I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

"Kayako, we're going to be late."

However, upon hearing Kawakami Tomie's words, Yoshizaki Kawa gripped her hand tightly: "I'm just surprised that you would wait for me here, just to hold my hand."

……

—If that's the case, then let's break up!

Tomie only thought the second half of the sentence to herself and didn't say it out loud.

But Yoshizaki's attitude at this moment clearly shows that he has forgotten his vow.

As Yoshizaki Kawa entered the school, he saw Kawakami Tomie, who had been standing there the whole time. Even though she had been waiting for him, she pretended it was just a coincidence and scoffed, "What a coincidence?"

Yoshizaki did not answer the question directly, but instead used being late as an excuse to leave.

"Damn it, who would wait here for you forever! I just happened to run into you!"

"Ok."

So--

"You too."

But that's in reality, not in this virtual world.

They even became indifferent and uncaring towards themselves.

In fact, even if Yoshizaki Kawa gave her a perfunctory reply, she would comfort herself by saying it was the fault of the bad woman.

Those who break their vows must swallow a thousand needles.

Under Yoshizaki's somewhat surprised gaze, Tomie, though nervous, pretended to be nonchalant: "What? Are you surprised to have your girlfriend grab your hand?"

Tomie said angrily, and then tried to let go, but Yoshizaki held her hand tightly, as if it were fixed in place.

"Since that's the case, then you have no choice."

Behind them, Kayako hid in a corner, clenching her fists.

That genuine smile from my brother was something he had only ever shown to himself before.

I'm so angry! Why did this kind of thing happen to me?

At some point in her life, Kayako had fantasized countless times about growing up, wearing a wedding dress, marrying her brother, and living happily ever after. From elementary school to junior high, she and her brother had always had a good relationship, living together and sleeping together. A happy future seemed within reach.

But it's been like this ever since I started high school.

Kayako gripped her pen tightly; she couldn't bear it any longer.

now that--

The root of the problem lies with Tomie, so, brother, let me put this on the right track and end it myself!

The one you like, the one you love dearly, can only ever be me.

Even if you like someone else, it must be love that seeps out from the cracks of your love for me. I will not allow you to ignore me, nor will I allow you to break your promises.

Those who break their promises will have to swallow a thousand steel needles, even in hell.

So, to prevent you from being punished, let me take action!

……

The two walked hand in hand, strutting arrogantly from the school to the classroom, and sat down brazenly amidst the shocked gazes of everyone.

At this moment, in the eyes of the other students, Emperor Yoshizaki was invincible at school.

Just yesterday, he and Tomie were called into the office, but when they came out, they were still chatting and laughing without changing their expressions.

Putting that aside, today, they actually walked from outside the school into the classroom with such an arrogant attitude.

Could it be that he is truly unafraid of the source of the darkness and turmoil—his homeroom teacher?

At this moment, everyone felt only awe towards Yoshizaki Kawa, without the slightest envy, and even felt that perhaps only he was worthy of Tomie-kun.

After all, to be fair, if I were in Yoshizaki Kawa's position, I would probably only dare to do it secretly underground, and would never dare to be so open and aboveboard.

And, that's not all!

It was almost time for class to start, and the teacher could arrive at any moment.

But after Yoshizaki Kawa sat down, he suddenly pulled out a paper rose from the drawer as if by magic.

Although the flowers had no color, they were exceptionally exquisite, clearly the result of considerable effort. The next moment, he snapped his fingers, spun his chair, and, with a dashing air, presented the roses to Tomie.

The students were completely impressed by Yoshizaki's courage. They knew that the teacher could arrive at any moment, yet he still acted this way.

Meanwhile, Tomie looked at the roses, which resembled toys, and was somewhat speechless.

While others send real flowers worth thousands, this guy is so stingy that he even sends himself fake paper roses. It's ridiculous.

Just as Kawakami Tomie was about to refuse, Yoshizaki Kawakami ripped off a rose, and the next moment, the rose turned into a piece of paper, on which was a sketch of Tomie.

Tomie paused for a moment, then a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

She reached out her slender hand, grasped the paper, and prepared to accept the gift.

She liked this thoughtful gift, just like the previous painting.

But at this moment,

Kayako, who had never been treated with such care by her brother and had always been shunned from behind, remembered her brother's promise. The gloom on her face was almost visible. The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, she strode forward and, just as Tomie grabbed the paper, tore it open and stabbed it at Kawakami Tomie.

"Brother, what am I to you?"

"Have you forgotten your vow?!"

Chapter 205 A Battlefield of Death

Inside the office.

English teacher Heisei was still calmly sipping his red wine, taking a small sip before slowly putting it down.

To his left, there was a fruit platter containing watermelon and other fruits.

To be honest, this melon is quite sweet and tastes good today.

The dream's plot ultimately took an unexpected turn and did not follow the predetermined path.

However, this plot twist gave him a sense of "pleasure." Even if he died watching this chaotic scene, it would be worth it.

"So, in this situation, which path would you choose?"

Kill Kayako? Return to reality? Or perhaps, embrace one of them?

If I choose the first option, I will die.

But it's not a big problem; life and death aren't really that important to me.

When this terrifying information surfaced in his mind, Yoshizaki's pupils trembled. Everything he had maintained was being ruthlessly destroyed by himself.

The next moment, all the images burst and vanished like bubbles.

I understand all of this! I understand everything...

Beneath this dilapidated classroom, Kayako, Tomie, and Yoshizaki Kawa each wore different expressions.

Kayako, who was initially shocked and distressed because she had stabbed her brother, and even thought that if she were the one who was hurt, Yoshizaki Kawa would also shield her in this way, was overwhelmed with emotion when she heard Yoshizaki Kawa's words.

"Then what do I want?"

After all, the worst outcome would be nothing more than continuing to be that copy of the evil spirit in the dream and being completely controlled by Yoshizaki.

The sharp edge of the pen tore open the portrait of Tomie in the middle, and before anyone could react, it stabbed straight at Tomie Kawakami, who was still standing there stunned and at a loss.

Perhaps out of some kind of morbid sense of humor, Heisei never told him that Kayako here was also connected to reality.

Yoshizaki was startled, completely unprepared for Kayako's sudden move.

"Have you forgotten all our promises?"

"Yoshizaki River..."

At this moment, everyone in the classroom has disappeared, and the once brand-new classroom is now dilapidated, with holes and cobwebs in the ceiling.

She broke down in tears and said, "Since I started high school, do you still care about me? Now, even if I try to talk to you, you get annoyed. I can feel it, I can feel it all!"

Her lips trembled as she whispered the name that made her feel safest.

……

But as soon as he realized what was happening, he reached out and blocked Kawakami Tomie's path. The sharp pen was like a knife in this dream. He reached out, but in such an extreme situation, how could he have time to grab Kayako's hand?

When I heard Yoshizaki Kawa say "hook on the police car," it felt like my heart had been struck by a heavy hammer. What was going on? How could Kayako in my dream know all this?

She is not Kayako from the dream! She is Kayako in reality!

He didn't resent the outcome, and even in this dream, he never intended to harm them.

So what should we do now?

Tomie, standing to the side, was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Especially after smelling the indescribable stench of blood, two scenes flashed through her mind: one was of her childhood sweetheart being stabbed to death by the boy who loved her in high school.

He's just grown up and wants to see more possibilities.
