I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

The teacher's house... I could stay there for an entire afternoon!

Thinking of this, her heart started pounding, but she kept her head down and remained silent after speaking.

Yoshizaki didn't think much of it. Seeing that the latter agreed, and since it was on the way to the school, he flagged down a taxi, dropped Kayako off at the door, gave her the keys, and then asked the driver to take him to the school.

At the same time, Kayako looked at the doorknob in front of her that she had been collecting rent from for many years and was already very familiar with, and her heart pounded even harder. For some reason, she even felt a little embarrassed.

Two small hands gripped the doorknob, pushing the door open forcefully to reveal the worn-out decorations;

A bed, a computer, a chair, and a wardrobe on the left with clothes hanging on hangers inside. She turned on the light, and then—closed the wooden door.

I cautiously peered through the peephole and looked outside. Seeing that no one was around, I walked to the desk and was about to draw the curtains when I realized that this might attract more attention. So I drew the curtains halfway and looked at the desk like I was searching for treasure.

There were sticky notes on the desk. Yoshizaki-sensei had beautiful handwriting. Some things were written on them, and some verses were copied. Some of the books on the left bookshelf were already full of creases. On the shelf next to the desk, there was a dark-colored domed hat.

She picked up the bowler hat, took a deep breath, and then put it on her head;

Like a kitten, I tiptoed to the mirror. When I saw myself in the mirror, I realized I was wearing a school uniform, the hat almost covering half my head, and two strands of black hair slipping down my sides—a truly comical sight.

Her lips had just curled into a smile when she noticed the bruises on her arm. She quickly covered the wound with her sleeve, her face tense.

He couldn't help but wonder what had happened between his teacher and his father. Did the teacher see his wounds and see him lying in bed, and then beat his father up?

Is this how the teacher got her wound?

She felt a pang of heartache.

It's not worth it for me to do this, since I've already gotten used to it.

When she saw her teacher looking like that, she felt even more heartbroken than if she herself had been injured.

"So... since the teacher is doing this for me, I can't have any disgusting thoughts. I just need to watch from behind and make sure I can keep an eye on the teacher."

She recalled that rebellious and selfish thought that had flashed through her mind earlier, and felt a pang of self-reproach. She thought to herself, "I'm such a disgusting and selfish person!"

He lay on his side on the bed, clutching the teacher's blanket.

She thought about many things, but under that familiar scent, she still hugged the quilt tightly and fell into a deep sleep;

Chapter 33 Boiling Sheep

"Thank goodness! Yoshizaki-senpai, you finally arrived!"

Saito Asuka was waiting at the school gate, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yoshizaki Kawa arrive.

"Senior, you have no idea, when I called you before, the thought that you might not make it in time sent chills down my spine!"

For some reason, after making that phone call to Yoshizaki-senpai, I always felt a chill run down my spine.

Saito Asuka felt that he was probably afraid that this senior who had brought him into the industry would break the rules and cause him to be expelled from school!

After all, the teaching profession has become extremely competitive in recent years. Although the senior teachers are very capable and experienced, they cannot rely on these factors to ensure a stable career in recent years.

Hey, isn't this a bit outrageous?

Yoshizaki was speechless. Was it really necessary?

However, he was still very grateful: "I really have to thank Saito-sensei this time. I had forgotten about this before."

"Let's go!"

"it is good."

Yoshizaki walked forward with a limp;

"Senior, what are you doing?"

“I fell down earlier, and I was in the hospital when you called.”

Yoshizaki Kawa lied without batting an eye, quickly concocting a reason.

Is it serious?

"It's okay, I can manage."

"How about I help you up, senior?"

Saito Asuka noticed that there seemed to be bloodstains on Yoshizaki Kawa's trouser legs and guessed that it was serious. Ignoring Yoshizaki Kawa's objections, she quickly came over to support him.

"Really, no need. I can walk."

"I'm a girl and I don't care about these things, but you, senior, are still concerned about the difference between men and women? You're so old-fashioned! Please, it's the 20th century now!"

She casually pulled Yoshizaki Kawa's hand over and hoisted it onto her shoulder;

Yoshizaki saw his good intentions and knew that Saito Asuka had a bold and unrestrained personality, but—

I don't care about being old-fashioned or not at all.

Rather, they were afraid that the previous incident involving the couple would reignite the controversy on campus!

Girl, do you know?

We're all walking a tightrope right here at school. If something happens to that incredible guy, we might all be dead...

But can these things be said? Obviously not.

"Never mind... Just like Saito Asuka said, rumors will eventually disappear if you ignore them."

Later, these lovely students will know that I, brother, am still flawless throughout my life.

however--

This thought suddenly became somewhat awkward after he made eye contact with Tomie, who was standing by the pillar next to him, surrounded by a group of women.

Don't forget, Tomie is the original owner's ex-girlfriend... although only in name, but because that girl came to see him this morning, he felt a little awkward for a moment.

However, letting go now would be like trying to hide something obvious, so I could only pretend I didn't see it.

"Asuka Saito-sensei, Yoshizaki-senpai?! What are you all doing...?"

Physical education teacher Wu Chuan widened his eyes again, feeling that he had been fooled by these two guys at noon today.

Aren't they a couple?

For a moment, I felt somewhat disappointed.

"Senior accidentally got injured, what's wrong with me helping you out? Do you have a problem with that?"

Sometimes, dislike doesn't develop overnight, but rather accumulates gradually.

Clearly, Saito Asuka dislikes Takekawa a lot.

"Ah, are you injured, senior? Let me help you up!"

"You're so rude, what if you hurt your senior a second time?"

Seeing this, Yoshizaki withdrew his hand from Saito Asuka's shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay, I can walk."

Just now, when Takekawa was being mocked for being rude, Yoshizaki suddenly thought of a sheep from the Green Green Grassland.

Boiling Sheep, you're so rude!

Damn, I can already hear those thoughts in my head.

At this moment, Saito Asuka stopped trying to help Yoshizaki Kawa. The meeting room wasn't far away, so there was no need. Although she didn't really care about the gossip, the thought of being bombarded with questions by the other female teachers was still annoying.

The three of them walked inside together;

……

"Tsk, as expected, the rumors are true."

"Looking at them, I wouldn't believe they weren't having an affair!"

"But... do you know exactly how old Yoshizaki-sensei is?"

"You seem to be at least thirty, right?"

I feel that way.

"Sensei Saito Asuka, she looks to be twenty-three? That makes her seven years younger?"

27 is old.

Tomie thought to herself that when she was dating that guy before, she had seen his ID card. He was 26 years old at that time, but he would be 27 soon after his birthday.

Of course, I didn't mean to remember his birthday; it's just that I have a good memory and can remember everything I see.

Hearing her classmates still chattering away, she felt a surge of resentment.

"Is that guy... doing this on purpose in front of me? Or is he trying to get close to other women to escape my influence?"

From the moment she went to the office that morning, she knew that the guy still cared about her, but he had just been holding back.

Otherwise, why would he require his club not to recruit male students?

Furthermore, when she used her "cuteness" skill back then, Tomie Kawakami was certain that the guy was definitely smitten.

He was just too resilient and kept his abilities hidden.

All I need to do is lure this out, and I'll have won big.

But what happened with Kayako that afternoon made her doubt herself.
