173 – Addicted Teacher
I thought I would be late for my appointment.
It was simply because I woke up late, but I rushed out in a hurry, making various excuses to Haruna.
She wasn’t particularly angry or rushed, but she said she was the one who got to the meeting place first.
The more I did that, the faster my steps became.
The day she came out dressed up for her date. If it blooms quietly in a downtown area with a much more noticeable presence than usual, insects attracted by its scent will be attracted.
Based on past experience, I made arrangements to arrive on time before Haruna or meet her in front of her house, but today I accidentally overslept.
I felt sorry for keeping Haruna waiting, and I was also worried about what kind of awkward situation she might find herself in when she was alone.
Moreover, Haruna said that she had recently felt the gaze of a ‘stalker’.
Of course, I never called her a stalker. Although she said it might just be her mood.
I didn’t think so.
If Haruna felt it, it definitely meant that someone was looking behind her with a purpose.
As someone who has seen countless villains approach these girls, I could only think that way.
To be honest, Senpai and Shiraishi weren’t as worried as Haruna.
Because they are both women who have the ability to protect themselves.
Haruna, on the other hand, is not like that.
She was like that from the first time we met, but she was easily swayed.
There may be a reason why her mind was in a state of confusion, but she herself did not have a clear will.
So, she used to hesitate even with the captain of the soccer team and with other hunters who spoke to her on the street.
But on top of that, he’s a stalker.
There is one more thing to worry about.
With that in mind, I quickly headed to my destination.
Because I have to protect Haruna.
After receiving a text message saying I had entered a nearby cafe, I opened the door.
I look around her to find a place for her to sit alone.
On weekends, cafes in downtown areas were full of customers and noisy.
Meanwhile, I saw some men gathered around a seat.
No way….
Although I sighed, I approached the spot.
“Don’t do that, just give me your number~”
“You’re being pretentious. “You’re okay with that arrangement, right?”
It was a familiar situation that I had seen often.
It is frequent enough to be called déjà vu.
I’ve always been careful about situations like this, so I haven’t had any trouble recently.
“I have company.”
I heard Haruna’s voice.
As I approached her, I remembered the first time I had protected her from her men.
We were not lovers at that time.
I was far away, secretly watching Haruna and Yuuki’s date from behind.
While waiting at her appointment, she was surrounded by men.
What did she look like back then?
Despite her beautifully dressed appearance and beautiful appearance that would make viewers admire her, her gaze wandered as if she had nowhere to go and her shoulders were slumped.
Haruna was such a fragile girl that her appearance gave more room to the men who attacked her, and even her expression of rejection was accepted as a formality.
What emotions did I feel when I saw Haruna like that?
Yes, it was frustrating.
Although I was frustrated with her, I felt sorry for her.
If she had the confidence to match her beauty, she would definitely be able to become a more attractive woman.
That’s why I wanted to protect Haruna.
So, I am still….
No, I thought that I might have to protect her forever from now on.
“Don’t do that~ You want to come with us?”
“Okay. “A man who makes a pretty woman wait like this is disqualified from being a boyfriend.”
But is that possible?
Even if I can do it right now, will I be able to protect her forever in the future?
I also had those doubts at the same time.
If something happens and I can’t protect her.
What should I do if Haruna is in danger?
The moment when I think of her complicated thoughts and try to get to her through the crowd of men.
“What did you say just now?”
My outstretched hand stopped.
Her men also looked at her in confusion.
“Huh? “What do you mean?”
“Now that you’re my boyfriend, come with us…” .”
Haruna interrupted the conversation and shouted.
“I have a much cooler boyfriend than you guys!”
“Huh? Ah….”
When they see her making an unexpected outburst, the men who stiffen her silence her.
She was confused, as if she had never expected that she, with her gentle and timid appearance, would suddenly get angry.
“It’s not a disqualification at all! “How many times have I said this before?”
Haruna suddenly stood up from her seat, pushing her chair back.
“I have company!”
