Nakamura did not answer directly; instead, she looked at Kanzaki Yukiko, who was in charge of logistics for the "court."

The latter tilted his head and thought for a moment, then sparingly uttered two words: "Keep warm!"

Bang~

An enraged Simo slammed his fist on the table. What a damn good explanation!

Keep warm!

Yes, that is indeed the difference between the clothes, but that's not the difference Simo is asking about.

Sighing, Simo rubbed his temples. He realized that dealing with these guys required being blunt, so this time he asked directly, "Why are all of them dressed as women?"

Kanzaki, feigning ignorance, said, "Huh, what else could it be but women's clothing?"

"How many times do I have to say it! I'm a man! I'm a man!" Simo protested angrily once again.

Simo has stated his position as a man more than once, but for some reason, Nakamura and the others just refuse to believe that Simo is a man!

They even comforted Simo, saying, "Don't give up on yourself just because you're young, or you'll develop gender identity disorder. You're still young now, but you'll grow up."

16. Was it murder to silence a witness, or...?

Strange! Something's wrong!

Simon has explained repeatedly, but the other party just won't believe him. Does he really have to prove his identity in court? That would be absurd.

Considering Nakamura Rio's performance and the current situation, there are only two reasonable explanations.

The first type is a complete idiot, someone who is entirely self-centered, only believes in their own preconceived notions, and ignores all factual evidence, indulging only in their own fantasies.

To be honest, there are quite a few people like this in Japan, especially among students of this age, because there is a special term for them: "chuunibyou" (middle school syndrome).

However, having just pretended to be a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), Simo can clearly tell whether Nakamura Rie is genuinely stupid or just pretending.

So the answer is the second one: Nakamura Rio obviously already knows she is a boy, so she is deliberately playing a prank on herself.

So why did Nakamura Rio suddenly have an epiphany? Why did the others go crazy with her? The answer is obviously self-evident.

Koro-sensei, who was pointing and gesturing beside Sosuke Sugaya, suddenly felt a cold gaze fixed on him. He looked up and saw that it was indeed Miss Louise Simon.

However, Koro-sensei didn't care whether Shimo had discovered his and Nakamura's conspiracy, because it was all part of his plan.

After secretly confronting Nakamura, with Nakamura's help, things are developing in the direction Koro-sensei hoped for. So, will he be able to resolve his inner conflict this time?

Koro-sensei lowered his head, making it seem as if he was deep in thought, but in reality, he was observing Sugaya Sosuke's work progress.

"Make a change here." Koro-sensei suddenly grabbed Sugaya Sosuke's shoulder to stop him, then pointed to a certain part of the paper with another tentacle finger.

When Sugaya Sosuke saw the part that Koro-sensei was pointing to, he was stunned for a moment. Although he immediately understood the problem, he seemed very hesitant.

If it were Okajima, he might have immediately followed Koro-sensei's advice, but Sugaya, who has his own understanding of art, has his own principles.

However, before Sugaya could offer a clear rebuttal, Koro-sensei spoke up first: "Sugaya-kun! While respecting the facts is good, this is too bland, too bland!"

You must understand that art originates from life but transcends it! Don't be bound by reality!

Do you know what the biggest difference is between painting and photography? It's the creator's imagination! Photography can only faithfully record that one second, that one frame of the scene.

But painting is different; in the process of painting, the painter can incorporate his own imagination.

You must understand, although what you see now is a flawed, unripe fruit, what about five years from now? What about ten years from now? Even a sour, unripe fruit can grow! By then, it will surely be the most brilliant and perfect fruit!

You need to understand that what you need to do now is not just be a recorder, but to become a prophet!

With beautiful aspirations for the future, use your pen to depict ups and downs that are completely different from the present, and use the paintbrush containing "expectation" and "hope" to present the beauty of the future in advance!

Do you understand?

After a long and rambling speech, a figure pounced at Koro-sensei's feet, hugging his thick legs tightly and shouting, "Koro-sensei, you are truly my soulmate! This is art! This is art!"

