Originally, Amane was already surprised that Chabashira-sensei wanted to see the two of them.
But what was even stranger was yet to come.
Chabashira-sensei mysteriously had Horikita enter the tearoom first for a private conversation.
Then she told Amane to wait outside the door.
Did Chabashira-sensei have something private to discuss with Horikita?
Or was it that some things needed to be kept from her?
However, these matters could be set aside for now.
The most pressing matter at hand was... "Oh, what a cute girl, were you also invited by Xiao Zhaezhi?"
Just as Amane began to ponder what to eat for dinner.
A lively and sweet voice came from behind her.
"Chabashira-sensei called me. May I ask who you are...?"
"I am Hoshinomiya Chie, the homeroom teacher of Class B."
Homeroom teacher?
Looking at Hoshinomiya's appearance.
And then recalling Chabashira-sensei.
Hoshinomiya-sensei looked more like a student, didn't she?
"Hello, Hoshinomiya-sensei. I am Miyako Amane from First Year Class D. Please take care of me..."
As soon as Amane finished speaking, she saw Hoshinomiya-sensei carefully observing her.
She even specifically walked around her in a circle.
"Xiao Zhaezhi's taste is getting pickier and pickier. First a handsome boy, and now a cute girl? Her face looks so cute~ poke poke~ so soft, feels super good!!! Her figure is also great, I really envy Xiao Zhaezhi."
Hoshinomiya-sensei said, showing an envious expression.
Wait, wait.
What are you envious of!!!
"Uh... Hoshinomiya-sensei, do you know why Chabashira-sensei called us for a private talk?"
How could the homeroom teacher of Class B know about Class D's affairs?
So Amane didn't expect Hoshinomiya-sensei to give her an answer.
Amane just wanted to change the subject.
This teacher was a bit too overly familiar, even more exaggeratedly familiar than Amane.
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhaezhi won't do anything excessive to her students. But this time, she's into both boys and girls. Xiao Zhaezhi must have been lonely for too long."
Hoshinomiya-sensei rested her face on her hand, sighing involuntarily.
Amane's eyes suddenly widened.
When Hoshinomiya-sensei said the first half of the sentence, Amane didn't react much.
But when she heard the second half.
She immediately became agitated.
What the heck is "into both boys and girls"!
Thump thump thump!!!
Amane began to frantically knock on the tearoom door.
"Hey hey hey, Miyako-san, if you do that, Xiao Zhaezhi will get angry."
Hoshinomiya-sensei seemed a little afraid of an angry Chabashira-sensei.
She quickly spoke up to dissuade Amane.
But Amane's mind was now filled with some inappropriate images.
Instead, she went into a mode of doubled attack speed.
"Open the door, open the door! Chabashira-sensei, open the door quickly!!! Give me back my Suzune!!!"
"What's all the noise? It'll be over soon, wait quietly!"
Chabashira's angry command came from inside the tearoom.
It'll be over soon?
How could that be allowed?
Amane directly tried to twist the doorknob.
"What the—why is it locked from the inside! As expected... you did *that* to a student, didn't you?! You'll go down a path of immoral teaching from which there's no return!!!"
Amane took two steps back.
Her body slightly lowered.
"Mi-Miyako-san, you're not going to... No! You can't kick the door!"
"Hoshinomiya-sensei, at this moment, I can't think about that much! Also, could you please hug in the correct place?"
Amane pointed to the two hands on her chest.
"Sorry, I originally wanted to hug Miyako-san's waist, but in my panic, I grabbed the wrong place. Please forgive me."
Hoshinomiya-sensei clasped her hands together and playfully stuck out her tongue.
How cute.
Wait, wait.
Horikita was still inside.
"Hoshinomiya-sensei, please step aside."
Seeing that Amane was determined to kick the door.
Hoshinomiya thought for a moment and whispered something in Amane's ear.
"This door is custom-made, you know. I heard it's quite expensive."
"Kicking the door would violate school rules, so I'll just knock again."
Amane's attitude did a complete one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn.
Just as Amane was about to knock on the door, everything went dark.
Then something soft bumped her head, pushing Amane back several steps.
"You're so noisy! Now it's your turn, come in with me."
Chabashira-sensei glared fiercely at Amane.
Inside, Horikita had almost agreed to her request.
But Amane's perfectly timed shouting ruined it.
Horikita was once again wavering.
Helpless, Chabashira could only tell Horikita to go to the back and think about it.
She herself would call in that shouting idiot for a talk.
"Eh, where's Suzune?"
As soon as Amane entered the room and saw that Horikita wasn't there, she immediately asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, she won't get lost. Horikita is in the back thinking. You just need to answer my questions normally now."
"Xiao Zhaezhi, can I also participate?"
"What do you think?"
"Of course you can."
Bang.
The tearoom door slammed shut.
Leaving only Hoshinomiya-sensei in disarray outside the door.
"Damn you, Xiao Zhaezhi!!! Hmph, I won't invite you to the next mixer."
Hoshinomiya-sensei huffily returned to the office.
"Now, let's talk about you, Miyako-san..."
"Can I have some tea?"
"..."
Chabashira-sensei looked speechlessly at Amane, who had picked up the teapot and was pouring herself water.
Aren't you already pouring it yourself?
"Chabashira-sensei, would you like some tea?"
"Thank you."
Chabashira had just picked up her teacup.
When she saw Amane had already put down the teapot.
The two looked at each other.
Amane even blinked.
Then her face turned a little red.
"Hehe, Chabashira-sensei, don't look at me like that."
"..."
Chabashira was truly speechless about Amane.
Her original target was Horikita.
Amane, this person whose depths she couldn't fathom, was not part of her plan.
However, she was also curious about Amane's interview evaluation.
So she called her over as well.
Unfortunately, Chabashira couldn't see any overlap, even a tiny shadow, between Amane and the description on the interview evaluation card that spoke of 'excellent to almost perfect interview abilities.'
These were completely two different people, weren't they?
Chabashira even began to suspect that Amane in front of her was an imposter who had taken someone else's place to enroll.
"Miyako-san, how about we talk about your pre-enrollment interview?"
At the mention of this, Amane's gaze became a little evasive.
"Of course, Chabashira-sensei, please ask."
Chabashira noticed that Amane's tone, intonation, and even her demeanor were changing to an incredible degree.
"In the enrollment interview, the interviewer gave you a very high evaluation, even stating that your overall ability ranked first among your peers. But why were you placed in Class D, Miyako-san?"
Chabashira-sensei asked, her words meant to cut deep.
She wanted to see Amane's mindset about being so excellent yet placed in Class D, considered a defective product.
"Because I'm trash. It's perfectly normal for trash students to gather under a trash teacher, isn't it, Chabashira-sensei?"
Amane smiled.
Her gaze playfully watched Chabashira Sae's face turn crimson with anger.
