Yukinoshita Yukino clearly showed disgust on her face and glared at him.
Then, whether talking to herself or complaining bitterly, she said angrily, "I clearly didn't want to get involved..."
If it were someone else, they would probably feel hurt.
Natsuhiko wasn't arrogant enough to think the whole world loved him, but being hated by a character he liked? Wasn't that even more exciting?
His face was full of smiles, not even a hint of disappointment. Only people who lacked confidence would pretend not to care. He really didn't care.
Yukinoshita's furrowed brows.
Natsuhiko thought that if he were her, he would probably start clicking his tongue by now.
Looking closely at Yukinoshita's face, maybe because of her features, her fierce look actually seemed a bit childish, which went against her usual cool demeanor.
"Natsuhiko has a lot of rumors, but he probably won't force himself on you in terms of '247' character, right?"
Right?
Hiratsuka Shizuka added this as if to boost Yukinoshita Yukino's confidence, but she said words she suddenly wasn't sure about. Was that really okay? Shizuka was so cute!
"He will force it, Hiratsuka-sensei. It's just that he hasn't met anyone he needs to force yet."
Natsuhiko showed a meaningful smile.
The meaning was obvious.
But his words seemed to backfire.
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him.
Then, unwillingly, she answered Hiratsuka Shizuka's suggestion.
"Fine, since it's the teacher's request, I can't ignore it... So I'll accept!"
She accepted?
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's reply.
Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled brightly.
"That guy has a lot of rumors, but you don't have to believe them all."
Hiratsuka Shizuka said this right in front of him without a care, probably because he had promised to help out.
But things turning out like this was something Natsuhiko hadn't expected.
Still, it seemed kind of fun.
"Don't expect too much, Hiko!"
"I'm looking forward to it. You two can go now, Yukinoshita."
Her attitude toward the two students was completely different.
"Oh, wait a sec~"
Called back, they both turned around together.
"Fighting! (Go for it!)"
And so the two left the office together. In the end, it was a total win for Hiratsuka Shizuka!
...
"Wow, you really went all out for your students, using all those tricks."
Watching the two problem students leave.
Hiratsuka Shizuka heard a tease from the female teacher at the next desk.
"Shizuka, looks like you have plenty of problem students too?"
The female teacher showed a helpless smile.
"I have nothing but problem students here too!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed.
"Who doesn't? But from the way you acted just now, it seemed like you were defending our Natsuhiko. Spill it, do you have some plan because he's handsome, Fuyu-chan?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed her finger like a one-finger zen.
The beautiful teacher called Fuyu-chan amusingly pushed Hiratsuka Shizuka's finger away.
"You know the answer. As the advisor for the K-On club, I'm also his homeroom teacher. You Service Club gets a homeroom teacher to help, but we K-On club teachers can't step in?"
Fuyu-chan snorted coldly.
"But Shizuka, I heard you found someone to marry. Lucky you. Is he a good guy? Introduce a boyfriend to me sometime too. I'm single."
"..."
"Who? Who said I have someone to marry?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly got very angry.
Seeing her so shocked, the teacher called Fuyu-chan was very surprised.
"Yesterday, a male teacher posted that he saw you at a mixer. The guy you were with was some successful company president... He even said not to bring you to any more mixers."
Hearing the description.
Hiratsuka Shizuka felt guilty.
It was all because of her problem student. Did news spread that fast? How was she supposed to go to mixers now?
Aaaah!
She irritably grabbed her hair.
Damn it.
...
Natsuhiko and Yukinoshita Yukino properly left the office.
Of course, they had no idea that Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been all smiles moments ago, had exploded again.
But anyway.
Turning someone into a project? Hiratsuka Shizuka really came up with that.
"Yukino."
"Please call me Yukinoshita!"
She frowned unhappily. Clearly, she wasn't pleased that he called her name without asking.
"Got it, Yukino!"
"Natsuhiko, is this how you talk to girls?"
She sighed helplessly and accepted the nickname....
For a girl like Yukinoshita Yukino, Natsuhiko had no intention of going along with her wishes. Plus, by some coincidence, their relationship had become like this. Honestly, he held the upper hand now.
What a rude guy.
That was Yukinoshita Yukino's first thought.
Just a pretty boy popular because of his looks.
If not for Hiratsuka-sensei, she wouldn't even want to talk to him. Ignoring others' feelings and calling people by their first names on his own.
She had a guess about Hiratsuka-sensei's intentions.
He clearly came from that school but didn't learn any noble manners.
She sighed again.
"Hiratsuka-sensei said excellent people have a duty to help the pitiful ones. Since the teacher entrusted you to me, I'll take full responsibility and fix your bad habits. So thank me!"
Yukino put on an aggressive face.
Such deceptive talk would only fool Yukino.
So Natsuhiko took out his phone.
"Then, for a pitiful guy like me, let's exchange contacts."
"?
This woman didn't say anything, but even from her expression, Natsuhiko could tell she didn't need his contact.
She showed a mocking cold smile.
"Yukino, is your service really just this level? You know I spend most of my time outside school. If you can't keep track of my movements in time, how can you fix me?"
Natsuhiko saw Yukino's pupils widen without thinking. She probably had no way to argue back.
"...That's surprising. I didn't think a guy whose head is full of girls could say something like that."
"I'm first in our year, first in the national mock exams."
"And I'm handsome!"
Hearing this bragging.
Yukino pressed her temple like she had a headache.
No way to argue.
Feeling like she had already lost a step, Yukino gave in and took out her phone.
Natsuhiko smiled.
"You can put 'Future Husband Natsuhiko' in the notes."
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Natsuhiko, who seemed to be showing off his victory, and said nothing calmly. Besides his "harem" stuff, she would fix all his other annoying traits, including his self-praise. Those girls blinded by his looks—she would save them from misery!
