I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

Then you're just going to wait and see if others do it or not!

However, with the mindset of doing my best and leaving the rest to fate, I searched online for some ways to ward off evil spirits. Although I didn't know if they would actually work, I still followed what the internet taught.

Put water in a bowl and spread it on the ground. Sprinkle a layer of salt by the window and hang a mirror on the roof beam facing outwards.

Then, Yoshizaki wrapped himself in the blanket, closed his eyes, and secretly vowed that no matter what strange noises came from outside, he would never open his eyes!

Turn off the lights, get into bed, and close your eyes.

Time passes minute by minute.

In the darkness and silence, people are always prone to countless illusions.

He guessed that there might be a hand lurking under the bed, ready to yank his feet off the covers the moment they extended.

Or perhaps, on the ceiling, a child is looking at you.

The silence was so profound that even the slightest breeze rustling the windowpane evoked endless reverie.

In the midst of fear and dread, he finally fell into a deep sleep.

……

In a dream.

In the empty square, Yoshizaki walked alone, aimlessly;

The surrounding area was filled with all sorts of people whose faces were obscured; some had triangular heads, and others were just a jumble of characters.

These are the original owner's memories; those blurry figures are probably subconscious fantasies.

At that moment, a child who looked exactly like him stumbled and rushed into the crowd, crashing through the solid mass of people, leaving him dazed and confused.

The scene around them changed instantly. In a poor village, a child was pushed out of a house by a pair of hands, carrying a patched bundle on his back, and headed towards school.

At school, the poorly dressed child often faced bullying, but relying on the hopes of his impoverished family, he silently endured it all and achieved top grades in his class.

However, this led to even more serious bullying.

The parents' weakness, the teachers' ridicule,

One day, he changed. He beat up those who bullied him and developed bad habits that escalated over time.

He realized that there was no such thing as justice in this world; as long as he was wicked enough, those people would not bully him.

Rooted in poverty and weakness, evil thoughts planted in the heart begin to sprout.

Then--

There was no reversal; the boy was extremely intelligent, and even as a delinquent, his terrifying learning talent still made him achieve excellent grades.

Everything went smoothly: he got into university, became a teacher... and because he didn't want to spend exorbitant medical bills to send his parents away, everything fell into place.

However, because he was used to living in poverty, even with a high salary and savings, he remained stingy, superficial, and seemingly kind but actually evil, which perfected his character.

Yoshizaki Kawa is like a passerby, savoring the original owner's memories, taking a cursory look around, and experiencing the uninspired life of a "stranger".

This life had no ups and downs, but the emotions it contained were projected into his heart, making him feel a little pity for the original owner's pitiful state of mind.

Because he never felt loved and no one pulled him out of the violence, he developed that scumbag personality.

until--

The scene disappears, and you are in front of a flower bed where colorless flowers are in full bloom.

A figure with an extremely slender figure, but whose face was not clearly visible, stood quietly from behind.

But Yoshizaki Kawa inexplicably knew that she had a mole on her face and was very beautiful. Standing there, she seemed to be holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands.

Her name was something like... Fu... Fu...

What was the meaning of "rich" again?

The original owner's memories were like that blurry figure, incomplete and chaotic. Yoshizaki Kawa had no idea what the name of this person who seemed to be important to the original owner was.

And this girl was the original owner's ex-girlfriend?

Yes, the original owner of this body had a girlfriend, but they broke up a long time ago.

The reason for the breakup is unclear. Was this his girlfriend?

It seems to hold a significant place in his heart, which makes sense, as people who lack love always place great importance on their first relationship.

At that moment, the figure in front spoke in a seductive tone:

"Teacher, will you be my boyfriend?"

Chapter 9 Tomie Kawakami

"What the hell are you thinking! Kayako will be jealous! What if she gets jealous and writes about herself in her diary, then goes to Saeki Takeo, makes a wish, gets pregnant, Saeki Takeo discovers she's infertile and kills her, then finds herself..."

In a daze, Yoshizaki Kawa seemed to see a dark, twisted, crawling monster rushing towards him;

"Grass!"

Yoshizaki Kawa suddenly sat up in bed, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"It was all just a dream?"

