Absolutely rotten.

The other one maintains a friendly relationship with her best friend for over a decade, but secretly still harbors resentment over things that happened during their student days. The reason she chose to become a teacher is not because she likes it or is suited for it.

Instead, it was to keep a close eye on her best friend, in case her class actually made it to Class A.

The former refers to Chabazusa Sae, while the latter naturally refers to Asakusa Tetsu's wonderful homeroom teacher.

However, in the eyes of other students, she was probably just a cheerful and caring older sister with the flaw of liking to drink.

In fact, if you don't involve her best friend, Hoshinomiya doesn't have anything unforgivable besides drinking.

in case.

But once you're in a highly developed environment, it's really hard not to get involved with that dead person.

No matter what she does, it can be misinterpreted as an action taken in class struggle. As long as it is related to class struggle, or whether she can crush her best friend's class, Hoshinomiya Chie will stop at nothing.

"Haha, Asakusa-kun, really, stop playing dumb." Hoshinomiya Chie waved her hand with a laugh: "Weren't you standing all amicably with everyone in Class C yesterday?"

"Oh, I almost thought you were planning to transfer to Class C when school starts."

"However, seeing that Asakusa-kun still came to class today makes me feel quite relieved, doesn't it?" Hoshinomiya Chie rested her cheek on one hand, raising the index finger of the other and shaking it casually. "So, can you tell me why you were with Sakagami-sensei yesterday?"

"Could it be that he really wants to transfer to Class C?"

Transferring classes requires 20 million points, which cannot be disclosed for free at the moment. Although it's not directly related to the special exam in the first month, it serves as a clear reminder.

Hoshinomiya Chie didn't think Sakagami Kazuma would make such a mistake.

But the students in front of me were indeed mingling with the homeroom teachers from other classes.

This really... intrigued her.

"If I say yes... what does the teacher plan to do?" Asakusa Tetsu said casually, glancing around the office in front of him.

Actually, he came here yesterday with Kazuma Sakagami.

The teachers' office in front of her was not hers alone; several other teachers who were also homeroom teachers shared an office with her. However, those teachers did not seem to have returned yet, making the office seem somewhat empty.

The interview room was right next door, but Hoshinomiya Chie showed no intention of taking her in. Instead, she sat down in her chair and made her stand while she spoke to her.

It's hard to say whether Asakusa Tetsu was trying to put pressure on herself or if she had simply forgotten about the existence of a consultation room.

It didn't matter which one it was; he had no intention of being a good student, nor did he intend to meekly accept the conversation.

He abandoned his plan to pull a chair from another teacher's seat and instead plopped down on Hoshinomiya Chie's desk.

Since she wants to look up, let her get closer and look up.

"Eh..." His words and actions were unexpected, which only piqued Hoshinomiya Chie's interest more. Although she had some reservations about his sitting on her desk, she cared more about the reason behind it.

So, she adopted the look of a curious child:

"why why?"

“…” After staring at Hoshinomiya Chie for a while, Asakusa Tetsu changed his tune: “I was just kidding, I have no intention of transferring classes.”

It was pulled too far.

Is this woman actually getting curious?

These past few days I've been thinking about how to write the content of my diary, and subconsciously I've started trying to evoke my emotions.

Need to change.

While the possibility of revealing a flaw here is small, it's not entirely impossible.

...Try not to confuse the boundaries between the character's persona inside and outside the diary.

After a brief moment of reflection, Asakusa Tetsu stopped being coy and simply announced his surrender, then revealed the 'excuse' he had prepared long ago.

"Actually, I'm an old acquaintance of Longyuan from Class C," he said. "Since it was rare to see him again at the same high school, I couldn't help but go up and catch up with him."

"Then, without realizing it, I ended up in Class C's seat. By the time I realized it, it wasn't easy to go back to class, which is why things turned out like yesterday."

Ha, if Long Yuan heard this, he'd probably laugh his head off.

What a pleasant reunion with an old acquaintance!

He reminisced about the past and mentioned his two million personal points.

"Oh, I see." Hoshinomiya Chie immediately cooled down.

It's a perfectly reasonable reason and a perfectly normal explanation. It's not surprising at all that a high school student who just started high school would do something like this.

But it's very boring.

......

Chapter 19 Don't Dream What You Can't Achieve

The rather uninteresting answer made Hoshinomiya Chie lose interest in Asakusa Toru immediately. Although his behavior seemed rather unusual, she didn't intend to pursue the matter any further.

After offering a few platitudes that would be acceptable to anyone, she simply let Asakusa Tetsu go.

As I pushed open the office door and walked towards the classroom, a figure appeared in the corridor right in front of me.

Tea pillar Saeda.

Her brown hair was styled in a single ponytail, which was held high. Her full figure filled out the teacher's uniform, and the very defined lines of her body revealed a maturity that was different from that of a young person.

However, the face of this tall and elegant woman always wore a cold and indifferent expression that could kill at least ten mothers.

......unlucky.

He cursed under his breath and casually brushed past Chabashira Sae as if nothing had happened.

"..." Chabashira Sae stopped in front of the office door. Before entering the office, she first turned around to look at Asakusa Toru who was walking away, and then gently opened the office door.

