I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

Her fingers trembled slightly. She lifted her head for a moment, but lacked the courage to continue. Instead, she grabbed the brim of her hat, sat on the edge of the bed, and whispered, "Thank you, teacher."

"By the way, how are you feeling? I touched your forehead earlier, and your fever seemed to have gone down."

Kayako realized that the dream she had of feeling a pair of gentle hands touching her forehead was real. She regretted not reaching out earlier.

"I...I'm fine now, teacher, don't worry about me."

"Then... I'll take you back?"

Yoshizaki glanced at the sky outside. It was already very late, and he couldn't possibly leave Kayako to stay overnight.

After all, there was only a man and a woman alone in the house. The laws of this era were very strict. If Kayako's father called the police, losing his job would be a small matter, but ruining Kayako's reputation would be a big deal.

"Um……"

She was somewhat reluctant and gave a soft reply; she really wanted to stay with her teacher forever.

But the teacher is an upright person, and he certainly cannot accept spending the night here.

Yoshizaki Kawa held a flashlight, took Kayako's medicine in his hand, and earnestly told her to take the medicine carefully.

Kayako lowered the brim of her hat to cover her eyes and nodded slightly.

The two walked forward side by side, with the black cat following behind. Kayako's hand trembled several times as she tried to hold Yoshizaki Kawa's hand, but each time she lacked the courage to raise it.

"Be careful, there's a ditch next to it."

At that moment, the latter reached out and grabbed her slender wrist, pulling her to the side and preventing her from falling.

Sensing that powerful hand about to leave her wrist, she slightly bent her fingers and grasped one of Yoshizaki Kawa's fingers.

Yoshizaki was taken aback, but did not refuse.

I walked silently over there.

About ten minutes later, the yard in front of the corner revealed a menacing shadow under the flashlight beam.

However, Yoshizaki then discovered that the gate to the courtyard had been open the whole time!

Furthermore, when the flashlight shone on the upper floor, it was clear that the windows on the third floor were broken.

Kayako's father was a scoundrel but a very cautious man; he couldn't possibly leave the door open all the time, and the glass was still fine in the afternoon.

So—did you encounter a thief?

Is Nagayako's father in any danger?

If there really is danger, wouldn't that be—a cause for celebration!

He thought to himself with a hint of amusement, but he still said to Kayako behind him, "Kayako, stand behind me."

Kayako, looking completely bewildered, nodded blankly, unaware of what had happened to her family.

Yoshizaki Kawa adjusted the flashlight to discharge mode, which could release high voltage electricity that could instantly cause someone to faint.

Then, they walked to the entrance of the courtyard.

Yoshizaki immediately noticed the broken sapling in front of him. When he shone his flashlight over it, he saw blood in the ditch beneath the sapling.

Upon seeing the blood, he inexplicably recalled the blood on the black cat's tail earlier;

But that was in the afternoon. What exactly happened here?

While Yoshizaki was pondering;

The normally quiet black cat suddenly bristled, arched its body, and hissed as if it had sensed danger.

"Little Black! Be quiet."

Kayako quickly picked up Kuro and looked at her teacher with some concern, whispering, "Teacher, should we call the police?"

Yoshizaki nodded: "I already called the police."

Japan has a one-button alarm device similar to a landline phone booth, which is usually located under streetlights. Yoshizaki Kawa pressed it as he passed by.

I came to the door now to prevent the thief from escaping.

After all, these futures all belong to Kayako's family property... Although I don't know why Kayako has to pay rent to Takeo Saeki in the novel.

He could only explain it by saying that the novel is different from the current reality.

The Japanese police arrived quickly; about half an hour later, the sound of police sirens could be heard.

As the police car pulled up beside Yoshizaki Kawa, two police officers immediately got out.

"what happened?"

"Officer, I suspect a thief has broken in; the windows and doors are open."

"And there was blood there."

Upon hearing this, the two police officers were taken aback, then exchanged a glance. One of them asked, "What is your relationship with this couple?"

“This is their daughter. I am her university teacher. She had a high fever and I took her to the hospital. Because I was afraid something would happen to her, I personally took her home.”

Seeing the two police officers looking at her, Kayako nodded repeatedly;

"Oh, I see. Your father accidentally fell from the third floor and is in the hospital now. You'd better go see him; that pool of blood is his."

Although they found it strange that Kayako, a college student, didn't have a cell phone, they didn't think much of it. After finishing their explanation, they didn't blame Yoshizaki for making a false police report, but simply asked if there was anything else they could do to help.

After Yoshizaki shook his head, they left.

At that moment, Yoshizaki glanced at the broken glass on the third floor.

Did he inexplicably fall from the third floor?

Although he felt gratified, he always felt that there might be something else going on. After all, that fat man was so timid that he probably wouldn't even dare to open the window and stick half his body out. How could he have jumped down for no reason?

Chapter 39 Targeted by the Soul Demon

Yoshizaki Kawa thought a lot, even about murder, but if it were murder, the latter obviously wouldn't still be alive.

What a pity.

"I should go up and check if there's any danger!"

Yoshikawa thought to himself.

After all, it feels rather dangerous to leave this door open all day; who knows if there might be criminals hiding inside.

Thinking of this, he looked down at Kayako and asked:

Can I go up?

She was taken aback and quickly said:

"Of course!"

Although her own place was a little messy, the teacher had already seen it, so Kayako was naturally fearless.

As they walked up the stairs, the black cat, which had been bristling with fur, calmed down in Kayako's arms and even started snoring.

Yoshizaki Kawa, meanwhile, held up a flashlight and searched everywhere, but after searching the second and third floors, he didn't see anyone suspicious.

But, at that very moment;

His gaze swept across the corner of the storage room, and the next moment, his eyes narrowed.

In that corner, some scraps of clothing and even traces of blood could be faintly seen!

Yoshizaki approached nervously with a flashlight, then suddenly pulled open the cabinet, only to find it completely empty.

He picked up the scraps of cloth. They looked like women's clothes. Was it Kayako's mother?

But why are there specks of blood?

He lowered his head in deep thought, but couldn't figure it out.

"My mother and father, they fight all the time."

At this moment, Kayako's weak words dispelled Yoshizaki's doubts. Well, it turned out it was just a fight.

So, this afternoon they had a fight, and then he accidentally fell from the building, and told the police that he accidentally fell?

hiss--

This couple really knows how to cause trouble.

Yoshizaki suddenly became worried about Kayako's safety.

After thinking for a moment, he looked at Kayako and said, "Kayako, I'll take you to get a SIM card tomorrow! I happen to have an old phone, so if you encounter any danger, you can call me directly."

"what?"

She paused for a moment, a hint of joy rising in her heart, but then, thinking of the price, she waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly: "How can this be? I, I don't have any money."

She really wanted a cell phone so she could add her teacher as a friend and keep track of him.

But this is just too expensive. I barely make ends meet with the money I earn, how can I afford such a large expense? Even if it's secondhand, I still can't afford it.

"You can pay me back the money after you start working, including medical expenses. Consider it a loan from me now."

Yoshizaki said, leaving no room for refusal.
