Stealing Spree

Chapter 5: Ms. Miyazaki's Hobby

Since half of us hadn't arrived yet, Ms. Miyazaki was just sitting at her table at the front, reading something.

I couldn't see what's that book. She's too far away from my seat.

Because of that, I stood up and slowly walked towards her. I needed more info so I could start with this teacher of ours once I finished conquering Kana.

Who might her husband be? Is it someone from our school or someone? She just graduated and got her license for teaching so she probably didn't know much about the school. If I have to guess, she's an alumnus of this school. Most teachers go back to their previous high school where they'll start their teaching career.

"Teacher, what are you reading?" I timidly asked when I reached her desk.

Looking at it now, the cover of the book was hidden by a thick binding she was using. Probably to not let it get crumpled on her bag or just she's trying to hide the cover of the book. Is it an erotic book?

Upon hearing me, Ms. Miyazaki almost jumped back in surprise. Like a reflex, the book she's reading closed shut even before I could take a peek.

Well, I did see something. A page of it in exact..

With that familiar page, I kinda guessed what kind of book she's reading.

That page was an illustration page commonly seen on light novels. No wonder she's hiding it. She probably doesn't want her hobby to be known by her students.

But how careless could she be? She was fully immersed in reading it that she didn't notice me approaching her table. If I didn't speak, she would probably continue reading it.

"W-what is it? Onoda? You know it's rude to interrupt your teacher."

Just like on the first day, she immediately recovered her composure.

Ah. Maybe this is the chance I was looking for.

"Yes. I'm sorry teacher. I just can't help but get curious when I saw you enjoying what you're reading." I made an excuse.

I could see her tremble a bit. Probably guessing if I found out her secret or not.

Ms. Miyazaki coughed once before responding to me. "Enjoying? I'm reviewing it for my lesson plan Onoda."

"I see, so one can get inspiration for teaching at light novels as well." I remarked in a low voice. I needed only Ms. Miyazaki to hear it after all.

It's a secret, why will I share it to others?

"Y-you."

Hearing what I said, Ms. Miyazaki stood up and slammed the binder down. And because of that noise, the attention of everyone immediately focused on her.

And to escape that attention she gathered, I already turned my back to go back to my seat even before she reacted to what I said.

Because of that, she's the only one who got put in that spotlight she created. And upon noticing that, the beautiful teacher couldn't help but be flustered. Her mind instantly turned into a mess. Aside from the attention she probably couldn't believe that her secret was seen by someone.

She picked up her things and went to the door. But before she left, Ms. Miyazaki looked back at me.

"Onoda! Come to the faculty later!"

Ah shit. I didn't know it would reach to this. Now I got the other students' attention. Classmate A shouldn't get this much attention.

When I finally settled back on my seat, Maemura couldn't win against her curiosity. And of course not just her. Everyone was waiting for an answer.

They're all focused on each of their own worlds that they didn't notice what happened nor the exchange I had with the beautiful teacher.

"Yo, Onoda. You're something. What did you do to anger our teacher?"

"Me? I didn't do anything. I just asked a question. I'm also curious why she had that kind of reaction."

"Well, you're being called to the faculty. Congrats on being the first one on all the 1st years to visit the faculty!"

Maemura said which garnered laughter from everyone. Yeah, I got an achievement right away. I got hasty just now. How can I stay at being Classmate A now? I have to refrain from doing anything flashy later.

"I don't want it. Do you mind taking the honour of claiming this achievement Sakuma?"

I turned to my back and saw Sakuma there laughing as well.

"Idiot. I'm not Onoda, am I?"

"Haah. I guess I have no choice but to become the sacrifice. I won't ever ask something again!"

The classroom rang in laughter again. Even the quiet Rindou was also giggling beside me. Now that I look at her, she's also cute. It's just her bangs is covering her eyes. She's probably seen as gloomy by others.

After that event, the remaining students arrived from their clubs. Well most of them were ambushed and dragged by those upperclassmen. And I got another bout of attention when these latecomers heard about what happened.

Ms. Miyazaki came back and started the class. The bookbinder is nowhere to be seen. She's probably too embarrassed to take it out again like that, lest someone see it again.

Throughout the class. She kept on glaring at me. She even called me out 3 times throughout the lesson.

Damn this woman. Did she think I spread about her hobby?

The other students were all smiling seeing me being targeted like that. There were those who were envious as well. Especially the weird ones who wanted to be abused by a beautiful teacher.

Though a bit irritated. I held myself back and just answered when called to. I don't want more attention. Just go and turn your focus to the main characters okay? I don't need it.

Time passed and that gruelling first period ended and I finally got the chance to catch my breath. When the lunch break came. I went out to the cafeteria to buy my lunch.

I want to eat first before going to the faculty.

On the way there, I ran into someone.

Kanzaki Mio. Class President.

She nodded at me and passed by.

"Check your messenger."

What? Did she say that to me?

I looked around and there's no one she could have told that. So is it really directed at me?

I glanced at her departing back. She didn't turn back again and only continued to walk back to our classroom.

Messenger eh? I haven't checked it yet. I haven't opened the group chat as well. I turned the notification off since I'm too occupied with Kana.

Well, I'll look at it later. I'm too hungry to do anything else. I need replenishment of energy after the tiring 1st period.

I bought the same bread as yesterday before going to a corner to eat it.

There are a lot of students here in this cafeteria. Like in my previous school, I also scouted for a new target at the cafeteria. Even just turning my head a bit, I could already spot a few couples eating together.

I dreamt of stealing each and every one of them. Calling them one by one to my side while they're eating. They would leave their boyfriends, not knowing I was eating their girls in place of them. That would be a really fulfilling lunch.

