He understood; this meant he was to mentor others.
He immediately wanted to refuse.
Kanoko Hasumi saw through his intentions and said with a pitiful expression, "Itsuka, you are the teacher's favorite student."
“Xiaolian is also my favorite teacher,” Yuto Itsuka replied, then changed the subject, “but I really don’t have much time. I usually have things to do in the evenings.”
"Kato-kun is here too."
"But then again, as the teacher's favorite student, if the teacher has made a request, then it is certainly not allowed to refuse."
Time is like that thing, you can squeeze some out.
Yuto Itsuka thought it was a way of repaying Kato for helping him write the skit.
"You rascal." Hasumi Yoshinoko laughed and scolded, ruffling Itsuka Yuto's hair with her hands.
Yuto Itsuka shook his head to escape the clutches. "If you like touching boys' heads so much, teacher, you should find a boyfriend soon."
Yoshiko Hasumi sighed, "I want to too, but since I joined Toyonosaki and became a homeroom teacher, I haven't had time to go out shopping or anything. Besides, once people hear that I'm a teacher, they're not very willing to talk to me anymore."
That's true. For professions like teachers, doctors, and police officers, finding a serious partner isn't easy.
It's not that I don't have money, it's that I don't have time.
Some people shake their heads at the mention of a teacher because they don't want their future children to live a miserable life of "listening to teachers' lectures at school and then having to listen to teachers' admonitions at home."
"Teacher, you're so beautiful. Even if people only look at your face, they wouldn't care that you're a teacher, right?"
"Perhaps the teacher's expectations were too high," Hasumi Yoshiko said with a smile.
"How tall is it?"
"Gentle, kind, intelligent, physically strong, devoted in relationships, filial to parents... Come to think of it, there are quite a few," Hasumi Yoshiko said somewhat shyly.
"Oh my god! That's me!" Itsuka Yuto exclaimed, "You're talking about me!"
"Boom."
Hasumi Yoshinoko grabbed the lesson plan from the table and smacked him on the head.
"Really, don't joke about the teacher."
"Feel sorry."
“But you are definitely talking about me,” Yuto Itsuka muttered to himself.
Hasumi Kinoko didn't hear, "Then the study group is settled. As for the time... how about Saturday afternoon to evening?"
"No, I have something to do tomorrow, let's do it on Sunday."
"Okay, then I'll inform the other students."
"Okay, I'll be going now. Kato-kun is still waiting for me outside."
Hasumi Yoshinoko waved her hand, and Itsuka Yuto walked out of the office.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Hasumi-sensei talked to me about the study group."
Will Itsuka come?
"Yes, I'll go on Sunday. The teacher will let me know the location then."
"Ah."
The two walked together to the club building.
The door to the activity room was ajar, and it was very quiet inside.
Pushing open the door, I found only Kasumigaoka Utaha sitting quietly in her usual spot by the window, reading a book.
She was wearing black stockings today, her legs crossed, her posture elegant.
Hearing the door open, she raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over Itsuka Yuto and Kato Megumi, without saying a word.
Kato Megumi looked around the empty classroom and asked with some confusion, "Kasumigaoka-senpai, isn't Sawamura-senpai here today?"
"She went to the art department."
"The Art Department?"
Yuto Itsuka paused for a moment before remembering that Eriri was a member of the art club.
He asked curiously, "Is it okay for one person to join two clubs?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha tucked a strand of black hair behind her ear. "There's no rule against it in the school regulations, as long as the activity times of the two clubs don't conflict."
“I see.” Yuto Itsuka nodded.
The two found seats and sat down separately.
He then asked, "Kasumigaoka-senpai, what are today's club activities?"
"Free time."
"free time?"
"Junior Wuhe, do you have any comments?"
"No, no, it's up to you."
"Let's have some free time," Itsuka Yuto said, taking out a copy of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from his bag and starting to read.
It's still the Chinese version.
This scene caught Kasumigaoka Utaha's attention. She saw the four Chinese characters on the cover and asked curiously, "Itsuka-senpai, are you reading the Chinese version?"
"Ah."
Is your Chinese very good?
"is acceptable."
It's about the level of a native speaker.
"You like the history of the Yan Kingdom? The Three Kingdoms period?"
"No, I also read the history of the Warring States period in China, as well as Western history."
"The Western...Middle Ages?"
How did you know? Did I get exposed?
"……Roughly the same."
Kasumigaoka Utaha nodded and didn't say anything more.

