I work as a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 248 Finally, the story of Yu Gongye came to an end ([-])

"Mahiru, let's go."

"This body is here."

"Well, it's really night again."

"Ah."

"Speaking of which, it's been so long, why did Mahiru let you out as soon as he saw me?"

"Who knows." Xiaoniao You Maya said without caring.

On the side, Kotori Yumahiru didn't care about the conversation between the two at all, didn't even look at them, and walked her own way with her head down.

Because when the two of them switched identities just now, she suddenly thought of a question - when did she get used to the existence of Maya so much?

Now, as long as Uwano appears, there is no need to communicate between her and Maya, and Maya will go online directly.

Well... time is indeed a very powerful thing.

It's only been one semester, yet she is completely used to Maya.

Mingming thought about letting her go at the beginning—even though she didn't know how to get rid of her.

After deciding to let her stay, it was just to deal with Uwano.

But now, not only Maya, but also Uwano, who has been looking for her every day since last semester, she has to get used to it.

So it's really amazing.

In the past, Kotori Yumahiru never believed that she would be so used to others.

"That's right, Zhenya, I want to tell you one thing - I seemed to see you at noon today."

"Isn't this body always there?"

"I mean, I saw two real nights... no, two real days, no... should I say, one real day and one real night...?"

Uwano struggled with what to say.

"Well... Anyway, I saw you next to Mahiru."

"..."

The little bird Yu Mahiru who was distracted suddenly heard such words from the side.

She blinked, looking at Maya and Uwano who were walking beside her.

"Really?"——Maya was as puzzled as she was, "Did you see this body next to Mahiru?"

"Yeah, wearing a black dress, leaning bored against the wall—isn't it?"

"..."

"..."

Mahiru and Maya looked at each other, and Mahiru also took a special look at the skirt on Maya, it was a black Lolita.

Xiaoniao Youmaye continued to ask: "Did you really see this body?"

"Yeah, and—" Uwano nodded accurately, "Actually, I vaguely saw it a few days ago, but I thought it was because I was too tired and had hallucinations."

"But I saw it for the next two consecutive days, counting today, this is already the fourth time."

"..." Both Maya and Mayu didn't speak, Uwano continued to speak in a slightly excited tone.

"I didn't expect that I could see Zhenhiu and Zhenye at the same time. It shouldn't be a hallucination, right? This time today, I feel that I can see it quite clearly, so I told you."

"..."

"Maynight, what's wrong?"

"...It's nothing." Yumaiya, the little bird who came back to her senses, shook her head, and then she pointed with her eyes, "Then can you see Mahiru now?"

"Mahiru?" Uwano followed Maya's gaze, "Is Mahiru here? Hello—but I can't see it."

"Is that so..."

"But maybe just like now, one day I will suddenly see it."

"..."

In Uwano's sight, Mahiru shrank her neck subconsciously.

……

"Maya, tell me, what happened? Why were you seen?"

After bidding farewell to Uwano, Kotori Yumahiru, who regained his visible entity, looked at Maya beside him suspiciously.

Maya's face was a bit solemn, this was the first time Kotori Yumahiru saw such an expression on her face.

"Is it only Uwano-san who can see it, or is there anyone else?" Because Maya didn't answer her, Mahiru asked again.

This time Maya opened her mouth, and the seriousness on her expression also disappeared, calm as usual, but she still didn't answer Mahiru.

"I don't know this body, let's talk about it later."

"Oh."

Kotori Yumahiru responded.

……

Got home.

Because he often forgot to bring the key, Kotori Yumahiru, who didn't bring the key at all, rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door was opened.

"I'm back...Mom?"

When opening the door, Kotori Yumahiru unexpectedly discovered that the one who opened the door for her today was actually her mother—normally it should be——

"Where's Aunt Gonglin?"

Kotori Yumahiru glanced inside the door, there was no one else but her mother.

Xiaoniaoyou's mother frowned slightly, with a worried look on her face.

"Mahiru, I'm back—Miyabayashi suddenly asked for leave because of illness, and I'm still in the hospital, so I just came back from the company."

