When I Asked My Sensei Who Was in Her Thirties to Let Me Take Responsibility for My Actions, She Brought Me a Marriage Registration~

>You’re stretching out your uniform sleeves.”

“Worry about my mental state more than my uniform!”

“Alright, alright.
I understand.
Do you want me to check your chest then?”

“That’s sexual harassment! What does my chest have to do with my mental state!?”

“It has a connection… Probably.”

“There’s no proof of that!”

I let out a small sigh, I made direct eye-contact with Sakuramiya-sensei.

“Anyway, let’s get back to the topic.
Our relationship can’t be discovered.
We should avoid unnecessary contact within the school from now on.”

“Is there no other way?”

“Do you think you can get away with making those cute expressions?”

“N-no, I didn’t mean… that?”

Sakuramiya looked away and nervously broke out into cold sweat.

I kept my gaze fixed on her, not letting her escape from my view.

“Well, just this once then.
Besides, it’s rare for me to be out of class during lunchtime, so let’s not let others have suspicions about our relationship and get the matter out of our hands.”

Sakuramiya-sensei blushes slightly at my words.

“You’re sweet, Segawa-kun.”

“It’s not like I’m sweet to everyone.”

“Oh, so just to me then?”

“Well, I’m pretty sweet to Shii-chan.
She pretty much sucks all my money dry.
Oh, and I’m also sweet to Kaede-chan.
I usually do most things she asks.”

“Is that so?”

“So, I’m getting treatment like your family then?”

“You can interpret it however you like.”

“I see… hehe~”

Sakuramiya blushes slightly and mutters to herself.
She looks at the table as if remembering something and picks up her chopsticks, grasping the hamburger which she was trying to feed me earlier.

“Here, eat up.
I woke up early to make it for you.”

I was really impressed that she, who doesn’t like doing housework, will go out of her daily routine to make them for me, so I helplessly shook my head and ate the hamburger that she brought up to my mouth.
Sakuramiya-sensei watched me with a smile on her face.

“Is it good?”

“Yes.
But please don’t overdo it, being a teacher is tiring.
What would you do if you broke your body?”

“It’s okay.
I have more vitality than I look.
I played softball until high school, you know.”

“Even so.
You’re already an adult, you should take better care of your body.”

“An adult… Well, I’m still in my early 30s.
I’m still young… and…”

What should I do? I feel like I just said something unnecessary.
Sakuramiya-sensei looked downcast, with tears in her eyes.
Just looking at her made my chest ache in an indescribable pain.

As I watched over her, Sakuramiya-sensei looked at me with a desperate gaze.

“Isn’t it painful to stay silent? Say something.”

“Er, well, um… You’re still young, Sakuramiya-sensei.”

“That kind of follow-up is painful for this maiden’s heart.”

“What should I do then?”

It seems like I’ll have to avoid talking about age related matters from the next time I’m with her.
That’ll be best for of our futures.
