"First year, Karuizawa Kei, uh... actually it's not a very serious problem, it's just that I'm on my period..."
Karuizawa Kei, with her high ponytail, looked at this gentle-looking mature woman who was unexpectedly strict, and even insisted on checking and registering, instead of just letting her lie on the bed by saying she wasn't feeling well to avoid the body measurement where skin might be exposed. She immediately put on a bitter expression and whispered.

"This doesn't affect the body check, right?", Mikado Ryoko put down her pen when she heard that, and looked up and down at this rather unfamiliar-faced Karuizawa Kei.
Not a demi-human, just a normal person, probably a student recently transferred from the Advanced Nurturing High School.
There's an injury on her abdomen, was it for vanity or some other reason that she claimed to feel unwell to avoid the body measurement?
"This...", Seeing that Mikado Ryoko wasn't so easy to fool, Karuizawa Kei immediately showed an embarrassed expression, stammering and not knowing what to say.
If she downplayed it, she wouldn't get past the check, but if she exaggerated it, she'd have to undergo an examination and they'd find out about the injury on her abdomen.
She was just assigned to this school not long ago and still didn't know what kind of reputation this teacher had.
If she turned out to be a gossip and liked to spread rumors, she would be screwed.
"Alright then, if you don't want to say it, then don't. The body check isn't anything big. You can report your physical data to me afterward too," Mikado Ryoko saw Karuizawa Kei's flustered and helpless look, waved her hand, and moved her gaze from Kei's abdomen to her face, smiling meaningfully.
"But are you sure you're really unwell and want to lie down on the bed with that girl?"
"Huh?", Karuizawa Kei had no idea what Mikado Ryoko meant and looked at her blankly.
Although there weren't many beds in the nurse's office, it's not like there's only one. Did lying down really require qualifications?
No way they had to pay, right? This was a school, not a hospital.
"Behind that bed curtain lies a demon. Once you open it, you must bear the consequences," Mikado Ryoko didn't lower her voice and said it clearly while smiling at the curtain next to her.
The last time Ichinose Ayano came to the nurse's office, the culprit was undoubtedly that Hachiman who often went to the student guidance office with the Elf Princess. Now that Hikigaya dared to come again, she had to give him a proper warning.
Her nurse's office wasn't the student guidance office. She couldn't let that guy keep bringing different girls in to hook up.
"Sensei, don't scare me. How could there be something like a demon in the nurse's office?", Karuizawa Kei couldn't help but feel a little scared upon seeing the strange smile on Mikado Ryoko's face.
"Who knows? Elves have already appeared in this world. If some aliens or demons showed up too, it wouldn't be that surprising, right?", Mikado Ryoko smiled slightly. Even the legendary Princess of Deviluke had descended here, so having more strange people crash in wasn't that unusual.
After all, the first princess of Deviluke was the daughter of the Galactic Emperor who had ended the galactic wars singlehandedly. His mighty figure surrounded by golden flames was the object of countless people's admiration and loyalty.
But ever since the galactic war ended, it was the Galactic Emperor's wife, the last descendant of the Charmians, who truly took care of political affairs. The Galactic Emperor himself was rarely seen, occasionally appearing on planets where unrest was brewing.
Otherwise, how could the first princess of Deviluke be pursued by so many different races throughout the universe? If she took a liking to someone, they would inherit the governance over the entire galaxy in the future.
However, perhaps due to the bizarre variety of species across the universe, the princess of Deviluke couldn't take it anymore and ran to a remote entertainment planet. When Mikado Ryoko saw her this morning, she almost thought she was hallucinating.
Gulp!
Watching Mikado Ryoko's gaze drift as she fell into wild thoughts, her smile gradually turning indulgent, Karuizawa Kei gulped with difficulty. Why did it feel like Mikado Ryoko was the actual demon?
Maybe she should just hide in the bathroom for a bit. Since Mikado had already agreed, she could wait until everyone finished the check and left, then come back and make up an excuse that she had completed the check with another class.
"Ichinose class rep, you're also in Sobu High? I thought you got transferred to another school."
"Ahaha… I didn't expect to be assigned to Sobu High too, but in a different class. How are things for you now, Shiromi?"
"Things are fine, except for the fact that you're not in the same class anymore. Though there are a lot of students in Class D, Kushida-san is just as gentle and caring as you, Ichinose-san, and Shiina from Class C is here too."
