Episode 7 Is there really a beautiful, erotic-looking
infirmary teacher?
"Fuu, haah--!"
Lunch break, in the
classroom. I was fighting sleepiness as I ate lunch with the usual members.
"What's up, Maro? You look so sleepy.”
Higashino, who saw my
big yawn, said so.
"You always look sleepy these days. Are you that
busy with your part-time job?”
“Aa......."
At Nishida's slightly
worried words, I hesitated a bit about how to respond.
I quit my part-time
job at the supermarket shortly before I became an adventurer. The reason was
that there was nothing attractive about that supermarket other than the fact
that I could work many shifts there.
But if I told the
truth, they would ask “then why are you sleepy?” question.
"I've recently been assigned to supervise three new
employees, all at once. So I'm probably feeling a little more tired than usual.”
“I see. That sounds like a lot of work. I don't think I
can do it.”
Higashino frowned.
Then Nishida said with a nasty smile on his face,
"But there might be a cute girl, right?”
“Oh, hmmm…”
Certainly, the three
newcomers are cute girls. However, one is a sassy loli, one is a corpse beauty,
and the last one didn't even have a human form......
"They are girls, indeed."
“Oh?! And what about the face? What about the face? Cute?
Pretty?”
Higashino, who was
looking for a girlfriend, leaned forward.
"Eh...... well, on the outside. One of them is the
beautiful type and the other two are the cute type.”
“…”
“I’m not lying.”
"What is that, it's the best!"
"Teaching a cute junior part-time job, is it an eroge1?"
"Don't connect anything to eroge
or galge2, Nishida-kun."
“It's not that good, seriously. It's a job. A. Job.”
I complained to the
two of them that:
One of them was a
jerk and wouldn't listen to me, the other remembered what I said but had no
ability to think for herself, and the last one was serious and honest but weak
under pressure and lacked the spirit of challenge......
My two friends looked
a little sympathetic at my explanation.
“Seems like they are quite the handful.”
“I sometimes think about taking a part-time job because
there are a lot of things I want, but when I hear Maro's story, it sounds like
a lot of work, so I’m thinking twice.”
I decided to follow
up with Nishida, who was worried while folding his arms,
“Well, my workplace is actually harder than most places.
so I'm not sure if it could be a good basis. We're
in most of the week, and that’s why we usually don't have enough people. If you
can get one that’s in two or three days a week, I think you'll be totally
fine."
"Wow, that's a lot. No wonder you don't hang out with
us these days.”
"Do you want to earn that much? A motorcycle or something?"
"Ehm......."
Higashino's casual
question left me at a loss for words.
“I certainly want a
motorcycle license along with a nice motorcycle.”
If I had a
motorcycle, I could expand my range of activities as an adventurer.
“I see. I want a motorcycle, too. Our high school allows
us to ride bikes to school.”
"The high school is lax around here. It's probably
because it's a little far from the station. I think I'll try a short-term
part-time job for Comiket."
As I was inwardly
relieved that I had successfully crossed the subject, a sudden dizziness hit
me.
“Ugh, I'm so sleepy I'm dizzy. I'm going to sleep in the
infirmary for a while. I'm sorry, but please tell the teacher."
"Are you okay? Be careful.”
I waved them off and
headed for the nurse's office.
The school nurse at
our school is a sexy older sister....... is naturally nonsense. She is an old
woman who might have been beautiful about thirty years ago.
I wonder if a
beautiful and erotic infirmary teacher like the ones in light novels or galge really exists. If so, please let me know.
“Excuse me, I'm feeling a little dizzy, can I borrow a
bed?"
I said that first
when I entered the infirmary, but there was no response. I looked around the
room and found no one there.
What should I do? Can
I just sleep?
I wondered.
“——Sensei,
she’s not here right now.”
Suddenly, the
curtains of the bed in the back were opened and a female student’s face popped
out.
"Shi, Shinomiya-san!"
The girl there was Kaede Shinomiya, a member of the normie group at the
top caste and was said to be the most beautiful girl in her grade.
Rumor has it that she
is an amateur model3, She's a total girl with her
makeup done up every day and her hair dyed ash gold. Her hairstyle changes
depending on her mood, but I think she often done her hair that reaches down to
her back in a stylish way with a scrunchie.
Many of her friends are
also very sophisticated and flamboyant girls, and she is also the top gyaru4-type girl in our class.
Although Takahashi
and the others were usually referred to as the "normie group," but many
of them have other groups of friends and were at the top of those groups. For
example, Takahashi had a group of baseball players, and Ushikura-san has her
own group of mature girls in the brass band club.
Shinomiya-san and
Ushikura-san are best friends and seem to have known each other since
childhood, but their groups as girls are completely separate.
Shinomiya-san was the
leader of the gyaru faction, and a shady mob like me felt a little weak for
her.
There were many reasons for this, but if I had to sum it up, it
would be because [I am a cherry boy].
As I stiffened like a
frog staring at a snake, Shinomiya-san smiled and pointed to the bed next to hers.
