461 The shame of the Newcomers’ Awards” (1/2)

Seiji did his best to withstand the assassin maid… er, his senpai's pressure as he explained the situation.

Thanks to Reo's testimony backing him up, he managed to escape suspicion of being a pervert yet again.

Although Mai accepted his explanation, she still didn't seem to accept what was going on.

”Junior, I'd really like to give you a good sermon right now, but I'm short on time… At any rate, please take good care of yourself.” The maid put extra emphasis on her last line.

'Don't do anything stupid.' Seiji felt as if he could imagine her saying that in between the lines.

”I shall remember it in my heart and will never overstep my boundaries.” He could only answer in such a classical fashion.

”Very good, then.”

Everyone left together after finishing breakfast.

Mika and Chiaki who was dragged over by Mika were astonished to see Mai at the Uehara apartments.

They had met this legendary former student council president during the school festival but had never talked to her before.

They all greeted and got to know each other.

At this moment, Kaede arrived as well. Mai greeted the blonde infirmary nurse, while Kaede smiled and greeted Mai by name.

”Juumonji-sensei, you're acquainted with Houjou-senpai?”

”Yes, she once brought a sick girl over to the infirmary, and we chatted a little. She left quite an impression on me at the time.” Kaede smiled faintly. ”I was thinking how she seemed like someone who might be Harano-kun's acquaintance or friend. It seems that I had been correct.”

”Why did Sensei think so?” Chiaki was rather curious.

”Because I felt like she was somewhat similar to Harano-kun… she didn't seem like an ordinary student.”

That was still a rather vague answer. However, Chiaki and Mika both now had looks of understanding.

”Heehee, Juumonji-sensei doesn't seem like an ordinary teacher, either. I could say the same for you.” Mai smiled faintly as well.

The beautiful female student (maid assassin) and beautiful female teacher (mafia family daughter) exchanged smiles in a beautiful scene.

Seiji was rendered speechless.

There was a dark secret hidden behind the maidens' beautiful smiles… was that how he was supposed to describe this scene?

Afterwards, Mai took Reo to her elementary school.

Seiji, Mika, Chiaki, and Kaede went together to Genhana High School. On the way, Seiji explained what he was going to do soon.

”A duel between Spiritual Ability users… I'd really like to see that.” Chiaki was as casual and relaxed as always.

”Shouldn't you be concerned about Seigo first?” Mika gave her friend a sidelong glance.

”It's fine, if he's participating in a duel, he'll definitely win! Isn't that right?”

”Seigo, don't die on me! You said that you would marry me and accompany me for the rest of my life!” Chiaki pretended to be deeply emotional.

”I never said such a thing!”

”Seigo, make sure to return alive! Mika's waiting for you to marry her and accompany her for the rest of her life!” Chiaki pretended to be serious.

”There was no such promise, either!”

”Seigo, you can't die! You still need to realize your dream of creating an extravagant harem!” Chiaki pretended to be hot-blooded.

”Realize, the hell! You're making it sound worse and worse! Stop trying to give me death flags like that!!” Seiji retorted energetically.

Mika and Kaede were rendered speechless.

The double-pigtailed girl could only sigh as she watched Seiji and Chiaki's vigorous debate, while the blonde teacher smiled.

”Uehara-san, you don't need to worry so much. If things were so serious, Harano-kun wouldn't be joking around like this.” Kaede noticed Mika's emotions and tried to coax her.

”I know… but it's still a duel… even if Seigo makes it sound so simple…”

”If you're so worried, try talking to him one on one then. Don't take Wakaba-san with you, heehee…”
