School was finally over. Renz's schedule had recently settled into a routine. Back home, he would, as usual, first cook for Mashiro Shiina, then head to the shop to work. His knife skills were steadily improving; it was simply a matter of practice—the more he cooked, the better his knife work became.
On the train, Renz suddenly spotted a familiar figure: Kirisu Mafuyu, his former cooking club advisor. He had dropped out of the club almost immediately because he found it troublesome, effectively disbanding it then and there. However, it was a surprise to Renz that Miyuki Shirogane had managed to revive the club.
As if sensing Renz's gaze, Kirisu Mafuyu, with her pink hair draped over her shoulders and an unsmiling expression, subtly nodded towards Renz in greeting. Japanese trains were typically very quiet; hardly anyone spoke, and if they did, their voices were kept very low.
Anything else was considered impolite and bothersome to others. Kirisu Mafuyu and Renz had only met once as Sensei and student; they weren't particularly "close," so naturally, they wouldn't strike up a conversation in such a "conspicuous" place as a train. A nod in acknowledgment was already very polite.
Renz waved back, acknowledging Kirisu Mafuyu's nod, then settled into his seat, feigning a nap to rest. After a minute ride, the train stopped. Renz got off and realized that Kirisu Mafuyu had also disembarked.
"Kirisu-sensei, are you also getting off at this stop?" Renz calmly greeted her.
The [Life Simulator] had a significant effect on Chika Fujiwara: when Renz revealed he was married, her life path disappeared from the data panel. However, Masuzu Natsukawa and Kaguya Shinomiya maintained a 0.0001% value, showing no signs of disappearing and continuously fluctuating. Renz analyzed the situation and arrived at a few possibilities.
One possibility was that they simply didn't believe Renz was married, remaining skeptical, or perhaps they didn't think Renz's marriage would last. Their lack of support for the marriage meant there was still a chance of them becoming entangled with him.
Another possibility, and the most difficult for Renz to handle, was that the [Bad Seed Simulator] might simulate based on a person's personality. If he encountered a "yandere" or "possessive" type of woman, his "marriage" trump card, which he had used as a breakthrough, would be ignored. Because for such women, Renz being married wouldn't matter. A yandere could simply tie someone up and lock them in a basement, disregarding the relationship entirely.
A possessive woman, even knowing you're married or have someone you love, would, driven by her deep affection, desperately seek a glimmer of hope for a reversal. This was truly terrifying. These special individuals were beyond Renz's control.
It was worth noting that Kirisu Mafuyu was also within the [Bad Seed Simulator]'s hunting range. A Sensei's route, a Sensei-student romance, committing acts of "deceiving one's master and disrespecting one's ancestors"—Renz couldn't even imagine such things.
However, in the next second, Renz thought of Erina... His cooking skills were entirely taught by Erina. In a way, he had committed an act of deceiving his master and disrespecting his ancestors... What strange thoughts was he having?
As Renz was deep in thought, Kirisu Mafuyu spoke in a cold tone: "Yes, the apartment I rent is nearby." As a Sensei, Kirisu Mafuyu still maintained her authoritative demeanor in front of her student.
"Is there something you need help with, from your Sensei?" Kirisu Mafuyu said thoughtfully, assuming this Philippines exchange student might have encountered some trouble and needed her advice. If it was within her abilities, Kirisu Mafuyu, with her sense of professional responsibility as a Sensei, would be willing to help.
"Hmm, I was just wondering if we've been on the same path for a while, and if Sensei also lives in an apartment around here?" Renz said, subtly furrowing his brow. In Japan, neighborly relations were highly valued; visiting neighbors and celebrating housewarmings were common social customs.
Kirisu Mafuyu nodded. "The apartment I rent is in this vicinity."
"I didn't expect us to be neighbors. I'll find a time to visit you with my wife then, Sensei," Renz said instinctively. Due to work, Renz had moved many times in the future, and visiting neighbors on the first day of moving was a normal part of social interaction. Moreover, if his Sensei was his neighbor, then a visit as a neighbor would be even more important.
Kirisu Mafuyu's eyebrows subtly raised, and her pretty face flushed slightly. "Wait a moment, Wife? What does Wife mean?" Last time, Renz had mentioned having a girlfriend, and Kirisu Mafuyu happened to have seen Renz's phone call with his girlfriend. Kirisu Mafuyu didn't have any particular aversion to Renz dating; it was a normal thing during adolescence. Kirisu Mafuyu herself had been pursued by many boys at that age, but she was too busy with her figure skating career to think about such developments. Then, as she got older, she became a Sensei. She became accustomed to her strict demeanor, leading her to become a well-known "ice queen" at work.
Forget about having a partner, she didn't even have any public suitors. At matchmaking events, she was a lonely "old maid" completely isolated from forming friendships.
"Are you married?" On Kirisu Mafuyu's face, known as the "eternal ice mountain," a hint of defeat and deep shock appeared. The source of her defeat: she was so old, not to mention married, she hadn't even had a serious romantic relationship—oh no, she hadn't even dated—while this young man in front of her, so young, not only had a girlfriend but was now even married!
"Deceiving and playing tricks on a Sensei will result in disciplinary action," Kirisu Mafuyu thought, then boldly concluded that it was a girlfriend just days ago, and now they've advanced to being spouses so quickly? Even a flash marriage wouldn't be this fast, would it? And people of this age need guardian consent to marry, don't they? Kirisu Mafuyu instantly grasped a crucial piece of information. That's right, you need your family's permission to get married.
Married? Impossible, impossible!
Renz froze. Darn it, I accidentally carried over my social etiquette habit. However, Erina was coming to stay over the weekend, so his Sensei would find out about this news eventually. Revealing it now wouldn't necessarily cause misunderstandings. Just say it, what's there to be afraid of?
"I wouldn't dare deceive Kirisu-sensei! Everyone in the school knows Kirisu-sensei's formidable reputation," Renz teased. "If Kirisu-sensei puts me on her blacklist, I'll be dragged into a dark room for intense studying at school. That punishment is scarier than disciplinary action."
"As for my marriage, you can trust me completely."
"I wouldn't use such a big matter to joke around with Sensei."
Unbeknownst to them, the two had already walked into the staircase of the same apartment building. They exchanged glances, then, with extreme synchronicity, arrived at the same floor.
No way? Kirisu-sensei is a neighbor on the same floor?!
Both stood rooted to the spot, staring at each other in surprise, especially when they simultaneously pulled out their keys. The air in the scene grew even more tense.
And before Renz could even react, the apartment door opened.
"Renz-kun, welcome home." Mashiro Shiina, having heard footsteps ascending the stairs, ran to the door, peered through the peephole, and saw Renz standing outside. In her hungry state, Mashiro's hearing was keen. Hearing the commotion, she looked through the peephole, and upon seeing Renz return home, eagerly opened the door. Her almond-like eyes shone with starlight. She bowed slightly and said with an expectant tone, "What are we eating today?"
A cold glare.
Shot from behind.
No!
This script is even more wrong now!
Sensei! Please let me explain!
