Chapter 20 Suspension

Suspension

“Forget the doomed reunion vibe. Sit down quickly.”

As if pouring water on her, Seira’s homeroom teacher orders her to sit in a chair. His eyebrows are furrowed, showing a hint of irritation.

“…I-I understand.”

Sensing the change in her homeroom teacher’s mood, Seira distances herself from Ishii and obediently follows the order.

She sits down on a chair in front of Ishii.

Ishii sits on a chair in front of Seira. Next to him, Ishii’s homeroom teacher sits with a stern expression on his face and a well-defined posture. It was intimidating. Seira’s homeroom teacher was the same.

For a while, there was silence in the counseling room. No one spoke. So no words were spoken.

Of course, Seira and Ishii did not open their mouths. It was not an atmosphere where they could open their mouths easily. If they opened their mouths and spoke words, their two homeroom teachers would surely blame them.

But strangely enough, the two homeroom teachers are also silent. As if their mouths were sealed, not a single word was uttered.

This depressing moment continued for several minutes.

“There is a reason why I asked you two to gather in the counseling room today. I’m sure you all know the reason….”

It was Seira’s homeroom teacher who broke the silence. He spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, destroying the atmosphere from earlier. His expression was stern. He didn’t seem to be calm inside.

Shifting his eyes from side to side, Seira’s homeroom teacher looked at Seira and Ishii alternately.

Of course, Seira and Ishii made eye contact with Seira’s homeroom teacher. His sharp eyes caught Seira and Ishii.

Uncomfortable, Seira and Ishii looked away. Neither of them could look back.

“Since this morning, information has been spreading like wildfire. The information is about Ishii and Ito. Not only did you come out of the love hotel, but Ito was stolen by Ishii. That kind of information. Many students have jumped on this information and are very interested.”

Ishii’s homeroom teacher gets up from his chair and begins to speak as if repeating the words of Seira’s homeroom teacher.

He starts walking around the room. The sound of his leather shoes hitting the floor echoes through the room.

“There is evidence to support this information. A student provided me, her homeroom teacher, with a photo. Here it is.”

Ishii’s homeroom teacher took out his own smartphone and showed it to Seira and Ishii.

The screen of the phone was the lock screen. And the lock screen was a photo of Seira and Ishii just after they came out of the entrance of the love hotel.

He probably set the lock screen in advance so that he would immediately take out the photo from his phone.

Meanwhile, Seira and Ishii were speechless and unable to say anything. Their faces had lost all color. Pale would be the right word to describe them. They were far beyond shock.

“That reaction. I guess I can take that as tacit approval.”

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Seira’s homeroom teacher spoke some heartbreaking words. As if to add insult to injury.

“Eh! No!”

“That’s not the case!”

At the same time, Seira and Ishii tried to explain.

But the two homeroom teachers cruelly refused to listen. They didn’t even look at them and completely ignored them.

“Whatever! We have conclusive evidence. Therefore, you two will be suspended. We will contact you later about the length of your suspension. Anyway, this is where the story ends. You should return home as soon as possible.”

With a cold final remark, Seira’s homeroom teacher opens the door to the counseling room by force.

“Wait a minute, please! Wait, are we suspended from school?! Also, I can’t believe I’m being asked to go home all of a sudden.”

Seira gets up from her seat with a panicked look on her face. She clearly wants to protest.

“Y-Yes! Isn’t that a bit too harsh a punishment?!”

Seizing the opportunity, Ishii also joins the protest.

“Don’t shout! And don’t talk back! Just follow the instructions. Besides, you enjoyed illicit s🬀🬀ual relations even though you were minors. There are many schools where suspension is not enough. I think you are lucky to be suspended. That’s all.”

After rambling on about what he wanted to say, Seira’s homeroom teacher pointed firmly out of the counseling room without giving her a chance to argue.

He has no intention of accepting any objections.

““…””

After looking left and right, Seira and Ishii look at each other. On both sides, there is a mood of resignation.

The atmosphere in the counseling room was one of disregard as if no matter how much they resisted, no one would pay any attention to them. Of course, the two homeroom teachers took no notice of them either.

Seira and Ishii nodded silently and quickly left the counseling room as if they were running away from a monster. They did not even look at the two homeroom teachers. Or rather, it would be more accurate to say that they avoided them.

Seira and Ishii completely disappeared from the counseling room.

The two homeroom teachers could not see what Seira and Ishii were doing.

They looked at each other for a moment, and then both let out a heavy sigh.

Then Seira’s homeroom teacher, who had been standing nearby, firmly closed the door to the counseling room.
