Chapter 17
The Beautiful Transfer Student Seems Happy When Our Eyes Meet
TL: PuffyPyjamas .

“Oh~ You managed to complete it, not too bad . ”
When Akira handed in his six-times increased homework, Miyu-sensei received it with an impressed expression . We did manage to complete the work prior to Miyu-sensei’s arrival, but my right hand is killing me right now . It’s natural for my right hand to hurt since I copied the homework with all my might .
However, considering Miyu-sensei’s reaction, I don’t think it was necessary for Akira to do six-times the homework . Well, if I think about it normally, nobody would be able to complete six-times as much work . The person who issued all that homework, Miyu-sensei, is super scary, so you can’t help but follow through with it .
There should not be any other problems unless Akira says anything unnecessary .
…Hmm? While I was watching Miyu-sensei and Akira, I felt a gaze on my back . When I turned back, Charlotte was looking at me for some reason .
“!”
When my eyes met hers, Charlotte smiled happily and waved her hand so that no other students would notice it . What should I do? It’s so cute of her to happily wave her hand at me when each other .
I almost waved back with my hand but I managed to stop myself at just the right moment . I decided that I wouldn’t be involved with her at school . I don’t know if someone’s watching me, and I can’t really pass it off if something does happen .

Well, Charlotte will be more at risk than me if we’re found out . However, it seems that she’s not conscious of that fact . Although she was waving in a way that nobody else could see her hand, I would prefer if she’d stop doing that since she’s popular and draws too much attention .
…I was very happy to see Charlotte wave her hand at me though .
“—I did it, Akito! It’s quite unusual for Miyu-sensei to praise me!”
Akira delightfully spoke to me while I was thinking about Charlotte . I think he is glad that he was praised just because Miyu-sensei is always angry at him .
“I am happy for you . ”
“Ah, but it’s mostly thanks to you . Are you really okay with me taking credit for all of it?”
“Of course . Miyu-sensei would be angry if she found out the truth . ”
It wouldn’t be much of a problem if I just told Akira the answers to the questions . However, I wrote the answers onto the printout for him .
Although I tried my best to make my handwriting resemble Akira’s as much as I possibly could, I feel like I will get caught if Miyu-sensei is the one looking over the homework . If you underestimate that person’s wild instinct, you will surely suffer .
“Now then, the next class is about to start, but… Aoyagi, come with me for a little bit . ”

“Eh…?”
For some reason, Miyu-sensei called out to me . What is it?
“Hurry up can come . Make sure you guys keep quiet until the teacher for the next subject arrives . ”
Miyu-sensei left the class after saying these parting words . I don’t know what’s happening, but I quickly followed . If I were to ignore her, the aftermath would be way too scary .
While I was leaving the classroom, I met Charlotte’s eyes, which were looking at me with worry . Charlotte is a really kind person for worrying about me . However, this is Miyu-sensei we are talking about . She’ll just make me do chores or something .
“What happened?”
Immediately after leaving the class, I asked Miyu-sensei, who was waiting for me . Then, Miyu-sensei sighed while holding up the homework papers that Akira submitted earlier .
“Even if you wanted to cover for Akira, this is overdoing it, right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t play dumb with me, I know you helped with this homework . ”
Miyu-sensei gazes at my face . Seriously, I was found out just like that…?

“Geez… Your imitation of Akira’s handwriting was quite good… I couldn’t tell at first glance . However, there are traces of modification and rewriting up to the second set . Whereas, there are no traces of rewriting after the third set . Isn’t that weird?”
Miyu-sensei looked at my face after heaving a sigh . One might say that it’s normal to rewrite it, but what Miyu-sensei is referring to is something a little different .
The second set is probably double the amount of homework that Akira has done . The parts where she pointed out the modifications are the parts where Akira’s answers were incorrect and I instructed him to correct them .
If it was only the first set, it would be reasonable if you searched for the answer and rewrote it . However, there shouldn’t be any rewriting in any of the next sets as it would just be copying the first . If there were any mistakes, there wouldn’t be very many . Despite that, the second set was corrected in the same exact places as the first set . We were found out because of that . .
If it was all the same for all six sets, then it may not have been noticed . I naturally noticed this risk, but I feigned ignorance since I had no time . I prayed that Miyu-sensei would overlook it, but it seems that such a convenient story-like development wouldn’t happen .
“Sorry…”
Since I have already been busted, I’ll just apologize obediently . It’s better to apologize to this woman than to make excuses . She is one to easily spot a lie .
“Hey, Aoyagi . I completely understand why you’re soft on Saionji . However, this is too much . If you spoil him too much, he will soon turn into a useless person . ”
Miyu-sensei kindly explained, as if coaxing a child . It seems she wasn’t angry, she just wanted me to be careful .
“Yes, I am sorry…”
“I know you are . I’ll overlook this matter for the time being, but there is no next time, okay?”
“Yes, I understand . ”
When I nodded, Miyu-sensei smiled kindly at me . The reason why she didn’t mention this inside the class was probably in consideration of my situation . As always, she is a good teacher . I am grateful for being placed in Miyu-sensei’s class .
“—Oh, yeah . There was one other thing . ”
“What?”
As I was leaving to return to class, Miyu-sensei stopped me . When I looked back in wonderment, what I saw was Miyu-sensei standing there with a perfect smile on her face . I really do think that this woman would be extremely beautiful if she was silent .
I thought of such a rude thing, but I focused on maintaining my poker face so that it wouldn’t be noticed by the sharp Miyu-sensei . However, my indifferent expression was immediately destroyed .
The reason being—
“I overlooked the thing with the homework… But being abandoned yesterday is another thing all together . ”
—Because there were blue lines forming on the smiling Miyu-sensei’s forehead .
