I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

From any perspective, Yoshizaki Kawakami did not want Kayako to become the Ju-on of the future.

Upon hearing this, Kayako fell into thought;

Things related to oneself?

She thought about it for a long time, but still didn't know what she needed.

To be honest, she did have a slight desire to buy the old clothes worn by Yoshizaki Kawa, but even if she just said it out loud, she would be considered a pervert, right?

Although she did have a little bit of that herself, she didn't want her teacher to know.

Seeing Kayako's furrowed brow and deep in thought, Yoshizaki Kawa coughed lightly: "By the way, this is a task. The teacher hopes you will spend it all, but I won't ask you where the money went. I believe Kayako is an honest and good child."

Her eyes lit up immediately upon hearing the word "mission".

All her previous hesitation vanished instantly. Kayako nodded heavily and replied, "Yes!"

At that moment, Xiao Hei raised its tail high and jumped from the windowsill onto Yoshizaki Kawa, rubbing against his arm obediently.

Seeing this, Kayako felt a little jealous;

Xiao Hei had never been this affectionate towards me before, nor had my teacher.

Damn it, the two guys she wanted to hug the most are hugging each other now!

Although I felt a pang of jealousy, I was still secretly pleased that they could get along harmoniously.

……

Meanwhile, at Tomie's home.

When Tomie learned from that guy that he planned to visit her home the next day, her first thought was—to refuse!

Reject that guy firmly, so that he feels the same frustration he did before.

But, cough cough

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Tomie also had a tiny bit of a desire to see that guy on a boring Saturday.

So, reluctantly, considering Yoshizaki Kawa was somewhat sincere, Tomie agreed to the request.

then--

At night, Tomie Kawakami wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the wet mop at her feet, and wondered how the thing could be cleaned so quickly, yet the floor was covered with her footprints again.

Although a cleaning company was hired to clean in the afternoon, there were still some paw prints in the house because of that wretched Yoshizaki No. 2 dog.

Just thinking about this made Tomie furious!

She glared fiercely at the golden retriever sitting in its doghouse next to her, looking aggrieved, and then rearranged the panda plush toys on the counter that were facing different directions.

Sometimes, Tomie feels like she's Yoshizaki Gawa No. 2's mother, feeding it dog food, cleaning its poop, and grooming its fur every day.

I also have to give it a bath occasionally...

"Yoshizaki Kawa, call me Mom."

"Wang Wang!"

She angrily rubbed the dog's head, then continued cleaning up the paw prints inside the house.

Just then, the golden retriever seemed to sense something. It stood up from its kennel and stared intently out the window with its huge eyes.

The next moment, almost without hesitation, it barked loudly at the window.

"Woof, woof, woof—"

In its eyes, a black infant's head had appeared at the window in front of it, and was now staring at its master with a fierce look in its eyes.

Meanwhile, outside the window.

The cult leader dared not approach the house, because he noticed a piece of white paper pasted on the corner of the house;

On the white paper was a seal that read "Kotoko's Seal".

If a ghost touches the barrier, it will definitely alert Kotoko.

Although his strength had greatly increased due to absorbing that terrifying demon, he was still somewhat intimidated when facing Higa Kotoko.

—A few years ago, I tried to summon the Lord.

But that time, because of the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, Kotoko's bottom line was crossed. She arrived with her magical artifact and forcibly sent the undescended master back to hell.

She also seriously injured herself; if it weren't for the fact that she was protecting the pregnant woman, she might not have been able to escape.

It was precisely because that battle left him with a shadow that, although he said he wanted to have a go at Kotoko, he was actually just putting on an act in front of the cultists.

Let them know that their leader still has backbone.

But if he really wanted to confront her head-on, he would have gone straight to her based on the traces of the talisman she left at the scene. Why would he be slacking off in that tunnel?

So when he saw the white talisman in front of him, he hesitated.

After a moment, he let out a long sigh;

"Fine, I'll let you off the hook tonight since I'm not in good shape. I'll kill you in my dreams tomorrow!"

He was saying this to himself, and also to the evil spirit he had merged with.

After saying that, he stayed where he was and waited for a while. When he found that his will was not disordered, he knew that his excuse had convinced "himself". He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly floated back to where his body was.

……

Tomie slapped the dog's head hard.

"What are you yelling about? You scared me!"

Because it's a villa, she's not worried about disturbing the neighbors.

The main thing was that her golden retriever suddenly started barking at the window for no reason, which startled her so much that her heart skipped a beat. When she came to her senses, she didn't even dare look out the window. She first slapped the golden retriever...

Then, pretending nothing was wrong, he walked to the window and quickly pulled the curtains shut.

He then gripped the mop tightly, strode forward, and slammed the bedroom door shut. Only after the darkness of the living room was out of sight did he breathe a sigh of relief.

I put the mop aside and carefully shrank into the quilt, not daring to breathe. Because I was wearing clothes, the quilt quickly became hot.

She curled up inside the blankets, took off her clothes one by one, and squeezed out through the gaps.

Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief.

But at this moment,

The phone suddenly rang, the ringing sound like a death knell. Tomie threw back a corner of the blanket and, with lightning speed, grabbed her phone from the charging dock and slipped it into the bed.

In winter, the phone gets cold, and even a slight breath under the covers will blur an inch of the screen.

The contact "Yoshizaki Kawa" was displayed on the green screen.

After hesitating for a moment, Tomie pressed the call button.

"Tomie, I'm sorry, something's come up here tomorrow and I might not be able to come. Can I come on Sunday?"

Listening to Yoshizaki's voice, Tomie thought about her hard work all night, and she even changed the direction of all the dolls.

As it turned out, this guy just didn't show up, and she felt that all her hard work and anticipation all night had been in vain.

But Yoshizaki's next sentence made her pause for a moment;

"We just found a body on a fire hydrant outside. I need to go to the police station to cooperate with the investigation. I'm so sorry."

At this moment, all of Tomie's previous dissatisfaction turned into worry. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then... are you and Kayako alright?"

Kayako is her underling, so it's normal for her to care about her. Yoshizaki was just asking casually! Tomie didn't want to admit that she was worried about that guy!

"It's nothing, just cooperating with the investigation."

Upon hearing this, Tomie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, on Sunday, since you're so sincere, I can accept it if you're not coming to tutor me in English..."

"Beep beep beep."

At that moment, the phone rang with a busy signal.

Looking at the busy line on the screen, Tomie gritted her teeth in hatred. She would never open the door for this guy on the weekend, and she would even have Yoshizaki Kawa No. 2 bite him!

……

Yoshizaki covered Kayako's peeking eyes with one hand, and then made a phone call to Tomie with the other. He then carried the curious Kayako from the doorway into the house with one hand.

"Children shouldn't watch these kinds of things; they won't be able to sleep at night."

After leaving those words, Yoshizaki Kawakami, ignoring Kayako's aggrieved gaze, closed all the windows and curtains.

He then went outside and closed the door.

Ahead, the headlights of police cars illuminated the area as if it were daylight.

The body was discovered by an elderly woman who was taking a walk; she fainted from fright.

The daughter-in-law noticed that her grandmother hadn't returned from her walk, so she went out to look for her. When she saw her grandmother, she screamed and fainted on the ground. Only then did Yoshizaki Kawa hear the commotion outside.

The fire hydrant was about 50 or 60 meters away from Yoshizaki Kawa's house. Because it was dark and he had never been this way before, he did not notice the body there.

Hearing screams outside, he came out in shock and called the police.

After a forensic examination, the body was found to be very strange.
