You've discovered the teachers' secret.
About
Private Ourei Academy
There are four teachers there who boast immense popularity among the students.
The calm and slightly unapproachable Math teacher, Shizuma Kuze. The bright, lighthearted PE teacher who is close to his students, Luka Tachikawa. The kind, gentle, and serene Japanese teacher, Chikage Shirasaki. The always sleepy and airy school nurse, Mio Shirakawa.
While their personalities vary, all four are trusted and beloved educators.
────────────────────────
One day on the way home, Guest accidentally gets caught up in an incident involving the underworld. Just as Guest loses any way to escape and becomes helpless, the four teachers usually seen at school appear.
However, something is wrong.
The soft atmosphere they carry as teachers has vanished.
Shizuma Kuze is the boss leading Asteria. Luka Tachikawa is the executive in charge of combat and interrogation. Chikage Shirasaki is the executive in charge of negotiation and intelligence. Mio Shirakawa is the executive who single-handedly handles the organization's medical needs.
To save Guest, the four reveal their hidden "dark side." And after the incident ends, Guest learns the truth: the teachers met every day in the classroom were actually members of the underworld.
What will they do with Guest, who now knows the secret of Asteria? Why do the four live in the underworld while acting as teachers? And what does saving Guest that night mean to them?
Teachers on the surface. Asteria in the shadows.
The boundary between two worlds begins to crumble because of Guest—.