"get out of class dismissed? Sae?" Hoshinomiya Chie, sitting casually alone in her office, propped her head up with one hand. "How was Class D this year?"

"Ah, no need to answer, I can tell from your expression."

"Hmm, the school's student evaluations haven't been too inconsistent this year." Nodding to herself, Hoshinomiya Chie smiled. "Class D should stay in Class D, don't you think? Sae-chan?"

"...Instead of worrying about Class D, you should worry about your own Class B." Chabashira Sae returned to her seat with a cold face: "To need to be called to the office for a talk right after the start of the semester, you seem to be a complete problem student."

At this moment, the only teacher in the office is Hoshinomiya, so it is not difficult for her to determine that Asakusa Toru belongs to Class B.

Although what happened to Class B was actually none of her business, and even if there were problem students, it was none of her concern, but Hoshinomiya's words were so rude.

Ah, of course she understood what her best friend meant.

Don't dream dreams that can't be realized.

But... what if?

Chabashira Sae still held onto a sliver of hope.

"Asakusa-kun? Oh, you saw him just now." Hoshinomiya Chie suddenly realized: "I only called him to my office because of some trivial matters. Although he was a bit tactless, there was really nothing wrong with him."

"Who knows."

The tea stalks and side branches are neither confirmed nor denied.

......

Not long after Hoshinomiya Chie called him to her office, Asakusa Tetsu returned to the classroom, just as the second period began.

The roughly fifty-minute class time ticked by, and soon the break time arrived again.

As soon as the school bell rang, the well-behaved students who had switched to class mode quickly switched back to break mode, and the classroom quickly became noisy after the teacher left.

"Hey, hey, Asakusa-kun is back. Didn't you just say you were going to be the first to go up and talk to him?"

"Even so, there's always this subtle feeling that I'm not very approachable. So, how should I start a conversation?"

"You're too indecisive! If you won't speak up, I'll do it!"

"Wait, wait a minute, Ichinose-san has gone upstairs!"

Under the watchful eyes of his classmates, Ichinose Honami, who had been unanimously elected as a class representative yesterday, clenched his fist and took the initiative to approach Asakusa Toru's desk.

"Um, Asakusa-san..." she said, taking out her personal terminal, "Would you like to exchange contact information?"

Upon hearing this, the students who had been secretly observing couldn't help but sigh.

"Wow, as expected of Ichinose, so direct."

"They accomplished what we couldn't do with ease!"

"..." Asakusa Tetsu had just finished thinking when he saw Ichinose Honami take the initiative to talk to him. He raised his eyebrows and casually took out his terminal: "Perfect timing, I was just about to look for you."

"Add it yourself." He unlocked the terminal and casually tossed it to Ichinose Honami, who was standing in front of him.

Hastily taking the terminal, Ichinose Honami responded:

"well!"

Feeling inexplicably nervous, Ichinose operated Asakusa Toru's terminal and added his contact information to it.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing her name appear in her friends list.

However, after logging in, she didn't rush to return the terminal to Asakusa Tetsu. Instead, she silently focused her gaze on Asakusa Tetsu's friend list.

...She wasn't the first person to be added to the list.

Besides her, there was another name that took the lead in Asakusa Tetsu's only friend list.

'Longyuanxiang'

Honami Ichinose remembered the name.

Then, she raised her hand and handed the terminal back to Toru Asakusa.

“And then, um…” She was about to say something more, but Asakusa Tetsu, who had taken her terminal, casually brought up his clipboard, opened Ichinose’s chat window, and gently clicked the paste button before looking up.

“Check the terminal,” he said.

"Eh? Okay." Despite being interrupted, Ichinose wasn't angry at all and obediently opened her terminal.

Immediately afterwards, she saw a long string of messages.

What's written above is the school's... 'truth'.

"..." Ichinose Honami was stunned.

The privileges exclusive to Class A include sequential class assignment, the requirement of 20 million personal points for transferring to another class, and a special exam in the first month.

"Are these things real?" She found it hard to believe.

But it also seems not to be incomprehensible.

After all, 100,000 points is indeed a very high level of achievement for a high school student.

"Shouldn't we just confirm this with Hoshinomiya?" Asakusa Tetsu put away his terminal and propped his head up with one hand. "Whether she nods or says she can't say, the answer will be clear."

"As for why I know these things and where I got the information, please don't ask." Anticipating the questions Ichinose Honami might ask, Asakusa Tetsu continued, "Personally, I don't really want to attract too much attention, so please just assume it's your own deduction."

"It shouldn't be difficult to deduce the cause from the result, right?"

“...It’s not difficult.” Honami Ichinose gripped her terminal tightly.

I confirmed with Mr. Hoshinomiya the source of the information; it didn't matter if he stood in front of the camera on his behalf.

These were not the things she cared about from the beginning.

The question she wanted to ask, but couldn't bring herself to say, was...

"Do you remember me, Asakusa-kun?"

......

Chapter 20 Self-satisfaction

This was not the first time Honami Ichinose and Toru Asakusa had met.

That being said, her relationship with Asakusa Tetsu wasn't that of childhood sweethearts who had reunited after a long separation.

Her first meeting with Toru Asakusa was a year ago.
