Pirate's Freedom

Yukinoshita Yukino's phrase structure is similar to King of Kings, but it feels much more artistic.

Special building, a classroom with no words on the sign.

Tables and chairs were piled messily in the corner, looking more like an unused space being used as a warehouse.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, a girl who fits her name very well is reading quietly alone.

……

The library book on the table has been bookmarked.

"Mr. Porusalino, Class F of the second year, in order for you to have a correct understanding of the current situation, it is necessary for me to make some introductions before answering the questions."

A sweet sound like a stream filled the air.

"Japan's education system is based on the concept of [deviation]. Simply put, it is the difference from the average."

"If we want to be confident enough about the University of Tokyo, the [deviation value] must be stable above 70. In other words, it must exceed 97.7% of people and become the top 2.3%."

After closing the book, he put his hands flat on his knees and reported a series of data without thinking. Yukinoshita continued to explain in a straightforward tone.

"The students in our school have not violated the law of normal distribution. Most of them have a deviation value of around [-], which is about half to half. And in comparison, the second-year Class F is even lower... …”

Looking directly at the confused foreign teacher in front of her, as if to leave enough time to think, her voice paused deliberately.

"So, Mr. Porusalino, do you understand? From the perspective of scientific common sense, this wish does not have a real possibility."

Any reasonable person would be convinced.

After such a well-founded statement, the classroom became temporarily quiet. The second hand on the clock ticked slowly and loudly.

"...If this is the case, it will be nerve-wracking."

Porusalino, who was sitting on a chair almost three meters away with his legs crossed, raised his hand and scratched his head.

"If my students fail to get into Tokyo University, it will be very troublesome for me as a teacher."

"Teacher Porusalino, the role of a teacher is important, but learning is more of a personal matter."

Yukinoshita sighed helplessly.

"If there are students who are distressed by this, rather than asking you to come forward, it is better for them to come and discuss it themselves."

“It’s such a shame,” Porusalino confessed.

"At present, there are no students who are so gratifying. On the contrary, my willingness is relatively strong."

"..."

The sudden silence was jarring.

"If there are any other factors..."

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, her usually distant expression now looked a little cold.

"From an overall career perspective, most quick success measures will have the opposite effect in the end."

According to Japan's "Salary Regulations", teachers under the age of 58 can be promoted once a year after passing the assessment. Teachers with particularly outstanding performance can be promoted in advance by shortening the promotion period, or promoted by two levels. This kind of promotion is called special promotion.

New teachers who have reached middle age and are burdened with various pressures want to achieve results in order to get promoted. If you think carefully, this answer is more consistent with common sense.

However, Yukinoshita can understand it, but cannot accept it.

The sharp gaze, which is enough to make most people feel anxious, seems to cross the gap between adults and minors, and is directed towards the teacher in front of them.

At this moment, the classroom door was suddenly opened with a loud noise.

"Yukishita, are the discussions over?"

"Teacher Hiratsuka, I should have mentioned to you, please knock on the door before coming in, right?"

Yukinoshita spoke first.

"Even if I knock on the door, you never answer."

Shizuka Hiratsuka walked in loudly.

"Teacher Porusalino is still here. Sorry, sorry, don't ignore me. I'm just showing the new members around."

"Because before I could respond, Hiratsuka-sensei came in by himself."

Yukinoshita gave Shizuka Hiratsuka a dissatisfied look, and then cast a cold gaze behind her.

"Also, who is that person with the dull eyes?"

"It's almost come to an end. After all, the situation is roughly understood."

After giving a nonchalant answer, Porusalino also looked away.

"Oh, Hikigaya is here, thank you Hiratsuka-sensei."

After poking around, a boy with dead fish eyes had walked in. He was obviously in a trance when he saw Yukinoshita.

A scum of the world that is upright and groveling, naturally cheerful.

The above conclusion can be easily drawn by adding up the sounds, sounds, sounds, and appearances in front of people.

"Mr. Porusalino...?"

A strand of short black hair sticks up unruly on the top of his head. This boy's facial features are quite delicate, but when combined with his temperament and demeanor, he has a gloomy and autistic feeling. He looks like snow under the snow. Come to your senses.

When he saw Porusalino in the classroom, he obviously wanted to say something, but in the end he hesitated and kept his mouth shut.

"His name is Hikigaya and he wants to join the club."

Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to be reading a verdict.

"As you can see, he has a very twisted personality, so he is always lonely and very pitiful. Let him learn how to get along with others, and this situation should get better."

She crossed her arms and raised her lips.

"So can you put him here? I want to ask you to change his awkward and withdrawn personality."

"If that's the case, just ask the teacher to punch and kick him."

Glancing at Porusalino who was as if nothing had happened, Yukinoshita's attitude was a little impatient.

"I would like to if I could, but the management is stricter these days and teachers are not allowed to use physical violence against students."

"Allow me to refuse. Seeing this boy's evil and dirty eyes makes me feel very dangerous."

Yukinoshita pulled her collar and glared, while Hikigaya's expression changed complicatedly, and Porusalino looked at him with an expression of watching the show.

"Don't worry, Yukinoshita."

Hiratsuka Shizu said confidently.

"Don't look at his eyes and personality. Because of this, he is very good at risk assessment and self-protection. He will never do anything that violates the criminal law. You can trust his coward character."

"This is not a compliment at all... and it's not right? What does this have to do with risk assessment and self-protection? Please say it is [knowing how to use common sense]."

People who can't bear it appear.

"What a coward...that's how it is..."

Yukinoshita was thoughtful.

"Not only did I not listen, I accepted it..."

Hikigaya muttered.

"Well, since it's the teacher's request, I can't just sit back and do nothing...then I'll accept it."

Yukinoshita agreed reluctantly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you from now on."

