Part-Time Witch Higurashi

Chapter 14

After the second class in the afternoon, it was time for the club's activities.

As soon as the teacher announced the end of the class, Momashiro rushed out of the classroom like a sword leaving its bow. She ran towards the tennis court, leaving the teacher chasing after Momashiro and desperately calling for Momashiro to hand in her homework.

Momashiro Takeshi was promoted to the third year of middle school and became the head of the tennis club. Every day, he was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the ground. He had to train the new students and was beaten by Echizen in front of the new students. (Momashiro: … …) It had only been two or three months since school started, but he had lost a lot of weight.

Momashiro suddenly realized how hard it was to be the head of the tennis club. She wanted nothing more than to hug Minister Tezuka's thigh and cry three times, begging him not to leave. She also dragged Ryoma Echizen and kept saying, "Hurry up and get promoted. The next head of the tennis club will be you. As your senior, I can barely support you for a year … …"

Now, Momashiro's face was full of hidden bitterness as she held a pen and stared blankly at this month's financial report. In her heart, she was muttering, "Minister Tezuka, I miss you so much … …" Then, she heard a knock on the door of the club office.

She subconsciously glanced at the door and actually saw Minister Tezuka, whom she had been missing day and night!

Momashiro rubbed her eyes. After confirming that she wasn't dreaming, she was so happy that she almost cried. Minister Tezuka … … Did you sense my pain and specially come to save me?

Ah … … Can I not be the head of the tennis club anymore?

Tezuka Kunimitsu: "Momashiro, long time no see."

He had just passed by the tennis court and saw a group of new students doing basic training under Haitang's leadership. When he returned to the club office, he saw Momashiro Takeshi writing the financial report. Tezuka Kunimitsu nodded with gratification. "You're doing well. Good luck."

Then, Tezuka turned around and left.

Turned around and left.

Gone, gone … …

Momashiro: "…"

He quickly jumped up and chased after him as fast as he could. Like an abandoned child, he miserably called out Tezuka's name.

Tezuka helplessly stopped where he was and waited for Momashiro to catch up with him. He asked with his eyes if there was anything else.

,

"Minister Tezuka —"

"I'm no longer the minister, Momashiro," Tezuka replied gently. "You're the minister now."

"But …" But I really don't know how to be a department head!

Could it be someone else?!

Momashiro felt a little wronged, but she swallowed the words she wanted to say. She changed the topic and asked Tezuka, "Minister Tezuka, did you take the day off to visit us today?"

"Ah, I asked for leave to visit a friend. I also wanted to visit you guys."

With a crack, Momashiro heard the sound of her heart breaking.

Minister, what friend of yours is more important than all of us in the tennis department?

He was both curious and disappointed. "Who is it? Do I know him?

Minister, you even asked for leave to visit him … … "

Tezuka nodded slightly. "Ah." You know him.

Momashiro didn't understand Tezuka's expression at all. She didn't want to pester Tezuka and ask any more questions. She said goodbye to Tezuka sullenly and walked in the direction of the tennis department gloomily.

Suddenly, a familiar red hair sprang out from the bushes behind her!

"You —" Before Momashiro could finish her words, her mouth was covered by her unreliable senior, Kikumaru, and she was dragged into the bushes.

"Mmm … …" Momashiro struggled to peel off Kikumaru's hand. She couldn't help but gasp and ask in surprise, "Why are you guys here?!"

Behind the bushes were her four unreliable seniors: Fuji Shūsuke, Kikumaru, Dashi Shūichiro, and Qian Zhenzhi.

Fuji Shūsuke greeted Momashiro with a smile. "Yo, long time no see!"

"Long time no see … … What? Tell me honestly, are you guys following Minister Tezuka again?!" Momashiro wasn't stupid. She knew that these bastards didn't miss her at all.

They asked for leave and followed her secretly because they were curious about who Minister Tezuka's friend was!

"You guys didn't think about me at all!"

