"You want me to be a teacher? Is that for real?" Shichen looked at Natsuki Minamiya in disbelief.
"What's fake about it? Do you want me to support you?"
"It's not like I can't."
"Dream on!" Natsuki Minamiya rolled her eyes at him in annoyance: "What you said wasn't fake, right?"
"Of course not, but what about my identity?"
"Heh~" Natsuki Minamiya scoffed: "Don't you know my identity? It's not hard to get you an identity, is it?"
"Alright."
"Let's go." After Natsuki Minamiya finished speaking, a magic circle appeared behind her, then swallowed her, and her petite figure disappeared.
Shichen watched, full of envy.
He decided that once he had magic power, he would definitely learn her Spatial Control Arts from Natsuki Minamiya.
It would be a disservice to himself not to learn such convenient magic.
And various convenient small spells from Master Frieren.
Once he had magic power, he could go see Frieren and his master.
...
Shichen leisurely spent two days at Natsuki Minamiya's house, and she got his identity sorted out, making him her younger cousin.
He wondered if she did it on purpose, as she had clearly said before that he was older than her.
Thanks to this, Shichen had to call her older sister.
Of course, Shichen would definitely not call her older sister at home; "Natsuki-chan" felt more natural, but outside, he had no choice.
He did fit the image of Natsuki Minamiya's relative quite well; after all, she possessed noble blood, and Shichen's temperament was so extraordinary, making him seem very much like a noble scion.
With his identity settled, work naturally had to begin. Natsuki Minamiya arranged everything, placing him in a position at her own school.
That is, Saikai Academy Private High.
Saikai Academy Private High is located in the southern part of Itogami City. It is a co-ed school combining junior and senior high, and all the children of researchers on Itogami Island attend school here.
Incidentally, Natsuki Minamiya graduated from this school.
On his fourth day in this world, Shichen was brought by Natsuki Minamiya for an interview, and with her introduction, the interview was easily passed.
Unfortunately, most teaching positions were full, with only a spot for a physical education teacher in the middle school department.
Natsuki Minamiya directly had him take the position, giving him no choice at all, quite embodying the aura of an older sister.
"I can't believe you have a younger brother, Natsuki-chan, he's really handsome, does he have a girlfriend?" Misaki Sasazaki leaned close to Shichen, bumping him ambiguously with her shoulder.
Misaki Sasazaki, a graduate of Saikai Academy Private High like Natsuki Minamiya, was her junior and also a physical education teacher in the middle school department of Saikai Academy.
She had dark red hair styled into two buns and wore a form-fitting cheongsam that outlined alluring curves.
A typical Chinese girl image.
She wasn't as cold and serious as Natsuki Minamiya; she was always smiling and very lively. She had also been present throughout today's interview.
Her relationship with Natsuki Minamiya wasn't bad; she could even affectionately ruffle her head.
Although Natsuki Minamiya would refuse, she showed no sign of aversion.
"Shi, don't mind this idiot dog." Natsuki Minamiya said dismissively.
"Understood, Natsuki… sis." Shichen replied, his eyes fixed, not even glancing at Misaki Sasazaki.
Outside, he had to call Natsuki Minamiya "older sister"; this was a new rule, and Shichen was still a bit unaccustomed to it.
"Eh? Natsuki-chan, why? Are you a sis-con? But with such a handsome younger brother, it's normal to be one." Misaki Sasazaki wrapped around Natsuki Minamiya again, bumping her playfully.
"Are you in heat? Idiot dog!" Natsuki Minamiya impatiently pushed her away.
"But your younger brother is really handsome, and he and I will be colleagues from now on, so it's better to keep the good stuff in the family~"
"You're just lusting after him!"
"We can develop feelings over time~"
"No!"
"Why? Are you planning to keep him for yourself?"
"You… idiot dog!"
Natsuki Minamiya couldn't take it anymore. The fan in her hand instantly disappeared, then reappeared on Misaki Sasazaki's head, striking her hard.
"Ugh… that hurts!" Misaki Sasazaki covered her head, her eyes teary.
"Hmph~ I'm just making you calm down." Natsuki Minamiya remained unmoved.
"So mean~"
"Too lazy to bother with you. Shi, let's go." Natsuki Minamiya walked towards the school gate first.
"Um… Sasazaki-sensei, goodbye." Shichen politely waved to Misaki Sasazaki.
"Okay~" Misaki Sasazaki immediately beamed.
