With how sweaty our hands were becoming, I waited for a while before letting go of Hayashi-sensei’s hand. Then, as politely as possible, I wiped her palms dry before bowing to her with my upper body inclining forward.
She watched every move I made quite carefully. Most likely, she found silly for doing so but that’s all. Her mouth remained closed.
I retreated shortly after that. But instead of returning to my seat, I only took a step back and stood in front of her.
Given her lack of reaction, I won't be surprised if she dismisses and tells to go.
However, even after a minute passed, there was no change in Hayashi-sensei’s countenance. She simply stared at , her eyes shining in contemplation.
Whether she's doing that on purpose or not, I had no idea. But one thing was for certain, she heard my counter-proposal and she was processing it inside her head.
Was this becoming awkward? Maybe. I pushed us in this direction, after all. Because of that, I also couldn’t complain here and endure the growing awkwardness alongside her.
I thought of preparing tea for her but I quickly shelved the idea after considering how long it would take.
I have to go soon. Every minute counts for . That way, I will still have an allowance to visit my girls in their clubs before I go to et up with the others.
And so, with nothing else to do except maintain eye contact with her, I used the mont to thoroughly observe her.
Well, I didn't focus on her appearance. It's undeniable that she's still as gorgeous as before. Students are still losing their minds about the mysterious school nurse, after all.
I focused on her minute reactions. The way her eyebrows moved or the gradual contortion of her beautiful face. There were also the subtle movents of her upper body.
Ah. Let's not forget how her legs were crossed and it's giving a glimpse of her stocking-covered thighs.
I won't compare it to any of my girls since I know how biased I can be. Let's just say it can provide a lot of comfort to anyone.
Wait. Scratch that. I said not her appearance but here I was, getting distracted by what she's unintentionally showing .
I shook my head inwardly, rebooting my system. Then, I put my attention back to Hayashi-sensei.
Earlier, she looked tired from the issues brought up by the Principal and I further added to it by telling her about Marika.
At the mont, there’s no trace of it anymore. Nonetheless, she’s still definitely bogged down with how our conversation went.
It’s supposed to only be reporting to her about how my day went but we branched off upon my ntion of Marika.
She needed peace of mind the most right now. But with here, I doubt she'd get it.
In any case, waiting it out seed to work.
Eventually, Hayashi-sensei's indescribable expression gradually lted away. She inclined her head to the side as she stared at , partly in disbelief and partly in amusent.
After shaking her head as if casting off unnecessary thoughts, a short burst of laughter escaped her mouth.
“Alright, brat. I’ll allow you to help but on one condition."
A condition, huh? Will it even matter? It’s not like my offer to help will bring her to my table. It’s just going to be my way to ensure that I’ll continue being in her good graces.
Ah. Whatever. If that condition was enough to satisfy her, then so be it.
With that thought in mind, I acted like I was considering my choices.
Since she was watching closely, that act tickled her amusent. She even looked a little smug from managing to draw a different reaction from other than my usual poker face.
I let her savor it for a while before raising a finger, “One condition, right? Do pray tell, sensei.”
"As expected, you won’t disappoint .” Along with a mysterious smile that blood as her expression beca shrouded in delight, Hayashi-sensei stood up from her seat and approached .
Then, she leaned closer and sultrily whispered her one condition in my ear…

Upon leaving the Director’s Office, I looked behind for a few seconds before shaking my head helplessly.
I thought it would be so mind-numbing condition or sothing that would put in a difficult situation. But no… it was so simple I could easily accomplish it without breaking a sweat.
So much for that out-of-the-norm gesture, right?
But I guess that’s what she truly ant to do; shake off by acting outside of my expectations.
Even as I started walking away, her triumphant laughter continued to leak out from the room. Perhaps she’d even pull a wine from sowhere and drink it to relish upon her supposed ‘victory’ against .
Admittedly, I did lose that one. But hey, it also moved towards my goal.
With countless days ahead of us, there will always be a chance to bestow her couppance… We’ll see who gets the last laugh between us.
As I left the Administration Building, I stuck to my plan and went to check on each club connected to .
And since I promised, my feet also brought to the Theater House to see the innocent forehead girl and my adorable golden ringlet girl.
Visiting Misaki was proven easy as her clubmates sohow recognized as the girl’s special person because of the previous instances. They would vacate the room, giving us all the space in it.
Well, as long as Misaki is happy, I guess? I spent a few minutes with her, telling her a short but a bit detailed summary of the events yesterday. And because she got barred from jumping in my embrace earlier, I took the initiative to spoil the girl even before she could launch herself at .
I carried her to the long couch we previously used and spent the ti there with the girl comfortably snuggled to my chest.
Although I already knew the answer, I tried inviting her to co with us to watch the basketball match.
If it’s only up to her, she won’t think twice about coming. However, with how strict her parents are, it’s nigh impossible to sneak her out, especially without a proper reason.
Actually, Misaki almost cried from it. She really wanted to co, after all. Due to that, I comforted her and dropped that subject there. In place of it, I brought up the topic of our upcoming date – also known as the day I will take her out to buy a phone for her.
Unfortunately, we still couldn’t fix a date for it but the girl’s mood imdiately flipped just from imagining it.
From there, we spent a few minutes together before I escorted her to where her clubmates were practicing.
Before leaving, I thanked them for giving us that chance to be alone together.
Since I was curious, I asked for the reason why they willingly gave us the room.
The Club President only gave a simple answer… “MInamoto-san is always performing excellently whenever you co around, Onoda. She’s drawing inspiration and motivation from you. Please take care of our Princess Star.”
… Yeah. Let’s not comnt about it. That result wasn’t within my expectations. My only intention is to visit her, after all.
On that note, I’m glad Misaki joined a great club with similarly great clubmates. I felt at ease knowing that she was in their good hands.
After saying goodbye to Misaki one last ti for today, I retraced my steps and returned to the area of their clubrooms.
However, if the Drama Club had this very considerate and welcoming attitude towards , the Theater Club was the opposite.
As soon as I showed up before their door, Tanaka-senpai alongside the other club mbers as well as Marika’s other followers piled out from inside.
Not only that.
Coming from outside the Theater House, Ichihara Jun’s dogs sward in, joining Tanaka and the others. They used their bodies to block my way from entering the clubroom to see Marika.
Really… They’re making things hard for themselves.
