I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

In a strange, intuitive way, she felt that the wavering memory was very important.

In the end, only the deepest impressions remained.

A teacher saw this scene on the way and followed, helping Kurosawa Sashige.

"What happened?"

Soon, inside the medical room.

The female doctor performed emergency treatment, and it was only after about ten minutes that she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Teacher, is she alright?"

Yoshizaki asked impatiently, "Kurosawa Sae is the only way I know about Tomie's past experiences."

He was naturally afraid that something might happen to him.

"We just checked her heart rate and blood pressure, and the nosebleed is probably caused by high intracranial pressure. She shouldn't move around too much right now. Let's wait for the ambulance to arrive."

The medical room is only equipped for emergency use, so it is not fully equipped.

Faced with this situation, the female doctor had no other choice but to take certain measures and wait for a proper ambulance to arrive.

"You guys go back first. Leave things here to me."

Helpless, Yoshizaki could only take one last look at Kurosawa Sae, who was lying quietly in front of him, before leaving with a heavy heart.

On the way back, Yoshizaki thought to himself;

"It seems that my direct questioning will cost her her life."

I wonder if dying in Tomie's dream was a true death or a return from reality?

But he didn't dare to gamble; even if he returned to reality, he would lose an important source of information.

However, Yoshizaki also gleaned some information from what Kurosawa Sae had just said;

Kurosawa Sae was slit in the throat and should have died, but because of Tomie, she ended up in this dream. At first, she knew it was a dream, but soon her memories were replaced by the memories of the dream, which is why she wanted to ask me to take her out.

But there are actually two points of doubt here;

First, she didn't know Kurosawa Sae, but she knew herself and Tomie.

She had even guessed that she had come to this dream world because of Tomie.

what does this mean?

This means that in reality, Kurosawa Sae knew about herself and Tomie, and might even know that Tomie had an unusual identity and possessed special abilities.

Furthermore, she possesses a certain level of strength, capable of resisting the erosion of the dream for a short time.

If an ordinary person were pulled into this dream, they would probably become a character in the dream the moment they woke up.

Connecting these pieces of information, a faint thread began to emerge in Yoshizaki's mind.

Kurosawa Sashige is likely not an ordinary person in reality; she was killed by having her throat slit in a battle with other special ability users.

Tomie saw it later, and in her terror, Tomie thought that reality was a dream and the dream was reality, so Kurosawa Sashige was taken into the dream.

No, that stimulation probably isn't enough for Tomie.

After all, neither the incident in high school nor the incident with her father had motivated Tomie to use this ability.

Therefore, Tomie must have been deeply involved in this matter, which would allow her to more directly feel this fear and truly unleash her abilities.

Therefore,

The special ability user who killed Kurosawa Sashige, and at least one of them had their eyes on Tomie, perhaps even kidnapping Tomie during Kotoko's downtime, and then using their ability to kill Sashige in front of Tomie? Or perhaps they tortured and murdered her.

So, in extreme fear, Tomie stopped believing in reality?

All of this information was deduced by Yoshizaki from Tomie's previous message and Kurosawa Sae's few words, with Tomie's message being the most important.

One of the original quotes is: "There is nothing extraordinary in this world, no assassination in the dark, no battle, no splattering hot blood that wakes me from my dream."

This statement corresponds perfectly to what Sae Kurosawa said.

The combination of supernatural abilities, assassination, and torture terrified Tomie to the extreme, making her believe that this was a dream, and that her real self had committed suicide in high school, and that everything that had happened since was just a dying fantasy.

Thus, her abilities created this dream.

There may be some discrepancies in the details, but this should be the general idea.

"If this is the reason for deceiving myself and constructing a dream, then all I need to do is let her know that this is the real illusion, and the dream will crumble on its own?"

So, the most important question.

I am the character in her dream. How can I make her believe that what I am saying is true and that this dream is false?

There's only one answer: keep increasing your favorability rating.

She scrolled through it to the extreme, until she had 100% trust in herself and even loved herself.

Then--

He committed suicide in front of her.

Of course, I will not die, or the possibility of dying is extremely small.

Because once Tomie feels that this place is an illusion, then her power of thought will not believe that she is really dead, but that her death is just a death in a dream.

Therefore, one's own death ≠ true death.

Inequality instantly solves the problem!

Sure enough, the version of myself in the dream was just an idiot, unable to even think of such a thing. It's laughable that the big guy was reckless and that Kurosawa and his gang were dim-witted.

Having figured out a solution, Yoshizaki's mood immediately improved.

As for how to increase favorability?

This kind of operation is not something that can be easily accomplished by me.

The current Tomie is clearly not the academic failure she was in real life. When I was showing off in math class, Tomie's gaze clearly showed that she was looking at me with new respect.

Next, please welcome the academic genius, Yoshizaki Kawa!

In short, Jiba!

……

In Kayako's room in the dream.

The girl, her forehead covered by a damp towel, trembled slightly before slowly opening her eyes.

Seeing the glaring sunlight outside, she couldn't help but squint.

The conflicting memories in his mind flashed by, and when all his memories were searched and found "childhood friend with Yoshizaki Kawa", the conflicting memories quickly accepted the new setting.

"elder brother……"

She murmured to herself, her right hand unconsciously touching her forehead, which had gradually calmed down.

In Kayako's memory, she had a high fever yesterday. Her usually gentle brother impatiently placed a damp towel on her forehead and then went to his room to sleep.

My brother had never done this before he went to high school.

But ever since he started high school, my brother has been obsessed with writing a woman's name and drawing a woman's portrait in his draft textbooks.

Kawakami Tomie——

Even the drawing of himself that he had drawn by hand was carelessly discarded like trash the day before yesterday.

Late at night, he went out in the rain with a flashlight to retrieve the portrait from a trash can.

This is why I developed a high fever.

Kayako struggled to get up, then stared blankly for a while before numbly and slowly opening the drawer.

At this moment,

A crumpled, stuck-together pencil sketch is pasted at the bottom of the drawer.

The paper was now completely dry, and the pencil marks, washed away by the rain, had become a mess. The once clear portrait had now turned into a dark, indistinct figure.

This was a birthday gift my brother gave me before. His voice and smile seemed so close, yet now they felt so unfamiliar.

Seeing this scene, a tear silently slid down Kayako's cheek;

She gripped the drawer tightly with both hands, as if that had exhausted all her strength.

……

In reality, Kayako, curled up in a ball, also had tears streaming from her eyes.

Chapter 195 A Time to Show Off in English Class

"Hello, a latte, please."

Teacher Heisei, or perhaps Yoshizaki Kawa in my dream, had an English lesson plan tucked under his arm and ordered a latte outside the school.

"Heisei-sensei?"

Just then, the bald math teacher saw Heisei ordering coffee and skillfully took out a cigarette from his pocket, casually offering it to him. Heisei took the cigarette, flicked it unconsciously, then put it in his mouth again, refusing the lighter the math teacher offered.
