I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

The dean originally wanted to bring it back as well, but the old and frail dean was unable to do so, so he could only pull himself out of the sea.

From the tattered sign, he could barely make out that his mother's name was something like Yamamura, so he named himself Yamamura Mako.

Of course, she doesn't care what her surname is; her given name is just a label.

Mako Yamamura had no interest in any of these things.

Back at the orphanage, seeing the elderly director with white hair still cleaning, Mako handed the money to him.

“Mako, you’re going to university soon, so you should keep this money for yourself.”

The dean put down the broom, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "The hospital didn't have much money left, so I can only give you two thousand yen. Everything else is up to you."

"The school provides subsidies."

"If you want all my food, clothing, and lodging covered, I'll find a way to make money in the future."

Hearing the girl's cold voice, the old dean sighed and warned, "You can't use your ability to make money anymore! The city is not like our countryside. Once you use your ability and get caught, you'll be doomed!"

As someone who had watched Mako grow up since she was a child and had even witnessed a "miracle," the headmaster naturally knew that the girl in front of him was no ordinary person.

In fact, he never said a single thing to the girl;

That is--

The girl was indeed on the stone statue, but in reality, the statue also had two mutilated bodies, a man and a woman, hanging from it. Their bodies were riddled with bullet holes, and their arms and legs had been broken.

Even the baby himself was shot at least three times in the body and once in the face.

Even so, the child was still able to cry out, and even squeezed the bullet out of the wound right in front of him;

Afterwards, he checked the information and found that a riot seemed to have occurred on an extremely remote island, but that island was several hundred kilometers away from here;

This means that the child, shot three times, carried the idol and drifted hundreds of kilometers across the sea to reach this place.

Furthermore, that deity is "En no Kozuki," the ancestor of all Onmyoji.

So for him at the time, it was like a miracle from heaven, which is why he adopted her.

Perhaps because of the gunshot wound to her face, even after it healed, she was unable to make many expressions, and had always had a cold, expressionless face since childhood.

The dean also knew that this child was cold on the outside but warm on the inside; he was just not good at expressing himself.

She used all the money she earned from her part-time jobs to fill the gaps in the welfare home, and sometimes she would secretly collect bottles.

It was freezing cold, and he saw it all every time, and it pained him deeply. But he knew the child had a strong sense of pride, so he could only pretend not to know.

"I can do odd jobs, I don't need to use my skills."

"That's what Mako Yamamura said."

Upon hearing this, the dean knew he couldn't persuade her otherwise, but he still stubbornly slapped the money into her hand.

"Study hard so you can become a college student and earn more money. After all, you're the only one in our department who got into college!"

Many of the children here are actually quite good, but there's no other way... He can't afford to pay for everyone's tuition. Perhaps he has some kind of expectation for this "god's" child, which is why he grits his teeth and supports him through high school.

Mako no longer refused, her face still expressionless, and she simply said one word: "Okay."

……

After get off work, Yoshizaki Kawa prepares to buy Kayako a new outfit.

However, when I saw the latter's appearance;

Yoshizaki knew he should never expect her to make her own choice.

I estimate that she will hesitate to choose or refuse outright for a long time. Kayako's personality is similar to social anxiety, but her condition is several levels worse than social anxiety.

So, based on my own aesthetic sense and observations of the latter, I decided to go to the clothing store and buy her a few outfits myself.

"Kayako, here's the key. The teacher will be home late tonight."

In the office, Yoshizaki handed the keys to Kayako. He didn't mention buying her clothes, because he knew that if he did, she would immediately try to explain that she wasn't cold at all...

That's just Kayako's personality.

Upon hearing this, Kayako paused for a moment, then asked timidly, "Will the teacher come back for dinner?"

"That's for sure!"

Hearing this, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up her backpack and took her keys, and walked back.

Just as she was about to leave the office, Kayako saw Saito Asuka-sensei walking towards Yoshizaki-sensei's office from the side.

Chapter 65 Misunderstanding

When she saw Saito Asuka-sensei walk by, Kayako paused for a moment, quickly hid the key in her hand, and hurriedly walked away with her head down, as if afraid that Saito-sensei would see that she had just come out of the office and was still holding Yoshizaki-sensei's key in her hand.

If Saito-sensei misunderstands, the teacher will definitely be troubled, right?

I can't let my teacher get into this situation.

cannot……

Kayako, carrying her schoolbag, stood at the school gate, looking at the crowd in front of her. There should have been teachers beside her.

At that moment, she suddenly wondered what her teachers were doing.

Smelling the mature scent emanating from the teacher's sweater, a perverse idea involuntarily arose in my mind;

—Spying?

No, what would the teacher think of me if I got caught?

But once that thought arises, it's like a river about to overflow; once the dam breaks, it's hard to stop it.

Kayako was forced to confront her own conscience, shocked and ashamed that it was so vile.

She tried to suppress this malice, but—

"But what if we're not discovered? We... can glimpse the teacher's secrets, and even see them..."

When an evil thought arises, one suddenly feels the vastness of the world.

A trembling mix of excitement and inner turmoil caused Kayako's face to flush slightly.

She made up her mind to secretly follow the teacher.

Let's see what they're actually doing!

……

Saito Asuka, wrapped in a cotton coat, stood with her hands in her pockets until she reached the office door. Only then did she reluctantly pull her hands out of her pockets and knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Yoshizaki was about to leave when he suddenly received a text message from Saito Asuka, asking him to wait for her after get off work, as if she needed to talk to him about something.

So he chose to wait in the office for a while;

As soon as she walked in, she unzipped her jacket and pulled out a file folder from inside: "That old bastard principal asked me to give you the ledger of the previous donations and the bank card. That guy, he's been here several times himself, but he doesn't give them to you personally. Instead, he makes me run errands for him."

Because of the cold weather, she didn't want to carry the file folder around, and she wasn't really into carrying a shoulder bag, so she simply stuffed the folder inside her clothes.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was clearly a beautiful girl but always acted so carefree, Yoshizaki couldn't help but advise, "Saito-sensei, I think you should sometimes pay more attention to your image."

I vaguely remember that in the beginning, when she treated me to a meal, she was completely unkempt.

Now her outfit is even more shocking: she's wearing a thick, oversized top and pants that look like pajamas on the bottom.

She looks chubby overall, like a little fat girl, but her small face gives her a cute, girl-next-door vibe.

"Image?"

"How much money do you have? Can it be eaten?"

"And also—senior, don't underestimate this outfit of mine. My mom made it herself, and in terms of warmth alone, even designer clothes can't compare!"

"That is indeed true..."

Sometimes you have to admit that as long as you're good-looking, even if you wear weird clothes, you can still show off a unique kind of beauty.

If someone isn't good-looking, wearing this kind of clothing makes them look like a bulky goblin; if it's slimming, they look like a skinny goblin.

Yoshizaki put the document away; he could vaguely guess why the principal had chosen Saito Asuka to deliver it.

Is it because of the previous rumors that they want to match me up with the school and then manipulate me?

He could almost picture that scene—you wouldn't want your xxx to get fired, would you?

However, the principal clearly miscalculated something again: he and Saito Asuka had absolutely no other relationship whatsoever.

Chun Chun is just a friend and colleague.

"By the way, Saito-sensei, do you know if there are any clothing stores around here that specialize in selling girls' clothes? The kind with good quality."

At this moment, Yoshizaki Kawa realized that he was basically familiar with men's clothing stores and had no idea what women's clothing stores were, so he asked.

"what?"

"Why are you buying women's clothes, senior? Could it be... you have a girlfriend?"

A hint of curiosity appeared on her face, her eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge: "Which teacher at the school?"