Just as Karuizawa Kei was planning to hide in the bathroom, she suddenly heard familiar voices approaching from outside the nurse's office. Her expression tensed, and she quickly lifted the curtain and hid inside.
"Hmm? Hehehe."
Mikado Ryoko blinked. Seeing Karuizawa Kei ignore her warning and choose to face the "demon" behind the curtain, she also chose to ignore the startled cry from behind it. She got up and went to the nurse's office entrance to line up the girls for their physical checkups one by one.
After recording the body data, they could go to the adjacent gymnasium for sit-and-reach, high jump, and other tests.
Anyway, there was a whole day for physical measurements. The longer they dragged it out, the fewer classes they had to attend.
Now that the students from the dissolved Advanced Nurturing High School had been transferred, they just happened to catch the school-wide body check. Otherwise, they'd have to make time to come do it separately.
It was convenient for the transferred students, but it had greatly increased her workload. Even though the boys were doing their checks in the nurse's office on the other side of campus, she had to work all day, except for breaks between classes, completely different from her usual idle pace.
Maybe it was time to request an assistant. She could have them handle the physical chores while she only needed to supervise.
As that thought flashed by, Mikado Ryoko finished up with another student and called out the next name from the list.
"Next, Kushida Kikyo."
A cute, busty girl with short brown hair walked in with a cheerful smile on her face.

"Um... Mikado-sensei, do you happen to know where Karuizawa-san from our class is? She seemed unwell and didn't come with us. Did she stop by the nurse's office?", Kushida Kikyo stood by the height measuring station, glancing at the drawn curtain while asking casually in a low voice.
As a social expert, she naturally paid attention to everyone's movements.
Ever since it was announced that there would be body measurements, Karuizawa Kei had been acting a bit off, even asking if she could skip it due to illness. Now that everyone had changed and come for the check, Kei was nowhere to be seen. Even her friends like Sato Maya didn't know where she had gone.
Her instincts told her something was off.
"Karuizawa Kei, right? She came by earlier. I gave her some medicine and she left," Mikado Ryoko nodded nonchalantly at Kushida Kikyo's inquiry.
Since Karuizawa Kei hadn't come out, it meant she decided to keep hiding. Mikado had no intention of exposing her and getting someone to drag her out, increasing her workload.
"Medicine? Was Karuizawa-san feeling unwell?", Kushida Kikyo blinked and stepped onto the scale, curiously looking at Mikado Ryoko.
"That's a girl's privacy issue, you know? Just like you wouldn't want your weight shared with other girls, right?", Mikado Ryoko noted Kikyo's weight and smiled at her curious classmate's expression.
"Ugh... Sorry, I just wanted to see if I could help Karuizawa-san."
Kushida Kikyo pursed her lips, a little frustrated seeing that her weight was slightly over expectations.
Honestly, she wasn't particularly concerned about what happened to Karuizawa Kei, just asking out of reflex. Even being forced to transfer to Sobu High after the dissolution of Advanced Nurturing High didn't bother her much.
Someone powerful had promised them graduation jobs. As long as their grades met the threshold, they could get a spot. She wasn't the top of the class, but still ranked above average and wouldn't be left out.
Even if her family wasn't close to her, she could make do with part-time jobs and scholarships to get through the next three years. After graduation, she'd be independent.
What she hadn't expected, though, was that even after students were scattered across schools, it felt like someone purposely placed all the girls from Class D here, including Horikita Suzune, who went to the same junior high and might know her dark past.
Seeing Horikita Suzune in her new class again had triggered Kikyo to stress-eat. The weight gain had come fast. If only school systems processed things this fast, she wouldn't have to carve out time just to maintain her grades.
"Next, Horikita Suzune."
Mikado Ryoko looked at the departing Kikyo and smiled, then continued calling names from the list.
A long black-haired girl with a cold, aloof aura, like Yukinoshita Yukino but with a completely different body type, passed by Kikyo without looking and walked in expressionlessly.

[Outside the Nurse's Office]
Ichinose Honami, who had been worried that Hachiman hadn't left, relaxed upon seeing everything proceeding smoothly with no trouble.
What was she thinking? Hikigaya knew girls would come in for checks after class and would've left early to avoid awkwardness.
