Upon hearing this, Kobayashi Itsuki immediately replied with a smile.
"Of course there's no problem. Whose house are we visiting today?"
"We're going to Cheetah's house. He was so excited when he heard about this and pestered me, insisting that you come along."
"Alright, I'll change my clothes, and then we'll leave."
Kobayashi Itsuki said, grabbing his clothes and walking toward the changing room.
"Eh..."
Ageo Masumi, who had been standing hesitantly nearby for a long time, watched Kobayashi Itsuki's departing figure and lowered her hand in disappointment.
She had originally wanted to ask Kobayashi Itsuki to go on the home visit with her, but she was too embarrassed to say it because someone else was nearby, and she didn't expect Ageo Masumi to beat her to it.
Seeing this, Matsuzaka Ume tossed her hair, feeling a little smug.
Striking first was best. Now she would start leveraging her advantage of being near the source to increase the time she spent with Kobayashi Itsuki.
"Teacher Kobayashi, can you come participate in the Sunflower Class home visit the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow? Sure, whether it's the Rose Class, the Sunflower Class, or the Tulip class, any is fine. We can just rotate."
Kobayashi Itsuki said with a chuckle. For him, any class was fine; he was just farming treasure chests anyway.
"Then, then I'd also like to invite Teacher Kobayashi..."
Ageo Masumi, standing nearby, realized that if she didn't speak now, she would miss her chance entirely, so she quickly mustered her courage and spoke up.
"Yes, yes, let's arrange it in this order: Rose Class, Tulip class, Sunflower Class, one class per day."
"Today, we'll start by going to Cheetah's house in the Rose Class."
After confirming with the three teachers, Kobayashi Itsuki quickly changed his clothes and rode the kindergarten bus with Matsuzaka Ume.
"Teacher Kobayashi!"
"Teacher Kobayashi!"
On the kindergarten bus, the children immediately greeted Kobayashi Itsuki enthusiastically.
Kobayashi Itsuki responded to each of them, while Cheetah stood proudly beside him, his face full of smugness as he showed off.
"Today, Teacher Kobayashi is coming to my house for a home visit! I'm the first kid in our Kindergarten that Teacher Kobayashi is visiting."
The things children boast about are always a bit strange.
However, given Kobayashi Itsuki's popularity among the Kindergarten children, it was understandable that he would boast.
"Our Rose Class is just better than your Sunflower Class, that's why Teacher Kobayashi is coming to my house first!"
"Who said that? Teacher Kobayashi isn't like that at all!"
Kazama Toru immediately stood up, unwilling to concede, and argued righteously.
"Teacher!"
Before Kazama Toru and Cheetah could start arguing, Nohara Shinnosuke suddenly leaped over and hugged Kobayashi Itsuki's leg.
"What's wrong, Shin-chan?"
Kobayashi Itsuki pinched Nohara Shinnosuke's chubby little face and asked.
"Teacher, come to my house!"
Nohara Shinnosuke tugged at Kobayashi Itsuki, looking pitiful, and shot him a pair of sparkling eye-rays, trying to move him.
"My mom and sister have always wanted Teacher Kobayashi to..."
Seeing Nohara Shinnosuke's expression, Kobayashi Itsuki reached out and blocked his eyes, stopping the broadcast attack.
"Shin-chan, are you sure you want me to visit your home, and not just to see your sister Nanako?"
When Nohara Shinnosuke heard Nanako's name, the expression on his face stiffened slightly, and then he subconsciously turned his head and said evasively, "N-not really..."
See? This little rascal's thoughts were too easy to guess.
"Oh, so Shin-chan, you don't want me to? Then forget it..."
"No!"
As soon as he heard Kobayashi Itsuki's change in tone, Nohara Shinnosuke immediately couldn't sit still and quickly said,
"Please, you must bring Sister Nanako with you."
Kobayashi Itsuki immediately laughed. "When a teacher visits your home, it's for a home visit, not for me to talk about work with your sister Nanako."
"But if you want the teacher to come to your house, that's no problem."
"The day after tomorrow will be your Sunflower Class's turn. Teacher Yoshinaga, can we go to Shin-chan's house the day after tomorrow?"
"The day after tomorrow?"
Yoshinaga Midori tapped her chin with her finger, thinking for a moment.
"No problem. Then we'll go to Shin-chan's house the day after tomorrow."
Hearing that Ohara Nanako would not be coming, Nohara Shinnosuke seemed to have lost all his strength and tactics.
He slid weakly from Kobayashi Itsuki's leg and slumped onto the seat, still muttering about "Sister Nanako" and such.
Kobayashi Itsuki saw this and immediately laughed. Seeing Nohara Shinnosuke's frustrated look was truly amusing.
"Then it's settled. The day after tomorrow, we'll go to Shin-chan's house."
Kazama Toru, who was nearby, felt a bit dejected when he heard Yoshinaga Midori say this. He had originally wanted to invite Kobayashi Itsuki to his house, but Shin-chan had beaten him to it.
"Shin-chan, go home and tell your mom that the day after tomorrow, Teacher Yoshinaga and Teacher Kobayashi will visit your home."
"Got it."
Nohara Shinnosuke leaned against the window, speaking weakly.
A moment later, the kindergarten bus stopped, and Matsuzaka Ume waved at Kobayashi Itsuki.
"Teacher Kobayashi, Cheetah's house is here."
"Okay."
Cheetah's house was not far from Nohara Shinnosuke's, also a detached house with a small yard.
As soon as he and Matsuzaka Ume got off the kindergarten bus, Cheetah happily skipped towards his house.
"Mom! Mom!"
"I'm home! Today, Teacher Matsuzaka and Teacher Kobayashi came to our house for a home visit!"
Cheetah was quite enthusiastic. His mother was a rather fashionable-looking married woman.
Her taste was just a little strange, especially her fondness for leopard print.
Her clothes also had leopard print.
Facing him and Matsuzaka Ume, both mother and son were exceptionally warm.
There were snacks and tea.
Cheetah even actively dragged over the big black dog he raised to introduce it.
Kobayashi Itsuki was quite impressed with this big black dog.
After all, whether it was scratching its crotch or marshmallows, this big black dog was no match for Shiro.
However, these were not the main points.
The real point was to open treasure chests.
After politely asking Cheetah's mother for her name, Kobayashi Itsuki decisively took over the conversation and, just like he did with Nohara Misae, began to praise Cheetah.
Things like being lively and active, exceptionally agile, a natural athlete.
A string of flattering words made Cheetah's mother beam with joy.
Even Cheetah himself seemed not to have realized that he was so outstanding in Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes, standing awkwardly to the side, his face slightly flushed as he stared at his toes.
Matsuzaka Ume watched Kobayashi Itsuki speak eloquently. Although she was the teacher in charge of the Rose Class, she had no intention of interrupting him.
Instead, her eyes were filled with admiration, and she watched everything with a silent smile.
Meanwhile, in Kobayashi Itsuki's mind, amidst the conversation, he clearly heard system prompts again and again, feeling exceptionally delighted.
