Chapter 1409 Continuing Our Task

Once the call with Orimura-sensei concluded, Eguchi-sensei and I communicated through our eyes and reached an agreement. After sharing one final kiss, we called it a day and began fixing each other's clothes.

I mean, with that call interrupting us as well as hearing Orimura-sensei's voice, it would just turn awkward if we pushed it. Besides, that also broke the situation we painstakingly created. Eguchi-sensei got reminded of our identities that we threw to the back of our minds.

While I would be fine with it, considering I even ignored Saionji's presence in that room earlier, that's not the case for Eguchi-sensei.

Like I said, she might've been dropping obvious hints but she's unconsciously doing that. Or rather, she's oblivious to the fact that she's doing that. That's why she always used 'reward' as an excuse.

That might change after today though. Now that we have reached this point, even if I said that we're going to return to our normal selves upon leaving her house, we certainly wouldn't be able to sweep it away just like that.

It would remain in our minds and we'd probably spend days being awkward with each other; or it's only Eguchi-sensei since I, for sure, would act the same around her. Well, maybe not the same.

That aside, once we returned to our previous state of sitting next to each other, the two of us spent the next few minutes in silence. Although our eyes were fixed on the TV, our minds were wandering elsewhere.

Time continued to pass like that and soon enough, our 'lunch break' was over.

Eguchi-sensei asked me to go ahead in her car first which I obediently followed. As for her reason, she would be going to her room to change.

My wait didn't take long though. Perhaps, it's only at most three minutes.

Looking at her from inside the car, it's easy to notice what changed. Her inner shirt was now in pale yellow instead of white and her stockings disappeared. And even without seeing it, she definitely also changed into a new pair of panties. Her face also appeared fresh; she retouched her minimal makeup. However, her lips were still a little red. It's the same stat as Saionji's lips earlier. A little swollen but no one would probably notice that when we reached our destination.

I mean, Saionji also got away with it.

Anyway, as Eguchi started approaching the car, my perverted mind made a brief return, flashing the woman's alluring image from earlier.

Due to that, my little brother that had just calmed down woke up once again. Since I didn't even try covering it up, that's the first thing that Eguchi-sensei noticed upon settling in the driver's seat.

"Onoda-kun… Is that hurting?" She asked as her eyes seemed to have been locked on it.

As innocent as that question sounded, she probably thought that my erection failed to calm down. Or maybe she's also like Otsuka-senpai who started wondering if I needed to release it before it calmed down.

I put on an awkward smile before answering.

"Uhm. No, it's not. Don't mind it, sensei. It will calm down soon."

"O-okay… That's a relief." She returned a relieved smile and tried her best to stop looking at it. It took her a minute to do so.

At the same time as she started the engine of the car, she added in a rather hushed voice, "But if you need help… tell me."

Yeah. What do I expect? Isn't that the result of what happened between us? And yet, here I am. I shamelessly did nothing to cover it up. It's like I invited her to see it which resulted in this kind of conversation.

Ugh. I'm really a pervert.

"Yes, sensei. Thank you." That's all I could say as I also did my best to restrain my inner desire-filled thoughts from flooding out of my mouth.

Eguchi-sensei endearingly patted my head before putting her hands on the steering wheel and putting us back on the road.

On the thirty-minute drive to the 1st High School, I caught Eguchi-sensei, not just once but many times, appearing very conflicted. For sure, she's thinking about what happened between us or whether she could make a straight face in front of the Principal or the other teachers.

That's why despite knowing that it would once again feel really awkward, I brought it up myself and did my best to turn it into something we could laugh about. Like joking about how we should surrender ourselves to Hayashi-sensei and ask her to let us off.

Of course, it's not that effective. But, at the very least, Eguchi-sensei understood what I was trying to do. Like most of my girls, the woman also gained the ability to read my intention. At least, to a certain extent.

And with that, it made her take up the adult role as she put on a reassuring smile before saying, "Onoda-kun, rest assured. Your teacher isn't weak in mentality. Even if what happened is wrong, I won't ever regret it. And know that you filled my heart with gratitude."

I guess that's her own way to take responsibility. Rather than have me do the work on calming herself down, she steeled herself and came up with the decision to air her thoughts out.

Thanks to that, it also brought improvement in her current state. The tension she was feeling the whole way disappeared as she finally managed to pull herself up before driving inside the school grounds.

I could've also voiced my thoughts but knowing that it might bring an opposite effect like making her very conscious about what we did again, I held myself back and simply returned a smile, conveying to her that I feel the same.

"Here, Onoda-kun, what do you think? Do I still look different than earlier?"

A few minutes later, after stopping her car in the parking lot, Eguchi-sensei and I didn't leave the car right away.

I accompanied her as she somehow comically tried to take deep breaths in an attempt to emulate her usual, everyday expression.

Weird, no? But there's a reason for that.

Because when she was about to get off, I pointed out how she appeared softer and more womanly right now. There's also her gentle expression that was far from the terror teacher that could always scare off the Fourth High students. If someone from our school saw her at this moment, they might even tease her by asking if spring finally bloomed for her or in other words, if she finally found her own romance.

"Mhm. That's better, sensei. Although still a little bit off than the first time I saw you, I doubt they can try and joke around with you."

"Do I really look that scary?"

"Well, I'm being honest there. But don't worry, I'm more than aware of how beautiful you can be."

Slipping in a tease there, she almost blushed again.

"You… Haah… That's exclusive for you, understand?"

"Yes, sensei." I swiftly answered which successfully drew out laughter from her. And before that laughter could ruin her effort to put on her usual expression, I said, "Now shall we go?"

While preventing her lips from stretching into a satisfied grin, Eguchi-sensei nodded, "Un. Same plan as earlier. You find your chance to slip out earlier."

With that, we left the car and followed the teacher to the Administration Building to meet up with the Principal. Unlike earlier at the Third High School, everything went smoothly.

No girls that might be from my past called out to me and I didn't go looking for someone in particular. Apart from that, while I found the suspects when I toured the school, I didn't approach them nor did I get the chance to do so.

That's fine too. No hassle for me as I simply wrote my observations and returned to the car to wait for Eguchi-sensei's return.
