Lesson 6
Weak and Wimpy Blackmail
I wonder if there're any Class President
duties I need to attend to
today after school.
There's something in here.
I have something to discuss with you
regarding your relationship with
Hiwamura-sensei.
Come to the empty classroom in
Building 3 after school.
You're here. Abikura-kun, wasn't it?
I am Kaya Kuguri, a third year.
I happened to see you while you were at the pool yesterday.
I wonder what would happen
if this photograph happened to spread around the school?
Are you trying to blackmail me?
If you plan to cause trouble for Sensei
by spreading groundless rumors, I won't let you.
That's right.
We haven't done anything to feel guilty about... I think.
But if a photo like that spread around the school,
she probably wouldn't be able to teach anymore.
Or at the very least,
she'd get reassigned to a different school,
and her students would all be scared of her again.
I can't let that happen.
Will you say the same once you see this?
Flinch
S-Sensei?!
A-A-A-Abikura-kun?!
G-Gym shorts?!
This is the first time I've ever seen any in person!
Wonderful!
Snap
Her expression now is totally different
from when I was taking photos of her alone earlier!
I thought it was strange that no matter what I did,
I couldn't capture the same aura from the pool that made me so taken with her.
She only sparkles when YOU'RE with her!
Wha?!
What do you mean?
I should apologize, Abikura-kun!
I wasn't planning to blackmail you at all.
A blurry snapshot like this would hardly prove anything, now, would it?
In fact, I have a simple request to make of you.
I want you to assist me in taking photos that capture Hiwamura-sensei's eroticism!
Great, a new variety of pervert to deal with...
Incidentally, when I start my Photography Club,
I'd like the two of you to become club adviser and club member, respectively.
Ph-Photography Club?!
This is no good.
There's no way I can let a weirdo like this take photos of Sensei.
Wow, a Photography Club!
That sounds wonderful!
Of course I'm okay with it!
Sensei?!
You can't!
This pervert is going to have a field day snapping weird photos of you!
Who are you calling pervert?!
But it's part of the creative process, isn't it?
I really respect people who can create art!
As a teacher, I definitely want to help!
Sh-She's a model teacher... even in gym shorts.
Indeed! My photographs are high art.
They're completely different to your
run-of-the-mill erotic photographs, Abikura-kun.
Just look at my Insta account.
You'll see that I usually take more serious photos.
You're KuguriN-san?!
You know her account?
She's a much talked about photographer on social media!
All of her photos vibe with people big time!
But I never imagined she was a student here!
So Sensei looks at social media, huh?
Why are you hiding your true identity?
If I revealed it,
I'd get people pestering me to take photos of them all the time.
I don't want to take any photos except the ones I want to take.
Dammit. I'll admit that's kinda cool.
So, you don't mind if I take a few more test shots?
Yes! Yes! That's wonderful!
But I'd like just a little more oomph.
Abikura-kun, could you try pinning her down?
What're you talking about?!
It's for the sake of art.
Sensei doesn't mind, right?
A-As long as it's part of the creative process!
I thought she wasn't going to blackmail me,
so why does it feel like I don't have a choice?
L-Like this?
That's great!
Snap
Vrrrr
Snap
Vrrrr
So, this is the kind of face she makes when you get rough with her!
Snap
Vrrrr
Snap
Vrrrr
Snap
Vrrrr
Snap
Vrrrr
What's going on here?
Snap
These are Kuguri-senpai's photos?
Wow! I look kind of... mature, don't I?
They're sexy, but they have a kind of artsy feel to them.
The old-fashioned film makes them kinda nostalgic.
These are... vibes!
Vibes!!
To be honest, I want a copy of this photo for myself!
What do you think? Want to join my club now?
And so, I ended up founding
a Photography Club with
vibing camera senpai.
a Photography Club with vibing camera senpai.
How lowbrow.
You don't understand anything about her.
Having her strip doesn't instantly make it a good photo, you know?
It makes it more erotic!
But what would you know?! You've only just met Hiwamura!
B-Both of you!
Please stop fighting!
This isn't looking good!
