Chapter 308 – Episode 35. After the First Inquiry, Two People Reveal Their Identity.
Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi knew each other’s faces and names, but they weren’t actually that close. We were in the same class only once, and at that time, we had different groups of friends, so we had no contact to become friends with.
While Akina Konoe liked feminine things such as tea ceremonies and flower arrangements, Yuka Otagi was an active student who liked exercising and biking. They couldn’t become friends because their personalities were so different.
Even though we didn’t have much contact, I was very happy to see each other in the 3rd grade special class today. This was because the two had even less contact with the rest of the students.
If you include Risa Minamoto and Shii Seizawa, who are troublemakers and don’t attend school often, and the kids who were always in special classes because they’re unwell, and the eccentric Rena Sakagami, who keeps wearing masks, and the students who become hikikomori and don’t come to school, it’s actually a year. We were in the same class and were the best friends in the class.
“Please take care of me.”
“I am.”
We didn’t know why each other was a 20-year-old high school student, but we both thought that there must be a story like ours. It was when the classroom door opened and Taira Ryuta came in that everyone’s curiosity completely disappeared.
Even though he had dyed his hair blonde, tanned his skin, and wore glasses, he was clearly Tyra Ryuta. He still looked handsome.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Ryuta Yamashiro, and I have been the homeroom teacher of the special class since the second semester.”
Ryuta Yamashiro? Why did you change your last name? Or was that the original castle? Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi were both confused.
Still, the two did not pretend to know right away and stayed quiet. School starts today, so I’ll finish quickly, so you can ask questions later.
After the short but long first day of the semester, while waiting to meet Ryuta Taira alone, Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi glanced at each other and had the same thought.
‘Why isn’t he going like this?’
While both were thinking the same thing, Ryuta Taira opened her mouth.
“You both follow me to the training preparation room.”
The two followed them to the training preparation room next to the classroom. The two didn’t know what to say because the other person was there.
“…”
“…”
“You both know my identity, so you can say whatever you want.”
As both of them remained silent, Taira Ryuta opened her mouth as if she was frustrated. At those words, Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi looked at each other.
The red-eyed magical eyes met the golden vampire’s eyes. I had no idea that they both knew Taira Ryuta’s identity. This was the only point of contact between the two that had not overlapped until then.
According to what we talked about in her training room, Ryuta Taira changed her name to Ryuta Yamashiro because of her mission and then infiltrated St. Francis Girls’ Academy.
“Then I’ll see you both tomorrow.”
On the way home from school after seeing Ryuta Taira off, the two remained silent for a while before Akina Konoe opened her mouth.
“Shall we stop by a café for a moment?”
“Good!”
Yuka Otagi nodded her head vigorously at Akina Konoe’s suggestion. There were so many things we were curious about each other.
Miyashi was small, but she had everything she needed. This is because the foolish people of Myeongga brought all the most popular franchises to Miya City so that they would not fall behind the trends. No matter how much of a deficit we had, we couldn’t have a loss even if we wanted to because the parents’ association of St. Francis Girls’ Academy provided support.
“Let’s go to Starbox.”
“Yes.”
The two headed to the franchise coffee shop closest to school. After ordering and receiving coffee for each person, the two sat down in a corner with no one around to hear.
“Teacher, how did you meet Ryuta?”
“Hmm… “Before that, I have something to talk about.”
In response to Akina Konoe’s question, Yuka Otagi spoke about her friend’s disappearance and how she flew all the way to New York to search for her.
“Then what was the story when you asked earlier?”
“That’s right. That’s when I met Tyra.”
Yuka Otagi left out the fact that she was a vampire and told me about what happened in New York. It turns out that her friend died from drug addiction, and she took revenge, and in the process, Ryuta Taira helped her.
“If you want to help Ryuta, wouldn’t it be better to take a Korean class?”
“Okay, since this is Tyra’s first time as a teacher, we should help her.”
The two smiled at each other and nodded. Both smiles had other intentions than helping Taira Ryuta.
###
As I was preparing for tomorrow’s class after dismissing Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi, the last remaining students in the building, I heard someone knocking on the door of the education preparation room. Who is it? It’s already been over an hour since all the students left school.
“Yes, it is open.”
At my words, the door creaked open. A female student holding several books in her arms entered the education preparation room. That girl was my aunt, Tyra Khanna. What’s going on with Tyra Kanna? Was she here to help from day one?
“… Aunt?”
“Don’t say that, sir, because someone might hear.”
