I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

But after communicating with Makoto yesterday and learning that Okabe exists in this world, he knew that this world might also be a fusion of the Ring. That's why when he saw the name, he subconsciously thought of that forbidden name.

But—this name doesn't match at all!

One is Sadako, and the other is Mako!

With trembling fingers, he rummaged through a pile of documents and found Mako Yamamura's information.

He began to read.

Chapter 63 Mako? Sadako?

In The Ring, Sadako is born with superpowers because of her mother.

Later, Sadako's mother failed in a performance due to excessive psychological pressure, which led people to believe she was a fraud, and the theater was shut down. The mother committed suicide, while the father went to the mountains to practice asceticism in order to prove himself, and contracted tuberculosis.

Later, Sadako joined a theater troupe for a tour. When her father was dying, she went home to take care of him, who had tuberculosis. As a result, she was raped by the last smallpox patient in Japan and was discovered to be a hidden male. Shame and resentment from the past nineteen years led her to commit suicide by jumping into a well.

Down in the well, he used his abilities to combine the smallpox virus with his superpowers and burned the virus onto a CD.

Everyone who sees the disc will die of a heart attack from a phone call received at midnight seven days later.

Strictly speaking, in terms of ability level, Sadako's level should be equivalent to Kayako's.

However, since the original work of The Ring is a science fiction novel called The Ring, which tells the story of intelligent viruses and AI simulations, it is slightly weaker than Kayako's original and unpolluted evil spirit.

However, when Yoshizaki saw that Mako's residence on the information was actually an orphanage, he realized that the possibility of her being the one from The Ring was already very small.

After all, Sadako was always performing with the theater, and how could an actor go to university?

As expected, according to the information, Mako was not a member of any theater troupe. She was found on the beach by a couple when she was a child. Later, the couple had an accident and had no choice but to hand Mako over to a rural orphanage.

With the help of kind people, she managed to complete her basic education. However, the orphanage relied mainly on donations and had almost no source of profit, so it did not allow her to continue her studies.

And then he was selected by this school—

"It seems it's not the Sadako from The Ring."

Yoshizaki breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

While Sadako may exist in this world, strictly speaking, the probability of encountering her is extremely low as long as you don't touch the discs.

And if Sadako were to appear at this school...emmmm, Yoshizaki Kawa thinks Saitama University could be renamed "Demon University," since gathering all these demon kings is indeed not an easy task.

Moreover—Sadako from The Ring is a cross-dresser, while Mako sounds like a girl's name, so they really don't make any connection.

After compiling the list, Yoshizaki hesitated for a long time, but still included Mako in his own list. In any case, it's always better to be careful.

If it really is Mako who hasn't yet reached the fate of becoming an evil spirit, then I... well, I can't beat her, Kayako, save me!

At the same time, Takekawa Naosai knocked on the office door.

"come in."

Yoshizaki Kawa stacked the documents into a pile, pulled out Mako's documents, and then looked at Takekawa Naosai in front of him. The latter had two big dark circles under his eyes, clearly looking like he was sleep-deprived, but when he saw Yoshizaki Kawa, he still managed to force a smile.

"Sakigawa-senpai, I heard you wanted to see me?"

Looking at this guy's appearance, Yoshizaki knew exactly how badly he had been ostracized since he helped the principal with that thing.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. Even if he had done it honestly, people would have had some complaints at most, but it wouldn't have come to this.

There are reasons why some people insist on putting others on the hot seat.

My intention was to have him set an example, but instead, he started with 20,000 yuan and even told others that they wouldn't dare to say anything if the donation was less than that.

In Japan, people value face even more than they would in the country they lived in in their previous life.

It's like having a large intestine that leads directly to the brain; the brain is completely expelled without any pressure.

"I told you to donate 5,000 before, why did you donate 20,000?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he didn't dare to reply. After reflecting on his isolation during this period, it was clear that he had realized his mistake.

To be honest, even after just two days of workplace bullying, he felt he couldn't stand it anymore.

No one spoke to him anymore. As soon as he walked into the office, all the teachers would fall silent or whisper among themselves, and he would become completely invisible.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a job for a while after leaving his job and didn't have much savings, he would have quit his job too.

Seeing his expression, Yoshizaki Kawa lost the urge to make a comment, shook his head, and pushed the documents on the table away.

