Private Sakura Academy High School. Looking at the school sign being dismantled and packed away, Bai Mo felt neither sorrow nor joy. After exchanging a few words with the security guard at the gate, he made his way to the teachers' office on the first floor of the school building.
Due to the merger of several schools, the renamed Private Sakuragaoka Academy's teachers' office was bustling with noise and activity. With faculty from four or five schools all gathered in one place, chaos was inevitable.
Taking in the scene inside the office, Bai Mo stood at the door and knocked. "I'm here to see Teacher Sawa-chan!"
At his words, a voice immediately called out from the noisy office, "Bai Mo-kun? Over here, over here!"
Spotting the female teacher waving from her desk, Bai Mo walked straight over. Standing at 185 cm tall with a lean, muscular build visible beneath his white shirt and exuding an air of masculinity, Sawa-chan couldn't help but narrow her eyes slightly.
Fresh out of college and newly appointed as the music teacher here, she hadn't expected her first encounter with a student to be with such a handsome young man. How lucky!
While Sawa-chan was lost in thought, Bai Mo placed a bag of items on her desk. "Teacher, these are some apples sent from my hometown. Please try them."
He understood the importance of social niceties.
Glancing at the bag of crisp, red apples, Sawa-chan—who came from a well-off family—immediately recognized them as a premium variety and tried to decline. But Bai Mo continued, "Sorry, Teacher, you mentioned there were some documents that needed revising. How long will it take? I have to head to Chiba this afternoon."
"It won't take long," Sawa-chan replied, snapping back to reality. "There are just five documents to sign—just a few signatures, really."
"As you can see, Bai Mo-kun, with the school year about to start, everyone's in a bit of a frenzy. After all, merging five schools is a first in Tokyo's history."
Indeed, while the new students wouldn't be affected, ensuring a smooth transition for the upperclassmen from their original schools was a significant challenge.
But that had nothing to do with Bai Mo.
Under Sawa-chan's guidance, he reviewed the documents and signed his name on the necessary application forms and contracts. Once everything was settled, he stood up to leave.
"Ah, by the way, Bai Mo-kun, since you're an international transfer student, would you like me to show you around the school? It might help you get familiar with the place in advance."
Before Bai Mo could respond, another voice chimed in nearby, "Oh? This junior is also an international transfer student?"
"That's perfect! Both of our school's international transfers are here now. Let me give you both a tour!"
Turning toward the voice, Bai Mo saw a girl with long black hair, and behind her stood a girl who was about 130 cm tall.
Mother and daughter?
No, no—
"Ah, President Amakusa! This is the former student council president of Private Sakura Academy High School, Amakusa Shino. And the girl behind you—is she also a new student this year?"
"That's right!" Amakusa Shino replied cheerfully. "This is Ryouko Ogura, a returnee from England. She's a genius with an IQ of 180! I just invited her to join the student council and was about to show her around."
"After all, this school is where I once shed sweat and spent my youth. No one knows it better than I do!"
Something about that statement felt off...
"Then I'll leave it to you, President Amakusa!"
"Leave it to me!"
After leading Bai Mo and Ryouko out of the teachers' office, Amakusa Shino glanced at the pair beside her and grinned. "I have to say, Bai Mo-kun and Ryouko-chan, the difference between you two is quite striking."
After all, one was 130 cm tall, and the other was 185 cm—quite the gap!
Meanwhile, Ryouko Ogura looked up at the unusually tall Bai Mo with a hint of envy in her eyes. Though having to stare straight ahead only to see his abdomen was admittedly frustrating.
"Hmph! President, weren't you going to show us around the school? This guy has somewhere to be later, right?"
"Right, right! Then let me give you the grand tour!"
"This is the infirmary. The beds here are quite soft... This is the girls' locker room. Oh, after the merger, they added a boys' locker room too—seems like it's a few classrooms away from here."
"This is an unused classroom, though I'm not sure if any clubs will apply to use it later. It'd be a shame if it got too noisy..."
Arriving at the sports equipment storage room, Amakusa Shino turned to Bai Mo again. "This is the sports equipment storage. That corner over there is pretty secluded, and only a few people have the key, so you don't have to worry about interruptions."
"Huh?"
Bai Mo tilted his head in confusion before taking another bite of his apple.
"My apologies, I wanted to prioritize introducing places that would excite male students first," Amakusa Shino said with a sheepish smile. "By the way, Bai Mo-kun, where did you get that apple?"
"Want one?" Bai Mo pulled two more from his backpack. "Don't worry, they're washed, and I didn't put any weird stuff in them."
"Weird stuff..."
At that, Amakusa Shino's legs twitched slightly.
"Ahem! There's one more place—let's go!"
"This is the music room. You can use the grand piano freely, but remember to wipe it down afterward!"
Amakusa Shino's performance was, as always, outstanding.
