Let's do it again, Yukino.

Following the instructions in Hiratsuka Shizuka's email, Kasuga and Yukino, dressed up, arrived at the bus roundabout as promised.

That familiar-looking van sat quietly by the roadside.

The car door was slowly pushed open, and the first thing the boy saw was a pair of hiking boot-like sneakers.

Then a tall and voluptuous figure stepped out of the car.

Good morning, Qing. How have you been lately?

A stylish, middle-aged woman wearing sunglasses, in a fairly good mood, stood by the car and greeted Haruhi.

Today, the teacher was wearing a baseball cap, and her long black hair was tied into a ponytail. Compared to her maturity in school, she had a more flamboyant and energetic look.

"Hahaha, working, eating, sleeping."

You're kidding me...

It should be about sleeping with someone, eating with someone, and playing with someone, right?

Let me also demonstrate the correct way to eat ice cream.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, still harboring resentment about the ice cream from that day, harbored a deep disdain beneath her calm exterior.

She was too lazy to even ask why this brat had come with Yukinoshita.

because----

Hiratsuka Shizuka calmly patted Haruhi's shoulder, pulled him to a shady corner, and suddenly began to grit her teeth.

"When that bastard Hachiman comes over later, A-Qing, you help me teach that brat a lesson. Apart from my previous blind dates, this is the first time someone has dared not answer my calls."

"Then why don't you teach him a lesson yourself, Master, and let that bastard Hachiman experience firsthand what it means to be both strong and gentle?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! I, Hiratsuka Shizuka, never physically punish students! So, I'm asking you, Haru, are you going to help or not!"

"I will obey your orders, Master!! I will show that bastard Hachiman what the wrath of Master's menopausal iron fist is like!!!"

Without hesitation, Chunri patted his chest with his fist, coughed once, and loudly agreed.

Leave everything to me.

Chapter Twelve is a little curious

This isn't the first time I've ridden the Hiratsuka Shizuka train.

However, every time I ride in my mentor's car, I always have a unique feeling.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chunri gently covered her face, which was swollen like a bun, and stared blankly at the scenery outside the window.

The outline of the mountains outside the window came into his view.

Behind them, squeezed between Komachi and Saika, was the same person with a chubby, bluish face.

In the end, neither of them escaped being hit by a few blows from their mentor's iron fist, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who repeatedly said she "never physically punishes students."

……

The car can seat exactly seven people.

Xiaoxue, still lacking courage, pulled Yui to the last row of seats as well.

Hachiman chose to sit in the middle row with his two favorite women, enjoying the bittersweet fragrance emanating from his sister and Saika.

As for the remaining days of spring, seeing that Yui had taken the last row seats with Koyuki, he could only reluctantly follow his mentor's instructions and sit in the front passenger seat.

I accompanied Teacher Jing to watch the sun and clouds along the way, and we ended up talking about Fist of the North Star instead of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Who the hell wants to talk about this...?

Ugh, this is so unbearable! And today, my mentor Hiratsuka is wearing denim hot pants that cover her up quite a bit. My plan to pass the time by admiring my mentor's long, white legs has been ruthlessly ruined.

Chunri slammed her head against the passenger seat cushion and sighed without any enjoyment.

"Brother Chunri, is your face alright? I have some band-aids here, do you need them?"

Komachi, who rarely leaves Chiba Prefecture, leaned her face over.

She was pressing her hands against the backrest of the spring-themed chair, her big, curious eyes gazing at the mountains outside the window, while her face, as pale as her older brother's, showed a hint of concern.

"No need, Komachi-chan. These wounds will only become badges of honor for us men in the future. Besides, I'm already used to it..."

Spring stretched and yawned.

The weather forecast says these next few days will be sunny.

Previously, Mount Fuji could be clearly seen from the coastline.

However, people rarely see such lush green mountains filled with rural charm.

Before long, the carriage became quiet.

Haruhi glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Yukinoshita leaning against the window, silently gazing at the vast and fresh scenery. Meanwhile, Yui had already rested her head on Yukinoshita's shoulder, and the drool overflowing from the corner of her mouth was almost flowing into the ultimate area that she envied so much.

