Chapter 418 – Episode 47. Intimidation, Intimidation, Intimidation and Ritual.
I went to school in the morning, wondering how Madikirie Kurayama would turn out, and Kirie Kurayama came just before the morning assembly started with dark circles on her face. What did she do at night to look so tired?
“Mr. Kurayamada, please still come to work 30 minutes before morning breakfast.”
“Sorry… “I do.”
No matter how much he threatens me, I have to say that he was wrong. I immediately took Kirie Kurayamada, who had gone to work, to her special class classroom.
After entering the special class, I realized that today was a rare day when all the students went to school. The idol Karen Uenozono and the sickly girl Shiyo Naruse were in attendance, and there were no students like Rena Sakagami who did not attend due to sudden unforeseen circumstances. I looked around at the students and said hello.
“Did everyone have a good weekend?”
“Yes~!”
“I’ve been to Tokyo!”
“I wasn’t able to send you off because I was sick… !”
The classroom became as noisy as a market as everyone answered my questions and talked about what happened over the weekend. Perhaps Shii Seizawa and Risa Minamoto came back from Tokyo to play, and Shiyo Naruse was not feeling well over the weekend.
“If Naruse is very sick, she should go to Mr. Kijimoto and lie down in the nurse’s office or leave school early and go home. And Uenozono and Sakagami haven’t seen Mr. Kurayamada, right? Since you are our class teacher who took office last Friday, I want you to know…”
I introduced him to Karen Uenozono and Rena Sakagami, who didn’t know his face because he didn’t come on Friday. Karen Uenozono greeted cheerfully with her idol-like fresh attitude, while Rena Sakagami greeted her with a curt bow of her head.
I don’t know if she behaved that way because she could not look at me in a positive light because she threatened me, her lord, or because she was blunt to begin with, but Rena Sakagami did not show much hostility toward Kirie Kurayamada after greeting her like a ninja.
“There are about 15 days left until the exam period, so let’s work hard now so that no student in our class receives a failing grade.”
“To? How long has it been since school started and there are already exams? Ryu Tachi is too much!”
“Okay! “Isn’t time too fast?”
Seizawa Shii and Kujo Kinaga, who clearly don’t look like they’ll be studying hard, responded to my declaration of the exam period. They booed while doing so.
“The exam period is determined by the school, so don’t say anything to me. Anyway, if you get caught on the extra test, I’ll make you study extra late at night, so let’s work hard and not fail.”
St. Francis Girls’ Academy required students who received a failing score of 40 points or fewer to take an additional test, and if they did not pass the additional test, they were contacted at home and ordered to take additional online classes, so almost no student failed the additional test. In the first place, there were very few students who received failing grades as it was an honor for most students from prestigious families.
“Are you really staying up late at night alone?”
Akina Konoe raised her hand and asked me, her red eyes sparkling. Seeing that she emphasizes the word alone, I somehow imagine that she intentionally gets a failing grade and is alone with me for a long time… We can’t leave it like that.
“If you intentionally fail, your teacher will be really disappointed. And um… From first to sixth, the teacher will give her gifts.”
She said she would give her a gift because she thought she would work hard because if she got to 6th place, half of the class of 13 would receive a gift, but she didn’t think about what to give.
“Ryu Tachi, what kind of gift is this?!”
“ㅅ, ㅅ, three, a gift?”
“Ryuta, I’m having a hard time getting 6th grade…”
At the word “Gift,” The class suddenly became very noisy, like a concert hall. Most of the students were wondering if they were confident of getting into 6th place or what kind of gift it was, and the few students who were not confident about the exam, like Alrik, looked very depressed. In particular, Alrik was a student who entered his third year of high school after being incarcerated for several years, so it would have been difficult for him to get a failing grade.
“Actually, I haven’t really thought about a gift, but… If it’s within 20,000 yen, I’ll buy it for you. Since everyone wants something different, it would be better to set a price range.”
In fact, most of the girls here are in the top 0.1% of students in Japan, so some of them probably have 20,000 yen as their daily allowance. Probably Risa Minamoto and Shii Seizawa are children for whom pocket money is meaningless. Perhaps you have lived your whole life without worrying about money?
Still, I thought it would be meaningful if it was a gift from a teacher, so I set my sights on gifts worth less than 20,000 yen.
“Ryuutachi! “You’re not just giving me money, you’re going with me to buy a gift, right?”
“Of course. “If you just give money, it’s not a gift, it’s a prize.”
Seiza and Shii raised their hands and asked. Since the gift I gave was actually a date, the class became more noisy than before.
Actually, this is one of the things I was aiming for. Since my target, Risa Minamoto, doesn’t really have much of a connection with me, I say she buys me a gift, and she goes on a one-on-one date.
Risa Minamoto says what will she do if she falls below 6th place, but she is still a paid student, so she must have taken the class twice. How could she fall below 6th place? That was my thought.
Last year, too, the number of days of attendance was extremely low, but the grades themselves weren’t bad. Looking at her grades compared to attendance, Risa Minamoto was what most parents would say was a student who was smart but didn’t work hard.
“Even if you don’t make it to the top 6, I will pick one student whose grades have improved significantly compared to the previous semester and give them a gift, so don’t give up even if your grades are low.”
When we talk about compensation for students in the bottom tier, several students who are not confident breathe a sigh of relief. Since students who were not eligible to win the gift(?) Could have completely given up on studying, it was also talking about welfare(?) For students with high grades.
