I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

After breathing a sigh of relief, he came up with this idea.

Mako felt guilty towards Yoshizaki Kawa, but showed no anger in the face of this. She simply picked up the pen that had broken earlier and said to Yoshizaki Kawa, "Teacher, it seems we successfully summoned the Ouija board spirit. However, when I asked about my background, the spirit seemed to get angry."

"First and foremost, there are no ghosts in this world."

Although he has to attend an exorcism ceremony tomorrow, it doesn't stop Yoshizaki from being stubborn in front of Kayako, Tomie, and Mako.

"If the pen tip breaks off, just imagine, all three of you are putting half your weight on the pen tip. It would be a miracle if it didn't explode!"

"But teacher... the Ouija board really did answer questions just now, and it even said it was a puppet ghost."

Kayako was initially a little scared, but after seeing Yoshizaki Kawa's figure, she was no longer so afraid.

She even felt that if she had known it was her teacher earlier, she should have been so scared that she ran into his arms.

"Here you go again, promoting your materialism. Can't you be a little more superstitious? We just witnessed it all. Hmph, Yoshizaki Kawa, if you've got the guts, explain why the pen tip automatically draws circles!"

Tomie continues her habit of being consistently foul-mouthed, and her femme fatale traits are becoming increasingly clear.

"Tomie, how about we play another round of Ouija board?"

At that moment, Yoshizaki took out a ballpoint pen from his pocket. When Tomie saw the pen and thought of the scene just now, she was still afraid and didn't dare to go.

"Who wants to play with you..."

"Are you afraid?"

Just as Tomie was about to refuse, she heard Yoshizaki say those words and immediately retorted angrily, "Fine, I'll play!! I'll summon a demon later and teach you a lesson!"

"Um... teacher, can I participate?"

Kayako said weakly that she didn't want to see Tomie holding the teacher's hand.

"of course can."

Yoshizaki did not refuse. He glanced at the appearance of the paper and paused for a moment. Why did it look so familiar?

He set the paper aside and then laid out a new sheet of paper;

Hold the pen firmly in your hand and stand upright on the paper.

Kayako suddenly grabbed Yoshizaki Kawa's hand, and then Tomie followed closely behind, glaring fiercely at Yoshizaki Kawa;

"Ouija board spirit, Ouija board spirit, you are my past life, I am your present life. If you wish to continue our bond, please draw a circle on the paper~"

Before the incantation was finished, Yoshizaki Kawa exerted a slight force with his elbow, and the pen in front of him immediately began to spin in circles.

"So fast! I haven't even read it a second time yet!"

Tomie was terrified, feeling that this time a real evil spirit had definitely come;

"Ouija board spirit, when did you die? What was the cause of your death?"

Yoshizaki immediately asked;

Upon hearing this, Tomie and Kayako turned deathly pale.

"You mustn't ask the spirit of the Ouija board when it died, and you absolutely mustn't ask it why it died!! That will enrage it!"

Tomie was already starting to regret it; she hadn't expected this guy to ask such a question.

However, the next moment, the pen tip began to move slowly;

"p, i, z, z, a...e, a, t...4"

While Tomie was still pondering the meaning of the word, Kayako exclaimed in surprise:

"Want some pizza?"

"It died from eating pizza when it was four years old!!"

Upon hearing this, Mako's expression immediately changed. It is said that child ghosts are the most vicious because they die before experiencing happiness, and their resentment is extremely strong.

Moreover, the teacher asked such an offensive question, which would surely enrage the spirit, and perhaps... perhaps it would trigger an exceptionally bloody massacre!

However, to their surprise, the ballpoint pen continued to run steadily without showing any signs of agitation.

"This is a very generous ghost; we can continue asking questions!"

Tomie breathed a sigh of relief. Since this ghost was so generous, she would ask him a difficult question.

Do you have the answers to next week's English exam?

Yoshizakigawa: "..."

