A journey into an infinite dimension

"As for this, it's just my 'boarding fee'."

Take off the apron and hang it back in its place, said Jiaye.

"Excuse me, are you currently living in Kaguya's house?"

Finally finding the opportunity to get to the point, Bai Yin Ren asked in a serious tone.

"That's right."

Nodding and looking at the girls, Jia Ye seemed to guess why they came.

"If you are worried about something, then my assurances are probably not credible."

Jia Ye smiled helplessly. Of course, he could understand the thoughts and concerns of these girls.

"But I can only say that I would never do anything to let my lover down."

Raising his right hand to indicate the ring on his middle finger, Jia Ye smiled calmly.

Wearing a ring on the middle finger of the right hand has the implicit meaning of "having someone in your heart", which means that you already have a lover.

This is a popular saying in today's society, and Hongying and others are naturally aware of it.

Although it seems that this is just Jia Ye's one-sided statement, its credibility is still questionable for several girls who have no idea what kind of person he is.

However, seeing the tenderness that flashed undisguised in the boy's eyes when he talked about his lover, the girls subconsciously wanted to believe him.

Because they all believe that a person who shows this kind of look just when talking must be deeply in love with the person he loves and will never betray the other person.

However, even though they thought so in their hearts, they would not easily believe Jia Ye.

Because this matter concerns the safety of their friends. If something that no one wants to see happens, it will be too late to regret it.

"What have you been talking about since just now?"

Having remained confused from beginning to end, Kaguya finally asked her doubts.

Why do you say you live in your own home one moment and won’t let your lover down the next moment?

At this moment, although Kaguya's temperament was still cold and aloof, there was a hint of cuteness in her.

If this were a comic book world, she would probably have small eyes and a few question marks on her head.

...How can I even say this?

In response to Kaguya's question, Hongying and the others looked at each other and fell into silence.

Kaguya is like this sometimes, so innocent and pure that it is hard to bear to tell her anything that would pollute this innocence.

"They are concerned about you and worried that I might do something dangerous to you."

But since they didn't say it, Jia Ye didn't mind telling it.

"Eh!"

"wait---"

Unexpectedly, Jia Ye was not polite at all. However, by the time Hong Ying and others reacted, it was too late to stop him.

"Oh, that's no problem."

Realizing that this was what Kaya and the others were talking about, Kaguya also didn't react much.

"My intuition and current judgment tell me that he is not that kind of person, and I am confident that I can drag him down with me, so there is no problem."

No, no, no, this is not a statement without problems at all!

Hearing this, the girls couldn't help but complain in their hearts at the same time.

Forget about intuition, but what the hell is dying together? That’s totally not a problem!

"Since Kaguya has said so, we still can't believe you."

Looking at Jia Ye, Du Chun said seriously.

"I understand. If a man wants to live with my daughter who lives alone, I will send him to Tokyo Bay."

Nodding, Jiaye expressed his understanding of the girls' doubts about him.

"However, now that the room has been cleaned, it would be too inefficient and cost-effective to look for a new place to live. Besides, considering Kaguya's eating habits, I'm sure you are worried."

It’s all his scumbag sister’s fault for not arranging a place for him to live.

...Wait, isn't this her purpose?

Jia Ye suddenly realized something.

He didn't think there would be any mistakes in the arrangements made by Honkai Will, so the fact that there was no accommodation arranged could only be said to be intentional on her part.

The purpose of doing this...

[Let's go kill a few of her avatars to vent our anger. I'll record a video and send it back to you.]

A voice that was almost overflowing with murderous intent quietly sounded in his consciousness, and then without waiting for Jia Ye to speak, Ge Jiuye fell completely silent.

Although Jiaye could feel that Ge Jiuye still had most of her attention on him, the other half had probably gone to cause trouble for the Honkai Will as she said.

"That being said..."

Hearing this, looking at the food on the table and remembering Kaguya's usual eating habits, the balance in Hongying and the others' hearts began to slowly tilt towards Kaguya.

There's absolutely no comparison...

"But who knows if you'll do something weird at home while Kaguya is at school."

The second son, Yu Jiexi, made a final struggle.

"Speaking of which, is your school still recruiting teachers?"

Hearing this, Jia Ye spoke as if he suddenly remembered something.

"......ha?"

Chapter 279: Are You Afraid of a Tutor Working as a Teacher in Your School?

When the friends returned home in a daze,

"are you serious?"

While taking small bites of her hot lunch that tasted indescribably delicious, Kaguya looked at Kaya who was sitting opposite her and asked softly.

