I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

"This medicine is highly toxic, especially after being soaked in water. It is absorbed by the human body very quickly. Once ingested, it will cause irreversible fibrosis, which is incurable."

Meanwhile, inside the comic book store.

"Make sure to keep it out of reach of children."

"Xiao Hei, I know I'm despicable, I'm a despicable bad kid, but this is the only way I can have happiness."

After confirming that there was no problem, they continued on their way.

"If we succeed, we can stay together forever!"

Left with no other choice, the boss contacted his friend who sold highly toxic rat poison.

Because rats have been appearing frequently in the shop lately, and the official medicine is too weak, he personally witnessed the rats eating it mixed with feed.

But Kayako picked the latter up and rubbed her chin against it, saying, "Little Kuro, be a good boy!"

Therefore, he was naturally very cautious about such matters.

The man took a packet of medicine wrapped in paper from the stroller.

The person selling rat poison cautiously warned the shop owner, mainly because if someone died, it would be difficult to get rid of the business.

"Ahem, I'm used to saying that. I'll be going now. I'll put the medicine on the cabinet for you."

But when she got up, the black cat grabbed her sleeve with its mouth, preventing her from leaving.

The shop owner leaned against the corner of the wall, and in front of him was a middle-aged man selling rat poison.

"You like him too, right? I love him, and I'm even more afraid that he'll abandon us."

And that so-called everything was only one step away from him.

"Uh-huh."

The boss placed the rat poison wrapped in paper on the cabinet. At that moment, he suddenly felt a strange discomfort in his abdomen, and just then, a message came in.

"Oh, sold two? This guy's getting shrewder and shrewder, selling two at once? Oh well, I'll just leave them here for now."

He placed the aphrodisiac on the other side of the counter and drew a diagonal line to distinguish it from the other side.

Unable to hold it in any longer, he went to the toilet.

Just as he walked toward the restroom, a strange wind suddenly blew through the store, and the paper bag containing the aphrodisiac was blown to the ground, with the round pills rolling into the cabinet.

At the same time, a piece of rat poison rolled off the paper bag containing the poison and landed right outside the opening of the bag.

The two medicines are almost the same color, making them difficult to distinguish.

A moment later, Kayako walked through the door somewhat nervously, and immediately saw the bag lying on the ground.

Politely, she immediately picked up the bag from the ground, and when Kayako saw the medicine on the ground, she didn't think much of it and put it in the bag.

After placing it on the counter, he then began searching for the owner inside the store.

Just then, she heard the sound of water behind her. Before she could ask, she saw a man walk out of the toilet.

"Little girl, would you like to buy a comic book?"

"Um, I'm here to pick up my medicine. My pickup code is 9281."

Kayako said weakly.

"Get the medicine?"

The man looked surprised, unable to believe that a girl would buy such medicine;

But the pickup code is correct, so it really was this girl who bought it?

He felt that his worldview had been severely damaged!

This shock prevented him from checking if the medicine in the medicine bag was correct.

As he wrapped it up, he looked at the pretty, seemingly delicate girl in front of him with a strange gaze. She didn't look like the kind of pervert she was!

Perhaps this is what they mean by "you can't judge a book by its cover"?

Do you really know what this thing is for?

Upon hearing this, Kayako's face immediately turned rosy as she grabbed the bag, realizing that picking up medicine in person was different from chatting online.

"I...of course I know. Goodbye, Mr. Manager!"

"I've never seen anything like this before."

Watching the little girl flee in panic, the shopkeeper muttered to himself. Then he opened the rat poison next to him, revealing apricot-yellow pills that emitted a fragrance.

"You damned rats, you're all dead now!"

"Wait? Why is there another one on the ground?"

The store manager picked it up and put it into a bag of rat poison.

……

at the same time,

Kayako fled out the door, clutching the bag tightly in her hand;

My heart was pounding with excitement. Tonight, if I just cook a meal for my teacher, my wish will come true.

She could almost picture the loving days she would spend with her teacher in the future.

She chuckled to herself twice, then cautiously made her way home, afraid of encountering the same crisis as before.

Once home, she began preparing the ingredients.

She heard that this medicine works best when taken with water, so she decided to cook a pot of thin porridge that night.

"What kind of clothes does the teacher like? Should I wear a skirt? Should I wear a bra?"

Kayako's face grew redder and redder as she thought about it, but she couldn't suppress her wildly racing mind.

In Kayako's notebook today, however, it's as if she has a split personality, with "I'm sorry" written frantically on the left and "I love you" written frantically on the right.

In the diary before meeting Yoshizaki Kawa, there are dense, bloody handprints that look like claws bared; upon closer inspection...

This handprint is composed of a series of "go to hell" characters.

……

During his home visit, Yoshizaki Kawa explored the entire villa, except for Tomie's bedroom.

He actually had Kotoko's talisman hidden in his pocket, which would heat up when there was a curse, and would even burn directly when it encountered a powerful curse.

Unlike Kayako, Tomie doesn't carry a curse.

Therefore, her own presence would not cause the talisman to burn, so she asked Kotoko to obtain this talisman, which was not very offensive.

Because it is not aggressive, it will not trigger Kayako's protection.

Yoshizaki Kawakami, who reacts to even the slightest curses, intends to use this to detect whether there is a curse in Tomie's house.

But after searching every part of the house, the talisman did not generate heat, and the villa was unbelievably clean.

But then she thought of the man who died tragically around Tomie, and the source of the curse that Kotoko had been searching for outside but couldn't find no matter what she did.

Yoshizaki is certain that the curse is definitely in the Tomie family's house.

Therefore, there is only one truth.

That curse might be in Tomie's bedroom!

At that moment, Tomie pointed to the door in front of her and said smugly, "This is where I live!"

"Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"You know this is a young girl's room, aren't you curious about what's inside?"

"Do not want to."

Yoshizaki knew Tomie's nature well; if he went along with her, she would definitely find all sorts of excuses to stop him.

But in situations like this, you just need to say the opposite.

She'll immediately beg you to come in.

Yoshizaki Kawa is quite adept at dealing with arrogant, submissive men.

As expected, Tomie's face stiffened after Yoshizaki Kawa said those words.

With a dark expression, she grabbed Yoshizaki Kawa's hand and opened the door;

"Come on, come into the house with me!"

Yesterday's carefully planned arrangement of various objects suddenly came into view, and right at the very front was an English dictionary!

Tomie seemed to deliberately pull Yoshizaki Kawa forward, displaying the English dictionary to him as if to show off.

"See, I study hard at home all the time! So even if you don't tutor me today, I'll study on my own."

"Uh-huh."

Yoshizaki Kawa casually put his left hand in his pocket, and with his right hand, he picked up the dictionary that had never been turned before, and took a step inside.

As Kotoko passed by the restroom, her talisman began to heat up slightly.
