Mafuyu Kirisu was in her office when she suddenly received an urgent notification from the head teacher.
When the head teacher handed her a student file, she realized yet another transfer student was being assigned to her class.
Mafuyu rubbed her temples in frustration. She felt that ever since Yuki, that transfer student, arrived, the entire class had felt off. Now another one? This was only going to increase her workload!
After all, the more students in a class, the busier she would be, as she had to attend to each one, naturally increasing her responsibilities.
"Head Teacher, as you know, my class already has one transfer student. Adding another exceeds the maximum class size limit!"
Mafuyu frowned as she raised the issue with the head teacher before her.
The head teacher spread his hands helplessly. "There's nothing I can do. I already discussed it with the principal. But he insisted this student must be placed in your Class A. It's mandatory. So, I'm in a difficult position too. I can only ask you to bear with it, Kirisu-sensei."
Pausing, the head teacher seemed to remember something. "Of course, the school won't let you work for nothing. The principal said starting this month, your salary and bonuses will be significantly increased as compensation for the extra hardship."
The school wasn't completely letting Mafuyu suffer a loss; they knew her class size was larger and her tasks heavier, so they compensated her with higher pay.
Hearing this, Mafuyu's expression eased somewhat. Though she wasn't greedy for money, receiving appropriate compensation for increased workload was only fair.
"Alright." Mafuyu nodded, took the student file, and returned to her desk.
She opened the file to review the new transfer student's information, hoping internally that this student wouldn't be difficult to manage.
After browsing through all the information, Mafuyu couldn't help but feel sympathy for this girl named Kanade Tachibana. She had been suspended from school for so long due to illness. Mafuyu thought about how this poor girl must long to study and make friends at school.
With this in mind, Mafuyu became a bit more serious, carefully checking Kanade's file once more. After another review, she began planning response strategies and a study plan tailored to Kanade's special circumstances.
In her view, having been hospitalized for a long term, Kanade's academics must have fallen behind significantly.
Given the current learning pace, Mafuyu believed Kanade would likely struggle to catch up. Therefore, creating a tailored study plan for her was particularly important.
Once Mafuyu conceived this plan, she threw herself wholeheartedly into it. She worked on Kanade's study plan until lunchtime, merely eating a quick lunch before returning to her office to continue, not allowing herself a moment's relaxation, determined not to waste any time.
Meanwhile, Yuki, after having lunch with Marin Kitagawa and Origami Tobiichi, made an excuse to slip away alone for a stroll around the school.
As he passed by a rarely visited path, his gaze fell upon a large, round butt sticking out from a flower bed towards the path. The owner of that rear was clearly lying prone in the bushes, seemingly searching for something.
Yuki glanced subtly, thinking to himself: Even with bear-print panties? Unexpectedly kind of cute!
He looked around, confirming no one else was present, then stood nearby.
"Ahem!"
He coughed once to alert the person.
Following his cough came the rustling sound of the bushes shaking violently. The figure in the bushes clearly trembled, realizing someone had arrived. Though the shaking continued, the person didn't seem to intend to leave the bushes. Moreover, with the body's violent shaking, the buttocks right in front of Yuki created a scene one might only dare watch in the dead of night, all alone.
Yuki instantly felt awkward and didn't know where to look.
Rustle, rustle, rustle—!!!
As the friction sound in the bushes gradually subsided, a weak female voice slowly drifted out.
"Um... could you help me? I... I'm stuck here."
The tone was full of awkwardness and helplessness. Clearly, it was a plea for help from the girl in the bushes.
Faced with such a situation, Yuki, who always enjoyed helping others, naturally wouldn't sit by and watch.
"Okay," Yuki agreed, hoping to reassure her.
He walked into the bushes, thought for a moment, and directly grabbed the girl's slender waist. Instantly, he felt as if he'd grabbed a tree branch that could break with a single snap—extremely slender and delicate. Accompanying this was the clear sensation of the girl's body trembling lightly.
"I'll just pull you out," Yuki said before proceeding to pull the girl stuck in the bushes outward.
"Wait..." Upon hearing this, the girl suddenly thought of something and hurriedly opened her mouth to stop him.
But it was too late. Yuki acted quickly, pulling the girl entirely out of the bushes.
Rip—!!!
Though the person was pulled out, it was accompanied by the sound of fabric tearing. The girl's skirt was instantly torn with a large gash. If she hadn't clutched her skirt at the critical moment, she would have flashed everything completely.
"Uh... this... Sorry, I didn't notice," Yuki said, wearing an awkward expression as he scratched his head in embarrassment.
The girl before him instantly flushed crimson with shame.
"I... you..." She didn't know what to say. A blush spread across her exquisite, cute face, leaving her feeling both shy and angry.
She was at a loss about what to do. Her skirt was torn, and she couldn't return home to change into a new one. She couldn't possibly go back to class like this—it'd be practically the same as wearing nothing!
Her gaze then turned to Yuki beside her. The moment she looked at him, her expression froze. The handsome face before her made her momentarily forget everything else. Her mind was completely captivated by his appearance.
So handsome! How can there be such a handsome man?!
Her heart screamed, pounding thump-thump. Facing Yuki, she threw everything else to the back of her mind. Her eyes held only him now. Even the hand holding her skirt loosened at that moment.
As the skirt slipped down, a blinding scene instantly presented itself before Yuki.
Yuki slightly raised his eyebrows and spoke calmly, "Bear-print panties, huh? It's actually quite cute."
Hearing his words, the girl instantly snapped out of it. The blood red color on her cheeks skyrocketed rapidly. Instinctively, she raised her hand to slap Yuki, shouting, "Pervert!!!"
Unfortunately, though her movement was swift, in Yuki's eyes, it was slow. He easily caught her wrist.
"Classmate, let's be reasonable. This wasn't intentional on my part. You didn't hold it properly yourself; you can't blame me," Yuki stated beforehand, indicating the responsibility wasn't his.
The girl's expression froze for a moment, she withdrew her hand, and then, annoyed and ashamed, hurried to pick up her skirt and cover herself again.
