Chapter 414 – Episode 46. The Burden of Being a Teacher Is Not Unusual.
After the second period, I listened to the stories of Akina Konoe, Yuka Otagi, and Diana Saionji, and found that there was nothing special about Kirie Kurayamada’s Japanese classics class in the second period.
She said that originally, the teacher in charge of Japanese classics came and taught her class, showing it to Kirie Kurayamada and telling her to do better next time.
Since it was her first day today, I thought she didn’t want to do any activities. And on the first day, during lunchtime, she took Jurie Kijimoto to the school cafeteria and had lunch together.
In fact, according to Saionji Diana’s testimony, Kirie Kurayamada was also a graduate of St. Francis Girls’ Academy, so she would eat lunch on her own even if we didn’t take her with her, but we didn’t want to openly bully her, so we decided to have lunch together.
After lunch, Kirie Kurayamada and I were together in the training room for the afternoon, and Kirie Kurayamada looked at me with her signature glaring look and a grinning look.
He wasn’t actually smirking, but it felt like that, so I couldn’t say anything, so I had no choice but to do my work while receiving uncomfortable looks.
I had been comfortably alone all along, but now that I was in the same room with a new person who was targeting me from a different faction, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable. Although Kirie Kurayamada is a very attractive woman, she is still uncomfortable.
After working quietly until class ended, I took Kirie Kurayamada to the classroom and bowed. The ceremonial ceremony ended without incident and I opened my mouth to Kirie Kurayamada.
“Kurayamada-san, there is no such thing as being a club advisor… If she doesn’t have any work left, she can leave work right away.”
“Yes, then let’s go first.”
When she heard that she could leave work, Kirie Kurayamada bowed her head and left work right away. Today is Friday, so I won’t be able to see you until two days after the weekend.
Then, I’ll have to dig up some information about Kirie Kurayamada over the weekend. I can’t continue to be this uncomfortable, so I have to either kick them out or make them on my side.
“Ryuu… !”
I was thinking about digging into Kirie Kurayamada, and Alric was waiting for me at the entrance to her training room.
When Kirie Kurayamada heard that she was from Cheongshimgwan, she tried to go to Cheongshimgwan to find out. She had promised to go with Alik to Cheongshimgwan every day after school, so Alik packed his bag and went straight to the training room.
“Shall we go?”
“… Yes!”
Cheongshimgwan is a 5-minute walk away, so it’s not that far away, but Alek’s face was flushed, as if he was very happy to go to Cheongsimgwan with me. Alrik stood next to me and walked with me holding my sleeve.
If it were any other student, there would have been rumors of something strange(?), But it was okay because Alrik was like a cute mascot among students at Cheongshimgwan and school beyond the special class.
“Is Mr. Shimokawabe teaching you well these days?”
“Yes, swordsmanship is fun… !”
Alric smiled slightly as he waved his hand around, mimicking the swing of his sword. At some point, I’ll have to take a closer look at Alric’s abilities through the glasses of the ruins. He kept forgetting. I was curious whether Alric had the same characteristics as the mid-boss in the game.
Alric’s level is not yet high enough to be a mid-boss, so he may not have all the characteristics, but he will definitely have good characteristics.
As I walked and talked with Alrik, I arrived at Cheongshimgwan. When we arrived at Cheongshimgwan, some students who came first welcomed us.
Of course, Alrik welcomed me because we were members of the same club, and I used to stop by Cheongshimgwan from time to time, so the students pretended to know me.
“Mr. Yamashiro, hello~!”
The student who greeted me most warmly was Neiko Nishiike, the current manager of Cheongshikwan. She is said to have been a student when Diana Saionji was the vice president, and when Diana Saionji lost her limbs in an accident, and she left the Cheongshinkan, she automatically became the director. According to Saionji Diana, Neiko Nishiike said that she was a master of dual swords and that she had skills comparable to Saionji Diana.
Since Cheongshimgwan was a fairly large club with several members from each grade starting from middle school, there was a manager for each grade, and the third-year-high school manager became the club manager for Cheongshimgwan. Most likely, next year’s Cheongshimgwan manager will be the current second-year high school manager.
“Ryuta-kun, it’s been a while.”
The inner door of Cheongshimgwan opened and Airen Shimokawabe, wearing a uniform, came out and welcomed me. She had contacted me in advance to say she would come, so Shimokawa Beiren was not surprised, and she was waiting for me.
“I have something to ask you for a moment.”
“Then come in. “Everyone else, please warm up on your own while the teachers talk.”
Following Airen Shimokawabe, I entered the reception room inside the Cheongshinkan. As I sat down, Shimokawa Beiren served tea and refreshments very skillfully, probably because she was the home teacher.
“This is a Japanese confectionery I made while teaching students today. “Try it.”
“Oh, I will eat well.”
