"What?!"

Everyone opened their eyes wide when they heard Sawako's request. 

"What do you, Sawa-chan?" 

"Why did you suddenly ask this wolf to become your boyfriend?" 

'Oi!' Yuuki wasn't sure who had said that, but he felt hurt. 

"Are you sick?" 

"Is there a meteorite going to drop on the earth tomorrow?!" 

"What's going on?!" 

The members of Houkagou Tea Time clamored together asking a lot of questions. 

Sawako suddenly realized the mistake on her request and her face turned red. 

"Everyone, calm down!" Yukari clapped her hands while shouting.

"...." 

Everyone shut their mouths when they heard Yukari's voice. 

"Sawako-sensei, can you explain to us, why do you want this big bad wolf to become your boyfriend?" Yukari asked. 

Yuuki felt that sometimes in the future his name would change into a "bastard" or "big bad wolf". He wanted to refute it, but he knew that it was hard with his reputation and the fact itself. 

Yukari looked at Yuuki and really wondered how many girls he would have in the future. She sighed, but she couldn't stop him, especially when she knew how hard it was to fight him in the night battle. She had worked hard together with Uomi yet she kept being defeated mercilessly by him alone. She knew that her fiancee was a humanoid bulldozer who was able to defeat a lot of women easily. 

Yuuki didn't know what Yukari was thinking, but if he knew that he would cough in blood when he knew about it. 

"M - My mistake! L - Let me retry it." Sawako took a deep breath since she was a bit nervous then said, "Yuuki, I want you to become my fake boyfriend." 

"..." 

Their mouths opened wide and became "O" shape when they heard Sawako's request again.

"Fake boyfriend?!" 

"Why?" Mio asked with a hurried expression. She wanted to ask why her teacher suddenly wanted to ask Yuuki to become her fake boyfriend. 

"W - Well... The story is quite long," Sawako said nervously. 

"We have a lot of time!" 

Everyone said at the same time and even Azusa who had been eager to practice was also curious. Though, they also sighed in relief when they heard Sawako's request to ask him to become her fake boyfriend. They weren't sure why, but they felt relief at this moment. 

Azusa was wondering whether she had entered the den of a wild beast and she was a rabbit that would be eaten sooner or later. She looked at Yuuki curiously. 

"Hmm?" Yuuki felt that Azusa was looking at him. 

"!!!" Azusa hurriedly turned her head in embarrassment and her face had turned red. 

"Hmm? Azunyan, are you sick?" Yui asked. 

"I - I am alright! More importantly, how about Sawako-sensei? Tell us why you want Yuuki-senpai to become your fake boyfriend?" Azusa asked.

"Sigh..." Sawako had a long sigh then said, "Then, I'll start my story." 

They nodded and waited to hear Sawako's story. 

Sawako started to tell them about how she suddenly needed Yuuki to become her boyfriend. She had met her old friends during her high school time then they started to talk to each other then their conversation started to change into that one of her friends would marry. Then her friends started to ask her whether she had a boyfriend or not. "Then I told them that I have a boyfriend and they asked him to show my boyfriend to them." 

"........" 

"So it's your own fault?" Yukari asked. 

"Yes! But I need him to become my boyfriend!" Sawako said. 

"Don't you have other male friends?" Mio asked. 

Tears started to roll down from Sawako's eyes and she sobbed in sadness. "I don't have one! I have always been eager as a teacher and I don't have any close relationship with any opposite gender besides the old teacher in the school! UWAAAAA!!!" She started to bawl and cried loudly. 

Everyone who saw Sawako at this moment couldn't help but think that she was really pitiful. 

Yukari looked at Yuuki and said, "Are you alright to become Sawako's boyfriend?" 

"Well, if I can help her, why not?" Yuuki said. 

"Really?" Sawako seemed a bit excited when Yuuki agreed with her request. 

Yuuki nodded and said, "Yes, I don't mind. So when is the date?" 

"Tomorrow," Sawako said. 

"......" Yuuki twitched his lips when he heard it. 

Sawako who saw Yuuki's expression started to become worried and asked, "Is there something wrong?" 

"Hmm, Sawako-sensei, do you have an experience to date someone?" Yuuki asked. 

"....." Sawako didn't answer him for a while then said, "No." She was afraid for him to mock her only when she heard an unexpected answer. 

"Really? Then I am really happy to become your first," Yuuki said with a smile. 

"Hmmm...." Sawako blushed and nodded slowly. 

"But the date is a bit in a rush, we need to pretend to date to each other, but you have never had a date with someone, right?" Yuuki said. 

Sawako realized her mistake and asked, "So what should we do?" 

Yuuki thought for a while and said, "What time is the meeting?" 

"Seven at night," Sawako said. 

"Then, let's have a dating practice at noon then we can continue to meet your friends later," Yuuki said. 

Sawako blinked her eyes and asked, "Is that alright?" 

"Yes, we have to do it or else your friends might doubt our relationship," Yuuki said smoothly. 

"T - Then, let's meet again tomorrow at noon," Sawako said. 

"Yes, let's meet," Yuuki said then he realized that everyone stared at him. "Is there something on my face?" 

"......" Everyone stared at Yuuki for a full five seconds then shook their heads at the same time. They had decided to follow them to see whether this fake plan was successful or not. 

"Yuuki, I think that you can open another business," Yukari said.

"What business?" Yuuki asked. 

"Fake boyfriend business," Yukari said. 

"......." Yuuki wasn't sure whether Yukari was teasing him or she honestly told him to sell himself to a lonely girl.
