Chapter 450: Ramen Talk
“Sanae, you kept on talking bad about Onoda-kun. Did he do something to you?”
With that question from Eguchi-sensei, it’s equal to confirming to me that Orimura-sensei never told her about what happened between us in the Shower Room.
Well, it’s understandable. Orimura-sensei would surely be embarrassed to have another person become aware that she was stuck with a student inside a Shower Stall.
Even if it was Eguchi-sensei to whom she told what happened, the military-like teacher would surely ask Orimura-sensei some questions about the hows and whys. And that’s something she probably didn’t want to answer so she kept what happened to herself. The most uptodat???? n????vels are published on novelenglish.net . Firᴇ
“Huh? I’m just telling the truth! W-what can he possibly do to me?”
This teacher… Is she this bad at lying? The way she stuttered and how she averted her gaze were enough signs that she’s lying.
But she lied flawlessly yesterday that none of her students found out that there’s someone else inside the shower stall she was in.
“Hmm? If you say so. What kind of ramen do you like, Onoda-kun?”
Perhaps she found it useless to continue pressing Orimura-sensei for an answer or she didn’t notice that stuttering of her fellow teacher, Eguchi-sensei turned to me and changed the topic to what we’re going to eat.
“Tonkotsu Ramen.”
Upon hearing my answer, Eguchi-sensei instantly smiled as if she found a kindred spirit. “Oh! Good choice. I like that as well.”
And on the other side, Orimura-sensei made another remark while clicking her tongue. “You really are a pair of teacher and student. Tsk.”
“You don’t say. You and your Miso Ramen are inseparable. Even if there’s no miso, you will demand them to make it for you! That’s how unreasonable you are Sanae.”

And as expected, it hit the bullseye, Eguchi-sensei showed a rare embarrassed expression as she covered her slightly voluptuous front with her arms.
“You! My breast and my love for the tonkotsu ramen are not related!”
The way her arms pressed on the squishy softness of hers was almost the same as what I saw from Izumi-senpai earlier. Obviously, their sizes were different from each other. Eguchi-sensei was truly blessed, just not as blessed as Miwa-nee though. Perhaps it’s because of her young age or just because she’s not a mother yet.
“What ‘not related’? That part of you is filled with fats. Where do you get those fats if not the tonkotsu broth?”
Although Orimura-sensei wasn’t as well-endowed as Eguchi-sensei, it’s still meaty enough to beat most of my girls. Now it made me wonder why she’s singling out that part of Eguchi-sensei. Jealous? Or is it just their way to bond?
Ah. Either way, it’s turning awkward. If I got dragged in with their argument, it would be hard to get out or I would be offending one of them.
I better stop this myself.
“Now, now, teachers. I know it’s insensitive of me to interrupt your argument but can we just go? It’s getting dark and the rain might return.”
When my voice reached them, it became the cue for them to slowly separate from each other.
Eguchi-sensei straightened her back and fixed her opened gym tracksuit, perhaps her attempt to hide that part of hers. However, the closed tracksuit only made it even more accentuated.
In any case, I averted my eyes from Eguchi-sensei to not make her embarrassed in case she caught me staring.
However, when I shifted my gaze to Orimura-sensei, I instantly noticed how her glaring eyes were onto me. Perhaps wordlessly telling me to not make a comment and just keep my mouth shut. Unlike Eguchi-sensei, she’s not wearing a tracksuit but a white buttoned shirt paired with an office suit and skirt.
Due to that, I nodded and made a gesture of zipping my mouth shut.
“Onoda-kun’s right. Let’s go, Sanae.”
After a while, Eguchi-sensei broke the silence that ensued as she began walking out of the room.
Following her, Orimura-sensei sighed as she stood up. She then picked up her suit and put it on as she walked past me and out of the door.
“Alright. Let’s go. I’ll drive.”
At this point, I maintained my silence and just followed the two teachers outside of the Administration Building.
We passed by some teachers who asked them if they were about to go home and they answered yes. And although they also noticed me, those teachers didn’t ask a follow-up question about me.
For sure, it didn’t pass their mind to associate me with the two PE Teachers. There’s nothing they could link me with Eguchi and Orimura-sensei. The two were somewhat notorious when it comes to male and female students after all.
A few minutes later, we left the school grounds in a blue four-seater car with Orimura-sensei in the driver’s seat, Eguchi-sensei in the passenger’s seat and me in the backseat.
Earlier, I noticed Shio’s car was still in the parking area. She’s probably still busy finishing whatever she’s doing or she was being held up by those female teachers inside the faculty.
Either way, I sent her a message when I got the chance that I already left the school with the two teachers.
Silence was proliferating inside the car when neither of the two talked to each other. Perhaps, the effect of their argument earlier was still in effect or they just couldn’t find the right topic to talk about.
However, I couldn’t help but notice how Orimura-sensei kept on looking at the rearview mirror to check on me and Eguchi-sensei twisting her body to do the same.
What should I do here? Do I keep my silence or engage them in a conversation?
Orimura-sensei was driving with a clear destination in mind so I guess asking where we were going wouldn’t really produce a worthwhile conversation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI knew they’re going to treat me as thanks for helping them but from what I heard from their conversation before, they also have some kind of ulterior motive like… hooking me up to continue helping them.
But with neither of the two teachers opening up that topic, it would be presumptuous of me to open it myself.
However, after five minutes, it’s still the same silence and the same stealing of glances.
That’s why, after a few seconds, I decided to break this silence by coughing once and opening my mouth with a question.
“Sensei, it’s kind of uncomfortable if both of you continue looking at me without saying anything. Do I have something on my face?”
And in response to my question, the two also coughed once.
“N-nothing, Onoda-kun. I’m just checking if you’re comfortable. I guess I’m doing the opposite, my bad.”
“You really have a great way to make it awkward for us, huh? How did you even get a girlfriend like Maemura?”
Eguchi-sensei apologized while Orimura-sensei opened up the topic of my girlfriend to get away from doing the same as what Eguchi-sensei did.
“Is that an appropriate question to your student, Sanae?”
“For the record, he’s not my student.”
“But you’re still a teacher!”
“I guess I am. What about you? Aren’t you also curious?”
“No. It’s my student’s private matter, there’s no reason for me to get curious about it.”
“Your mouth is saying no but your heart and mind are screaming yes. I see.” Orimura-sensei clicked her tongue and smirked once again, defeating Eguchi-sensei into silence.
I opened a topic but in the end, it’s the two of them who ended up in that kind of bantering again.
What should I do here? Just wait until we eat that ramen?
