After the three of them finished breakfast together, Kotori finally revealed her surprise for Rin Yuki.
"Uh… Kotori, this is the surprise you got for me?"
Rin Yuki stared at the pair of glasses in his hand, then back at Kotori, who stood proudly in front of him.
"Heh heh, well? How about it, Onii-chan? Your beloved little sister picked this gift just for you! You should be grateful! It's a tool to help you see the blackboard clearly during lectures!"
Right now, Kotori's hair ribbon was black; she'd switched into her sharp-tongued, tsundere mode.
"Mm, I get it. It's 'love from my little sister,' right? I really like it, Kotori. Thank you."
Rin Yuki smiled warmly and gently ruffled Kotori's hair.
"Wah—!"
"S-Suddenly pulling a move like that… Onii-chan, you're… too sly…"Kotori let out a flustered whimper at his touch, her face burning red as she ducked her head, too embarrassed to meet his eyes.
Dealing with a little tsundere was second nature to Yuki—effortless.
After packing up, the two of them stepped out of the house together.
"We're heading out now, Reine-nee!"
"Mm, have a safe trip."
Murasame Reine stood outside the villa's gate, waving goodbye as she watched them leave. Only once they were out of sight did she return inside.
Back in the house, Reine moved with practiced ease straight to Rin Yuki's room.
She lay down on his bed, her cheeks flushed, breath slightly uneven as she hugged his pillow tightly.
"Yuki… Yuki…"
His name spilled from her lips in a soft, longing whisper.
Raizen Academy—the school Rin Yuki and Kotori attended.
Unlike the original timeline where it was just a high school, Raizen now included both a middle and high school division. Since Kotori was in middle school, she split off from Rin Yuki as soon as they entered the campus.
The moment Rin Yuki stepped into the high school building, he instantly became the center of attention.
The girls' eyes gleamed as they took in his striking looks, their gazes so intense it was like they were starving wolves ready to devour him whole.
But Rin Yuki was used to this.
For the past year, walking down the street meant being gawked at by women of all ages—today was no exception.
At one point, Kotori and Mio had even insisted that Rin Yuki couldn't go out alone; they were terrified some strange woman would kidnap him.
Rin Yuki ignored the stares around him.
Since he had transferred in a month after the school year started, he still needed to check in with his homeroom teacher.
First-Year Teachers' Office
A woman with long, silky pink hair, shimmering under the sunlight like a cascading waterfall—sat at her desk, her delicate features exuding an icy, porcelain beauty.
She flipped through documents with effortless grace, every movement radiating confidence.
Just as she paused, surprised by something in the files, the office door swung open.
A warm, magnetic voice filled the room, instantly capturing everyone's attention.
"Excuse me, which one of you is the homeroom teacher for Class 1-A?"
All the teachers immediately turned their gazes toward one direction.
The woman reviewing the documents spun around at the sound of his voice.
"That would be me. You must be… Rin Yuki, correct?"
The moment she saw his face, her breath hitched.
He was beautiful.
His features were sculpted like a painting—sharp yet refined, with soft lips and high cheekbones that formed a face capable of captivating anyone. His flawless, porcelain-like skin only heightened his ethereal elegance.
And then there was his physique: perfectly proportioned, with lean muscle and a natural grace that exuded both strength and beauty. The aura around him was almost otherworldly, something even a celestial being couldn't rival.
Rin Yuki's lips curled into a gentle smile as he recognized her instantly.
"Yes, sensei."
He already knew exactly who she was—Kirisu Mafuyu, the famously strict and accomplished teacher.
Rin Yuki had long realized this world wasn't just Date A Live. Over the past year, he'd done his research.
Not only did popular light novels like Love is War exist here, but even legendary doujinshi artists like Eromanga Sensei (or rather, Saenai Kanojo no Sodatekata's Megumi Kato's alter ego) were around.
So running into Kirisu Mafuyu, despite her being from We Never Learn, was something he'd braced himself for.
"Ahem. Right."
Snapping out of her daze, Mafuyu cleared her throat, trying to mask her earlier fluster.
She hadn't expected this transfer student to catch her so off guard.This was the first time the usually cold and composed "Ice Queen" teacher had ever been caught off guard like this.
"Come inside first."
"Sure."
Rin Yuki smiled faintly, closing the door behind him before stepping beside Kirisu Mafuyu.
Noticing his polite demeanor, Mafuyu gave a slight nod of approval, silently impressed.
Maintaining grace and etiquette… He really is the perfect model student.
"I'm Kirisu Mafuyu, your homeroom teacher for the rest of high school."
"Pleasure to meet you, Rin-kun."
Her tone was calm and professional as she introduced herself."Likewise, Kirisu-sensei."
Rin Yuki nodded in acknowledgment.
After a brief conversation and some paperwork, the school bell rang, signaling the start of class. Mafuyu promptly led Rin Yuki to his new classroom.
Class 1-A
The room buzzed with chatter as students whispered excitedly about the rumored transfer student.
Among them was a particularly lively, fashionably dressed girl with striking golden hair—the very image of a gyaru. A small group of girls huddled around her, gossiping eagerly.
"Kitagawa-san, did you hear? A new student's transferring in today!"
"Really? I wonder what they'll be like! What do you think, Kitagawa-san?"
"Uh… I just heard about it from you guys, so I've got no clue!"
The center of attention, Kitagawa Marin, laughed good-naturedly, her bright smile never wavering as she responded to her classmates.
But the moment sharp click-clacks of heels echoed down the hallway, the class immediately fell silent, everyone scrambling back to their seats.
Kirisu Mafuyu pushed open the door and stepped onto the podium.
Not a single student dared to make a sound.
"Today, we have a new student joining us—Rin Yuki. Let's give him a warm welcome."
The class erupted in applause as Rin Yuki stepped inside.Every eye in the room locked onto him instantly.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Rin Yuki.
I'm good at a lot of things, and I have plenty of hobbies too.If you're curious, feel free to chat with me privately."
His introduction was smooth, delivered with a charming yet effortless smile.
The girls' hearts practically exploded—his face was too unfairly handsome. Meanwhile, the boys could only gape in awe, their confidence instantly shattered by this god-tier transfer student.
"Alright, Rin Yuki. Your seat will be—"
Before Mafuyu could finish, the female students exploded into chaos.
"Rin-kun, sit next to me!"
"Don't listen to her! She's bad at grades! Come here—I'll tutor you personally!"
"Rin-kun! Forget them! I'll let you touch my black thigh-highs! Heck, you can even rip them if you want~~~"
The classroom had officially turned into a den of hungry wolves.Kirisu Mafuyu's face darkened.