[P.S.: My boyfriend~]
"I'm so sorry that the Ironclad Simulator will leave you with lifelong regrets!"
While traversing the Collapsed Starry Sky Railway, Fuyun intended to casually pick up a Black Tower puppet for research, but unexpectedly activated the Lifelong Regret Simulator.
The reward is for making the simulated protagonists live with regrets for the rest of their lives? Sorry!
[Crisis on Azure Star: The Black Tower's research into a simulated universe is captured by the Silent Lord, who, despite their best efforts, cannot defeat them.]
Will you stop her or run away?
What are you babbling about? Go tell my Iron Fist!
Black Tower Sensory Synchronization Doll +1
The swarm is attacking; the last line of defense.
You have successfully repelled the swarm of insects.
What is armor upgrade technology?
......
Fuyun had always thought the simulations were fake, until that day came...
Black Tower: I'm glad you're still alive, but can you explain to me what the hell that doll on your thigh is?!
Nguyen Mai: Darling, shall we go to the room and study life?
Firefly: Floating Cloud, will you marry me?
Floating Clouds: No, this isn't what I wanted to simulate! Don't come any closer!
Note: Multiple female leads + never suffers a defeat!
Volume 1: Chapter 30: My loyal fan of Kasumi-sensei is not Aki, it's Itsuki!
On Saturday morning, Yuto Itsuka stretched and sat up in bed, still a little groggy.
I stayed up a little late last night to meet the deadline, but the results were gratifying; the first draft of Volume 2 is now mostly complete.
He skipped the part where the male and female protagonists interacted and wrote the later plot about the male protagonist farming and developing his territory.
Once the romance scenes are added later, the second volume will be complete.
"Gurgle gurgle—"
After washing up, I had a simple breakfast—bread and milk from the convenience store, as usual.
This afternoon is Kasumigaoka-senpai's autograph session.
Fortunately, it wasn't his. Yuto has always kept his distance from such public appearances.
The reason I went there was also to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai for advice on writing romance novels.
"Study, everything for the sake of studying." He nodded to himself in the mirror.
He changed into a casual outfit, a simple white T-shirt and jeans, and slung a backpack over his shoulder containing the first volume of "Love Metronome".
Then I went out.
……
Ikebukuro, Tokyo, is also known as the exclave of Yan.
Exit from the west exit of Ikebukuro Station, or more precisely, the west exit (north).
Along the way, Youto Itsuka can see a lot of Chinese billboards, as well as... signs that say "I miss you in Ikebukuro" pasted on the walls.
Friendship Restaurant, Yongxiang Pan-fried Dumpling Restaurant, Xiangnan Pinpinxiang, Zhou Hei Ya (a type of braised duck), Fujian Laojiu (a type of liquor)...
As I walked along, all the signs were in Chinese, so it seems that what people online said about Ikebukuro being an exclave of Yan country is really true.
This made Itsuka Yuto, who was a Yan Kingdom person in his previous life, feel somewhat familiar.
The autograph session will be held at 1 p.m. in the event area of a large bookstore in Ikebukuro.
It's only a little past 10 a.m., there's still plenty of time.
Instead of rushing to the bookstore, Yuto Itsuka wandered around the neighborhood.
He first went to Animate's flagship store.
As a light novel author, it is essential to understand the currently popular anime and related merchandise.
Although his own works are farming-themed, he can always draw on useful elements from other genres.
Yuto Itsuka made a special trip to the light novel section and saw his own novel, "Transmigrating to Another World to Become the Strongest Farming King," displayed in a very prominent position, with a "Hot Selling" label next to it.
Although it wasn't the first time I'd seen it, I still felt a great sense of accomplishment.
He then saw Kasumigaoka-senpai's "Love Metronome," which was also placed in the bestseller section, indicating that it was indeed very popular.
After spending more than an hour at Animate, Yuto Itsuka went to a coffee shop, ordered an iced Americano, found a seat by the window, took out his notebook, and began to organize some of his thoughts and inspirations.
It was almost 12:30 when Yuto Itsuka paid the bill and headed to the bookstore where the autograph session was being held.
The bookstore is located on a commercial street and is quite large.
Upon entering, you'll see prominent signs directing you to the activity area.
He followed the signs and found that a fairly long queue had already formed outside the activity area, with at least a dozen or twenty people, and the vast majority of them were boys.
"It seems that Kasumigaoka-senpai has a lot of male fans." Itsuka Yuto was a little surprised, after all, judging from the title and cover, "Love Metronome" seemed to be a work more geared towards female readers.
