"Teacher Shinomiya".
"Yes, her piano playing is harmony, so naturally she can't be absent."
“Hmm:” Eri Kanzaki’s expression clearly became worried.
Looking at her pretty little face, Kitahara Hakuba couldn't help but step forward, squat down, and say:
"Eri, I won't let Shinomiya know about our relationship, but even if he does, I won't give up on you easily. However, I'm also unwilling to give up on her."
"You like her more." Kanzaki Eri gently bit her lower lip, as if to relieve her inner turmoil, her legs pressed tightly together under her skirt.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you."
Kitahara Hakuba looked directly into her eyes and said, "Eri, I've already been despicable, but I want to try to be an honest person. If you want to back out now, it's not too late. I won't complain about anything."
Kanzaki Eri's legs, which had been pressed together, suddenly opened slowly, revealing a light-colored shadow beneath the girl's skirt.
She shook her head, raised her finger as if touching a creature that might run away at any moment, and gently tapped Kitahara Hakuba's pert nose:
"I also want to become honest."
I will love you for the rest of my life.
An indescribable warmth welled up in Kitahara Hakuba's heart, and he couldn't help but smile.
But before she could linger in this blissful moment, he stood up and said:
"Although there's still some time before the morning meeting, it's better to go home early."
"kindness."
Seeing her obediently nod, her well-behaved appearance made one want to hug her and comfort her.
"and many more
Kitahara Hakuba walked to the door first, making sure there was no one on either side, and that there were no security cameras in the classroom, and that the curtains were completely blocked so that not a single ray of light could get in.
Value Partners—
He strode forward and, in just over ten seconds, in this empty classroom at Shenxu High School, carried out the wicked thoughts that had been swirling in his mind.
But before he completely abandons his identity, kissing is not on Kitahara Hakuba's list of actions; at most, it's just touching.
The ends of his hair made his forehead itchy, and his bangs looked like they were about to blend in.
Finally, Kitahara Hakuba ruffled Kanzaki Eri's hair and said:
"Let's go?"
"kindness."
The girl, her face finally flushed slightly, straightened her pleated skirt and followed him out of the empty classroom.
"It's confirmed! On the night of Christmas Eve, our wind band will start the 'Mysterious Santa' activity!"
During lunch break, in the first music room, Sayaka Sumiya waved her hand and decided on an activity for her servant.
"Oh oh oh!" Kami Takahashi cheered from the side.
Kana Eto asked curiously, "Kami, what is a mysterious Santa Claus?"
In order to finalize the details of the gathering, she specifically invited Sakurako Yuuki and Sayaka Hanamatsu to discuss it.
"I don't know."
"Then why are you yelling like that?!"
Takahashi Kami laughed and said, "Since it was said by Hanmatsu-senpai, it must be really fun!"
"We played this in our first year of high school, and it was quite fun."
Sakurako, resting her chin on her hands, said, “The core of the game is ‘anonymous gifts.’ Each shoe has to draw a slip of paper, and the name on it is the recipient of your gift this Christmas. This is a secret, and each shoe must strictly adhere to this rule. Then, on Christmas Day, you go to find your name, open your gift box, and confirm it. Of course, the shoe you give the gift to must remain a mystery.”
Sayaka Satsuki, who was standing to the side, blinked and said:
"But when we were in our first year of high school, if we drew a card, we'd immediately tell each other, without any 'interference'."
"Oh, I see."
Kana Eto thought this looked fun, and her body tensed up like a spring, saying, "Let's play this then? It looks really interesting! How do we control the amount?"
"It can't be too expensive or too cheap, otherwise it's easy to feel psychologically unbalanced."
Shoya, the seller, held up her hand and said, "How about setting a limit of one thousand? Everyone should be able to accept that. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the gift, you can choose not to accept it and take it away for one thousand."
"That must be really tough on Santa Claus, the guy who delivers presents," Yukami Sakurako couldn't help but complain.
Sayaka Satsuki's smile grew increasingly wicked as she rested her hand on her chin, saying, "Since you've suggested a party, I should repay you. Oh, and let's play another game, 'Christmas Thief'!"
Right? "
Chapter 405, Question 404: Are you feeling quite smug right now?
"A Christmas thief? What's that?" Yukawa Sakurako had never heard of such a thing.
Sayaka Akamatsu crossed her arms, chuckled twice, and said, "It means we can 'swap' gifts and change the name tags."
Sakurako Yukawa said dejectedly:
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: Taiwan, China → ?]
"Wait a minute, wouldn't that make things very confusing? In the end, no one would know who sent it."
"That's what makes it fun. Nobody knows whose gift they received or who they gave their gift to. Is Santa Claus going to pop up at the end and say his name?"
