Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

"classmate?"

The boy simply grasped the essence of that word.

He, who had been lying on the bench, finally made a move.

Although he only turned his eyes to look at the little girl.

His gaze lingered on the little girl's face for two seconds.

Then, with some difficulty, he sat up, as if he had no bones, and slumped onto the bench.

"Little girl, you can't call me classmate, you have to call me brother."

"No, you should call me 'classmate,' I'm a teacher, you know!"

"Teacher? I'm a teacher too."

"Don't lie to me."

She wrinkled her nose, which looked very cute.

"You're clearly a high school student, how could you possibly be a teacher?"

"what?"

The boy seemed amused.

"If I'm a high school student, then you're an elementary school student, so how could you possibly be a teacher?"

Between a girl who looks about twelve years old and a boy who looks about seventeen, who looks less like a teacher?

Okay, neither of them looks like it.

"I really am a teacher!"

The little girl was earnest and determined, wanting to prove something.

But the boy just smiled, reached out, and touched the pink hair.

"I really am a teacher, so you have to be good. I'll take you to buy lollipops later."

"I really am a teacher!"

She emphasized it again.

However, the boy didn't seem to intend to listen to her.

He reached out, picked her up, turned her over, and placed her in his arms.

"Found a little girl, looks like I'm in luck tonight."

"Let me go!"

The little girl struggled.

However, with her small arms and legs, she was completely useless.

"It's best not to struggle when a man is holding you. If you accidentally go inside or into the wrong place, that would be bad."

"...Huh?"

"No, it's nothing."

The boy shook his head.

I looked up again at the dark night sky, where the stars still twinkled.

The little girl stopped struggling.

Perhaps they've already realized that struggling is futile, or perhaps they're simply exhausted.

"Student, could you please let go of the teacher?"

"Call me brother and I'll let you go."

"A teacher is a teacher, how can I call you brother?"

"I'm a teacher too."

"You can't lie to me."

She began to speak.

Her voice sounds like that of a young girl just before she starts developing secondary sexual characteristics.

So no matter how you look at it, she's just a little girl.

"Little girl, you can't lie to people!"

"They weren't lying!"

The little girl wrinkled her nose, seemingly to express her displeasure.

"Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually a teacher. It's just that for some reason my body has remained the same size and hasn't grown up."

"I didn't lie to anyone."

The boy replied.

"I really am a teacher, but for some reason my body has remained the same and hasn't grown up."

"Don't mimic my speech!"

"I didn't learn it, I'm just stating the facts."

"..."

The little girl pouted and didn't say anything.

This student is so annoying. He doesn't believe her and even mimics her speech, using the same reasons.

"classmate."

"what?"

"I really am a teacher. I have a teacher's certificate, and I carry it with me at all times."

"Really? Where?"

"In my pocket... Hey? I'll take it myself, don't mess with it... Ah..."

"..."

……

Name: Tsukuyomi Komoe.

Gender: Female.

Occupation: Teacher.

School: A certain high school.

"Tsukuyomi Komoe..."

Looking at the teacher's certificate in his hand, the boy seemed to fall into deep thought.

The little girl, held in his arms, blushed slightly.

However, he began to speak.

"See? The teacher really is a teacher, classmate."

"Yes, I saw it."

The boy nodded.

Then he returned the teacher's certificate to the other person, and took out something similar from his white coat and stuffed it into the little girl's hand.

Using the light of the streetlamp, the little girl began to look around.

"Nanaya, Tokiwadai teacher...wait, teacher?"

“I already said that I am a teacher too.”

The boy had a smile on his face.

I took the teacher's certificate back from the little girl.

He seemed to have some mixed feelings.

"Wow, I never expected there to be teachers like me."

"what?"

"We won't grow up, even though we're staying at different ages."

The boy was still smiling.

Then, watching the little girl ask a question.

"Why don't we become a couple? We're both in the same boat, you'll never grow up, and neither will I. We'd be a match made in heaven!"

"Wh...what?!"

The little girl was still blushing a bit.

He seemed to disagree with what the boy said.

But are they really all the same, people who never grow up?

If that's the case, then it seems quite a coincidence that we met here, and both of us are teachers.

"Don't be so quick to reject me, we're a really good match!"

"I don't believe it!"

"Hey hey hey..."

"..."
