As the third period ended, Suzumiya Chisato, who had brought two more ice cream cones, was beckoned to her by the smiling school nurse, Marikawa.

"Can I ask you for a favor, sir?"

Suzumiya Senri handed over an ice cream cone, prompting the school doctor, Marikawa, who was leaning forward so much that some parts of her body were too conspicuous, to straighten up and nod.

…………

Chapter Forty-Eight: Just kidding, I'm super...

Lifting the curtain, Suzumiya Chisato handed the ice cream cone to Touma Kazusa.

Touma Kazusa was already used to his arrival. After what happened with Pudding, she had a better understanding of some aspects of Suzumiya Chisato's personality.

Without taking out his wallet again, he simply reached out and took the ice cream, lifted the transparent lid, and bit off a piece of the white ice cream tip.

As Suzumiya Chisato watched her eat her ice cream cone and the smile that involuntarily crept into her eyes, she suddenly thought of the golden retriever she had raised in her past life.

Slightly shaking her head to clear her mind of these inexplicable thoughts, Suzumiya Chisato spoke.

"Ms. Juchuan had something come up after school and couldn't take care of you, so she asked me to take you home after school today."

Touma Kazusa, who was eating an ice cream cone, paused slightly upon hearing this.

"I never intended for Mr. Kikukawa to take me home. I can get home by myself unless I need to."

"Don't push yourself. Teacher Juchuan said your butt..."

When Touma Kazusa heard that word, her fierce and angry glare was like a sharp sword, as if it would pierce through Suzumiya Senri at any moment.

Upon seeing this, he quickly stopped talking and changed his wording.

"Teacher Ju Chuan said that although the bone in your injury was not broken, it is still a bit red and swollen, which will affect your normal movement to some extent. So for safety reasons, we will definitely have to have someone take you home."

"No need, I can manage on my own."

"But I've already promised Mr. Kikkawa."

"That's not necessary."

"Then at least call home and ask your family to come pick you up from school."

"...My family isn't around."

"Same situation as mine. No wonder Mr. Juchuan repeatedly told me to make sure you get home."

Suzumiya Chisato's words made Touma Kazusa ponder them deeply.

Is this annoying guy also living alone, just like me?

"The last class later is PE, and there's a long-distance running test, so it might run a little over. You'll have to wait for me a bit. I'll pack your bag and come over as soon as it's over."

"Hey, stop acting on your own initiative. Who gave you permission to do this?"

Touma Kazusa raised her head, revealing her slender and graceful neck, and deliberately widened her delicate eyes to show her resistance.

But the moment she met Ryouji Senri's gaze, she felt a flutter in her heart for some reason, and a slight shyness and wavering washed over her.

So she shifted her gaze and focused on the other person's brow.

Faced with this situation, Suzumiya Chisato remained silent for a moment before reluctantly turning back and, in a tone of reverence, using the forbidden technique.

“Ms. Marikawa! Touma said she can go back on her own and doesn’t need me to take her.”

"!??"

You actually tattled on me?!

Touma Kazusa looked on in astonishment.

Hearing this, the school doctor, Ju Chuan, on the other side of the infirmary, quickly got up and put on her high heels, the crisp sound coming closer as she walked.

“Dame Touma, injured people should be aware of their injuries and not disobey orders.”

Even when she deliberately tried to project the authority of a teacher, the words spoken by School Nurse Ju Chuan were still incredibly gentle and soft.

"..."

Touma Kazusa lowered her head resentfully, glancing with displeasure at Suzumiya Chisato, who was playing on her phone with a half-smile.

"Something came up after school today and I couldn't get away, otherwise I would have taken you home myself. Don't worry the teacher. Let the gentleman take you home, okay? Hmm?"

Unlike other teachers, the school doctor, Ju Chuan, doesn't unconsciously adopt a superior, elder-like attitude when facing students, which is why she is very popular among the students at this school.

Touma Kazusa was the same; she couldn't like any of the other teachers at the school, but she couldn't bring herself to resist this teacher who was like a kind older sister next door.

To put it bluntly, she's the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

"...Yes, I understand."

