Nobody knows about my Girlfriend Teacher’s and My Christmas
I left the hotel, and walked through the streets, all alone. Nui mentioned she’ll sleep in that hotel room. The normal Nui would have invited me to sleep there with her. I guess she had already accepted this result, and thus didn’t press me any further. I did feel sad about that—but I knew that this was just selfish. I can’t miss spending time with her now that she has drawn a conclusion.
“………” I pushed up the scarf around my neck, burying my face inside of it.
This scarf was actually Nui’s Christmas present. She said it wasn’t too expensive, but it definitely warned me up, and was comfortable to touch. It was plain as day that this must have cost a lot, and made me realize how strong Nui’s feelings were for me. I actually felt bad for giving her some fake glasses as a present.
From President Karen, I got a cap, from Kuu I got gloves, and Nui gave me a scarf. On top of that, Shiya-chan chose this coat, and Miharu gave me the body bag. It’s like the entirety of SID coordinated my clothes…Now I’m starting to feel regrets after all.
“Phew…” I breath escaped my lips, colored snow white.
Yet, there was no snow falling. This was the holy night where the three girls who had feelings for me gave their farewells. It would be perfect if it actually snowed now, but the heavens apparently didn’t feel like playing along. And, as I didn’t have any place to return to, wandering aimlessly through the street—a red fiat appeared.
I want to go somewhere I can be alone with Maka-sensei.
Why did I say something careless and impulsive like that? I was always careful so that the distance between us wouldn’t get too close. Or, is that really the case? I might have complained all the time, but deep down, wasn’t I enjoying my time with her? I mean, she’s a super beauty, and basically lives only for her ‘education’ with me. Since I’m a healthy high school boy, there’s no way I wouldn’t enjoy getting such attention from someone like her. If anything, it’s weird to think I didn’t cross the line with her yet.
“Today you’re not only stylish, but also calm. What a rare Saigi-kun I happened to catch.” Skillfully controlling the fiat, Maka-sensei gave me a glance.
“…Do I usually talk that much?”
“The teachers have their talk about you, from middle school to now. Hoshina-sensei even praised you for that, while growing pale.”
“…Did I really trouble Hoshina-sensei that much?”
If anything, I feel like it wouldn’t be weird for her to hate me. I’d love to get an excel file of Maka-sensei where it shows all the badmouthing the teachers are doing about me.
“It’s fine, your current homeroom teacher will teach you until the very end, no matter how troublesome you may be.”
“So you’re not denying it. Then again, I’m mostly aware of it.”
“Yes. Remember, I still have work tomorrow, so I can’t play along too much.”
“Teachers really don’t have any Christmas, huh.”
Is this some kind of bullying so that young teachers can’t enjoy Christmas?
“It really seems like I shouldn’t become a teacher at Seikadai.”
“My, what a shame. Whatever school you might choose—No, society in general won’t allow you to enjoy Christmas. In most cases, it’s a normal weekday.”
“Guess I should enjoy Christmas while I still can, huh.”
“Didn’t you have fun today? Going on dates with three girls, feeling like a popular guy for once.”
“…It was fun…But…”
For some reason, the words wouldn’t come out. Even the usual talkative Saigi-kun seems to have times where he can’t speak properly.
“Take your time. You have the look like you want to talk about something.”
“That’s Sensei for you…you saw right through me.”
I don’t think today is something I should talk about, but my heart is forcing me to speak up.
“Please, listen to what I have to say, Sensei. First—what happened at the cloister.”
“Yes, I’m listening. I’m driving extra carefully so that you don’t go screaming like you always do.”
“Why thank you…”
It’s true that she was keeping her driving under control today, which makes it easier to talk. Otherwise I’d be shaken left and right. While watching the Christmas scenery blow past me outside the window, I spoke of the dates today. But, only about what happened at the facility and cloister, the cat cafe, and hotel. I can’t tell her what we did in detail after all…And, I’ll pretend I didn’t see her eyebrow twitch when I said the word ‘hotel’.
