Not in my shoe locker...
Not inside my desk either...
Feb. 14
Today's the day that guys are restless and fidgety.
Senpai, good morning!
Ah, that you, Takahashi?
D-don't tell me that's...?!
I got this from "Big Sis" Hika.
I'd also like to receive some chocolate from Sensei...
It's okay. There's no need to be impatient.
There are still too many people here for her to hand them to me.
The most likely time is after school!
Dammit!
Well, I just knew this would happen.
I simply wanted to dream a bit, okay?!
Word is there'll be snow tonight, so I might as well hurry home.
Er, it's already snowing like crazy?!
Rail/Bus Service Info Rail/Bus: Service Suspended on All Lines Southern Hou Line Temporary Suspension
Oh no, all the trains and buses have stopped.
I'll just be cold if I stay here at school.
Guess I'll have to walk.
This's bad. With all this snow, my clothes will get soaked in no time.
The way things are going, I should've just hurried home.
Oops, I slipped and now I can't move.
Why the hell are you here, Sensei?!
School Infirmary
Twelfth Period
As I suspected, the lights won't turn on.
Seems the circuit breaker has been tripped.
Maybe the school secretary went home early since it's snowing.
Over here...
It's warm in front of the space heater.
Thank goodness for that.
What were you doing here until so late?
Well, uh...
What about yourself, Sensei?
I also, uh...
My clothes are ice-cold, so I'm gonna get out of them.
As usual, she's unashamed even when I'm right in front of her...
So, turn and face the other way.
Huh?! Uh, okay!
What did she mean by that?
Just calm down, buddy.
There might not even be any deep meaning behind it.
Is that...?
You can't have that!
This is...
Sensei, you also got some chocolate from Hazakura-sensei, huh?
N-no.
It's something that Hazakura-sensei and I-
Are you alright?
I'm cold.
It would seem she's not alright!
At any rate, go get in front of the heater.
I'll go grab a duvet.
The duvets are currently being cleaned.
Oh my!
What should I do?
I mean, my own clothes are pretty damp, too.
Still, I can't just leave things like this...
Besides, Sensei seems to be growing a bit weak.
At the very least, some kinda nourishment-
Oh, that's right! The chocolate!
Wait, I don't even have any chocolate!
Sensei!
The chocolate from Hazakura-sensei... Please try eating it.
Huh?
I can't do that.
Perhaps you'd rather savor it at home, but seeing as you're freezing, you'd best eat it now.
Well, if you also eat some... so will I.
Uh... In that case, I'll have a bit.
'Kay.
Don't...
Surprise chocolate fondue!
To think the warmth of the heater melted it...!
Will you have this with me...?
Uh, please eat it all yourself, Sensei.
I'll go look for something you can put o-
Uh-oh!
E-excuse me! I lost my balance.
Don't...
Sorry, seems I ate it myself...
It's fine.
After all, that was chocolate I'd planned on giving to you all along.
Huh? You mean... for Valentine's Day?
Yeah, I made it together with Hazakura-sensei.
So that's why the boxes were the same, huh?
Am I dreaming?
I never imagined Sensei would actually give me chocolate...
I'm feeling hot all of a sudden.
Also, the expression on Sensei's face...
Could it be that Sensei also has feelings for me?
I must act before graduation comes and we're no longer able to see each other!
Um, do you remember what I said back on Iwagaki Island?
Sure enough, I really have fallen for Sensei, huh?
Rather than the vague wording I used then...
I'll wholeheartedly declare my love for her!
Let me say it again.
Rather than a student, I want you to see me as a man, Sen... er, Tachibana-san.
I'm in love with you. Please go out with me!
I'm sorry. I can't do that.
I-I see...
Excuse me for saying something strange so suddenly.
Um...
Well, I'll be heading ho-
Wait, I'm not able to!
Talk about awkward...
The snow's not stopping, huh?
The forecast says it'll stop in another hour.
After the graduation ceremony,
Wait just a bit longer...
Why the hell are you here, Teacher!?
