Sunday.
It was a bright autumn day, and under the hot sun, Shinichi and the Nakano triplets were standing in front of an apartment.
"Does Kirisu Sensei live here..."
Gazing at this building, which was no different from an ordinary apartment, Ichika sighed: "It's different from what I had in mind. I thought that person would live in a seaside villa or a mansion."
Itsuki smiled faintly when she heard this and said.
"With Kirisu Sensei's personality, her professionalism and serious attitude will not be affected no matter where she lives. It is natural for her to live wherever she wants."
"This..."
Ichika and Yotsuba were stunned at the same time, then looked at Shinichi.
Why was this tone exactly the same as when she spoke about someone?
Being mysteriously attacked, Shinichi also looked at Itsuki with a strange look, and asked while leading them upstairs.
"Itsuki, do you have a good relationship with Kirisu Sensei?"
"Uh…" Itsuki said hesitantly, "I feel a bit rude because I have a good relationship with Sensei… But I respect her a lot. I have learned a lot from her during these days…"
Everyone nodded in understanding.
After all, everyone knows that Itsuki is easily attracted to people who are smart and not too annoying (Except Fuutarou in particular), plus they have serious conversations after school and before bed.
It's not strange that Itsuki admires Mafuyu, who now seems so unapproachable.
However, Ichika added another reminder:
"It's fine to respect Sensei, but don't write 'Kirisu Sensei's activity log' and start observing her like a stalker like you did Shinichi-kun..."
Itsuki argued confidently.
"Impossible! That's Asada-kun's privilege—ahhh!"
Suddenly remembering that the person involved was beside her, she immediately covered her mouth with a red face, and stammered to explain many things that no one could understand.
"A-Asada-kun, it's not me, I, that's..."
Yotsuba muttered without letting her hear: "It's too late to explain, and you didn't even refute the stalker..."
Shinichi seemed to have nothing to do and continued up the stairs.
After realizing that no one was listening to her explanation, Itsuki placed her hands on her chest, and her expression was complicated.
"And..."
She looked at her sister, bit her lip slightly, and spoke in a low voice.
"Don't you think... Kirisu Sensei looks like mom?"
"…"
Ichika and Yotsuba stopped in surprise, and even Shinichi turned around and looked at her strangely.
"She looks a lot like mom? The appearance is completely different. If her breasts were the size of..."
Yotsuba was confused, but Ichika immediately got an idea, and her expression became thoughtful.
"That's his temperament, right? Well~ From what you said, there seems to be some similarities..."
"Correct!" Seeing Ichika agree with her statement, Itsuki nodded repeatedly.
"Even though their appearances are different, their temperament is like white lotuses. They are stunning, straightforward, and unflappable. They are perfect intellectual beauties inside and out, not to mention they are both high school teachers!"
She spoke in a fast tone, but her voice was filled with longing.
"I've never attended mom's class, but when I was given lessons by Kirisu Sensei, I imagined that if I were also mother's student, perhaps she would teach me the same lessons..."
"When we were little, mom always treated us gently, perhaps because she didn't have the strength to reprimand us? We only know how she is at home and when she is sick in bed."
"But from Kirisu Sensei, I seem to be able to see mom's side as a teacher. Firm and gentle, always thinking about her students. I don't think this is an illusion..."
"Maybe this is why I like Kirisu Sensei more than other teachers, right?"
Facing everyone, Itsuki smiled shyly.
Because these were his true thoughts that she didn't want to hide and said from the bottom of her heart.
"…"
There was silence on the stairs.
Seeing her, Ichika smiled gently and patted her shoulder.
"Um, that's great! How about we call mom together when Kirisu Sensei opens the door?"
Itsuki raised her hands in panic.
"No, that can't be done! This will cause problems for Kirisu Sensei, and we only have one mother. I do not want..."
Yotsuba suggested while hugging her arm affectionately.
"Itsuki, Ichika was just joking. And if we want to call her, I think we can call her Onee-san. After all, she is only six years older than us!"
Itsuki's eyes widened and she shook her head.
"Are you seriously considering this matter?! Forgive me for refusing! We must show respect to Kirisu Sensei...!"
"…"
Listening to their noisy voices, Shinichi walked into Room 201, speaking softly into the cracked door panel.
"Kirisu Onee-san, are you very touched?"
"…"
No one answered, but Shinichi seemed to know her reaction, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and pushed the door back.
Then he turned to the three of them.
"Okay, don't chat in front of other people's houses. We are not here as guests. If you want to chat, wait until practice is over before establishing a good relationship with Kirisu Sensei. Now show your enthusiasm to get down to business and don't let her underestimate us."
"Yes, Captain!"
At this command, Ichika smiled and Yotsuba bowed with a straight face and correct attitude.
Itsuki nodded vigorously.
Shinichi turned around with satisfaction, knocked on the door panel, and spoke in a serious tone.
"Kirisu Sensei, we are students from the exchange meeting. As per your instructions, we came here to disturb you."
After the words were spoken and less than three seconds of silence, the door to Room 201 was gently opened. The mature woman in professional attire behind the door looked at them, turned and walked into the room.
"On time. Come in. I don't have sandals. Please just come in."
"Sorry to bother you!"
Itsuki responded a little nervously, but when she stepped into the front hall, she looked at Mafuyu's side face strangely.
(Why does it feel like the teacher's eyes are a little evasive when looking at me, as if she doesn't dare to face me...)
(It must be just an illusion, right?)
Everyone entered, Ichika looked at the room curiously.
"This place is just as I imagined, the decoration is simple and clean... Kirisu Sensei is awesome."
Shinichi touched the dust-free cupboard, then looked at the sparkling walls and floor, and nodded in agreement.
"Right, it looks like a lot of effort went into cleaning it. The appearance is completely new, and the smell of pesticide has not disappeared... It is indeed Kirisu Sensei."
"…"
With her back to them, Mafuyu clenched her fists.
Yotsuba muttered to herself: "Ah, the air conditioner is obviously not turned on, why does it suddenly feel cold..."
