Trapped 9
“I was ready to jump in too if that guy is going to make trouble.”
“We’re at school now. Make sure you switch your attitude properly, Nishiki-kun.”
“Yes.”
I know. It’s probably just a needless worry.
Even so, given my position, I can’t help but worry.
I’ve hardly ever been in a real fistfight, but I’m prepared to clench my fists if it really cos down to it.
Not all people are reasonable.
There are those brazen enough to get angry in reverse and refuse to admit their own faults even when they’re clearly to bla.
If soone precious to is threatened, I’ll protect them with all my might.
“But thank you for worrying about .”
Her long hair swayed as she turned her back to enter the gym storage room.
“Ah, I knew it was just tossed aside carelessly.”
The basketball wasn’t in the basket but was rolling on the dusty floor.
Tenjō Sensei picked it up as if it was expected.
I also helped out and found another ball that had rolled to the back of the room.
“So, Sensei, what were you trying to talk about earlier?”
I fiddled with the ball I had picked up.
“Well… I guess we won’t be overheard by anyone here.”
Tenjō Reiyu relaxed her ‘teacher mode’ and let the friendly Onee-chan next door co to the surface.
“I’ve been a little worried about how you’ve been these past few days.”
“Except for last night, I’ve been sleeping properly at night.”
Well, I had overslept this morning because I went to bed at dawn, almost forgetting to give Akira her morning wake-up call.
So I ended up buying so food at the convenience store with Akira on the way since I left ho without breakfast.
Akira, as diligent as ever, treated to a chocolate today too.
“Right, sleep is important. But sohow, you seem to have a cloud over your expression.”
“Isn’t that just your imagination?”
“If that’s the case, then that’s fine… but I have a hunch that there’s sothing on your mind.”
Tenjō Sensei seed sowhat hesitant.
“You an about Kaguya? There’s nothing going on.”
“It doesn’t look that way to . If you have any worries, you should tell about it.”
“Should a high school teacher ddle in a student’s family affairs?”
“If it helps a student, then yes, I will do that.”
Tenjō Sensei was unwavering.
“A passionate teacher who really cares about her students, huh.”
“Nishiki-kun, you try to deflect the conversation with sarcasm when things get tough, don’t you?”
“I just have a sharp tongue.”
“The neighbor I relied on isn’t such a superficial man.”
Her words were so straightforward that she made feel embarrassed for being so evasive.
As I was searching for my next line, I heard footsteps and voices coming from outside the gym storage room.
“Soone’s coming!?”
“!? Hide!”
Tenjō Sensei pushed down onto the mat.
We end up collapsing on top of each other in the process.
We held our breath, trying to hide our presence, and stayed motionless.
She was close.
Looming over , Tenjō Sensei’s face is right before my eyes.
My face is reflected in her eyes.
No matter how many tis I see her and even from a distance where I can hear her breathing, Tenjō Reiyu is beautiful.
Suddenly, I rember a rainy evening when I had pushed Tenjō-san down onto the bed in her room.
Recalling my careless behavior at that ti, I hurriedly tried to move away.
“Don’t move!”
I receive a small rebuke in a whisper.
Tenjō Sensei’s arms were trembling.
If either of us moved carelessly, the noise would give us away.
Lying on my back, all I could do was stay still and be quiet underneath her.
It will definitely lead to a big misunderstanding if a situation where a teacher and a student are found on top of each other.
We absolutely could not be discovered.
At the sa ti, I realized a shocking fact.
“Lucky, Tenjō Sensei has already gone ho.”
“That was close. I actually forgot to lock the door.”
“She’ll blow up at us again if we get caught.”
“Let’s lock it up and leave quickly.”
Those Senpais Sensei had warned earlier seed to have returned to lock the door of the gym storage room.
But none of that mattered now.
I was intensely feeling the invisible force of gravity.
Sensei’s chest was resting on top of .
A large soft mass was pressing firmly against my chest.
My consciousness was involuntarily focused on my chest area.
Am I in heaven or hell right now?
I was desperately trying to maintain this precarious balance without making the slightest move.
But this position was too stimulating.
Sensei’s faint warm breath, the skin-to-skin contact, the sweet feminine scent, and the astonishing weight I could feel on my chest.
This is bad. I vividly feel the destructive power of physical contact.
My reason was rapidly being eroded, and my instincts were about to erupt like magma.
“Can I co out now?”
“Endure it. I’m reaching my limit too.”
“But it’s an ergency.”
“Just a little longer.”
“I can’t.”
“How will you explain it if you co out now?”
“It was an accident.”
“Do you think that will work?”
“If Tenjō-san hadn’t pushed down….”
“I panicked, so it couldn’t be helped!”
A loud locking sound was heard as we argued in whispers.
When the presence in front of the door faded away, Tenjō Sensei cautiously got up.
“Phew, glad we weren’t discovered.”
“I was about to lose it.”
I quickly sat down in a crouch position.
That was close.
“Nishiki-kun, why do you look so gloomy?”
“Don’t mind . More importantly, we’ve been locked in the gym storage room.”
“…What should we do now?”
Tenjō Sensei’s face turned pale.
“Why did you hide in the first place? There wouldn’t have been a problem if you had just acted normally like you wanted to put away the balls.”
“B-but it was so sudden. I thought it would be bad if we were found together… sorry.”
This person makes strange mistakes when she panics.
