From a rational perspective, it was not hard to guess the trigger for Hanako sending a ssage at this point in ti.
Most likely, it was my unusual gaze after reviewing the test papers in the afternoon, and the attitude of only calling Azusa up for guidance, that tipped her off.
I had probably already realized the fact that she was deliberately failing…
And so, unable to suppress the romantic feelings that had long been stirred by my charm, she abandoned the tactic of deliberately teasing to hold my attention, and instead chose to launch a direct offensive.
I could not help but sigh with emotion. In this duel of willpower and patience, it seed that I was ultimately the one who erged superior.
After all, my contacts list was filled with dozens of beautiful girls of all different styles. Across the entirety of Kivotos, there surely was not a second ultra handso, gentle young man like .
I did not deliberately leave Hanako on read, and replied at once.
: Sa here. Please take care of as well.
Hanako: Mm hmm~
Hanako: Also, there is sothing I would like to trouble you with, Sensei.
Hanako: There are a few questions I have not quite figured out, so I was hoping you could tutor a bit or sothing like that.
Hanako: Do you have ti, Sensei?
: Of course. Are you able to take photos right now?
The mont I sent the ssage, I suddenly frowned, realizing that my wording might be sowhat inappropriate.
Just as I was about to add an explanation, Hanako reacted before I could.
Hanako: Eh?
Hanako: Is this… you asking for paynt?
Hanako: Oh my~ I did not expect Sensei to be such a bold and straightforward type.
I really wanted to loudly reply that I wasn't that kind of person at all.
However, recalling the secret album on my phone, I could not help but feel guilty and hesitated for a few seconds.
It was after those brief seconds of silence.
Hanako: …Eh? So it really is?
: I'm not! Don't say nonsense!
Hanako: Hehe~ let us just treat it that way then~
Hanako: As for the questions... let us talk about them tomorrow when we et~♡
Hanako: Let us keep it a secret from the others, ♡ and sneakily et before tutoring begins~
…Why are there heart symbols!?
I imdiately beca alert, strongly suspecting that she was hinting at sothing, but unfortunately I had no evidence.
No matter how much our conversation stirred my emotions, Hanako did not send any further ssages after that, let alone the selfie I had been hoping for.
While this left feeling inexplicably empty, it also strengthened my earlier conclusion.
Urawa Hanako was absolutely a type I couldn't handle at my current level.
With even a slight misstep, I'd probably end up being toyed with in the palm of her hand.
She might not be a bad person, but she might be a bad woman.
That night, I fell asleep a little later than usual. Still, I woke up early the next day. After briefly dealing with so official matters, I headed out to fulfill my appointnt with Hanako.
No matter what, as the advisor of the Make-Up Work Club, I carried the expectations of Nagisa and Mika. Even knowing full well that Hanako was eyeing like prey and might be trying to pull a sneak attack under the pretense of tutoring, duty bound to feign ignorance, accept it with tears in my eyes, and silently prepare myself to sacrifice my reputation.
Arriving earlier than our agreed ti, I lowered my head and was just about to take out my phone to contact Hanako when a call reached , slightly raised in volu but still clearly carrying a smile.
"Sensei~ I am over here~"
I followed the voice and froze on the spot.
At this ti of year, the season was steadily moving toward sumr, and the temperature was gradually rising.
Even in Trinity, where the climate was relatively cool and pleasant, walking unshaded beneath the increasingly intense sun still brought a sense that sumr was approaching.
But even so, I could not understand what Hanako was doing at this mont.
There she was, the pink haired, green eyed girl who looked pure and gentle, sitting on the inner ledge of a white marble fountain, her back to the basin. She closed the book that had been open on her lap and looked at with a smiling gaze.
Most importantly, she had taken off her snow white long socks and small leather shoes, and imrsed her delicate, porcelain like feet into the pool, lightly stirring the clear water back and forth, sending ripples spreading outward.
My throat moved involuntarily, and I felt deep regret in my heart.
How could she be so lacking in public morality, wasting precious water resources like this?
At the very least, she should have told first so I could bring so containers to collect the water…
Joking aside, seeing her in such a state upon eting truly delivered quite a shock to .
As I walked closer, Hanako showed a captivating smile.
"Hello, Sensei. Thank you very much for coming."
I nodded slightly, forcing my gaze to stay on her stunning face as I asked in as calm a tone as possible,
"By the way, what exactly are you doing right now?"
"It's very cool here, and really comfortable~"
As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes and tilted her slender neck back, looking utterly content. "For , it's like a special seat, hehe~"
In other words, Hanako often ca here to emulate the sages of old and wash her feet in flowing water?
A bold idea crossed my mind.
"Since the opportunity is rare, Sensei, would you like to co over and join ?"
At that mont, Hanako extended an invitation, a strange light flickering in her erald eyes. "Shall we take them off here… together?"
So she really was harboring ill intentions toward .
Although this proposal seed to have a certain degree of experintal viability, how could I, a gentleman, possibly agree?
The who had just been seriously pondering the Trinity fountain water circulation system imdiately rejected her righteously. "No thank you!"
Hanako, however, did not mind at all. She smiled softly and looked at with a gaze that felt like she was murmuring to herself, her voice gentler than could be imagined.
"Exposing skin like this in broad daylight, do you not find it fun? It feels like… doing sothing you should not be doing."
There seed to be other hidden anings buried within her words, worthy of careful contemplation.
However, for the mont, I no longer had the leisure to think.
That was because the beautiful girl before slightly lifted her legs and drew her wet feet out of the water. Bathed in the bright sunlight, they were dazzling beyond asure, leaving completely unable to look away.
The sun also seed to suddenly grow fiercer, making my mouth dry and my throat parched, and I could not help wanting sothing to drink.
However, I had heard that drinking cold water was bad for the stomach. Was there any water around here that happened to be around thirty six or seven degrees, and could also help replenish a bit of salt?
Unfortunately, under my slightly disappointed gaze, Hanako quickly used a towel she had prepared in advance to dry off the water, then put on her shoes and socks, hopped down from the fountain, and walked toward .
I hurriedly returned to a proper, upright expression.
After all, I could be considered quite experienced in life. There was no way I would be shaken by soone like Hanako.
"Hehe~"
The sowhat strange girl leaned close in front of , smiling inscrutably.
"Sensei, do you not like taking things off?"
