Chapter 1650 Reporting in
On our way back to the Administration Building, Juri and I talked about the upcoming match of Satsuki. I told her our class’s plan for it as well as how I wouldn’t be able to join them initially.
Naturally, I also went into detail about my next destination after I separated from her.
She got curious about why I needed to report to Hayashi-sensei. I didn’t tell her the cause of it but at least, I linked it to my position as Disciplinary Officer.
I didn’t have to hide what I did yesterday to the silent guy but I deemed it better not to make her needlessly worry about a resolved issue like that anymore. Besides, she’s still in the process of slowly accepting everything about me.
And for sure, it would still come up as a topic of our conversation in the future.
“Okay. I understand how busy you will be today. Don’t forget to take a break, understand?”
Although Juri wasn’t that amused upon hearing all that, she was well aware that it was already a normal schedule for me. And so, upon brainstorming on what to say, that’s all she could come up with. A reminder not to overwork myself.
“Yes, ma’am. You know me. I’m daring enough to put myself in this kind of situation... No matter what, I’ll see to it that things won’t end with all of you worrying about my health. I mean, you’ve felt how healthy I am.” To lighten up the mood, I playfully added that last sentence. Even if we didn’t go past the passionate kisses, it’s a natural reaction for me to be turned on for a girl I wholeheartedly desire... And with our bodies that close together, Juri felt it through our clothes.
And so, it only took a second before Juri’s face reacted like the fine maiden that she is. Her face became beet red as she somehow lost her balance from thinking about it. Most likely, she tried recalling the sensation in her head and it came back vividly.
I was quick to support her but my touches just intensified her vivid recollection. As a result, I still ended up holding her close to me just to make sure that she wouldn’t fall down. Moreover, given that we were already outside, we became a point of interest for those walking by.
When Juri recovered a minute or two later, she lightly slapped my shoulder as she bit her lip to prevent her expression from naturally shifting according to what she was currently feeling.
“How inappropriate, Ruki... But to use that as your standard for being healthy... I can’t say I’m not convinced.”
After releasing a sigh at the end, Juri then reached for my cheeks and pinched them with all her might. When she let go of it, she started laughing while poking my cheeks.
“Next time, I’ll be pinching that. To test if you’re as healthy as you claimed to be.” While donning a mischievous expression, Juri whispered that as her eyes concentrated on the bulge in my pants as though she was marking it in her crosshair.
No matter how brave or shameless I am, I involuntarily gulped down from that.
I mean, knowing the girl, she wasn’t joking... she’s going to do it given the chance. And perhaps if not for our present location, she might be compelled not to wait for next time and do it right away. That’s how serious she is about that...
I guess being playful backfired on me this time... Uh... I’ll take that loss. It’s for Juri, anyway.

Upon arriving at the same room where we left Setsuna-nee and Sakuma alone, the sight that welcomed us was Setsuna-nee patting Sakuma’s head as if he’s a pet she’s doting on.
The guy wasn’t against it though. He even looked like he was enjoying his current position.
Should I call that progress in their relationship? I don’t know. And honestly, I have no time to find out anymore.
After telling the guy to stay there with them and escort them to join up with our class on their way to the venue, I left the room and continued to my next destination.
Before taking the steps to the third floor, I first made sure that no one was around. Even if I have a business with the Director of the school, I would definitely be scolded by any teacher who’d find me wandering towards it.
I also intentionally slowed down my steps just to arrange the thoughts in my head.
I did try to organize a coherent plan on how to tackle the reporting. However, after reading through it, I decided to scrap it and just improvise on the spot.
While that sounded like someone lazy would do, I have my reasoning.
A lot has happened but at the same time, I also have a lot of things to omit. If I go by just picking out what can be deemed as normal, Hayashi-sensei will definitely find some gap in information about it.
And so, instead of outright lying about a lot of things, I decided to simply retell it in a way where nothing explicit will be said or narrated.
