Kyushu, Japan, a village surrounded by mountains———
This somewhat old-fashioned small town didn't have many residents, especially young people. Yet there was a peerless beauty with waist-length hair, a voluptuous figure, a slender waist, and a face so exquisitely beautiful. It was hard to believe such a stunning woman came from this unremarkable countryside.
Tohka's complexion was radiant. Her expression and demeanor seemed no different from before, still carrying that mature and composed elegance. Only occasionally would a trace of longing appear in her eyes. Although they could contact each other by phone at any time, for Teacher Tohka, having just confirmed their relationship only to be separated by distance was truly agonizing.
But now, there was no need to worry.
The beautiful teacher wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the luggage she had already prepared, and a faint smile appeared on her face. It was like the flowers blooming in the courtyard, outshining everything around them.
"We'll meet again soon, Kazuma."
Teacher Tohka looked around her room. There actually wasn't much to prepare. She hadn't even brought many clothes, planning to buy them in Tokyo instead. There wasn't much in her suitcase either.
As for the things in the room, Tohka wasn't particularly attached to them.
"Mom."
Tohka's two daughters appeared behind her at some point, looking at their mother with complicated emotions. The sisters, Suiren and Aoi, had inherited their mother's astonishing beauty and charm.
Not only were their faces captivatingly beautiful, but their figures were also exceptional, as if they had inherited all of their mother's excellent genes.
"Mom, are you really going to Tokyo?"
"What? Can't bear to part with Mom?" Tohka turned to look at her daughters. "Suiren, Aoi, you're grown up now. You're already adults and can live independently just fine."
"But..."
Their mother, with whom they had lived for so many years, was leaving. Both girls felt somewhat downcast.
"Why can't you stay at home? It's not like Kazuma-kun won't come."
"I know, but I still want to go find him. Besides, my work transfer has already been arranged. Aoi, it's too late to say these things now."
Tohka gently stroked her daughter's silver hair.
"Don't worry. Mom will come back to see you often."
Realizing they couldn't change their mother's mind, and seeing the determination in her eyes, Suiren sighed softly.
"Mom really likes him a lot."
"Yes, Mom loves him very much. Since that little rascal won't come find me, I have no choice but to go find him."
Tohka slung her bag over her shoulder, glanced back at her daughters who had come to see her off, and waved at them.
The station in this small village was quite old. There was hardly anyone sitting on the benches by the platform. In fact, there weren't many people in the station at all.
Aoi and Suiren watched as their mother boarded the train bound for Tokyo.
When they finally saw the train carrying their mother disappear into the distance, neither girl spoke for a moment. They simply exchanged glances and sighed heavily.
Mom really left.
...
The train carriage was nearly empty. Only a few plainly dressed young girls chatted excitedly among themselves, their faces filled with longing for the great city of Tokyo.
Listening to their cheerful voices, Tohka smiled slightly and found a seat by the window.
This was a very common sight in rural Japan. Young people from the countryside were always filled with curiosity and anticipation for the big cities. In remote villages like this, those taking trains to urban areas were usually young people, so passenger numbers were often low.
Gazing at the railway tracks, utility poles, and the distant forests and mountains outside the window, Teacher Tohka was no longer considered young.
Yet, just like those girls, her heart was filled with anticipation, and her excitement was impossible to suppress.
It felt as though her heart had become youthful and vibrant once more.
Of course, Tohka was different from them.
It wasn't the city she was looking forward to, but the person she loved.
She hadn't even told Kazuma that she was coming to Tokyo. She wanted to surprise him.
"He'll definitely be startled."
Tohka leaned her curvy, gorgeous body against the seatback as she gazed at the scenery outside the window. A faint smile curved her pink lips as she imagined Kazuma's surprised expression.
Filled with such anticipation, she eventually arrived in Tokyo.
The bustling metropolis and the crowds of people everywhere were sights completely absent from the countryside of Kyushu.
After getting off the train, Tohka was momentarily stunned by the sea of people at the station. Just as she was marveling at Tokyo's prosperity and lively atmosphere, she suddenly heard someone calling her name.
"Teacher Tohka, over here————!"
Two beautiful women were waving at her beside a car.
"Although we've seen your photos, you're even more beautiful in person. Teacher Tohka, welcome to Tokyo."
Shirakawa Miwa smiled warmly.
"And welcome to our school."
"You two are very beautiful as well," Tohka said, equally impressed by their charm. "But why did you come all the way here to pick me up?"
"Of course it's to show some care for our new colleague and, by the way, fulfill our duties as hosts."
The other beautiful woman extended her hand.
"I'm Kyouko Tsukishima, and this is Teacher Shirakawa Miwa. How about it? Want to go for a drink first?"
If Tohka didn't have other matters to attend to, she wouldn't have refused this sort of workplace socializing.
"Sorry, Teacher Tsukishima. I just arrived in Tokyo and still need to find a place to stay..."
"That's true. If you need any help, feel free to ask us."
Kyouko Tsukishima nodded.
"But you don't seem to have brought much luggage."
"Yes. The journey was long, so I decided to buy my daily necessities after arriving."
Shirakawa Miwa clapped her hands.
"Then remember to call us when you go shopping! We'll come with you. By the way, Teacher Tohka, would you like to visit the school now?"
Tohka blinked.
"Alright."
If she went to the school now...
Could she see Kazuma?
Shirakawa Miwa and Kyouko Tsukishima chatted with Tohka throughout the journey. The three women quickly became familiar with one another.
Sitting in the back seat, Tohka chatted with the gentle and kind Shirakawa Miwa before suddenly asking:
"By the way, is there a student named Kazuma at the school?"
"Huh?"
Hearing the new colleague suddenly mention that name, Shirakawa Miwa froze.
Kyouko Tsukishima, who was driving, didn't notice anything unusual.
"Kazuma? That seems to be a student from Class B, Miwa's class. Tohka, is there a problem?"
"No, nothing."
After hearing that Kazuma was Shirakawa Miwa's student, Teacher Tohka looked at her with a hint of envy.
"I... knew that child before. Would it be possible for me to see him later?"
So they were acquainted.
Shirakawa Miwa immediately understood.
Then the blonde beauty let out a weary sigh.
"Kazuma-kun is a very good student, but sometimes he's a little too... relaxed. I always feel like he doesn't come to school to study at all."
Kazuma-san: That's so true. Who even comes here to study?
"He's either hanging out with girls or skipping class…"
Tohka's expression turned a little strange, but it matched her impression of him. If one of her own students behaved like that, she would have a headache as well.
Kyouko Tsukishima raised an eyebrow. "If you ask me, Miwa, you're too gentle. You should be stricter with them. Then those troublesome students wouldn't dare to fool around. Teacher Tohka, what do you think?"
"Teacher Tsukishima makes a good point." Tohka agreed with Kyouko Tsukishima's opinion. She had been quite strict at her previous school. Although she had only just met Shirakawa Miwa, she could already tell that Miwa's personality was very soft—too gentle and too eager to accommodate others.
But then again, if it were Kazuma, she wouldn't be able to be strict with him even if she wanted to. Instead, he would probably pin her against the wall and bully her. Thinking of that, Tohka's cheeks flushed slightly, and her heart began to race.
Neither Shirakawa Miwa nor Kyouko Tsukishima noticed her shy expression.
