"Today seems to be Friday?" Kazuma scratched his head. "Tomorrow's the weekend."
He didn't have any immediate plans. As he walked out of the school grounds, Kazuma opened the system interface and couldn't help but smile at the brightly lit wish list. "Miss Yuki-Onna really hasn't changed. Hm? She's not in Chiyoda… is she in Bunkyo Ward too?"
The person he was looking for now was naturally Mifuyu Yukino. Kazuma had always considered himself a man who kept his word, but why had she suddenly moved to Bunkyo Ward?
"Is this supposed to make me sneak into a girls' school?"
Kazuma stepped forward.
"Who are you?" His presence quickly attracted attention from the students inside. An aristocratic academy like this certainly didn't allow outsiders to enter freely—especially not a boys at a girls' school. Since Kazuma wasn't using any invisibility ability, he stood out immediately.
A girl wearing a disciplinary committee armband stepped in front of him, forcing him to stop.
"This is St. Peak Girls' Academy. Outsiders are not allowed—"
She was about to drive him away when Kazuma calmly took out a card and showed it to her. The elegant girl froze instantly, her voice softening without hesitation.
"Miss Disciplinary Committee, may I go in?" Kazuma asked, lightly waving the card.
"O-Of course. Please come in~"
With a bright smile, Kazuma stepped into the aristocratic girls' academy. "This thing really is useful."
[Universal Pass]
Fuyuka-senpai's wish had been long and troublesome—arguably the most difficult one so far—but the rewards made it worthwhile. Besides the [Famous Sword Electric Light Orb] and the [Seeker's Staff], he had also obtained the [Universal Pass] and an [Impression Beret].
All of them were excellent items.
Of course, the Universal Pass only worked in places related to passage or service industries, so it was still far inferior to the Demon Passport. Even so, it was more than powerful enough, and Kazuma was already very satisfied.
"What are you doing? Why did you let an outsider in?" Kazuma's luck was hard to judge, as he immediately ran into a blue-haired girl who appeared to be the Student Council President.
Mizuki Miyama frowned slightly. "And you, don't you know this is—"
The moment Kazuma raised the Universal Pass in front of her, her words abruptly stopped. Kazuma grinned. "I'm looking for Mifuyu Yukino. Could you show me the way?"
"Teacher Yukino? Of course," Mizuki Miyama replied with a gentle smile. "Please follow me."
So Miss Yuki-Onna had become a teacher here?
With Mizuki Miyama leading the way, the rest of the journey went smoothly. The other female students only whispered among themselves, casting curious glances as the Student Council President escorted an unfamiliar boy through the school.
As they walked, Kazuma occasionally glanced at the blue-haired beauty beside him. He had already remembered who she was, and his expression turned slightly strange.
Inside the St. Peak Girls' Academy office, an elegant white-haired woman in a business suit sat quietly at her desk. Her exquisite beauty, graceful figure, and refined temperament naturally drew attention even when she remained perfectly still.
Several male teachers couldn't help but steal glances at her, and even the female students admired Teacher Yukino's beauty.
In this aristocratic academy filled with beautiful girls, Mifuyu Yukino's charm still stood above the rest.
At that moment, footsteps approached. A handsome man wearing glasses, with a gentle and refined demeanor, walked over. Though admiration could be seen in his eyes, it seemed more like sincere appreciation than anything improper. "Teacher Yukino, may I pour you some water?"
Mifuyu Yukino's cup was empty, and the male teacher, Tonami Yuto, had noticed. His tone and manner were warm and considerate.
It was easy to see why he was popular—several girls nearby immediately turned their attention toward him as he appeared.
However, Mifuyu Yukino remained unmoved. Calm as ever, she pressed down on her thermos, her smile polite yet distant. "There's no need to trouble yourself, Teacher Tonami. I can do it myself."
Tonami Yuto's gaze paused behind his glasses, but his hand still reached forward slightly. Suddenly, a bone-chilling cold spread through the air, making him shiver and instinctively pull back.
Frost marks appeared on his hand.
"Teacher Tonami? Is something wrong?" Mifuyu Yukino blinked calmly.
"It's nothing." Tonami Yuto hid his hand behind his back, smiling as if nothing had happened. His expression remained gentle, though a trace of irritation and gloom briefly flashed in his eyes. "Miss Yukino, do you have time after school? Would you like to have coffee together?"
"I'm sorry, I don't have time."
Her refusal was immediate and direct.
"Tomorrow would be fine as well. Since it's the weekend—" he persisted.
"She doesn't have time on the weekend either," Kazuma's voice suddenly came from behind. Ignoring Tonami Yuto's startled reaction, Kazuma calmly walked up beside Mifuyu Yukino and chuckled. "My schedule has already taken up her weekend, hasn't it, Miss Yukino?"
"…"
"…"
His sudden appearance left Mifuyu Yukino momentarily stunned. Then, slowly, she licked the corner of her lips.
"Who are you?" The anger in Tonami Yuto's eyes deepened, though his tone remained polite. "Miyama-san, why would you allow an outsider to enter the school so freely?"
"Is there a problem?" Mizuki Miyama didn't see any issue with letting him in, especially since he had the Universal Pass.
"…"
Mifuyu Yukino rolled her eyes and let out a soft snort. "I never agreed to let you take up my weekend."
"Then I'll leave."
Kazuma turned to go the moment he said it. Miss Yuki-Onna immediately grew flustered and hurried forward, grabbing his arm. "You're really leaving?! You're just going to abandon me like that? Can't I complain a little?"
"It's only been a few months. Besides, I told you I'd come see you."
"Who knows if you're telling the truth."
"Then why are you working here as a teacher?"
"The pay is good. And how else am I supposed to support you, Kazuma-kun~?"
"… "
Her teasing made Kazuma roll his eyes.
At that moment, Tonami Yuto realized that Teacher Mifuyu Yukino knew this student, and that their relationship was far from ordinary. The smile on his face stiffened, especially when he saw that she didn't even look at him, instead holding the boy's arm as if ready to leave together.
Tonami Yuto's fists tightened.
"Teacher Yukino, even if he's someone you know, you can't just bring outsiders into the school," he said in a serious tone. "You should at least consider the safety of the students. That's a teacher's responsibility." He assumed she had already informed the Student Council President and the Disciplinary Committee, which was why no one had stopped Kazuma.
To an outsider, his words would have made him seem responsible and upright.
"There's no need for your concern, Teacher Tonami," Mifuyu Yukino replied calmly. "When it comes to safety, Kazuma-kun is far less dangerous than you."
"…"
As they brushed past each other, Kazuma cast him a brief glance. The sharpness in his gaze made Tonami Yuto instinctively step back, his expression turning unpleasant. Kazuma left with a faint, mocking smile.
Once the two figures disappeared, the gentle expression on the man's face collapsed, replaced by a dark, twisted gloom.
