Chapter 35: Hina's Official Date!

Some time later, late at night, within the territory of the Gehenna Academy.

In the deserted streets, the teacher held Hina's little hand and discussed work-related matters together.

"thank you teacher."

Hina smiled and talked to her teacher about her future work.

"Your opinions have given me a lot of new ideas, and I will take them into consideration."

"Hehe, I'd really like to meet and have a pleasant chat with Hina."

The teacher looked at Hina with a smile, making Hina a little embarrassed, her cheeks turning slightly red.

"Teacher, you always say strange things."

"By the way, Hina, how effective was the inspection the Pandemonium conducted on you before?"

"The effect is pretty good." Hina nodded. "Ayako also told me the specific situation, so at least in the end I didn't have to go to the Pandemonium to beat them up myself."

"But I still want to thank you, teacher. If you hadn't communicated with Iroha and Ibuki, they would definitely have caused trouble for Ako and the others while I was away."

Seeing Hina's smile, the teacher's heart seemed to melt.

For some reason, after spending time with Hina, the teacher felt a strong desire to take their relationship to the next level.

Furthermore, Hina has been very tired lately due to the Eden Treaty, and every time the teacher sees Hina's exhausted expression, he can't help but feel sorry for her.

Then, let's invite Hina on a date!

"Hina."

"What's the matter, teacher?"

"Can you spare some time during the day?"

"What?" Hina asked, puzzled. "It's possible, but it'll only last 3-4 hours at most..."

"Let's go on a date!" the teacher suggested.

"Huh?" Hina was taken aback for a moment, then her pretty face flushed slightly. "A...a date? What are you talking about, teacher?! If other people see this...it's not a good idea, is it?"

"It's okay! Don't worry too much about what other people think!" The teacher said excitedly when Hina agreed. "Besides, didn't we agree to meet at a suitable time and place last time?"

Incidentally, unlike the original work, in the short period of one or two months since arriving in Xia Lai, the teacher has already met with Hina several times during the day. However, the locations are either classrooms and offices or training grounds, and the content is always work-related.

After those few meetings, the teacher made a promise to Hina to go to a suitable place together next time.

"Hmm... that's true. Okay, I'll make time for three hours tomorrow afternoon."

Hina nodded in agreement.

The two then talked about some work-related matters, and the teacher also shared his experiences in the past thousand years, except for those of the reincarnators, with Hina.

Hina was also listening attentively; she seemed to be enjoying her conversation with the teacher.

After a brief chat, the teacher drove Hina back home.

Back in Xia Lai, the teacher was incredibly excited. After planning her date with Hina, she worked overtime to finish some more documents before finally going to rest.

The next day, at 3 PM.

The teacher stood at the mall entrance, beaming with joy as he eagerly awaited Hina's arrival. Even the work he was doing this morning seemed incredibly comforting.

"Teacher, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Hina, looking slightly tired, was still wearing her work clothes when she hurriedly ran to the teacher with an apologetic expression.

"Ah, it's Hina resting in the sunlight!"

"That's a huge exaggeration..."

"Let's go, Hina." The teacher took Hina's little hand.

"!?"

Hina was taken aback by the teacher's initiative, then shyly tried to break free.

"Ah, Hina, you don't want to?"

The teacher's tone was slightly sad.

"There are too many people here... I'm a little embarrassed..."

Hina's face turned slightly red.

“It’s precisely because there are so many people here that I need to hold your hand so tightly,” the teacher said with a gentle smile. “Because I don’t want to be separated from Hina.”

"!!!"

Hina's mouth dropped open, her face flushed, clearly caught off guard by her teacher's direct approach.

"Is someone like me... really deserving of this kind of treatment...?"

Hina then lowered her head again and muttered something under her breath.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Ah, teacher, I'm fine." Hina's complexion returned to normal, and she slightly raised her hand. "...Well...holding hands is still okay..."

The moment Hina agreed, the teacher held Hina's little hand.

"......"

Perhaps feeling the warmth of her teacher's large hand, Hina's cheeks remained slightly flushed.

Although Hina was very busy, her small hands were still cold to the touch, and smooth and soft to the touch, which felt very comfortable to the teacher.

"Come on, Hina." The teacher took Hina's hand and led her into the mall. "I'll take you shopping."

Led by their teacher, the two held hands and went to a shop.

