I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

Yoshizaki thought it was just a gift the girl had casually made to express her gratitude for his help, so he didn't think much of it and thanked her with a smile.

Seeing this, Tomie revealed a wicked smile. She cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, Yoshizaki Kawa, this is a precious gift that the three of us worked together to create. It also contains the most sincere words that Mako wants to say to you."

"So you'd better turn it on when you're alone at night, otherwise it would be a waste of the three of us working on this all day!"

Ok?

Yoshizaki had a vague feeling that something was wrong. He glanced at the gift, and although he couldn't tell anything from Mako's expressionless face, he could tell from Tomie's cunning appearance that it was definitely not a good thing!

Could it be—a prank?

He looked at Kayako, who was the easiest to break through, and sure enough, she avoided his gaze and dared not meet his eyes.

Hmph, Yoshizaki couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking that this mere child's prank could scare him?

It's so ridiculous!

You should know, your teacher is someone who can remain unfazed even when facing a corpse!

Forget about spiders and cockroaches; even if it's terrifying inside, it definitely won't scare you!

So he put the box away and said with a smile, "The teacher will definitely open it when he's alone late at night."

"it is good!"

Tomie slammed her hand on the table, seemingly already able to imagine the scene when Yoshizaki Kawa turned on the videotape that night, and she couldn't wait any longer;

It's a pity I could have seen it with my own eyes in person;

She felt a little regretful, wondering whether she should invite this guy to open the gift at his villa, but after thinking it over, she realized that he would definitely not agree and might even laugh at her.

Hmph, I won't fall for your tricks!

The group of students boarded the school bus together with the classmates who had arrived earlier.

Mako sat obediently in the front, with Tomie beside her;

Kayako unexpectedly mustered up the courage to sit down next to Yoshizaki Kawa. She clenched her fists, seemingly a little nervous.

She looked up at the person next to her, and the next moment, she was slightly taken aback, a hint of heartache flashing in her eyes;

Sitting next to her teacher, she immediately noticed that the teacher looked pale and tired.

The teacher worked all night so that he could pick us up today. He worked so hard. The principal is awful!

Kayako had already pictured Yoshizaki working all night and getting up early the next morning to catch the train here.

It's all the principal's fault!!

The journey of several hours is always tedious, long, and makes you drowsy.

Furthermore, due to the nightmare of the previous night and the considerable mental exhaustion, Yoshizaki Kawa appeared tired in the car;

At this moment, Kayako seemed to have made a decision;

Her face flushed, and she said cautiously, "Teacher, if you are very sleepy, you can lean against me and sleep for a while."

Kayako originally wanted Yoshizaki to lie on her lap and sleep, but she was too shy to say it, and besides, it would be too much of a move to attract attention.

Because I'm huddled by the window, no one will notice even if I'm like this;

"This is troublesome, Kayako."

Yoshizaki was indeed exhausted. The night of fighting, nightmares, and painful wounds on his body were all wearing down his spirit.

After all, I'm just an ordinary person.

He leaned on Kayako's thin shoulder, smelling the familiar scent, and slowly closed his eyes;

Kayako sat up straight, her posture upright. This was the first time her teacher had been so close to her. Feeling that familiar presence, she tilted her head slightly, her cheek pressed against Yoshizaki Kawa's head, feeling the strength of his short hair.

We are embracing each other.

The scent of happiness spreads between them;

If only this were a car that kept moving forward and never stopped;

……

"Teacher, we're almost there."

Yoshizaki Kawa was shaken awake by Kayako, and looked at her apologetically: "Sorry, I fell asleep."

"No...it's okay."

She blushed as she spoke, silently repeating to herself:

"If it's a teacher, they can sleep indefinitely."

Yoshizaki looked out the window. The school was already visible in the distance. After driving for another ten minutes or so, the car stopped.

After getting off the car and saying a brief goodbye, Yoshizaki Kawa returned to his office.

Before I could even sit down properly, I saw Saito Asuka-sensei walking over, clutching a necklace and looking very nervous.

