After the alley interlude, life returned to the campus routine. However, whether it was an illusion or the Student Council's "Strike Hard" campaign was truly effective, Kanzaki Saku suddenly felt that the campus had been exceedingly peaceful these past two days.
The groups of delinquent girls in the hallways had significantly decreased; they had all gone into hiding because of the Student Council's crackdown.
However, being too peaceful actually made Kanzaki Saku feel a bit unaccustomed to it.
He had originally wanted to contact Kushida Kikyou, who had invited him over previously, to ask about the situation, but his messages sank like a stone in the ocean, and his calls went unanswered.
It was as if she had fallen into the Backrooms after escaping from Yukino that day—she had evaporated from the world.
The other spy, Kotegawa Yui, replied very quickly. Her tone was respectful, constantly saying "Master, please command me if you have any requests," but whenever Kanzaki Saku wanted to arrange a meeting, her signal would suddenly become poor.
Her mouth promised the heavens, but her actual actions were zero.
It seemed the lesson last time was too light; she had forgotten the pain once the wound healed and had started being disobedient again.
But Kanzaki Saku couldn't just go directly to the Kato Legion's stronghold to find her. Now, lacking an insider to divert the trouble so he could profit from the chaos, the plan was temporarily stranded.
Over at the Student Council, every afternoon, Kanzaki Saku would be called to the President's Office by Shinomiya Kaguya under the pretext that the "Vice President needs to familiarize himself with the business" to drink afternoon tea.
The tea was genuinely good tea, and the snacks were top-tier snacks, but the President's business guidance was a bit dawdling.
"Vice President Kanzaki, please review and sign this document." Kaguya pushed a report in front of him, leaning her body slightly forward. Her long raven-black hair slid over her shoulder, brushing against the back of Kanzaki Saku's hand, seemingly accidental yet intentional.
When Kanzaki Saku took the pen to sign, Kaguya's hand covered the back of his hand, claiming it was to guide his signing posture.
Right now it was guiding the signing posture; Kanzaki Saku didn't dare to think about what posture Kaguya would want to guide later!
"The data here needs to be verified clearly." She pointed to a spot on the form again, her entire body almost leaning onto Kanzaki Saku, a faint scent of perfume lingering at the tip of his nose.
Kanzaki Saku verified it seriously, while Kaguya took advantage of him with supreme nonchalance, thinking she was doing it very well and hadn't been detected by Kanzaki Saku.
She was enjoying this game, enjoying this gradual approach and the teasing that was there yet not there, enjoying Kanzaki Saku's reactions to these teases.
Kanzaki Saku also enjoyed it; after all, being taken advantage of by a beautiful girl wasn't a loss. But he certainly wouldn't let Kaguya occupy the dominant position forever; he was ready to switch roles between offense and defense at any time.
As for Kita Ikuyo's side...
Kita Kita: "Kanzaki-san! I'm so sorry! I joined the Kessoku Band you recommended. To buy a guitar, my savings are all used up..."
Kita Kita: "But please rest assured! I'm already working part-time at STARRY Livehouse! The store manager is very nice, and the hourly wage is good too!"
Kita Kita: "Once I save enough money, I will definitely contact you immediately! Please, you must wait for me!"
Between the lines, there was a sense of youthful pain, like "I am working hard for our future."
Kanzaki Saku replied with a "Good luck" and incidentally asked about the band's situation.
Kita Kita: "Gotoh-san is amazing! Yamada-san has such an aura! Nijika-san is a bit fierce but a very good person!"
Kita Kita: "It's just that as soon as I stand in front of the microphone, my legs go soft..."
It seemed that the gloomy Kita's band training had a long and obstructed road ahead.
Just as the chat history suggested, ever since she declared last time that she would provide for Kanzaki Saku, Kita hadn't come to spend money again. Instead, she was actively participating in band activities.
It felt like she was really evolving from "Sister Kita is trash" to "Sister Kita is badass."
Consequently, over these two days, Kanzaki Saku's daily routine became quite regular.
Classes in the morning, casually teasing Bocchi-chan in the seat behind him, then either being called by Kaguya for tea or strengthening his body with Yukino.
Occasionally, it would switch to Miura Yumiko, usually when Yukino wasn't around.
Just like that, two peaceful (?) days passed.
Until this afternoon, Hiratsuka Shizuka sought him out.
"Kanzaki-san, please come to my office for a moment." Cute Shizuka stood at the classroom door, still with that soft and sticky appearance.
Kanzaki Saku's eyes lit up.
Right! There was still this fish, Cute Shizuka, who had slipped through the net!
Kanzaki Saku had almost forgotten her. When he first arrived at the school, looking at this soft-type female teacher who was a huge contrast to her original setting, he had indeed harbored thoughts of "doing it later".
It was just that later, things happened one after another—Yukino, Takanashi, Kita, Yumiko...
Too many people; for a time, she had been squeezed out of the priority list.
Now, coincidentally feeling that the campus life of the past two days was a bit plain, Cute Shizuka had delivered herself to his door.
"Okay, Ms. Hiratsuka." Kanzaki Saku stood up, revealing a well-behaved smile, and followed Hiratsuka Shizuka out of the classroom.
On the way to the office, Hiratsuka Shizuka walked side by side with him, speaking softly: "Kanzaki-san, Teacher has noticed that your instances of taking leave and leaving early have been a bit frequent recently."
She paused, seeming to weigh her words: "Although, Teacher knows you have a very good relationship with Yukinoshita-san, Teacher does not wish to see you influenced by bad trends. A student should still prioritize their studies..."
"Especially a boy like you."
She seemed afraid of being too harsh on the student, yet feared that not speaking would delay the student.
Kanzaki Saku followed behind her, his gaze sweeping over her tensed shoulders and somewhat shrinking posture, finding it amusing in his heart.
The [Reversal] version of Cute Shizuka was completely the stereotypical weak pushover; she felt like the kind of victim in a doujinshi who would be threatened with a handle to make the female lead submit.
Kanzaki Saku was both the female lead and the blonde NTR perpetrator.
"What Teacher says is true," he responded earnestly. "I will pay attention."
Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, turning back to reveal a gentle smile at him: "Teacher knows Kanzaki-san is essentially a good boy. It's just, perhaps you've been influenced by the environment?"
She spoke a bit euphemistically, but it wasn't hard to understand; she was worried Kanzaki Saku was being led astray by the delinquent girls.
While talking, the two had already arrived at Hiratsuka Shizuka's office. Shuchiin was wealthy, and teacher benefits were excellent. Added to Hiratsuka Shizuka's own background, she possessed an independent office.
Hiratsuka Shizuka's office was spacious and bright, with independent bookshelves, a small sofa, and even a small refrigerator. On the windowsill stood several pots of green plants, growing lushly.
"Please sit." Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed to the chair opposite the desk, while she sat down behind the desk.
She placed her hands on her knees, sitting upright, trying hard to put on a teacher's dignity, but paired with that gentle face and soft voice, the effect was truly limited.
Kanzaki Saku sat down naturally, already beginning to scheme in his heart.
Just happened to be bored, and you crashed into me yourself; you can't blame me.
