Good chapter, it's nice that we learned something more about Henderson and Martha, so that they won't be completely indifferent characters for us.
However, there is one thing that frustrates me so much...

Loid got an extensive story about his past, so many chapters ago.
Why we still don't get a chapters like this about Anya and Yor?!
We still know almost nothing about what the series' most recognizable character was doing before the story began, and how Yor, one of the three most important characters, become a killer.
Mr. Endo, seriously, this manga already has almost 100 chapters!!!

True I thought Loid would be the last (or just not one the first) characters that we would get a backstory of, but ig Yor’s was kind of covered tho not so extensively

Wasn’t expecting to see something like Elegant sensei’s backstory, and that too of his school days. Pleasant one tbh, though since we already know Martha and he didn’t end up together, would like to see what actually went down back then, in addition to them being oblivious about their feelings thing.

WOW, to get some Henderson development was far from what I was expecting! His past with Martha was lovely, hilarious, wholesome and dare I say elegant! The rounded, cute, and crisp artstyle accompanying this back story bolstered the romance between the two. Oh to be young and unwilfully ignorant to one's own feelings... Lovely chapter, can't wait to see what happens next in their story.

A most elegant love story to be sure. Mr. Henderson has always been a righteous and refined individual

The story of Henderson and Martha was very good. And it looks like there will be more of them.
Very good chapter.

This is the backstory I never knew I needed. It was foreshadowed in the early chapters of the series that Martha and Henderson knew each other! 😊 Also, this is such a sad chapter for a flashback of supporting characters! ☹️ But, it's so elegant! I love these kinds of stories from Tatsuya Endo! Gosh, I hope Henry Henderson makes it through the cover of Volume 14! 😁 Also, Henry being ignorant --- yes, yes he was. 😟 But, his pursuit for higher education is his means to educate students --- that's why he pursued becoming a teacher (so that he won't be corrupt like the teachers he is surrounded with). It's just a sad decision he left Martha out. I feel sorry for Martha's hearbreak, too! 😭

This chapter was exceedingly elegant! I’m a sucker for a wholesome romance story, and it’s with Mr. Henderson who I thoroughly enjoy. Usually one of these stories that go off the beaten track of the story would annoy me, but this is a welcomed venture.

I wouldn't mind a spin-off of their relationship.
Hopefully their moments in this story is worthwhile. I'm rooting for Henry and Martha!

Love this two characters background story, such a shame they never got together while they were both in school, I'm so curious to see how they drifted apart after Henderson became a teacher at Eden Academy

- matron : ... henderson-sensei ...

young elegant sensei uses the pronoun "watashi" .

old elegant sensei uses the pronoun "washi" :

Depending on the region, it may be used mainly by the elderly, which is especially true for women using it, and becoming more true as usage of local variants declines in younger generations.

Its use is often considered stereotypical of old people in Japanese media and is frequently used in TV shows and comics to emphasize the age of characters.

page 3 :
young martha is doing some ballet and giving some up-skirt scenes for the boys , lol ?

page 4 :
he is wearing an imperial coat .

- young elegant sensei : ... what an elegant p@nties , i can see up her skirt , ... which earned me the nick-name "elegant-kun" ...

page 6 :
- young martha : ... johanna-san ...
- young elegant sensei : ... never address a senpai by their 1st name ...

- bully boy : ... elegant yarou / bastard ...
- young elegant sensei : ... ki-sama / you bastards ...

henry ( 19 )
13th-year ( high-school 3rd-year )

martha marriott ( 16 )
10th-year ( middle-school 4th-year )

page 9 :
OMG , young elegant sensei , you can not forcefully $trip a piece of clothing from the body of a girl .

page 10 :
- young elegant sensei : ... sensei , im a snitch / a snitcher : falco-kun beated the $hits out of me ...

page 17 :
- old martha : ... ojou-sama ...

last pages :
- ... donna-chan ...

- ... henry henderson-sensei ...

young martha is wearing an imperial coat .

and how can young elegant sensei graduate from university after only just 2.5 years ? normally , you need to study for 5 - 6 years to graduate .

in this chapter , it looks like young elegant sensei and young martha never cut their hairs . over time , their hairs keep getting more longer and longer .

I read Chapter 97 for the second time and it's such a romantic love story between Martha Marriott and Henry Henderson. I just want these two to be happy even if they didn't end up as a couple in the series. 😢😣