At the soft voice of Tyra Kanna, I unconsciously nodded at her. Yes, the mouth is the problem. If anyone passing by heard anything, this infiltration would be over. You have to be more careful.
“Then, Miss Tyra?”
“Please just call me by my name. That might be more convenient than sex. If anyone asks, they say we met briefly when we were young.”
She was someone I had seen since I was young. It was Taira Kanna who suddenly took on the role of my childhood friend.
“Okay, then I’ll just call her Kanna.”
Even though my aunt is younger than me, I still don’t like calling her aunt and being respectful, but I feel more comfortable if she takes the initiative and takes care of things like this.
“I am in a position to help you with your mission, so please contact me whenever you need me.”
Tyra Kanna speaks as she hands me a note with her email address written on it. I’m in a position to help… Are you in charge of something?
“Where can I help?”
As I spoke while receiving her note, Tyra Kanna smiled slightly and opened her mouth.
“I am the student council president of St. Francis Girls’ Academy High School.”
Ah~ Well, there is a female student from Tyra who attends the school, so it’s a bit weird for another student to become the president. Even if she had a female student from the rival Minamoto Group, she wouldn’t have run for president because she’s not interested in that group.
“Well, first, here is the student list. Normally, it should be given before the start of the semester, but special classes are special. Teacher, you understand, right?”
Ah, this was the student list I found. It seemed like the book Tyra Kanna was carrying was a student directory. I nodded and looked at the student list.
“I’ve written down a few unusual things, so it will be easy for you to get used to it.”
“Thank you. I think it would really be quite helpful.”
When I said thank you, he smiled again with his eyes wide open. What is this. You’re not flirting with me…
“But you got a tan?”
“They said that no matter how well-known I am, I need a little disguise. “They said I needed a tan, so I did as I was told.”
“Ah, I guess so. If someone enters this academy, we will investigate.”
Tyra Khanna asked me about my tan, so I explained my disguise. Tyra Kanna frowned slightly, as if she didn’t like the fact that I had a tan.
“Well, since today is the first day, I’ll go. If you need anything, please contact us here.”
Since they didn’t meet each other often and had nothing more to say, Tyra Kanna bowed her head slightly and left her training room.
Now that I think about it, it seems like the brief meeting I had today and the conversation I had had last longer than the time I had met and talked at my parents’ house. We didn’t talk much just now.
First, I looked at the note that Tyra Kanna showed me. Her handwriting was neat and cute. I registered the address on her phone and sent Tyra Kanna to her line. Tyra Kanna seemed to have been looking at her phone when she responded right away.
Taira Ryuta: Please take care of me in the future.
Tyra Kanna: Please take care of me too.
I put my phone in my pocket, sat down, and opened the student list that Tyra Kanna gave me.
The student list contained personal information such as grades up to that point and where the student was from. And only students in special classes were listed, and the reason why they were students in special classes was written.
The first thing I did was read the cause of Risa Minamoto.
-Repetition of grade due to insufficient attendance due to habitual absence.
What I knew was right. Let’s see. Other students… As I was trying to find out about other students, the extension phone in the education preparation room rang.
“Hello. “This is Ryuta Yamashiro, the homeroom teacher of the 3rd grade special class.”
-Mr. Yamashiro, this is Yuzuki Kasaoka, the third-year head teacher.
Kasaoka Yuzuki was a woman in her late thirties. She was a pretty nervous-looking woman, but she was also a pretty bad-looking married woman. She was a MILF who looked to be no older than her mid-teens, but she was already a third grade teacher. For reference, the subject she taught was math.
“Ah, yes, Mr. Yuzuki.”
-Some students contacted me saying they wanted to take Korean classes and change their current subjects. Didn’t Ms. Yamashiro force the students in her class to take her class?
His tone seemed to be very suspicious right now. No, why me? It’s clear that the more students there are, the more tired it will be.
“I didn’t force anything at all, but…”
-We’ll just have to wait and see. Please come to the teacher’s office and pick up a new attendance sheet before class tomorrow.
I hear the sound of the phone being hung up. It was completely polite for him to just say what he was saying and then hang up. Phew… Yes, there are villains wherever you go. Since I won’t see you often anyway, I’ll have to endure it.
But what about the students who asked to change to Korean classes? If you think about what Yuzuki Kasaoka said, it seems like a student in our class said he was changing classes… I can guess about Akina Konoe and Yuka Otagi, but I’m sure there are more, right?
With my head spinning, I decided to get up and leave work. The identity of the student who changed classes would need to be confirmed in class tomorrow.
