Kakegurui: Ten Consecutive Guaranteed Hits

Volume 1 Chapter 2: Unqualified Teacher

After Kiyohei's condition improved somewhat, thanks to the excuse of "amnesia," his indulgent father specifically found him a private tutor.

The tutor was a female graduate student majoring in education, a gentle older sister with a quiet appearance and glasses.

In her spare time between classes, she would come to the hospital to teach Kiyohei basic Japanese reading and writing, as well as general knowledge that even elementary school students knew.

This actually did Kiyohei a great favor, allowing him to study Japanese from scratch with a clear conscience.

Perhaps due to being a transmigrator, or perhaps because this body itself has excellent qualities.

Kiyohei discovered that his focus and memory processing were outstanding, much better than when he would doze off during early morning classes in his past life.

Of course, there's also the possibility that after lying in bed for about ten days, he couldn't fall asleep due to boredom.

The teacher sat by his bedside, holding a tablet, patiently teaching Kiyohei with the well-prepared teaching materials.

Her explanations were simple and easy to understand, coupled with the assistance of his memories from his previous life, allowing Kiyohei to quickly absorb knowledge.

In just over a week, Kiyohei had gradually adapted to his current state and was able to clumsily use common Japanese for everyday communication.

After another week of recuperation in the hospital, his physical functions began to recover.

After confirming that there were no lingering effects in the hospital, Kiyohei was finally discharged. From then on, he only needed to come to the hospital for a full-body check-up every two weeks.

Due to Kiyohei amnesia, he couldn't return to elementary school. So, after discussing with the female private tutor, Kiyohei offered her an additional proposition that satisfied her. He signed an internship contract with her.

She would live in their home, taking care of Kiyohei daily life and providing academic guidance, while Kiyotaka and Atsuomi would live elsewhere and only return for a day or two at the end of each month.

And so... Kiyohei alone time with the private tutor began.

The tutor was very responsible and treated ten-year-old Kiyohei Ayanokoji like her own little brother, taking care of him meticulously.

She cooked for him every day and patiently answered all the questions Kiyohei had after coming home from school. She taught him about common knowledge in this world...

At first, Kiyohei was not used to her presence. After all, he had lived alone in his past life, accustomed to being independent and having many bad habits:

He never folded the blankets, disliked eating breakfast, didn't enjoy cleaning, would only throw out the trash when the bin was full, piled up socks and underwear before thinking of washing them, and kept a roll of toilet paper by the bedside...

These habits had been ingrained for a long time and were not easy to change. However, under the tutor's careful guidance, Kiyohei gradually corrected these bad habits.

Living and eating together, spending their days and nights together, Kiyohei gradually became accustomed to her presence and started relying on her.

She treated Kiyohei like a child and didn't mind getting close to him. They would often play and frolic together, even without hesitation during bath time...

Even though Kiyohei tried to restrain himself, he couldn't help but see things he shouldn't have seen, unintentionally developing some worldly desires.

While it made him blush, it also relieved him. His biggest concern was answered—

His physical development was perfectly healthy, his bodily functions were normal, and he was completely unaffected.

The female tutor saw Kiyohei as a child to take care of, but as someone of similar age to her from his past life, Kiyohei naturally didn't see her as a teacher but as a peer, a woman of the same age.

When she revealed that gentle smile, it would always make Kiyohei's heart skip a beat.

In this unfamiliar world, having such a gentle woman show you kindness, spending every day and night with you, talking and laughing, patiently teaching you various knowledge... Anyone would let down their guard and be moved.

Along with his gratitude, Kiyohei naturally developed feelings for this gentle woman with beautiful black hair.

This could be considered his first love in both of his lifetimes. However, due to various circumstances, he didn't confess his feelings but instead kept them hidden in his heart.

They continued to live together, and two years passed like that. When the graduate student private tutor completed her studies, the day of separation finally arrived.

As she graduated from her graduate program and was about to start her internship at a high school, she could no longer stay there. Therefore, she decided to resign from her well-paying job.

On the evening before her departure, Kiyohei couldn't hold back any longer and confessed to his teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Miss Shizuka, I like you. Please stay and be my girlfriend!"

Kiyohei looked at the young woman sitting across from him with her long black straight hair and wearing a brown sweater. She stopped packing her things and looked at him in surprise.

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't expect that her student would confess to her at this moment.

Of course, she didn't take Kiyohei's words of wanting her to be his girlfriend seriously. In her eyes, it was just a silly remark from a child who didn't want to be separated from her .

She forced a smile and gently patted Kiyohei's head. "Kiyohei, teacher likes you too. But I'm sorry, the teacher really has to go. You're a good student, and there's nothing more for me to teach you left, you need to find a better teacher."

"There's no better teacher than Teacher Hiratsuka!" Kiyohei wanted to fight for it. He held her hand and put on a pitiful expression. "Teacher, I really don't want to leave you. Please stay..."

After living together for so long, Kiyohei knew Hiratsuka Shizuka's character very well. As long as he showed this expression, she would waver, sigh helplessly, and then comfort him by holding him in her arms.

After two years in this world, Kiyohei had learned to take advantage of being a child.

"If it's because you think Dad doesn't give me enough money, I can go earn money. I beg you, please don't go..." Kiyohei pleaded with a mournful face.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Kiyohei, his face on the verge of tears, and felt a pain in her heart. She pulled him into her embrace.

"Kiyohei, let me think about it."

She took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision. She replied softly.

After a moment, she let go of Kiyohei, picked up her phone from the sofa, and staggered back to her room, seeming exhausted.

Woohoo, takeoff~~!

Teacher Hiratsuka agreed to stay!

Kiyohei knew that she couldn't directly agree to be his girlfriend, but as long as she stayed, there was still hope.

Even French President Macron could get his teacher to agree to marry him, proving that age is not a problem!

Kiyohei couldn't help but cheer. After a long while, his excitement subsided, and he went back to his room and slept peacefully, dreaming of future scenes of dating and living with Teacher Hiratsuka.

In his dream, he had even chosen names for the two children they would have together.

However, Teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka did not stay.

Before Kiyohei woke up the next morning, she packed her things and left the house.

When Kiyohei woke up the next day, the two-story villa in the wealthy area of Tokyo had become empty once again, leaving only him alone and a lonely breakfast on the table.

"...Sigh, so much for the nice words, she really left."

Kiyohei stared blankly at the cold room, chuckled self-deprecatingly, walked to the table, and hopped onto a chair. Silently, he picked up the spoon and started eating his breakfast.

His first love had come to an abrupt end like this.

In his second life, this was the first time he experienced the feeling of heartbreak.

And he was only twelve years old at the time.
