By Friday, the hallways were filled with students in gym uniforms, shuffling back and forth for the annual health checkup.
The checkup schedule was flexible—each class president handed out a form, and students were free to go to their designated stations on their own. Once their forms were complete, they were done.
Because time wasn't tight, many students took the opportunity to do things unrelated to the health check.
As Watanabe Tetsu and his two friends walked down the hallway, they passed groups of girls sitting on the floor chatting in circles and boys who were playfully kicking each other's backsides. There were also couples quietly sharing health tips while secretly enjoying their youth.
"Hey, Masakazu-kun, let me see your eyesight and height~"
"No way! Only if you show me yours too, Ami-chan!"
"You actually want to swap health forms with a girl, huh? H—H! But… sure, why not~"
"Ami-chan, today's Tanabata, we—"
"Damn it." Kunii Osamu muttered under his breath. "Sooner or later, I'm burning you all alive!"
"I also want to swap health forms with a girl," Saito Keisuke said, looking envious.
"Ha! You just want to know her measurements, don't you?" Kunii Osamu scoffed.
"That's your problem!"
"No, yours!"
"Stop arguing. I have a way." Watanabe Tetsu adjusted his glasses with a smirk.
"So it's you… ha, no wonder, Tetsu!"
"Tell me, tell me!"
With a grin, Watanabe Tetsu subtly caused a girl walking toward them to bump into her friend.
At the prestigious Kamikawa Private Academy, the annual health check was taken seriously, especially the medical examination. It was almost equivalent to a full hospital checkup.
Once Watanabe Tetsu learned from Koizumi Aona that the internal medicine check was conducted by a medical team sent from the affiliated Juntendo University Hospital, he realized the school's system was incredibly thorough.
He sincerely hoped no one provoked Yuuki Miki. Otherwise, during the health check, someone could suddenly be declared to have a heart condition, and before realizing it, get sent to the hospital—and die from a sudden heart attack someday.
Thankfully, Yuuki Miki was relatively restrained at school. With teachers and students aware of her authority, no one dared provoke her. In other words, everyone was safe—except, of course, her boyfriend, Watanabe Tetsu.
Back to the matter of knowing the girls' measurements.
Because professional doctors used specialized equipment, the school doctor, Miyazaki Miyuki, was assigned the simple task of testing eyesight—something anyone could handle.
The vision test was held in a classroom on the third floor. Students covered one eye and pointed in the direction of the letters.
After finishing his vision test, Watanabe Tetsu approached Miyazaki.
"Teacher Miyazaki."
"You have excellent vision, young man." Miyazaki Miyuki returned his form.
"Thank you, teacher. Oh, by the way…" Watanabe Tetsu said suddenly, "I've finished my checkup. Let me help fill in the forms. You just focus on the test."
Miyazaki Miyuki considered it. That would indeed speed things up.
"Very well, thank you, young man."
"Not at all."
"Good boy. I'll say a good word for you in front of Aona."
"I appreciate it!"
Watanabe Tetsu stood at the classroom door and called out to the scattered students, "Please line up and give me your health forms. We'll proceed in order."
Seeing him casually collecting the girls' forms, Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke secretly gave him thumbs-up.
He held "top-secret information" in his hands but didn't immediately look at it. He didn't even know what the numbers meant exactly.
But soon, he would.
Watanabe Tetsu carefully filled out the forms, only glancing at the vision numbers, maintaining the appearance of a gentleman.
Everyone knew, however, that Watanabe Tetsu's memory was phenomenal. Now, with his "encyclopedic recall," he could memorize π to ten decimal places in a glance. Seven-digit measurements were nothing.
After helping Saito Keisuke cheat (secretly pointing directions) to get two 2.0 vision scores and testing two male students, it was finally time for the girls' forms.
The first girl was Hado Maiko.
While she tested her vision, Watanabe Tetsu studied her carefully, then recorded her measurements:
Bust: 81 cm | Waist: 55 cm | Hips: 83 cm
'81 is ample, 55 is a tiny waist, 83 is perky hips. Pretty good figure.'
Next: Takahashi Rie
Bust: 73 cm | Waist: 65 cm | Hips: 84 cm
'Small chest, wider waist. I could recommend the best five-minute daily waist-slimming routine to get abs in a month.'
Next: Tamamo Konomi
Bust: 85 cm | Waist: 55 cm | Hips: 84 cm
'Wow.' Watanabe Tetsu reminded himself to be tasteful and objective. 'Curvy yet slim waist. Truly as her name suggests—beautiful.'
