Chapter 92: Let's Happily Send Akane Minagawa to Prison!

"...But my first time, I've never given it to him! I was planning to wait until he got divorced, until our wedding day. Shunsuke-kun, do you believe me?"

"Mm-hmm... huh?"

Shunsuke, who had been making vague affirmations on the side, suddenly raised his tone.

Honestly, he didn't believe her.

Even without referencing the original story, just from a rational perspective, the chances of such a situation being true were slim—this was 21st-century Japan, after all.

But now that Hina was considered family, Shunsuke quickly adjusted his expression and tone, looking her straight in the eye. "I believe you."

"No, Shunsuke-kun, you don't actually believe me, do you?"

Hina wasn't fooled this time. She suddenly leaned in close and collapsed onto Shunsuke, the smell of alcohol hitting him directly.

"I can prove it to you right now, Shunsuke-kun, I... uh..."

Halfway through her sentence, Hina's entire body went limp, like a robot whose power had been cut, and she slumped onto Shunsuke.

His expression unchanged, Shunsuke retracted Star Platinum. Moments ago, he had used it to knock her out with just the right amount of force.

"Even if you wanted me to hold you, I'd prefer it to be after you've come to terms with this situation, after deep thought, and still want me to hold you. Even then, I might not agree, let alone in this spur-of-the-moment drunken state. That would make me feel like nothing more than a tool, and I really don't enjoy that. It would just sour my mood."

Speaking his thoughts aloud to the unconscious Hina, Shunsuke then lifted her into a princess carry and used Star Platinum to open the door.

"I'll leave the rest to you."

Shunsuke handed Hina over to the person standing outside—Rui.

"Got it," Rui replied.

Rui grabbed one of Hina's shoulders with both hands.

The moment Shunsuke let go, she allowed Hina to drop to the ground with a loud thud.

"...Didn't we agree on this?" Shunsuke said, incredulous.

"Mm-hmm," Rui replied casually.

With that, Rui grabbed one of Hina's hands and began dragging her away without a second thought.

—So, this is what having a biological sister is like.

At that moment, Shunsuke couldn't help but think how adorable and considerate Sagiri was by comparison.

...

"Fujii-kun, do you remember what you said yesterday?"

"Why is it that after that incident, not only Tachibana-sensei but even Minagawa-sensei got involved? Don't tell me Minagawa-sensei is also part of your family."

"If the photo of you with both of them spreads, you might avoid expulsion with just a suspension, but Tachibana-sensei and Minagawa-sensei will definitely be fired. With such a blemish on their records, no school will hire them again."

Yukino glared at him with disappointment, her frustration evident.

Though it was a personal matter between the three of them, she lived her life upholding absolute correctness.

Seeing such a situation, she couldn't just stand by and ignore it.

"Yukinoshita-san, I recall you said you weren't following me, didn't you?" Shunsuke tried to change the subject.

"If I said it was still a coincidence, would Fujii-kun believe me?"

"If I said yesterday was an accident, would Yukinoshita-san believe me?"

"Honestly, not really."

"But I believe you, Yukinoshita-san."

"...That's such a cunning way of putting it."

"But I mean it. And by the way, I think Minagawa Akane, a teacher who tarnishes the profession's reputation, can be fired right now." Shunsuke shifted the topic again. "I'm not interested in people like her, but I'm guessing the students she's secretly 'consumed' aren't just one or two. Although I don't have evidence."

Yukino put down the paperback book in her hands. "Fujii-kun, can you take responsibility for what you just said?"

"What do you plan to do?"

"If what Fujii-kun said is true, it must be reported to the school, or even the police. Such a person doesn't deserve to be a teacher. Prison is where she belongs."

Yukino was serious.

If it was just one person, it could be argued that it was mutual affection. While still unethical, Yukino wouldn't be so quick to jump to conclusions.

But if, as Shunsuke suggested, there were more than one or two cases, then it was clear Akane was leveraging her age and experience to prey on underage boys.

This was undeniably criminal behavior.

Such a corrupt individual in the teaching profession needed to be eradicated!

"Ah, this..."

Shunsuke couldn't hold back.

Sending Minagawa Akane to prison?

Even with his unconventional thinking, he couldn't have come up with such a bold move!

To have this kind of real-world discussion inserted into a seemingly two-dimensional world felt incredibly jarring!

"So, Fujii-kun, can you take responsibility for what you just said?" Yukino turned to look at him seriously. "If it turns out later that it's false, that would count as slander and filing a false police report. That's also a crime. I don't want to see you end up in trouble."

"Minors wouldn't be sent to jail for something like this, you know," Shunsuke quipped.

Yukino frowned. "Fujii-kun, this is a serious conversation. Please take it seriously too."

"The only cases I can confirm are Mugi Awaya from the class next door and my middle school friend, Takuya Terauchi. He's now attending a different school, and at the time, Minagawa-sensei wasn't a teacher yet; she was still a college student working as a part-time tutor."

"As for evidence, like I said, I don't have any. I'm not the type to take secret photos. Of course, hiring a private investigator to follow her might uncover a lot."

"Private investigators are out of the question. Many of their methods could be considered criminal themselves," Yukino said firmly.

Shunsuke spread his hands. "Then there's nothing I can do."

"Ah..." Yukino sighed and pressed her fingers against her temples. "Fujii-kun, have you known Minagawa-sensei for a long time?"

"Yeah. Back then, I was originally supposed to be Takuya's tutor. But she swooped in out of nowhere and snatched the job from me. Not that I wanted to do it in the first place," Shunsuke replied.

"Before she got involved with Takuya, her first target was actually me. But I wasn't interested in her, so she didn't succeed. Takuya, on the other hand, couldn't resist. His private life was already a mess."

"So, why did Minagawa-sensei do it? Money?" Yukino asked.

"If it were about money, her first target wouldn't have been me. Back then, I was broke," Shunsuke said, pointing to his handsome face. "Friendly reminder: whether it's me, Mugi, or Takuya, we're all pretty popular guys."

"Targeting attractive guys... that makes it feel even worse," Yukino remarked.

"Uh, Yukinoshita, aren't you going to throw a snarky comment my way?" Shunsuke asked, feeling a bit off balance with this unusually agreeable Yukino.

"Why would I? Isn't Fujii-kun a handsome guy?" Yukino gave him a puzzled look. "This is a sensitive matter, Fujii-kun. For now, don't talk about it carelessly. Let me think it over."

Despite her brilliance, Yukino was still just a student—a student living in the ivory tower, shielded from the world's darkness by her overbearing sister, Haruno. It was only natural for her to be uncertain about handling such a situation.

"If you hadn't pressed me about it, Yukinoshita-san, I wouldn't have shared any of this with a classmate," Shunsuke admitted.

The two reached a mutual understanding.
