Chapter 150 | Baldman Gets Beaten up by Another Teacher

Reading Settings

I was called out by my homeroom teacher, who was bald… No, I mean, Hageo, along with Rika.

“I heard you're pregnant, Matsumoto.”

“Wha—!?”

Rika gasped in surprise. Naturally.

No one should have known about Rika’s pregnancy rumors.

How did this happen…?

Well, it's true that the people related to Akaida might have spilled it since my grandpa mentioned it.

But there's no way they would leak information outside.

Then who…?

It must be someone with malicious intent—a third party.

Damn it! Who could that be…?

“Yikes…! U-Ueda! What's with that defiant look?!”

“Huh? Was I doing something?”

“Y-You're right! How dare you glare at a teacher like that! Both you and Matsumoto are troublemakers!”

Ah, yeah…

The idiot—I mean, Hageo seems to think of Rika and me as delinquents.

He seems to believe that not only is Rika pregnant but also that I'm the one responsible for it.

What a fool he is on top of being bald.

“That's not true. Rika…”

“I'm not pregnant at all!”

“Rika…”

I thought she would feel down about this, but Rika firmly stated her position without hesitation. Just the other day when we found out she might be pregnant, she seemed pretty down…

This showed some mental growth on her part. What happened? But I think it’s a good change.

“Hmph, we'll see about that. You can say anything with your mouth.”

But the foolish bald man clearly didn't believe Rika's words at all. Based on her appearance and her mother's profession, he probably concluded it wouldn’t be strange if she were pregnant.

Seriously, what an idiot.

“It's true I'm not pregnant. If you want proof, I can show you a medical certificate.”

“Hmph. We'll see about that. Falsifying medical certificates… Bwah!”

The bald man was knocked back and rolled on the floor.

“Enough already!”

“M-Miharashi-touge-sensei…”

The one who sent him flying was a petite female teacher. She wore a tracksuit, carried a bamboo sword, and had a cigarette in her mouth…?

No, that wasn’t it. It wasn’t a cigarette, but one of those candy cigarettes.

She is Miharashi Touge-sensei—a PE teacher and if I remember correctly, an advisor for the basketball club too.

“I've been listening beside you for a while now; what are you doing? Ignoring what your students say? What kind of teacher are you?”

With the bamboo sword  in hand, Miharashi Touge-sensei stepped on the bald man’s cheek.

“You violent teacher! I’ll report you!”

“Go ahead and try it, Bald Teacher.”

Oh no… did I really just say that?

“W-Who are you calling Bald Teacher?!”

“With that shiny head of yours—you think you’re not bald?”

“Guhh!”

Miharashi Touge-sensei looked down at him as she said:

“It's unacceptable to hear rumors from your favorite student about Matsumoto Rika being pregnant and take them at face value. You're unfit to be a teacher.”

Favorite student…?

“It's Imoko Nakatsugawa.”

“! That girl…”

That woman… where did she get such rumors from?

Miharashi Touge-sensei continued:

“Rika Matsumoto went to the hospital yesterday, right?”

“W-Well… yes…”

“You received a test certificate then?”

“Yes. It says I’m not pregnant. I have it at home.”

“There you go then! Did you hear that Bald Man?”

Miharashi Touge-sensei spoke up for us against the bald man—it felt relieving.

“Rika Matsumoto isn't pregnant; neither is Ueda Shinji nor anyone else in this class delinquent students! The delinquent teacher here is you!”

“You… how dare you speak like that!? A mere PE teacher dares to challenge me?! I’m more important than you! I’ll report this to the principal! And as for your violence… I’ll contact the police too!”

Police…? That sounds bad…

However, Miharashi Touge-sensei replied resolutely:

“Go ahead. Think carefully with your empty head about who will end up worse off when that happens.”

She squatted down and started tugging at his hair!

“Noooo! My hair!!”

In shock from what had happened to him—the bald man fainted outright!

Miharashi Touge-sensei sighed and turned towards us with a smile:

“I’m sorry for all this trouble; you’re free to go now.”

“Oh—thank you very much!”

There were other teachers around us too—but they didn’t intervene; they probably didn’t want any trouble themselves.

Among them all though, only Mihara-touge-sensei stood up for us—and I felt really grateful for it.

“You helped us even though it had nothing to do with you… Why?”

“Heh,” she chuckled lightly,

“Even if I’m not your homeroom teacher anymore—I'm still a schoolteacher while you’re students. Teachers protect their students—that’s just how things work.”

“Miharashi Touge-sensei…”

I'm really glad there are such good people…

“Now go back to class; leave dealing with idiots like him to me.”

“Oh okay… excuse us then. Come on,Rika…”

I led Rika away from there feeling thankful for everything thanks to our teacher…

Bzzz…

“Huh? My phone…?”

I reached into my uniform pants pocket and saw a message from my grandpa:

『STANDBY GG』

Ah… he must have been eavesdropping again—grandpa…

Honestly…
