I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

“The dog that bit me has now been reduced to ashes by me. Look, there’s even a cremation certificate.”

Yoshizaki rummaged in his pocket for a while and finally pulled out a roll of black bags. He then remembered that he had taken the garbage bags from the crematorium. He had originally planned to use them at home, but since he had brought them with him, he might as well use them here.

"I lost the cremation certificate, but this is a bag I took from the crematorium."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tengfei almost burst out laughing;

"puff!"

"Senior, the way you tell jokes with such a serious expression is really funny."

"Why would I lie to you? I spent 100,000 to burn that dog to ashes! Grind its bones to dust, you understand?"

"Hahaha, you're saying you'd be willing to spend 100,000 yen to cremate a dog?"

Saito Asuka burst out laughing. This was the funniest joke she had heard all year: the stingy Yoshizaki-senpai was willing to spend 100,000 yen to cremate a dog.

"Alright, senior, please stop making me laugh. If I laugh out loud thinking about your jokes during class later, I'll lose all my dignity!"

"Okay, wait until I find the cremation certificate..."

He sighed at Saito Asuka's foolish naiveté; she actually thought she was a good person—it was ridiculous. He walked to his office and was just about to sit down when the police station called.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Yoshizaki Kawa?"

"I'm."

"The autopsy is complete. When would you be available to bring Ms. Kayako Kawamata to handle this case?"

"The main issue is the remains of Ms. Kayako's parents, which are currently stored in a cold storage facility. It would be best if you could take the remains away as soon as you finish signing the papers."

"Let them stay in the morgue for a few more days. I'm a little busy right now."

"Miss Kokaya..."

"She's busy too, I'll hang up now."

I have to go retrieve the magic artifact this afternoon, and I'm injured like this, so how can I have the energy to deal with those two corpses?

Bringing them back would require a funeral, which would be troublesome. Let them lie there for a while first.

We used to argue every day, and now that we've finally had some peace and quiet, wouldn't it be better to stay a few more days?

Despite thinking this way, Yoshizaki still took out the business card from the crematorium and dialed the number.

"Hey, when are the stoves usually less busy at your place?"

"It's you again, kid?"

The shop owner seemed to recognize Yoshizaki Kawa and was taken aback. He quickly asked, "Bited by a dog again? If it's you, I'm ready to burn this place down anytime."

Yoshizaki Kawa felt that he was being insulted, but he couldn't find any evidence. However, the important thing at the moment was: "This is really annoying. My landlord died. I was thinking of getting a few garbage bags from you for free, so I referred some business to you."

"Okay!"

The shop owner laughed immediately: "This time I'll give you a few extra rolls of garbage bags, kid. When are you coming to burn them?"

"Oh, right... that's it, I wanted to ask you something."

Yoshizaki asked sincerely, tentatively:

"Can the second one be half price?"

"?"

The crematorium owner slowly typed a question mark, instantly thinking of destroying evidence:

"Are you fucking trying to kill me? I've called the police. I advise you to watch your step and not go astray."

"Wait, let me explain first."

After much effort, Yoshizaki finally explained the matter clearly. After a moment of silence, he finally gave his bottom line: "I can only give you a 15% discount and give you five rolls of garbage bags."

"Okay, I'll come find you on Saturday."

"By the way, are there any discounts for student IDs?"

"roll!"

After hanging up the phone, Yoshizaki wrote a sentence on a sticky note: "Cremating Kayako's parents on Saturday, insisting it was six rolls of garbage bags."

After sticking a sticky note under his desk, Yoshizaki glanced at it and realized there were still various things to do, one by one.

I previewed the lesson before class.

Before class, he glanced at Tomie's seat. It was strange that she had come to school, which was unusual for her.

Not to mention being bitten by a dog yesterday, she can openly say things like "I'm sad because my fingernails aren't trimmed properly, and I want to ask for a day off" right in front of me.

After the class ended, Yoshizaki walked to Tomie's desk;

"Come to the office."

This is a humorous post—please don't take it too seriously.

Chapter 60 Bust of the minor character

"What do you want? You've figured it out, haven't you? But now—"

Inside the office, Tomie was touching the money in her pocket, about to launch into a tirade, when Yoshizaki took out a key and forcibly shut her up: "The Shaman Society has been approved. The total budget is 500,000 yen. Every use of the funds must be approved by me, and every event must be approved by me."

"Did you hear that?"

Bombarded by a barrage of information, Tomie, still somewhat dazed, nodded blankly.

"and many more--"

As if struck by a thought, she stood before Yoshizaki Kawa and exclaimed, "How did it become 500,000 again?!"

"These were all applied for by your teachers with great effort."

"Tsk,"

Tomie gave Yoshizaki a disdainful look, then grabbed the keys: "You actually lied to me, but considering you saved me yesterday, I'll let it go."

Yoshizaki was not angry at Tomie's sarcasm. He believed that the truth would prevail. He was just a little curious as to why Tomie had not asked for leave.

"You didn't ask for leave today, which is unlike you. Could it be that I've influenced you and you've realized that studying hard is the only way out?"

Upon hearing this, Tomie's face showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. She actually wanted to ask for leave... but...

"Someone died near my house. Well, it's not that I'm afraid of corpses, it's just that I feel it's a bit unlucky, so I don't really want to go back these past few days."

Hearing this, coupled with Tomie's seemingly indifferent but actually cowardly tone, I was immediately struck by the words.

Yoshizaki Kawa almost burst out laughing.

Okay, okay, Tomie is afraid of ghosts, you should remember that.

However, considering the latter's extreme fear of death, it's not entirely incomprehensible. After all, to be so afraid of death as to drive one's own evolution, one's will to fear death is simply too strong.

"So you'll be staying in the dormitory during this time?"

The school does have dormitories, but they are mainly for students from other places. Students who study nearby usually commute.

They only rest in the dormitory at noon, so there are still seats available for them.

Seemingly noticing the mockery in Yoshizaki's eyes, she said angrily:

"Are you suggesting I stay at your house?!"

"That definitely won't work."

Tomie's words about staying at his house sent a chill down Yoshizaki's spine. The thought of Kayako at home made him feel as if a death star was hanging in the sky, and he quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, how's your wound now?"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of panic crossed Kawakami Tomie's eyes. She gripped her jeans and said, "What's it to you! You were more seriously injured than me yesterday. I should be the one asking you that!"

Tomie didn't dare let Yoshizaki Kawa know that her wound had healed on its own in a very short time after she returned home yesterday, and now it hadn't even left a scar.

If Yoshizaki Kawa knew that he was such a monster, what... what would he think?

Should I send myself to the research institute for biopsy? Or—

She dared not think any further.

Tomie is extremely timid and insecure.

Even though Yoshizaki had gained a certain level of trust from her compared to others, she still didn't dare to tell him about her unusual behavior.

Seeing the evasive gaze from the other side, Yoshizaki's heart sank. Has Tomie already begun to have such a powerful self-healing ability?

From her eyes, it was clear that something had changed in her wound. Considering that she had walked normally before, it was impossible for her to walk so easily with a piece of flesh missing.

So it must have healed itself.

Luckily, I burned that dog; otherwise, I might have really turned into Tomie.

The thought flashed through his mind, but he pretended not to know, stood up, and looked down at Tomie: "Teacher's body is a naturally strong physique. What's a little injury to you?"

Tomie was about to retort when she looked up and saw Yoshizaki's right hand wrapped in bandages. She hesitated for a long time, wanting to thank him for yesterday, but seeing his appearance, she couldn't say the words.

He could only snort coldly, then took out 100,000 yen from his pocket and slammed it on the table;