“Saint Nicholas,” said Sakurako Yukawa.
Akamatsu Sayaka reached out and fiddled with her three-strand braid, saying:
"He doesn't care about his studies, but he knows a lot about strange and unusual things."
Kana Eto held her head in her hands and said with difficulty:
"I don't think this is a good idea. I feel like it might cause conflict with thieves and such."
"How could there be any conflict? I think it's quite fun, Kana, don't worry."
Kami Takahashi, however, unconditionally supported Sayaka Akamatsu's opinion, raising her hands high and saying, "Then let's pass on this idea today! We've been thinking about gift selection for days!"
"Does Kitahara-sensei want some too?" Kana Eto asked.
"It's more accurate to say that it's fun because Kitahara-sensei is there."
Sayaka Akamatsu said with a mocking expression, "He listens to everyone's opinions so much, he definitely won't refuse."
"Hmm..." Kana Eto was speechless; she felt something was amiss.
All the senior students from the third year participated this time, and among the students who admire Professor Kitahara, the senior students from the third year were the most numerous. What if they start scrambling for them?
"Anyway, if anything goes wrong, I won't take responsibility, okay?" Kana Eto pouted slightly.
Sayaka Akamatsu, her hands holding flowers, rested on her chin and blinked rapidly as she said:
"Are you already trying to shirk responsibility?"
Seeing her affected and pretentious manner, Kana Eto said helplessly:
"But this wasn't my idea, and it's too easy for this to cause conflict."
"It's alright, the upperclassmen are more patient than you think," Akamatsu Sayaka said with a smile.
Sakurako Yukawa stared at her blankly and said, "Huh? You can?"
"No way?"
Sayaka Akamatsu crossed her legs, the hem of her pleated skirt forming a soft arc along her thighs, highlighting the clearly defined muscles. "If everyone doesn't hold back, we might not have a chance to win the gold medal at this year's National Championships."
"It's not that serious, is it?" Sakurako Yukawa said with a smile.
"Don't underestimate a girl's ability to give up and do whatever she wants."
Sayaka Akamatsu raised her finger and gently tapped Sakurako Yukawa's nose, saying, "Especially those girls in the club who have absolute strength. Although I personally have great faith in Kitahara-sensei's abilities, I don't believe he could bring a student to the same level just days before the tournament. Wait, Sakurako, why do you have a strawberry nose?"
"Huh? Really?" Sakurako Yukawa tilted her head back, poked her nose, and said, "It must be because the weather is too cold."
"clown."
""
Kana Eto swallowed hard and grinned.
"Senior, how about having Department Head Yukawa deliver that gift for Kitahara-sensei?"
"Misunderstanding? Me?" Sakurako Yukawa was stunned for a moment.
"I think it would be better to have Minister Yukawa deliver it; I'm not entirely comfortable with anyone else."
As she spoke, Kana Eto tilted her head to the side as if to ease the awkwardness, then pulled it back just before she fell. "Then, Kitahara-sensei also gave it to Minister Yukawa, a perfect balance."
Kana Eto doesn't want to see the girls in the brass band "fighting each other" over Kitahara-sensei's only gift.
I don't want this conflict to linger in the brass band after Kitahara-sensei's departure, as it won't do anything to improve the club's atmosphere.
"No, no, no, how can you do that!"
Sakurako Yukawa had never shaken her head so fast before; her three braids almost hit Sayaka Akamatsu's face. "What have I done to deserve being swapped with Kitahara-sensei? Let's just make it a lottery!"
Sakurako Yukawa felt that she was not even in the top tier. The most conspicuous one was Amatsu, who was definitely more eager to receive Kitahara-sensei's gift than she was, and was also quite hardworking.
Although she felt a little regretful, making others happy was also something that made her happy.
"Hey, stop with the nonsense. We're all the same. Why should Kitahara-sensei be treated differently?"
Sayaka Akamatsu waved her hand and said, "Those who want gifts will be willing to steal, and those who don't want gifts won't even move. Don't force anyone to do it; just go with the flow."
"Senior Akamatsu"
Kana Eto's shoulders slumped slightly in disappointment. The game did sound interesting, but from her perspective as the club president, everyone's friendship might change because of it.
From a certain perspective, Akamatsu-senpai's actions are a blatant display of affection, a "thief" who has won Kitahara-sensei's heart. How will everyone view this "thief"? Is it really fair to this "thief"?
But Kana Eto kept trying to explain to herself: Amemori-senpai's feelings for Kitahara-sensei were obvious, yet everyone accepted it. Why was that?
It probably won't have a big impact; you're just worrying too much.
“Okay,” Kana Eto nodded.
