The next day, Tuesday morning, after the third period ended.

Kato Yusuke was called to the office by Nakamura Masaru.

"So, Kato - can't you think of a way?" the other party suddenly asked in such a confused manner.

"Find a way...what do you mean?"

"Cunning boy... stop pretending to be stupid here, you know what I'm talking about."

Nakamura Masaru rolled the textbook in his hand into a paper tube and hit his head twice with "dong dong~".

""The students in your class are all staring at Kato-san in class, and there is no way to teach this class!"...How many teachers do you think I have heard complaining like this?"

Kato Yusuke was indifferent to this, calmly pushed up the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:

"Fundamentally speaking, I think my situation is no easier than yours. Rather, as a teacher, can't you think of a way to help me solve my dilemma?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Nakamura Masaru raised his lips in a funny way.

"Oh, that means you think you are too popular, so you want me to help you solve the situation of being surrounded by girls?"

"Basically, it would be nice if you could be more serious. But yeah, that's what I mean."

"Who asked you to make such big news? If you really want to tell the truth, boys who are too popular with girls will easily be disliked by their peers. It is very rare for you to be popular with boys at the same time.

?”

"Well, you are just having fun, right? So, have you heard the latest news from the school forum?"

"What?"

Kato Yusuke showed a formulaic smile, "Don't you know? "A certain student in Class E of the first year is more handsome than a teacher who graduated from a certain Tokyo University!" This seems to be the mainstream view recently."

"——??"

Nakamura Katsuki was dumbfounded.

What did this kid just say??

A teacher who graduated from Tokyo University???

I (°Д°≡°д°), bah!

Having said that, what's the difference between saying his name directly?

It’s simply unbearable—!

He just looked at Kato Yusuke with twitching eyes, a hash mark appeared near his forehead, and his mood suddenly became not so good.

On the contrary, Kato Yusuke had a more sincere smile on his face. After all, the fun of people watching the fun was not that interesting.

"... Even if you say so, it's a pity that I don't follow the school forum, Kato-san."

"It doesn't matter, because I looked at it for you very considerately, Mr. Nakamura."

"Tsk, let me tell you, regardless of the authenticity of that rumor...but you don't think that wearing glasses makes you gentler, do you?"

"It's all defined as rumors, is there any truth at all?" Kato Yusuke secretly cursed in his heart, while shaking his head to deny it.

"...I'm sorry, you misunderstood."

He said calmly: "I only wear glasses to reduce some troubles, and I have no other ideas."

Nakamura Masaru looked at him for a while and suddenly asked: "Did a girl give you these glasses?"

"...What?" Kato Yusuke was stunned for a moment.

"Ho~? Judging from your reaction, I must have thought correctly." Nakamura Sheng smiled half-heartedly, "So, who gave it to you?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

"It's not irrelevant. It's your responsibility as a teacher to guide students through a healthy campus life and prevent them from reaching an irreversible point, right?"

"If you really think so, should you help me solve my current troubles first?"

"I won't do such an annoying thing to help a popular student block the approach of others. That will only push you to the opposite side of everyone, so you have to find a way to solve it yourself."

Kato Yusuke frowned slightly and whispered: "...Not everyone wants to live a colorful campus life."

Nakamura Masaru responded fluently: "As a student, you can think like this, but as a teacher, I can't think like this, not to mention that this is simply a luxury worry."

Both sides insist on their own opinions, and no one can convince the other.

All in all, compared to a pragmatist like him who doesn't like to be too ostentatious, Nakamura Katsu is the kind of yang who is consistent on the outside.

Although the other party was indeed very kind to him...

"Besides—"

Nakamura Masaru grimaced in a rare way, stood up, and suddenly whispered in his ear:

"Even the gods won't have any objection to letting a guy surrounded by D-cup and E-cup suffer a little."

Who are you talking about!?

Let’s not mention Shiyu-senpai for now, but Megumi’s words...

——This crooked teacher!

Kato Yusuke couldn't stand it and stared with a pair of dead fish eyes, and whispered back: "...Be careful, I will report you, bastard teacher!"

Nakamura Masaru shrugged indifferently and gave him a nonchalant look.

"Idiot, this is in return for disturbing the order of the school."

One second he was joking, the next second he changed into a serious tone.

"Also, cartoonists are very powerful ~ I am very proud to have a student like you, but I still have to remember not to cause trouble to the teachers."

After he finished speaking, he patted his shoulder encouragingly.

"..."

Kato Yusuke glanced at the hand on his shoulder, tilted his face slightly and thought for a moment, then said in a pretentious manner:

"For the sake of this sentence, if one day you are reported for speaking out without restraint... I wouldn't mind leaving you a position as an assistant (laughs)."

Nakamura Katsu was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised his eyebrows and replied with an imposing face.

"——Get back to class quickly, you stinking little brat!"

Kato Yusuke followed his example and shrugged, without further argument, he nodded with a smile, then turned around and left.

◇

It’s lunch break.

——Keng!!

The powerful fly ball flew straight towards the center field of the stadium, and the strong wind brought by it even hurt people's cheeks.

"——You bastard! Do you want to kill me!?" He stood on the pitcher's mound, stamping his feet and yelling.

In contrast, someone standing next to home plate put down the bat easily.

"I'm sorry, I'll be gentler with the next ball."

"There's a damn next ball! Besides, you hit it so far, who do you want to ask to pick it up for you? You bastard!"

Yamaguchi's words had just finished...

"""——Brother Kato!"""

Three overlapping male voices suddenly sounded, and the trio from the baseball club appeared in front of them.

The leader, Ito, looked admiringly, took out the baseball in his hand, and shouted enthusiastically: "Here you go, we got the ball back!"

Kato Yusuke couldn't help but was slightly startled, but he still reached out and took the baseball, "...Thanks, but I'm just practicing with my friends. I can just pick it up myself afterward."

"How can this be done! How can you let Brother Kato do such a thing!"

"That's right! Just leave this little matter to us and we'll be fine!"

Sato and Saito, who were standing behind, said one after another, looking at him with the same enthusiasm.

Not only was Takei dumbfounded by the appearance of the three of them, but even Yamaguchi, who was walking over on his back, couldn't help but smack his lips.

"You mean, do you think Kato is too highly regarded? Three seniors."

He was just joking casually, but unexpectedly it aroused a fierce reaction.

"There's no such thing! It's our honor to be able to help Brother Kato!" Ito spoke generously.

"Brother Ito is right! Brother Kato is our idol!" Sato nodded.

"Not only is he smart and strong, he plays baseball well and is popular with girls, but he can even draw comics so well! He is simply a god!" Saito raised his fists and bare sleeves, spitting.

As if emotions suddenly surged up, Ito asked loudly to the two people on the left and right: "Tell me! Sato, Saito, who are we?"

""We are Brother Kato's personal bodyguards!""

"Tell me loudly, who is Brother Kato!"

""is God!!""
