Ignored

Then he saw the blue-haired girl in the bed by the wall, sleeping soundly with a pillow in her arms.

So it wasn't a dream.

Ren Yu rubbed his muddled head. Everything that had happened last night had been real.

At that moment, the blue-haired girl seemed to notice the movement on his side and opened her eyes as well.

Those eyes were an enchanting red!

"Hmph!"

"Sie" snorted coldly at Ren Yu, then immediately closed her eyes again as if nothing had happened.

Ren Yu laughed.

This Inner Sie was still holding a grudge.

But even Sie herself no longer resisted him, so what could an inner personality who put the host personality first possibly do to him?

He rolled out of bed, tidied up the bedding, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Not long after he had finished, violent knocking came from the door again.

Kiana was frantically pressing the doorbell and shouting loudly:

"Assistant Teacher? Assistant Teacher, are you awake? Mei told me to call you upstairs for breakfast!"

"Hurry up! I'm starving. If you're late, we won't wait for you!"

Click.

Ren Yu opened the door.

Kiana's waving fist flew straight toward his face.

Smack.

The next moment, her pale wrist landed in Ren Yu's hand.

"What are you making so much noise for? I'm coming."

Kiana even forgot to struggle as she said in astonishment:

"Hey, Assistant Teacher, how do you walk without making any sound? Even I didn't notice you reaching the door. Don't tell me... you're a ghost?"

Ignoring

Inside Himeko's dormitory.

As usual, she looked half-awake and half-asleep, lounging crookedly in her chair.

Mei had already prepared breakfast and set it on the table.

As soon as Kiana brought Ren Yu inside, she started yelling that she was hungry and wanted to eat immediately.

After breakfast, Ren Yu remembered that there was still a Sie in his room. He asked Mei for a lunchbox, filled it to the brim with hot porridge, and planned to take it back as her breakfast.

Kiana immediately complained:

"Assistant Teacher, that's way too shameless! It wasn't enough for you to mooch food and drinks—you're even packing some to take away!"

"Kiana, what are you saying? Since Assistant Teacher likes it, let him take some back."

Although Mei was also somewhat puzzled about why Ren Yu was packing an extra portion, she tactfully did not ask. She quickly filled a large container for him.

Taking the food container Mei handed over, Ren Yu looked at the meat porridge inside and nodded.

"Thanks, Mei. I'll train you properly tonight."

He did not stand on ceremony. After all, he would be giving her guidance tonight, so making a small request was nothing.

Just as Ren Yu was about to slip away, Himeko stopped him and asked suspiciously, "Wait, weren't you full already? Why are you packing food to take back? Don't tell me you're hiding some beauty in your room and seducing one of our school's female students?"

"..."

Ren Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he paused.

But his expression remained calm as he retorted confidently, "Ms. Himeko, slandering others is not good behavior."

"Your two students are still here. Is it really appropriate for a teacher to set that kind of example?"

Ren Yu turned around and glanced casually at Himeko, who was sitting astride her chair.

"I was teasing you. Why are you so nervous?"

Himeko set down the beer in her hand and chuckled. "You're really no fun. What's wrong with playing along with a joke?"

"But that joke wasn't funny."

Ren Yu shrugged. "It'd be just as bad as me loudly telling everyone outside that you're my girlfriend."

He really was hiding someone, but Sie was not a St. Freya student.

So Ren Yu was not worried at all.

Upon hearing that, Himeko's eyes suddenly lit up. Looking extremely excited, she slapped her beer can onto the table. "Sure! Go spread the word already. When the time comes, I'll suffer a little and cooperate with you. How about we make the act real?"

"..."

Only then did Ren Yu remember that Himeko was an older unmarried woman.

Meanwhile, two patches of unconcealable crimson had appeared on Himeko's cheeks.

She was obviously... drunk.

Ren Yu was speechless.

She could get drunk off beer?

Just how terrible was her alcohol tolerance?

"Teacher Himeko, even if it's Sunday, you can't start drinking this early in the morning..."

Mei began to complain.