W-We didn’t do anything indecent in there! Nui was naked? I’ll take that secret to the grave with me. And, it’s not necessary information either. Rather, I spoke of SID’s future plans.
“Well, I knew about it.”
Those were Maka-sensei’s words after I was done speaking. Well, I figured as much. Knowing Maka-sensei, the changes of her being aware of this were extremely high after all.
“The other students don’t know of Jinsho-san’s plans yet, but it’s quite the topic between the teachers. This will be the first time a student will actually study overseas like that, not to mention that a famous university.”
“I guess I wasn’t doubtful enough. I thought it was weird for Karen-senpai to be called to the student guidance counselling, even though she had already decided on her path in the future.”
“Even then you get called in at times. There’s quite a few who change their mind mid-way. In Jinsho-san’s case, the school was the one who brought up this possible change. Apparently, they were planning on having students study overseas like that. Now that someone with such good grades has arrived, they saw their chance.”
“I feel like you would need to talk about that much earlier than they did it now.”
As far as I know, her plans had been to stay at Seikadai this summer. To think in these past few months, her life would change that much…I guess this is the ‘hope’ Sister Eva talked about.
“It wasn’t much, but I gave Jinsho-san some advice as well. I knew a few things about the school over there.”
“That reminds me, you also went overseas to study, right…”
“For me it was only short-term though, so my case is different from Jinsho-san. It was a different university from Seikadai as well. When I was in high school, Seikadai didn’t offer anything like that.”
“You got the first spot in the national mock exam after all. If there was something like that, they would have surely offered that.”
“There’s no big difference between second or third place. However, I’m not too sure if I would have accepted it either way.”
“Eh? I feel like that would have opened up your future prospects quite a bit if you accepted that.”
“It’s not that simple. Not to mention that I wouldn’t have gotten to be there for their moment of death.”
“…I guess that makes sense.”
I didn’t even need to ask who she was talking about—Fuuka Shiki-sensei. I never asked when she passed away, but since Maka-sensei has her fiat, it was probably after she graduated from high school.
“And then, I wouldn’t have gotten to meet Saigi-kun—No, actually, Keimi-san might have come chase me, and would have taken you with her. Then it might have been an even more romantic encounter! I’m sure!”
“………”
That is some strong mentality…I feel like no matter what kind of path she chose, we would have probably ran into each other.
“But, we were talking about Jinsho-san. It makes sense that she would accept this offer, I don’t think a chance like this will ever come again.”
“…Right.”
“Your face says that you’re not satisfied yet. However, this is something she has decided on herself.”
That’s right. I understand the logic. She should choose the future that is most promising for her. But, even if I get it—
“As for Amanashi-san, she came to ask me for advice.”
“…Yes, she mentioned that as well.”
“In her case…I can’t agree. Seikadadi is a great school, and I want her to work hard at least until graduation.”
Only one more year…However, that one year will be difficult for Nui. Normally, we should have had our university life together, for the next five years.
“However, if Amanashi-san has chosen this option, then I will support her. Even if she may be a problem child, I am her teacher after all.”
“…Yes. It’s just, I’m more worried about Nui than Karen-senpai.”
After all, Karen-senpai is much further away from me. Even if the school accepts her circumstances as an entertainer, will she really make it through the school terms? And, can she even make it in this harsh business? Nui is way too honest for her own good after all…
“I’ll try my best to gather some information even after she transferred schools, and let you know.”
“W-Will you do that?”
That’s quite reassuring. I just feel like Nui won’t even bother to contact me herself.
“However, since Muku-san is in grade school, I can’t do anything about that.”
“Hmm…I have a feeling that Kuu won’t move after all.”
“Why do you think so?”
“Kuu still seemed unsure about it. Kouko-sensei might be spoiling her quite a bit, but her father is even worse in that. He would surely be lonely without the two, but he deeply respects Kuu’s opinion.”
