Chapter 76: Early bird gets the worm

Chapter 76: Early bird gets the worm

He was late, and Kirin understood that, yet the reason was... the bed was just too comfortable?

"...."

Kirin wanted to say something, but as a timid girl, she hardly had anything to complain to this teacher of hers.

"By the way, have you eaten breakfast?"

"Ah, um... I have a little."

"Then, do you want this strawberry milk?"

"Strawberry milk?"

"I made it myself, though."

"Eh? Really?"

"Do you want to try it?"

"Is that okay?"

"Sure." Tamazuki nodded and then gave the strawberry milk to Kirin.

Kirin was a bit nervous but also excited and curious. She took the tumbler before she sucked the long straw on the tumbler with her pretty, small lips. Instantly, her eyes shone brightly and excitedly, sucking all the milk inside the tumbler and finishing the milk without leaving anything behind.

"Is it good?" He was just quiet and watched all of this in silence.

"Yes, Sensei!" She nodded but also felt embarrassed since she didn't want to appear like a glutton in front of her teacher, but she had to say it was delicious.

Still, if he knew what she was thinking, he would say he didn't care. "You are still young, so you need a lot of nutrients. Eat well, sleep well, and train hard. That's what you need to do, especially when you have a lot of potential inside you." He didn't lie since, compared to the protagonist, this girl had more talent. The reason why the protagonist was able to win over this girl was that the protagonist had made this girl fall for him, so it weakened her.

However, that was the original story, and such a thing was impossible to happen in this story. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

"Ye-Yes!"

She was quite flustered but enjoyed the pat on her head so much. As she was born into a family of martial artists and also had a talent for it, her life was rather harsh. When one was being spoiled, she needed to train hard, so she enjoyed his gentleness much.

"Ah, um, Sensei, what are we going to do now?"

"Let's start the training tomorrow. As for what we will do now, I want to get to know you better."

"Eh? To know me better?!" She blushed, wondering what it meant. Did he like her? Wait! Wait! They were a teacher and a student, so it should be bad! Yet... why didn't she hate it?

"Besides your name, your previous status as a rank one of the Seidoukan, and your relationship with your uncle, I don't know much about you."

"..."

"....."

"Ye-Yes, Sensei! Please, let Kirin follow you!"

"You don't need to get serious. The morning is nice. Let's just enjoy the morning, okay?"

"Un!"

Still, he was quite curious why she was so into swordsmanship, which she answered with a bitter smile.

"I am clumsy. I am also not that smart, but even so, I have my swordsmanship."

In other words, her swordsmanship was the only thing that she could be proud of.

Yet when he looked at her profile, he was sure that many girls would curse her for saying something like that, but it wasn't his place to talk, and he just patted her head as they continued to talk about many things.

She talked about many things, like a chirping bird in the early morning, wanting her master to hear her beautiful voice. She also kept following him like a baby duck full of trust and didn't hesitate to tell him anything which he wanted to know.

Watching this girl, he was afraid that this girl might be deceived by a scumbag, so he thought that it was his duty to teach her that not all men were a good thing. A man was nothing but an evil wolf. Giving them a chance, they would devour a girl without leaving a single bone, and as her teacher, it was his duty to teach her that.

Covering himself in the sheep-like costume, he pretended like he was a gentle and harmless gentleman, waiting for his chance to put his fangs into the tender, soft skin of the young girl.

Wait, he wouldn't do that!

Still, as they walked, his nose twitched slightly. He knew this scent. No, he had deliberately registered this scent since he wanted to be careful with this person.

The protagonist.

He was sure that the protagonist was about to come in his direction, then, coincidentally, they met each other like before the story of love began. It was the basic ability of the protagonist. They could meet the heroines by any chance, anytime, especially at the moment of their crisis.

Frankly, he was helpless, but he couldn't deny it was a good ability, especially to seduce a girl.

Still, he didn't think the protagonist could do anything, even if they happened to meet, but he was too lazy to meet the protagonist.

The only thing which he was speechless about was why this guy walked in a place where no one would pass. It was as if this guy tried to search for a heroine in the crisis deliberately, making him annoyed, but it also strengthened his desire to take all the heroines around the protagonist.

"Well, it's almost time for us to go to school. Let's go back, Kirin."

"Ah, um, yes..." She felt reluctant to leave him, but it couldn't be helped since she had to attend school.

"If you don't mind, how about we meet again at lunch later? I want to talk with you more."

"Yes~!"

This might be the brightest smile that Kirin had shown him today.

As they parted, Amagiri walked into the place where they just stood, oblivious of anything.