Why the hell are you here?
Graduation Ceremony
On this fine day with the scent of spring in the air,
we have successfully arrived at our day of graduation.
Ah, gradation, huh?
When I think about it, during these last three years,
Ultimately, things ended with me getting rejected!
we've really been through a lot...
Congratulations on your graduation!
Right on!
Thank you!
So, what brings all of you guys to my house?
We're thinking about all going on trip during spring break together, ya see.
We're here to discuss the plan.
Oh, I see.
But...
Ah, that's sugar!
Huh? For real?!
Mistaking sugar for salt...
Way to make a dumb slip up!
Wh-what should I do?!
Why the hell are our teachers also over here?! Wh-what should I do?!
Why the hell are our teachers also over here?! Please calm down.
Well, that's 'cause they're going with us.
What's Sensei thinking coming to the house of the guy she turned down?
Seeing her face is-
Oops.
Are you alright?!
It slipped... I've failed.
Tanaka!
Lend 'er some clothes!
Huh?!
Sorry about this.
No problem, I'll get some clothes for you right away.
First I have to see her face and now I'm alone with her.
What kinda torture is this?
Congratulations on your graduation.
Thank you.
And thanks to you for your hard work, Sensei.
I'm no longer your teacher, so don't call me "Sensei."
How cold...
Now that I graduated I'm a total stranger, huh?
I'll leave a tracksuit for you right here.
Well, I'll wait for you outside!
I didn't do a good job of conveying my feelings.
I've failed again.
Don't...
What should I do...?
I better tell him again how-
That's a relief.
Sensei?! What's the matter?
I got tangled up.
What in the world?!
Huh?!
It won't open.
W-wait...
If you open it, the fishing line will bite into me.
Wha-?! I'll go grab a pair of scissors!
I wanted you to at least shut the door.
Otherwise... someone might see me like-
Hey! What's going on?!
Don't tell me the two of 'em are...
Let's go and peep!
Jeez, don't be like that.
They're headed this way. I've gotta shut the door.
Don't...
Seems that door's moving.
They in there?
Not good... I'll be seen looking like this...
Wait a minute!
What? I can't believe you locked the door!
C'mon, we're going, "Big Sis" Hika!
No, hold on a second.
Come on, that's quite enough!
Crisis averted...
Or not!
Sorry, I'll cut the line right away!
That should do it.
Huh? Wai-?!
Is everything alright?
It's fine.
No it's not...
I didn't want to be seen naked by anyone besides you.
Sensei...
I'm not your teacher anymore.
Ah, excuse me.
And you're no longer my student.
I can finally say it...
I also want to date you, Tanaka-kun.
So, you're saying...
I'm in love with you.
I'm sorry about what happened on Valentine's Day.
Back then, you were still a student, Tanaka-kun...
After the graduation ceremony,
I'd planned on handing you a letter, but I was too embarrassed.
That's nothing to worry about now!
Alright!
Okay, shall we get down to planning the trip?!
You're suddenly in high spirits, huh?
In that case, tell us where you'd like to go.
Let's see...
Well, somewhere we can see the stars would be nice.
After all, this time you've gotta wish "I want to be loved by a student of mine"
upon a shooting star, right?
"Absolute Zero Tachibana."
A cold, expressionless teacher.
That's what everyone says...
Yeah.
But from now on, surely...
Where would you like to go today?
Let's see... How about we picnic under the cherry blossoms?
Oh, that sounds nice.
But, no alcohol allowed, okay?
You're a handful when you get drunk, after all.
Now, say "aah."
"Big Sis" Hika...
Hazakura-sensei?
Wha-?! Tachibana-sensei?!
Oh? Everybody...
Matsukaze-chan, what're you doin' over there?!
Huh? Uh, well...
W-we have nothing to hide!
I won't get physical with her until we're married!
HUH?!
Y-you idiot. I told you we'd end up getting spotted.
We're dating, so there's no need to be so embarrassed about it...
Why...
Why the hell are you here, Sensei?!
