Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 273 Casual Chat and Invitation

Tanaka Yumi transferred schools.

When Yang Liu heard the news, she found herself not surprised.

Although he could be considered the girl's savior in a sense during last week's suicide attempt, it is clear that his mother is not grateful to him.

Yang Liu even received a notification from Vice Principal Takeshita last weekend. Although he was also very angry, he had to relay the complaint about Tanaka Emiko to Yang Liu due to regulations.

In response, Yang Liu asked only one question:
"Will I pass my internship this time?"

Takeshita Naoto paused slightly at Yang Liu's question, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Of course it won't affect your internship grades. We're a legitimate school, and anyone with eyes can see it's not your fault."

"That's good. Since it won't affect my internship grades, will this complaint affect anything else?"

"This..." Takeshita Naoto pondered for a moment, "...would it affect your reputation?"

"That doesn't matter, I don't have that thing anyway."

And so the matter ended abruptly, with nothing to show for it.

After learning about the complaint against Yang Liu and Tanaka Yumi's transfer, Koizumi Rin rushed to the infirmary to express her dissatisfaction with Tanaka Mieko's performance and her concern for Tanaka Yumi's future.

"Teacher... Is Tanaka alright?"

Yang Liu turned to look at the anxious Koizumi Rin, paused for a moment, but decided to tell the truth:
"To be honest, she's definitely going to have problems."

"This……"

"Don't even think about it. Unless Tanaka can break free from her mother's control in a short time, she will eventually break down again under such immense mental pressure."

Yang Liu sighed as she spoke: "Even in psychological counseling, Tanaka Yumi's situation is the most difficult to handle. Many parents simply blame their children for various reasons without realizing that they themselves are the most seriously mentally ill patients."

"The most important principle of psychological counseling and psychotherapy is voluntariness. If you don't even have the will to change, then even the most brilliant psychology master is powerless."

"This..." Koizumi Rin couldn't help but clench her fists.

Yang Liu glanced at her, straightened up, and thought for a moment: "But you don't need to worry too much. I think Tanaka Yumi won't commit suicide again."

"Really?" Koizumi Rin's eyes lit up.

Yang Liu nodded decisively: "The main factor in her suicide attempt was the constant mental pressure, but fortunately, her nervous system has not yet developed any organic lesions, so through certain means, her suicidal tendencies can be temporarily suppressed—for example, her failed attempt to jump off a building a few days ago."

Koizumi Rin was puzzled: "Huh? Jumping off a building... how could it be suppressed?"

"Because of fear."

"fear?"

“As I mentioned before, Yumi Tanaka did not have any organic lesions, so she still retained a normal biological will to live. Most suicides are caused by momentary impulses, and many people regret their actions when they are truly facing death, but by then they no longer have the right to regret. But Yumi Tanaka is different…”

Koizumi Rin understood and continued along with Yang Liu's words: "So Tanaka-san has already experienced the fear of death, and in the short term, his will to survive will outweigh the mental pressure... But if it goes on for a while longer, when the mental pressure accumulates to a certain level, she will still choose this path!"

“But that takes plenty of time.” Yang Liu glanced at the calendar. “You’ll have less than a year to prepare for college entrance exams… Do you think Tanaka’s grades are good enough for a good university?”

"Tanaka-kun is second in the grade, he'll definitely get into Tokyo University!" Koizumi Rin clenched her fist.

"I've investigated. Her mother is a manager at a large local company, but unfortunately, that company only operates in the Kyushu region; it doesn't have any business in Tokyo..."

Yang Liu only gave Koizumi Rin a slight hint before she understood: "As long as she can get into university, Tanaka Yumi can leave that house, and then..." "As long as there are no major accidents, she shouldn't have any major problems afterward."

"Great!"

Yang Liu looked at Koizumi Rin, who was happily spinning around, and shook her head with a smile: "Alright, if there's nothing else, you should hurry back to the classroom, the bell is about to ring."

"Yes~"

Watching Koizumi Rin gracefully depart, Yang Liu's gentle smile slowly faded, followed by a helpless sigh:

"Won't there be any major problems? I hope she can hold on until then..."

Yang Liu's deduction was correct, but there was one thing he didn't tell Koizumi Rin.

When Tanaka Yumi jumped off the rooftop, she was very decisive and did not hesitate at all. Even Sasaki Sumi only stopped her for a moment.

Under normal circumstances, impulsive suicidal actions would not be so decisive, especially jumping from a building. Many people lose their courage the moment they step onto the roof and look down.

Since Tanaka Yumi did not hesitate at all, it means that the pressure accumulated in her body has far exceeded the limit, even overpowering her biological instinct to survive.

Based on Yang Liu's speculation, it is highly unlikely that Tanaka Yumi will survive until the time of the college entrance examination.

The reason I said that to Koizumi Rin was simply to appease her.

"After all, this girl is too kind; she can't bear to see people suffer..."

Yang Liu was powerless to help Tanaka Yumi in this situation; all he could do was comfort Koizumi Rin.

Yang Liu stood up and went to the window to look outside. On the playground, a group of students who were having a physical education class were gathered in twos and threes.

"This feeling of helplessness is really uncomfortable..."

Just then, Yang Liu's phone suddenly rang. He took it out and glanced at it, a look of surprise on his face.

……

……

The afternoon sun streamed through the café's glass windows, casting dappled shadows on the wooden tabletops, while the air was filled with the rich aroma of coffee beans and soft jazz music.

Yang Liu leaned back in her chair, her fingertips tapping absently on the table, her eyes somewhat vacant, as if observing the hurried pedestrians outside the window.

Sitting opposite him, Teru Yokota kept his head down, constantly fiddling with his phone.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps broke the tranquility.

As the doorbell rang, Uga Shoji hurriedly walked to the two of them.

"You're here? Tell me, what's all this secrecy about, that you had to come all the way to the city to talk to us?" Yang Liu's eyes finally focused.

Yokota Teruya raised his head at the opportune moment.

With a serious expression, Uga Shouji took a deep breath, stood beside the two men's table, and bowed deeply to them: "Please! I need your help!"
