Hiratsuka Shizuka was in an unusually good mood today.
First, she had a light schedule with few classes, leaving her plenty of free time. Second, the cafeteria food was actually decent for once. But most importantly...
She had received word that Roland had returned to school today. Unfortunately, when she made a special trip to his classroom that morning, she didn't find the person she was hoping to see.
But he'll definitely be there for afternoon classes, right?
I'll just go again during the next class.
Ahem, of course, the "person she was hoping to see" wasn't because Hiratsuka Shizuka had any romantic feelings for Roland.
She did like him very much, but it was the kind of affection a teacher feels for an exceptional student.
While Roland wasn't the only outstanding student in her class, he held a special place in her heart. How could he not?
He was the only one in the entire class who dared to call her by her first name!
