used.
On the way there, I couldn’t help but notice Eguchi-sensei’s cheerful mood as she humd a familiar song.
Well, it was Yue’s song from her first album. One of the two songs which had an upbeat tone and lyrics that clearly expressed one’s happiness.
I didn’t comnt on that and simply followed Eguchi-sensei.

When we arrived in front of her office, Eguchi-sensei turned around to face . Still feeling rather enthused at what she declared earlier, she looked like she couldn’t wait anymore. Her hands were itching to pat my head and dote on or perhaps hug .
But then, as she opened the door and took a step inside, she suddenly froze as all her excitent withered down.
As for the reason… it’s because of the person waiting inside.
There she was, the PE teacher for the 2nd year, Orimura Sanae-sensei. She’s sitting on Eguchi-sensei’s long sofa with crossed legs and an extrely relaxed posture; she’s resting her back comfortably while her arms were stretched out from both sides. In one of her hands, was a can of beer.
She’s in her tracksuit. However, the zipper that split the middle of her top was pulled down, revealing her surprisingly buffed body as well as her tightly pronounced future. I got to hug her back at that shower room incident but since she was wearing sothing back then, I never knew she had this kind of body,
In any case, that’s right. Compared to the previous instances that I saw her here, the woman looked like soone who was so feel-at-ho that she didn’t care about etiquette at all.
But as soon as she noticed appearing from Eguchi-sensei’s side, the woman snappishly pointed at without even covering herself up and shouted, “You! Why are you here again?!”
I was about to answer her but Eguchi-sensei beat to it. “S-sanae. Would you care to zip up your jacket first? You’re in front of a student!”
For the first ti in a while, I once again heard Eguchi-sensei shouting in annoyance. But I guess, she’s probably trying not to let my eyes be tainted by Orimura-sensei’s well-toned body.
Too bad, though, I already got that snapped in my long-term mory. Not that I would have any use for it.
“Oh, you’re right. Onoda, turn around!”
This woman, instead of turning around herself, she’s using her position as a teacher to command .
Well, I better act like a good boy for now and do what she says. Maybe it’s also better that she’s here.
Who knows what would happen if I lost control when Eguchi-sensei started acting adorable in front of …?
