Kissing My Student, It's Over if We're Caught-Chapter 1Volume 3 . - Touka Kiriharas Recent Surprise: Living with an Adult Woman

In life, everyone experiences moments of pressure, big or small, by the time they reach twenty years old.

If you took lessons as a child, you might have had a piano recital.

If you were into sports, you might have had an important match.

For me—Gin Hashima—the most intense experience was the final interview for my job.

And today, that moment was surpassed.

What exactly is happening?

The location is the apartment where my student, Touka Kirihara, lives alone. Inside that room is my ex-girlfriend, Yuzuka Takagami.

Yuzu and I are seated at the dining table, while Kirihara is making tea.

She took out the best tea set from the top shelf, likely to show respect to Yuzu.

Yuzu is subtly inspecting the room. Then, she takes out her smartphone from her shoulder bag on the table and quickly types a message.

I wonder who she’s contacting? As I ponder, my phone vibrates in my pocket.

‘That girl is a high school student, right? Is she living alone? From the look of the furniture, there’s no sign of parents… Is there some reason for this?’

Yuzu looks at me with concern, and I nod.

‘Hmm, I see.’

Yuzu puts away her phone and turns her gaze to Kirihara’s back.

Kirihara returns with a tray holding three steaming cups.

“Here you go.”

“Thank you. I’ll enjoy it.”

Though their expressions are neutral, their words are polite.

But a cold sweat runs down my back.

When Yuzu discovered my relationship with Kirihara the other day, I was on edge, and today is no different.

The calm before the storm. Like gunslingers with hands on their holsters, glaring at each other.

That’s the situation.

“Gin. I made tea, but once we finish, you should head home early.”

I let out a dumbfounded “Eh?” at Kirihara’s words.

“You have work early tomorrow, right?”

“Yeah, but…”

“It’s fine. We won’t fight even if we’re alone.”

Kirihara asserts, but I’m at a loss for words. Yuzu had confronted me, threatening to expose my secret relationship with Kirihara. Although she backed down after my persuasion, considering the tense atmosphere from that confrontation, leaving them alone is honestly terrifying.

These two were never meant to meet.

…If you think about it, the same goes for me and Kirihara, and me and Yuzu.

I’m a high school teacher, and Kirihara is my student.

We met through an online game when I was still a university student, but after becoming a teacher at the high school, Kirihara found out my weakness and blackmailed me into a secret relationship.

We did many things on campus that would end our lives if discovered, and once, my senior found out, causing a big issue.

But that crisis and separation made me seriously consider my relationship with Kirihara.

Then came Yuzu, my ex-girlfriend from university.

Yuzu had broken up with her ex-boyfriend, whom she had been living with, losing her job and home, and came to rely on me.

Not only that, Yuzu asked to get back together and even proposed to me.

I didn’t dislike Yuzu, but now I have Kirihara.

…I thought I had ended things with Yuzu by telling her I had a girlfriend.

But Yuzu didn’t give up and investigated, finding out about my relationship with Kirihara and threatening us.

That was the full story of the recent confrontation.

In the end, Yuzu realized I was serious about Kirihara and that even if everything was exposed, I wouldn’t be with her, so she backed off.

…Or so I thought, but Yuzu appeared before me again, pleading for help as she had nowhere to live. Kirihara suggested she could stay at her place, leading to the current discussion.

As a teacher, it’s inappropriate for me to be at Kirihara’s house during private time. And since I broke up with Yuzu and rejected her proposal, it’s odd for us to be together.

Moreover, Kirihara and Yuzu are love rivals over me. Them facing each other, let alone discussing living together, is extremely bizarre.

…Can I really leave these two and go outside?

As I agonize, Yuzu gives me a puzzled look.

“Gin, you’re deep in thought, but what’s with that reaction? Don’t tell me you’re worried I’ll do something terrible to Kirihara-chan? …Just kidding! No way that’s—”

“……”

“No way!? Wait, wait, wait! Do I really seem that untrustworthy!?”

“Well, I don’t think you’ll fight or involve the police, but… there’s a chance the conversation could get complicated.”

“Right, right. Phew, glad to hear that. What a relief.”

“But when it comes to trust, I don’t have much faith in you, Yuzu.”

“Why not!?”

I thought of saying “That’s exactly why,” but kept quiet to avoid derailing the conversation.

Then, Kirihara came to my rescue.

“Gin is worried about whether Yuzuka-san living here will go smoothly, right?”

“…Yeah, that’s it.”

Since Yuzu didn’t accept the offer, she probably has no one else to rely on. She’ll likely come crying to me.

But considering Kirihara’s feelings, I can’t extend a hand to Yuzu.

So, it seems we’ll have to discuss it again as a trio.

──In that case, Yuzu wouldn’t normally refuse Kirihara’s proposal. But Yuzu isn’t normal.

If she were, she wouldn’t have come back after that confrontation.

There’s a high chance the conversation will get complicated. No matter how it goes, it will be a headache.

I’m anxious…

“Don’t worry. I’ll talk to her properly. I’m sure Yuzuka-san will understand.”

“…What’s your basis for that confidence?”

“Women’s intuition.”

Despite her strong reply, I was still troubled. But… should I trust her?

“…Alright. After we finish the tea, I’ll head home. Kirihara’s intuition is usually spot on.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Kirihara smiled happily. Yuzu frowned and grumbled.

“What’s wrong, Yuzu?”

“Nothing… Oh, this tea is delicious. Is it black tea?”

“Yes. I’m a tea enthusiast.”

“Wow. That’s a nice hobby for someone so young.”

Kirihara and Yuzu engaged in light-hearted small talk.

…Maybe they’re both trying not to worry me.

After finishing the tea, I decided to trust Kirihara and head home.

“Make sure you get home safely.”

“Don’t get involved with any weirdos~”

They saw me off as I stepped outside.

Early November, a deep autumn night. It was quite cold outside, but the sky was clear, and the stars and moon were visible.

With my hands in my pockets, I walked, hoping the discussion would go well.
