Chapter 368, Section 367: A Handsome Guy Like You (Part 6 of 6)
Kuno Tachibana looked up and saw Kitahara Hakuba, dressed smartly, smiling at her.
Not knowing what to say, I could only aimlessly fiddle with my bangs with my fingers.
"Everyone is curious, why did Kitahara-sensei suddenly start drinking?" Kurosawa Maki asked.
An indescribable expression appeared on Kitahara Hakuba's face, and he frowned slightly as he said:
"I just wanted to give it a try, maybe I'm actually quite good at drinking."
“How could that be? You’re obviously the type who can’t drink.” Kurosawa Maki casually defined Kitahara Hakuba.
Kitahara Hakuba, looking troubled, scratched his cheek and said:
"why?"
"Is it because Kitahara-sensei always gives off a very serious impression? And he's not uncommon at all."
Before Kurosawa Maki could explain, Nagasawa Miya interrupted,
"So I don't think you'll go drinking."
Kurosawa Maki nodded in agreement.
It seems that in the eyes of these students, drinking is associated with the word "encounter" and is therefore considered improper.
Kitahara Hakuba sighed softly, a bitter smile flashing in his eyes, and said:
"Actually, drinking doesn't mean being irresponsible, nor is it because of excess."
He paused, his tone gentle but firm.
"It's just a way to relax, like listening to music or playing games."
The girls exchanged a slight glance, seemingly surprised that he would respond so seriously.
Kurosawa Maki looked at him thoughtfully and asked softly:
"What was it like for the teacher the first time they drank alcohol?"
"I didn't feel anything," Kitahara Hakuba said truthfully. "But I'll learn from this experience and won't go to the hot springs right after drinking alcohol in the future."
"But it's best if nothing happens," Kirishima Mai said, popping vegetables and jam into her mouth. "If it had been any later, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Kitahara Hakuba smiled slightly and said:
“I didn’t mean anything by it, but if there’s anything I can do within my power, I’m still willing to do it for you.” “No need,” Kirishima Mai shook her head and said.
Kitahara Hakuma's gaze fell on her, and he said with a smile:
"Kuno-san? Is there anything you'd like?"
Kuno Tachibana's palms were damp with sweat. She wanted too many things, but she knew without exception that Kitahara Hakuba could not fulfill them for her.
"No," Kuno Tachibana said.
"That's how it is," Kitahara Hakuba smiled helplessly and buried his head in his food.
"Teacher Kitahara—"
At that moment, Kana Eto and Kami Takahashi arrived.
The minister wore a white short-sleeved shirt with English letters printed on it, and a light long skirt that covered her calves, exuding youthful charm.
Her foreign language grades must be bad, because the word written on it is "cute and sweet girl".
Vice Minister Takahashi Kami wore an off-the-shoulder lace short-sleeved top, revealing her fair shoulders and delicate collarbones.
Her lower body was covered by denim shorts that hugged her hips, with the same round and perky buttocks as Mia Nagasawa's.
Her fair and smooth thighs were exposed without any defense.
She tied her usual ponytail even higher, giving her a very Yu Shou-like look.
"Are you ready to go out and have some fun, Minister!" Kurosawa Maki excitedly raised her hand.
After a moment of testimony, Kana Eto also raised her hand and said:
"Okay! Ready!"
"Wait, wait! What controversial gesture are you two making?!"
Kuno Tachibana, who was sitting next to Kurosawa Maki, changed his expression and quickly grabbed her hand, saying to Jiang Teng Kana,
"Jiang Teng, don't you have any guile at all?"
"Hehehe," Kana Eto laughed awkwardly, glancing at Hakuba Kitahara and asking, "Teacher Kitahara, are you in good health?"
"Yes, healthy."
As Kitahara Hakuba said this, a girl boldly and gently kneaded his shoulders. When he turned his head, he saw Takahashi Kami, whose fragrance wafted towards him.
"Today is Kitahara-sensei's birthday! Let's have a blast! We'll have to foot the bill!"
Nagasawa Miyabi crossed her arms and asked, puzzled, "Senpai, what's your birthday?"
"The so-called 'new birthday' means that the old Kitahara-sensei is dead, and today's Kitahara-sensei is a completely new one!" Takahashi Kami said.
