Afternoon Study Session
Fueled by rewards and determination, the Supplementary Lessons Club studied hard. Morning and afternoon sessions split their day, and now, munching Mash's late-night cream puffs, they pushed through.
"Koharu, question," Azusa said.
"Me!?" Koharu yelped.
"Yeah, we're studying the same stuff. This problem…" Azusa pointed.
"Uh, okay…" Koharu peered at Azusa's workbook. Recognizing the problem, she grinned. "I know this! You draw a line here at 90 degrees, like this—"
She sketched confidently, explaining with diagrams. Mash quietly nodded, impressed.
"So, these triangles align, got it?" Koharu finished.
"Understood. Thanks, Koharu. Justice Realization Committee elite, indeed," Azusa said.
"W-Well, yeah! Elite! If you're stuck, ask me—special permission!" Koharu beamed.
"Thanks," Azusa said.
"Quite the bond after that naked encounter ♡," Hanako teased.
"Not like that!" Koharu shouted.
"Hanako wants a bath too?" Azusa asked.
"Let's all wash together next ♡," Hanako purred.
"No way!" Koharu snapped.
"I heard nothing," Mash said.
"Don't take it seriously!" Koharu yelled.
Just a shared shower, yet Koharu was misunderstood—poor girl.
"Koharu, one more," Azusa said, pointing to a tougher problem.
"Uh… this one…" Koharu struggled, then rummaged through her bag. "Here!" She slammed a book on the desk.
It was an ◯da◯◯ book.
"?" Mash tilted his head.
"?" Azusa blinked.
"!" Hifumi flushed.
"!?" Hanako's eyes lit up.
Mash and Azusa were confused by the unfamiliar cover. Hifumi guessed its contents, blushing. Hanako, thrilled to see such a book here, flushed with excitement.
"A reference book?" Azusa asked.
"Yeah, this—wait, what!?" Koharu froze.
"Erotic book," Hanako said.
"Nooo! Why!?" Koharu hurled the book, fleeing to the corner, face red.
Hanako advanced. "Koharu-chan, that's an erotic book, right? No hiding—'R18' was clear! ♡"
"No! Misunderstanding! It's not!" Koharu insisted.
"…" Mash and Azusa, clueless, exchanged question marks. Hifumi, too red to ask, was no help.
"It's not mine!" Koharu cried.
"No fooling me. Hardcore stuff—rare even in Kivotos! Skin on skin, sensitive spots, moans, reason flying out the window…" Hanako rambled.
"Ugh!" Koharu shrank.
"Why do you have it? School rules ban these," Hanako pressed.
"It's not mine! I… uh…" Koharu floundered.
"It came from your bag. A favorite to bring to camp?" Hanako teased.
Panting, Hanako looked like a creep excited by a younger girl.
"Maybe not so weird. Prep for camp, right? ♡" Hanako said.
"It's not!" Koharu wailed, grabbing the book to flee.
But then…
"…" Mash flipped through it, expressionless, purely curious about the R18 content.
"!?" Koharu screamed.
"Sensei, no! Don't look!" Hifumi yelled.
"Oh my! ♡" Hanako gasped.
"Sensei, show me!" Azusa said.
"No! Not Azusa-chan!" Hifumi shouted.
"It's an ◯◯◯◯ book! Excites everyone! That's what it is!" Hanako exclaimed.
"Stop, Hanako-chan, or I'm really mad!" Koharu snapped.
"It's a chance for Sensei to learn!" Hanako insisted.
"No need for that!" Koharu retorted.
"Sensei, return it to Koharu-chan…" Hifumi pleaded.
Hanako expected Mash to blush, giving her a playful edge. But…
"???" Mash stayed stone-faced, genuinely unfazed.
"No way…" Hanako muttered.
"What's inside, Sensei?" Azusa asked.
"Lots of… kissing? Long scenes, like two pages, panting," Mash said.
"Kissing… like CPR? There's another meaning?" Azusa asked.
"Heard lovers do it," Mash said.
"Lovers… anything else?" Azusa pressed.
"Holding hands, blushing, undressing… and something about 'I'll touch you—'"
"Stop!!" Hifumi shrieked, snatching the book and shoving it back to Koharu, panting. "Sensei, forget everything you saw!"
"Everything?" Mash asked.
"Yes!" Hifumi insisted.
"That's sudden…"
"Forget, or I'll make you!" Hifumi threatened.
"That bad?" Mash asked.
"Yes!" Hifumi yelled.
"Okay, I'll forget," Mash said.
"Azusa-chan too!" Hifumi turned.
"Me? I saw nothing," Azusa said.
"Forget what you heard!" Hifumi demanded.
"Your character's off, Hifumi," Azusa noted.
Hifumi grabbed their hands. "Answer!"
"Yes, ma'am," they said.
"Good…" Hifumi sighed.
"No way…" Hanako muttered.
"Give up. Those clueless two? Pointless," Koharu said.
They forced themselves to forget.
After the Chaos
Koharu explained.
"So, Koharu handles confiscated items for the Justice Realization Committee. Probably took it by mistake—common with so many items," Hifumi said.
"Yeah, I was organizing the inventory…" Koharu mumbled.
"Heard Trinity's library basement has banned books. If the Committee seizes them, it makes sense," Hanako said.
"But taking it out's bad, right?" Hifumi asked.
"Yeah," Hanako agreed.
Taking confiscated items was a big no—no. Getting caught would be trouble.
"Better return it quick. Even if it's not yours, suspicion's bad," Hifumi said.
"True. Even if forgotten in your bag…" Mash added.
"Maybe sneak it back to the Committee?" Hanako suggested casually.
"Now?" Koharu blinked.
"Sooner's better," Hanako said.
"I guess…" Koharu hesitated.
"I'll go with you, Koharu-chan," Mash offered.
"Really?" Koharu asked.
"Yup. If we're caught, I'll explain—or apologize. Hasumi-san'll forgive us," Mash said.
"Apologize!?" Koharu yelped.
Mash had often apologized alongside students for their mistakes—no complaints.
"By the way, Koharu-chan…" Hanako grinned.
"What!?" Koharu braced.
"Any other recommendations? ♡"
"I don't know, idiot!" Koharu snapped.
"Let's go," Mash said.
Koharu and Mash headed to the Justice Realization Committee's room.
