Chabashira clearly saw Sakura sending a message to a student from another class.
The reply came quickly as well.
Sakura read aloud from the message the other person had sent. "P-please go into the classroom, and then... you don't need to do anything. Please just stand there."
Sakura pointed in a direction.
"W-what?" Chabashira seemed unable to understand.
Because it sounded like... all they needed was for her to enter the classroom.
She did not need to do anything else?
"B-because he said there was no need to demand that the teacher be able to do maid work. So only the minimum requirements are needed," Sakura said.
"He is..."
Chabashira had just confirmed that Sakura was contacting someone, but she had not seen the contact's name.
"It's Oreki," Sakura answered honestly.
But...
"Eh!"
"Is it Houtarou Oreki from Class A?" Chabashira asked.
"Mm-hm. Teacher Chabashira, do you know Oreki too?" Sakura had clearly been somewhat introverted just moments ago, struggling to communicate with others.
But now, her words suddenly became smooth and fluent.
This was probably what happened when the topic was something that put her at ease.
"Well..."
Did she know him?
Actually, she was quite familiar with him.
She had once been obsessed with the idea of arranging for Horikita to lead the class, then having Ayanokouji continue leading after the class rose to Class B.
Then perhaps the class would have a chance to advance.
That had been her obsession.
But what happened afterward had exceeded her expectations.
Because Horikita, that honest girl, had refused, and there was someone behind her.
That person was Houtarou Oreki.
Not only had he shattered her maneuvers and arrangements, he had also made her completely give up on class competition.
Now, she only hoped to finish teaching this batch of students,