“Oh, no, I mean….”
“Hmph!”
She pushed them away without fear and Haruna came forward.
“Huh? “Minsu.”
“Haruna….”
“What, if you came, just say you came.”
Anger Her young expression returned to the gentle look it had when she was with me, and she wrapped her arms around me.
“I waited so long?”
“Oh, sorry.”
Haruna led me, ignoring the men standing behind her.
“Do I have to stay with you for as long as I’ve waited?”
“Yes….”
Leaving the cafe.

Feeling a little dazed, I walked down the street with her and chatted with her.
I may have felt the same to some extent as the men left behind in the cafe.
When I saw Haruna at that time, I was so shocked that I couldn’t say anything.
Stand in front of the crosswalk and wait for the red light.
Haruna, clinging to her side, was humming her song. She seems to be in good spirits.
So, taking advantage of that opportunity, I asked.
“Haruna.”
“Huh?”
“At the cafe earlier… “Weren’t you being hunted again?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Haruna calmly nodded her head.
“Why?”
“No, what should I say.”
Scratching my cheek.
“You refused boldly… “Because I want to.”
“Huh?”
The light turns green. People started crossing.
“What, that was what bothered me…” ?”
Haruna asked with a faint smile.
When she nodded, Haruna unwrapped her arms and walked ahead of her.
“Someone told me. In that case, refuse firmly. “Tell her she has a boyfriend.”
“……….”
Although she knew who that ‘who’ was.
“Be confident. “He looked me in the eyes and spoke clearly.”
I did not show it.
“What are you doing? “Let’s cross quickly.”
Looking back at her, Haruna extended her hand towards me.
When I gently stretched out her arm and grabbed her hand, she pulled me with all her might.
As she was drawn to Haruna, she realized that it wasn’t just her senior or Shiraishi who had changed.

She takes off her gown and throws it away.
I lay down on the bed and held her pillow in my arms.
I hugged the blanket and took a deep breath.
I suck in his scent filling my lungs.
It was a stupid thing to do, but there was nothing she could do since she had already fallen in love with it.
Yes, I was deeply into this act.
I continued to keep in my mind the existence of the person who was the only one who knew me, and who did not deny it and did not move away from me.
I know you don’t like me.
But… Nevertheless….
Early afternoon on the weekend. After he left in a huff, I came back in and was on his bed the whole time.
Of course, I don’t know about that man.
You would never dream that such an unpleasant woman would sneak into your house.
“Seup… ha….”
That made me even more excited and I hugged his pillow tightly.
If you get to know me like this, will you then get tired of me and distance yourself from me?
Will they glare at me with disgust and run away?
No. I didn’t even want to imagine that situation. I don’t want to be hated anymore.
Then you can just quit doing this.
But I couldn’t stop lying on his bed and taking deep breaths.
Rubbing my body and covering up my own body odor is also something.
No matter when I got caught, I was doing something strange.
If he came back in a hurry because he left something behind, I would end up showing myself like this.
“Ha… Phew….”
Then you will never be able to smell him again.
You won’t even be able to kiss.
And you will never come near me again.
Ah, that much.
I slowly got up and tried to figure out a way.
Even if you were looking for a place to hide, this room doesn’t even have enough space. Because it’s a small studio.
I opened the refrigerator and took out a plastic bottle containing the remaining barley tea.
He often drank this instead of water….
I opened the bottle cap and put my mouth to the mouth.
Rather than the excitement of having an indirect kiss, I realized how far I had fallen and felt a sense of satisfaction and a chill.
“Ha….”
When I raise my head, a long thread hangs from the mouth of the plastic bottle and breaks.
When I shook the plastic bottle, the barley tea left inside was flowing.
Watching it blankly, I put my hands in my pockets.
I took out the medicine bag from inside and opened it without hesitation.
Take out a pill the size of a fingernail. Although it was small, it had the strongest sleeping effect and I put it in a bottle.
Then he slowly shook the bottle until it dissolved.