Don't get me wrong, that person wasn't Sugaya Sosuke. He's not that shameless. And in the entire Class E, there's only one person who would so blatantly agree with Koro-sensei's twisted logic.

So, looking at Okajima and Koro-sensei gazing at each other with such mutual respect and deep affection, practically like they were just missing a sunset beach as the backdrop for their bromance, Sugaya Sosuke really wanted to complain: "When did art become so shameless?"

Sugaya wanted to refute Koro-sensei: Considering the structure of the collarbone, the shape of the small pelvis, the prominence of the brow bone and brow arch, the depth of the eye sockets, the bluntness of the upper eyelid, the shape of the nasal bone and pear shape, etc., even if someone who is a model goes through twenty or thirty years, it is impossible for them to reach the state described by Koro-sensei.

However, before he could utter these highly professional rebuttals, Sugaya Sosuke suddenly felt his hand being moved.

Then he saw that his classmate, Ximo, was holding his several completed works and those that were still being completed, and examining them very carefully.

Observing her so closely, Sugaya Sosuke realized that she was indeed a beauty no less stunning than Shiota Nagisa behind him. Then, as Sugaya Sosuke was somewhat engrossed in watching her, he noticed that she looked up and stared at him with a strange expression.

To be honest, Simo's feelings were complicated. The boy's paintings were all portraits of himself. Moreover, they were portraits of himself dressed as a priestess, a nurse, and a tennis player, and they were all painted very realistically.

To be able to draw something like this out of thin air based on one's own body shape, this guy must be very skilled.

But she was dressed as Louise, so the drawing paper showed Louise wearing a shrine maiden outfit, Louise wearing a sailor outfit, and so on.

After seeing the artwork, Shimo understood Koro-sensei's ramblings. Now, Shimo no longer wanted to make pointless remarks like "I never expected you to be such a octopus."

In reality, if Koro-sensei wasn't lewd and had great morals, would he still be Koro-sensei?

So, Koro-sensei having his students draw portraits of him in different clothes, and even adjusting his body shape according to their own preferences, really fits Koro-sensei's style.

However, the artwork he created using himself as a model bore a striking resemblance to Louise, leaving Simo both eager to see it and conflicted.

Given that Mr. Simon is a fan of otaku culture, how could he not have the heart of a cosplayer? And wouldn't it be better to let Louise cosplay instead of him doing it himself?

However, Simo doubted whether Louise could accept such an advanced and sophisticated concept as cosplay.

And if I were to dress up as Louise and wear those clothes, it would be a bit... umm...

But if Class E has someone like this, it seems that Louise doesn't need to appear, and I don't need to actually wear those clothes. Wouldn't that be very convenient?

However, it's fine to appreciate this kind of thing by yourself, but if others see it, Simo has a feeling that he might be cuckolded.

So, deciding what to do was a real dilemma for Simo.

But in the end, Simo's gaze towards Sugaya Sosuke gradually turned cold, which sent a chill down Sugaya Sosuke's spine and gave him a bad feeling.

17. Koro-sensei's Misunderstanding and Plan

Before the other party could react, Simo grabbed Sugaya by the neck and threatened in a low voice, "Kid, you're not allowed to draw anything like this again without my permission!"

However, Sugaya Sosuke, who was frightened by Shimo's fierce appearance, obviously did not understand and instead kept promising, "I won't do it again! I won't do it again! Even if Koro-sensei forces me, I won't do it again!"

You won't dare? That won't do!

This isn't the result Simon wanted! How could you not draw? How could you not draw? Where am I supposed to appreciate it if you don't draw it? By imagining it?

Left with no other option, Simo could only add in exasperation, "I'll dedicate half a day each week to studying painting with you (meaning you'll paint, and I'll be the model). All the finished works will be mine. But if I find out you've been hoarding your original drafts! I'll blow you to the moon!"

This time, Sugaya Sosuke understood. Not only did he understand, but Nakamura, Okajima, and the rest of the class also understood.

"So you're a tsundere after all!" Sugaya Sosuke said with a grin, no longer afraid, even though he was still being held by the neck by Simo.

"You're the arrogant one! Your whole family is arrogant!"