Her smile was more innocent
than I had expected, and I was taken aback by it for a moment.
“You're not feeling well, you should take a rest,"
she said.
“Ah, yes. Thank you.”
I went to the bed
next to hers timidly and laid my body down.
Then, there was a
long period of silence. I couldn't fall asleep with my
natural enemy, a gyaru, next to me. On the other hand, she didn't say
anything, so I spent my time in agony.
“.................."
Only the ticking of the clock echoed strangely in the
room.
It's kind of ......
pathetic, isn't it?
Even though I wanted
to become an adventurer so that I could talk to a cute girl like Shinomiya-san
without getting scared, I still feel like I'm not good at it.
I wonder if it’s
because in the end, I'm a mob at heart... Even if I get the title of an adventurer,
it's impossible to become a normie--
"...Hey."
"Hi!?"
Shinomiya-san, who
was supposed to be silently fumbling with her smartphone, suddenly spoke to me
while I was lost in thought, so I unintentionally let out a strange voice.
She burst out laughing.
“What's that? That’s funny. Um, if it’s not wrong, your
name is Maro5, right? That's an unusual name, isn't it?”
“Ah, no, that's just a nickname. My real name is Utamaro Kitagawa6.”
I managed to answer
with a fluster.
“Oh, I see. But it’s changed from your real name. I think
I've heard of Utamaro Kitagawa somewhere.”
“Well, I'm sure you've heard my name at least once, since
we are classmates. But I think you are referring to Utamaro
Kitagawa7, a painter from the Edo period."
"Ah, that's it! Is that perhaps the origin of your
name?”
“People often thought so, but no. My mother's name is Aika and my father's name is Shoma,
so they took one character from each of their name and then named me Utamaro8. Only after they submitted my name to the
authorities did they realize that it is exactly like the name of an Edo-era
painter.”
"Hahahaha, that's funny!”
As we continued our
conversation, I gradually felt my shoulders relax.
I was able to talk to
Shinomiya-san the ‘different creature’ feeling that I usually get in class. She
was easy to talk to.
"But it's nice, and it's easier to say Maro. Can I
call you Maro too?"
"Eh, uh, yeah."
“Thanks. So, do you have a part-time job, Maro?”
"What?"
I was momentarily
stunned by the unexpected question.
"Ah--, --un," I
said.
“I knew it. I've
seen you at the supermarket we often go to. I thought you looked familiar.”
"Oh, I didn't know that.”
Seriously, I had no
idea. I was so busy working that I didn't pay any attention to my surroundings.
“You were working so hard that it was hard for me to talk
to you. Looking so sweaty, I always thought you looked like you were having a
hard time. How long do you work there a week? I
see you all the time when I go there.”
"Oh, I work five days a week at the supermarket. On
weekends, I work other part-time jobs.”
"Crazy! That's
every day! That makes me dizzy already. What do you want with all that work?”
“That's .......”
At first, I thought of
answering the same way to Higashino and Nishida, but...
“I've got a goal. I want to invest in that.”
"A.... goal?"
"Yeah."
I turned over and
stared blankly at the ceiling.
...In my entire life,
I've never stood in the center of the class. In both elementary and junior high
school, I lived on the edge of the classroom watching the popular people in the
class making a fuss.
Actually, I have
never felt dissatisfied with that. This is because I have realized since
childhood that we are all born with a certain nature and that I am not a person
who stands at the center of the crowd.
So when I saw Minamiyama
joining the normie group, I was really shocked.
He was definitely a
mob character. His face was not good, his studies were not good, he was not
athletic, his stories were not that interesting, and he had a bad personality.
But as soon as he
became an adventurer, he became a member of the normie group.
Frankly, I thought it
was amazing.
Seeing this,
Higashino and Nishida seemed to feel disgust and anger toward Minamiyama, but
I, on the contrary, felt respect.
I felt anger, of
course, but on the other hand, I also felt respect for that guy who had broken
through his natural tendency to be a mob character.
Then I realized
something.
I am not dissatisfied
with being a mob character. However, I had a longing to be a normie.
So I decided to give
it a try.
For the first time in
my life, I decided to try my limits and see if I could change.
The attempt is still
in progress.
As I thought about
this, my eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
I tried to hold on,
but I couldn't seem to stand it. My consciousness has been flickering since a
while ago.
Shinomiya-san said
something, but I fell into a deep sleep without being able to respond.
“----It's kind of
cool to say something like that.”
I felt like
Shonimiya-san said that in my dream.
[Tips] Beautiful infirmary teacher.
She does not exist. Even though there is an old lady infirmary teacher who was probably beautiful in the past, for some reason, students who encountered her in her younger days do not exist. They appear quite frequently in anime, manga, and movies, so some foreigners think that there are beautiful infirmary teachers in Japan, but they don't actually exist. Even in this world where fantasy creatures have come to exist, beautiful infirmary teachers continue to maintain their fantasy nature.
Precisely, that is how school nurses are.