“I see. I’m sure they would regret taking Muku-san away from this school she worked so hard for to get into. Transferring from a private school isn’t that easy as well.”
“Eh, really?”
“If you want to transfer from a private school to another, there’s several conditions. For example, you need the permission of the previous school. And, if there’s nobody dropping out of the private school, you won’t even be accepted as a transfer student. I doubt her parents put her into Seikadai only to let her attend a public school now.”
“Well, I guess they were thinking about Kuu’s future.”
I don’t remember much from the time Kuu got her entrance exams for Seikadai’s Grade School Division. She’s clever, so I doubt many problems happened. But, just letting her leave elsewhere in uncertainty is also…
“Also…we have the elevator in Seikadai, so leaving that would be a waste…I guess…”
“If Muku-san keeps up her studies as she does now, she will surely make it up to Seikadai’s university, and I don’t think that her parents would want her to go through the pain of entrance exams elsewhere.”
“…I guess that makes sense.”
Way too many things happened tonight, I’m glad there’s at least some faint hope. Well, there’s no guarantee that Kuu might actually stay here. This is something she and her family have to decide on, so I can’t step in. But…I feel a bit relieved.
“Maka-sensei.”
“Yes?”
“Before, you said that we don’t have much time anymore, right?”
“That makes it sound like I’m about to die. I guess I should have been more careful in my choice of words. But, what about it?”
“I guess that members of SID didn’t have much time either. Kuu might be staying, or going far away. However, Karen-senpai and Nui are two that I won’t be able to see again. At the very least, not that easily.”
“Amanashi-san will surely have to move, and become unavailable through the new school, and her work. They will surely prepare a new place for her to stay at.”
“Ah…I see…”
Hearing it this bluntly, it was quite the shock. I never thought about it. Even though I tend to think about everything that comes my way, I must have subconsciously stopped myself from considering that.
“Saigi-kun, are you angry?”
“Eh?…About what?”
“About the fact that I kept quiet concerning Jinsho-san and Amanashi-san’s case.”
“I knew that you weren’t the type of person to just leak personal information like that.”
This is what I truly felt. I knew that Maka-sensei did the right thing.
“That makes it easier for me.”
“I know how diligent you are about these sorts of things, Maka-sensei.”
Then again, there’s way too many things I still don’t know about. But, I do know that she isn’t a bad person.
“…Sensei. Maka-sensei.”
While looking outside the window—I wasn’t even gazing at the scenery. I was merely focussed on the idiotic me reflected in the window.
“I was always on the receiving end of SID. They suddenly confessed, and approached me all seriously like that. But, in the end…”
The gravure idol photoshoot with Nui at the old school building, Kuu running away from her family, stranded at our place, President Karen coloring her hair blonde and causing a ruckus at school, Miharu suddenly applying as student council president, Shiya-chan and her lingering regrets from her high school days—trouble was always right around me, and yet…
“I had fun. Even if I was troubled, I enjoyed every moment.”
The only person I should be angry at is myself for not realizing this sooner. But, I don’t even have the energy to be angry.
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“…Eh?”
“I’m sure that, once you look back on your high school days in a few years—it’ll be thanks to everyone from SID that you will be able to smile.” Maka-sensei sounded awfully calm.
Is she…jealous of me, because she had lost her own high school days?
“That reminds me, Sensei. Are you sure not defeating everyone from SID?”
“To them, I was a last boss of sorts. Without me, their choices might have been different.”
“So you won without fighting…”
“We were always fighting, day by day. From how I can see it, they were very strong.”
I don’t think she was putting up an act. I know how much hostility she held towards SID.
“I don’t know if I won or not. There’s still one person left.”
I know that she was busy with work, but Maka-sensei still kept silent this entire time. She might have been considerate because she knew that this was the last time I could spend with Karen-senpai and Nui.
