Hina

Oh, Sensei. I'm here at Schale.

...Yes. There were a lot of kids causing trouble today. Chasing after them left me parched, so I'm going to buy a drink before heading up.

Would you like one too, Sensei?

...Haha. I had a feeling you'd say that.

Got it. I'll be up soon. I look forward to my Student Rep duties today.

Sora

Two bottles of energy drinks and one can of coffee? That will be 420 yen.

Hina

Okay. Do you take card?

...Thank you. Oh, I don't need a bag. I'll be drinking them right away.

Sora

(How suspicious...)

Kazusa

Ah, Sensei. Did you order your Christmas cake yet?

...Huh? You didn't get a cake? Are you planning on eating chicken, then?

...You're gonna be too busy for a proper Christmas dinner? That's sad.

Sensei, I just sent you an address on MomoTalk. It's a sliced cake shop that specializes in delivery. I tried it last time, and it's pretty good.

No matter how busy you are, you can find time for one sweet dessert, right? It's Christmas.

Sora

One dacquoise, two puddings, and one chocolate log cake?

Kazusa

Ah, sorry. Hold on. Lemme add a milk, too.

Sora

Your total is 780 yen. Do you need a bag?

Kazusa

Yes, please. Thanks!

Sora

(No matter how I look at it...)

Yuuka

Sen! Sei! What is this receipt?!

Don't play dumb with me! I found a receipt for a toy robot mixed in with the expenses you submitted to Seminar yesterday!

I haven't forgotten the video game receipt you snuck in last time too!

Huh? It was a Christmas gift for yourself?

What does that have to do with the expense report?! That's a personal expense!

...That does it. I'm going up right now and checking your account books. Don't move a muscle!

Sora

Um... That's 30 rounds of 9mm pistol ammo and one speed loader?

Yuuka

Ah, sorry. I'm causing such a ruckus.

Yes. That's all I need. The total is 1,810 yen, right?

Sora

Yes. Do you need a ba...

...She's gone.

(It's suspicious...!)

Ten of our customers today were students visiting Schale.

If I count those that didn't stop by the convenience store, there must be at least twenty students visiting!

I understand those with Student Rep duties come to help Sensei, but visiting Schale when they're not scheduled... It's suspicious.

Rumor has it, Schale's Sensei is a kind adult who listens to students' concerns and will never abandon someone in need.

But on the other hand, there are also terrifying rumors of Sensei swimming naked in the pool, and even of them licking students' feet...

Considering all of Sensei's suspicious activity, why do students still come to see them?

...Maybe Schale's Sensei is using some dirty method to seduce students.

Schale has all kinds of strange things, maybe they have some kind of hypnosis device that can control people's minds...

Your choice

"What hypnosis device?"

Sora

S-Sensei?! When did you get here?

W-Welcome to Angel 24!

Your choice

"Hello, Sora."

"What are you thinking about?"

Sora

I-It's nothing! Just some rumors that have been circulating social media...

I-It's nothing! Just some rumors that have been circulating social media...

Your choice

"There are a lot of fun rumors on social media."

"But there are also fake ones, so don't trust everything you see."

Sora

U-Understood! I'll be careful.

U-Understood! I'll be careful.

Sensei

"Anyway, you look busy these days."

Sora

Yes. Especially this week. It's been a little chaotic.

...It's Christmas, and then the end of the year, so people tend to buy more cakes and snacks, like chicken tendies.

Your choice

"Yeah, I can't believe the year's almost over."

Sora

Sensei, you're getting one mint gum and one lemon jelly?

There's a special promotion for this lemon jelly, so you get one vitamin drink if you purchase it. Let me get it for you.

Your choice

"You can have it, Sora."

Sora

H-Huh? Me...?

Your choice

"Yes. You take it, since you worked hard today, Sora."

"We work in the same building, we should help each other out."

Sora

Ah, yes... Th-Thank you.

Ah, yes... Th-Thank you.

(...As I thought. Sensei is a suspicious adult, but...)

Um, Sensei, I actually wanted to ask you some...

Citizen

Um, excuse me, do you have any of the Frenzy MAX Coffees left?

Sora

H-Huh? Frenzy MAX Coffee...?

I think we do... Let me go check the back...

Sensei

"Go on. Customers come first."

Sora

Yes...! Th-Then excuse me!

After that, Angel 24 proceeded to have a neverending stream of customers.

Sora

*sigh*... I can finally take a break.

What a hard day. I can't remember the last time I was so busy that I couldn't even clean the store.

I never got to ask Sensei why so many students visit them.

Well, that's a problem for later. I'll just get to cleaning for now.

Always delivering happiness! Happy, happy Angel 24! ♪

Huh? This is...

...a gift? Who left this here?

Maybe it was one of the students that came to visit Sensei?

I'll just put up a "Lost Item" notice at the front of the store...

...No. That could cause a huge incident.

Most students of Kivotos have feelings towards Sensei in one way or another. If all of them were to learn about this expression of affection from another student...

I-Imagine if that student was someone in a position of power at one of the academies! It...It could even lead to war!

Wh-What should I do, then...? I can't just pretend I never saw it... And it was left in a blind spot in the CCTV system, so I don't know how to figure out whose it was.

I'll just have to ask them one by one.

I can somewhat remember the faces of the students who visited the store today. I'll just investigate them subtly, so no one else finds out.

For the peace of Kivotos, I have to find the owner of this gift!