However, I had to be extra careful to not stand out so I failed to realize that dream back then. Maybe here, I could realize a part of it.

At one corner of the cafeteria, I spotted Kana and her Kenji guy. She was smiling happily at him as they ate their lunch together.

I pulled up my phone and looked at the picture I took wherein our lips were locked together. That face of Kana savoring our passionate kiss overlapped to her face now happily eating with her boyfriend.

Ah, I'm feeling the excitement again.

I sent another mail to her. In it was the attached picture of her sucking me.

After a while, I could see her taking out her phone from her pocket. And the face she had when she opened it. There's a trace of shame, bashfulness and guilt. She's eating with Kenji right now, and seeing that picture of hers kissing another guy, she became ashamed to look at her guy.

"Pervert, delete this.."

Her reply arrived soon after that. From where I was sitting, I could see her looking to her left and right. Even with the distance, I could guess what that Kenji is asking her. 'What's wrong?' then she just answered him by shaking her head.

Kana is simply too cute. But I don't have time nor chance at this moment or it will really get suspicious.

"This is our memory. I'll treasure this." I finished eating the bread after sending her that.

And like earlier, I felt my phone vibrating again. She really replies fast eh.

"Pervert. Later okay. Not now."

"I know, have fun with Kenji-senpai for now."

I put the phone back in my pocket. Time for me to go to the faculty. I wonder. This might be a chance to get something from our beautiful teacher. The light novel. Though I'm not a keen reader, I still have some knowledge about it. Is she secretly an otaku? Well, that's exciting on its own. Her husband is probably not here, I'll use that as a bridge to connect to her.

The faculty room is located at another building, the Administration Building. There one can find the faculty, guidance counsellor, Principal's office and other such rooms pertaining to the school administration.

Though there's a collective faculty room where all teachers of the school gather, each teacher was given a private room for themselves. The school is one of the high-end ones across the country that's why even teachers have this kind of luxury. Since most of them are advisers, each class always has some trouble children they have to give advice on. Having private rooms is convenient for it. It also helps the teachers to relax whenever stress builds up on them.

When I arrived at the Administration Building, I forgot to ask where the faculty room was. There were some students and teachers coming and going out so I just followed one.

Luckily, we had the same destination. When I entered the faculty room, the eyes of the teachers inside instantly focused on me. Judging by my uniform, they knew I'm a first year.

So it's really true that I might be the first one to be called here among the 1st years. Am I being marked by them now? Shit. Another unnecessary attention. I'm Classmate A you know. I'm not a trouble child.

"Ah. You're here, Onoda. Follow me."

I heard Ms. Miyazaki's voice and followed it. She was sitting on one of the tables. I saw a lunchbox on top of it. She just finished eating her lunch.

"Oh? What's this Miyazaki? You already have a problem child in your class?"

One of the 1st year teachers asks.

"Not really. I only have something to ask him. I couldn't find the time earlier so I had him go here."

She answered.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up Ms. Miyazaki, I'm saved from being marked by the other teachers.

"Hey, what are you waiting for? Let's go."

"Ah yes. Sorry."

I bowed to the other teachers before following behind her.

I heard them laughing and giggling from behind me.

"That student got a scare of his life, didn't he? He probably thought his school life is over when we all look at him like that."

"You're right. Teasing first years like that never lost its charm."

Damn you. If I find another target among you, don't blame me. Haa... I really have to stop standing out.

Ms. Miyazaki was silent throughout the journey and I timidly followed behind her. I noticed there were a lot of doors here with a teacher's name on it. Each room wasn't that large so there's a lot of them.

When I noticed Ms. Miyazaki stopped her footsteps, I knew we finally reached our destination. At the left door, the name Miyazaki Shiori was pasted on it.

Ms. Miyazaki used her key to open it and enter before ushering me in.

"What are you waiting for? Come inside."

"Y-yes"

Like what I had guessed, the room wasn't that large. One could reach the four corners of it with only 5 steps each corner.

Ms. Miyazaki is a new teacher and that's why the room isn't decorated yet.

I could only see a small closet at one corner. A sofa on one side, a table and chair, and a bookshelf.

The bookbinder she had earlier was on her table. And looking at the books on her shelf, there's a row on it that was covered by a thin red cloth. Probably her light novel and manga shelf?

"So, did you tell anyone?"

"Uhm. About what?"

"Don't play dumb. About my hobby."

"Ah. Is that why you called me teacher? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Really?"

I nodded vigorously towards her.

She just stared at me for a minute. Is she judging whether I'm telling the truth or not?

Looking at my composed figure. She let out a sigh.

"Okay, I believe you."

"Thank you, teacher. Having a hobby is normal. You don't have to be ashamed of it."

I gave her some assurance. Honestly, I'm not really sure earlier if my guess is true but seeing her reaction now, then I must be right. I'm just not sure about the genre though. I didn't get a good look at that illustration.

"Really? You don't think it's weird?"

Her voice that was commanding earlier now turned soft. What is this? This is kind of cute on its own. Is this how she is normally?

"Not at all. It's perfectly normal!"

My voice turned a little higher.

She didn't say anything back but instead went and took the book from earlier. She removes the binding on it letting me see the real cover.

She then handed the book to me. Looking at this illustration at the cover, I couldn't help but gulp at my own saliva.

What the hell is this title? And this illustration? It's too erotic even for a light novel.

"Now. Do you still think it is normal?"

I read the title of the book. It's a bit long and err. Even for me, this is unexpected.

"My Beautiful Class Advisor who lets me do anything to her."
