It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

However, Iura Hide noticed that the guy was wearing a school uniform shirt.

This means that the boy was not the unreliable Sengoku-sensei that Kono Sakura had initially thought he was talking about, but rather one of only three members of the art club.

This immediately halved his already meager expectations for the art department by a third.

One is clearly a cowardly and useless character, the other simply uses this place as a sleeping place, and only one member is unknown. Can there be any experts in the art club like this?

Even though the half-finished sketch on the drawing board by that cowardly bespectacled guy looked alright, he still had deep doubts.

However, just as he was listening to the bespectacled guy's belated self-introduction and wondering whether he should leave, a mature and sophisticated voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Huh, Naoto, who's this white-haired guy I've never seen before?"

Chapter 24 My Panties Are With Him

A stylish purple women's blazer and pencil skirt accentuated her already enviable figure, making it appear even more sculpted.

Her pretty face, which looked to be in her early twenties, was adorned with the kind of elaborate makeup commonly seen on the streets of Shinjuku late at night. Paired with her long, crimson hair and fiery red lips, she looked exceptionally sexy.

Judging from her age, she should be a teacher.

Would a proper high school teacher dress like that?

For some reason, the image of Yasuda Makoto suddenly popped into Iura Hide's mind.

However, his gaze was then drawn to another figure beside the woman who appeared to be a teacher.

Her long, light golden hair fell smoothly over her slender shoulders, but upon closer inspection, one could still see some dry, split ends at the tips.

Beneath her long eyelashes, a pair of eyes as pure as rubies seemed to be half-asleep, devoid of any light.

Coupled with a face that is as beautiful as a doll, so beautiful that there is no flaw, but without any emotion, it makes people involuntarily think of the extremely popular attributes among boys, such as 'three no' (no feelings, no emotions) and 'naturally naive'.

That's right, this girl is the one who took those panties that cost a whopping yen from the convenience store yesterday without paying!

The girl quickly recognized him as their eyes met.

Then, while Iura Hide was completely dumbfounded, she pointed at him and said to the woman beside her in her soft, emotionless voice, "My panties are with him."

"???"

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Suddenly, a violent coughing sound rang out beside him, as if the bespectacled guy had almost choked on his own saliva.

Even the 'decadent uncle' who was sleeping on the sofa couldn't help but open his eyes.

The red-haired woman, who was suspected to be the teacher, whose gaze had initially been drawn to Iura Hide's handsome appearance, suddenly turned dangerous, and she seemed to emanate a murderous aura.

Iura Shuu felt a jolt; the chilling murderous aura sent shivers down his spine, raising goosebumps all over his body.

"It's not what you think!"

"Please let me explain!"

"Here's what happened—"

Iura Hide hurriedly tried to explain.

But just as he finished speaking, the red-haired woman waved her hand to interrupt him.

"Wait a moment!"

The woman first glanced at the bespectacled man and the disheveled middle-aged man with a murderous and threatening look, then looked back at Iura Hide and said in a cold voice, "Come with me."

Two minutes later, the man with glasses sat back down in front of the easel and absentmindedly picked up a brush.

The dejected middle-aged man had already closed his eyes again.

Meanwhile, Hideki Iura followed the red-haired woman and the blonde girl to the restroom at the end of the corridor.

To be fair, this is the first time someone has called him into the bathroom to "chat" with someone who seems harmless but actually has explosive fighting skills and is extremely popular.

What's more, the person he was asked to chat with was a sexy beauty, plus a naive and clueless girl.

This feels really strange.

"Which class are you in? What's your name?"

"I am Iura Hide from Class 3, Grade 2."

Iura Hide originally thought that the other party was aware of him.

The woman looked surprised after hearing this, then looked him over again and asked uncertainly, "You're the guy who's friends with most of the students in the grade, almost led the soccer team to the finals last year, and is known as the 'Husky with unlimited energy and stamina'? I remember you had green hair, didn't you?"

""

What the heck is this 'Husky with unlimited energy and stamina'?

Iura Hide was speechless.

However, since the other party knows him, they should be more likely to trust him.

"I just dyed my hair last night."

