Stealing Spree

1200 Lucky Student

“Onoda-kun, come here. I’ll run you down on what you have to do.”

PE Class started and the same as the previous instances, Eguchi-sensei only tasked us to do some set exercises as she prepared for a lecture in Health Education.

As her Student Assistant, I got the privilege to skip on that but in exchange, I had to stand by to help her.

And that’s what’s currently happening. While our class and Class 3 were stretching out a distance away from us, Eguchi-sensei started briefing me for her lecture.

A while after she finished, we sat next to each other and I had the book she used as a reference in my hand. On the other hand, Eguchi-sensei was holding me the illustration she was going to use and asked me for my opinion.

“Don’t we need a better diagram, sensei? Like a real anatomical model for everyone to easily understand.”

Well, anatomy was part of the science subject while Health Education encompassed everything surrounding ‘health’. Mostly knowledge about diseases and prevention as well as how to keep our physical fitness. And that’s why it’s also attached to the Physical Education teachers’ job scope.

“No, this is enough. The explanation will just be the same and besides, you’re all going to tackle the same topic again in your science class. What I will be lecturing you on are the basics.”

“I see. Then I have nothing more to add, sensei. Just tell me what I have to do next.”

Eguchi-sensei nodded, taking my opinion as is.

Well, although subtle, there’s the hint that the woman just wanted to bring up a topic of conversation between us. To talk to me longer than spend it in awkward silence. She’s creating a way for us to interact more.

And that’s even further evidenced by her cheerful smile whenever I would agree with her.

With our backs turned to the other students, she’s showing that smile to me alone. For sure, once she started her lecture, Eguchi-sensei would be the same discipline-freak who’d not tolerate anyone disrupting her class.

“Let’s see. It’ll be great if I can have you stand there and do the lecture in place of me.”

“Uh. I don’t think I can without prior experience.”

Although that’s a lie, it’s a better answer than entertaining that suggestion. Besides, she just thought that up on the spot. She’s not serious about letting me lecture in her place. It’s more of something that just popped into her head.

“I suppose you’re correct. It’s my job to lecture, not yours.” Still enthusiastic about giving me more roles as her Student Assistant, Eguchi-sensei brainstormed a plausible task for me.

But in the end, she settled on something really simple, “What about watching me, Onoda-kun? Learn from what I do?”

“Yes, it’s better. But at the same time, it’s no different than what my classmates will do, sensei. Listening to your lecture.”

Her grin straightened and her enthusiasm deflated. She looked like she was about to be depressed but her recovery was swift. “Right… But your purpose will be different. I will also ask you to accompany me back to my office afterward.”

She might be a little fragile when it comes to interacting with male students or when rain clouds filled the sky but the usual Eguchi-sensei was an eager teacher who wanted the best for her students even if she could be seen as scary.

“I understand, sensei. Are we going to review something?”

“That and… I want to show you my appreciation. You won’t take my offer to eat ramen again so…” Eguchi-sensei’s voice turned rather soft by the end of it. And as she trailed her words, she sneaked a glance at me before turning her head away swiftly.

“Sensei, I feel like I’m about to get spoiled.” I jokingly said while scratching my head.

However, instead of correcting me, Eguchi-sensei almost jumped as she affirmed it. “That’s right! I’m going to spoil you. Is that better?”

I even saw her shoulders shake a bit when she turned to the side along with a subdued chuckle, trying her best not to act so obviously at how jubilant she was for later.

“Mhm. It is. I’m lucky to be your favorite student.”

“You earned my appreciation. You don’t need to be so humble.” Eguchi-sensei tapped my back, channeling her encouragement with it.

Following that, Eguchi-sensei and I walked back to the students and she started her lecture.

Unfortunately, I remained standing on the side without any chance to return to my girls.

Well, I could see them looking in my direction anyway. Moreover, there were also Itou and Misaki from the neighboring class; the former was only sneaking her glances at me while the former focused more on me than listening to Eguchi-sensei.

Really, between those two, it would seem that I was closer to Misaki than Itou. I guess I gotta soften up Himeko’s little sister more.

Uh. If she heard me referring to her like that again, it would make her frown again.

Anyway, after checking on all of them, I also started focusing on the lecture. At times, Eguchi-sensei would turn to me, asking me to explain some terms to the other students. Since I’ve read those in the book she handed to me earlier, I easily did that task and that made the lecture smoother.

But at the same time, I probably gained other admirers, or just envious gazes, whichever of the two.

I couldn’t care less about them or their reasons though. I simply finished my task as the Student Assistant and nothing else.

Close to half an hour later, Eguchi-sensei’s lecture finished. Though 15 minutes remained to her allotted time, she dismissed everyone early which made most of the students rejoice.

And like she mentioned, I soon accompanied her as we went back to her office.

I carried the book and the illustration she used.

On the way there, I couldn’t help but notice Eguchi-sensei’s cheerful mood as she hummed a familiar song.

Well, it was Yue’s song from her first album. One of the two songs which had an upbeat tone and lyrics that clearly expressed one’s happiness.

I didn’t comment on that and simply followed Eguchi-sensei.

When we arrived in front of her office, Eguchi-sensei turned around to face me. Still feeling rather enthused at what she declared earlier, she looked like she couldn’t wait anymore. Her hands were itching to pat my head and dote on me or perhaps hug me.

But then, as she opened the door and took a step inside, she suddenly froze as all her excitement withered down.

As for the reason… it’s because of the person waiting inside.

There she was, the PE teacher for the 2nd year, Orimura Sanae-sensei. She’s sitting on Eguchi-sensei’s long sofa with crossed legs and an extremely relaxed posture; she’s resting her back comfortably while her arms were stretched out from both sides. In one of her hands, was a can of beer.

She’s in her tracksuit. However, the zipper that split the middle of her top was pulled down, revealing her surprisingly buffed body as well as her tightly pronounced future. I got to hug her back at that shower room incident but since she was wearing something back then, I never knew she had this kind of body,

In any case, that’s right. Compared to the previous instances that I saw her here, the woman looked like someone who was so feel-at-home that she didn’t care about etiquette at all.

But as soon as she noticed me appearing from Eguchi-sensei’s side, the woman snappishly pointed at me without even covering herself up and shouted, “You! Why are you here again?!”

I was about to answer her but Eguchi-sensei beat me to it. “S-sanae. Would you care to zip up your jacket first? You’re in front of a student!”

For the first time in a while, I once again heard Eguchi-sensei shouting in annoyance. But I guess, she’s probably trying not to let my eyes be tainted by Orimura-sensei’s well-toned body.

Too bad, though, I already got that snapped in my long-term memory. Not that I would have any use for it.

“Oh, you’re right. Onoda, turn around!”

This woman, instead of turning around herself, she’s using her position as a teacher to command me.

Well, I better act like a good boy for now and do what she says. Maybe it’s also better that she’s here.

Who knows what would happen if I lost control when Eguchi-sensei started acting adorable in front of me…?
