Chapter 260 Some Time for Education
Toru Watanabe came back from school and met three female teachers who were returning from shopping at the door of his apartment.
It was seven o'clock, the Sobu Line train passed through Shinano-machi Station, the sky was completely dark, and the evening breeze was blowing.
"You came back early today." Akiko said sarcastically, "Didn't you go shopping with them?"
"Akira, Watanabe yesterday..."
Watanabe Toru interrupted Koizumi Aona, took the bags from them, and said:
"Teacher Akiko, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to correct my mistake."
"Don't apologize to me. The person you should apologize to is Qingnai. Spend more time with her in the future, okay?"
"ensure."
Akiko nodded with reluctant satisfaction.
Koizumi Aona wanted to say something, but Watanabe Toru stopped her with his eyes.
He wasn't smiling, but his eyes looked like they were.
A gentle and mischievous smile, as if your favorite and closest person is leaning close to your ear and whispering to you.
When their eyes met, Koizumi Aona had an urge to get closer to Watanabe Toru and forgot what he had wanted to say just now.
The four of them took the elevator and entered Room 501 together.
Aona Koizumi took off her suit jacket and prepared dinner in the kitchen, and Toru Watanabe went in to help.
Akiko tried to get in but was pulled away by Miyazaki Miyuki.
"Let me help you." Seeing Koizumi Aona wearing an apron, Toru Watanabe walked over.
"Well, just tie a knot casually." Koizumi Aona turned around, showing her beautiful back and graceful buttocks, facing Watanabe Toru.
This woman doesn't know anything about men.
Toru Watanabe looked at Koizumi Aona's white teacher shirt, which was tucked into her skirt at her slender waist.
He gently tied the apron into a pretty bow, then placed his hands on either side of her waist.
Koizumi Aona, who was arranging the order of cooking in her mind, trembled all over and her body stiffened.
"Watanabe?" The voice trembled.
"Teacher." Watanabe Toru responded in a low voice, reaching forward and wrapping his arms around her waist.
When he was about to press his body against hers, Koizumi Aona twisted her body and broke away from his arms.
"What are you doing? Miyuki and the others are still outside!"
She turned around, leaned her back against the kitchen counter, clasped her hands over her chest, blushed, and looked at Watanabe Toru warily.
"Teacher, you said you would take the baby home." Watanabe Toru said aggrievedly.
"But now..."
"Are you planning to come to my place later? When the time comes, I can't guarantee that I'll just hug you for a while." Toru Watanabe looked expectant.
“…”
Looking at Aona Koizumi who was in inner conflict, Toru Watanabe opened his arms.
Koizumi Aona hesitated for a long time, but still did not move her feet and leaned into Watanabe Toru's arms.
She turned her red face away, not looking at Watanabe Toru, but at the kitchen floor, and said in a low and trembling voice:
"Come here and hug..."
Toru Watanabe walked over, put his hands on Aona Koizumi's curvy shoulders, and asked her to turn around.
"Teacher, you cook, I won't disturb you."
Koizumi Aona turned around trembling, and as she took out ingredients from the shopping bag, Watanabe Toru hugged her from behind.
Teacher Koizumi, who was admired by both teachers and students of Kamikawa, had her slender waist fall into the hands of Toru Watanabe.
"Teacher, keep going. I'm hungry." Toru Watanabe rested his chin on her shoulder and said in her ear.
Koizumi Aona bit her lower lip, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were as bright as tears.
She lowered her head and looked at Watanabe Toru's hands around her waist.
"Did you hold him tightly?" She was very flustered, afraid that Akiko and the others would suddenly walk in.
"No."
"We agreed to just hug you for a bit!"
"I hugged you for the second time?"
However, Koizumi Aona tried to pick vegetables, but her brain was so confused that she couldn't figure out which part she didn't need.
In front of Toru Watanabe was the black hair of Aona Koizumi.
When standing on the podium, this black hair is full of teacher's majesty, and no one dares to offend.
At this moment, he put his nose close to it, sniffed the fragrance, and whispered:
“It smells so good.”
