"Huh? How does Hiratsuka-sensei know?"
"The only student that Kirisu-sensei would care about is Hyakuri."
"That's true, but I still find Hiratsuka-sensei's statement strange..."
“It’s normal for teachers to pay attention to students. Besides, I heard that Baili hasn’t been to school for a while, and neither the dean of students nor the principal has done anything about it. That proves that the kid might be from a rich family somewhere.”
Students from privileged backgrounds have special privileges.
This is perfectly normal.
However, Kirisu Mafuyu has a different opinion.
"They might have run into trouble..."
At this point, Kirisu Mafuyu took out the report that was placed at the bottom of the form.
“In the past, some students at the school have missed classes for various reasons, such as illness, bullying, or other reasons, so I want to investigate this matter.”
"I can't rule out the situations you mentioned. Of course, aside from being bullied, I don't think anyone can bully Baili."
Hiratsuka Shizuka had seen many students and encountered many delinquents, so she could tell at a glance that Hyakuri was not someone to be trifled with.
"What do you think is the reason, Hiratsuka-sensei?"
There are many reasons why someone might not want to go to school; maybe they just want to play.
"Students' primary responsibility is to study. How can they skip class just to have fun? That won't do!"
As she said this, Kirisu Mafuyu clenched her fist.
She stood up and said...
“I have Baili’s information here, and I know where he lives. I didn’t have time to prepare lessons before, but the classes have slowed down these past two days, so I have to find out the details!”
"You mean you're going to do a home visit?"
“That’s right, Hiratsuka-sensei. I called this morning, but Hyakusato’s answer was the same as before: there are still some things to deal with. A student encountering so many problems might be due to family changes or something like that… If a teacher can help, then they shouldn’t stand idly by.”
So exciting...
Hiratsuka Shizuka mentally evaluated the teacher in front of her.
So she put all her course schedule, books, pens, and homework on her desk into the drawer.
"OK, let's go."
"Let's go? Hiratsuka-sensei is coming too?"
"Yes, I'm very curious about what that boy was doing."
Upon hearing the reason given by Hiratsuka Shizuka, Kirisu Mafuyu felt it was somewhat casual.
But she knew that Hiratsuka Shizuka had a good reputation at school, especially for those troublesome students, whom she was good at disciplining.
"I understand. Let's go together, Hiratsuka-sensei."
"Hmm, do you have a specific address? Let me see."
"it's here."
Kirisu Mafuyu handed over a form containing the students' addresses.
Although it's a private message, it should be fine to show it to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Having confirmed the location, Hiratsuka Shizuka took out her phone to check.
“Walking... impossible. It only takes twenty minutes to get to the station, or about fifteen minutes by taxi.”
"Then let's take a taxi."
"Are you so anxious?"
"Because I care a lot..."
Kirisu Mafuyu didn't want to waste any more time.
Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded, and the two left the school together.
Before heading to the station to hail a taxi, Kirisu Mafuyu looked toward a confectionery shop located next to a coffee shop.
"Should we bring some snacks with us?"
"Are you planning to use food to open up the students?"
"I have this idea... because Hyakuri-kun has been giving me the runaround, and he's probably hiding something; besides, Hiratsuka-sensei said that sweets can make people happy, so maybe after eating some delicious food, he'll be more willing to talk."
"Yes, I recommend red wine pudding."
"Does it contain alcohol?"
Kirisu Mafuyu walked towards the confectionery shop.
She bent down to examine the merchandise in the shop window.
Most of them are very delicate and look delicious.
Smelling the creamy aroma wafting from the store, Kirisu Mafuyu ultimately chose an eight-inch cake adorned with various fruits.
Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was traveling with me, took a break and bought two drinks at a nearby coffee shop.
A cup of coffee, and a cup of black tea with a little milk.
"Teacher Kirisu, here's your black tea."
"Thank you... How did you know I've been liking this lately, Hiratsuka-sensei?"
"You've been drinking it during your breaks at the office, haven't you? I used to like it too, but I've recently switched to a different flavor."
After finishing this conversation, Kirisu Mafuyu accepted the drink.
How much does it cost?
"No need to pay, it's on me."
"This won't do, Hiratsuka-sensei..."
"It's okay. After all, I'm the one who went with you to find Baili this time. If it were me... I would have to apply for a special application since I'm not a student in my class."
"So... Hiratsuka-sensei also has something to discuss with Hyakusato-kun?"
That's right.
Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded.
He has been observing this period of time.
Yukino Yukinoshita has changed a lot since she met Hyakuri.
Hiratsuka Shizuka doesn't think Yukino's personality is twisted; she just feels that Yukino's way of dealing with people is too direct.
It's easy to hurt yourself, and it's easy to hurt others.
After the Mysterious Research Club and the Service Club collaborated, Yukino seemed to become much more worldly-wise at school.
Yui Yuigahama, who occasionally goes out with Yukino, confirmed this to Shizuka Hiratsuka.
The person who can change Yukino...
This kind of person is not simple.
"Then let's go to the station."
Carrying pastries and holding a cup of black tea, Kirisu Mafuyu walked towards the station.
The two soon arrived at their destination.
After throwing the empty teacup into the trash can, Kirisu Mafuyu double-checked the exact location of Hyakusato's residence.
"It's just ahead, the apartment on your left."
Kirisu Mafuyu looks ahead.
"It's very impressive."
Her gaze fell on the apartment to her left, about ten meters away, and Hiratsuka Shizuka gave a soft assessment.
The two of them walked over together. (Read exciting novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
The apartment is a standalone building with no neighbors around.
Moreover, the yard looks very large, and judging from its condition, it is maintained every day.
"Bai Li, classmate!"
Standing at the door, Kirisu Mafuyu called out, while simultaneously putting down her things and taking out her phone to make a call.
Before she could even open her contacts, Kirisu Mafuyu found herself surrounded by several girls who had suddenly appeared around her.
They were all dressed as maids...
"Huh? What?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the maids who had gathered around her.
Having learned martial arts, Hiratsuka Shizuka assumed a fighting stance while asking the people around her questions.
"Who are you...? The Maid Legion?"
Receiving no answer, the maids immediately rushed forward.
As Kirisu Mafuyu was captured, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who tried to resist, was also immediately subdued, proving to be no match for these people.
Then--
The two were dragged into the Baili Apartment building, and their clothes were stripped off.
"No, no! Baili! Baili!"
"Let me go! Baili! Is this your maid? Or... Hey! Don't touch me like that! Ahh!"
"Well……!!"
Neither Kirisu Mafuyu nor Hiratsuka Shizuka could resist.
Stripped naked, they finally arrived at a room, and then—
The maids skillfully helped the two of them change into maid outfits as well.
