🍋Hoshinomiya Chie - Deal with Sensei II

Kiyo POV

After the 2nd day of the Zodiac Exam
Midnight

The pool that was crowded during the daytime was now empty. I was there, waiting for a certain someone.

Even though we were in the middle of summer, we were sailing right above the ocean's surface so the night was rather cold.

"Sorry for making you wait, Ayanokouji."

"It's okay. More importantly, I should be the one apologizing for calling you out this late."

"No problem. If you're the one calling me, it's not an issue."

I didn't notice it at first because of the dark, but her face was looking deathly pale.

"Are you okay, Sae-sensei? Your face is looking quite pale."

"... Don't worry about it. It's just adult stuff. Anyway, what did you need?"

I could more or less understand the situation since I could smell the scent of alcohol coming from her breath.

"I just wanted to ask a question. In this school, you can buy anything with points. But I assume there are exceptions to this, am I correct?"

"I suppose so. For example, you can't buy the lives of teachers and students. That's something the school would never allow."

"Then, what was the--"

Before I could finish my question, I quickly sensed the presence of another person approaching.

"Ya-hallo, Sae-chan! You feeling good?"

The person was Hoshinomiya sensei. Was it a coincidence? I doubt it. The probability of that was infinitely low. It was more likely that she followed Sae-sensei here.

"... Aren't you drunk?"

"Hmm? Me? Of course not!~"

Hoshinomiya turned to me with a beaming smile on her face. The look in her eyes, however... it was only for a moment but I saw it. It was one of hunger and desire.

"Ya-hallo, Ayanokouji-kun! Are you feeling well?"

Acting overly familiar with me, she got close to me and put her hands on my shoulders. She was so close I could feel her breath.

She's trying to maintain her cool facade, but I noticed Sae-sensei's eyebrow twitch for a moment.

"If I wasn't, I wouldn't be here." I answered

Someone underage like me wouldn't know, but is alcohol really that good of a drink? I'm quite curious. It's sold in the convenience store but students aren't allowed to purchase it. If I ever meet a supplier, who knows? I might do some experimenting.

"A really cute answer, Ayanokouji-kun. So, does Ayanokouji-kun like tsundere onee-sans like Sae-chan?" Hoshinomiya-sensei asked me.

"Don't do that with students. It's unprofessional." Sae-Sensei said as she pulled Hoshinomiya-sensei away from me.

That's rich coming from you of all people, Sae-sensei.

I remembered the conversation the teachers had that I overheard yesterday. There were implications of Hoshinomiya-sensei putting Ichinose in the rabbit group to keep track of me.

There also seems to be some sort of competition between teachers. While the students were facing off against each other in special exams, the teachers were fighting in their own way, deceiving each other to get to the top.

Is it for an increase in salary? Or is it something that carried over from their student days? It's something only they know.

"So, what are the two of you taking about this late in the night?"