"Ha, ha, ha … … How could that be?" Dashi smiled awkwardly. "We heard from Coach Long Qi that Momashiro led the tennis department very well."

"What? Actually, Momashiro, you're curious too, aren't you, Nya?"

Kikumaru patted Momashiro on the shoulder. "Let's go, let's secretly see who Minister Tezuka's important friend is!"

"…" Momosei, who was full of gossip, quietly sneaked into the bushes and secretly followed behind Mr. Tezuka with the movements of several people.

Several people followed suit, watching Tezuka in front of them bypass the basketball department, pass through the art building, and walk straight in the direction of the teaching building.

Kikumaru: "Who would be in the school building at this time? Everyone is participating in club activities … … Is he looking for a teacher?"

Qian: "If Tezuka went up the stairs in this direction, the probability of him going to the classroom or office on the other side is about 17%."

Momashiro: "Not necessarily, not necessarily. For example, the girl sitting behind me seems to have signed some kind of certificate with the school saying that she's not in good health, so she didn't participate in club activities."

Kikumaru: "That's fine, I want my mom to sign one for me too!"

Dashi: "Stop it, Yingji. You'll get beaten up by your mom."

Fuji: "Haha … … Maybe Tezuka is really going to find the girl Momashiro mentioned."

Momashiro: "How is that possible? If Hyuga and Minister Tezuka know each other —"

Before Taocheng could finish his words, he saw Tezuka knocking on the door of the classroom where he was in Grade 3-8 and walking in.

Momashiro was stunned.

Fuji: "So it's true, pfft."

Kikumaru was so excited that his face turned red. "Could it be the legendary girlfriend?!

Minister Tezuka's girlfriend?! "After saying that, he walked through the corridor and squatted down to look into the classroom through the window.

He poked his head out to take a look, then quickly shrank back and mouthed to the people huddled in the stairwell: It's really a girl!

Momashiro: "… … Could it really be Hyuga?"

Fuji: "Interesting, hahaha."

Qian was frantically writing in his notebook, "Tezuka's girlfriend!

What good data … … "

Dashi: "Tezuka has a girlfriend, and we didn't even know!

Why didn't he tell us? Was he afraid that we would cause trouble? No, we are causing trouble now. What should we do? Blame ourselves … … "

In the classroom, Kanna Hikari glanced out the window with an ambiguous expression.

Because of the nourishment of Reiki, she was able to see and hear clearly. She immediately saw the red hair under the window and heard the sound outside.

Tezuka Kunimitsu pushed up his glasses and said awkwardly in a low voice, "Sorry, Canaissan."

Tezuka Kunimitsu's father, Tezuka Guo Qing, was taken care of by Kanai and Shiyin during the Nana Nishimura case. He had wanted to thank Kanai in person for a long time.

Over the weekend, he finally managed to find some free time, but his Spirit-branded Retainers informed him that Kanna was away on a trip and wouldn't be home until Monday. That was why he had no choice but to ask his child to invite Kanna to visit the Tezuka family on his behalf.

Tezuka Kunimitsu, who vaguely knew the general situation, put the letter his mother gave to Kanai beside Kanai's desk and considerately stood one desk away from Kanai to avoid getting too close to her.

"Father has always been grateful to you. He also knows that you are alone at home and can't help but feel a little tired."

Tezuka said slowly. Thinking of how Kanai had just squinted her eyes to do homework, a trace of gentleness flashed through his eyes.

"Actually, it's nothing." Kanai waved her hand and smiled bitterly. "After all, my situation … Senpai and Uncle Tezuka both know about it. It's better if I don't go.

I appreciate Uncle Tezuka's kindness. "

Outside the classroom, Qian tried his best to stick his ear to the door, trying to hear what the two were talking about. Unfortunately, they were in the innermost corner of the classroom. Qian could only faintly hear that the legendary 'Tezuka's girlfriend' seemed to have rejected something, but he couldn't hear anything else.

