When TS High School Boys Are Too Adaptable Chapter 9

If you enjoy this novel I would appreciate you rating it on NU.

 I thought I would be surrounded when we returned to the cla.s.sroom, but I was pleasantly surprised that my prediction was wrong.　

The teacher who broke up the group after the opening ceremony also came back to the cla.s.sroom with us.

She is the same teacher who came to the cla.s.sroom before the opening ceremony.

“My name is Yuuki Kawabuchi. I teach j.a.panese language and will be your homeroom teacher.” (Kawabuchi)

However, this is an uncommon situation.

It is unexpected that I became a girl. No, I should say rare, an unusual animal.

 [Sighs] I am getting tired. I shouldn’t have come to school today.

“We don’t change cla.s.srooms in this school, so everyone knows everyone here, but I don’t know everyone.” (Kawabuchi)

That's right, we don't know this teacher!

Last year’s j.a.panese language teacher was a different person.

"Personally, I'd like everyone to introduce yourselves, but I’ll let it go.” (Kawabuchi)

Oh, my. That would be great. How could I introduce myself in this situation?

“Ehhhh???” (Cla.s.s)

When the teacher says that, everyone raises a word of complaint and turn to look at me.

It's embarra.s.sing if you look at me so much. Really, I'm a bit scared.

No, please forgive me. I don’t need this grief.

Although, I understand how and why this is happening.

“I’m going to do roll call now. Everyone please respond as your name is called.” (Kawabuchi)

Oh. Somehow, this still isn’t good for me.

Well, how about a cheerful h.e.l.lo? It’s only a h.e.l.lo. Take heart Kei.

“Keiichi Igarashi” (Kawabuchi)

“I’m the first one?” (Kei)

Unexpectedly, I stood up when my name is called, before I could prepare myself.

I was! I was the first called! Why was I born an Igarashi!

“Igarashi isn’t that okay?” (Kawabuchi)

The teacher asks doubtfully. I start thinking again and reply.

“Yes, I’m Keiichi Igarashi. I’m 16 years old.” (Kei)

“Well… Igarashi, you lined up with the boys didn’t you?” (Kawabuchi)

Apparently, I had been seen. Oh yeah. When men and women are alternately lined up, three women in a row is rather noticeable.

I just stood where I normally would as usual.

“Yes, I did.” (Kei)

I just confirm it; since there is NO way I could deny it.

“Umm, well, no matter where I looked, I only saw girls. Is that okay?” (Kei)

The words came out in a snarl.

What did I mean with that? I don’t want to nod!

I don't know what to say! What should I do?

“I think it’s okay.” (Kaori)

I heard a voice from the front, while I was in anguish.

Hey! Whom are you talking to?

“You are?” (Kawabuchi)

“Kaori Manabe, a friend of Keiichi.” (Kaori)

You! What are you doing?! What? Do you know what this means? What’s happening?

“Yes, I understand.” (Kawabuchi)

Why does she have such a gentle expression? Did I hear ‘Was it painful?’ Stop it!

     (TN: I believe ‘was it painful’ is a reference to him getting a s.e.x change operation.)

It's not like that! I woke up like this!

“Rest a.s.sured; this school is considerate in these matters.” (Kawabuchi)

No, not at all! This misunderstanding will only get worse!

I hold my head, trying to think of a way to stop this, but I can’t come up with any good ideas. 

“I think there were special cla.s.ses for the 1st years, do you remember?” (Kawabuchi)

Special cla.s.ses teach morality. The teachers will say that they are kind to students with special circ.u.mstances.

However, no student here believes it.

I was nearly 180 cm tall and I lost 30 cm of that. I’m now a different person. 

“So Igarashi-kun… No, Igarashi-san is safe as well.” (Kawabuchi)

The teacher smiles at me, but I’m not at ease at all. How could I be?

It’s not just because the misunderstanding that 'I really wanted to be a girl' will spread.

“To tell the truth, I’m the same as you. So, if you have something you do not understand, ask me anything.” (Kawabuchi)

She is speaking slowly and carefully to me.

You are?

What are you talking about? The same as me? What do you mean?

Huh? From a man to a woman?

“WHAT?!?!?!?!” (Cla.s.s)

Everyone erupts, at the teacher coming-out in the cla.s.sroom.