He was silent for a moment, then looked up at Tomie in front of him. He was an English teacher, and for this girl to ask him such a question in front of him was somewhat disrespectful.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Even if I used a Ouija board, that's my own skill!"

Tomie, however, said arrogantly, "What's wrong with me taking the exam based on my own abilities?"

A moment later, the Ouija board moved, slowly circling a few words;

"Study hard—"

"Damn it! Another one who doesn't understand English."

She was somewhat annoyed;

But then, Kayako suddenly asked a question that instantly caught her attention;

"Does the teacher have someone she likes?"

Tomie secretly gave Kayako a thumbs up in her heart, while Mako on the side was also paying full attention to this, even secretly observing the look in Kayako and Tomie's eyes.

From their eyes, she realized... perhaps both of them had some feelings for Yoshizaki Kawa.

That's wonderful. But to be honest, it's perfectly understandable that Kayako likes Yoshizaki Mako. If she had gone through similar experiences and was left with no other options, and someone treated her with such warmth, she would definitely fall in love with him too.

Furthermore, after spending time together and clearing up misunderstandings, she felt even more strongly that Yoshizaki-sensei was indeed a very good person.

However, she didn't understand why Tomie would like him. He wasn't even that handsome. With Tomie's looks, who in the whole school couldn't she get?

Why insist on dwelling on this? Could it be that she was also saved?

At the same time, the pen tip rotated slightly, and finally drew a circle on each "yes";

When her question actually received a response, Kayako's heart began to pound: "Who is it?"

Was it Saito-sensei? Was it Tomie-kun? Or...myself? Or perhaps...?

Mako stood up, leaned closer to the table, and looked at the tabletop. Tomie was also watching intently, afraid of missing the next answer.

"gunship".

"What do you mean?"

Tomie was hit hard by her lack of cultural knowledge for the first time. She had no idea what the word meant and could only look to Kayako for help.

"A helicopter???"

"Wrong! It's an attack helicopter!"

Yoshizaki Kawa laughed heartily, then released his grip, and the pen fell to the ground.

"Can't you see? This thing can give any answer I want."

"Also, Tomie-kun... I'll be keeping an eye on you during the exam next week."

Yoshizaki was confident that they wouldn't be able to summon the Ouija board a second time, because they had already summoned it once before using Kayako's paper, and the terrifying resentment from that time probably hadn't dissipated yet.

Why would a ghost appear at this time?

That's why he deliberately set a trap to make these guys believe in materialism!

Yoshizaki found the idea of ​​the two demon kings, Tomie and Kayako, becoming materialists quite interesting.

"Ah? I see..."

Kayako was a little disappointed; she had thought she would be able to find out who her teacher liked.

If only someone liked me, I could confess my feelings under the moonlight. Just imagining that scene is incredibly romantic.

Tomie's face was ashen. If this guy kept an eye on her next week, wouldn't she... have no way to cheat?

At that moment, she remembered what Yoshizaki had said before: smearing ink on your feet and then stomping on them supposedly helps you get a score of 60 on a test…

Tomie began to consider whether she should do it.

Mako, however, felt that her teacher seemed to be doing this on purpose. Was he hiding something?

—From the moment the teacher brought that stone statue to her, Mako felt that he was not a completely materialistic person.

The stone statue was so ugly that it served no decorative purpose when hung around the neck, so it must have had another use.

Therefore, Yoshizaki-sensei is lying; he might know that ghosts exist!

However, despite this speculation, Mako couldn't find any evidence. The only evidence was the stone necklace, but she didn't know whether he was wearing it or not.

There's no need for me to expose them.

She asked, "Teacher, could you give me that piece of paper from before?"

Yoshizaki was about to confiscate the paper and go back to ask Makoto about it, but seeing Mako's curiosity, he could only hand it to her.

He already knew what it was. Damn it, wasn't this the puppet that Makoto brought back before? An American ghost, Mary Shaw, who seems to be going to be redeemed or something later on.

But Makoto's house is a hundred and eight thousand kilometers away from here, how the hell can it be summoned here?
