After recently playing through Shizune's route, I became curious about the art teacher...

Detour Ahead

Misha: "Hahaha~! Shicchan thinks that if the art teacher sees us, he will say hi, and she doesn't like him!"

Hisao: "Ignore him."

Shizune: "..."

Misha: "She tried, but even though Shicchan is deaf, he'll try to say 'hi~!' anyway!"

Hisao: "Run away?"

Shizune: "..."

Misha: "I never run!"

A tone of finality so strong that I can pick it up even through Misha. I can see there is no use pursuing this further with Shizune.

From here it's shown that Shizune obviously doesn't get along with the art teacher that always 'greets' her.


Shanghaied

At that moment, Shizune steps back into the room, looking slightly annoyed and sipping offhandedly from a juicebox.

Shizune: "..."

She throws two boxes of tacks on the floor with a wry smile.

Shizune: "...!"

Misha: "Ah, Shicchan."

Misha opens her mouth to speak, but then quickly closes it as Shizune suddenly crumples her juicebox with a crunch like sound of breaking bones.

Shizune: "...!"

Shizune: "..."

Shizune: "...!"

I can tell that each harsh, quaking hand gesture is most likely an epithet.

Hisao: "What's she saying?"

Misha: "It was just very hard to get these..."

Shizune: "...!"

Misha: "I guess that is an understatement, Shicchan..."

Shizune calms down a bit, straitening her glasses and lightly brushing her bangs back with one finger.

Shizune: "..."

"It really wasn't a big deal in retrospect? That's forward thinking of you!"

If we assume the tacks is considered an art supply of sort or handled largely by the art teacher... And she had 'difficulties' getting the tacks.

Theory be cliche teacher molester, going through Rin's route doesn't help improve Nomiya's seeming...

Or maybe Nomiya is just a really annoying guy...

I thought that too at first, which is what made me think I was over thinking it. Though really I probably am since I went as far as to look this up...

Creative Pain

Nomiya: "I just stopped by to remind you to not run off by yourself, tomorrow. I've invited certain people to the festival for yo, and I'm sure they'd like to meet you as well.

skip

Hisao: "So he invited some people tomorrow just to check out your painting?"

Rin: "He has a lot of art-people friends. They like to talk about art."

Rin: "I think he wants me to talk about art with them."

Hisao "Some how, I get the feeling that you aren't too thrilled about it."

Rin shrugs non commitally, but it still gives an impression of her general displeasure at the idea of having to discuss her painting, or any painting, with other people.

skip end

And that.

Clouds in my head

Rin: "Teacher's friends came by."

Rin: "Then they headed into town for lunch and asked me to go. It was a good thing my legs hurt so much."

Could also mean friends with 'similar interest'.

Or maybe he still tries to talk to Shizune even though he has been told she is deaf, and this fact just annoys her. Although your idea doesn't sound too far-fetched even if it is a little bit cliche'.

Why are you spoiler tagging dialogue from a demo that's been released for at least a year?

And yeah, you probably are overthinking the art teacher's villainy.

Way overthinking it... The dialogue you picked out only implicates what you're implicating if you're actively, very actively looking for it. Which is kind of pointless.

Foreshadowing Shizune Bad End?

Nah, your overthinking things. Nomiya is just a guy without social skills. That's all.

I hope.

Oh u

I actually just figured he was a art guy with an urge to get famous, using Rin as a stepping post to glory.

Someone has suggested that the whole 'We don't like the art teacher' bit was made up just so they would make Hisao do the job.

OR Nomiya is just passionate about discovering a genius artist student.

I'd understand this, I'd be thrilled as a teacher to get to find a brilliant student, a pearl among crap. I actually seen this some times, that specially gifted, skilled students get to represent the school and such, so they stick around a lot with their main teachers. They rather end up being closer to that teacher then other students, but molesting... that's extreme.

And there simply are people who do not get along with other individuals for no reason at all.

What? a petty personality conflict in a VN that takes place in a high school?? Everyone knows high school is not about who you like and dislike, even among the teachers.

I think the art teacher is just a "a-bit-happy-go-lucky" person who can't read the atmosphere around him too much and smiles/laughs a lot lol

Possible similar example: Misha???

Well, there is inference... and logical leaps. I'd honestly say you were thinking lazily instead of overthinking, because you didn't reject this idea yourself.

If a rape transpires the MC will be culpable. That's just expected in eroge.

IMO I think the head nurse would be a much better rape villain
