Is it really only possible to be a bystander?
That doesn't seem to be the case!
As Shi Chen pondered what would happen in the future, he suddenly thought of a possibility that could grant him magic power.
I wonder if that saintly young girl is still here at this time.
......
"Teacher Shi, aren't you going to play with us?"
"No, I don't want to sweat today."
"OK then."
At the time when he declined Yase Motoki's invitation, he was sitting by the basketball court with Aiba Asagi, and of course, there were quite a few other girls around him.
Today, Asagi Aoba was different from the previous PE classes; she wore black-rimmed glasses, which obscured her pretty face.
"Aren't you guys going to play?" Shi Chen asked the other girls.
"We don't want to sweat either."
"Yeah, it's getting hotter and hotter."
Although they all said that, they surrounded Shi Chen, practically clinging to him.
She's still just a young girl, how come she has such thoughts on her mind?
"You can't avoid sweating, I'll be teaching tennis next class," Shi Chen said with a smile.
"It's okay, sweating once in a while is fine."
"Exactly, you'll break a sweat no matter how many steps you take."
"It's not like you don't need to take a shower."
“You guys…” Shi Chen shook his head, speechless.
A physical education class passed quickly, and Shichen stayed with the girls watching Yase Motoki and the others play basketball by the basketball court.
However, he was basically the only one watching; the girls' attention was all on him.
The hourlight seemed to radiate light; her beautiful features, unique temperament, and smiling face captivated them.
At a young age, during the hormone-producing stage, in the budding of youth, it's the perfect time to be captivated by handsome men.
Moreover, Shichen is a physical education teacher, and this is Itogami Island, where humans and demons coexist. Having been exposed to a lot since childhood, they have become more open-minded.
It's only because this world values strength that these young girls would be so likely to encounter bad men.
Lan Yuqianci stood next to the girls for the entire class, unable to get close to Shichen to chat with him, since her persona in the class was that of a quiet and aloof girl.
The main reason was that she had been worried about her mother's condition.
However, even if she breaks her own persona, it's useless; she simply can't squeeze in.
After PE class, Asagi reluctantly went back with everyone, while Shichen went back to the office alone.
Misaki Sasaki had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Toki-kun, would you like to go have lunch together?"
"Okay," Shi Chen nodded in agreement.
"Great, let's go!"
"Row."
Shichen followed Sasaki Misaki to the cafeteria, and on the way, he sent a message to Nanami Nagatsuki, asking her to come and have lunch together.
However, she had something to do and was no longer at school.
At this time, the Fourth True Ancestor had not made any move, so Shichen was not worried about her.
And it's perfect timing; he can go somewhere to check things out after lunch, since it's his work hours now and it's not considered wandering around.
After having lunch with Sasaki Misaki, Tokimatsu declined her suggestion to stroll around the campus together and left the school alone, heading towards the back mountain of the school.
Behind the private Saikai Academy is a small hill with a small park in it, a secluded place surrounded by green trees.
As Shichen stepped onto the foot of the hill, his exceptional hearing detected a faint yet noisy cat meow.
The cat's meow was soft, and you could tell it was young, maybe only a few months old, and it was in a place like this, so it was probably a stray cat.
Suppressing his anticipation, he slowly made his way up the hill.
On the hilltop, a small park surrounded by green trees came into view. Through the park, Shichen saw a gray building that had been reduced to ruins.
"Meow~"
"Meow meow~"
The cat's meows became more distinct.
As time passed through the small park, they arrived at the ruined building and were drawn to the metal reliefs on the roof.
That was a symbol formed by two intertwined snakes—the messenger's staff.
This place was originally clearly a church.
"Um...who are you...?"
Just then, Shi Chen was drawn by a soft question and couldn't help but look over.
His eyes were filled with that head of silver hair as white as snow.
Chapter 51: Yeze Natsune
Shi Chen's gaze was drawn to the petite girl in front of him.
The words "Saintess" immediately came to mind. When he faced her in person, he realized that she truly lived up to the name.
The girl had a gentle smile on her face, which was like a breath of fresh air, making people forget about the terrible surroundings.
She also clearly seemed out of place among those around her.
Her snow-white hair, her pale blue eyes that shimmered like the light of a glacier, her indescribable aristocratic air, her pure and refined beauty—she seemed otherworldly.
Her delicate face was quite youthful, but her height was not like that of a child, which should be related to the fact that she was different from Japanese people.
The girl was wearing a short-sleeved uniform, which Shi Chen recognized as the uniform of a nearby elementary school.
In other words, she was still just a primary school student, but she had grown into a graceful young woman with features as mature as a middle school student.
"Um..." the silver-haired girl reminded her again.
"Sorry." Shi Chen snapped out of his daze and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry to have bothered you."
"It's nothing..." The silver-haired girl lowered her head shyly, whether she was amazed by Shi Chen's appearance or it was just her personality.
"Little girl, what are you doing here?" Shi Chen asked knowingly.
"I... um..." The silver-haired girl looked at the stray cat circling around her feet, hesitant to speak.
"I understand. You're here to feed these kittens, right?" Shi Chen said gently.
"Um......"
"Don't worry, I'm a teacher at Caihai Academy. My name is Shichen. I was just bored, so I came here to take a look around," Shichen explained softly.
"So that's how it is." The silver-haired girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, then looked up at the time and revealed a faint smile.
"Hello teacher, I am Natsune Yase."
She seemed to believe Shi Chen's words immediately.
"Yase-san, did you adopt all these stray cats?"
"Hmm... it should be fine, right?" Natsumi Yase looked at Tokichi cautiously, as pitiful as a little animal.
"Of course, no problem. At least I think it's no problem."
"Thank you, teacher."
"Why are you thanking me?" Shi Chen shook his head, amused.
"Um..." Natsumi Yase lowered her head shyly.
"Speaking of which, how do you manage to keep so many cats all by yourself?" Shichen walked towards Yese Xiayin, about a meter away from her, squatted down, and looked at the cats around him.
There are seven in total, mostly black and white, some are snow kittens, some are black kittens, and some are mixed, but there are also two orange kittens.
Each one looks quite clean, and their fur is fluffy and soft, making them very cute and tempting to pick up and pet.
“I don’t need to take care of them. I just come to check on them occasionally.” Natsumi Yase also squatted down.
She noticed that Shichen seemed to really like the kittens, and he smiled gently.
"Occasionally?" Shi Chen looked at her and blinked.
"I'm sorry, it's every day." Natsumi Yase pursed her lips shyly and honestly admitted.
"You don't need to apologize to me. This isn't my territory. But why did you bring these stray cats here to raise?"
"Actually... this used to be a monastery, and I was adopted here."
"So, this place is actually your territory now?" Shi Chen said jokingly.
"No, no, no." Natsumi Yase quickly waved her hand, "This place isn't mine, I'm just borrowing it."
"Haha, just kidding. This place is abandoned. Feel free to use it."
"...Teacher seems to have a bit of a bad intention." Natsume Yase looked at him, embarrassed and annoyed.
"I'm so sorry, as compensation, how about I help you take care of these stray cats?"
"Huh? Really?" Natsume Yase asked incredulously, her eyes wide.
Her gentle expression finally changed; it seemed she truly cared about these kittens.
"I'm not kidding, I love kittens too. I can't resist them. If my family didn't forbid it, I would have taken one home to raise."
"Teacher, thank you so much!" Natsumi Yase immediately stood up and bowed deeply to Shichen.
"No need to thank me, I'm doing this for myself."