"Your body is so warm, too." Toru Watanabe leaned close to Aona Koizumi, and in a trance he seemed to have returned to his childhood.
While worrying about whether there was chalk dust on her hair, Koizumi Aona suppressed her shyness and removed the roots of the asparagus.
At a certain moment, when she felt something strange in her buttocks, she turned around suddenly and pushed Watanabe Toru away.
She looked at Toru Watanabe, blushing and assuming the authority of a teacher.
"Watanabe, please show some respect to the teacher. If you continue like this, I will be angry."
"I'm sorry, teacher, I couldn't control myself."
Koizumi Aona quickly glanced at Watanabe Toru, her face turned even redder and she became even angrier.
"You are a student now. Although your grades are good, you can't slack off. If you don't get first place in the country in the official exam, the teacher will be so guilty that he will kill himself."
"The love between teachers and students doesn't need to be so heavy."
"I'm not kidding you." Koizumi Aona said in a stern tone, just like a teacher lecturing a student.
"I'm sorry." Watanabe Toru said ashamedly, "For the teacher, I will study hard."
"What do you mean for me?" Koizumi Aona was almost shaken again.
She quickly put on a straight face and said, "Although we are...dating now, you must focus on your studies. Do you hear me? If your grades drop, I will inform your parents. Don't expect me to indulge you."
"There are penalties for declining grades, but are there rewards for staying in first place?"
"award?"
"It can't be that there is only punishment but no reward, right? I won't do such a thing."
"What reward do you want?" Teacher Koizumi started to hesitate again.
"Hmm - let me think about it." Watanabe Toru imitated Kiyono Rin, put his hand on his chin, and pondered, "If it's a school exam, the first place will be hugged three times; if it's a national exam, the first place will be kissed once."
"Kiss, kiss? No, no!" Koizumi Aona shook her head.
"Teacher, don't you want to kiss me? Do you remember that time? You were facing the mirror..."
Koizumi Aona reached out and picked up the kitchen knife from the chopping board: "Facing the mirror?"
Watanabe Toru raised his hands: "Nothing, nothing."
"Don't mention those things, understand?"
"clear."
It seems that those things are quite shameful memories for Koizumi Aona, and are topics that are absolutely forbidden to mention.
Koizumi Aona put down the kitchen knife and let out a sigh as if she had switched her personality.
"If you're first in the school, I'll give you one. If you're first in the country, I'll give you three times." After saying that, she turned around and continued to process the asparagus.
She then realized that the portion left on the chopping board contained some unwanted roots, while the shopping bag serving as a garbage bag beside the chopping board contained a few needed roots.
I was just being hugged by Toru Watanabe, and my head was so hot that I couldn’t think about the mistake I made.
Toru Watanabe also came to help.
The kitchen became busy.
"Watanabe, wash the pot."
"good."
"Get me some eggs, they're in the fridge."
"How many do you want?"
"Try it and see if it suits you."
“Hoo-hoo.”
"Spit it out quickly, don't burn yourself."
Except for an unexpected incident when tasting the food, the two of them worked together seamlessly.
In the spacious kitchen, there is the sound of cutting vegetables on the chopping board, the sizzling sound of food heating in the pot, and the buzzing sound of the gas stove; everything is harmonious and natural.
After dinner, Watanabe Toru was driven away and Koizumi Aona ordered him to do his homework.
Friday, May 4th, was a sunny day.
After two days of rain, Tokyo was sparkling and the vending machines on the roadside looked as new as if they had been repainted.
Toru Watanabe walked on the uphill road in front of the school. The emerald green leaves of the cherry trees extended all the way to the center of the slope, turning it into a tree-lined avenue.
On the tree-lined avenue, the sunlight was scattered all over the ground.
In front, Kiyono Rin was walking alone among the dots of light, like white gentian flowers dancing in the wind in the fields.
Whenever he saw this scene, Toru Watanabe's mood inexplicably improved.
I really want to go up to her and scare her, like patting her shoulder or deliberately pulling her charming long hair, but forget it, I will definitely get scolded.
"Good morning, Kiyono-san." He walked over and called out to the gentian flower that was walking away.
