Classroom of the Elite: The Eroge

Chapter 35 Act 6: Scene 5

?As Kiyotaka left the classroom and set off for the teacher's office, all while ignoring the stares from his other classmates along the way, he was in deep thought.

Why would Chabashira-sensei call for a meeting with him? He couldn't have done anything wrong that could get him in trouble, right? In fact, he could count the number of his classmates who have actually committed an offense that would be worthy of a one-on-one meeting with their teacher.

"Could this be about the little incident that happened between Sakura and I?" he asked himself, remembering the escapade he had with one of his heroines a few weeks ago, where he walked in on her while she was changing clothes. "Hm, I don't think so. While she was extremely embarrassed about that incident, I doubt Sakura could tell someone else about it. She doesn't even talk to anyone in the classroom, so it's unlikely that she went to Chabashira-sensei right away."

Well, the only way to find out would be to go see his homeroom teacher. Whatever this meeting would be about though, Kiyotaka was almost certain that the cause of it was a simple misunderstanding. As far as he was concerned, he had done nothing wrong and he had been keeping a low profile ever since school began... well, trying to, at least.

It didn't take him long to find the faculty office. But just as his hand was about to touch the doorknob, he immediately noticed that someone else was about to do the same, causing him to pull his hand away.

"Oh, I apologize! Are you going inside too?"

He then turned his head to see one of the most beautiful girls whom he had laid eyes on. Sure, Horikita, Kushida, and Matsushita were very beautiful themselves, but this girl was almost on another level. Her strawberry-blonde hair that reached her back was already one thing, and then there were her eyes. They were of the color blue and Kiyotaka couldn't help but be drawn into them as the girl locked gazes with him. To add to that, she also had a well-endowed figure like Sakura, to the point that the young man had to keep himself from looking down at her chest.

"Yeah, I was. You?" Kiyotaka coughed, as he steered his thoughts away from ogling this girl and her body. "I wonder if the system made her into a heroine as well?"

She smiled. "Yep. I'm looking for our class adviser, Hoshinomiya-sensei. She was supposed to arrive at our classroom about an hour ago, but she didn't show herself. So, I came to check if she's here. What about you?"

"I was called here for a meeting with Chabashira-sensei," he revealed, finding no reason to hide that fact from her.

"Oh, so that was you?" she asked, realizing that this was the same person whose name she heard over the school intercom earlier. "Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, right?"

Kiyotaka nodded.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ayanokouji-kun! My name is Ichinose Honami, from Class B."

She threw out her hand for a handshake, which he accepted without hesitation. As he did so, several notifications popped up and the young man quickly read through them all.

[Honami Route has been Unlocked! You can now see 'Heroine Status' with Ichinose Honami!]

[Your current status with Honami has changed to 'Fellow Leaders'!]

[You have gained 1 Affection Point with Ichinose Honami!]

[Congratulations! You unlocked the Achievement: 'Harem Creator'! You gained +5 in Charm!]

"Seriously? All I did was shake her hand..." he raised an eyebrow, taken aback at how easy that was before letting out a sigh at the last one. "...and I'm not surprised that there's an 'achievement' like that. If the system's not making my life more complicated than before, then it's mocking me about my situation."

He shook his head to shift his attention back to reality, as he gave her a nod out of acknowledgement. "I'm delighted to meet a beautiful girl like you."

Honami blinked a few times, before she blushed, having been caught off guard by that compliment.

[You have gained 5 Affection Points with Ichinose Honami!]

Kiyotaka quickly realized what he just said. "Wait, did I really say that? That wasn't what I had in mind. Oh, don't tell me this is gonna be a regular occurrence from now on..."

It was already obvious that the system was making him say these things, even though he didn't choose between the three choices that it normally gives him when talking to a heroine. Even now when he is finally getting used to the madness that this eroge superpower can bring to a normal person, it's still finding a new way to annoy him.

Before he could apologize to the girl about what he said, he noticed that her 'heroine screen' had finally appeared atop her head. Obviously, he couldn't help but read it and see what information it could give him.

[Ichinose Honami: 'Bright and Friendly Schoolmate']

[Relationship Status: Fellow Leaders]

[Affection Points: 6/100]

[Heroine Summary: Honami is an extremely beautiful girl who is currently considered to be one of the most attractive students in this school. She has a buxom figure; beautiful hair, big boobs, godlike hips, sexy thighs, pretty much everything you could ever want in a girl. Despite her bubbly and friendly personality, she had a troubled past that nearly destroyed her life. When her mother was hospitalized, it left her younger sister without a present on her birthday. She stole an expensive hair clip to make her sister happy, but it was soon returned when her mother found out and she was left in a depressed state for months causing her to waste the remaining time of her 3rd year in middle school.]