Since I ate quite a bit of Japanese confectionery at my Taira family, I also had some knowledge of it. He was also qualified to teach the daughters of a famous family. The Japanese sweets and tea served by Shimokawabe Airen were quite delicious. As she enjoys tea and Japanese sweets for a while, Shimokawa Beiren asks her what’s going on.
“But I have a question… ?”
“Today, Teacher Bugam came to our class as an educational intern…”
Shimokawa Beiren is the one who knows that I am Taira Ryu, so she did not hide it, and she told me what happened today. After hearing what I said, Shimokawa Beairen nodded her head.
“You came because you wanted to get information from a teacher named Kirie Kurayamada. If I were to come here as a student now, I would be in my senior year of college… She must have been the head of Cheongshimgwan five years ago. I’m not sure because I wasn’t here at that time. Would you like to at least see a picture?”
Five years ago, Airen Shimokawabe would have been a college student, so he would not have known Kirie Kurayamada.
“Yes, let’s at least look at the picture.”
“Here.”
What Shimokawa Beiren brought with her was her small laptop. The Cheongshimgwan Internet site was floating on the screen, and I thought that popular clubs had their own sites. I heard that most of the clubs at St. Francis Girls’ Academy have their own homepages, as it would not be difficult to maintain the site with the club donations that come in every year.
For reference, the dating experience section has a 100% chance of ending up in our university, so I didn’t think there was a need to create a separate site, so I just didn’t create one.
On the Cheongshimgwan website, there were introductions of past advisors and past managers, and of course there were free bulletin boards and suggestion bulletin boards. Since I came here to see the introduction of past managers, I immediately clicked on the bulletin board introducing previous managers.
After turning the page a few times, I saw Kirie Kurayamada. She was wearing the uniform of St. Francis Girls’ Academy and smiling softly. She definitely looks very fresh, probably because she’s a high school student. Perhaps because her hair was shorter than it is now, she felt completely different.
◆Kirie Kurayamada.
Shincheongeomhyeong style training.
2045 Koryu Swordsmanship Competition Excellence Award.
2047 All Japan Swordsmanship Competition Grand Prize.
There was no specific explanation. As expected from a Goryu martial arts club site, it only contained information about martial arts learned and competition awards won while attending St. Francis Girls’ Academy. But what happened in college that changed your impression like this? I was innocent at the time, but now I feel like I’m going to prey on some guy.
“I only have this much information. Shall we contact the former Cheongsimgwan advisor?”
“No, I don’t think what happened in high school will affect me now.”
Looking at the photo of her smiling innocently, I didn’t think there was any need to delve into Kirie Kurayamada’s past. Since I don’t think I’ve been planning anything since I was in high school, I think it would be a better choice to investigate the Kurayamada family now.
“Alic is doing well?”
After finishing researching Kirie Kurayamada, I politely asked about Alric. Shimokawabe Airen smiled and answered my question as if she had been waiting for it.
“Alik will become a truly excellent swordsman. “His skills rise quickly, so within a month or two, he will be able to become the second strongest in all of Cheongsim Hall.”
Second time? Was there a student in Cheongshimgwan who could overcome Alrik’s incredible talent?
“Who is first?”
Out of curiosity and greed for talent, I asked Shimokawa Beiren to be the first of the Cheongshimgwan. Shimokawa Beiren looked at me with her narrow eyes. She smiled, and then she pointed to herself.
“I am the second person in all of Cheongshimgwan.”
“Ah… !”
It was a pun. In the end, it was Airen Shimokawabe’s prediction that within a month or two, none of the students at Cheongshimgwan would follow Alric. No matter how talented Alric is, he will not be able to catch up with Airen Shimokawabe in a short period of time.
“The other students were working hard to not catch up with Alrik, so the atmosphere got a lot better when Alrik came.”
“I’m glad you’re adjusting well. I’ll just go now. “It’s also not polite to sit for too long.”
I saw Kirie Kurayamada’s past and knew that Alric was doing well. I thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to sit here and interfere with Airen Shimokawabe teaching the students, so I stood up.
“I heard that Ryuta-kun is sponsoring Alrik to learn swordsmanship. “What did Ryuta-kun seek for a swordsmanship teacher to use Alric for?”
Shimokawa Beiren asked a question as she looked at me standing awkwardly with her deep eyes. She was about to answer falsely, but when she saw Shimokawa Beairen’s eyes that seemed to see through everything, she decided to answer truthfully.
“I want to use Alrik as my sword in the future fight.”
“That fight will be very rough, right?”
“Maybe.”
I thought he asked because he was worried about Alric, but strangely enough, it was Airen Shimokawabe who looked very satisfied with my answer. Shouldn’t you be angry if you put your student in danger? Seeing my puzzled gaze, Shimokawa Beiren smiled and opened her mouth.
“Prosecutors need practical experience. Alic is a blessed friend.”
Rather, I feel blessed to have been able to experience real combat… As expected, the three swordsmen of the future thought differently from ordinary people.
