"But I'll warn you beforehand, nine times out of ten, compliments between girls are fake, okay?"
Kurosawa Maki swayed her shoulders back and forth as if she were dancing.
"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do about it."
"Here comes the ultimate silent treatment! If I were your boyfriend, I would definitely break up with you!" Kurosawa Maki crossed her arms and pouted, pretending to be angry.
alright."
Goto Yu lowered his hand, and Kirishima Mai raised her hand to hold her ponytail.
The girl seemed a little uncomfortable, frowning and moving her head from side to side, though not by much.
“Mai is indeed the prettiest among us,” Nagasawa Mia said bluntly.
"No," Kirishima Mai shook her head.
Kuno Tachibana crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Really? I've always thought Miya is the prettiest."
"Really?" Nagasawa Miyako asked, somewhat surprised.
"Of course, hasn't anyone said your eyes are very beautiful? Many girls' eyes droop a bit, but yours are slightly upturned, giving people a very sharp feeling."
From a yearly perspective, her figure is also very good, giving people a very "firm" feeling.
Mia Nagasawa crossed her arms and tilted her head as she said:
"Huh? Me? Sharp?"
“A strong woman,” Goto Yu said.
"Really? Yu, you think I'll be a strong woman in the future?" Nagasawa Miya excitedly leaned forward, her eyes sparkling.
Goto Yu leaned back, blinked, and said:
"Yes, um."
"Okay! I'll definitely become a strong woman from now on!"
“Such a deep sisterly bond,” Kuno Tachibana raised an eyebrow.
Just then, the bell rang, but it wasn't the bell to start the morning meeting; it was a bell to notify first and second-year students to prepare for assembly.
The group packed their things and went downstairs.
On the way, Kirishima Mayi held Kuno Tatsuka's small hand and asked softly:
Did you bring the clothes that everyone bought for you?
Why are you asking this too?
Kuno Tachibana sighed helplessly and spoke in a voice the other three couldn't hear.
"That skirt is too short, how can I wear it? Honestly, they just buy things without considering the practicalities."
"Did you bring it?"
"I brought it."
Chapter 362, Section 361: The Hokkaido Girl on an Airplane (Part 6 of 2)
The journey from Hakodate to Sapporo by limited express train takes more than three hours. [Fantasy Princess + Already published%$; Latest Chapter?]
Upon arrival at Sapporo Station, you will need to transfer to a train bound for New Chitose Airport.
Kitahara Hakuba roughly estimated that he would need to go to the airport to wait for his flight and register his cargo, and he would only have half a day left in Hokkaido.
On the train, since it was a group trip, the school had already communicated with the railway staff. Looking around, several carriages were filled with students wearing Shenxu uniforms.
To ensure unified scheduling, changing seats privately is not allowed, and the leading homeroom teacher must count the number of students at each station.
Kitahara Hakuba was just an ordinary music teacher; if it weren't for a school assignment, he shouldn't have come on this school trip. The students in the carriage seemed very excited, chatting away, while the teachers sitting in the front were quite quiet.
"Although I am already thirty years old, I have never traveled far from home."
Sitting next to him, Kurosaki Yuu looked out the car window and said,
"I've only just left Hakodate, and I already miss my wife and children so much."
The aisle was right next to them. Kitahara Hakuba and the bespectacled, muscular teacher sat together. As a teacher, one could choose a seat, but there were too many people.
He doesn't yet have the courage to sit with his students.
Kitahara Hakuba took out his phone and asked evasively, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"boy."
Kurosaki Yuichi sighed helplessly and said,
"Although there are birth subsidies now, the cost of raising a child is indeed quite high. Why did I choose to study sports in the first place?"
"Yes, it is really tiring."
Kitahara Hakuba nodded, then suddenly wondered if, in the future, he and Shinomiya Haruka had a child, would she choose to become a full-time housewife and live a peaceful life under his protection, or would she continue to support herself by running her music store?
Marriage seems exhausting. The constraints of not being able to support oneself and having one's livelihood entirely controlled by a husband.
Just as Kitahara Hakuba was inexplicably lost in thought, he suddenly sensed that something was amiss.
"Wait, you're already married and have a newborn child."
Kitahara Hakuba frowned, looking at him with confusion, and said...
"Then why is an anonymous love letter so agitated? Forgive my bluntness, but are you unhappy in your marriage?"
"Huh? What does this have to do with my marriage?" Kurosaki Yuichi seemed confused.
"Isn't it alright?"
"Of course it doesn't matter to me."