"This is the list of students I've selected who need the teachers' help. Please take the list to the relevant teachers and tell them that, after our discussion, we've decided to change the original monthly incentive amount of 1,500 yuan to 2,500 yuan per month."

"Senior, this...this isn't appropriate, is it? I didn't discuss this with you at all!"

After this period of training, Takekawa Naosai could vaguely tell that the senior in front of him wanted to use this to help him.

"We've already discussed this, Wu Chuan. You don't want to be isolated forever, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Chuan's fingers trembled slightly in his sleeve. He then grasped the corner of the document, bowed respectfully in gratitude, and picked up the document.

Before leaving, he turned back and said, "I will definitely support you when it comes to the next principal selection!"

"?"

Upon hearing Takekawa's words, Yoshizaki slowly typed a question mark. Was this bastard thinking something wrong?

The principal isn't dead yet! Even if his term ends, he'll most likely be the one selected. Even if he isn't, there will be a new election from the committee. And even if the committee is truly short-staffed, senior professors are more qualified. How could it be a junior like me...?

and many more?

Why am I starting to think about this kind of thing? Do I really have a rebellious streak?

Thinking of this, Yoshizaki Kawa fell silent for a moment, because he thought of the evidence of corruption and the principal's dirty laundry he possessed, and it seemed... he really could bring the principal down...

Damn it, Yoshizaki Kawa, don't think about these things.

You've spent half your life wandering, never encountering a wise ruler. The principal who's willing to share the spoils with you is already being very kind. How could you have such a rebellious idea!

Yoshizaki silently opened the locked cabinet, put the principal's bill in his pocket, and planned to take it home in the afternoon.

……

at the same time,

Meanwhile, in the nursing home.

Mako Yamamura is pushing an elderly man slowly forward;

Because the welfare home's funding mostly comes from social donations, the director often organizes the children to do chores outside, such as cleaning up garbage and pulling weeds. The older children do odd jobs, and many more work part-time at nursing homes.

This is because it can evoke sympathy, and although most of the elderly people in nursing homes were "abandoned" there by their children.

But some of them are also quite wealthy.

For example, the woman in front of Mako, her family has donated a lot of money to welfare homes and nursing homes.

“Every time you push me around, I feel the pain lessen a lot. Maybe it's just my imagination! I always feel like you're not an ordinary child!”

Chapter 64 Orphanage

Mako smiled slightly, gently massaged the latter's shoulders, and said softly, "Perhaps it's because you've been staying in your room and don't come out often. You're always so happy when I push you out!"

"No, no, I've had others push me out before, but it never felt like you, Xiaozhenzi. Every time you're behind me, it feels like a gentle breeze, and my mind clears up!"

She seemed to want to explain something, but just then, Mako's hand on her shoulder gently squeezed, and her gaze instantly became cloudy again. She seemed to have forgotten what she wanted to say, and after a long pause, she said:

"Mako, I always feel so relaxed when I go out with you!"

"Yes, maybe it's because you prefer going outside, Grandma!"

"Sigh, I don't have much time left in my life. To have you thinking of me during these last moments is a blessing! By the way, I heard from the dean that you might be able to go to university?"

“I’m lucky to have been chosen, but I will come back to visit you often, Grandma.”

Mako smiled, but her calm, still eyes contrasted sharply with the smile on her face.

A normal person's smile always starts with the eyes smiling first, followed by the corners of the mouth.

But her smile seemed forced, with no genuine joy in her eyes, making it appear extremely fake.

"Little Zhenzi, you must be careful when you get to the city. I've heard there are a lot of bad people there. A pretty girl like you should never go out at night!"

"I know, Grandma, that's about enough time for today, it's time to go home."

"Let's wander around a bit more... Yes, we've seen enough for today, it's time to go home."

She seemed dazed for a moment, then was slowly pushed back.

After sending her grandmother back to the nursing home and receiving her wages, Mako bowed and then headed towards the welfare home.

She was found by the orphanage director on a reef by the sea; she looked like a child who had drifted over from an island across the ocean.

However, fearing that his "introduction" was not tragic enough, the director lied on the application he had submitted earlier, saying that his adoptive parents had disappeared and that he had joined the welfare home later.

In fact, I grew up here.

According to the dean, when he found himself...

I seemed to be holding a strange stone statue, and strangely, although it was a stone statue, it was floating on the water.