"Good morning, Watanabe-san." Kikyo left the fading wind and landed to greet Watanabe Toru.
There was no conversation, although there was a lot to talk about, such as the ball skills conference.
The two of them climbed the hill in silence, basking in the May sunshine, which was already a very pleasant thing.
When Toru Watanabe came back from the activity room after delivering roses, Miki Kujo had already arrived.
On days like this when there were no classes, she would not come and would sleep in on the big white bed with canopies.
The reason why she was here was because yesterday Toru Watanabe suggested that the three of them accept the invitation from the broadcasting club together.
"Miki, you are still as cute today." Toru Watanabe sat down in his seat and turned to say to Miki Kujo.
"Yeah." Kujo Miki replied lazily.
"Didn't sleep well?"
"busy."
"Pay more attention to rest."
"I have nothing to do tonight. I can finally have a good rest for a day." Her voice was very pleasant, and now it had a special flavor.
There are some clematis planted in the flower bed in the courtyard outside the window.
The ball skills competition was not worth mentioning. Watanabe Toru tried his best to pass the ball and let other teammates take the spotlight.
Even though he disappointed his “female fans” who were expecting him to perform a big show, he didn’t perform any exciting scenes.
It was enough that Senior Mai was the one he fell in love with at first sight. He didn’t want anyone to fall in love with him uncontrollably because of something.
But even so, the female classmates cheered just by seeing him running around on the waxed basketball court in his sportswear.
There was nothing interesting about him himself, but another interesting thing happened at the time that had nothing to do with them.
I remember it was a girls' competition between Class One and Class Two.
I don’t know if they didn’t understand basketball or what, but all the participating girls gathered under a basket, waiting for the basketball to fall like baby birds being fed, and then immediately threw it up.
Toru Watanabe saw with his own eyes someone throw a basketball into the opponent's basket.
Some girls off the field were still shouting "Come on!"
The physical education teacher who acted as the referee was stunned for a long time before he blew the whistle.
Because it was so funny, the next year the skills competition was changed to football, and people are still discussing this issue.
At noon, when Toru Watanabe and the two beautiful girls went to the broadcasting department, he told them about this matter.
"What's the funny part?"
"Are you kidding me?"
“…”
"Mr. Watanabe will not serve you two boring women anymore."
"Are you saying I'm boring?" Qingye Rin looked over.
"No."
"I heard it too." Kujo Miki said, "Watanabe Toru, you are getting bolder and bolder."
"... Let's go quickly. Don't keep the broadcasting department waiting. We are the trio standing at the top of the Kamikawa River. We can't lose our manners. By the way, the trio standing at the top of the Kamikawa River is called the Kawakami Three. What do you think?"
"Not much."
The two people who made the same comment looked at each other unfriendlyly.
As expected, he is someone with whom I have old feelings.
They didn't meet before, but now with the bridge of Watanabe Toru, they communicate more frequently.
Toru Watanabe even thought that he didn't need to do anything now. Sooner or later, the two of them would appreciate each other. They would either openly declare themselves friends or refuse to admit that they were bad friends.
Did the honest Kiyono Rin have to admit it, and then Kujo Miki followed suit because she was shy? Or was there another development?
Toru Watanabe is looking forward to that day.
Arriving at the broadcasting department, the three of them were interviewed.
Miki Kujo and Rin Kiyono are using new microphones and new chairs. When Toru Watanabe talked about it yesterday, he specifically reminded them of this.
"Good afternoon, everyone. This is the broadcast department. We have three guests today. Please introduce yourselves."
"Kujo Miki."
"Good afternoon everyone, I'm Kiyono Rin."
"Toru Watanabe."
In the broadcasting department, Kiyono Rin glanced at Watanabe Toru.
"I'm going for the cool and aloof Watanabe Toru today." Watanabe Toru explained.
Although no one knew what was going on, laughter broke out in every corner of the school when Toru Watanabe said this.
"Watanabe-kun always gives people the impression of being very cool," said the host.
"Everyone has misunderstood me. I'm not aloof at all. If you are a first-year classmate of mine, you should know that before I started dating Meiji, I dared to talk to girls."
"Hahaha, dare?"