She walked over, quietly closed and locked the door, then placed the necklace on the table, a strange excitement on her face.

"Senior Yoshizaki, is there something you're hiding from me?"

"Ah? What's the matter?"

"For example, you are actually a descendant of an exorcist family, possessing extraordinary power, secretly protecting this city from ghosts and monsters, and then you guessed that I would be possessed by ghosts and monsters a few days ago, so you gave me this necklace to protect me?!"

"Or perhaps, you appear to be an ordinary teacher, but in reality, you are a member of a mysterious government organization, and the reason you are disguised here is actually for a secret mission?"

Looking at Saito Asuka's eager gaze, Yoshizaki Kawa remained silent for a while. Damn it, if you take these words out of context, they're actually quite accurate!

He was determined to protect the world, and he had indeed guessed that he was being haunted by ghosts—

But this damn problem is my fault! If it weren't for my contact with him, Saito might not have been entangled by the Po-Xu Demon.

At one point, he felt like he was deceiving an innocent young girl.

For a moment, I felt a little guilty;

So he said guiltily:

"Don't criticize me unnecessarily. I'm protecting the world, not just a small Saitama Prefecture in Japan."

Chapter 111 Videotape

Saito Asuka: "..."

She paused for a moment, then glanced at Yoshizaki Kawa.

"--Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it, but I'm still curious how you knew I would get into trouble?"

how could I know?

Haha, I'm the one who brought this all out!

Of course, this shouldn't be said to Asuka Kito, otherwise she'd probably block him.

"It seems I can't hide it anymore, but I'm only telling you these things."

Looking at Saito Asuka's expectant gaze, Yoshizaki said in a heavy tone, "To be honest, the reason I came to this school incognito is actually to seal away several demon kings. Once they break free, the world will be destroyed."

"And now, one of the Demon Kings has been destroyed, the one from last night."

"Although you make it sound very convincing, and I did experience something very strange yesterday, for some reason, I have a feeling that you are just fooling me."

Saito Asuka knew the personality of the senior in front of her. Every time he spoke with such seriousness, it was definitely a lie, and he would stare into your eyes to make you think he was telling the truth.

Demon King, Savior? These are all too outrageous. Saito Asuka knows that what happened last night was strange, but it shouldn't be this absurd!

Seeing that Yoshizaki was unwilling to reveal the truth, she pushed the necklace towards him.

"Actually, I'm here to return this necklace. Little Black ran away in the middle of the night yesterday, and I searched for it for ages, but it came back on its own. It's probably still fast asleep right now. I'll take it back to you tonight."

Yoshizaki grabbed Okabe's necklace and opened his hand: "It's yours."

Yesterday, after Kotoko learned that Makoto had sold the necklace to her for 190,000 yen, she gave her 300,000 yen as compensation with a dark expression.

Therefore, even if he gave it to Saito Asuka, he didn't feel any heartache at all;

Moreover, the latter almost collapsed because of his own fault, which was all his fault, and he still felt guilty.

I won't need this thing anymore. The Po-Xu Demon has been destroyed, and I still have Kayako's bracelet to protect me.

"You really want to give it to me?"

She seemed somewhat surprised, after all, Saito Asuka knew Yoshizaki Kawa's personality; he was a miser who wouldn't spend a penny, yet he was willing to give her something that looked particularly precious.

"In your eyes, am I such a stingy person?"

Yoshizaki said somewhat irritably, but Saito Asuka nodded obediently.

The two looked at each other and remained silent for a while before Yoshizaki Kawa said, "This was a free gift from someone."

Upon hearing this, Saito Asuka immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had received a satisfactory answer. She nodded with satisfaction: "Then I'll accept it, senpai. I have class to attend, so I'll be going now..."

She grabbed the necklace and then happily ran out of the office.

If Yoshizaki-senpai were to become generous, he might even suspect that Yoshizaki-senpai had been possessed by that strange demon from yesterday.
