The day ended quickly.
Since today was Friday, everyone was clearly in a much better mood.
The weekend was just around the corner, two days of rest ahead, which was bound to be fun.
"Alright, that's it for today's class."
Hiratsuka knocked on the desk. "Like I said, don't go overboard; we're not on vacation yet!"
"By the way, what does Hiratsuka-sensei usually do on the weekends?"
"There's no need to say it; she's definitely busy going on blind dates or shopping."
"I think blind dates are more likely. Even though Hiratsuka-sensei is really beautiful, I heard her age is—"
"Hm?"
Hiratsuka turned around. The girl shuddered and quickly covered her mouth.
At that moment, Hiratsuka seemed to exude a dark and unpleasant aura, and a strong sense of resentment slowly spread.
Did they think she wanted to go on blind dates all the time?
What was wrong with getting older!
Even if they knew, how could they dare discuss it in front of her?
How should she fix this?
Hiratsuka opened her textbook again.
"The class is supposed to be over in a few minutes. Suddenly, I remembered there's still a section of material I haven't covered. Open your textbooks, let's continue."
"Eh? No..."
"How could this happen... I even made plans with my best friend to go shopping."
"..."
Several girls couldn't help but cry out, looking upset and frustrated.
Haruto took out his phone and wasn't in a hurry.
One thing that had to be said, Hiratsuka only needed to dress up a bit, and she would be a stunning woman with a super figure, turning heads when walking down the street.
Haruto had once seen Hiratsuka in a dress and skirt.
She was leaning against a sports car, bending one leg, and slowly blowing out a puff of smoke under the streetlight.
Hiratsuka at that moment would score at least a solid 95!
Hiratsuka put on a serious face. "Stop talking nonsense and get to it!"
After ten minutes passed.
She finally left with a flat expression. If she didn't teach these people a lesson, they'd definitely dare to do it again next time.
Hiratsuka wasn't happy, and her mood worsened when she remembered there was a blind date tonight, so she decided to go shopping with Mafuyu later and drink again.

Haruto put his phone away and left the classroom with Itsuki.
As the afternoon passed, Itsuki had calmed down and now referred to Haruto as the "ahoge hair fetishist."
They left the classroom together and saw Miku looking over. Itsuki glanced at Haruto and whispered, "I'm going ahead, Kuromori-kun, see you tomorrow."
"Mm."
Miku glanced at Haruto and muttered, "Reckless Kuromori, see you tomorrow."
Haruto kept a straight face, reached out his hand, and poked her.
"Ah~"
Miku yelped and immediately jumped away, like a frightened little rabbit.
Itsuki looked back curiously. "Miku, what's wrong with you?"
"N-Nothing." Miku lowered her head, raised her hand to tidy the hair around her ears, looked at Haruto with embarrassment and irritation, then bit her lip and muttered to herself: "I just got scared by a bug."
"Eh?" Itsuki's eyes fell to the ground, and she asked hesitantly, "Was it the black bug with two antennae?"
"Mm."
"I've heard some people catch cockroaches and deep-fry them to eat. They're really high in protein, and I've heard they taste quite good…"
Miku: "As expected from you, Itsuki."
Itsuki puffed her cheeks slightly, displeased: "Cockroaches aren't scary at all!"
"Also, I don't want to eat a cockroach!"
Miku hit the nail on the head: "But you're curious, aren't you?"
Itsuki fell silent.
It was only natural to be curious about something you've never eaten before.
Besides, there are many kinds of cockroaches, and some are even bred for consumption!
Haruto cleared his throat lightly: "Okay, okay, this topic is over."
He could only say that Itsuki was truly a foodie.
It had to be said that humans are incredibly resilient. From ancient times to now, everything that swims in the water, flies in the sky, or runs on the ground… humans have dared to eat it!
Some netizens even joked that the Classic of Mountains and Seas was actually a recipe book!
"..."
Haruto was walking behind the two sisters when his phone suddenly vibrated.
After answering the call, Mafuyu's voice came through: "Haruto-kun, I'm sorry, Shizuka is in a bad mood and asked me to go drink with her. I couldn't refuse."
"Yeah, I understand."
Haruto could probably guess why Hiratsuka was in a bad mood.
It wasn't because of being teased by her students; Hiratsuka's character wasn't that petty. Even if she wasn't happy, she'd quickly forget once her anger passed.
What likely put Hiratsuka in a bad mood was the blind date she had planned for tonight. Calling Mafuyu was probably her way of escaping in time.
For example, during dinner, she could ask Mafuyu to call, then Shizuka could say goodbye and leave under the pretense of having something to do. This method was quite common on blind dates.
After all, they're strangers, so why stay and chat awkwardly?
In most cases, men would understand and not say anything.
Mafuyu whispered, "Alright... I wanted to ask if you could help me move some cardboard boxes from the principal's office to the utility room."
Haruto asked, "Do you need me to come with you?"
Even though Hiratsuka would be there, and there was no need to worry about safety, what if she got in a bad mood and drank too much?
The possibility was quite high!
Besides, Mafuyu, with her gentle personality and tendency to praise others, was really adorable!
"NO."
After hesitating for a moment, Mafuyu softly said: "Don't worry, I won't drink too much. If anything happens, I'll call you."
"Alright, then I'll come pick you up."
"Mm."
After ending the call, Hiratsuka's voice could be heard: "Mafuyu, are you done with your call? Did you get approval?"
Mafuyu's heart tightened, and she pretended to be calm as she said, "Shizuka, what are you talking about!"
Hiratsuka smirked, shook her head, and said, "It's fine, let's go!"
She had done what she needed to do.
They were all adults, and it was time to take responsibility for their own actions.
So, just one reminder.
If she kept reminding them, it would definitely be bothersome.
There's a saying that goes, "Good advice is harsh to the ear" and it's actually true.
Anyone can say nice things, but not everyone likes to hear them.
Moreover, behavior that forces your will on others under the guise of "I'm doing this for your own good" is even more excessive.
Hiratsuka had actually noticed a few things she had previously overlooked and realized that the relationship between Mafuyu and Haruto might not be as simple as she had initially thought.
Therefore, she didn't care anymore.
As long as they didn't mess around at Sobu High School, she could turn a blind eye to everything else.
