Hara sat in a booth at Matsuraiken, Yada and Kurahashi on either side of her. The arrival of two new patrons was marked by the jingle of a bell.
Yada waved. Kurahashi stood and spoke. "Hey Mr. Karasuma! Hey Professor Bitch!"
Professor Bitch covered the distance between herself and her former student in seconds, hand on her pupil's mouth before she had time to react.
"Don't call me by that name so loudly!"
Karasuma arrived behind his wife.
"We haven't seen you in a while. How's it been?"
The Karasumas took a seat.
"I'm just cruising at my current job. Waiting for the guy of my dreams to show up and all."
"That's good for you Hara. What about you, Yada?"
"I recently got a job in the business sector with a really good insurance package! The pay's not bad either."
"And Kurahashi?"
"I'm leading regular nature walks on the Class E mountain. Actually, it brings in some pretty good money. But enough about us. What about you guys?"
Professor Bitch leaned in. "Can you keep a secret?"
The three girls nodded, excited and heavily intrigued.
"I'm pregnant!"
The three girls squealed. Hara slipped out her phone.
[Hara] I can buy you guys four to six hours
[Isogai] What!? How?
[Hara] I have my ways. Get the job done.
Hara looked up. "Say, Professor Bitch. You gone shopping for baby things yet?"
The Karasumas returned home several hours later, heavily laden with shopping bags and boxes packed full of baby 'essentials.'
