Chapter 709: Creepy  

“How is it?”

Unlike before, Shishio wore a priest outfit while standing before everyone.

No one said anything, and they stared at him, yet if one looked closely, one could see how hard their breathing was.

Kiriya was also the same, and he kept staring at him, which made him want to poke his eyes somehow.

“It’s good.”

“Yeah.”

“But it isn’t so surprising, right?”

“Well, that’s true.”

If they were asked who was the most handsome guy in the world, they would say it was him without hesitation, so they didn’t feel surprised when he was so handsome in this clothing.

“Shishio, watch here! Put a stern expression!”

“Over here! Over here!”

“Look at the camera!”

Shishio realized that everything had become a camera session, which made him speechless, but he didn’t say anything and let them take a picture of him, yet why had Kiriya also joined?

Shouldn’t you look at the girls?

However, that might also be the reason why he didn’t think too much when Kiriya was around.

After all, in his impression, Kiriya swung that way.

Still, when he looked at Kiriya, he could see somehow that Kiriya’s complexion was a bit cloudy. It might be because Kiriya was around with everyone that no one noticed, and he seemed happy for some certain reason, which he didn’t want to know.

“Kiriya-sensei.”

“What’s wrong, Oga-kun?”

“Are you alright?”

“……..” Kiriya was silent, stunned, but he asked, “Why did you ask that?” He wondered whether what had happened in the teaching room was known.

Was it because of the other teachers?

Or was it because the talk had spread?

The only thing he regretted, he wondered why it happened when everyone was about to welcome the cultural festival. When everyone was having fun and was about to meet the most enjoyable moment of their youth, why did he meet this situation?

“No, I just felt that your complexion is a bit bad, so I thought you didn’t feel comfortable. So are you alright? If you are uncomfortable, do you want me to send you to the infirmary?”

“Eh? Really?”

“I can’t see the difference!”

“How did you notice it?”

The girls were dumbfounded, wondering how Shishio could see all of that. They felt that Kiriya was healthy, and they couldn’t see anything.

Still, Kiriya stared at Shishio for a while and said, “I might fall for you if you keep saying something like that, you know?”

“……..” Everyone.

Shishio felt a shudder and had goosebumps on his hands. “…Sensei, there are some jokes that you should say and shouldn’t, you know?”“How cute.”

“Shut up!”

Kiriya wanted to tease him a little longer, but when he saw Shishio was really going to explode like a volcano, he stopped. He knew that even if he swung that way, this guy didn’t do anything, but if he did too much, he wasn’t sure what this guy was going to do.

However, Kiriya thought for a while and somehow felt that a guy was better than a woman somehow since they weren’t so troublesome, and it felt better being cared for.

Shishio didn’t care what Kiriya was thinking, and he had already retreated behind Shiina, Rui, Mai, and Saki, creating a barrier, and a wall, so his teacher wouldn’t get close to him. He might have dressed as a priest, but he was still a human. Naturally, he wasn’t as tolerant as the real priest.

As for the girls, unexpectedly, they were quite normal, especially Saki, who had Hina in her class, and she also met a real transgender cafe in the past, which was an unforgettable memory of her.

Kiriya’s joke was nothing to them since it wasn’t uncommon to see a guy who also fell for him.

As for Shishio, he didn’t really want to accept it, but the reality was like that, which made him helpless. Still, while everyone continued to do their job, such as putting up the decoration, he received a call from Hiratsuka.

“Sorry.”

He moved away and walked near the window, watching the scenery below that showed the scenery of the football field. He could see many students walking back and forth, holding many things in their hands with a smile or exasperated emotions because of the cultural festival that was about to hold.

He realized that the mood and the atmosphere of the cultural festival in this school had invaded everyone’s mind.

In other words, if someone tried to fight this, they would become the enemy of everyone.

For some people, it was the greatest enemy, but for him, it was the greatest ally. It depended on how one viewed this matter, but when an atmosphere had gathered, someone needed to do something about it. At least one had to direct it, or else something might happen.

“Hello?”

“Hey, can you come to Hina’s apartment later?”

“You’re going to be there?”

“Um.”

“With Ayaka too?”

“…you… do you want to have a foursome?”

“Can I?”

“Ayaka needs to manage her dorm, right?”

