Chapter 200

Silver Feather seems to care a lot about Teacher Haihara.

Kirishima Ai had forgotten how she responded to Silver Feather afterward; the dream ended quickly, and she drifted back to sleep.

Despite having strange dreams, Kirishima Ai slept well.

When she woke up the next day, she didn't feel tired at all; she felt full of energy.

I'm still a little sleepy, though.

She wanted to sleep a little longer, but the alarm clock had already gone off.

She groggily got up and felt the difference between the morning chill and the temperature of the bed; Kirishima Ai shivered.

It's so cold.

She wanted to go back to bed or take a hot shower.

But she still had to get up in the end, because she had successfully made an appointment with Teacher Haihara to go on a hot spring trip today, and no matter how reluctant she was to leave her bed, she had no choice.

After her eyelids drooped for a while, she almost completely forgot her dream from last night.

When she got up, Kirishima Ai rubbed her eyes and suddenly noticed something beside her bed.

It was a translucent, silvery-white Crystal, its outline now reflected in the morning light, and it was very beautiful.

She had completely forgotten when she put the Silver Feather Magic Crystal by her bedside.

Although she now uses Phoenix Crystal more often than Silver Feather Crystal is still important to her.

Kirishima Ai carefully put away the Silver Feather Crystal, then went to the bathroom to wash up.

While washing up, she couldn't resist sending a text message to Teacher Haihara out of curiosity.

Specifically, she was telling Teacher Haihara that she was already up and getting ready.

But soon, she received a text message:

"I'll wait for you downstairs. Remember to eat breakfast, no need to rush."

When Teacher Haihara is not in school, she seems to be quite gentle.

Kirishima Ai stood in front of the mirror, gargling and making her mouth full of foam. Her skin was almost bloodless in the morning, and her large eyelids were heavy with sleep, making her look rather listless.

Suddenly, she realized something was wrong.

She awkwardly sent a text message to Teacher Haihara with only one hand:

"Teacher, are you downstairs at my house now? Have you had breakfast?"

She had just gotten up.

It was around 7:30 in the morning.

Soon, Teacher Haihara replied to her.

"No, no."

I answered both of her questions.

Kirishima Ai rinsed her mouth a little too quickly, and her face puffed up in the mirror, making her look quite comical, while she was still texting her teacher with one hand:

"Teacher, please go upstairs first. I'll make you breakfast."

She hadn't expected Teacher Haihara to arrive so quickly.

Another thing she didn't expect was that Teacher Haihara went upstairs faster than she had imagined.

She had just been wiping the water droplets off her face with a towel when she heard a knock at the door.

She quickly put the towel back, Kirishima Ai walked to the door and opened it.

"Welcome... teacher! My house is a bit messy, please excuse me."

Kirishima Ai lowered her head, unable to hide her nervousness as she spoke.

After taking a closer look at the woman standing in the doorway, Kirishima Ai momentarily forgot her nervousness and began to feel strange.

Although the person at the door was Teacher Haihara, she was wearing casual clothes, which is quite rare for Haibara-sensei.

Recently, one thing that everyone in the class knows is that Teacher Haihara has cut her hair short.

In Kirishima Ai's opinion, this does not diminish Teacher Haihara's charm.

Today, Teacher Haihara, despite having a neutral short haircut, opted for a more feminine outfit, wearing a dark blue long dress cinched with a leather belt, which accentuated her tall figure and slender femininity.

On the outside, she wore a conservative black collarless coat, which perfectly matched Teacher Haihara's temperament.

The teacher's exposed earlobes were adorned with very feminine earrings.

Yes, earrings.

It's an accessory that the teacher has only recently started wearing.

The gemstones used on it are a beautiful color, a pure white like feathers.

How to describe it? It's very similar to the color of the Wingless Bird Takanashi Crystal that Takanashi used to have.

Good morning, I think I'm too early. You don't look dressed yet.

With her hands in her coat pockets, Teacher Haihara calmly gazed at Kirishima Ai standing by the door.

Kirishima Ai paused for a moment, and after noticing Teacher Haihara's gaze, she realized that she hadn't changed into her outdoor clothes yet and was still in her pajamas.

At this moment, the girl's loose pajamas had several buttons undone at the collar, revealing the immature lines of her chest and most of her fair and tender shoulder.

"..."

Kirishima Ai lowered her head, her face suddenly burning hot, but what embarrassed her even more was that the woman in front of her had seen her blushing.

However, there probably isn't anything particularly attractive about her.

Anyway... we'll be completely naked in the hot springs soon.

Perhaps she needs to adapt in advance.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that Teacher Haihara was leaning closer.

She was confused for a moment.