“The last boss always shows superiority until the final battle. There’s also times where the adventurers end up at a game over before they arrive at the Demon Lord’s throne room. I’m feeling lonely there.”
“………”
With this, Maka-sensei’s battle against SID is over. Kuu is still left, but I doubt things will stay the same.
“Anyway, we’re here.”
“Yes…Wait, why here?!”
The fiat drove towards its destination. To think she would take me here…
“Welcome to my castle!”
“……”
On the second floor of the second school building, there was a room ⅓ of a normal classroom’s size, four desks in the center to create a circle. Most people know this as the English Preparation Room of Seikadai.
“Is it really okay for you to take a student here this late?”
“Of course not. If we get caught, everything is over.”
“E-Everything…!”
It was a lot of trouble just to get to this room, as I had to hide in the back of the fiat until we made it to the parking lot, and while walking through the school, I had to be careful of security cameras, making me feel like I was playing some stealth game. Well, Maka-sensei knew of those, so it wasn’t actually that hard, but I was still scared.
“Also, did you already finish your work, Sensei?”
“I went for a drive to get some food and change of pace. I didn’t expect to spot you there.”
So the two of us really are bound together by destiny…Maybe we really might have ran into each other overseas.
“Ah, did you eat dinner already, Saigi-kun?”
“Not yet…I’m not too hungry, to be honest. I had some great chicken this afternoon.”
“You have to eat something, although I won’t force you.” Maka-sensei stood in front of her desk, and pushed away the documents.
They’re probably all documents I shouldn’t be seeing.
“Even though there’s no endless rain, why does there have to be endless work?”
“No, your work will end one day!”
There was also a laptop on her desk, with countless windows open where it wouldn’t be weird to freeze up any second. Next to it, the mountain of documents. It’s a clear battlefield.
“I mean, no matter how busy you are, you should be able to go home, right? Especially now that the second term has ended.”
Are teachers not allowed to breathe or something?
“I can take a break if I want to, but then it’ll be tough schedule-wise.”
“That sounds depressing if you ask me.”
“Saigi-kun…there are times when you have to work further than the last train goes.”
“Can we stop this conversation already?”
It makes me want to cry.
“I do think that I’m the only one working this late. Hiyori-sensei escaped before school even closed. She promised she’d go through this hell together with me…You idiot1!”
“I-I figure that she went on a date. She seems to be married as well.”
“Married? Hiyori-sensei is single.”
“Ehhh!? B-but, that ring on her finger…?”
“I don’t know myself. There’s a legend that says someone put it on her as a prank, and she can’t remove it.”
“That’s impossible.”
But, knowing Renku Hiyori-sensei, that might just be the case.
“On a side note, Hihyori-sensei left this here.”
“…What a wonderful present.”
Next to Maka-sensei’s desk stood a small Christmas tree. I guess she was trying to cheer up Sensei because she had to work during Christmas?
“That reminds me, Hiyori-sensei will take over her family’s business after working here for a few years. Though, I don’t know what this family business is.”
“Huh…Becoming a teacher here must have been tough.”
“I’ve known Hiyori-sensei ever since our high school days, but once that happens, we won’t be able to see each other that often anymore.”
“……..”
I feel like Maka-sensei is trying to teach me something. She probably didn’t bring me to school for her own convenience. There was something for me to learn here, and she’s giving me hints as to what that is.
“Since you’re used to the elevator system here at Seikadai, it probably never really set in for you, but human relationships change and evolve on a constant basis. It’s not rare for you to lose someone special to you.”
“…Right…I guess I was too childish.”
I’ve never experienced saying farewell to someone important to me. I mean, with Kouko-sensei, and the gal from middle school, I got to meet them again so easily. However, Maka-sensei experienced farewells twice already. The first time when her parents divorced, she was separated by her mother and little sister. And—when her former teacher left this world behind.
“Maybe it’s because I’m a child…that I can’t stand this.” I sat down on a nearby chair.
