I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

However, I could also use this opportunity to meet Kayako and try to clear up the misunderstanding between Saito Asuka and her.

With this in mind, he had an idea;

"You didn't coerce these students, did you?"

Please vote for me! I'm so grateful for all the recommendations and monthly tickets! (crying emoji) I'm a newbie and I really appreciate it!

(End of this chapter)

Does Chapter 21 require an application for funding?

Chapter 21... Do I need to apply for funding?

"what?!"

"What kind of person do you take me for? Am I that kind of person?"

Tomie Kawakami said righteously, "How could I possibly do such a thing!"

Hmm... that makes sense.

After all, with your abilities, you really don't need to use coercion or bribery. After all... even women can't escape her power.

However, Yoshizaki's true intentions were not what they seemed.

He had previously thought that Tomie Kawakami would find some ordinary classmates to be members of the Shaman Club, but he didn't expect that this guy would invite Kayako, the ancestor of all.

Although it's a bit far-fetched, considering that the latter doesn't have any special abilities yet, and that making more friends can alleviate loneliness and prevent him from becoming too gloomy, it's worth considering.

For the first time ever, Yoshizaki Kawa thought it was a good thing.

However, there is still one thing I need to do.

"It's not that the teacher doesn't trust you, it's just that the teacher wants to see the selected members in person, since applying for this kind of club is indeed quite difficult."

Upon hearing this, Tomie Kawakami gritted her teeth inwardly;

"That damned old man..."

You still don't trust yourself, do you? And you're putting on such a righteous act. If you don't believe me, just say so!

However, at this moment, circumstances are beyond our control; the right to establish this organization is in the hands of this old man in front of us.

Although she was extremely dissatisfied, she could only suppress her resentment and barely managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Fine! Then I'll bring them over!"

My sincerity is evident! From birth until now, I have always been the one in control, never the one being manipulated like this.

And now this guy who is immune to his own abilities not only rejects him, but also uses this kind of thing to threaten him;

I should have just found another teacher...

But the thought of finding another teacher would be tantamount to admitting defeat to this guy.

No, absolutely not!

This was something she, who had never suffered a loss before, would absolutely not allow!

"Hmm, how much funding does Tomie plan to apply for?"

At this moment, Yoshizaki suddenly asked;

He was calculating how much money he would need to contribute, and then applying for some funding from the school... although it was almost impossible for such clubs to get funding, and they basically had to pay for it themselves.

Yoshizaki was a little reluctant... but it was no big deal to spend some money to settle the two of them down all at once, especially since it was something he had promised before.

As for Tomie's previous claim that he would fully fund the project, he felt that as a teacher, he could not be so shameless...

"The teacher can probably give you a small subsidy, and then you can apply to the school... If you go through all that, you can raise 100,000..."

He was calculating the amount like an old scholar, trying to figure out how much he should take, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the latter.

"One million yen—I've said before that I'll fund it all myself!"

Tomie looked down at her with an air of grandeur: "It's just a small amount of money."

Yoshizaki Kawa, whose glasses had slipped off his nose from the shock, fell silent. He adjusted his glasses, opened his mouth as if to say something, but unexpectedly felt a little smug about not having to spend any money.

But then he quickly realized—

Damn it, how could I be so stingy?

This isn't like me!

I have to stand up for myself and not let Tomie look down on me!

"This...this isn't a good idea, is it? How about I help you apply for some school funding?"

however--

Tomie looked speechlessly at the stingy teacher in front of her, not knowing what to say for a moment. Although the latter seemed to genuinely want to help her, he was really, really stingy.

This reminded her of when she was "dating" this guy before, and every time they talked about going out to eat, he would hesitate and say that he had something else to do.

Every time I ask him for help, I hesitate and say that it's not a good idea.

So, after that, she seduced him for half a month, finally managing to coax him out of his house, and then... he took her to a ramen shop!

That's right, a bowl of tonkotsu ramen costing 130 yen! I still remember it vividly.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but show a hint of disgust.

Meanwhile, sitting at his desk, Yoshizaki noticed a hint of disdain in Tomie's eyes. She...she disliked him.

Damn it, I was clearly doing her a favor, wasn't I?

Besides, why not take advantage of the school's benefits?

"Need not."

Then, Tomie seemed to see through Yoshizaki's thoughts and added, "If the teacher wants it, he can apply for it, and I'll put it in the Shaman Society's ledger."

Upon hearing this, Yoshizaki's heart skipped a beat;

Oh no! This guy saw through his thoughts. He coughed lightly:

"Ahem, I never thought of that. Tomie, go and find the others and get this done as soon as possible."

"whispering sound!"

She rolled her eyes and then hurriedly left;

"Hmm, if I could apply for 50,000 yen... that seems pretty good, it's equivalent to a week's salary."

No, you bastard, what are you thinking?!

He patted his face, trying to clear his head. He was definitely influenced by the original owner of this body. He wasn't that kind of person!

……

"what?"

"Should I go too?"

Kayako was somewhat socially awkward; she had never heard that club members needed a teacher's approval to join.

"Who knows what that guy was thinking..."

Kawakami Tomie's tone was initially a bit sharp, but then, considering the latter's personality, she softened her tone: "Maybe it's because this club isn't as mainstream as a sports club!"

As soon as she said it, she was stunned again. Why should she consider other people's feelings now?

Previously, everyone had followed his lead, and he only ever used a commanding tone when speaking to others; he would never have interpreted things like this.

"never mind."

Tomie sighed and stopped thinking about it.

"So...when are we leaving?"

Kayako asked weakly;

"Now of course, it's the perfect time to take you to meet another member."

"Shall we... leave now?"

"and many more--"

Tomie Kawakami took out her phone, dialed a number, and it was answered almost instantly. Without any further ado, she said, "Come over right now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone;

Kayako, having watched Tomie's entire operation, was trembling with fear. Tomie... she's terrifying...

If I hadn't agreed beforehand, I might have gotten several beatings instead of just a simple beating.

"Alright, let's wait for her here."

Tomie plopped down on the bed with a carefree attitude, while Kayako didn't even have the courage to approach Tomie. She returned to her upper bunk in the corner and didn't dare to sit on anyone else's bed, instead sitting on the wooden ladder.

A few minutes later, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the dormitory and then stopped abruptly. A moment later, a polite knock came at the door: "Boss, can I come in?"

"Enter."

After receiving permission, the door was flung open, and a blonde foreign woman, panting heavily but with a high-spirited tone, raised her right hand and excitedly said:

"Report to the boss! Moriya Rie is here to report!"