Although Kurosawa Maki really wanted Kitahara Hyakuma to treat her, she couldn't help but ask:
"So what does this have to do with Kitahara-sensei having to cover the bulk of the expenses?"
Takahashi Kami raised her finger and waved it from side to side, saying, "Naive. Haven't you ever heard of spending money to avert disaster?"
Kana Eto, standing to the side, was completely baffled:
"I've only ever heard of paying money to gods, never of paying students to ward off disasters!"
"But in fact, it was the students who saved Kitahara-sensei, wasn't it?"
"Even if we were to invite them, we could only invite Kirishima and Kuno, right? What does it have to do with us?"
"Isn't collective punishment a matter of criminal liability?"
Several girls were chatting and laughing, but Kitahara Hakuba was wondering whether Takahashi Kami was wearing a bra under her off-the-shoulder short-sleeved top.
Could it be a strapless bra?
"Let's not talk about that. Kurosawa-senpai, what are the plans for today?"
"Speaking of this! We're planning to go first..."

It's probably a strapless bra, or at worst, a breast petal. Kitahara Hakuba buried his head in his food, eating fresh and tender sea bream slices.
Almost all the tourist attractions in Kagoshima are located around Sakurajima.
For convenient transportation, the eight people purchased a one-day Kagoshima City tram pass, costing 600 baht per day.
"Teacher Kitahara, I have a question!"
After buying his ticket, Kurosawa Maki raised his hand high to ask a question.
"Excuse me."
"There are two types of one-day travel passes: one for adults and one for children. Adults are defined as students in middle school or above, while children are defined as students in elementary school or below. I have now purchased an adult ticket, so am I now an adult?"
"Buying an adult ticket does not directly equate to you being an 'adult,' but rather indicates that you meet the criteria for purchasing an adult ticket."
Kitahara Hakuma adopted a teacher's demeanor, speaking solemnly, "'Adult' here refers more to a ticketing classification standard than a direct identification of your personal identity. The ticket type is the result."
Your identity is the reason, but buying a ticket does not define your identity in the reverse sense.
"Okay, I can't understand anymore! But middle school students have it so tough!"
Along the way, people kept glancing at Kitahara Hakuba, after all, he was accompanied by seven beautiful girls, and just looking at them made people feel incredibly envious.
"Our first stop is to visit Zhenyi's hometown," said Kurosawa Maki.
Kirishima Mai was used to this and didn't say anything. Just because they shared the same surname, these people kept saying that Kirishima Shrine was her hometown.
I boarded the tram, ready to head to Kirishima Shrine.
Kitahara Hakuba found an empty seat and sat down, and the girls sat opposite him and started chattering.
Even his handsome looks seemed less appealing when faced with the prospect of travel.
"I've been scammed!"
"what?"
"I heard that the Sakurajima loop bus just circles around the port! And the Yunohira Observatory is quite far from the mountaintop, so the view from afar is much better."
How much is the fare for this shuttle bus?
One thousand three hundred.
"It's so expensive! It's even more expensive than a one-day bus pass in Kagoshima."
"Yeah! The tourist attractions are so shady!"
"Your life is so cheap! It's only 1,300!"
As everyone knows, a monthly allowance of 3,000 yen is already a lot for Hokkaido high school girls.
Kitahara Hakuba looked at Kuno Tachibana, who was also discussing with them which tourist attractions were fun.
He could no longer remember what those cherry-colored lips, which kept opening and closing, felt like.
Just as Kitahara Hakuba was lost in thought, a man in a dark blue short-sleeved shirt stood in front of him with his hands in his pockets and suddenly called out:
"Hey, what a handsome and gentle young man."
Kitahara Hakuba looked up, scrutinizing the man before him. He appeared to be in his thirties, carrying a bag; he didn't recognize him.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Kitahara Hakuba looked back at him, puzzled, trying his best not to give the other person a haughty first impression.
"Hey, you must be pretty popular with women, right?"
He shifted his stance, swaying his body back and forth, looking down at Kitahara Hakuba and saying,
"You're surrounded by seven very pretty girls, right? So what? What do you mean?"
"You're so popular with women, huh? Well, I've seen plenty of handsome guys like you, way too many."