Okay... he didn't need to see that first part because he could already see those traits from her, but the later part of her 'summary' was what definitely caught his attention.

"Like Karuizawa, she's doing a good job of hiding her past by putting up a bright and friendly face. She's not like Kushida, though... Ichinose seems like she genuinely wants to get along with everyone," he concluded. "There's a few vague parts of her 'summary' that still need some details, but this already gives me enough information about her.

"Honami-chan? What are you doing here?"

A young woman of average height with light brown hair and purple eyes stepped out of the teacher's office, a confused look on her face.

Honami quickly snapped out of her flustered state and turned her attention to the woman. "Hoshinomiya-sensei, why didn't you arrive for homeroom earlier? We've been waiting an hour for you, but you never showed yourself."

"Eh?" she tilted her head in confusion, before it all came crashing down on her like a ton of bricks. "O-Oh, silly me! I must have forgotten. Must be because of the alcohol from last night... I'm sorry, Honami-chan! Please forgive me!" she wailed, shedding anime tears as Honami tried to calm her down.

"What an incompetent teacher," Kiyotaka commented in his thoughts. He had never tasted alcohol before, but he was completely sure that it's a bad idea to get drunk when a person has a job the next morning... especially for a teacher in the most prestigious high school in the country.

The woman quickly recovered from her crying fit and noticed Kiyotaka's presence afterwards, causing her to raise an eyebrow curiously. "Oh, and who's this? I don't believe you're part of my class... are you?"

"I'm not," he replied. "I was asked by Chabashira-sensei to go here."

"Oh, Sae-chan? That's strange... she never asks for students to go here..." she mumbled, before eagerly walking up to the young man. "Ne, ne, why did she tell you to come here? Huh? Why?"

"I have no clue."

p?nd?,no??1,?o? "Ehhh? But that's not right! There has to be a reason why she called you here! Hmm, what's your name?""

"Ayanokouji Kiyotaka."

"Ayanokouji-kun, eh? I'm Hoshinomiya Chie, the teacher in charge of Class B. Sae-chan and I have been friends since high school!" she smiled, before leaning closer to him. "You must be pretty popular in her class, huh?"

While the young man maintained his calmness despite the woman's zealous attitude, Kiyotaka began to wonder if she was really a teacher. She was acting more like a student with the tendency to question everything rather than a person with a job to lecture her class.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, I think you should leave Ayanokouji-kun—"

Chie ignored her. "Hey, hey, do you have a girlfriend?"

"I don't," he shook his head, but his mind had another answer. "Technically, I'll soon have eight girlfriends thanks to this eroge system. I wonder how that will fare..."

"Hmm... if you were in my class, then I'd have you all to myself. Ayanokouji-kun is pretty hot, if I may say so~" Chie flashed him a seductive look, which caught Honami off guard and made her take a step back, while Kiyotaka remained as calm as ever.

Before she could do anything else though, a stern voice stopped the woman in her tracks.

"What are you doing, Hoshinomiya?"

Chabashira-sensei stepped out of the office in time to see what was happening between her fellow teacher and her student. Without hesitation, she smacked Hoshinomiya on the head with her clipboard, making the woman back away while holding her skull in great pain.

"Ow! What was that for?" she cried.

"For attempting to assault one of my students."

Chie pouted. "Aw, I was just asking him some questions while he waited for you, Sae-chan."

"It didn't seem like you were," Sae folded her arms, unamused with her fellow teacher's antics. "Ichinose, was it? Please take her away."

Honami quickly shook her head to snap herself back to reality, as she nodded and grabbed her teacher by the hand, before pulling her away from there.

"Eh?! Noooo! I still have some questions I want to ask Ayanokouji-kun...!" The woman cried helplessly as she tried, and failed, to free herself from Ichinose's grip.

Kiyotaka watched quietly as Hoshinomiya-sensei got dragged away. "I have no idea if Hoshinomiya-sensei is going to be a heroine as well, but considering how Chabashira-sensei is a potential one, I shouldn't be surprised. I wonder how I should deal with her if that ever happens," he said in his thoughts, already thinking of a plan if it ever happens that Chie would be one of his heroines.

"Sorry about her," Chabashira spoke, gaining the young man's attention. "Let's go inside and we can discuss what I called you here for."

Sae opened the office and allowed her student to step inside first, before closing the door. She then gestured for him to sit down on one of the couches, where three cups of tea were waiting at the small table at the center. Kiyotaka noticed the extra teacup right away, making him think that there's someone else who'll be joining them.

"Am I in trouble?" he asked as he sat down. "I don't think I've done anything wrong, sensei."

"No, you haven't done anything wrong. At least in the eyes of the school," Sae answered him as she took her seat as well.

Before he could think about what she meant, the door then opened, causing the teacher and student to turn their heads and see who had arrived.
