"Knock knock knock!!" The two people and two dolls arrived at Kamijou Touma's door. Yoshino, as the representative, stepped forward and knocked.
Faint sounds of movement came from inside. Everyone began to look around at the surrounding buildings. It was a bit like an apartment building, as expected of Academy City.
When Yoshino used to go to school, they wouldn't set up a room just for one student; several people would share a room with bunk beds.
There were no bathrooms or bathtubs! So, wasn't this like a two-dimensional world? Even students had such good treatment, or was it because housing prices in Japan weren't very expensive?
"Coming~ May I ask who it is?" Mr. Kamijou, who had run to open the door out of curiosity, wondered who would be visiting his house.
The usual newspaper hawkers had already come yesterday. Tsuchimikado Motoharu or Blue Earrings were out of the question. Who could it be?
There were other people at home now, and they were very important.
"Excuse me, is it..." Mr. Kamijou, looking downcast, saw the beautiful girls outside his door and his voice slowly trailed off, his pupils widening as he looked at the group outside.
Isn't this the kind Miss Yoshino whom Mr. Kamijou had met before? And the very scary Miss Saten Ruiko.
What's going on? Has Mr. Kamijou's luck turned today, or has he become even unluckier? Kamijou Touma froze on the spot, caught between these two options.
"It's not good etiquette to keep guests waiting outside the door, Mr. Kamijou Touma. You're being very impolite."
This was a voice he hadn't heard before, a girl's voice, like that of a Little Girl before puberty.
And it was the kind of voice that, just by hearing it, you knew belonged to a beautiful girl, but why couldn't he see anyone?
"I'm below you, what an impolite person. Didn't your teacher teach you these basic manners?"
How rude, he didn't even notice such a beautiful girl like me, what a terrible man.
..." No, it's normal that Mr. Kamijou didn't see you since you're so small. Don't look at me like that, it's a lot of pressure.
"Coming, coming! Who's talking bad about me, your teacher? I've always taught Little Kamijo good manners~"
Suddenly, a sickly sweet voice came from Kamijou Touma's room. With Shiina's rich experience, she knew it was a loli's voice.
And when this loli appeared before everyone, they saw her full appearance. She was a girl in a pink dress with pink hair. It seems you always have a lot of admirers, Mr. Kamijou.
"Oh my, I didn't expect so many cute girls to visit Little Kamijo's house today. Little Kamijo, really, why are you making the girls stand outside holding things? Hurry up and invite everyone in." After scolding Kamijou Touma, she pulled everyone into his house.
Toujou Nozomi kept looking at this girl. If she hadn't misheard just now, this Little Girl said she was a teacher? She didn't mishear, did she?
This person, who was even more of a loli than Yazawa Nico, practically an infant, was a teacher? Did Academy City allow the hiring of child labor?
"You're too kind, bringing so many groceries for me, Mr. Kamijou. I'm truly grateful to you all."
Kamijou Touma took the bag from Saten Ruiko's hand and looked inside curiously. When he saw it was groceries, he immediately knelt on the ground.
You're like my second parents! You really understand me; he desperately needed these things for living!
"Alright, don't be like that, Little Kamijo. As Little Kamijo's teacher, I thank you for your concern. I'm also very troubled by Little Kamijo's perpetually unlucky constitution."
She stroked her cheek with her right hand, feeling truly troubled.
'Because of Little Kamijo's misfortune, I, your teacher, have been seen naked so many times.' This was a resentment from before. So, for Kamijou Touma, was this misfortune or good luck?
"H-hello, Teacher. I-I'm Yoshino. Please take care of me." Yoshino stammered a greeting. This was a teacher who looked like she was in her twenties, but seeing her in person made it hard to believe.
"Oh! What a cute child. Hello, I'm Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng, Little Kamijo's teacher. Please take care of me."
Her eyes lit up as she looked at the cute Yoshino, then came over and stroked Yoshino's little head. But why did this scene look like a child pretending to be an adult?
"I am this child's family. My name is Toujou Nozomi. Due to special reasons, I cannot appear in person to meet you, Teacher. I am truly sorry."
Toujou Nozomi, with elegant manners, greeted Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng. Now she could confirm that she really was a teacher. Had this world developed an elixir of immortality?
"Oh no, it's alright. I understand you." In Academy City, what kind of situations hadn't happened? This inability to meet in person was no longer strange to her.
"Hello, Teacher. I'm Saten Ruiko from Tsuchimikado Middle School. I wanted to ask, are you, Teacher Komoe, one of Academy City's Seven Mysteries, the teacher who never grows up?"
Saten Ruiko, who had been staring at Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng, said to her. Saten Ruiko, who was particularly interested in urban legends, blurted it out. So, this wasn't false; it was real?
"I'm also very troubled, Teacher, but it's alright; I've gotten used to it."
Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng waved her hand. People had always asked her about this kind of thing, and she had also looked into urban legends. Let them talk; she was already used to it.
"I, your teacher, am an expert in various fields of psychology, such as social psychology, environmental psychology, behavioral psychology, and traffic psychology. The subject I teach is chemistry, so don't underestimate me, your teacher!"
I'm very impressive, you children. I'm much, much more capable than you are now.
"So amazing!" For them, who were still high school and middle school students, experts like this were in a field they couldn't possibly reach. A sense of admiration spontaneously arose in their hearts.
"Hehe! So you can't underestimate adults." Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng felt very pleased by their admiring gazes. Come and worship me!
"Hmm~ Is this Kamijou-senpai's house? It's different from what I imagined; it's very clean. It's not at all messy like the books say."
Saten Ruiko said after looking around the room. Generally, a boy's room should be dirty and messy.
"Haha~ I, Mr. Kamijou, clean the room carefully when I have time." Kamijou Touma said as he brought out tea from the kitchen to entertain his guests.
He was quite confident about the cleanliness of his home. Because he didn't have much money, he couldn't buy many things to put in his house. So, it ended up being as tidy as it was now. What misfortune!
"But what I'm more curious about is whether there's anything under Mr. Kamijou's bed. After all, he's a boy."
Following Toujou Nozomi's plan, Saten Ruiko went under Mr. Kamijou's bed and started looking for something. Mr. Kamijou's face instantly turned pale when he saw this. Not there... No!!!
"This is... as expected. It seems he really is a boy." A blushing Saten Ruiko pulled out a box containing magazines. What met her eyes was a large-breasted woman wearing lingerie in a seductive pose.
Saten Ruiko's face immediately turned red, while Yoshino's eyes were covered by Toujou Nozomi. She hadn't expected such things without even needing to make an appearance herself. And Kamijou Touma's teacher was also here. It seemed the outcome was quite satisfying.
Kamijou Touma's face grew paler and paler as he saw Tsukuyomi Moon-Meng's expression darken. Mr. Kamijou felt that any explanation he offered now would be useless. If Teacher Komoe were to exaggerate this matter when he went to school tomorrow... And Yoshino, who had always had a good impression of him, had now seen this scene. He really was... "What misfortune!!!!"
Why did it turn out like this?