Hideaki Iura offered a dry laugh and explained.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering how there could be any handsome guys at school that I hadn't seen before," the woman muttered to herself.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that although the woman's murderous aura had softened considerably and almost disappeared, the way she looked at him was rather strange.

"Tell me what's going on!"

Iura Hide quickly put aside his other thoughts and recounted the events of the previous day in detail.

The woman's expression quickly softened.

Clearly, she was quite aware of how clueless the girl next to her was about common sense.

However, she still asked the girl to confirm something.

"Mashiro, is what he said true?"

"Ah."

The girl nodded gently.

This made the red-haired woman breathe a sigh of relief, but she couldn't help but frown.

On the other side, when Iura Hide heard the name 'Mashiro', he was first stunned, and then it was as if a bolt of lightning struck him, causing his pupils to dilate, and he instantly realized something.

"Mabai!?"

"Or is she blonde with red eyes and a natural airhead?"

"Could she be—"

A name immediately came to mind.

"Could this woman be Sengoku Chihiro? Is she the unreliable art club advisor that Kono Sakura mentioned?"

"But shouldn't she be a teacher at Sui Ming University of the Arts?"

"No, no!"

"This world is a world of integration, so it's perfectly normal for Chihiro Sengoku to go from being a university professor to a high school teacher at our school!"

"However, without Suimei Arts High School, would Sakura-sou still exist?"

"And what about Kanda Sorata, Kamiigusa Misaki, and Mitaka Jin from Sakura-sou?"

"Are they also in Katagiri, or do they not exist at all?"

Iura Hide quickly thought of the two people he had seen in the art club earlier.

Clearly, neither the curly-haired bespectacled man nor the颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of decadence, apathy, or a lack of refinement) middle-aged man could be one of the main characters from Sakura-sou.

At the same time, he did not recall ever hearing these people's names at school.

Based on this, it seems highly likely that these people do not exist.

Even so, he still planned to go back to the student council and ask Sakura Kono for help checking the roster to see if these guys actually existed.

Others like Kanda Sorata, Mitaka Jin, and Aoyama Nanami are one thing, but Kamiigusa Misaki and Akasaka Ryunosuke are two legendary figures!

I'm already planning to write novels and draw comics; if I have the opportunity, I'll definitely make them into animations and games.

If these two great gods were here, things would be much easier and more convenient.

Meanwhile, Chihiro Sengoku stared at Hide Iura for a long time, pondered for a while, then turned to look at Mashiro Shiina beside her, and finally made a decision in her heart.

"Alright, let's just leave it at that. Remember, you're not allowed to tell anyone, understand?"

"Yes, Sengoku-sensei, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

Chihiro Sengoku raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "You're quite clever. It seems you already know who I am. So, what were you planning to do when you came to the art club earlier?"

Of course, it's about knowledge and skills in drawing blank banknotes.

However, Iura Hide is not stupid, so it is obviously impossible for him to say that.

"Well, teacher, I'm actually trying to write a light novel recently, so I wanted to join the art club to learn how to draw and then draw the characters from the novel myself."

Chihiro Sengoku paused for a moment, then seemed to remember something, shook her head and said, "I heard Yuri mention it. She has a student who is writing a novel, and it's quite good. It must be you, right?"

"But it's too much trouble to deliberately learn drawing just to draw a few illustrations for my novel. Why not just find an illustrator to draw them?"

"And if I remember correctly, you're the captain of the soccer team, so you probably don't have much time to learn painting, right?"

Iura Hide naturally knew that Sengoku Chihiro was right.

If you're only interested in illustration, then studying drawing in detail would be a huge waste of time and energy.

However, his goal is to bring over those classic comics to achieve financial freedom, so he definitely needs to learn and master drawing skills.

"Thank you for the reminder, teacher, but I still want to give it a try! As for the soccer club, I'll coordinate the time!"

"Iura Hide said with utmost sincerity."

In fact, he was already considering giving up on the soccer club. After all, what future could he have playing soccer? Could it earn as much as becoming a top comic book artist?

One Demon Slayer manga can bring the author two hundred million US dollars in income a year. If he also adapts Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Jujutsu Kaisen, wouldn't he earn more than playing football?