"Eh? Sick? What's wrong? Is it serious? Is Aunt Gongbayashi okay?" Xiaotori Yumahiru walked into the house and asked several questions in succession.

Gong Lin was invited by her mother to take care of her. After all, because of her busy schedule, her mother was always at the company and had no time to come back to take care of her.

"I don't know why... anyway... well, it's okay, it's not serious, don't worry." Her mother took her backpack, "For tonight, I'll cook."

"……Oh."

……

Gong Lin's illness did not seem to be very serious.

"Aunt Gonglin? Are you cured?"

When school was over the next day, Kotori Yumahiru, who came home, saw Miyarin who opened the door and appeared behind it.

"Yes, it's ready."

Although her face was still a little bit haggard, Gong Lin still tried her best to smile, welcoming her back.

"What is the disease... is it okay?" Kotori Yumahiru asked.

Gongbayashi swept Mahiru's body up and down, then put the slippers to her feet, and took the schoolbag.

"Because... no, it's okay, maybe I'm too tired, but I've had a day off yesterday and I'm already much better, so it doesn't matter."

"Is that so...?"

Kotori Yumahiru looked at Gongbayashi suspiciously, but said nothing more.

"Thank you." She put on her slippers.

……

However, things don't seem to be that simple.

"Mahiru...Maya, what's wrong?"

As soon as Uwano's voice appeared in his ears, Kotori Yumahiru went offline at the speed of light and let the Mayatop come up.

Maya looked at Uwano Kiri Hotaru who walked in from not far away, and waited for her, until she arrived in front of her.

"Why did Mahiru look worried just now?" Uwano asked Mahiru.

"Aunt Gong Lin, who has been taking care of her at home, is sick again."

"again?"

"Ah."

"Eh... is it serious?"

"Probably." Mayu glanced at Mahiru who was not very interested.

"It'll be...it'll be fine."

The atmosphere became a little heavy, and Uwano and Maya stopped talking.

……

"Crack."

It was rare that Kotori Yumahiru, who had brought the key with him, opened the door of her house with the key.

"Is Mahiru back?"

"Ah."

When the door was closed, my mother's voice came.

"How is Aunt Gonglin?"

"Still in the hospital."

"..." Xiaotori Yumahiru, who lowered his head to change his shoes, saw several pairs of shoes at the entrance.

"Is someone at home here?"

"Ah...well, yes." Xiao Niaoyou's mother replied with some anxiety.

'Who is it? '——Mahiru just wanted to ask this question, but she didn't need to ask any more, she could already smell a strong sandalwood fragrance at the tip of her nose, and an indistinct sound of chanting rang out in her ears.

"..."

She looked into the living room, and what she saw were several priests and monks, with their heads bowed and muttering to themselves.

"..." She looked towards her mother, who avoided her sight and said vaguely, "Mahiru, are you tired? Go sit on the sofa and have a rest?"

She came forward and took her hand.

"..."

Maybe there was really no excuse for saying something like resting in the living room.

In the living room, Yumahiru, the little bird held by her mother, sat on the sofa, surrounded by several monks.

The sound of chanting came one after another.

"Don't worry, it's okay, this is the method that my mother recommended to get rid of fatigue recently..."

"..."

Kotori Yumahiru could feel the slight sweat stains on her mother's hand holding her.

It all made her uneasy.

She bit her lower lip and looked around.

Zhenye is not around.

……

How long did the chanting last?Kotori Yumahiru didn't know.

She only knew that by the time it was over, she was exhausted.

After casually finishing dinner, Kotori Yumahiru returned to the room as if wanting to escape——

but……

"Well, Mahiru, tonight... Mommy will sleep with you?"

"..."

……

The light in the room had been turned off, Kotori Yumahiru was lying on the bed, carefully looking at his mother who seemed to be asleep in the dark.

Then, she gently lifted the quilt, held her breath, and slowly sat up.

Maya, where are you now?
After getting up, she looked around anxiously, trying to find that figure in Lolita that always appeared suddenly in the night.

"Mahiru, what are you looking for?"

"..."

Kotori Yumahiru froze, turned her head and looked at her nervous mother.

