I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

"Yes, we've never been able to change our pronunciation. We've gotten used to it. I never expected you to be so amazing. How did you do it? Please teach me."

"It all requires consistent practice day and night, and finding ways to change habits... I don't know any shortcuts."

"All right……"

"Hey, isn't this someone from your class..."

He thought for a long time, but couldn't remember a name, so he just laughed it off.

"Saito came looking for you earlier, but she's in class now. She asked me to tell you to wait for her at noon."

"Yes, thank you, Ishikawa."

"Don't mention it, senior."

After dealing with things here, Yoshizaki Kawa led Kayako to his office and closed the door.

"sit."

Seeing that Kayako was a little awkward, he gestured for her not to be nervous.

however--

Kayako wasn't nervous at all; she was just happy to be in the same enclosed room as her teacher!

The teacher's scent, it's all the teacher's scent. The door's closed, and I'm worried about what will happen if the teacher comes and hugs me later...

Just thinking about it makes me feel all hot and bothered!

"Kayako, there's something very important I want to ask you."

"whats the matter?"

"Did you see anything unusual last night? Or did anything strange happen?"

Chapter 11: Being love-struck is truly amazing.

Something strange?

Kayako didn't quite understand what Yoshizaki-sensei meant by "strange things".

At the same time, seeing Kayako's confused expression, Yoshizaki Kawakami already knew that the latter had not seen the demon.

This also means that the ghost did not come from the future to correct the timeline. Thinking of this, Yoshizaki breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject, saying, "I was just saying."

Just... say something?

Is the teacher trying to start a conversation with me?

Kayako, who was a little slow to react, suddenly realized this and her eyes lit up: "Something very strange has happened!"

Upon hearing this, Yoshizaki Kawa unconsciously clenched his right hand, and his expression turned serious: "What is it?"

If what I suspect is true, then I will face two choices.

Choosing to stay away from Kayako will save his life, but a few years later, Kayako will come looking for him and kill him.

Alternatively, you can choose to fight the evil spirit head-on, which will result in immediate death.

Damn, it seems like no matter which option I choose, I'm doomed.

At this point, Kayako continued:

"Last night, even though it was raining heavily, the moon still appeared. Isn't that strange, teacher? If you had been there, you would have felt that breathtaking beauty."

Last night, after her parents had finished arguing, she suddenly had a whim and opened the curtains to see a strange sight: despite the light rain, a bright moon was still visible in the sky. The moon appeared hazy and beautiful due to the reflection of the rain.

She wished she could have shared that feeling of awe with her teacher. In reality, she wasn't one to share. In that beauty, she appreciated and even enjoyed the sense of possession that came from having it all to herself.

Even her parents, whom she was in the living room, were not invited to come to the window to admire the beauty together.

But at that time, she really did have the thought of being with Yoshizaki-sensei.

However, Kayako felt that her oral narration could not bring that kind of impact, so she did not initially plan to share it with her teacher in words, but instead planned to wait until later to watch it with her teacher.

However, after the latter asked about it, he then brought it up as a topic of conversation.

In fact, the first time you see it is the most amazing, but once it is described in words, the sense of wonder is diminished.

"..."

Yoshizaki Kawa was silent for a moment, feeling that his earlier worries made him look like a clown.

Okay, being love-struck is truly amazing.

He never expected that Kayako, who was originally timid and even a little shy, would be so good at finding topics to talk about.

In fact, at that moment, he felt that Kayako was not in any danger at all and would never become the monstrous demon that followed.

after all--

A female ghost obsessed with love sounds rather absurd.

However, despite saying that, he continued the conversation: "I really envy them, being able to enjoy that kind of beauty all to themselves."

"Right, right, does the teacher like that too?"

Kayako couldn't hide her excitement; she hadn't expected her teacher to share the same hobby as her—they both loved to enjoy beauty alone.

So--

If the teacher were in that situation, would he think of himself?

If, if I really thought about myself, then, the teacher must like me too?

Thinking about this, her heart started pounding, and the hormones secreted by her brain made it difficult for her to calm down.

"Quite like."

Upon hearing this, Kayako took a deep breath and then mustered her courage:

"If there's a chance in the future, teacher..."

Before she could finish speaking, a knock came from the front door, and Kayako's words stopped abruptly, with no follow-up.

As Yoshizaki Kawa opened the door, he asked, "What do you want to do when you have the chance?"

"Um... if I have the chance, I... I want to..."

She stammered, seemingly unsure of what to say, finally managing to squeeze out four words: "Study hard!!"

This remark immediately amused Saito Asuka, who was walking inside. Although she had never seen this student at school, her cute appearance still amused Saito Asuka.

Hearing the laughter, Kayako thought it was mockery. She gripped the ground with her toes, wishing she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground. She was also secretly annoyed. Why did this hateful female teacher have to come at this time? She completely interrupted her train of thought. How annoying!

Feeling a little embarrassed, she lowered her head and said softly, "Teacher, if there's nothing else, I... I'll be going now."

Seeing Yoshizaki nod, she dashed out as if fleeing.

"These are students in your class? I've never seen them before?"

Saito Asuka asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Yoshizaki thought to himself: I've been here the whole time, you guys have completely ignored me, okay?

In the original story, Kayako's inconspicuousness was almost a curse. Her parents treated her as if she didn't exist, and her classmates did too. Forget about bullying her, they didn't even realize that there was such a person in their class. Kobayashi treated her like air, let alone feeling Kayako's love. He didn't even know that there was such a person!

“This child doesn’t talk much and is a bit withdrawn. I’ll talk to her to see if she can change.”

Yoshizakigawa said.

"I see... Indeed, there's always a sense of insecurity and gloom in that child's eyes, giving off an aloof feeling. He probably doesn't have many friends. Children like that are indeed prone to problems."

"But this kind of thing can be left to the students' department."

In Japan, there are teachers similar to counselors in China, called student affairs teachers, who are responsible for students' psychological guidance, club activities, and the distribution of subsidies and selection of various positions.

Yoshizaki shook his head: "As for the student affairs department... as long as autistic children don't do anything wrong, they will definitely not be involved. While there is still time to change them, I will take care of it. It won't take much time."

"As expected of the kind-hearted Mr. Yoshizaki!"

Saito Asuka greatly admired Yoshizaki Kawa; in this era, there are very few people willing to sacrifice for others.

Most people adopt a "not my problem" attitude, after all... even if someone has autism, what does that have to do with them? Even if someone commits suicide, frankly speaking, the students will take the blame, and they won't be affected at all.

"Never mind, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Yoshizaki was somewhat puzzled. This morning, this guy said he had something important to discuss with him. What could be so important?

Upon hearing this, Saito Asuka pushed up her glasses somewhat awkwardly and said, "Um... my brother's visa was rejected. I was thinking that you, Yoshizaki-sensei, studied abroad before, so I wanted to ask you how to get a visa..."

This era was a peak period for Japanese immigration and also the most economically developed period. At the height of the yen's power, it was even said that the GDP of Tokyo alone could buy half of the United States.

However, Yoshizaki Kawa really didn't understand the ins and outs of this, since the original owner had been there several years ago.

Looking at the pleading look in the eyes of the girl with black-rimmed glasses in front of him, Yoshizaki Kawa, who wanted to build a good relationship with his colleague, finally said, "Then let me see the information!"

Chapter 12 Information

Flipping through the materials handed to him by the female teacher, Yoshizaki was speechless with exasperation. Damn it, the materials said they admired freedom, looked up to the lighthouse, and planned to learn advanced technology and ideas…