"I volunteered. My husband K-san has a very good temper and loves me very much."
"Kujo-san, is what Watanabe-kun said true?" the host asked.
"Of course, I love Watanabe the most , right, Kiyono-san?"
"Please?"
"You are so shameless." said Kujo Miki.
"My face is as big as yours."
"No, your face is a little bigger than mine."
"If your eyes are not good, you can give them away. Even I have to admit that your eyes are indeed beautiful."
"Watanabe, who has the bigger face?" Miki Kujo sneered at Kiyono Rin and asked Toru Watanabe.
"I can't tell. I've only touched your face, Meiji, and it feels just as big."
Before the two could speak, Toru Watanabe said to the host, "Didn't you get a letter? Let's start. I haven't had lunch yet."
"Oh, okay."
In the teachers' office, the teachers were laughing like crazy.
Akiko slapped her thigh and said to Koizumi Aona, "You can also ask that kid Watanabe later."
"What do you want to ask?"
"Whose face is bigger?"
"How can I compare with a sixteen-year-old girl?"
"Can't you ask me? Your face shape is different, but the size is about the same. And the size of the face is not the key. If Watanabe hadn't said your face was small, don't let him touch you for a month."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
The two female teachers were whispering to each other, and Akiko, who didn't have a boyfriend, was passing on her experience to Aona Koizumi, who had a boyfriend.
"We received many, many letters this time, but time was limited and we didn't want the questions to embarrass the guests, so we only selected five."
"First, let's start with the first letter. The pen name is "Senior is so handsome". The content of the letter is: "Watanabe senior is so handsome! Watanabe senior is super handsome!" It's really a passionate letter, but it also speaks out everyone's thoughts. What do you three think about this?"
"So handsome, senior." Kujo Miki said with a smile.
"You're really handsome, senior." Qingno Rin's voice was gentle.
"...I prefer being called bro~bro~than senpai~please do it again."
"Give me a letter of repentance in the evening."
"yes."
"Hahaha, Watanabe-kun and Kujo-san are so in love. Here is the second letter, pen name <Sister Kiyono's Fan Club>, "Sister, can you hold a handshake event? We are all female fans!""
"No. And please disband."
"So handsome!" Toru Watanabe applauded.
"Poor fan club, but I think they like this about Kiyono-san, the flower of the high mountain. The third letter, pen name <Followers of His Highness Kujo>, "Queen Kujo, we are willing to swear allegiance to you!""
"You guys also disband." said Toru Watanabe.
"Disband, I only accept Watanabe's loyalty. Watanabe, when will you pledge allegiance to me?"
"Anytime, my queen!"
"You three all have unique personalities. The fourth letter, pen name <Watanabe-kun's Fan Club>, "Have you ever considered making a debut, Watanabe-kun? We will be your fans forever! Also, can you tell me about some of your personal hobbies and favorite things?"
"No. My hobby is Meiji, and the one I like is also Meiji. Meiji, I love you."
“Yes.”
"Watanabe-san, I admire that about you, but can I ask you a question?"
"We'll talk about it when we have time."
"I'm a little curious about Kiyono-san's question. The last letter, <Play the Trombone>, asked, "Watanabe-kun, do you think Kujo-san is cuter or Kiyono-san is cuter?" We are also curious about this question. In school, everyone has held a vote, and the winners and losers are mixed. As Watanabe-san who has the best relationship with Kujo-san and Kiyono-san, who do you think is cuter?"
Toru Watanabe took the letter and took a look at it.
"Play it, trombone," he pronounced the pen name.
"What's wrong?" the host asked puzzledly.
"Nothing, I just felt some malice." Watanabe Toru put down the letter, "As for cuteness, I think the two are about the same."
"What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly." said Kujo Miki.
"But Meiji is my girlfriend, so she is a little cuter in my heart."
"lie……"
"Thinking carefully, Kiyono-san is my best friend. Well, it turns out that we are both still as cute as ever."
For the following time, everyone in the school listened to Toru Watanabe being educated by Miki Kujo and Rin Kiyono.
"Tamamo is so beautiful, I will remember you!"