Then, the woman's cool hand stroked her head, gently smoothing down her scalp and taming the unruly hair that had stood up in the morning.

"Her hair is all messed up too."

The woman's tone was still calm this morning, but it was different from usual.

Kirishima Ai gazed warmly at Haihara, watching this tall, older woman gently pat her head like a mother, tidying her messy hair from the morning.

Next, I'm going on a hot spring trip with my teacher.

Chapter Six: A Road Trip for Teachers and Students

While having breakfast with Kirishima Ai, Haihara a sense of nostalgia.

The word "nostalgia" is not quite appropriate.

She and Kirishima Ai hadn't eaten together much, and generally speaking, they wouldn't have developed such feelings. But this morning, Haihara did have a slight thought of that.

Perhaps it could also be described as a sense of peace of mind.

The food Kirishima Ai cooked tasted very similar to the food she remembered from her own home.

It's embarrassing.

With that thought in mind, Haihara ate her breakfast slowly and deliberately.

While eating, she was also intentionally or unintentionally glancing at the young girl who would be going on a two-day hot spring trip with her.

Kirishima kept his head down and ate in small bites.

Objectively speaking, Kirishima's eating manners are quite adorable; she's quiet and well-behaved, like a little bird.

At this moment, Haihara was thinking that she didn't seem to know much about Kirishima Ai's private life, and didn't know what this girl usually did or what she liked.

But based on her intuition alone, Haihara felt that Kirishima Ai was probably the type of woman who would be a perfect wife.

Just like Ms. Suzuki.

It seems there are quite a few boys in the class who secretly have a crush on Kirishima.

Unfortunately, for the next two days or so, the person soaking in the hot spring with Kirishima Ai was not anyone else, but her unpopular homeroom teacher.

This doesn't sound like youthful romance at all; on the contrary, it sounds quite immoral.

Soon after, Haihara and Kirishima Ai finished eating.

Their plan was to drive, so they wouldn't have to catch the tram and could leave at any time. Considering it was a trip that would last more than two days, they decided to wash the dishes before leaving.

As the two were turning off the lights and preparing to leave, a small incident occurred.

"Well..."

Kirishima Ai tried to lift the suitcase several times, only to find that it was much heavier than she had imagined.

She was so excited while packing her luggage last night that she didn't even realize it.

Moreover, she had little travel experience, and before she knew it, she had absorbed everything into her trip.

At this point, she wasn't a Magic girl.

It would be a bit difficult for her to carry it downstairs.

Just as she was thinking this, the woman next to her picked up Kirishima Ai's suitcase with one hand.

"I'll get it for you, you lock the door."

Teacher Haihara said calmly, then picked up Kirishima Ai's suitcase and went downstairs.

Kirishima Ai remained where she was, blinking.

In fact, Haihara is nearly 1.8 meters tall. It's no exaggeration to say that most of the boys in her class are not as tall as their homeroom teacher.

Occasionally, classmates would discuss Haihara's height in private.

After all, most people in this country seem to think that women are more cute when they are petite.

But as for Kirishima Ai, Teacher Haihara's tall stature is definitely something that makes her heart flutter.

Well, how should I put it?

They are mature and reliable, making people want to rely on them and act spoiled.

On the other hand, it seems... it can also evoke a desire for conquest.

Kirishima Ai sometimes couldn't help but imagine how satisfying and exciting it would be to have a tall woman like Teacher Haihara pinned beneath her.

She might never dare to utter such a shameless thought in her entire life.

After locking the door, she quickly went downstairs and saw Teacher Haihara had already put her luggage in the trunk.

Kirishima Ai noticed that Teacher Haihara was still driving the same car that the beautiful female principal was driving today.

This struck Kirishima Ai as somewhat odd.

Although Teacher Haihara drove her home in this car the day she fell ill, is Teacher Haihara's relationship with the headmistress so good that she could lend her car out for more than two days?

However, after sitting in the passenger seat of the car, Kirishima Ai awkwardly fastened her seatbelt. When she glanced at Kirishima Ai -Teacher Haihara sitting next to her, she felt a strange sense of security.

Now, it's time to set off.

To be honest, when Haihara was driving, she would occasionally notice Kirishima Ai sitting in the passenger seat, and she felt like she was with her little girlfriend.

Yeah, my little girlfriend.

A high school girl, during her three-day holiday, instead of spending time with her family or friends, went to a hot spring with an older woman she rarely interacted with, a place so far from home.

Haihara could only think of this kind of decadent relationship.

Fortunately, their relationship is actually healthier.

They were a young female teacher in her twenties and a sixteen-year-old female student.

The parents of this Problem Child must have felt relieved after hearing this.
