Chapter 1611 Unexpected But A Welcome Surprise



When I arrived at the designated spot that Satsuki told me to go to, the girl wasn’t the one who was waiting for me there. Instead, it’s Eguchi-sensei who looked like she had yet to take a break.

She was resting her back against the wall with her arms crossed in front of her. The fringes of her hair were disheveled, the complexion of her face was close to being pale and lastly, her eyes were droopy as if she was close to falling asleep.

When she noticed my arrival, nothing happened apart from a relieved smile on her lips before it curved up further that it appeared as though she was teasing me.

“Disappointed, Onoda-kun?”

I shook my head, “Surprised, to be precise. What are you doing here, sensei?”

This place was rather secluded. It’s located behind the sports complex and close to the door where athletes or staff were entering through. Just that, located in the furthest corner and secluded by tall walls and an iron gate.

Of course, the gate was opened but with how it appeared, this was probably a neglected resting spot.

There’s a rusty vending machine, trash can, and wooden benches that are already close to rotting away. Eguchi-sensei was probably apprehensive to sit there.

Anyway, even though this was secluded, this place wasn’t under a roof. The sounds coming from the road at the other side of the wall as well as the noisy chattering and footsteps of people could clearly be heard.

Nonetheless, with no one around aside from us, this really felt like a usual rendezvous spot.

For Satsuki to find this place, that girl was probably prepared ahead of time knowing that I would definitely come to visit her.

But then, why is she not here, I wonder?

“Because I miss you, Onoda-kun. Will that pass as an answer?”

“It will. I also miss Ryouko-san.”

“I know you’re going to answer like that.” Visibly pleased, Eguchi-sensei straightened her back as she watched me close our distance.

She glanced over my shoulder making sure that no one was behind or followed me in this corner.

Not long after, we threw ourselves at each other, our lips naturally meeting. After savoring that for at most a minute, Eguchi-sensei pressed her forehead on my chest and tightened her grip on my back.

“I take it that you’re exhausted, Ryouko-san. Wanna sit there?

Well, I didn’t wait for her answer. Despite the somewhat worn-out state of the wooden bench, it should still be able to hold us. Picking the one at the corner, I didn’t hold back in having her sit on my lap.

Eguchi-sensei also didn’t react too much. Either she’s just too tired to even bother or she’s already getting used to our intimacy.

“Is it that obvious?” She asked after we confirmed that we wouldn’t break the seat. With her arms enclosed around my nape, Eguchi-sensei couldn’t help herself but be tempted to sneak in kisses on my lips.

Naturally, I responded with the same intensity and that’s enough to chip away from her exhaustion. No matter how unscientific, it’s an effective method to relieve it.

“Yeah. No way I will not notice that. Is it stress or just lack of sleep?”

Now that I got a proper look on her face, there were also dark circles underneath her eyes. If I’m not wrong, this woman failed to get the necessary eight hours of sleep.

Knowing that she couldn’t hide it from me anymore, Eguchi-sensei answered honestly.

“Both. My students. The girls from the club are all excited about this day. They’re all full of hope of winning so... I did my homework and tried to study more of their possible opponents’ strategies. At least, those who have their matches recorded and posted online.”

“Ah. No wonder you lack sleep. You’ve done more than enough. I heard that the first match went really well.”

The result wasn’t just because of their individual skills but also their Coach’s dedication to giving them the best chance at success. I think you should take a look at

This woman... even if she’s not really a basketball player, she’s fulfilling her role to its fullest extent.

“Un. I’m glad it went well. Their morale has been boosted that it resulted in this... Maemura asked me to meet with you and guide you to her.”

“Let me guess, they’re all trying to keep their morale up high by not thinking of anything useless, right?”

Well, that’s a normal tactic but at the same time, it’s not foolproof. It can even really backfire if they just kept that momentum going. I mean, hours have already passed, they should’ve taken a break and relaxed instead of anxiously waiting for their next match.

“Yes. That’s the gist of it. But Maemura... I can sense that she won’t be at her full potential if she failed to see you so... I did her this favor.”

“I see. I understand now... It works out well in your favor too, sensei.”

“Don’t tease me. I’m already feeling guilty as is. Yet, I cannot stop. Maybe I’m like Maemura, you’re what I needed to see to be re-energized.”

“Hmm. I guess that’s true. Look at you, you’re already red, sensei. Your lips are also about to take on the same color. Did I suck on it too much?”

Well, our exchange of kisses never stopped. And fortunately, it’s successful in relieving her stress and energizing her. But at the same time, her embarrassment continued to grow deeper.

Eguchi-sensei eventually covered her mouth with her hands as she embarrassedly muttered

“Stop, Onoda-kun! You’re going to make me blush.”

“What’s wrong with it? No one will be seeing you aside from me. And since Satsuki is still waiting for us. We don’t have a lot of time to spare, right?”

“That... You’re right...”

“See. Then, let me pamper my Ryouko-san. I’ll be cheering on you too from the audience stands. I’m not just here for Satsuki alone anymore. You’re now part of the reason.”

Convinced with my skewed logic, Eguchi-sensei eventually nodded. And with that, I continued with my assault on her lips. Little by little, things slowly escalate but not to the extent of what happened in the bus.

We haven’t gotten further than what we did in her house. But this time, she got a clear look at my erection and stroked it while I stuffed my mouth with her perky nips.

Once five minutes passed, the two of us stood up and fixed our clothes before leaving that area.

Walking slightly ahead of me, I heard Eguchi-sensei’s conflicted musings yet the tone of her voice couldn’t hide her satisfaction.

“... I’m feeling more sinful from that, Onoda-kun.”

“Don’t be...” I replied as I followed closely behind her. “I’ll also feel the same way if you do, sensei.”

It’s normal to feel guilty, I mean I haven’t really started to tell her more about the state of my relationship and here we are, her student asked her for a favor yet she used that to her advantage. If she felt really conflicted about that, it might result in her finding it hard to act naturally around Satsuki.

For now, it’s my duty to quell that by easing her mind.

Breaking that world we created around ourselves and slowly integrating her into the complexity of my relationship was still the approach I decided to do for her. Whether she would eventually accept our situation or not was still up in the air.

But if what happened just now was any indication then... I believe Eguchi-sensei would be more open to the idea. Still, there’s the other half of her trauma that I also have to hear and hopefully resolve.

A while later, we arrived at the 4th High Girls’ Basketball Team’s waiting room.

As soon as Eguchi-sensei invited me in, Satsuki’s and every other pair of eyes in the room instantly landed on me.

Mhm... that’s the normal reaction.