If he hadn't, people would misunderstand him as a peeping tom.
"Ichinose-class rep, how are things in Class 1-F? Have you made any new friends?", Standing next to her, Shiranami Chihiro, wearing white thigh-highs, looked excited to see the class rep she thought she'd never meet again.
Even though they hadn't spent much time together, she still thought Ichinose was a great person, even better than Kushida Kikyo.
"I told you to just call me Ichinose. I'm not a class rep anymore."
Looking at her former admirer from Advanced Nurturing, Ichinose Honami smiled helplessly, looked toward the nurse's office, and sighed sentimentally.
"I'm doing fine in Class F. Everyone's very friendly and easy to get along with."
"Though it can be a bit troublesome at times..."
They were warm and welcoming, but sometimes too much so—treating her like one of their own too quickly.
She hadn't been there long, but Gabriel was already trying to matchmake her with Hikigaya, while Shirasaki Yuna and the others tried to pair Gabriel with him.
She'd even been pulled into their schemes to pressure Gabriel into matchmaking for her. Later, at Hikigaya's house, she was dragged by Ijichi Nijika into siding with Miura Yumiko.
She had come to get closer to Hikigaya, but somehow got entangled in a weird love mess.
Thankfully, Gabriel didn't come today, or else she wouldn't know whether to side with Ijichi Nijika and Miura Yumiko, or Yuina and Gabriel...
———
"...Mikado-sensei, do you happen to know where Karuizawa-san from our class is? She seemed unwell and didn't come with us. Did she stop by the nurse's office?"
"Karuizawa Kei, right?"
"She came by earlier. I gave her some medicine and she left."
Karuizawa Kei, hearing that Kikyo had actually asked about her, panicked, but relaxed once she heard Mikado say she had left.
This teacher's nice, didn't expose her and even covered for her.
"Phew~"
Just as Kei was about to relax, she looked back at the bed inside the curtain and immediately tensed up again, covering her mouth, staring in shock at the man and woman on the bed.
A beautiful girl with a princess braid was also covering her mouth, eyes locked with Kei's, her flawless face flushed red.
The boy didn't seem surprised to see her and continued lounging against the pillow casually.
'W-What are they doing?'
'Isn't there supposed to be a sick girl here? This is sick?'
Kei stared in horror at Ichinose Ayano, whose face was flushed unnaturally but whose movements didn't stop.
She never expected to see this behind the curtain. No wonder Mikado said there was a demon behind it...
Mikado knows and still lets them do this?
But she couldn't run now. If she left, not only would she be forced into the checkup with the other girls, but the two here might also be exposed, and if that happened, they'd probably make her life miserable afterward.
"Karuizawa Kei, right? Come here."
The boy suddenly spoke her name without lowering his voice, and Kei looked at him in disbelief. She was already pretending to see nothing, just waiting it out, why would he call out to her? What if someone heard?
"Relax, no one outside can hear us. Even if they open the curtain, they won't see us," As if reading her mind, Hachiman smiled and explained calmly.
The "Love Live Mode" was the most hidden, but could only be used with girls close to him. Naturally, he had to learn other magic for support.
Most of his time was spent assisting Iris and the others, so he only had a bit of time for study. But thanks to the empathy bracelet, he easily mastered her techniques, soundproofing magic, invisibility, even minor spells quickly became second nature with enough practice.
Teleportation was also useful, but not as urgent. He already had teleportation from the love interest list, so he didn't rush it.
He originally planned to look for Gabriel to confirm if she had truly fallen, skipping class like him, but seeing Ayano exhausted yet obedient, he decided to nurture her a bit before she ended up hospitalized.
Gabriel was an angel; she wouldn't be in danger. If she had really fallen, he could see it at night, and maybe even visit her room under the guise of caring...
Although it seemed Mikado Ryoko had guessed he intended to stay here, sending Kei in to interrupt.
But if the interrupter wasn't someone easy to control like Kei, who had also experienced bullying like Bocchi, he wouldn't have let her see him and Ayano. Once Love Live Mode was activated, they entered a special space, even Gabriel couldn't spy.
"Ugh..."
Kei still didn't know Hikigaya already knew her past, perhaps better than she did. All she knew was that he seemed to be telling the truth.
He said her name loud enough for others to hear in a quiet nurse's office.