Tamamo Konomi gave him a quick glance when he took her form—not noticing anything unusual; it was just her habit.
After finishing, Watanabe Tetsu stepped out of the classroom, and Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke immediately grabbed his shoulders.
"So? Any crucial intel?"
"Who do you want to know about?" Watanabe Tetsu asked calmly.
"I want to know Teacher Miyazaki's!"
"Idiot," Saito Keisuke scolded Kunii Osamu. "Teachers don't get tested. There's no form."
"True…"
"Not necessarily," Watanabe Tetsu said with a smile.
"You can do that?!"
"After analyzing tons of data, I can now estimate everyone's measurements."
"No way! That's amazing, Master Watanabe!" Kunii Osamu's eyes lit up.
"Then tell us already!" Saito Keisuke urged.
Watanabe Tetsu closed his eyes, constructing a mental 3D model of Miyazaki Miyuki's body, measuring every dimension in his mind.
"Based on close observation, her height is about 163 cm. Leg length 67 cm, about 41% of her total height—perfect proportion."
"We want the measurements!"
"Superficial. Legs don't lie. Fine, using the form width of 29.7 cm, I can calculate frontal waist at 17 cm, bust width 33 cm, side waist 13 cm, hips 22 cm, side bust—"
Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke had no idea what he was saying.
"By building a top-down cross-section model and using arc radius calculations, we can get all the data we want."
"There's only one truth!" Watanabe Tetsu opened his eyes, a cold glint at the corner.
"Miyazaki Miyuki's measurements are 91—59—8—"
His voice stopped abruptly.
"Young man, what are you doing?" Miyazaki Miyuki appeared behind him.
"Discussing a math problem."
"A math problem? I heard you talking about measurements."
"Not at all."
"Did you or didn't you?" Miyazaki Miyuki's tone was firm and intimidating.
"Yes, measurements… but it's a math problem about measurements."
"Your future is worrying. Why use your brilliant mind for such lewd matters? I'll tell Aona. And you two."
"It's not our fault! It's Watanabe's idea entirely!"
"Exactly! We stopped him! It was all his plan!"
Out of six sentences, only one was true. Can you even be honest once?
Watanabe Tetsu gritted his teeth. If only the world had more people like Kiyono Rin!
"I see," Miyazaki Miyuki nodded. "You two, don't discuss these things again if you don't want me to tell Aona. Next week is the three-way meeting. Got it?"
"Yes!" Both paled at the thought of their parents finding out.
"Telling the parents is Aona's call."
"Good, that's a relief." Watanabe Tetsu exhaled.
Although Koizumi Aona would lecture him, she probably wouldn't tell their parents.
"And," Miyazaki Miyuki added with a sly smile, "I'll tell your girlfriend."
"Teacher Miyazaki!" Watanabe Tetsu bowed sharply, "I beg you, just this once!"
"No. This is to make you a faithful Tokyo gentleman, young man."
As she left, she muttered softly, "You shouldn't have talked about my measurements."
Watanabe Tetsu felt like the world had lost all color.
"Tetsu? Tetsu! Are you okay?"
"Take him to the infirmary!"
"I'm fine." Watanabe Tetsu pushed them aside and pulled out his phone.
"Miki."
"What's up?"
"I was wrong."
".We'll talk tonight." Miki's tone revealed nothing.
She hung up without asking questions, leaving Watanabe Tetsu feeling like his life might be over.
'I hate bust measurements! Damn chest!'
After the health check, there was a class meeting before dismissal.
Koizumi Aona entered holding lesson plans.
"Tetsu, go stand at the back."
".Yes." Watanabe Tetsu reluctantly walked to the rear.
Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke looked at him sympathetically.
Curious classmates watched—Aona liked Watanabe Tetsu, so what happened?
Aona didn't explain, starting the meeting: "Next week is the three-way meeting. Remember to inform your parents…"
Two minutes in, she noticed Watanabe Tetsu looking dejected and softened.
"Sit down."
"Thank you, teacher."
"Enjoy the weekend safely. Exams are coming soon, so don't slack off."
After school, Koizumi Aona called Watanabe Tetsu to the office.
Miyazaki Miyuki was sitting in Aona's chair, snacking with Akiko.
Seeing Watanabe Tetsu enter, both women smiled.
"Tetsu, I heard you peeked at all the girls' measurements and created a database to estimate bust sizes," Akiko teased, holding a chip.
"Akiko!" Aona scolded.
"Not true, just some girls, and estimating… I was joking," Watanabe Tetsu said awkwardly.
