Chapter 220 - Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [17] (2/2)

「Umm yes, it’s delicious. It’s the first time in my life that I’ve eaten such delicious cookies!」

「I-Is that so… I’m very happy to hear that. It was worth practicing every day.」

A lovely, girlish smile bloomed across her face like a flower.

「……」

My heart skipped a beat looking at that cuteness.

「H-How very bold…」

「So cool… It’s very Rose-san like!」

「Damn you! I am burning with hatred towards you today… Allen.」

As the classroom got noisy, a chime rang to signal the start of the homeroom.

With that as our signal, we each take our seats.

Just a few seconds later, the door was opened vigorously, and the cheerful Leia-sensei walked in in high spirits.

「Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Today is Valentine’s Day which only comes once a year, but… Hmm, there seems to be pleasant vibes floating in the air.」

With a shady smile, her displeasure showed on her face. How very unusual for sensei.

(Nn? She looks to be in somewhat of a bad mood today.)

When I was vaguely thinking about that,

「Hey, did you know? Apparently, due to sensei being too tomboy-ish, she has never been popular with guys since her student days.」

「Aa, I heard it from a senior in the swordsmanship club. She has a very good face and an outstanding figure, but.. I guess love is quite difficult to find.」

「If I remember correctly, she’s entering her thirties this year, right? It’s about time she started looking into marriage prospects.」

「Speaking of… I noticed sensei dressed in a suspicious outfit a while ago entering a cooking class. Maybe she’s secretly training to be a bride.」

From here and there in the classroom, information that I didn’t want to know flew around wildly.

Those whispers must have reached sensei’s ear.

She had a complex expression of anger and sadness as she frowned.

「W-Well then, there are no announcements today. Let’s move right away to the first period class. I have prepared a『special menu』for today, so some of you should be prepared.」

Sensei said that with a trembling voice, and for some reason she glared at me.

(Haa… I don’t really understand, but this is going to be a hassle again.)

I know it because I’ve been through a lot of trouble over the last year.

In all probability, the next class will be rough.

「Okay then, everyone move to the schoolyard!」

Then, I moved to the schoolyard with the whole class, while heaving a sigh deeply.