I’ve come this far, but even standing alone was too tough for me. I didn’t expect to be this shocked.
“Karen-senpai, Kuu, Nui…I don’t want them to leave me. I thought we’d always stay at Seikadai. But, those were just my selfish thoughts…and everyone already decided on the path they wanted to take…”
“…Saigi-kun.” Maka-sensei gave me a glance, and closed her laptop.
She walked towards me, and stopped a few inches from my face.
“Hey, Maka-sensei. Whenever some trouble happened, I would act behind the scenes, and feel gratified when helping someone. But, in the end I was just playing around.”
“The people you saved were all thankful.”
“But, when a situation like this happens, then even I can’t do anything. It makes me realize how much of a brat I am.”
“Jinsho-san and the others aren’t gone yet, Saigi-kun.”
“Should I chase Karen-senpai to the airport, and act up some emotional ‘Don’t go’ speech? Should I go out with Nui, and announce that ‘I’m her boyfriend’ in an official video so that her career gets ruined? Can I really tell Kuu to ‘Stay with me’, hoping that she will convince her parents that she can stay here?”
“It might be worth trying that out.” Maka-sensei showed an earnest nod.
“…I was joking. I can’t do that just because I treasure them. I’m scared of the responsibility of destroying their futures for my own sake.”
I’m a child after all. Scared of changing someone else’s life, watching the people important to me leave.
“That’s enough, Saigi-kun.”
“……!”
Maka-sensei put her hands on my cheeks, pressing her lips on mine. They were soft, and still a bit cold because we were just outside.
“There doesn’t need to be some dramatic conclusion. It’s not because you’re a child. Everybody eventually runs into a wall. That still happens as an adult.”
“…I guess I should give up, right.”
Maka-sensei embraced me, gently enough to suck me in. Her waist was so slender it had me worried. Does she even have any organs inside of that body?
“Was it…the same for you as well, Sensei?”
“When I lost my mother and Tenka, I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t leave my father all alone.”
As a result, she received sympathy as a ‘poor child’.
“The same was the case with Fuuka-sensei. I couldn’t do anything about it.” Maka-sensei gently tapped me on my back.
Was it just my imagination, or was her hand slightly quivering?
“Despite raising her fist against all the delinquents at school, she said she wanted to teach until she turned into an old lady…Even though she wasn’t even that good at teaching, she said it so confidently…and then all of a sudden…”
Not only her hand, but her voice was quivering. I realized that I made her go through some traumatic memories because I kept blabbering on like that.
“That’s right, I couldn’t do anything. No matter how precious, how important these people are, there will come a day for them to leave you. There are wishes and dreams that will go unfilled.”
“Should you say that, as a teacher?”
“I’m saying it because i am a teacher.” Maka-sensei spoke indifferently.
However, I could feel a strong weight behind her words, telling me that this was not an illusion.
“As a teacher, there are times when I need to tell my students to give up on something. Even if they end up hating me in the process. I can’t complain about what Hoshina-sensei did with Amanashi-san.”
“I guess so…”
There are times when effort won’t solve all of your problems. And I definitely can’t ruin all of their efforts just because I want to.
“It’s a shame, but that’s my job. I have to make sure that the future of a student is as promising as possible.” Maka-sensei said, gently embracing my back.
So warm…and reassuring.
“Is it…fine to give up? See everyone off with a smile?”
“That’s for you to decide. The best I can do, as your girlfriend teacher, is to comfort you on this night that left you hurt.”
“Maka-sensei…”
Before I realized it, I had taken off the upper part of Maka-sensei’s suit. I think that Maka-sensei let her skirt drop herself.
“Saigi-kun…”
“Maka-sensei…Sensei…”
She’s my girlfriend teacher—neither my girlfriend nor my teacher, a vague existence. I didn’t even prepare a present for her. Not because I didn’t expect to meet her, but rather because I don’t think there’s anything I can give her. I’m always on the receiving end. And yet, my hand wouldn’t stop. It moved towards maka-sensei’s blouse, opening up the buttons.