Miyazaki Miyuki laughed. "Young man, don't be modest. You got my numbers exactly right."
"Pure guesswork."
"Try this," Akiko said, clapping her hands. "One minute to calculate Aona's measurements."
Watanabe Tetsu instinctively glanced at Aona's chest.
No need for a minute.
Bust: 84 | Waist—
Aona smacked the lesson plan on his head. "Looking where? Still want to be sent to the back?"
"This is instinctive! Teacher, believe me, only with you…"
"Instinct!" Aona smacked him again, unimpressed.
Miyazaki and Akiko laughed, crushing chips in the process.
Seeing Watanabe Tetsu still glum, Aona reassured him: "Don't worry, Tetsu. I won't tell your parents."
"Thank you, teacher."
"You okay? Feeling down?"
"Nothing," he forced a smile.
"Worried I'll tell your girlfriend?"
He remained silent.
"Relax, just teasing." Miyazaki munched chips.
"Really teasing me?!"
"Of course, I don't know your girlfriend." Miyazaki licked her fingers expertly.
The office succulents glistened after watering, the air conditioning scattered papers, cicadas sang outside.
Suddenly, Watanabe Tetsu's world felt alive again.
"Thanks, teacher! I'll never do something like that again!"
Miyazaki took a chip from Akiko: "Now I understand why Aona likes you. Truly a smart boy."
"Just using my free time to analyze and think," he said.
"Analyzing math problems about measurements?" Akiko laughed.
"Not just measurements. Any math problem. My goal is to rank first in science for the finals."
"Smart people are scary," Akiko shrugged.
"Agreed," Miyazaki nodded.
Aona looked at them, displeased, then said to Watanabe Tetsu: "Loving math is fine, but exams won't have you calculate girls' busts. No more 'math problems' like that."
"Teacher, I really don't care about busts—it's all math research."
"Oh? Which type of math?"
"If I must choose, legs."
"Aona's legs are amazing!" Akiko reached to touch them, but Aona swatted her hand away.
"You three! Stop that! Watanabe, go to club activities!"
"Yes!" Watanabe Tetsu left briskly, then turned the corner and met Yuuki Miki.
She wore her school uniform: short-sleeve white shirt, butterfly tie, pleated skirt, and black tights.
Her figure was perfectly proportioned—slim but not skeletal, with long, fair legs and a tiny waist that could be held in one hand. She stood with arms crossed, smiling at him.
"Miki? You came to school today?"
"Came to pick you up." She noticed his crooked tie.
Boys wore white short-sleeve shirts, white-gray-black ties, and navy pants.
She untied his tie, hung it around her slender neck, straightened his collar, and retied it gently.
The hallway was crowded; it looked like a scene straight out of an anime.
Boys envied him, girls envied Miki while admiring him under the warm sunlight.
"Miki, I can do this myself," he said, ignoring everyone else, looking into her eyes.
"You're my boyfriend. Helping you with your tie is my right and duty."
"Miki, I love you."
"Good boy. I love you too."
".Can the tie be a little looser?" His tongue almost twisted.
"Depends on your answer. Tell me, what did you do wrong today?"
Miki, ten centimeters shorter, leaned into him to maintain the tie, chest to chest.
"Ah—"
"Like a shoujo manga!"
"I want to be in Tetsu-kun's arms too!"
His brain struggled for oxygen, but he forced out:
'Measurements. Tamamo Konomi. Miyazaki Miyuki.'
Got it!
He placed his hand on Miki's waist and in a steady voice said apologetically: "It's Tanabata today. I forgot your gift."
"Mm—" Miki's voice rippled, teasing. "Is that why?"
"Not preparing a gift for my girlfriend on Tanabata… I'm awful."
She adjusted his tie one last time, then released her hands.
"How should I punish you?"
"Anything's fine."
He smiled awkwardly, pulled his hand back, creating distance.
Miki's entourage appeared.
"Miki-sama, you're back! Wonderful!"
"Long time no see, Momoyo, Yuyu, Saeko." Miki nodded to the three.
"You've worked hard, Miki-sama."
"You and Watanabe-kun are perfect together! Invite me to your wedding!"
"Me too!"
Before he could comment, Miki smiled at him: "Tetsu, what do you say?"
"Of course, we'll invite you!"
"Thank you!"
"Don't mention it," he smiled.
Seeing their infatuated faces, Miki grabbed his waist and twisted forcefully.
"I told you I don't like you smiling."
"Long time no see, happy to see you." He winced.
"Smooth talker," she snorted, twisting harder.
"Ugh—"
