I hate it!
I hate it!
I hate it!
Tamura said it three times in a row.
These girls had never once looked him directly in the eye, let alone said such provocative words!
Tamura walked into the office, simmering with resentment towards pretty boys like Teacher Tsukino and the library brat.
Soon, he didn't hate those two as much.
What's the best way to solve a problem, as the saying goes? It's to discover an even bigger problem.
Tamura, who had taken his passbook from his office drawer, sat in his office chair and fell into a long silence.
"Why do I always encounter such rotten things?" His thick, trembling lips quivered slightly.
The funds for the school trip were due soon.
He had originally wanted to borrow a little, and pay it back once he made money.
...But now, his passbook was almost in the red, a gap that simply couldn't be filled.
If this continued, he would be fired.
Taking care of those disobedient brats with a meager salary, and also managing such troublesome funds.
Couldn't he ever encounter something good?
Tamura held his head, his expression exceptionally pained.
"What should I do... I need to think this through..."
At the same time, the images of the Library Brat and Shinomiya, along with Teacher Tsukino chatting happily with those schoolgirls, reappeared before him.
"That's it!"
Tamura suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a malicious idea surged into his mind.
"I'll secretly put the travel fund passbook into Teacher Tsukino's desk, and then anonymously report him. The director will surely verify this matter with me immediately, right? Then I'll pretend I have no idea where the passbook went, and finally, during the search, we'll find the passbook in Teacher Tsukino's desk..."
That pretty boy, I'll make sure he's ruined!
After muttering to himself, Tamura felt relieved that he was the only one in the entire office.
He cautiously walked toward Teacher Tsukino's desk.
This is it!
If this succeeds, the teacher beloved by students will turn into a morally corrupt criminal and be dismissed. Just thinking about it feels great.
Tamura grinned, but just as his rough hand was about to pull open Teacher Tsukino's drawer,
"Wait a minute, wouldn't the bank's surveillance quickly reveal it was me? Other aspects are also easy to expose. If I think about it even briefly, I realize it's full of holes."
Damn it, what should I do?!
Tamura clutched his forehead again, nearly bursting into curses. Heavens! Could I possibly get any unluckier?!
Heavens: Hello, yes you can.
The next moment, Tamura discovered something even more unfortunate.
"Taicun-sensei?"
Someone was passing by the doorway.
Tamura's body jerked violently, and his waist, bent from his sneaky posture, nearly sent him sprawling onto the floor. Only after seeing who it was did he feel slightly relieved.
The good news was, it wasn't the director.
The bad news was, it was Shiina.
She was probably heading home after finishing her conversation with Teacher Tsukino.
"W-what is it? Oh, it's just Shiina," Tamura said.
Shiina Chizuru's gaze, however, grew sharper. She looked at Tamura, then at Teacher Tsukino's desk.
"That's Teacher Tsukino's desk, right? Why did you open his drawer, Sensei? I just saw you holding a passbook... Could it be that..."
Tamura felt an intense fear. It was over; he had been seen.
His mind instantly began spinning at high speed. Even when he was studying for his teaching qualification exam years ago, his brain hadn't worked this intensely.
Fortunately, it was just a student; he could still figure something out.
Tamura blurted out,
"N-no, that's not it! I didn't want students to know about this... but to prevent you from misunderstanding, I'll tell you. Actually, Teacher Tsukino has been embezzling school funds... Someone reported it anonymously, and I'm currently gathering evidence. How could Teacher Tsukino possibly do such a thing? I thought it was a misunderstanding, too... but I was shocked when I saw this. Look, the funds for the school trip in this passbook are almost gone, right?"
Shiina Chizuru froze instantly, fine cold sweat breaking out on her pale forehead.
"H-how is that possible? I... I don't believe it."
After hearing this news, her body swayed slightly, as if she were extremely weak.
At this moment, Tamura's quick mind started working again. Shiina Chizuru's appearance made him realize a certain possibility.
Perhaps... he could use this opportunity to threaten Shiina...?
He wasn't entirely sure, but Shiina Chizuru was indeed a rare beauty: petite, fair-skinned, with delicate features. Her small frame looked incredibly soft, and her demeanor—the way she, despite being a student, dared to criticize a teacher—had been etched into Tamura's mind.
I need revenge.
I need revenge.
I need revenge.
Tamura suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
"Do you want me to tell you the details? We could move somewhere else to talk privately," Tamura said.
"...Okay."
Hearing Shiina Chizuru's response, Tamura was overjoyed. The first step is always the hardest, and he had already succeeded halfway!
Haha, Heavens! Is my luck finally turning around?!
He subconsciously scratched his crotch.
And then,
Heavens: Hello, no you haven't.
Tamura forgot that after 'The first step is always the hardest,' the next line might be 'And the middle part is also hard.'
Snap! Quick! Very quick!
While Tamura was still immersed in joy, the passbook was snatched from his hand.
"!?"
Tamura immediately prepared to glare, only to realize... the person who snatched his passbook was none other than that Library Brat!!
Hayato opened the passbook and glanced at it.
"...Ah." Shiina Chizuru gasped. Oh no, wouldn't this expose Teacher Tsukino as the one who embezzled the public funds?
"Shut up." Hayato shot a cold glare at Shiina Chizuru, then clicked his tongue in annoyance: "...Always causing trouble for people. I originally planned to just focus on my studies..."
Shiina Chizuru.
Tamura.
They were all old acquaintances again.
In truth, Hayato didn't intentionally memorize the male names in his notebook, but with Tamura, he initially mistook him for Oomura. Only upon closer inspection did he notice that little something between his two thighs, which was why he remembered him.
Moreover, his balding hairstyle was certainly unique... allowing him to recognize him instantly.
Things like the development diary... He glanced coldly at Shiina Chizuru.
What an idiot.
To fall for something like that.
"...W-what do you want?"
The moment Tamura finished speaking, Hayato, without a word, drove a knee straight into his stomach.
"Ugh... cough..." Tamura was hit so hard saliva nearly sprayed everywhere.
Hayato didn't stop, however. He clasped his hands together like a hammer and slammed it into Tamura's back!
Bang!
Two hits!
Tamura collapsed onto the floor, wailing and groaning incessantly.
Shiina Chizuru was dumbfounded; she hadn't yet grasped what exactly had happened.
"Taicun-sensei...?"
"Follow me," Hayato said.
Shiina Chizuru hesitated.
"The passbook is in my hands now, so you have to listen to me," Hayato continued... P.S. Although I updated late, it was a triple update! So let the monthly tickets come even more fiercely! Bury me in them! Come!