Shichen followed Natsuki Minamiya out of the school gate. She suddenly stopped, then unhappily glared at him.
"Wh-what's wrong? Natsuki-chan."
"Call me older sister outside!" Natsuki Minamiya emphasized with a cold face.
"Oh."
"I ask you, do you have feelings for that idiot dog?"
"Huh?" Shichen was stunned.
"Huh what? Why were you so pleasant to her just now?"
"No, I was just saying a normal goodbye. And where did you get that idea? It's our first time meeting, okay?" Shichen cried out in injustice.
"Hmph!" Natsuki Minamiya snorted coldly, crossing her arms: "Who knows if you fall for everyone you see."
"Impossible, I have absolutely no feelings for Sasazaki-sensei." Shichen shook his head, guaranteeing.
"...Are you really a loli-con?" Natsuki Minamiya stared at him vigilantly.
"...It's not that I like lolis, it's that the person I like happens to be a loli."
"..." Natsuki Minamiya was speechless, then turned around, clapped her fan in her hand, and disappeared from the spot.
"You can walk back yourself."
Shichen helplessly shook his head and started walking towards the apartment.
There was nothing he could do; he couldn't use spatial movement magic, and he didn't know if it would even work on himself.
He could only pray that he wouldn't be immune to his own magic.
The apartment was not far from Saikai Academy Private High. Shichen arrived home after a short walk, and aside from attracting some attention from women, he didn't see anyone familiar on the way.
He also didn't dare to run around; Natsuki Minamiya wouldn't allow it.
Because recently, after he settled down, he often openly expressed his liking for Natsuki Minamiya at home.
It wasn't explicit, just things like telling her not to always be so serious, otherwise she wouldn't be cute, and to be gentler with him.
In Neon, generally praising a woman as cute basically means liking her. Of course, Shichen did indeed like Natsuki Minamiya.
But Natsuki Minamiya wasn't one to accept everyone, and she wasn't familiar with Shichen yet, nor was she interested in romance for the time being, so how could she react to his expressions?
Moreover, because of Shichen's generous expressions, she suspected if he was someone who was rather promiscuous.
With such good conditions and the aura of a True Ancestor on him, this was too normal.
Now, as his older sister, Natsuki Minamiya would not allow him to go out freely to prevent him from flirting around.
Even buying things was done by her; she didn't trust Shichen to go out alone to buy things, who knew if he would suddenly hook up with a woman.
On Itogami Island, most women were quite open, and Shichen was so alluring... he was safest at home.
"You're back. Make me a cup of black tea." Natsuki Minamiya immediately ordered when she saw Shichen enter.
"Okay." Shichen obediently came over.
Making black tea for Natsuki Minamiya was no big deal; after all, he was living under her roof, and there was no gain without effort. He drank it too, so it was like making it for himself. But once he had a job and money, he definitely had to stand firm.
After making the black tea, Shichen sat opposite Natsuki Minamiya, enjoying the aroma of the black tea with her.
If Natsuki Minamiya wasn't sitting on a single-seater sofa, he would have sat next to her.
Once their relationship got better, he would make Natsuki Minamiya sit on his lap!
The quiet atmosphere didn't last long. Natsuki Minamiya put down her black tea, looked at Shichen, and calmly asked: "You don't mind teaching physical education, do you?"
"It's fine." Shichen nodded.
"No problems?"
"Trust me."
"Hmm, you're my younger brother, and I introduced you, so you can't embarrass me."
"...Okay, Natsuki-chan."
"You, you're not cute at all." Natsuki Minamiya glared at him.
"Hehe~ You didn't make a rule that I have to call you older sister at home, either." Shichen replied proudly.
"Forget it, I'll see what your teaching ability is like."
"You can rest assured."
Shichen's class came quickly; on his third day of employment, he had to teach.
As April approached, the weather in Itogami City was already unseasonably hot, but students always loved physical education class.
Middle School Department, First Year Class B.
"Kojo, I heard we have our own physical education teacher now; Sasazaki-sensei won't be substituting anymore." At the back of the classroom, Motoki Yase said to Akatsuki Kojo on his right.
"Whatever, I just want to play basketball quickly." Akatsuki Kojo didn't care at all.
"Too bad, no more beautiful teacher… Asagi, do you know who the new teacher is?" Motoki Yase asked Aiba Asagi on his left.
"Whatever." Aiba Asagi replied indifferently.
