"How amazing, Hiratsuka-sensei, you actually knocked on the door today."
Yukino Yukinoshita sat on the windowsill with a book lying face down on her lap.
She paused her conversation with the two classmates in front of her and turned to look at Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was walking in from the doorway.
Then, she also saw Sayuri Sawamura walking next to Shizuka Hiratsuka.
Who is this?
Although she looks very young, Yukino Yukinoshita still managed to figure out Sawamura Sayuri's approximate age.
"Oh, this is our school's new art teacher, and also my senior, Sayuri Sawamura."
"Hello, Sawamura-sensei."
As Yukino Yukino greeted them, her eyebrows slightly raised.
The surname Sawamura always felt very familiar to her.
"Auntie Lily, I never expected you to become a teacher at our school."
Just as Yukino Yukinoshita was still wondering about the relationship between Sayuri Sawamura and Eriri Sawamura, who was in the same grade as her, the boy sitting opposite her stood up.
"Oh, it's Tomoya. What are you doing here?"
As her daughter's childhood friend, Sayuri Sawamura naturally knew Tomoya Aki.
Moreover, she could say she was quite familiar with it—because she had read the original work in her previous life.
However, Sayuri Sawamura's feelings towards Tomoya Aki have never been very good.
Whether it's a past life or the present.
He knew perfectly well how the girl felt about him, but pretended not to.
Instead of keeping their distance, they take advantage of their affection to achieve their own ideals.
Such a person can be described as scum.
Although that's what I think in my heart, as an adult...
Sawamura Sayuri managed to control her facial expression well and smiled at Aki Tomoya.
"I brought Kato here to ask Yukinoshita for help, so I can ask her to help me reform Kato."
Upon hearing the person Aki Tomoya mentioned, Sawamura Sayuri finally noticed him.
There was also a girl standing next to Aki Tomoya, with a strangely thin presence.
And that adorable bob haircut, delicate features, and fair complexion.
"This is the heroine from your game project that Eriri mentioned to me, right, Rinya?"
Sawamura Sayuri carefully examined Kato Megumi, feeling deeply impressed.
There really are such peculiar people in this world. They are so cute, but for some reason, people around them always subconsciously ignore them.
It's as if Kato Megumi has put all her talent points into stealth.
"Hello, Sawamura-sensei and Hiratsuka-sensei."
Although she had a faint presence, Kato Megumi was very polite when she was noticed.
"Aki-kun, you seem to know Sawamura-sensei very well?"
Despite being a lovely person, Kato Megumi's tone of voice sounded so calm.
Sawamura Sayuri simply couldn't discern whether she was expressing any emotion in her voice.
"Ah, Aunt Sayuri is Eriri's mother. She's a very talented manga artist and light novel author!"
Aki Tomoya gets very excited whenever the topic of anime and manga comes up.
The information he revealed also made Yukino Yukinoshita and Megumi Kato look at Sayuri Sawamura.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, is there anything I can do for you at this hour?"
Yukino Yukinoshita was only slightly surprised before asking Hiratsuka Shizuka about her purpose in coming.
"Oh, I just wanted to let you know that I have some things to take care of, so my senior will be serving as an advisor for the Service Club with me for the time being."
"This doesn't seem to comply with the school's rules."
Hiratsuka Shizuka simply waved her hand dismissively at Yukino Yukinoshita's words.
"It's okay. Even though she's just an art teacher at the school, she still has a lot of privileges. The school will turn a blind eye to this."
Hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka say this, Yukino Yukinoshita stopped arguing and simply nodded.
"Please continue to guide me, Sawamura-sensei."
"Nice to meet you, Yukinoshita-kun."
Sawamura Sayuri nodded and greeted Yukino Yukinoshita.
"By the way, I didn't expect you to finally receive a request, Yukinoshita."
Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Aki Tomoya and Kato Megumi sitting opposite Yukino Yukinoshita, then crossed her arms and nodded.
However, her relieved and gratified expression made Yukino Yukinoshita a little dissatisfied.
The girl frowned, her delicate eyebrows furrowing, and gave Hiratsuka Shizuka a disapproving look.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, did you think from the beginning that no one would come to my club?"
Although her voice remained calm, everyone could hear the anger in the girl's tone.
"How could that be?" Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand. "I'm just worried that if you don't promote it, nobody will know about this club."
"By the way, Aki-san, how did you find out about the Yukinoshita Service Club?"
Aki Tomoya pushed up his glasses and glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita sitting opposite him.
"Although I am very dissatisfied with the two-dimensional setting of the three most popular beautiful girls in a school in real life, I have to say that Yukinoshita is very popular in school."
He looked slightly disgusted, but Yukino Yukinoshita wasn't angry.
Because everyone present could tell that this disdain wasn't directed at Yukino Yukinoshita.
"And such a popular and beautiful girl is naturally very popular at school."
Aki Tomoya looked up at Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"So the concerns you mentioned, Hiratsuka-sensei, are unfounded. Many people at the school already knew about this club when Yukinoshita-san created it."
"That's something I didn't expect."
Hiratsuka Shizuka raised an eyebrow.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm not bragging, but I'm just that cute and popular."
Yukino Yukinoshita gently smoothed her long hair behind her back, a gesture that, combined with her expression, made her look even more radiant.
She gives off a very arrogant feeling. If those who dislike Yukino Shinobu saw this, they would definitely say that the girl is arrogant and shameless.
However, Sayuri Sawamura felt that Yukino Yukinoshita was not wrong.
She is indeed very popular at school, but at the same time, she is also resented by many people.
"By the way, Rinya, do you stay here after school?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Aki Tomoya looked at Sawamura Sayuri with a puzzled expression, not understanding why Eriri's mother was asking him that question.
"I think you've forgotten, Rinya. Shiho and Eriri are waiting for you in the multimedia classroom."
Upon hearing Sawamura Sayuri's words, Aki Tomoya's face instantly showed a look of horror.