He breathed a sigh of relief, but his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of the porcelain bowl on the ground, which remained unchanged.

"wrong--"

"I'm still alive? That ghost didn't come looking for me last night?"

Seeing the bowls of water and salt still in their original places, and the mirror hanging motionless, Yoshizaki belatedly realized that nothing had happened the night before, and that what he had guessed had not occurred.

"Last night's bizarre dream must be a side effect of my time travel."

Yoshizaki felt that the strange dream he had last night was probably not because of the ghost.

After all, the ghost's existence was too incongruous with the content of his dream. If it really was that ghost, shouldn't it have been warning him to continue isolating Kayako, according to the normal plot?

Moreover, ever since that strange dream, he felt as if he had... completely integrated into this world? Or rather, adapted to this body.

Everything in the dream must be the remnant thoughts of the original body?

However, from that moment on, he became Yoshizaki Kawa.

He threw off the covers, got out of bed, and occasionally glanced at the clock next to him. When he saw where the hands were pointing, Yoshizaki Kawa was instantly jolted awake. His instinct to go to work, which was ingrained in his body, quickly took over his mind!

Damn it, I'm going to be late!!!

She quickly put on her coat, pulled off her socks, and slipped them on around her ankles. While putting on her shoes, she grabbed her phone, went to the kitchen, quickly washed her face with water, took a sip to rinse her mouth, roughly wiped herself with a towel, and then hopped out the door.

His right hand instinctively reached out to close the door with the handle, but the next moment, he pushed it open again, quickly grabbed the keys hanging on the coat rack, swiftly unlocked the bicycle chain by the door, and pushed off with his right foot, quickly moving forward.

Although I am not a professor of a major course, I am relatively free in Japanese universities. If there are no meetings, I don't even have to go to school.

but--

I have my own class today!

Although he doesn't even know what he teaches or what the courses are all about, being late is all that matters.

He didn't want to be expelled from school for neglecting his duties.

After all, the times are uncertain and making money is not easy. Although I have savings, they are money I'm saving to find an exorcist, and I can't just touch them!

—Although it has been confirmed that Kayako's parents are not exorcists, what happened yesterday made Yoshizaki Kawa realize that other evil spirits exist in this world!

Therefore, for my own safety, I should at least try to hook up with an exorcist—provided, of course, that there are real exorcists in this world.

Take a deep breath and cycle quickly;

At that moment, he felt like Mumen Rider from One-Punch Man, except there were no monsters in front of him, only... the headmaster!

pedaling like crazy...

Finally! With less than five minutes left, he arrived at school and easily locked his bicycle.

"Yoshizaki Kawa...senpai? That's rare. I didn't expect you to be so late too?"

The female teacher next to her, wearing black-rimmed glasses and looking disheveled, looked surprised. You see, this senior Yoshizaki Kawa was very dedicated, always arrived early, almost never late, and had never looked so disheveled before.

"Saito-sensei, I have class to attend, I have to go now!!"

However, he didn't have time to say much. The name that naturally came to mind the moment he saw the person opposite him was Saito Asuka, a new teacher in the Literature Department, a graduate of a prestigious university, who was often... late.

Although the original owner was inherently evil, he was extremely good at disguising himself, so he even had a good reputation among the teachers. Everyone thought he was a responsible and dutiful teacher.

"Alright, but if you have time at noon, I'd like to invite you to lunch, because I've encountered a rather troubling matter and would like to ask for your advice..."

"it is good!"

As he turned to run, he instinctively agreed; this was a reaction the original owner had long been accustomed to, something ingrained in his very being.

He ran breathlessly to the teaching building, quickly climbed to the second floor, and at the last moment, leaned against the door frame, panting heavily. His glasses were fogged up because he hadn't used anti-fog spray. Looking into the classroom, he could only see a sea of ​​people. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry, students, I'm late."

"Xu~"

This statement immediately caused an uproar, because in everyone's impression, Mr. Yoshizaki was a very strict teacher who always arrived at the classroom very early and was never late. Therefore, he would not allow students to be late, otherwise he would deduct credits without mercy!

—Yes, Japan also has the dreaded credit system.