As for the middle row, Komachi and Saika, who had grown tired of the mountain view, also fell asleep, leaving only Hachiman Hikigaya with a dazed smile, endlessly gazing at Saika's charming sleeping face beside him.

However, in Kasuga's opinion, Komachi on the other side of Hachiman's character is cuter than Saika.

Haruhi really doesn't understand what Hachiman, who's obsessed with his sister even after having Ayaka, is really thinking.

Although it's not quite appropriate to say it that way...

However, he genuinely felt that the way the teacher and his father kept their younger sister or daughter away from boys was inappropriate.

In Chunri's heart, as an older brother, shouldn't he naturally stand by and silently protect his younger sister so that she can be happy?

On this point alone, Hachiman still has a lot to learn from that silly girl, Shinomiya.

No wonder that junior student, whose name I don't know if it was Xiaozhi or Dashan, pursued Komachi for so many years without success.

It's all thanks to this dead-fish-eyed sister-obsessed guy.

……

Hiratsuka Shizuka, noticing this, gently kicked Haruhi, whose eyes were wandering aimlessly and lost in thought.

"Pay a little attention, what are you thinking about?"

As the car drove on the highway, Hiratsuka Shizuka quietly scolded Haruhi in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"I've noticed that you actually look quite pretty when you dress up. If I'm sitting in the assistant's seat again next time, I personally suggest you wear some super short shorts or a short skirt; it will enhance your charm even more!!"

Otherwise, it would be a real shame to waste such beautiful legs.

Haruhi shamelessly praised his mentor's physique. Unable to sleep, he could only pass the time by engaging in daily teacher-student interactions with Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Although what you said makes a lot of sense, you should also know me. I almost never wear skirts in front of you guys."

Ms. Jing adjusted her sunglasses and glared at Chunri without any politeness.

"Women, even when they reach a certain age, should know how to try new things. Once they try it once, they'll want to try it again."

Snapped! !

Spring's head was struck by another heavy iron fist.

Hiratsuka Shizuka lowered her voice angrily: "What, Yukinoshita, you couldn't flirt with Yuihama and the others, so you've come to flirt with me? You're such a suicidal guy, aren't you afraid of my fists at all?"

"It will definitely hurt."

Chunri held her aching head, while forcing a smile as she looked at her teacher.

"But you heard what I just told Komachi, right? I'm already used to being beaten by you, Master."

"Are you an idiot! You moron!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka, both amused and exasperated, punched Haruhi on the head again.

"Stop hitting my head! You'll make me even dumber if you keep hitting me!!"

"I don't care about you!!"

……

The scenery outside the window was slowly receding into the distance.

There was some traffic congestion on the highway.

Although it's summer vacation, it's also a weekday, and with the mixed traffic, you'll encounter this kind of traffic jam after traveling a certain distance.

Fortunately, as they got closer to Chiba Village, this situation naturally disappeared.

The van silently continued its ascent along the winding mountain road.

Finally, after several hours, we arrived at our destination, Chiba Village.

As soon as you get off the bus, everyone can feel the rich atmosphere of nature. Compared to the towering buildings of Chiba Prefecture, Chiba Village has a more natural and free feeling.

Is this the pride of being a Chiba native...?

Hiratsuka Shizuka parked her car in a designated parking lot, where several other cars were parked besides hers.

"It's been a long time since I've been here."

The teacher, who got off the car behind him, stretched his stiff neck and looked around at the familiar scenery. He still had the scent of the beautiful boy Ayaka on him.

"I remember the last time I came here was during a junior high school school trip."

"Hachiman, you came alone?"

Haruhi patted Hachiman on the shoulder.

"Don't look at me with that pitying expression as if I'll be forgotten by my classmates at the bus station. I did arrive at the meeting point on time, okay?"

As they were talking, Yui, Yukino, Ayaka, and Komachi got off the bus one after another.

Spring glanced at Little Snow, whose face looked somewhat tired.

He shook his head helplessly.

This girl, who now writes books part-time, stayed up all night last night just so she could fully enjoy this trip to Chiba Village.

He walked over quietly.

Silently, he picked up Xiaoxue's and his own two slightly heavy-looking luggage bags.