"……nothing."

……

The next day, it was already the weekend, Aunt Miyabayashi returned home, and Kotori Yumahiru's mother, even though Miyabayashi had already returned, still did not go to the company.

Xiao Niaoyou stayed at home, accepting the sudden care of his mother.

The weekend passed quickly.

"Mahiru, good morning, Maya, good morning—huh?"

"..."

Kotori Yumahiru, who walked with his head down, met Uwano again when he was in school.

Uwano chased up from behind energetically, but when he got to Kotori Yumahiru's side, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

"...Mahiru?"

She looked at Xiao Niaoyou beside her suspiciously, and opened her mouth tentatively.

"..."

Kotori Yumahiru had a very bad expression on her face, and she nodded stiffly, almost like a walking dead.

"……Eh?"

After being dazed for a while, Uwano exclaimed after regaining his senses.

"Is it really Mahiru?"

"..."

She rejoiced.

But soon, in joy, she still found Mahiru's complexion getting worse and worse.

"Mahiru...? What's wrong?"

she asked with concern.

"Did something happen? Also, where did Maya go?"

"..."

Kotori Yumahiru did not answer Uwano's question.

Because, she doesn't know the answer, and...

Mahiru and Uwano are actually not familiar with each other.

Kotori Yumahiru lowered her head and walked into the class without saying a word.

……

"Mahiru."

"..."

"Mahiru?"

"..."

"Mahiru—"

From recess, to lunch break, to evening after school, Uwano has been running to her side.

Kotori Yumahiru, who had been in a daze all day, finally responded to her after school in the afternoon.

She raised her gaze and scanned Uwano's face.

There was an anxious look on her face.

"Mahiru? What happened?"

"..."

Kotori Yumahiru took a breath.

She held out her hand.

Uwano glanced blankly at Mahiru's hand, hesitated for a moment, then extended his hand, placed it under Mahiru's hand, and spread it out.

A ball of something was thrown into her palm, and immediately after, Kotori Yumahiru left Uwano without looking back and walked away quickly, disappearing into the crowd.

Uwano was left standing there looking at his hands——

This is a crumpled piece of paper, unfolded, there is such a text:
"Thinking about it, when you saw this note, you should have understood it, right?"

"Because this body interferes too much in the present world, it can now be observed by some people in the present world."

"First, some close people, such as Qieying, such as your mother, such as Gonglin. After that, there will be more people."

"Qieying has known the existence of this body for a long time, so it is naturally fine."

"But... Aunt Miyabayashi at home, and Mahiru's mother..."

"They face this body, this existence that has the same appearance as you, Mahiru, but acts and dresses very differently, and is always by your side, suddenly appearing."

"After observing it, it is natural to feel panic."

"Indeed, Aunt Gonglin has already been hospitalized twice because of this body."

"Mahiru's mother is also troubled by this."

"Actually, I expected this to be the case a long time ago, but I still can't make up my mind."

"To this day, when a monk appears in the house, this body will know."

"It's time to say goodbye."

"Before the situation continues to deteriorate and this body has not fully appeared in this world, let's say goodbye."

"—Little Bird Youzhenye, stay."

"..."

In the evening light after school, Uwano was stunned as he read the note that Xiaotori Yumahiru handed her.

Wait until the wind blows and blows the crumpled note to the ground.

Uwano Kiri Hotaru came back to her senses and hurriedly picked up the note.

Zhenye...disappeared?

I haven't seen her for a weekend, and she just disappeared?
She digested the news in astonishment.

……

……

……

"Mahiru, Mahiru—"

Early the next morning, Uwano Kiri Hotaru stood at the gate of the campus, waiting for Xiaotiaoyou's arrival, and when she saw her coming from a distance, she hurried up.

But before she got to the front of Kotori Yumahiru, she saw that Kotori Yumahiru took half a step back, and continued.

She lowered her face and couldn't see her expression clearly. She could only hear her words, knocking on her eardrums along the morning air.

"Uwano-san, the Maya you were looking for is not here anymore, please go back."

"..."

It turned out that the person who talked with Uwano was Maya, not Maya.
