Inside Hiratsuka Shizuka room—
Nishimiya Shouko lowered her head.
She knew it had been wrong to get involved with Akira like that, since he already have a girlfriend... Girlfriends.
Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't say anything as she walked over step by step and reached out her hand.
Nishimiya Shouko closed her eyes.
The next second, a warm palm gently rested on her head.
She raised her head and looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka. Hiratsuka remove her hand as she used sign language to convey her message.
("The reason I brought you to school was to let you meet him....He's a unique person...I know he can reach your heart and make you happy, even if he's a little… complicated and has other girlfriends,") She said, her expression gentle as she sat next to Nishimiya Shouko.
Nishimiya Shouko listened quietly, absorbing every information.
("I don't know why, but I believe he can create a miracle. If he can't, then I would force him to marry you. That way, I'll feel at ease,")
Shizuka-sensei added the last thing jokingly, while gently stroking Nishimiya Shouko's hair with a smile.
Nishimiya Shouko shook her head, silently conveying the same thought.
She do want to stay with him but she still felt that she wasn't worthy of Akira Fujimiya.
.....
Early in the morning,
Akira Fujimiya woke while it was still quiet.
He glanced at Yuigahama Yui beside him, last night he had bring her to sleep together, she didn't let it show,but he knew she is sad about his behavior...nothing happen..they just sleep together,just that Yui was holding him tightly in her sleep.
He look at her gently, caressing her sleeping face, before he took out his phone, and sent a message.
Less than a minute later, a reply came.
Akira asked her to take a photo of her and send it to him.
{T/N: Nothing lewd mind you}
The other party stayed silent for a moment—then sent a picture.
The person in the photo wasn't Nishimiya Shouko, but a clenched fist.
Akira chuckled to himself, he knew—this was Hiratsuka-sensei's reply using Nishimiya Shouko's phone.
"So… Hiratsuka-sensei, how could you peek at messages on Shouko's phone?" he typed.
"I wasn't peeking. Shouko was right next to me," came the reply.
"Really? Then take a photo for me. I want to see what kind of pajamas she likes so I can take her shopping next time."
"Do you want to be spanked?"
"Hiratsuka-sensei, you can't hit me!"
"If you resist, I'll take her away."
"Sensei… I don't want to play this anymore."
"Come down and make breakfast with us."
Akira saw the messages and immediately got up—not before lightly kissing Yui head.
As he quickly got dressed, washed up, and went downstairs.
...
Arriving at the door of Hiratsuka-sensei's room,
Akira was about to knock when the door opened.
Nishimiya Naoko was wearing her Sobu uniform, cheeks flushed, looking at him, shyly.
Akira walked in, quickly changed into slippers, and suddenly took her hand, without saying anything.
Nishimiya Naoko blushed further and looked at him.
He glanced behind her and slowly approached.
Nishimiya Shouko seemed to understand and closed her eyes.
Just as Akira leaned in to kiss her, he noticed Hiratsuka-sensei standing there.
She held a notebook and observed quietly, coldly.
He should have stop or atleast hesitate a little.
But Akira didn't stop.
He kissed Nishimiya Naoko and hugged her firmly.
She didn't resist, nor did she try to leave his arms.
Seeing this, Hiratsuka-sensei's expression became complicated.
Without saying a word, she quietly left.
.....
After a while, Akira tried to move his hand inappropriately, but Nishimiya Shouko pushed it away.
She signed— ("No") clearly.
Akira signed back, explaining that this was a form of interaction between lovers, done unconsciously, not intentionally.
Nishimiya Shouko blushed and lowered her head.
Using sign language, she expressed that she couldn't do this —it wasn't proper.
Akira looked at her, captivated by her adorable reaction, and gently held her in his arms again.
She didn't resist.
They stayed like that for a while.
Finally, Akira suggested they cook breakfast.
Nishimiya Shouko shook her head.
("I can do it myself. Hiratsuka-sensei has been watching us—she'll be angry if you let me make her wait.") Akira asked her, pointing subtly to where Hiratsuka-sensei had been standing moments ago.
Nishimiya Shouko froze for a moment, feeling her face grow hot.
Had Hiratsuka-sensei really been watching just now?
How can she face her now.
.....
When breakfast was ready,
Akira went to wake up Yuigahama Yui.
She appeared sleepy-eyed, but after he helped her get dressed, she became more alert.
Once she had washed up, they went downstairs together.
Nishimiya Shouko took the responsibility of servings food to everyone.
Akira had cooked for everyone as well.
While Kawasaki Saki and Saori Tsurumi prepared lunch boxes.
Everyone enjoyed the breakfast together.
Nishimiya Shouko happily eating, she liked the lively atmosphere of Sakurasou.
She glanced at Tsurumi Rumi and Kawasaki Keika, then at Yuigahama Yui and Kawasaki Saki, and finally at Hiratsuka-sensei and Akira.
Akira noticed her gaze and quietly reached out his hand.
Nishimiya Shouko's face turned red. As she pushed his hand aside and lowered her head.
Hiratsuka-sensei noticed the small gesture and playfully stepped on Akira's foot.
Akira smiled awkwardly, as he withdrew his hand.
.....
On the way to school,
Yuigahama Yui had already thought about what to discuss with Nishimiya Shouko the night before.
She had written several pages and asked Nishimiya Shouko to read them first.
.....
During lunch break,
They would answer the questions together.
Nishimiya Shouko nodded and thanked Yui sincerely. She could feel Yui's genuine intentions.
Yuigahama Yui turned to Akira and asked for a few simple sign language gestures.
Akira simply passed the notebook that he was carring (don't know when someone may need it).
Yui glanced at the Notebook on his hand and quickly took it.
As she leaned closer and starting writing what she wanted to say, before showing it to Shouko without letting Akira even glance at it.
Nishimiya Naoko's cheeks gradually turned red as she read.
Hiratsuka-sensei walked ahead, ignoring the conversation between Nishimiya Shouko and Yuigahama Yui.
Akira and Kawasaki Saki followed a step behind.
While Yui and Nishimiya Naoko continued talking (by writing), Akira quietly held Saki Kawasaki's hand.
Saki was shy but did not pull away.
By the time they reached the school, Saki withdrew her hand, smiling gently.
.....
At the school gate,
Nishimiya Shouko saw Yukinoshita Yukino—the person Yui had mentioned. And she become nervous.
Yukino approached and stopped in front of her, extending a hand.
Nishimiya Shouko quickly took it, nervously.
Immediately afterward, Yukino handed her a letter.
"Yukino-chan, is this a love letter?" Akira asked from the side, teasingly.
Yukino rolled her eyes and signed to Nishimiya Naoko—
("This is the story between him and me.")
Yes, she had learn the sign language the moment Yui mention about her.
After knowing this, Nishimiya Shouko nodded slowly and signed that she would read the letter carefully.
Hiratsuka-sensei watched Yukino with a complicated expression.
Yukino feeling the gaze turned her head and smiled faintly at her.
....
Morning classes began.
Hiratsuka-sensei introduced the transfer student, Nishimiya Shouko.
Nishimiya Naoko wrote her name on the blackboard and nervously signed, ("Please give me your guidance.")