Damn it, he really wanted to know what she had rejected!

Qian, who was about to explode with curiosity, stared closely at Momashiro and tried to force Momashiro to tell him the specific details of his female classmate.

Momashiro was still in shock that Hyuga and Minister Tezuka knew each other and were very close. Faced with Qian's bombardment of questions, she didn't even think about it before she told him everything she knew.

"… As for Sunset Mulberry, it's actually quite mysterious.

She often takes leave because of her poor health. Last week, she took a week off because she had chicken pox. She only came back on Monday to cancel her leave.

But her grades are very good, and she is often in the top ten of the grade — if she comes to the exam. "

"She doesn't usually talk to her classmates. She always looks like she is thinking about something with a straight face.

Everyone is a little afraid of her.

But she is actually quite gentle. When I don't know how to do the questions or difficulties, she is very enthusiastic to help me solve them. "

Hearing this, Kikumaru said to Dashi with certainty, "Miss Hyuga is definitely Tezuka's girlfriend." Their personalities were exactly the same.

"Is there anything else?"

Qian's glasses flashed as he listened to Momashiro and frantically wrote something in his notebook.

"Also …" Momashiro paused and said with a strange expression, "… Hyuga seems to hate, no … be afraid of interacting with people?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open, revealing Tezuka's cold face.

Everyone in the tennis club was speechless.

Tezuka said, "Everyone, run 30 laps!"

They didn't even dare to reply and ran to the field. Qian didn't give up and looked back. He happened to see the black-haired, black-eyed girl named Hyuga walk to Tezuka's side and say something to Tezuka. Tezuka showed a rare helpless expression.

"… I'm really sorry. I'll have to trouble senpai to tell Uncle Tezuka.

I really can't go for dinner tonight. "

Kanai bowed slightly to Tezuka apologetically.

"Ah, it's okay." Tezuka looked at the girl in front of him and gently shook his head. "Are you going out tonight?"

"Yes, because I'm very concerned about the cursed VCD player that Momashiro mentioned before. It would be bad if it was a demon."

That was why she had to finish her homework in the afternoon and prepare it. At night, she would ask Red Leaf to go to the Ice Emperor Academy to investigate.

"Don't work too hard. Know how to balance work and rest."

"Eh?

… Yeah? "

She didn't understand why the serious senior in front of her suddenly became cold. Kanai tilted her head and looked at Tezuka blankly.

"That's it, I'll be responsible for supervising you in the future."

Tezuka pushed up his glasses and said this. After he finished speaking, he nodded at Kanai and strode out of the classroom.

… What, the, hell.

Kanai was dumbfounded. She finished her homework with a stomach full of questions. She packed her bag and prepared to go home.

As she walked out of the teaching building, she carefully thought about the cursed VCD player that Momashiro mentioned.

The sun was setting in the west. Most of the students had already finished their club activities and left. Only a group of people was still running on the tennis field.

Kanai seemed to have heard Momashiro complaining, "I'm the head of the department, why am I being scolded?" and "Do I have to run more laps just because I'm the head of the department?".

With a guilty conscience, she lowered her head and quickly walked around the tennis court, heading towards the school gate.

Then, her footsteps stopped.

Facing the magnificent and gorgeous afterglow, a tall man wearing the Diguang uniform stood motionless in front of the school gate like a huge wax figure, attracting the attention of the surrounding girls of the Youth School, who were blushing and discussing.

He stared at Kanai. His face was as green as his hair.

Midori Shintaro's heart was burning with cold anger. He stared at his childhood playmate and gritted his teeth, "Ri, Mu, Ka, Nai!"

Kanna Hyuga: …

She turned around and ran.

Midori shouted angrily and disappointedly behind her, "Why don't you try running?"

"Canaissan?"

Tezuka, who had just come out of the tennis club, stood behind Kanai and called out to her in a low voice. He seemed to have seen Midori Shintaro at the school gate and stepped in front of Kanai.

Kanna Hyuga: …
