Chapter 150: Returning to School
[At two thirty in the afternoon, you and Artoria have a mud-throwing fight on the mudflats.]
[You discover that Artoria becomes surprisingly fierce when throwing mud, like a wild boar princess, but that's exactly what makes throwing mud with her so fun.]
[At three in the afternoon, you all get to taste Finn-sensei's excellent seafood cooking skills.]
[If Finn-sensei were mute, he would basically be perfect.]
[By four in the afternoon, everyone climbs the highest mountain nearby and takes a commemorative photo of today's beautiful moments at the summit.]
[You post the group photo on social media, but you accidentally forget to censor Roland, resulting in your account being locked for a month.]
[You all spent this afternoon break in laughter and play.]
[And so, time continues to pass...]
[By five in the afternoon, it is time to return.]
The sun slowly sank below the horizon, the golden sunset laying a warm glowing edge across the line where sky met earth.
In that lazy light, the boys who had played all day couldn't help feeling sleepy.
"I'm… completely worn out…"
Eikou and the male students lay sprawled across the back seats of the car, their expressions relaxed yet exhausted, no longer able to move.
"Whew… this time I finally fulfilled my wish, making up for the last trip when I was sick."
Eikou sighed,
"The only thing missing was not being able to see the girls in swimsuit, what a shame."
"So are we going to the Water Park next week?" Tristan asked.
"Let's save the Water Park for July or August. We should save more money first, and besides, there will definitely be more girls in swimsuit then. That's the real summer!"
"Swimsuit! Summer!"
The boys suddenly sat up straight in excitement, shouting energetically, then collapsed back down as if they had risen from a state of death.
"Ha ha, you guys…"
Finn-sensei sat in the driver's seat. This time, he kindly acted as the free chauffeur, preparing to drive the students back to Chaldea Academy.
He looked at the exhausted, messy boys in the rearview mirror—like a bunch of kids who would never grow up—and smiled with a mix of helplessness and fondness.
"Focus on your studies first. Boys who study well are the ones who get popular. Compared to looks, your inner qualities matter much more!"
"Look at that, what a shallow philosophical speech…"
Eikou tried to squeeze himself into a comfortable sitting position among Charlemagne and Gawain,
"Even if you didn't say that, I would still try my best. Because of Scathach… wait, sensei, I just realized something!"
"What is it?"
"If you're coming back, then what will happen to Scathach-sensei?" Eikou asked with slight concern.
"No idea, depends on how the school arranges things," Finn laughed heartily. "In terms of skill and expertise, she's slightly better, but in terms of looks and personal charm, I'm still superior!"
"Gawain, help me roll down the car window a bit, I'm about to vomit!" Eikou pretended to gag outside.
"Hey, I've been wondering since yesterday—don't tell me you actually like Scathach?"
"What, you like someone older?" Gawain sighed, "Eikou, the gap between us grows wider each day."
"I understand Eikou's feelings. Women are like fine wine, the older they are, the richer the flavor…" Finn-sensei said knowingly: "Men like novelty, ravens like young hens, married women with kids, strong flavor and unique --- by Sir Lancelot du Lac, umu."
"If Scathach installed surveillance cameras here, you guys would be dead…"
Eikou folded his arms, unusually showing a serious expression,
"You're all English gentlemen, don't joke about a woman's age. I'm serious. I don't like this type of joke, so don't repeat it next time."
"!"
Gawain, sharp as always, and the experienced Finn were both startled when they heard this.
Was this… him defending his wife?
Everyone else was joking casually, not taking it seriously. Only Eikou heard everything and spoke up with a solemn declaration.
Even if he himself didn't realize it, he had completely protected Scathach as if she were his own woman!
He said he doesn't like married woman, but isn't this reaction… rather passionate?
"S-sorry…"
In this kind of situation, both of them could only bow their heads and apologize.
"You're forgiven."
A smile returned to Eikou's face. He put on his earphones, played music, and looked out the car window, quietly waiting to return to school.
[You tend to get sleepy when riding in a car.]
[As soon as the car began moving, you quickly felt drowsy, and before long, you had closed your eyes and fallen asleep.]
[While you sleep, Tomoe Gozen—riding in the girls' vehicle—suddenly wakes up.]
A dice fell.
[The result is ???]
[It seems something is happening somewhere far away.]
[Tonight, you will learn the final judgment from Tomoe Gozen and the Shadow Discipline Committee.]

Einzbern Counseling Room · Anonymous Post.
[Anonymous post from a married woman]
"Recently I've run into a rather troublesome situation…"
"I heard that people often use the anonymous feature to confess or badmouth someone, so I wanted to make a post too."
"Yesterday—around noon on June 1st—I happened to meet a male student from another class in front of Chaldea Academy."
"It looked like he was preparing to go on a summer outing. He and his friends made an insect box, carrying insect nets and glue—probably planning to head into the mountains to catch insects."
"He isn't exactly young anymore, but he still keeps childish hobbies, completely unashamed to play childish games like insect-catching, and even proudly showing off the handmade insect box he crafted himself…"
"Oh my, I even felt embarrassed for him…"
"But honestly, this hit my tastes exactly…"
"Since this is anonymous, I'll say it straight… My sexual preferences are a bit weird. When I see an adult man doing childish things, I can't help feeling aroused… that cute contrast of his was really too irresistible, it made me want to 'eat him whole'~."
"If he enjoys acting like a kid that much, I wonder if he wouldn't mind playing some special games with me…"
"If anyone witnessed it at that time, please help me find his contact information! Thank you everyone!"