For example, instead of getting a blowjob in the karaoke... I’ll skip that part and tell Hayashi-sensei that we were there to celebrate the girl’s birthday. As an added detail, I’ll let slip that Saki is one of my girls.
Even if Hayashi-sensei confidently told me that she was aware of what I was doing, I doubt she had the full information on the girls connected to me. The only thing she’s holding onto was also mere suspicions, much like most of the students in the school.
With that thought in mind, I soon arrived before the Director’s Office.
Before knocking and coming inside, I perked my ears to listen in just in case someone else was inside the room.
And sure enough, I could hear a familiar old man’s voice inside. The acting Principal.
He’s complaining about something.
“Director, if I may have a word about this camping trip... Even if they’re alumni of our school, won’t it be risky to have them supervise our students? What if something happened that’s not within their capacity? Can we seriously trust them to resolve it?”
“I understand your concern, Principal. But this is something they proposed. Let’s have faith in them, okay? Some of them are your previous students as well. Don’t you want to see what they are capable of nowadays?”
“That... I do. However, that still doesn’t justify how they only proposed it to us just so our school will shoulder the cost.”
“Ah. So that’s what you’re really concerned about. The cost. Have I been shorting you on your salary?”
“That’s not what I meant, Director!”
“Really? You’re losing weight, aren’t you? Are you not eating properly?”
“No... I...”
“Enough. I don’t want to hear your excuses. If you’re worried about our school’s finances, just make sure you’re allocating our budget in the right places. This camping trip will be financed by my own pockets. Happy?”
... What kind of conversation did I run into? And Hayashi-sensei... I get that she basically owned the school but is there a reason why she’s going to that length in acceding to the proposal? What’s in it for her?
Of course, only she could answer that.
Not long after that, the old Principal walked out of the room.
When he saw me standing there, he quickly used his handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face and neck before forcing himself to smile.
For sure, he’s already aware that I am becoming a constant visitor here but as someone living off of the salary being paid by Hayashi-sensei, he’s nothing more than a figurehead to take away the hassle of being the face of the school from Hayashi-sensei.
“Good afternoon, Principal.”
“Oh. Our young Disciplinary Officer. Are you here to see the Director?”
I thought he was going to walk back to his room but surprisingly, he started a conversation.
Looking at the still-opened door, I could already see Hayashi-sensei staring at us, looking amused.
She’s probably getting off from seeing me acting differently than how I usually am around her.
In any case, there’s no reason for me to act important here and ignore the old man.
“Yes. I have been called in to report.”
“Ah. How diligent...” He exclaimed and with the way he fell into contemplation, he was probably thinking about whether he could also exert his authority on me. And most likely, it’s about the topic they were just discussing.
Unfortunately, before he could come up with something, Hayashi-sensei faked a cough, stopping him.
“Oh. G-go ahead and get in. You shouldn’t make the Director wait.”
Without waiting for me to reply, the old man immediately trudged back to his room, leaving me and the opened door to the Director’s Office.
“That old man. Don’t listen to him, alright? He’s worrying about useless things.”
That’s Hayashi-sensei’s first words upon my entry. She had her hand on her forehead as though the old man had just given her a headache for trying to raise that topic with her.
In any case, my curiosity was also piqued by hearing their conversation.
“I don’t know, sensei. But isn’t the Principal’s concern valid? Are you that generous to shoulder the expense of the camping trip?”
As I raised that question, instead of walking to sit in front of her. I made my way behind the sofa she was sitting on. And before she could realize what I was about to do, my hands already moved to her head, stabilizing it by pressing my thumb on her temple.
“Oi brat, what are you doing? Also, it’s a bad habit to eavesdrop.”
“Is it? My bad. Then sensei can choose not to answer it. But allow me to massage your head.” I gave a straightforward answer which immediately resulted in Hayashi-sensei lifting her head to capture my audacious mug.
