Can I Still Be Your Heroine Even Though I'm Your Teacher?-Chapter 2Volume .12 - Trapped

Trapped 12

“It’s a choice where no one gets hurt. My parents just respected their son’s wishes.”

Tenjō-sensei didn’t miss even the slightest quiver in my voice.

“That’s what you believe, huh.”

“The best way to make things right would be to distance myself from Kaguya.”

“Why do you talk about yourself as if you’re an outsider and it’s someone else’s problem?”

“…yes?”

I didn’t understand what Sensei was pointing out at first.

But then she looked sad and angry.

“Now I know why you’re so mature, Yuunagi-kun. You have a habit of putting yourself last and prioritizing others.”

“I do think I’m pretty honest about expressing my own desires, though.”

I tried to joke, but Sensei’s expression didn’t change.

“The spirit of self-sacrifice is noble, but your heart will break if you keep doing that.”

“I chose this outcome myself!”

My emotional voice echoed alone in the gym storage room.

“Really, you’re such an idiot.”

With that, Tenjō Sensei hugged me.

Being hugged and gently stroked on the head, I couldn’t resist.

I calmed down while enveloped in her warmth.

“Sensei, this is school.”

“Just this once, let it be an exception.”

Soothed by her gentle words, I obediently complied.

“Would it have been better if you hadn’t had a stepsister?”

“Of course I was happy to have her. Kaguya taught me that not being alone is fun. She’s been and will always be an important stepsister to me.”

“You’re such a great Onii-san, aren’t you?”

No matter what, I can only ever be Nishiki Kaguya’s brother through and through.

“Yes, that’s why I chose you. You’re so kind that I had no other choice.”

Only this person seemed to understand what was in my heart.

“Sensei.”

“What is it?”

“I’m not such a great guy… I’m extremely interested in erotic things.”

“I know. I could always feel your gaze.”

“I want to kiss you, Sensei.”

Our faces were very close to each other as we gazed into each other’s eyes.

Moist eyes, flushed cheeks, glossy lips—I want to feel all of these even closer.

“Yuunagi-kun…”

“This is an exception, right?”

I gently touched her cheek.

Her ears turned bright red and the tips of her long eyelashes trembled.

“D-don’t.”

Yet, she didn’t run away.

Whether she closed her eyes out of fear or because she was waiting, I didn’t know.

Right now, only the two of us existed in this world, it’s our little secret——no need for words.

I wiped the corner of her lips with my finger.

“Sensei, you had some chocolate on your mouth.”

“What——”

I showed her my index finger with the chocolate on it.

“It seems it got there when you were eating a chocolate earlier.”

“——!?”

“This is payback for the other day. Or maybe would you really have been okay with a kiss?”

I smiled smugly as if to tease her.

With her face still downcast, Sensei hit my chest repeatedly while making inarticulate sounds.

“It’s nothing! It’s just nothing!”

“What is?”

“Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!”

“Sorry if I got your hopes up. Then let me try again.”

I pretended to reach for Sensei’s shoulder.

“Nishiki, are you there? Is Tenjō Sensei with you too?”

The voice that reached us belonged to Akira.

“Kuhouin-san! Thank goodness! We were locked in! Please open it right now!”

Tenjō-sensei pushed me aside and dashed to the door.

She was in such a state that she didn’t care if we were caught together anymore.

“Hang on, Reiyu-chan-sensei. Nikki, I’ll unlock the door now!”

Finally, the door opened.

“Reiyu-chan-sensei and Nikki, found!”

Mayuzumi-san pointed with high spirits.

“Thank you!”

Tenjō-sensei bolted outside as if her life depended on it.

“Sensei, why are you in such a hurry?”

Akira looked at us with a puzzled expression.

“Ah, I see! Nikki, were you doing something naughty with Reiyu-chan-sensei?”

“I tried, but I got rejected.”

I came out nonchalantly and joked around.

“There’s no way that happened!”

Sensei immediately denied it.

“Nishiki, you’re the worst. Sensei is totally creeped out.”

Akira’s face was terrifyingly expressionless.

“Kuhouin-san, please don’t take Nishiki-kun’s words seriously.”

“But Sensei, your face is all red.”

Akira narrowed her eyes as if trying to discern the truth.

“It’s just that it was hot in there.”

“I got too excited and raised the temperature of the gym storage.”

I bluffed boldly to protect Sensei.

Ah, this kind of response is putting myself last again.

“Wow, Nikki, you beast.”

Mayuzumi-san laughed heartily.

“First of all, Nishiki, why were you locked in there with Sensei?”

Ignoring my words, Akira asked in a stern voice.

“It was just an accident. We were cleaning up inside and got locked in without anyone noticing.”

I noticed Sensei looking restless beside me.

She wanted to leave as soon as possible, but she was conflicted about doing anything reckless in front of her students.

Seeing her like this, I came up with an excuse on the spot.

“Sensei, please go ahead. I’ll lock up and return the key later to the staff room.”

“Please take care of it!”

Trusting my eye contact, Tenjō-sensei hurried out of the gym.

“Hey-hey, Nikki, are you sure nothing happened? Ririka’s love-sniffing skills are like a police dog’s, and they’re telling me something’s suspicious.”

Once it was just the three of us, Mayuzumi-san approached me with a suggestive look.

“Mayuzumi-san, imagine if a guy came onto you while you were desperately holding it in to use the restroom?”

“Go die☆”

“Right?”

“Ah, I guess so~~, that makes sense.”

“It’s absolutely impossible.”

Of course, that’s the case.

There’s no way Tenjō Reiyu and I would be considered a match to anyone looking from the outside. Both of them naturally thought the same.

Unless decisive evidence appeared right before their eyes, no one would suspect anything between me and Sensei.

“What a disaster, huh?”

“Honestly, I’m saved. I’m glad you figured it out.”

“I tried contacting you so many times but got no response, so I came back to school. Then I found your bag left in the classroom. That’s why I went to the staff room to ask Tenjō Sensei, but Sensei hadn’t returned yet either. That’s how I found you.”

“Sorry for the trouble.”

“Apologize by treating us to lunch.”

“That’s right! Ririka and her are your lifesavers.”

“Gladly.”

Of course, today of all days, I obediently agreed.