I figured Yukishita might be a good addition to the club,
but she's just arguing with Senpai
about whether it's better to get Sensei to strip or not.
I didn't think things would end up like this.
Okay, let's have a competition.
We'll each have three days to take portraits of Sensei.
Then, we'll show each other our best photo.
If I win, I'll have you be the Photography Club's maidservant.
And if I win,
you'll have to do one lap around the school
wearing a sexy cosplay of my choosing!
All right. You two are gonna help me!
I'm gonna take a photo so erotic that it'll leave that snob speechless!
How did things end up like this?
It hurt my feelings...
when that ignoramus said I didn't understand anything about you.
Even though I've known you longer!
Squeeze
Twitch
Squeeze
Are you really gonna go through with this?
It seems like she's a pretty popular photographer on social media.
Yeah, Hiwamura told me.
But I'm gonna teach her that internet likes aren't everything!
They seem pretty similar. If only they could get along.
U-Um, Abikura-kun.
Y-Yes?
I think...
Yukishita-san and Kuguri-san actually would make good friends.
I think so, too.
As her homeroom teacher,
I'd love for her to join the Photography Club and make new friends.
If both of their photos are wonderful,
they're bound to acknowledge each other and resolve their differences!
So I'm going to help them both to the best of my ability!
Oh no, I see where this is going...
I-I'm ready.
The best way to prove that taking off her clothes is more erotic
is to take nude shots!
Yep, it always turns out like this!
Are you sure you're okay with this, Sensei?
Yes! It's part of the creative process!
It's not for anything improper!
Her resolve is as strong as ever.
I-I'll stand outside and make sure nobody interrupts...
This is a classroom at the farthest end of the school
Grab
that people hardly ever come to.
That won't be necessary.
You have the all-important job of holding up the reflector!
Sketchbook being
used as a reflector
Wha?!
I can't do that. It'll make Sensei feel uncomfortable!
Besides, do we really need to be that serious about this?
Please do it, Abikura-kun.
You need to use a reflector to take a good photo!
S-Sensei...
Make sure that you shine it on the subject.
What a mess...
Ah! It's bright!
Whoa, this is great! She's irresistible!
Flash
Taking off her clothes really is more erotic, isn't it?
Don't drag me into this.
But these are just regular pictures.
To win against her, I need something more inventive!
Abikura, I'll give you some money, so go and buy what I tell you.
Okay, but why?
Balloon Ice Cream
As soft as floating on air
What is this? How are you supposed to eat it?
Refreshments? Thank you.
Oh, but when I eat ice cream, I get a sharp pain in my head...
Weak and Wimpy Sensei is even weak against brain freeze!
It's already pretty melted, so you should be fine.
I'll take photos of you eating it.
Okay...
Snip
It-It's cold!
Suck
Spurt
Lick
I'm all sticky.
This is too lewd.
I thought Kuguri-senpai was being hypocritical by complaining about nudes
when she made Sensei wear gym shorts...
But this is bottom of the barrel for sure.
Actually, eating it this way won't give me a headache.
Perhaps I should only eat it this way from now on...
Please don't.
Good! Nice and sexy!
Although, I want to get some closeups of her special bits, too.
U-Um...
I think doing poses
like this nude is a little too much.
Come on!
Raise your back a bit more!
Now, spread 'em!
What?
Spread 'em!
Okay, that's enough!
Fwsh
You're going too far, you idiot!
Besides, if we don't stop soon, she could catch a cold!
Ah, you're right! Sorry, Hiwamura.
But I got plenty of erotic shots!
With this, I'll be able to thrash that white-robed woman!
Please don't.
That's great! When I saw her before,
Snap
Today, I'm helping Kuguri-senpai with
I wanted to take some shots of
Snap
her shoot for the photo showdown.
her in a school swimsuit!
Snap
What do you think?
This is the old-fashioned school swimsuit.
I see.
So, how's it different from modern ones?
Mostly the seam on the front and whether it has the drainage flap or not.
Why does she know so much about it?
I need to teach that shrimp about the eroticism of wearing clothing!
Does a skintight swimsuit really count as clothing?!