Hina saw beds, pillows, and pajamas in this shop.

"Teacher, what are we doing here?"

"Is Hina interested in these things?" the teacher asked, smiling at Hina.

"?" Hina looked completely bewildered. "Actually, I'm not interested in these things at all..."

"Um, Hina, don't you prefer a cuter style for things like body pillows and pajamas?" the teacher continued to ask her.

"Really...?" Hina looked puzzled. "I'm sorry, teacher, I don't think the style of my pajamas and pillow will affect my sleep quality."

"Moreover, sometimes I work overtime in the office and don't go home to sleep, so I rarely wear pajamas."

The teacher thought that Hina, who liked to sleep and rest, would be somewhat interested in things related to sleep.

It seems I was overthinking things.

No wonder there were no cushions among the gifts I liked.

As a fan of Hina, he knew that in the Bond storyline, Hina wasn't interested in most things.

But we still have to stroll around the streets. Just holding hands with Hina while walking around makes the teacher very happy.

Then, let's move on to the next stop.

The teacher then took Hina to a high-end cosmetics store.

"Um, teacher, you took me to such an expensive place..." Hina was also a little confused and ashamed. "I don't usually buy expensive cosmetics, and because of work, I don't spend too much time on them..."

At that moment, Hina noticed the advertisements on the small TVs hanging inside the store.

The advertisement playing inside is for Samuela's most luxurious perfume:

"Try it once, and you'll discover what makes you adorable!!"

"..." Hina noticed the perfume display case not far away, her eyes seemingly sparkling.

"Hina?" the teacher asked.

"Ah, teacher!" Hina quickly snapped out of her daze. "I don't want to buy anything here. Let's go somewhere else."

"Ah."

The teacher then led Hina to the next location.

In fact, the teacher had already noticed from Hina's expression that she was attracted by the most expensive perfume.

The teacher had read online analyses before his death, concluding that Hina liked this perfume not because of its high price or high-end status.

Rather, it's the perfume's tagline—find your own loveliness.

There was another toy that also mentioned "making people cute".

In fact, Hina always felt that she wasn't cute enough.

Despite his formidable strength, he held immense prestige within Gehenna.

But all of this brought her only a lonely and aloof feeling, as well as the pressure to demand more of herself, which in turn caused her to feel a little inferior.

This also led Hina to deeply desire someone to unconditionally pamper her, care for her, and sincerely praise her.

The reason why the teacher was a fan of Hina during his lifetime is because of this.

Strong, responsible, yet with a fragile heart that evokes pity—this is how Hina was loved by her teacher, both in life and now.

But the teacher himself was also worried that he might be the same as those reincarnators, merely satisfying his own simple possessiveness.

However, the teacher didn't want to mess things up too much.

Excessive worry leads to stagnation.

So don't overthink it, just take action!

After shopping at the mall for a while, the teacher and Hina went to a coffee shop to rest.

"What would you two like to do for me?"

"An iced coffee with milk."

"I want black coffee without sugar or milk."

Ah, it tastes just as good as ever.

The teacher smiled knowingly.

"Teacher, what are you laughing at?" Hina looked at the teacher with a question mark in her eyes.

"Hina's choice of coffee flavor is more mature than mine, an adult."

"More mature than an adult?"

Hina was taken aback for a moment before smiling and saying, "Teacher, please stop joking. I don't think I'm as mature as you yet."

"I'm just a... short, complaining kid who's not very cute."

"The date you were hoping for, teacher, shouldn't have been like today..." Hina said, her expression slightly ashamed. "I know very well that I don't have any hobbies. You must think I'm a very boring person, teacher."

"No," the teacher said with a smile and a shake of her head.

"Ugh?"

Hina paused for a moment.

Even the teacher was surprised.

But when she was with Hina, even just taking a walk, the teacher felt an immense sense of happiness.

"I had a great time on today's date," the teacher said sincerely. "I felt very happy during the time I spent with Hina."

"Moreover, Hina's smile is quite cute, and I'm already quite satisfied."

"!!!" Hina's cheeks flushed slightly, a little embarrassed. "I see... That's good then..."

In fact, Hina shared the same thoughts as her teacher.

However, she wasn't as candid as her teacher.

Perhaps this is the advantage of being an adult.

Hina thought to herself that this was the thought.