“Mm…” Maka-sensei let out an embarrassed breath.
Her cleavage appeared, only hidden by her black bra. I swallowed my saliva.
“Sensei…over here…”
“Y-Yes…”
I had Maka-sensei sit down on an empty desk, and I longed for her body as I sat on my chair still.
“You don’t…Mm…need to rush like that…”
“S-Sensei…”
I pushed up her bra, revealing her bare breasts beneath. I’ve seen them countless times before, but today, they looked so beautiful—and erotic. I put my lips on the pink peak on her breasts, and tasted it. To think I would cross the line tonight of all the days.
“Mm…Ah…Haaa…” Maka-sensei desperately tried to hold back her voice.
I just became fully focussed on the tip of Maka-sensei’s breasts, as a suckling sound rang out. Her long legs moved behind me, pulling me closer towards her. She was asking for this as well.
“Saigi-kun…Ah…No…Don’t cling to me like this…”
“I-I can’t Sensei…I can’t anymore…”
Now that the lid opened up, I can’t hold back anymore…Nobody but us was here at school. Even if her phone rang, even if some guard was going around, I don’t care anymore. Right in front of my eyes is the teacher who had continued to tease and invite me ever since this spring. Now that it’s come to this, I don’t feel like stopping.
“Maka-sensei…”
“Saigi-kun…Nn, kiss…”
Maka-sensei lowered her head, allowing us to kiss, with our tongues entangling. We embraced each other again and again, kissed, and I focussed on her chest again. Right now, Maka-sensei had mostly taken off her blouse, as she only wore the black bra, black panties, and stockings. Everything that is in the way, I wanted to remove it. So that I could look at her—my girlfriend teacher’s body more and more.
“Saigi-kun…”
There, I came back to my senses. I could see tears building up in Maka-sensei’s eyes. Was she embarrassed—Or even sacred? I thought about it for a second, but realized just how wrong I had been. Why am I doing this to Maka-sensei? Because her body is overwhelmingly alluring? Of course, that is one aspect. But, more than anything, because I actually—
‘That’s why, if Saigi-kun were to say yes, I will resign as a teacher and atone for that as long as I live.’
The words I heard such a long time ago suddenly replayed inside my head. That’s right. How could I forget? If I were to fall in love with her—No, I had known this all the time, my desires just got the better of me right now.
“Saigi-kun…?”
Maka-sensei seemed confused to see me suddenly stop like that.
“I’m sorry, Sensei…”
“What happened…?”
“I already lost everyone from SID…”
Even if I still have Kuu, and the former members as Miharu and Shiya-chan…I still treasure all of them.
“I don’t want to lose anymore than that. Not Maka-sensei…”
“………” Maka-sensei didn’t respond with anything.
She came down from the desk, and embraced me. It was a different hug from before, overflowing with kindness.
“It’s fine, Saigi-kun…Thank you…”
“This isn’t sympathy, okay. It’s not that I would feel bad if you had to quit as a teacher. Just…” I buried my face in Maka-sensei’s comfortable chest.
Warmth, and a pleasant scent greeted me.
“Even if we don’t have much time left, as long as you stay with me…then I want to treasure this time.”
“As your girlfriend teacher, for as long as time allows it, I will stay with you.”
That’s right. In the end, she’s still a teacher. There will come a day where I won’t be her student anymore. When that time comes, we will stop being teacher and student. I might be able to change the future of everyone from SID, but this one future is something that is written in stone.
If we don’t have much time anymore, then…I want to stay like this, as the two of us. Even if Maka-sensei only gives me kindness. I want to be embraced by her warmth.
Maka-sensei, I definitely can’t say it out loud, but I will accept this. Now that I longed for you as I did before, I can only accept it…although I had known this for a long time.
Maka-sensei, I love you.