Yuichi Kurosaki's expression showed no trace of guilt.
"I'm just curious about who it is, it doesn't mean I want to cheat. Most ordinary men are like this, they're always a little curious about women who actively admire them, at least that's what I think, that's one reason. The second reason is that I want to privately educate her. She's still a minor, yet she has these kinds of thoughts about a male teacher. Isn't she the one who's wrong?"
“I didn’t ask these students not to date in high school. I’m not some kind of monster. But what does it mean to fall for a male teacher? Don’t you think there’s something wrong with this girl’s concept of chastity? She’s only sixteen or seventeen, a minor, right? Maybe even fifteen. If this continues, she might fall in love with the lecherous old president of her company when she’s just graduated from university at twenty-two and starting work. She might fall in love with a young caregiver at a welfare home when she’s sixty-five and retired. As an upright male teacher, I might have to purify her soul right now, really.”
Kurosaki Yuichi rattled off a long string of words, and Kitahara Hakuba glanced sideways warily, then whispered:
No, I think it might be because of her personality, or perhaps some shortcomings in her living environment, that she developed feelings for her teacher.
Kurosaki Yuichi frowned slightly, resting his hand on his chin, and said:
"This situation is indeed undeniable, but Kitahara, don't you think it's extremely rare? Besides, reality isn't a novel or a movie; where do you find so many female students who fall in love with their teachers because of their various shortcomings?"
Kitahara Hakuba's gaze instinctively drifted towards the corridor. Kurosaki was right, but what was going on with him? Had he stirred up some trouble?
Kurosaki Yuichi placed his large hand on Kitahara Hakuba's shoulder and said:
"Kitahara, I know you're popular, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."
"Why are you comforting me? I was talking about you." Kitahara Hakuba moved his hand away. "What do you plan to say to that student?"
"I don't know, we need to find out who it is first."
Kurosaki Yuu rested his elbow on the armrest, propping his chin up with his hand, and said...
"In short, we need to make her understand that liking a male teacher is wrong and unacceptable. We need to instill correct values in her."
"Teacher Kitahara, would you like some potato chips?"
Just as Kitahara Hakuba remained silent, a voice came from behind him. It was Tenkai Sou, holding a bag of Koikeya potato chips.
Cucumber flavor is Kitahara Hakuba's favorite potato chips. They have a refreshing taste and aren't as heavy as other flavors.
"Thank you."
"Kurosaki-sensei?"
"kindness?"
Yuichi Kurosaki had been staring out the window for some time now. When Aoi Sou asked him a question, he frowned and said seriously,
"Don't move around unnecessarily while the train is moving!"
"I noticed that none of the teachers brought anything to eat," Tianhai Cang said, scratching his head. "I was thinking of bringing some food over for them."
"Oh, oh." Kurosaki Yuichi quickly changed his expression and said with a smile, "Thank you."
"It's okay, give them all to the teacher."
"Are you all enough?" Kitahara Hakuba asked.
"We bought a ton! Eat as much as you want!" came Matsuoka Nobuyuki's voice from behind.
Kurosaki Yuichi stood up and shouted, "Eating is fine! But don't eat anything with a strong smell in the carriage!"
Kitahara Hakuba didn't say anything, he just kept eating cucumber-flavored potato chips.
The view outside the window has lost much of its greenery, giving the impression that everything is gradually decaying.
When arriving at Sapporo Station, you usually need to take the JR Rapid Airport Line, but because the students had a lot of luggage this time, they chose to charter the airport bus.
Each class waited for the bus in an orderly manner at the station.
"Those who need to use the restroom, hurry up! You need to be here within ten minutes!" the ferry manager shouted.
Because this was a group trip with a large number of people, even Ferryman Eishi came.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, Sapporo seems even colder than Hakodate."
Kurosawa Maki crossed her arms and rubbed her body back and forth as she spoke.
"I should have worn a cardigan underneath."
The temperature in Kagoshima is even better today, at 22°C. Many students are only wearing a long-sleeved shirt underneath so they don't have to change clothes at the last minute, and they can take off their jackets when they arrive.
Some students used those three minutes to buy something to eat, some played games intensely on the train until their phones ran out of battery and they ran to find a charging socket, and some started taking photos in the station.
"Mai, are you going to the restroom?" Kuno Tachibana asked.
“Hmm.” Kirishima Mai silently withdrew her gaze from these people.
"We'll go too."
Mia Nagasawa, pulling Yu Goto along, came over from another class and asked,