“Oh, I forgot.” He slapped his forehead and thought a good thing couldn’t happen all the time.

“But there will be the three of us.”

“Well… that isn’t bad at all.”

“Cough! Cough! Hiratsuka-sensei!” Suddenly, Hina’s voice was heard.

Even if he didn’t see Hina, he could hear she was embarrassed and also tense for a certain reason.

“Oh, right!” Hiratsuka suddenly realized something, and her voice also became quite solemn, “Shishio, something happened this morning.” As she started to talk, she didn’t hide anything and told him everything.

The girls didn’t bother him since they thought it was one of the business talks that he usually had.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t.

Instead, it was shocking news, which made him feel strange for some reason.

‘Kiriya is interested in women?’

He was dumbfounded and glanced at Kiriya, who discussed which decoration was good. However, what had happened in the teaching room definitely wasn’t good, and he was afraid this might affect the literature club.

At the same time, he also knew why Hina and Hiratsuka seemed to be nervous at this moment.“I will see you later, but thanks for calling me.”

“Huh? Why?” Hiratsuka was confused by his words.

“I just happened to wish to hear your voice, so I am glad…” His voice was straight and calm, yet it was filled with longing.

“…should I visit you now?” Hiratsuka’s breathing was rather hard, and she lost her focus. All she could think of was him and his voice, which told her he wanted to meet her.

“Hiratsuka-sensei!” Hina was speechless at Hiratsuka, who wanted to do something inappropriate, but she also felt slightly jealous for some reason.

He only chuckled and said, “Let’s meet up later in the evening.”

Still hearing his words, they nodded obediently. “Okay.” 2x

They didn’t really talk that much since what happened to Kiriya made the atmosphere around the teacher’s room quite tense since everyone wondered whether there were others who were also dating a student or did something inappropriate.

When Hiratsuka and Hina finished their calls, they returned to their seats casually.

“Hina, don’t be too tense.”

“O-Oh.” Hina quickly calmed down before she looked at Hiratsuka gratefully. “But I am glad that I am not alone, Shizuka-chan.”

“Don’t use “-chan” and my first name when we’re working, Hina.” Hiratsuka flicked Hina’s forehead.

“Ouch!” Hina held her forehead and complained, “But didn’t you do the same?”

“…anyway, it is alright. You don’t need to worry about anything.”

“……” Hina rolled her eyes and snorted.

“You know, if someone doesn’t know your relationship, they might think you swing that way.” Chihiro, who saw everything, looked at the two helplessly.

“……” Hina and Hiratsuka.

“Did you talk with Shishio?” Chihiro asked.

“Yeah.” Hiratsuka sat on her seat naturally and said, “But unexpectedly, he is rather calm.”

“Well, even if he quits the school, his life won’t be affected.” Chihiro shrugged her shoulders since she had confidence in her nephew.

“…….” 2x

How to say… they really didn’t know what to say at that moment, but somehow they also believed so since they felt this guy could do anything, yet if possible, they wanted him to graduate first since they knew what kind of ambition he had.

When the call was over, he also came to everyone while looking at Kiriya.

Kiriya also happened to look at him.

The two looked at each other, but their mood was different from before.

They were quite tense. No, it was Kiriya who was tense since he knew Shishio should have learned what had happened to him through that call before. As for who called Shishio, he could mostly guess since Shishio didn’t really hide his relationship.

However, Kiriya couldn’t do what the teachers that Shishio dated did since, to begin with, he didn’t even like a…

When Kiriya thought that Shishio would interrogate him, Shishio didn’t say anything and joined everyone like nothing had happened. He was stunned for a while and didn’t know what to do.

“Sensei, if you’re free, how about you help everyone? The faster we finish, the faster we go home, you know?” Shishio asked helplessly.

“Oh-Oh!” Kiriya nodded, but he looked at Shishio helplessly. This casualness… he was afraid if he was a woman, he might have fallen for him already.

“By the way, don’t think something so creepy.” Shishio tried to move away from Kiriya.

“It seems we’re closer than we imagined, Shishio-kun?” Kiriya smiled.

“Stop saying something so creepy!”

Kiriya laughed and thought that the dark clouds on his heart were cleared up, yet he didn’t know a storm was about to appear, and it was impossible for him to stop it.

As for Shishio, he went to visit Hina’s apartment and thought about the night with two teachers.