“Good. There’s only less than 15 days left, so work hard… This is the end of this morning’s ordinance. Do you have any suggestions?”
“8th place… No, increase it to 9th place, teacher!!”
“Nothing? Listen carefully to class~!”
After hearing Kina Kujo’s ridiculous suggestion, I left the class with Kirie Kurayamada. When I thought about it and wondered if I should give Kirie Kurayamada time to speak, I heard Kirie Kurayamada’s voice from behind.
“You seem quite sincere in your ‘role’ as a teacher.”
“First, let’s go into the training preparation room and talk.”
It seemed like the threats had finally begun. Since it was still in the middle of the hallway, students could hear it, so I went straight into the education preparation room. Kirie Kurayamada followed me into the training preparation room without saying anything else.
“What did you just say, Mr. Kurayamada?”
I spoke in a pretentious tone, but Kirie Kurayamada was looking at me without any change in expression.
“If you’ve read my letter, you would know. Why did you come from the Tyra Group to St. Francis Girls’ Academy?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
When I once again pretend not to notice, Kirie Kurayamada laughs. She seemed confident because she thought she had already figured out her weakness.
“Then, can I tell everyone that you are from the Tyra Group Human Resources Development Center? “Whether it’s the special class classroom, the teacher’s office, or the board of directors of St. Francis Girls’ Academy.”
Kirie Kurayamada certainly came after receiving a gift from Toyota Kappa of the Daigo family, and she talked about the board of directors without mentioning Terue Daigo, the academy director of the Tadanori faction who was looking after me. It was said that she was well aware of the power dynamics within the academy. And it seemed like she definitely knew my identity, seeing as the story even reached the Human Resources Development Center.
“Students will be quite disappointed if they find out that you are in the same line as your former homeroom teacher who had a major accident.”
Since I had already decided that there was nothing I could do, I spoke informally to Toyota Kappa, who had been sent by Kirie Kurayamada, who was in charge of my department, about the relationship.
“I don’t know what that means. It’s obvious that you’re from the Tyra group, but… It’s a relationship with my former homeroom teacher… “I don’t know anything about it.”
It is certainly an irrefutable fact that I was in Tyra’s group. Even if Kirie Kurayamada holds just one photo of me, she will have no excuse. However, because her late teaching trainee, Kirie Kurayamada, had no basis for the claim that the Daigo family’s Toyota was a faction, she was only confident that Kirie Kurayamada was a faction.
“Ha…”
I sighed and raised both hands as if I had lost.
“Yes, I lost. “What do you want?”
Actually, I honestly didn’t think I lost.
If Kirie Kurayamada had really trapped me into a trap I couldn’t escape from and made unreasonable demands, I could have threatened Rena Sakagami with my weakness that she would come after school, and then I could have won by force and then fed her to jellyfish. As long as there was no proof that I killed her, Kirie Kurayamada wasn’t very worried because she would become the protagonist of a mysterious disappearance case.
“You are obeying me.”
“Obey? All you have to do is call this a failure and return to work. “I have no intention of doing anything like submission.”
I had no intention of submitting to this level of weakness. In fact, he had no intention of submitting in any case, but Kirie Kurayamada set too unreasonable conditions. Kirie Kurayamada bit her lip and glared at me because she thought her threat wasn’t going as she expected.
“Great. I think obedience is too much. “I’ll be satisfied as long as you follow my instructions while I’m here.”
How is that any different from submission, bitch? I looked at her with a puzzled look, but when I didn’t say anything to Kirie Kurayamada, she seemed to think that her conditions had been accepted and smiled in triumph. She smiled with eyes full of joy. I don’t know why you’re looking at me like that, but it’s a bit scary.
“I know you don’t have any work to do right now, so please follow me.”
Kirie Kurayamada leaves the training preparation room without listening to my answer. By this point, she was curious about what she was going to do, so she decided to follow.
“At St. Francis Girls’ Academy, there is a warehouse that only some students and management staff know about. “It is the 5th warehouse.”
Kirie Kurayamada left the special class building, walked ahead to a deserted place, and started talking without being asked. Um, warehouse 5… This is my first time hearing about this place too. Surely the 4th warehouse wasn’t the end?
“A few years ago, as the GYM craze spread, we purchased many muscle training equipment from academies, but it was cumbersome to move it from gym class to gym class, so we ended up putting it all in a new warehouse. Even in physical education classes, classes were focused on sports rather than muscle training, so the warehouse I never visit now is warehouse 5. “Except for the maintenance team that visits every few weeks to clean, no one comes.”
Ah, there was such a secret warehouse at this school… But even if Kirie Kurayamada is from this academy, how does she know this?
After walking for a few minutes while listening to Kirie Kurayamada’s story, I saw a white one-story warehouse building in the middle of the forest behind the academy. Kirie Kurayamada casually used her card key and opened the door to her warehouse.
There was nothing special inside the warehouse except for a slight smell of dust. Just as Kirie Kurayamada said, there were a lot of muscle training machines lined up. I haven’t been to the gym in a while because it’s too far away and annoying, so I think it would be nice to put a few of these behind the special class building… I have to talk to Terue Daigo.
Slam!
The door to the warehouse closed, and Kirie Kurayamada was looking at me with a slightly bewitching look.
