As soon as she stepped out of the principal's office, Hiratsuka Shizuka's face lit up with a happy smile.
She affectionately took Sawamura Sayuri's arm and looked down at her adorable upperclassman.
"Senior, we'll be colleagues from now on. Please take good care of me."
Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka's happy smile, Sawamura Sayuri suddenly became serious.
She looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka very seriously, which startled Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"Hello, Hiratsuka Shizuka-senpai, please take care of me from now on."
Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly chuckled, looking at the serious-looking Sawamura Sayuri.
"Little Lily, I will take good care of you from now on."
The two looked at each other and laughed simultaneously.
"I never thought becoming a teacher would be so easy."
After the joke, Sayuri Sawamura followed Shizuka Hiratsuka toward the teachers' office.
"It's not that simple." Hiratsuka Shizuka shrugged nonchalantly.
"On the one hand, you already have a teaching certificate, and on the other hand, you are one of the most popular cartoonists in recent years."
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at her with admiration, respect, and a look that Sawamura Sayuri couldn't understand.
"So, it's something the school board would love for that you could become our art teacher."
After all, the addition of a well-known manga artist like Sayuri Sawamura will make Toyonosaki Academy even more attractive.
Walking through the teaching building of Toyosaki Academy, Hiratsuka Shizuka showed Sawamura Sayuri around the school while the two occasionally talked about things from the past.
However, just as she was about to reach the teachers' office, Sayuri Sawamura looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka beside her.
"Xiaojing, you must have invited me to your school for something, right?"
She couldn't believe that her junior classmate would be so idle as to ask her to be a teacher.
Therefore, there must be some reason.
"Hmm~" Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly and turned her head away awkwardly.
"There is something I need your help with."
Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the door to the teachers' office and turned to look at Sawamura Sayuri: "Senpai, let's sit down and talk."
Since it's already class time, there aren't many teachers in the teachers' office.
However, the remaining male teachers were all taken aback when they saw Hiratsuka Shizuka and Sawamura Sayuri walk in.
She's a very beautiful and lovely girl.
Her face was innocent yet alluring, and her petite figure exuded a mature and captivating charm.
After helping Sayuri Sawamura introduce herself to the teachers, Shizuka Hiratsuka led her to an empty desk.
"This is your seat, senior."
Sayuri Sawamura put down her backpack and turned to look around the teacher's office.
The decor is simple, but all the necessary facilities are included, and there is even a tea room specially set up for the teachers.
It can be used to entertain parents, or to allow teachers to relax after class.
"Hey, Xiaojing, can you tell me now?"
Sawamura Sayuri withdrew her gaze from surveying the room and smiled at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was sitting next to her.
Faced with Sayuri Sawamura's gaze, Shizuka Hiratsuka awkwardly scratched her cheek.
"Senior, recently Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha, Aki Tomoya, and Kato Megumi started a club."
Sawamura Sayuri's eyes widened slightly. So, her daughter Eriri had already started helping Aki Tomoya make that game?
"But as you know, senior, you were the one who introduced me to anime, comics, and novels back then."
Hiratsuka Shizuka gave a helpless smile.
"To today's kids, I'm already outdated."
A warm smile appeared on Hiratsuka Shizuka's lips as she looked at Sawamura Sayuri.
"But if it's an upperclassman, then there shouldn't be a problem. He can give Eriri, Kasumigaoka Utaha, and that boy named Aki Tomoya more guidance and help."
Sayuri Sawamura nodded, indicating that she was willing to be the advisor for Eriri's club.
Or rather, even if Hiratsuka Shizuka hadn't brought it up, she would have wanted to take on the role of mentor herself.
After all, this way she could understand her daughter better.
Then there was also the opportunity to change her daughter's sexual orientation.
Make Eriri understand that her current affection for me is nothing more than admiration for her mother.
So hurry up and find a great guy to marry.
Of course, Aki Tomoya is absolutely out of the question.
Sawamura Sayuri, who was deep in thought, suddenly raised her head and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka beside her.
But she saw that Hiratsuka Shizuka was still looking at her expectantly.
"What's wrong, Xiaojing? Is there something else?"
"Senior, is there anything else you can do for me?"
Sawamura Sayuri blinked. Even though she was an art teacher, the school didn't assign her many teaching tasks.
However, it wasn't easy for her either.
After all, she also has another identity: a manga artist and a light novel author.
Moreover, she also has to rush to finish her doujinshi for the CM Comic Con in August.
After all, Yuriko Koike's official fan art has become her signature style.
Therefore, Sawamura Sayuri has already squeezed out time to serve as a teacher at Toyonosaki Academy.
She sacrificed her time spent slacking off at the coffee shop watching cute maids for her daughter.
"Xiaojing, I'm very busy..."
"Senior, please!"
Looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was clasping her hands together as if asking for help.
Sawamura Sayuri sighed helplessly, then extended her hand.
"Okay, I understand." He gently placed his hand on Hiratsuka Shizuka's head and patted it.
"So, what's next? What kind of help does Xiaojing need from me?"
"Senior, do you remember the child I told you about yesterday?"
"What you said yesterday?" Sawamura Sayuri tapped her chin lightly with her alabaster fingers. "Was it that child named Yukino Yukinoshita?"
"Yes, senior." Hiratsuka sighed silently. "She created a service club."
"Service Club?" Sawamura Sayuri deliberately feigned a puzzled tone.
"It's a strange name, isn't it?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said, her tone tinged with helplessness yet also with pity.
"The child said that the purpose of this club is to change the world and help ordinary people know how to solve problems."
"Isn't it a ridiculous ideal that someone wants to change the world in this way..."
"No, I think it's a very noble ideal!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka opened her eyes wide and stared blankly at Sawamura Sayuri.
"Xiaojing, don't you think this sounds a lot like the protagonists in comics and novels?"
Sawamura Sayuri squinted and smiled as she looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka.
