Chapter 308: Unpleasant Memories
While Kirisu went to the bathroom to change her clothes, Hachiman sat in the living room waiting for her.
As a popular teacher at school, Kirisu Mafuyu's room was a hot topic of discussion.
Gorgeous room, Western-style decor, elegant afternoon tea, and so on...
All these appeared in the imagination of the teenage boys.
As the first guest in this room, Hachiman could clearly tell those boys, "You guys are thinking too much."
The overall feeling was just one word: messy.
The floor of the room was littered with scattered textbooks, there was an unfinished box of milk on the TV stand, the bedsheet wasn't neatly folded, and there were many clothes scattered around. Unexpectedly, the popular teacher Mafuyu Kirisu turned out to be so untidy at home. If those boys saw this, their dreams would surely shatter.
At that moment, Kirisu's voice came from the bathroom, "Ah, Hikigaya-kun, is coffee fine?"
"Anything is fine," Hachiman responded.
Before long, Kirisu, wearing a tracksuit, walked over with two cups of coffee.
"Here you go, Hikigaya-kun."
Sitting down, Kirisu handed one cup of coffee to Hachiman.
"Thank you, Mafuyu-sensei." Taking the coffee, Hachiman nodded, then looked at her sportswear, which still had the tag with the name "Kirisu" on it.
"Mafuyu-sensei, this should be your high school sports uniform."
The fact that she could still wear her high school sports uniform indicated that her figure hadn't changed during her university years.
So having such a great figure in high school...
Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but shed tears of envy.
Observing Kirisu's exquisite physique, Hachiman raised an eyebrow.
This physique, even compared to Shizuka, who exercised regularly, was nothing short of impressive. There must have been some form of exercise before.
Seemingly unaware of Hachiman's gaze, Kirisu took a sip of coffee and casually remarked, "Yeah, any objections?"
"N-no objections. Just feel that Mafuyu-sensei now is a bit different from what we see at school."
Though very young, Kirisu always worked hard at school to maintain the dignity of being a teacher and was usually reserved.
But now... there seemed to be a bit more vitality.
"No big deal. Since everything has been seen by you, Hikigaya-kun, I don't bother pretending anymore," Kirisu continued to drink coffee, speaking nonchalantly.
Seeing her act so recklessly, Hachiman couldn't help but smirk.
Hey, what do you mean "everything has been seen by me"? There are still many things I haven't seen.
Cough, it's just not good at tidying up the room, nothing serious.
After taking a sip of coffee, Hachiman relaxed, casually leaning back.
Then he touched a soft fabric.
Taking that piece of fabric in front of his eyes, a black lace bra suddenly revealed itself.
Seeing the bra in Hachiman's hand, Kirisu couldn't maintain her composure this time. She snatched it back, wearing a face displaying a mix of embarrassment and anger.
"What... what are you doing?"
Hachiman shrugged, wearing an innocent expression. "Can't blame me for this. It's all because Mafuyu-sensei, you casually left your intimate clothing lying around."
"This... I..."
Hearing his words, Kirisu stammered, struggling to come up with a rebuttal.
"Anyway, forget about what just happened."
Sorry, I can't forget. My memory is quite good, but I didn't expect Mafuyu-sensei to wear such sexy lingerie.
Passing through his mind with such thoughts, Hachiman nodded on the surface.
"I got it."
Looking at the somewhat messy room, Hachiman thought for a moment before suggesting, "But leaving the room like this isn't a solution. Let me help you tidy up a bit."
Since he had nothing else to do, he considered it an act of kindness.
"Eh?"
Hearing his words, Kirisu hesitated.
As a girl, she naturally didn't want her room to be this messy, but unfortunately, she was terrible at housework and couldn't even tidy up her room properly. Since it had already been exposed to Hikigaya, she thought it might be okay to let him help a bit.
With these thoughts in mind, Kirisu nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Hikigaya-kun."
"No problem, just a small favor." Hachiman smiled and stood up.
"Sensei, you should join in too. Tidying up a room is not that difficult; you'll get the hang of it after a few times."
Hearing his words, Kirisu nodded and stood up as well.
"Sure."
After all, it was her own room, so she should contribute as well. And so, the two of them began tidying up the room together.
However, what left him somewhat speechless was that Kirisu was indeed not good at household chores. When she tried to do something, she seemed clumsy, and there were times when the books he had just neatly stacked were knocked down by her when she turned around.
Helplessly, Hachiman had to tidy up again.
While tidying up, he voiced instructions, and Kirisu nodded in agreement on the side.
"These textbooks should be neatly arranged, and if you don't need them, make sure to secure them."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Empty drink boxes should be thrown into the trash can."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Folding the blanket is simple, first like this..."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Unused clothes should also be folded and put away."
"Yeah, yeah."
"..."
At this moment, the roles of the two seemed to have reversed. Kirisu was the student, and Hachiman was the teacher.
With the relentless efforts of both, the room finally became tidy once again.
Watching the room transformed into neatness through their efforts, a sense of pride welled up in Kirisu's heart.
Well, it seems like I did a decent job.
Seeing the pride on her face, Hachiman, on the side, smirked.
Clearly, you were slowing us down just now. If I had known, I would have kept you quiet, and we would have finished tidying up the room more quickly.
Sighing, Hachiman looked around to see if there was anything else that needed tidying up.
At the head of the bed, a square object covered with white cloth caught his attention.
Uncovering the cloth revealed a small glass display case containing various trophies and medals, along with a photo of Kirisu during her high school days.
Hachiman examined the trophies, all of which were awards from figure skating competitions.
So, Mafuyu-sensei used to be a figure skater? No wonder her figure is so good.
However, after he uncovered it, Kirisu's expression changed.
Walking over, she covered the white cloth again.
Thinking about the various trophies he had just seen, Hachiman praised, "So, Mafuyu-sensei, you were an impressive figure skater in high school."
Unfortunately, Kirisu did not feel happy about his compliment; instead, she shook her head.
"Just some not-so-pleasant memories."
