I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

However, despite what she said, it was almost visibly clear that her face was less tense and her tone had improved considerably.

"Huh? I want to make something as a gift for someone tomorrow because I made a mistake."

"what gift?"

"Hmm... a videotape, I want to rent a camera and shoot a video to send to that person."

Mako possesses the ability to alter the form of matter and can imbue objects with her spirit.

She had a sudden inspiration: if she could transfer some of her energy to the videotape and bring joy to the teacher who saw it, perhaps that would be a wonderful gift.

Furthermore, the mental rupture produces immense pain, and it is under such intense suffering that one can barely atone for one's sins.

"Alright... but it's rare for several members of our psychic club to be here, so I'd like to hold an event tomorrow night."

"what activity?"

"Keep it secret!"

Tomie played with the puppet's limbs, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Seeing that Tomie had cheered up, Mako... well, she was expressionless, she didn't show any expression at all.

……

Meanwhile, Kayako was still sulking because of what happened with Mako;

While sulking, she kept talking to herself, saying that tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the moon will be very beautiful.

I hope I can watch the moon with her.

However, Yoshizaki was considering a problem at that moment;

If I were to tell the principal now that he would be transferred back to his office, would the principal die a violent death?

With the principal's sudden death, the organizing committee will elect a new principal, and as a teacher of lower grades, I have absolutely no chance...

Wait, now is not the time to think about this.

The most important question now is, how do I tell Kayako about this?

Waiting online!

Chapter 96 Saito Asuka

Xiao Hei squatted proudly by the window, its vertical cat eyes staring at the plain gray bedding in front of it. After a slight hesitation, it stepped onto the bedding with one foot and followed with the other.

After stepping onto the bedding, it pressed down a few times with its paws, then stretched and sat down on it.

His gaze was directed to the other side, where a woman in pink pajamas was busily working in the kitchen.

Before its owner and the man left, they gave themselves to the woman, whose house was a bit messy. It searched for a long time before finding a place to sit down—on the woman's bedding.

Fortunately, this woman doesn't use cosmetics; she hates their pungent smell.

At that moment, Saito Asuka seemed to notice that the black cat had stepped onto her bed. Fearing that it might urinate on her bed, she quickly ran over and hugged it.

"You can't do it in bed!"

She placed the black cat in the nest she had built on the other side and warned, "If you go back to the bed, I won't open your canned food!"

Little Black hesitated for a moment, but thinking of the delicious canned food, it decided to reluctantly listen to the woman in front of it.

Seeing the latter obediently lie down, Saito Asuka couldn't help but chuckle. She hadn't expected her senior's cat to be so intelligent.

She ruffled Xiao Hei's hair haphazardly: "I'll go open the can for you."

But at this moment——

The black cat suddenly stood up, its eyes fixed on the view outside the window;

At that moment, Saito Asuka walked over to the can. It was a can of chicken that her senior had brought earlier, saying that the black cat especially liked it and that as long as it had this, it would obey her.

She initially didn't believe that the little black cat was so intelligent, but after spending time with it, she realized that it was indeed clever.

If she didn't find it difficult to support herself, she would also like to get a cat.

Just then, Saito Asuka seemed to hear a voice calling her from the shadows. She scratched her head, turned around with the can in her hand, but saw that no one was knocking on the door and there was nothing in the dark outside the window.

I must have misheard.

There are motion-activated lights in the hallways of the faculty dormitory; they turn on when someone walks by.

But in the next moment,

"Click, click, click..."

Voice-activated lights make a clicking sound when they are turned on because the spring controls their on/off state.

And at this moment, the lights outside;

One by one, they all lit up;

Saito Asuka paused for a moment, then walked to the window and looked out into the corridor.

Under the flickering lights, she surveyed the corridor outside; it was completely empty.

"This lamp needs to be repaired."

It's kind of scary to do this so late at night. Saito Asuka placed the can in front of Kuro, and only then did she notice that the latter was staring intently at the door, looking like it was about to explode.

Saito Asuka inexplicably thought of the stories in some horror magazines about cats being able to see ghosts, and for a moment she couldn't help but feel a strange fear in her heart;

As a literature teacher, she wasn't particularly convinced of materialism and was rather idealistic about many things.

She drew the curtains, no longer daring to look outside.

But at this moment,

"Boom boom boom——"

In the stillness of the night, the knocking was so clear, each sound seemed to strike her heart, making her heart pound violently. The palpitations and fear made Saito Asuka not dare to make a sound.

"Saito-sensei, are you there?"

The next moment, a muffled voice, which sounded like that of a familiar person, came from outside the door;

Saito Asuka didn't dare to respond at all. Who would bother to contact her in the middle of the night?

Even if it's someone I know, anyone who would dare to scare me like that must be an idiot. Let him stand outside, and I'll be in the right!

She picked up Xiao Hei, crouched quietly behind the bed, and stared at the door with her two frightened eyes.

At this time,

The doorknob suddenly started turning, faster and faster—

It was as if an impatient person was frantically turning the doorknob behind the door; at this moment, even the door itself began to shake.

Saito Asuka hugged Kuro tightly, and almost instantly, bang! The door suddenly opened;

but,

no one.

The door swayed open, letting in a cold wind. In the dim light, only the stair railing and the hazy lights of the distant teaching building could be seen.

At this moment, Saito Asuka was already terrified. If she hadn't had nowhere else to go, she would have stood up and fled frantically.

Outside the door, things seemed to have calmed down.

But the cold wind kept blowing, like the wailing of vengeful ghosts, the rustling of leaves, and the shadows cast out menacingly.

The fear was building up, and my taut nerves were like a string being pulled down on a musical instrument, ready to snap at any moment.

Meanwhile, the little black cat in her arms had calmed down. While the latter was in a daze, it rubbed its head against her chest and stretched out its paws as if trying to pry at something.

Saito Asuka felt a movement in her chest and suddenly remembered the thing her senior had given her. She trembled as she took out a strange stone statue necklace from her neck.

Almost instantly,

That inexplicable feeling of palpitation disappeared immediately.

"Meow~"

Xiao Hei struggled in her stiff embrace, then suddenly jumped onto the bed, concealing its merit and fame, silently licking the can of food on the side;

She stood there stunned for a long time before struggling to move her numb legs, limping and carefully walking to the door. She didn't dare to look at the scene outside, and then suddenly slammed the door shut.

After the door was closed, the temperature began to rise, and she gripped the warm necklace tightly, feeling a sense of security.

This necklace was given to me by Yoshizaki-senpai when he handed Kuro to me. I asked him what it was, but he told me to wear it all the time.

Although she had considered taking it off at times, she knew her senior must have had his reasons for doing so, and out of trust in Yoshizaki Kawa, she continued to wear it, which led to this incident tonight.

She sat on the bed for half an hour to recover before shakily taking out her phone to dial Yoshizaki Kawa's number.

Senior... Senior must know what really happened!

……

Yoshizaki was initially hesitant about whether to tell Kotoko to postpone it for another night.

After all, the matter of Kayako was extremely serious, and he didn't want the principal to die from a heart attack.
