After deciding to give up, he started to gain popularity

But having said that, I finally stayed there despite the fact that there was another person of the opposite sex in the bathtub.

"Ohh, you've already arrived, Yukinoshita."

"…You'd better explain it to me, Hiratsuka-sensei."

"……what?"

121. Double A in strength and speed, C in chest and brain!

"Why should I do such unnecessary things? I can handle my own affairs." Yukinoshita Yukino was in a bad mood.

After all, she was being taken advantage of for free, especially when that bastard actually said something that deserved death, it was impossible for her not to care.

The most important thing is that the culprit of all this is actually the teacher in front of him!

Even if she really wanted to help, she couldn't meet in a place like this, right? How thick-skinned was she?

"I knew you were unreliable, but I didn't expect you to be this outrageous."

"Ah? No, I was just a little late, why do you say that..." Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a little ashamed, feeling that her authority as a teacher was not reflected at all in front of the other party.

"That's not what I'm talking about..." Yukinoshita pursed her lips, feeling that the other party was playing dumb, but the guy was staying at the back door of the rockery, and she couldn't say in front of him that "she was troubled by his affairs."

Doesn't this show that she cares a lot about that guy?

"Forget it...what do you want to say by calling me here?"

"That's the thing. You should have guessed it a long time ago."

"It's more than just a guess... Anyway, you don't have to worry so much. You don't have to worry about my sister... you don't have to worry about her request. I know what's going on and I can take care of myself."

"Well, it's not entirely because of Haruno. After all, you are my student. As a teacher, I still have to show you some proper concern." Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand and scratched the itch on her chest.

Ripples began to appear on the surface of the water, as if the bathtub itself was vibrating, attracting the attention of the people nearby, whose hands could not help but touch the water.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Hiratsuka Shizuka asked in confusion, thinking that Yukinoshita was shocked by her words. "Hey, don't look at me like this. I have all the morals that a teacher should have."

"If that were the case, you wouldn't have stuffed that guy into my service department in the first place."

"Ahem...he's also a problem child! And that Hikigaya guy too, no, isn't he treating him pretty well too." Although she said that, Hiratsuka Shizuka still felt a little guilty.

After all, strictly speaking, the other person's troubles were ultimately caused by her.

"Don't change the subject..." Yukinoshita frowned, feeling that if they continued talking like this, they might have to touch on things that couldn't be discussed right now.

"You should have something important to tell me, right?"

The implication is that if there is nothing special, just break up.

Hiratsuka Shizuka naturally understood what she meant, and her tone couldn't help but sound a little sad: "After all, I am your teacher, there is no need to despise me so much... I'm telling you, don't really leave."

"I can't say anything about your personal affairs, but as for Yono... let me advise you to go home." Hiratsuka Shizuka spread her hands, feeling a little helpless, "I don't know why you came to me. No matter how you look at it, these are your private affairs and family affairs."

"..." Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a long time before she slowly nodded, "I understand. Thank you for your help."

"Ha, I'm just a messenger. You don't have to worry about anything. Just do what you think is right... After all, you are my student now." After saying that, Shizuka Hiratsuka stood up and stretched her waist.

"This bath is nice. It feels as comfortable as a hot spring. Even my waist feels a little relaxed."

Like that person, Yukinoshita Yukino is also a smart person, but their personalities are very different. If they didn't look similar and have the same surname, it would be difficult to connect them together.

As their common teacher, she knew the sisters very well, but although she cared about them, there was only so much she could do. If she interfered further, it would be a bit beyond the rules.

"Anyway..."

"You, why did you suddenly stand up! Sit down quickly." Yukinoshita was a little panicked, but she couldn't turn around to check if someone was peeping.

"Ah? Because I'm done and ready to go..." Shizuka Hiratsuka was a little confused, not understanding why she seemed to react so strongly, but when she followed her gaze, her eyes fell on her chest.

"...Ahem, well, I don't think you need to be so anxious. After all, your family has good genes..." She didn't want to show off, but she didn't expect Yukinoshita to care so much.

Indeed, this level of development is not good. I remember that Yang No was already quite big at that time...

"What are you talking about..." Yukinoshita frowned and didn't react for a while, but soon came to her senses and her expression became not so good again.

One by one...are those things that important? Can't we live well without them?!

"Please get out of here."

"Yes, yes, yes." Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hands. Just as she thought, Yukinoshita still cared.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Remember not to soak in the bath for too long, or you'll miss your curfew."

"..."

After Hiratsuka Shizuka left, the bath returned to its peaceful state. After a long while, Yukinoshita said slowly, "She should have gone far away. Come out now."

"..."

However, she was answered by silence.

So she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. What was that guy going to do? Did he want her to go over and invite him in person?

However, when she really moved behind the rockery, she found that Xiachuan Zou was not there at all, and there was not even a trace of him having stayed there.

"..."

Damn it, why did he think she stayed here? That guy...

So the resentment deepened.

I may have trouble falling asleep again tonight.

On the other side, Xia Chuan Zou was standing outside the bathroom, leaning against the wall and breathing slightly.

It’s not that he was tired, after all, it was just a short distance and it wouldn’t be a problem to walk for a few more hours. The key point was that he was under too much mental pressure.

Even when he sneaked all the way out, he deliberately held his breath for a long time, for fear that someone would hear his breathing and then be reported as a "pervert who broke into the women's bath."

Not only do you have to pay attention to the movements around you at all times, but you also have to reduce the noise made by dressing and walking. Coupled with various factors, the psychological pressure is almost at its maximum. It can be said that it is no less than playing a tense and exciting finals - the kind where you say goodbye to life if you lose.