O-Okay.
Let's take some good photos!
You can count on me, I'll... do anything to help!
Anything, you say?
Twitch
Then let's get to it!
Abikura-kun!
Could you shove your hand into the drainage flap of her swimsuit here?
Wh-What's she saying?!
It's nice how cooperative Sensei is today, but her expression is a little stiff,
so I'm thinking if you put your hand in, Abikura-kun,
she'll soften up and make the image glow!
Please do it, Abikura-kun.
Sensei!
So that she can... take a good photo!
See, Sensei thinks so, too.
Tug
Hey!
Slip
Good, good! She's softening! She's softening!
Okay! I'll take a few more,
while she's got that nice flushed expression!
Is the Photography Club going to be like this all the time?!
Photography club
And so, on the day of the photo showdown...
So you turned up, little shrimp?
I thought you might have run off somewhere!
I'd never run away!
Okay, let's put them up on the count of two!
One, two!
Whoa.
Whoa
S-School swimsuit Hiwamura! That's not fair!
But even in a school swimsuit, there's a certain charm to it.
So this is the vibe power of a viral photographer!
To be honest, I want to see the photos she didn't choose, too!
Whoa.
Whoa
Th-This is surprisingly good.
It may be crude, but it captures the theme perfectly.
To be honest, I want several copies for reference!
I suppose this is about what I'd expect from an amateur.
It's low-class and leaves nothing to the imagination.
Plus, it leaves a bad impression of the subject.
What?!
Well sure, if you put her in a school swimsuit,
she's bound to look good, dumbass!
Besides, isn't using that camera cheating?
It just makes whatever picture you take turn out good, doesn't it?!
Hey, it's harder to use than you think!
It's difficult to get the focus right, and the film's expensive!
H-Hey now.
That's enough, you two!
I didn't get naked just so that the two of you could argue!
That's a line for the history books!
Wh-Why are you fighting?!
I think you both took wonderful photos of me!
Why don't you stop arguing and acknowledge each other's skill,
then be friends so we can form a nice Photography Club?
U-Um...
Is it okay if I throw my hat in the ring, too?
Fwip
What's this?
Well, personally,
I think seeing Sensei working hard in her normal outfit
is when she's m-most charming.
You're a sneaky one, aren't you?
Showing us an innocent photo like this
instantly makes ours look unsavory, doesn't it?
No, I think they're already plenty unsavory on their own.
But, you know...
this one might be the one that represents Hiwamura best.
What do you think, Sensei?
I-I think so too.
The way I want my students to see me
is how I appear in Abikura-kun's photo.
I've been utterly defeated.
It seems that the one who sees her best is you after all, Abikura-kun.
But little shrimp, you have a knack for this.
We need four members for our Photography Club to be accepted,
so will you join us?
Taking pictures was fun and I get to hang out with Hiwamura, so I guess I will.
Wow, it all turned out all right, just like Sensei said!
Gasp
Wait!
If you look closely at this photo, you can see her bra peeking out!
Wha?!
It's not an innocent photo at all!
And you can see her curves through her clothes because of the backlight!
Th-That's just a coincidence!
So you're the type who gets off to peep shows, are you, Abikura-kun?
I see.
Don't lump me in with you two!
Hey, so, what should we do for losing the competition?
Originally, it was either "being a maidservant" or
"run a lap while wearing sexy cosplay".
I say we compromise.
Okay, so we're gonna be maidservants for the winner and wear sexy cosplay.
We're at your beck and call, Abikura-kun.
Cut it out or people will think I forced you into this!
Hey, everyone!
Yukki, I heard you're joining a club?
Gah! What is this, Pervert Club?!
The end-of-term ceremony is tomorrow, huh?
Summer's the season of love, my dudes.
So before summer break starts,
I'm gonna take the next step with my girlfriend: a kiss!
Ugh. Hope you get dumped, bro.
I wonder what the Photography Club will end up doing?
Here's what happened after the competition ended.
So it's not actually a Pervert Club?
It's a completely wholesome Photography Club.
Don't be scared.