Hiratsuka Shizu showed a satisfied smile, and then turned his attention to another person in the classroom.

"Teacher Porusalino, are you okay?"

"I understand, Hiratsuka-sensei."

Porusalino stood up from his chair, patted Hikigaya on the shoulder as he walked by, and then walked out of the classroom without any delay.

……

In the corridor of the special building, two people leaned against the wall together.

"Why don't you go back to the office, Mr. Hiratsuka?"

“It’s important to keep track of the situation on site.”

Tani stepped back on the wall with his right foot and asked Hiratsuka with his arms folded.

"Teacher Porusalino, what was the result of the discussion?"

"Things were predictably troublesome."

Even though he said this, his expression was not troublesome.

"I also want to see how the situation develops. Maybe it will turn around. Mr. Hiratsuka, how long are you going to wait here?"

"Take another look after 10 minutes. If there is nothing wrong, you can rest assured."

"Oh yo~ Mr. Hiratsuka, your requirements are too strict!"

A fussing sound came in my ears.

"Mr. Porusalino, why do you say that?"

Hiratsuka Shizu was a little strange.

"The encounter between people is an incredible thing. Someone once said this to me."

"Although there is no resonance, I understand a little bit."

Polusalino said.

"When two people meet for the first time, they feel at ease after being alone for 10 minutes. This is a fate that will last a lifetime."

……

The door was opened with a bang.

"Yukishita, I'm coming in!"

What appeared in front of the person who opened the door was Yukinoshita's freezing ray-like eyes and Hikigaya's timid and proud smile.

"Hiratsuka-sensei..."

Looking back at Hikigaya, Yukinoshita looked at Hiratsuka and sighed.

"Please remember to knock on the door..."

"Sorry, sorry," Hiratsuka Shizuka turned to her side as she apologized without sincerity.

"Teacher Porusalino, it seems that the situation is different from what you thought."

"Oh~ who knows."

"Mr. Hiratsuka, Mr. Porusalino, what on earth are you talking about?"

Yukinoshita frowned.

"Please don't do charades."

"It's just a joke for adults, don't take it to heart, children."

Hiratsuka Shizu said perfunctorily.

"Please don't do this," the temperature of Yukinoshita's voice continued to drop.

"It is very disgraceful for a teacher to bet on his students."

"As a human being, it's better to be able to joke around. Don't be so serious, Yukinoshita."

Hiratsuka Shizuka has a completely gag-worthy attitude.

"Hikigaya, just act like this and try to get rid of your awkward personality and dead eyes. Then, I'm going back. Remember to leave before school."

"Teacher Hiratsuka! Please, please wait a moment!"

Hikigaya finally got the chance to speak.

"What do you mean you want me to change? You make me look like a juvenile delinquent. What on earth am I doing here?"

"Yukishita, it seems like things are not going well for you."

Hiratsuka Shizuo sighed.

"Because he himself doesn't understand what his problem is."

Yukinoshita's expression was calm.

"that……"

Hikigaya tried his best to retort.

"Since the beginning, you have been asking me to change my habit, but I have no intention..."

"...What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't change, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in society in the future."

Yukinoshita's attitude became quite serious.

"From the perspective of others, you are far behind others socially. Don't you want to change yourself? Or do you have no ambition at all?"

"It's not like that... I just don't want others to decide whether I should change [myself]. A person can't change [myself] just because of other people's words! The so-called [self] should be..."

"You just can't look at yourself objectively. You're just escaping, but you can't move forward without changing."

……

There were two people watching the show.

"It's getting more and more interesting. I like this development the most. It's very much like Shonen Jump."

Next to Porusalino, Hiratsuka Shizuka was quite excited. She was obviously a woman, but she had the look of a teenager.

"How to say?"

"Since ancient times, when there is conflict between each other's justice, men and women have to show off. This is the tradition of shonen comics."

"Oh, is this tradition?"

Porusalino asked, turning his head.

"Yes, just like in "ONEPIECE", Aokiji and Akainu will definitely have a duel!"

On the other side, the tense conversation continued until...

"The change you are talking about is not to escape the current situation? Then who is escaping? The real non-escape means not to change, but to face it directly! Why are you unwilling to affirm your current and previous selves?"

In Porusalino's eyes, Hikigaya's [sound] and [form] began to become slightly unified at this time.

"...That won't solve the problem, and it won't save anyone."

There was an astonishing expression of anger on Yukinoshita's face, and even people who were unfamiliar with it could feel the persistence in her voice.

"You two calm down."

Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice calmed the tense atmosphere. She was smiling and looked extremely happy.

"Well, from now on you will point the way for those lost lambs and save them in your own way to prove that you are right. Who knows how to serve better? GUNDAM Fight Ready Go!"

"I do not want."

The temperature in his eyes dropped below freezing, Yukinoshita refused without hesitation, and even Hikigaya, who seemed incompatible just now, nodded in agreement.

"Damn it, is it easier to understand [Kamen Rider]..."

Biting her thumb regretfully, Hiratsuka Shizuka's thoughts took a wrong turn.

"Teacher, please stop behaving inappropriately for your age. It's very unsightly."

Yukinoshita's words made Shizuka Hiratsuka calm down immediately, and she glanced at Porusalino subconsciously. Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she coughed deliberately to cover it up.

"Hmm! In short! Only practical actions can prove your justice! I ask you to compete, you have no right to refuse!"

"Too domineering..."

Hikigaya returned to whispering.

As for Yukinoshita, she quickly fell into Hiratsuka Shizuka's aggressive tactics and agreed to join this game where the reward was for the winner to dominate the loser.

At this moment, Porusalino, who had been watching the show, finally waited for his turn.

"Excuse me."

Porusalino raised his hand and said.

"Here is a lost lamb."
