Episode 77 – The face she knows


The S**ttiest Gyaru in the Class Confessed to Me


โ€œ…I understand.โ€

That was my response to Ichika’s SOS.

But what should I do?

I don’t know what to do specifically.

Should I consult with Miyabi sensei?

…No matter what I say, I think I like that teacher.

Then Ichika said with a smirk,

โ€œHmm. Sou kun, do you like Nagisa chan? If you tell him, he’ll probably cry with joy.โ€

Wait, it seems like my thoughts just slipped out of my mouth. Lately, this kind of thing happens a lot.

Oh, I should ask her about something I found strange earlier.

โ€œBy the way, you mentioned something about your parents finding out earlier… Did you receive a threatening letter at home?โ€

โ€œ…I haven’t heard the word โ€˜mysterious letterโ€™ in a while.โ€  

Ichika chuckled.  

This girl… I’m seriously worried, yet she’s laughing.  

โ€œSo, what’s going on?โ€  

โ€œOh, I was worried that it might get back to Kinoshita san.โ€  

Kinoshita san?  

Who’s that?  

The conversation was so abrupt that I couldn’t keep up.  

Then, Linne sensei walked by.

(…What was that about wanting to talk alone earlier? Could it be a confession?)

I felt a little nervous.

Then, Ichika raised her hand.

โ€œKinoshita san. I was surprised because it was so sudden.โ€

Then, Linne sensei sighed.

โ€œMiss. Please stop calling me that.โ€

โ€œThen should I call you Rinne chan?โ€

Hmm.

Hmm.

Linne Underwood.

Underwood…

Kinoshita…

Linne…

Rinne…

What !?

Could she be the secretary at Ichika’s dad’s place?!

No wonder.

I’ve met her a few times, so I felt a sense of familiarity.

Linne sensei cleared her throat.

โ€œMy name is Kinoshita Rinne. Apparently, the president wanted to come himself, but since he’s a relative, he couldn’t be the homeroom teacher, so they chose me because I have a teaching license.โ€  

Come to think of it, Ichika’s dad was really worried about her. Maybe he was so worried that he sent the secretary.  

โ€œThis is sudden and inconvenient ! !โ€  

Ichika put her hands on her hips and complained.

โ€œIf it had been revealed beforehand, you would have refused, right?โ€

Ah, I see.

That’s how the rumor reached Daddy’s ears.

โ€œBy the way, what was it you wanted to talk about earlier?โ€

When I asked, Linne sensei answered boredly.

โ€œI wanted to tempt Aira kun and see if he was a suitable man for the young lady.โ€

Really?

Everyone loves to risk their lives to test men, whether it’s for love or something else.

But that was dangerous.

I don’t have the confidence to refuse such a beautiful blonde woman.

โ€œWait, but Linne sensei, you weren’t blonde when we met before, were you? Did you dye your hair dark back then?โ€

Then. Linne sensei raised her index finger and shook it slightly.

โ€œTsk tsk. I dyed it myself. And I’m also wearing contacts.โ€

โ€œIt doesn’t look out of place at all.โ€

โ€œWell, my mother is British, so it suits me.โ€

She’s getting a little cocky.

โ€œBut what would you have done if I hadn’t refused?โ€

Linne sensei stuck out her tongue.

“Nothing. If that’s the case, I would have gone all the way. I like you quite a bit.”

โ€œAre you saying that because you’re Katase san’s (Ichika’s dad) partner?โ€

Then, Linne san clapped her hands and laughed.

โ€œ……The president? No way. He’s not a bad person, but unfortunately, I like younger guys. So, I’m single. So, what do you think?โ€

โ€œIchika is here, so it won’t happen that way.โ€

โ€œHmm. Don’t you want to hold a blonde girl? It’s a rare opportunity. Do you hate my face? I’m actually pretty popular.โ€

To be honest, Linne sensei is quite cute.

But I can’t admit defeat.

โ€œ……..โ€

Silence is golden, they say.  

I decided to keep silent.  

Then, Ichika peered into my face.  

โ€œNot saying anything is like admitting you’re giving in to temptation ! !โ€  

Ichika was furious.  

Like some ancient philosopher.  

If you had stayed silent, you would have been in big trouble.