We're just wearing these for Abikura.
Don't say it in such a misleading way!
Mukubayashi-san!
I'm so happy that you're taking an interest in Photography Club!
If Hiyorin's the adviser, I bet it'll be fun!
But I don't have a camera, though. Can I still join?
You have a smartphone, don't you?
Everyone's free to take photos of whatever they want,
however they want.
That's how I want our club to be.
Our memories may fade,
but as long as we have photos, we can remember, right?
You mean you're not in a sports club, Mukubayashi?
That a problem?
I get asked to help out a lot, but it's not really my thing.
I'll go and submit the paperwork to form the club.
I'll be in touch about the specifics of our activities later.
Senpai, wait! Your clothes!
It's already the end of the first semester, huh?
I can't shake the feeling there's more I wanted to accomplish...
A-Abikura-kun!
Thud
It's raining Senseis.
Ah! I'm sowwy!
There was a cicada shell on the tree...
so I thought I'd take a photo of it.
A photo?
Yes! I was trying to learn how to use my camera.
Now that I'm the Photography Club's adviser,
I figured I should learn more about photography.
But getting the hang of things like aperture and shutter speed is tricky.
Wh-What dedication!
To be honest, I was also waiting for you, Abikura-kun.
Here! Your perfect attendance award!
Congratulations!
P-Perfect attendance?!
I was thinking of handing out these origami medals tomorrow
to everyone who has perfect attendance,
but I thought I'd give you the prototype early as a gift.
Wow, I guess I really did never skip a day this semester...
I skipped a few times last year, although never enough to get in trouble.
But to think that I ended up being Class President
and even got a perfect attendance award...
I've totally lost the uncomplicated life I was aiming for!
And the reason I'm openly trying so hard
is all because I fell too hard for Sensei!
Of course, being absent isn't a bad thing.
But seeing you come to school every day makes me so happy, Abikura-kun!
U-Um, Sensei.
Thank you!
Because of you,
I feel like I've really improved this semester!
W-Weally?
Fank you too, Abikuwa-kun! You'b helbed me out sho much...
Please enjoy your summer break, and become a fine adult!
Sniffle
Wait, we're not going our separate ways yet, you know?
Well, it's true that once summer break starts,
I won't be able to see her, since there's no school.
We may be neighbors,
but I won't really have any reason to see her much.
This way, come on.
Huh? Why?
Hey, Sensei, we need to hide!
That's... student Number 5, Kawabe-kun, and Ito-san from Class 4, isn't it?
Oh, right.
I overheard him in the classroom earlier...
So before summer break starts,
I'm gonna take the next step with my girlfriend: a kiss!
Smooch
Ah, this is bad!
S-Sensei! Let's go back to the classroom.
Cling
Sensei?!
They k-kissed?!
And not on the cheek... but on the l-lips!
Even though they're only in high school!
I haven't done anything like that yet...
A-A-And he has his arm around her!
Asd fgh jkl...
Sensei! Don't stare at them!
Ah! A-A-Ah, I wasn't! Asdf ghkl!
Sensei!
Huff
Puff
It-It affected her that much?!
Just seeing two students kiss?!
I-I'm sowwy.
We shouldn't watch, right?
Weak and Wimpy Sensei even has a low tolerance for PDA.
I-I'm a little unsteady on my feet, so could you support me?
Wha?!
Huff
Puff
S-Support her how?!
Ba-dump
Blush
Push
What a weak push!
I-I'm sorry for startling you.
I'm okay now.
Don't worry about it.
I am kinda envious of him, though.
Being able to do that with the person he likes.
Sensei and I are teacher and student, but I wonder if
we'll be able to grow a little closer over the summer?
Oh, right.
Since it's summer break, I won't be able to see her.
If only there was some reason for us to meet up...
Oh, there you are.
Kuguri-senpai.
Having a secret rendezvous behind the school building, are we?
You should've told me.
R-Rendezvous?!
Snap
We weren't doing anything of the sort!
Well, whatever.
I came to talk to you about our club activities.
Over the summer break,
we'll be holding a photography training camp!
A t-training camp?!
