I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

If it weren't for him, Yoshizaki Kawa wouldn't have done this.

The most crucial thing is—

But why does something feel so wrong?

At that moment, Yoshizaki noticed something amiss in Kayako's flustered expression;

Damn it, is there something wrong with this food?

If you cause an accident for the teacher—

He recalled what Kotoko had said earlier, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately stood up and grabbed the bowl that Tomie was holding high: "Stop arguing."

Upon hearing this, a fleeting look of worry crossed Kayako's eyes.

The fear I had felt earlier had subsided, and I felt a slight sense of pride instead.

After realizing something was wrong with the bowl of rice, he didn't dare gamble on whether it contained aphrodisiacs or other drugs.

Even if Tomie takes the aphrodisiac, given her psychological trauma related to that area, it will surely make her wish she were dead, and she might immediately start an unlimited dungeon.

If it's poison, then the problem is even bigger.

But at that time, through observation, he sensed that Tomie had begun to doubt something.

So, at that moment, Yoshizaki's mind raced, and he immediately came up with the idea of ​​using a cold as an excuse to evoke Tomie's sympathy.

He personally served them rice, which helped to dispel their mutual suspicion and hostility.

And he managed to make it seem reasonable for himself not to take this job, narrowly escaping this calamity.

At times, Yoshizaki couldn't help but pat himself on the back for his cleverness.

A meal that required a lot of thought;

Midway through, Yoshizaki Kawa felt the urge to urinate. He had heard that under excessive psychological pressure, people would instinctively produce various reactions.

He figured Kayako wouldn't drug him anymore, especially since Yoshizaki had seen her fidgeting under the table earlier. So he said, reassured, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"You're not going to skip out on the bill, are you?"

However, Tomie, who was quickly eating the sushi, asked a question without giving him any leeway.

Even food can't shut you up!

Yoshizaki grabbed the other side of the sushi and shoved it onto the latter's plate: "Eat up, I'll go pay the bill while I'm at it, okay?"

That Tomie will try to sabotage me even if it's the slightest opportunity. I'll teach her a lesson one day!

Hehe, watch out for your English exam the day after tomorrow!

Yoshizaki sneered inwardly and strode towards the restroom.

After Yoshizaki left, Tomie ate the sushi with great dissatisfaction, while at the same time glancing at Kayako.

At this moment, Kayako sat upright, holding a rice ball larger than her fist, and took a small bite.

Seeing Kayako's cautious demeanor, Tomie's eyes flickered slightly, and she gently nudged Kayako beside her with her shoulder;

Under Kayako's questioning gaze, she whispered, "Kayako, should we mess with that guy?"

"Huh? How could you have such a thought? We absolutely cannot mess with the teacher."

"It's not a prank, it's actually to help him. He has a cold, right? I happen to have a really bitter cold medicine with me. We'll crush it and put it in the sushi, and he'll definitely cry from the bitterness later!"

Tomie grinned mischievously, her heart pounding with anticipation at the thought of Yoshizaki Kawakami's face contorting in a grimace.

Hearing this suggestion, Kayako made a face: "Then Tomie-kun, why don't you just give it to the teacher directly? Playing pranks like this is not good..."

Upon hearing this, Tomie snorted lightly: "Kayako, I am the president of the Shaman Club, you have to listen to me!"

"Besides, there's no harm in it!"

Kayako was forced to agree due to Tomie's tyranny.

At this moment, Tomie Kawakami took out a capsule from her pocket and carefully poured the powder onto the paper;

She then gently sucked the medicine into her mouth using the straw. The next moment, the medicine was in her mouth, and she sneezed. Caught off guard, she lost her balance and fell backward.

Kayako reacted quickly and caught Tomie in one swift motion;

But she didn't notice that the packet containing the "aphrodisiac" slipped out of her pocket and fell to the ground;

Tomie glanced gratefully at Kayako, savoring the bitter taste in her mouth. She stuck out her tongue, then gulped down a large glass of water before picking up the piece of paper from the ground and peeling back the other pill.

To avoid repeating her previous mistake, she was very careful this time, only sucking in a small portion before spitting it onto the Yoshizaki River sushi.

A layer of white powder appeared on the sushi, and as if that wasn't chewy enough, Tomie added a lot more wasabi to the sushi.

Then, she put the thing on a plate, concealing her wicked intentions, and sat back down.

Kayako looked up with some concern. She felt that her teacher might be brought to tears by the spiciness, and decided to remind her later.

After using the restroom and paying the bill, Yoshizaki Kawa walked over and plopped down on the side.

He didn't notice that the sushi on top had been touched.

Just as he was about to pick it up, he noticed that Kayako's gaze seemed a little strange.

Then he saw Tomie hiding with a wicked smile on her face. Yoshizaki was taken aback at first, thinking that it was Kayako poisoning him again, but now it seemed that it wasn't.

A slight sense of relief washed over me. Tomie's prank?

It's nothing more than adding some wasabi and soy sauce.

Under Tomie's expectant gaze, Yoshizaki decided to grant them this momentary pleasure and gently took half a bite of the sushi.

The next moment, a bitter taste came over them;

"Bah, bah, bah -"

He pretended to be unaware and kept saying, "Why is it so bitter?"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 143 Poisoning

Yoshizaki pretended to be unaware, threw the sushi onto the plate, and his face turned into a mask of pain due to the large amount of wasabi and bitterness.

Good heavens, Tomie is ruthless! So much wasabi! I should have known better than to play these little games with them!

Yoshizaki felt a tingling sensation on his scalp as he experienced a rich variety of sensations in his mouth.

"Hahaha, Yoshizaki Kawa, you've fallen for it!"

At this moment, seeing Yoshizaki's disheveled appearance, Tomie stood up triumphantly, hands on her hips, and said arrogantly, "I added a lot of wasabi and a bitter pill taken from a cold medicine to it!"

"Is it delicious?"

Seeing her teacher looking distressed, Kayako felt a pang of sadness herself and handed her water cup to Yoshizaki Kawa.

"Teacher, we didn't mean to lie to you with Tomie. Quickly drink some water to wash away the bitterness!"

"Don't give him water; let him suffer through the bitterness!"

Tomie was simply enjoying the spectacle; she had already stood up from the bench just to observe Yoshizaki's frowning face.

At the same time, Yoshizaki took the cup, took a sip of water, rinsed his mouth, and then spat the water into the trash can next to him.

For some reason, he felt a slight numbness and tingling in his tongue.

Yoshizaki pushed up his glasses, feeling his eyes getting foggy and his surroundings becoming somewhat blurry.

Especially my scalp, probably because of the wasabi, felt numb and itchy, and I could only feel a cool sensation rushing upwards.

He could also faintly feel a warm flow coming out of his nasal cavity. He grabbed the edge of the table and swayed slightly.

Tomie...himself? ! !

She frantically rummaged through her pockets, but all that remained was some powder; the note was long gone.

At that moment, Kayako's heart skipped a beat. She had just stood up when Yoshizaki Kawa, who was swaying in his chair, leaned against her.

and so--

At that moment, Kayako, whose head was buzzing, noticed a note on the ground.

Note?

But why did it turn out like this?

The medicine, it's that medicine!

Kayako hugged her teacher helplessly, not understanding what had happened so far.

She looked at Tomie in front of her.

"sorry Sorry sorry……"

Trembling, she took out her phone and, with tears streaming down her face, recounted what had happened in a sobbing voice;

She didn't understand how things had turned out this way.

Yoshizaki's vision was starting to blur; he knew he had been tricked by the Curse of the Ninja.

"It's just cold medicine..."