"Hey~ Don't keep things to yourself! Good things should be shared!" Okajima protested, having let go of Koro-sensei's leg.

Even Kouki Mimura chimed in, saying, "Beautiful things shouldn't be kept on a shelf!"

Although the two were saying the same thing, and although he had only just met them, Ximo could now clearly distinguish the difference between them—no, the difference between the four people, including Koro-sensei and Sugaya Sosuke.

If Sosuke Sugaya focuses on art, then Kouki Mimura focuses on inner qualities, but when it comes to those two idiots, Koro-sensei and Okajima, all that's left is ecchi.

So, out of sheer annoyance, Simo retorted, "Huh? Are you all idiots?"

However, Simo's rebuttal did not offend anyone; instead, it brought laughter and cheers back to the classroom of Class 3-E.

Amidst everyone's laughter, Simo suddenly realized that he seemed to have unknowingly integrated into this joyful group, and he didn't really resist the feeling of being part of it.

This made Ximo take another deep look at Koro-sensei, and then he found that the other person was also looking at him and nodding slightly.

Simo felt that he had guessed Koro-sensei's thoughts correctly.

However, he was unaware that while Koro-sensei was looking at him, he was also secretly observing another person behind Seamus—Nagisa Shiota.

Simo had no idea that Koro-sensei's arrangements were not just to help Simo integrate into the class.

At first, when Koro-sensei saw Shimo in women's clothing, he was indeed surprised and fooled. However, when he discovered that Shimo actually wanted to assassinate him while dressed as a woman, a plan quietly formed in Koro-sensei's mind.

First, based on yesterday's contact and today's assassination attempt, Koro-sensei can confirm that Shimo is someone who likes anime and doesn't mind cross-dressing, because if he really disliked it, he wouldn't have dressed in women's clothing to assassinate him.

Furthermore, Koro-sensei believes that the photo of Louise that Saimo showed him yesterday was actually a photo that Saimo sent to him in disguise, so that he would be shocked the moment he appeared in women's clothing.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Simo's female attire looks so much like the person in the photo.

In other words, Koro-sensei believes that Louise is not a real person; she is merely an identity used by Seamus to deceive and assassinate him.

This shows that Simo must be someone who is very good at disguising himself and very good at cross-dressing.

It has to be said that Koro-sensei, with his rich imagination, was actually half right—because Louise really doesn't exist in this world.

So, after considering his conclusions about Shimo and the current situation of the students in Class 3-E, Koro-sensei discovered an interesting question: What would happen if someone who frequently cross-dressed came into contact with someone who was frequently forced to cross-dress?

In fact, during that time, Koro-sensei had been carefully observing Nagisa Shiota, and he was surprised to find that Nagisa Shiota was very likely to have discovered Shimo's male identity even earlier than he had.

Is it possible that there are commonalities between cross-dressers that normal people don't know about?

At the same time, Koro-sensei also noticed that although Nagisa kept looking at Shimo, his expression was always very complicated, containing sympathy, expectation, resentment, and fear.

Knowing Nagisa Shiota's personality and family situation, Koro-sensei understood that Nagisa's resentment was not directed at Shimo, but rather stemmed from his association with his own family through Shimo's cross-dressing. It was resentment towards his own upbringing, and resentment and fear towards his mother.

Nagisa Shiota's parents are currently separated due to marital discord, partly because of Nagisa's mother. Nagisa's mother believes her life has been a failure.

However, she hoped that her failed life path would not be repeated in Nagisa's life.

Therefore, Nagisa's mother hoped that Nagisa could grow step by step under her planning and guidance, and eventually achieve the life she considered a successful person, such as entering the best high school, university, working for a large company, and working all over the world.

The initial motivation stemmed from a mother's love for her son, which was not wrong. The dutiful Nagisa also obeyed his mother's requests and lived the life arranged by her.

However, unknowingly, perhaps due to the pressure of life, perhaps due to setbacks in her career, or perhaps due to self-abandonment of her own life, Nagisa's mother changed. She placed all her hopes on Nagisa, forcing him to complete the life plan that she herself had been unable to achieve.