"Huh? Isn't this our student council president? Why is he standing here? This is the bathhouse for teachers. Is he waiting for someone? Or... is he preparing to peep?" A teasing voice suddenly sounded.

"This joke is not funny, Mr. Hiratsuka..." Natsukawa Kanade pretended to be calm, but in fact he felt a little guilty.

After all, he had just come out from inside, and he might have been discovered by the person involved a long time ago.

"Really? I think it's quite interesting... Don't stay out too late, and remember to go back before curfew." Fortunately, this broad-minded young female teacher did not ask him too many questions. She just gave him a reminder and left.

"...Yes." Xiachuan Zou nodded silently.

Now he finally understood why he met Yukinoshita and the others here. It turned out that it was all the front desk's fault!

What kind of hostel is this? It's really harmful!

122. Has tsundere already retired?

After calming down a little, I started my return journey. The journey back was quite peaceful and I didn't meet anyone along the way.

When he entered the dormitory, he found that the other three roommates had already gone to bed, so he avoided the possibility of being interrogated. At the same time, he had not yet thought of any excuse to fool them.

So, the next day arrived in peace and tranquility.

Because of his biological clock, Xia Chuan Zou, who had a regular schedule, was the first to wake up. While everyone else was still in a deep sleep, he got up lightly and washed up. After taking care of himself, he came back to wake everyone up.

"Everyone, wake up. It's time to get up. If you sleep any longer, you will miss the morning self-study class."

With his voice volume, it was more than enough to cosplay as an alarm clock, so everyone woke up slowly, and the first thing they did after opening their eyes was to greet him with friendly greetings.

"Hey, it's not even 7 o'clock yet? What are you doing so early? Are you in such a hurry to become a social animal???"

"How big a misunderstanding do you have about the term 'corporate slave', Hachiman-san?" Natsukawa Kanade rolled his eyes and then pretended to lift up his quilt, but was quickly stopped by the latter.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm a naked sleeper?!"

"What does it matter? They are all men anyway."

"Respect other people's feelings, you bastard!"

Although Hikigaya resisted very fiercely, he still succumbed to the power of Natsukawa Kanade and got up obediently.

Thanks to the intense interaction between the two, the other two also sobered up a lot. They put on their clothes and went to wash up together.

During the period, they greeted each other and joked for a while, and it seemed that their relationship had improved a lot, especially Hikigaya Hachiman, who was even able to take the initiative to act together with a few people without being forced.

I wandered into the cafeteria and found that the counter had already opened for business. I had to praise this, but the dishes were pitifully few and it always felt a bit out of place.

"What would you like to eat? How about a barbecue set?" Xiachuan Zou suggested.

The experience of eating with so many people is still invaluable, especially when they are all boys. It feels like I have unlocked a very rare achievement in my life.

"No, it's too greasy. Can you clean it so early in the morning?"

"My treat."

"count me in."

"Isn't it greasy?" Xiachuan Zou teased.

But Hikigaya Hachiman was not moved at all, and explained convincingly: "Science has proven that a day's plan begins in the morning. Only if you eat enough and well in the morning can you be full of energy for the whole day."

"Are you sure you need—motivation?"

"Stop talking so much. Anyway, you said you would treat us. I recorded it. Don't try to cheat me."

"..." Xiachuan Zou had no choice but to shrug and agree to do as he was told.

The two people on the side couldn't help but show a slightly curious look at their familiar interaction.

“It feels like you have a really good relationship.”

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Yes, it's your illusion!" Hikigaya quickly shook his head and denied it, "It's just that this guy came up to me shamelessly, and I couldn't refuse him!"

"He's obviously a popular guy. Just now, when he was walking on the street, people kept coming up to him and saying hello, but he had to come to my dark corner..."

"In short, in short! There is absolutely no such thing as a good relationship!" Although he just denied it subconsciously, he still felt a little embarrassed when looking at Natsukawa Kanade because he saw a hurt expression on his face.

"Hey, so this is how I am in Hachiman's mind... I'd better not bother you again in the future..."

"No, this...it's not...it's not that serious..." Hikigaya opened his mouth, looking a little self-blaming, but just as he was about to apologize to the other party, he found that Natsukawa Kanade suddenly changed his expression.

"Look, it's very interesting, right?" He pointed at Hikigaya, then shook his finger and said, "What era is it now? Tsundere has become obsolete, especially for boys... Why are you looking at me like that?"

The looks from the guys seemed a little strange. Even if he had flirted with Hikigaya, they wouldn't have looked at him with such a subtle expression, right? It was like watching a scene where a girl who cared about him became extremely depressed after hearing his slip of the tongue.

I looked behind me with suspicion and saw a girl with blonde twintails holding a plate.

“Play, play…”

It turned out to be a tsundere golden-haired girl, who stood there blankly, looking at him with a wronged expression.

"..."

"I...had...been...right...ahhh..." He couldn't even utter a complete sentence before running away with the plate, vaguely revealing the aura of a crying loser.

"..."

“Wait… no…” He wanted to chase after him to explain, but found that he had already run away. He could only stay where he was and sigh, “Why didn’t you remind me…”

"Well, actually we don't know what happened. We just saw this girl who seemed to want to say hello, but suddenly she was stunned." Tanuma Tsubasa explained.

The other two also nodded, indicating that they had no idea.

"..."

But of course Natsukawa Kanade understood what was going on. After all, the other party was Eriri, the one who appeared to be a dignified young lady in public, but was actually a tsundere stay-at-home girl.
