Chapter 103
Gifts and Airheadedness
The time was around 8 PM . I stole a peek from outside the staff room and witnessed Hiiragi-chan working overtime .
“It’s already this late… This work is just not ending… The end doesn’t seem to be approaching any time soon…”
Hiiragi-chan took a glance at the clock and turned teary-eyed . Having to do work overtime for money is quite rough, but working until 8 is still considered cute . There were still a few teachers around, but they were gathering their things and preparing to depart .
It seems that Hiiragi-chan has been left in isolation . It was just her in the staff room . Hiiragi-chan was fidgeting around . Being alone in a place where normally other people are present ends up making you nervous . I get it .
I knocked on the window . Hiiragi-chan jumped up while being surprised .
“Fuhyaah!? …? Huh? Seiji-kun?”
With a puzzled expression she came over and unlocked the door .
“Good work . ”
“What are you doing? Shouldn’t you have returned for the day…?”
“I just thought that you were working really hard . So here, a gift . ”
I handed Hiiragi-chan a bag that contained a box of cookies from a pastry shop .
“Thank you . I’ll do my best . ”
It wasn’t that big of a deal, but she seemed pretty moved .
“Then, good luck . ”
As I was leaving, my clothes were grabbed . Half of her upper body was hanging out of the window . It felt like she was being a bit stubborn .

“Wait… I’ll make some tea…”
“No, but what about work?”
“Break . I’m just taking a bit of a break . ”
Like this, it doesn’t seem like she’ll let go, and I’ll only end up dragging her out of the staff room .
“Just for a little bit, okay?”
“Eheheh . Yay! …Also, can you help me? I-I’m about to fall . ”
I could see Hiiragi-chan’s legs flailing about behind her .
“Yes, yes . ”
While holding onto her upper body, I returned Hiiragi-chan inside . Taking that chance, she kissed me on the cheek .
“Ah, hey . ”
“Teeheehee…”
Hiiragi-chan turned around happily as she made her way to the staff kitchen . She was now in such a good mood, that it seemed like she was skipping .
I secretly entered the staff room, the door of which wasn’t closed .
“Excuse me . ”
As I made an appropriate greeting and entered, Hiiragi-chan was in the staff kitchen tilting her head while comparing the different brands of coffee .

“Which one is better…?”
I don’t really care about the brand of coffee so anything should be fine, but Hiiragi-chan was muttering to herself looking while she had a bunch of question marks above her head .
“What is available?”
I entered the staff kitchen and checked .
“The one that’s placed here should be one of the other teacher’s coffee, but leaving it here implies that anyone can freely drink it . ”
Located on the small shelf was a wide range of variety from instant coffee to drip coffee . Some were normal commercial brands, but there were also expensive looking brands as well .
This was the first time I entered the staff kitchen, but there really was quite a variety of things in here . There was even a toothbrush and a cup for rinsing . Even a refrigerator .
“Seiji-kun, which one is good?”
She swung around my back side and hugged me .
This is like this, and that is like that, she stretched her arms over my shoulders and taught me various things . She was quite close to me, so her breasts were always touching me on my back .
“…You’re doing this on purpose, right?”
When I looked at her, she tilted her head with a blank expression .
“Eh? What??”
So, this isn’t on purpose? No, rather, her air headedness is unfair . It was something that couldn’t be calculated . I also have no idea when it might randomly activate when she’s with someone that’s not me .
“Your breasts are touching me, Sensei . ”

“Not Sensei . Haruksan . ”
“Your breasts are touching my back, Haruksan . ”
“Why are you being so polite? … Well… still… I am hugging you pretty tightly… so it isn’t a surprise that they are touching you…?”
After that, this person stopped hugging me so tightly . Guilty .
“This… your air headedness is something that’s fine with me… but there’s a chance of you doing something like that to another guy… so it’s a little troubling…”
As if I had suddenly started talking to her in French, Hiiragi-chan’s seemed to have a bunch of question marks above her head again .
“I won’t hug anyone other than Seiji-kun though?”
“… . T-that’s true as well . ”
Which means, she won’t stick so close to someone other than me . I see . That’s a relief .
Hiiragi-chan then shined, as if she suddenly noticed something .
“Se-Seiji-kun, was acting jealous…! W-what should I do? It’s so cute…”
“No, it isn’t that . ”
“It’s okay, don’t worry . You’re a good boy, good boy . ”
Treating me like a child, Hiiragi-chan patted me on the head . She was grinning quite happily . It’s somehow frustrating . My inner age is older than hers…!
As if trying to escape, I decided on a coffee to drink .
Hiiragi-chan then closed the open staff kitchen door .
“Oh yeah, I haven’t boiled the water yet . ”
“Alright . ”
Giving her a random response, I put water into the electric kettle and turned it on . The electric kettle made a quiet noise .
“Seiji-kun, so you don’t like it if I hug other people?”
“Well… yes…”
Her loosening expression was suddenly given strength . She then hugged me tightly .
“Until… the water is done… okay? ♡”
“The lights are on, so people can easily see from outside, Sensei . ”
Tap tap tap . Pachin . Tap tap tap .
She distanced herself from me for a moment, turned off the lights, and then returned to her original position . That was fast .
“It’s as if we’re doing forbidden things in school during the night . ”
Our relationship is “forbidden” in the first place, so I would say it’s too late .
There was a slight bit of light that came from the staff room, so it’s not like the staff kitchen was completely dark . I could see Hiiragi-chan softly shutting her eyes in the darkness . I kissed her once, twice, three times, and then she ended up kissing me .
An alarm rang signifying that the electric kettle was done, but I didn’t pay attention to it . In the end, the “break” dragged on . By the time Hiiragi-chan restarted her work, it was already around 9 .