"Very good, very good, good boy. I will get some topical medicine later. Remember to use it when you get home tonight. After a good night's rest, you should be fine tomorrow."

"Yes."

After explaining everything, the school doctor, Ju Chuan, left with a smile.

"mean!"

Touma Kazusa gritted her teeth and spat out those two words to Suzumiya Chisato.

Suzumiya Chisato didn't respond to her comment, put away her phone, and stood up.

"I need to go change into my gym clothes. Just like we agreed, I'll pick you up after the long-distance running test in PE class."

"Hmph, you'll definitely fail."

"Are you kidding me? Who are you looking down on? Getting an A is a piece of cake for me."

Suzumiya Chisato strode confidently out of the infirmary.

Thirty minutes later, while peering out the window at Touma Kazusa on the other side of the playground, she took out her phone and captured a picture of the man who had previously uttered such grand ambitions, now panting heavily and looking like he was about to collapse after being scrambled through the air.

"Who are you looking down on? Getting an A is a piece of cake."

When Suzumiya Senri reappeared in the infirmary, disheveled and breathing heavily, she was met with disarray.

Touma Kazusa took out her phone, repeated the sentence in his tone, and showed him the extremely embarrassing scene that she had just recorded.

Suzumiya Senri blushed.

He's only been in this world for two days and hasn't had a chance to test his physical fitness at all. The physical education class he just had was his first real test, and who would have thought that his body's endurance performance would be so poor! It's completely unlike what a teenager should be doing.

On the Pure Love System's personal panel, his physical condition score is 6.

He was very skeptical of the data's authenticity, feeling that with such a performance, the score was at most 3.

"gone!"

Suzumiya Senri had their two schoolbags hanging on her shoulders.

He felt ashamed of his performance in the physical education class and didn't want to recall the embarrassing experience, so he led the way out of the infirmary.

hum~

Touma Kazusa was in a good mood. After greeting the school doctor, she slowly followed them out.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The main gate of Fengcheng University Affiliated School is located on one side of the main street, and students pass through this gate to and from school.

The back door is only temporarily opened when special events are needed; otherwise, it is kept closed.

Opposite the school gate is a bustling commercial street.

The stationery store, snack shop, and beverage shop offer a full range of products.

Inside a milk tea shop, a staff member standing behind the counter would occasionally cast curious glances at a table of customers.

The reason for my curiosity is that the two guests' attire was quite intriguing.

Despite the hot weather, they were wearing hats and masks very thoroughly.

Not only that, she also vaguely remembered that an hour and a half ago, the two guests seemed to have walked back and forth on this street several times.

Finally, I decided to go into the shop and then took a seat by the window.

The sun was shining through the transparent glass, and even though the store has air conditioning, it must still be very hot.

Why not sit in the shady spot when there are plenty of shady places available?

The shop assistant was completely baffled.

…………

Chapter Forty-Nine: Of course, we followed.

"No, Mom, let me explain..."

"I didn't go astray! And I didn't skip class without a reason; there really was a reason why I asked for leave!"

"Don't tell Dad, he'll nag me again if he finds out! Anyway, Mom, you have to believe me..."

"Okay...okay...I understand...I'll explain when we get home..."

"kindness……"

Inside the bubble tea shop, Kasumigaoka Utaha rested her chin on her right hand, which was covered by a mask, and watched with great interest as Sawamura Eriri desperately tried to defend herself to her mother, who was accusing her on the other end of the phone.

After the other party hung up the phone, he burst out laughing.

"So this is what happens when you don't study hard."

"I want you to take care of it!"

Eriri Sawamura retorted fiercely.

She is very depressed right now.

After the second period in the afternoon, she was persuaded by Kasumigaoka Utaha to ask her homeroom teacher for leave on the grounds of feeling unwell, and the two left the school one after the other.

They met outside the school gate, bought a top at a nearby clothing store to change out of their school uniforms, and then put on masks and hats before sitting down at a milk tea shop in front of the Fengcheng University Affiliated School because of what they were going to do next.

Everything went smoothly here without any problems.

But little did anyone know that Eriri Sawamura's homeroom teacher was a responsible and dedicated teacher, and he called the Sawamura family to inform their parents of the news.
