A secret give-and-take during class
This happened during a certain worldhistory class. During a small quiz, Hiiragi-chan was walking throughthe rows of tables, looking at the students.
She really looks like a teacher. Butwell, she actually is one.
…Ah, our eyes met.
And Hiiragi-chan looked away, bashful.
Sensei. A cute gesture like this is abit unfair during class.
While I was just watching her, Fujimotosuddenly cut in, sitting at the table next to me.
“Sanada, question five, what’s theanswer?”
“I don’t know~”
I was just about to look at it myselfas he interrupted me. And, don’t just ask me. This is a test, youknow?
“Sanada-kun, no whispering overthere,” Hiiragi-chan warned me, with a serious face.
[Right now we’re teacher and student]was what she probably wanted to say by that.
Though I wasn’t the one at faulthere, Hiiragi-chan doing her job as a teacher was so cute that Imight actually want to be warned again.
While I wasn’t really worried aboutthe final exams, the other students in the class even focussed onthese earnestly.
Slowly but steady, Hiiragi-chan walkedover here. The sound of her footsteps completely disrupted my focus.The moment she passed me, she leaned over and picked something up.
“Sanada-kun, your eraser.”
My eraser? No, mine’s still on thetable so it must be Fujimoto’s.
As I was about to say that, she putdown a new eraser on my table. From the small case, I spotted a tinypiece of paper. When I pulled that out and unfolded it, I foundsomething written there.
[The answer to number five isHabsburg♪]
She wrote the answer onthereeeeeeeeeeeee?!
The person posing the questions isgiving out the answers?!
What just happened?!
Did she hear me, whispering to Fujimotothat I didn’t know the answer?
I glanced at Hiiragi-chan as she passedme, and as she turned around to look at me, she showed me an angelicgrin.
Then, what exactly did that [Right now,we’re teacher and student]-like gaze mean? You’re actions are thecomplete opposite! And her way of handing it to me was also weird…
What is she thinking, really.
……
Let’s write a reply.
“Even though you said you didn’tknow, you properly wrote an answer, hey,” Fujimoto whispered as hechecked my solutions, looking at me like I was a traitor.
Sorry, Fujimoto. But, I really am atraitor, getting such a cute girlfriend behind your back.
But, I decided to react accordinglytowards Loner Man, namely ignoring him, and wrote my answer.
[Thank you. This test is prettydifficult. I’ll try my best.]
Now then. How do I deliver thatmessage. Right now, Hiiragi-chan was standing in front of the blackboard, looking over the entire class. Suddenly standing up would lookweird. I guess I have no other choice but to make her come over here.As our eyes met, her gaze seemed to say [Did I do good?]
Well, she did something good for me,but not as a teacher.
Ah, now.
Acting like she was checking thestudents once more, she walked towards me.
“Sensei. This isn’t mine,” I saidand returned the eraser.
“Ah, really? Sorry.”
“No no.”
Looking at the eraser, Hiiragi-chanspotted the small piece of paper, and, *Poof*, her face went red.
Her expression was saying somethinglike [Ehhhh, wow, you properly wrote a response~] and she pressed thepaper onto her chest.
It seems like that made her heartthump.
Hiiragi-chan, you’re a teacher rightnow! What are you blushing for during a test!
She looked at me with a poutingexpression, only to return to her normal teacher-like face as sheonce more passed by me.
Suddenly, with ten times her normalwalking speed, she rushed towards the teacher’s desk.
So faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast! Justhow much do you want to read my reply! I feel like I’ve seen anafterimage of you!
Slowly checking my answer, she grinned,and once more faced towards everyone.
“Was the quiz that difficult?”
That’s what I just wrote!! That’smy subjective opinion!
All the elite students that werealready finished titled their heads.
“It wasn’t that difficult, though?”
Ahh, it seems like Fujimoto and I werea bit behind in our studies. However, Hiiragi-chan shook her head.
“This quiz was pretty difficult. Ithink.”
She saw my reaction and felt bad?!
All the other elite students justlooked at her with an astonished expression.
“Seems like most of you are finished,so should we slowly…?” Hiiragi-chan said and glanced at me.
She’s clearly waiting for me. Thisperson, her camouflage is so bad!
As I just finished the last question, Inodded without looking at her.
“Okay, test is over. There’s stilla bit of time left, but I’ll stop it now~”
So she was just waiting for me tofinish. She’s really giving preference to me. Though the person inquestion probably tries to hide that.
Behind me, the quiz sheets arrived, andI put my own on top and handed it forward again.
“Somehow, Hiiragi-chan looks reallycute today~” Fujimoto said, having realized her charm.
“Yeah, she’s cute.”
“Eh, what’s with that triumphantlook.”
And with that, Hiiragi-chan receivedevery quiz sheet.
“T-That will be all for day…F-Forthe rest of the time, please study for yourselves…” With thesewords, she picked up the workbook and attendance list and hurriedlystepped out of the classroom.
There’s still 20 minutes left intothe lesson…Did she hear the conversation between me and Fujimoto?
That day, lunch break.
“It’s foul play, saying somethinglike that during class…”
I was scolded by Hiiragi-chan as herface went red while remembering it. Her reaction was so cute that Idecided to get even more scolded by her.