"It's just an idea, but if you don't like it, forget it."

Picking up a piece of evenly cut fried meat and putting it into his mouth, Jiaye said with a smile.

"After all, it sounds really inhumane for a tutor to take up a position at a student's school."

To put it simply, it feels like students are being pushed very hard.

This kind of teacher is generally disliked by students.

"I recognize that you have the ability to be a teacher in a school, but then you won't have any time for yourself."

Looking up at Kaguya, Kaguya said with some confusion.

"What makes you go to this extent?"

What she cared about was not the fact that she might have to face Jiaye almost 24 hours a day, but why he was willing to sacrifice his own time and go to such lengths to teach her.

Just as she said, if Jia Ye was just an ordinary head teacher, then when she went to school, Jia Ye would have some free time to use.

Once she was out of school, he would have to focus all his attention on her.

Although teaching cannot be done the entire time after school, Jiaye still needs to do his own things even when there is no teaching.

So his behavior is completely reducing his own disposable time.

What made him do this?

"Because I promised, I will do my best. This is my habit."

Although he was a little surprised that Kaguya would ask this, Jiaye still spoke his true feelings.

Everything he is doing now is not because of his ideas, but simply because of his personality.

If he promised Honkai Will that he would become Kaguya's teacher, then he wouldn't mind teaching her all the knowledge he had.

If he lives in Kaguya's house, he will pay the corresponding boarding fees, prepare three meals and lunch boxes for Kaguya, and clean the house.

And now he is planning to teach at Kaguya's school, also based on the idea of ​​teaching Kaguya.

Although most people would not do such a thankless task, there is no way, this is Jiaye's character, and he is happy to do it.

"...Perfectionism?"

After a long silence, Kaguya thought of a word that was very suitable for Kaya.

"That's right."

Nodding, Jiaye admitted it very readily.

Although in the eyes of the world, "perfectionism" is often equated with "inferiority complex" - if you are not aware of your own imperfections and feel inferior about these imperfections, how can you pursue perfection?

This is what the world thinks.

At the same time, "perfectionism" is not actually a positive word.

Because many perfectionists have an innate impulse, they will devote this energy to things that are closely related to their lives, and work hard to improve them, trying to make them perfect, and never get tired of it, and ultimately - give up halfway.

Because, although perfectionists do things spontaneously and they have a never-give-up spirit at the beginning, this motivation tends to wane over time.

The reason is that in the process of moving towards "perfection", imperfect situations occur one after another, and most people cannot take care of so many things, and in the end they can only admit defeat to reality.

But this is only for ordinary people.

Because ordinary people have limited abilities, they cannot do everything perfectly, and they cannot even make something perfect from the beginning, process to the end.

But Jiaye is different. He is a genius and a monster. What ordinary people can't do, geniuses can do, and monsters can do it too.

Even though he is not omnipotent, even though there are things he cannot do, from the perspective of ordinary worldly people, he is already omnipotent.

It's like looking at humans, or even beings above humans, from the perspective of an ant.

Because of this, people like Jiaye are often rejected and feared by the world.

Because staying away from things that cannot be understood is an innate instinct of living things.

Therefore, perfectionism has never been a word used to describe ordinary people.

"Yeah."

In response, Kaguya just nodded and didn't comment.

She herself is somewhat of a perfectionist.

Because she has the ability to be perfect, there is no need for imperfection to appear.

"If you want to teach at the school, go ahead. That way I can get some interest in the school."

Before she knew it, she had finished the rice in the bowl while chewing slowly. Kaguya stretched out her little hand and handed the bowl to Kaya, saying lightly.

"That being said, it's still a question whether your school needs to hire another teacher."

He took Kaguya's bowl very naturally, stood up and walked to the rice cooker to add no more than half a bowl of rice for her, then handed it back to her. Kaguya shrugged and said.

"There aren't many teachers at Otoga Girls' High School, so if someone applies, the school should accept them."

Taking the bowl of rice that was just what she wanted, Kaguya nodded and said, not feeling that there was anything strange about their interaction, which was like that of a real family or a newlywed couple.

"But do you have a teaching license?"

"Have."

Thinking of the many things that Honkai Will had prepared for him, including the teacher's license, Jia Ye felt that he seemed to have stepped into another deeper pit while still remaining in the pit.

He had originally wondered why a tutor needed a teaching license. It turned out all of this was planned out. Really shady...

"....How old are you?"

After a long silence, Kaguya suddenly asked.

"18 is old."

Recalling the identity assigned to him by the Honkai Will, Jia Ye said.

Still younger than actual age...although older than physical age.
