Hawks from the Land of Light are calling me a dove and an undercover agent in the chat group.

Nishimiya's mother was actually too stubborn in this regard, to the point of being obstinate. She was determined to make others not see Shoko as a disabled person, but as a normal person, in every way.

Even if it was the Ishida family's fault this time, if they were to demand more compensation, she would feel that it would make it seem as if her family was profiting from Shoko's disabled body, and she would not allow that.

Nishimiya's mother glared at Ishida Shoya: "But that brat, I want him to come over here and let Shoko slap him to teach him a lesson!"

My daughter is too weak and cowardly. This can't go on forever. Now is the perfect time. The other side is in the wrong, and she can force Shoko to fight them.

Perhaps this slap will wake Shoko up and make her stop being so weak?

Faced with the condition that her son would be beaten, Ishida's mother was clearly finding it hard to accept. She was trying to bargain and see if she could get herself slapped by Nishimiya's mother instead.

But before he could finish speaking, Yato Takeshi decisively said, "That's it. I can't accept this condition."

"Hmm?" Nishimiya's mother looked at her with suspicion, wondering if Yato Takeshi was biased because the Ishida family was rich while she was poor and powerless.

That's not the case, of course. Ya shook his head vigorously.

“Mother Nishimiya, you should consider Nishimiya’s own feelings. She wouldn’t want to do this. If you’re going to take matters into your own hands to seek justice for your daughter, then I have no right to stop you. But if you’re going to force Nishimiya like this, then I can’t stand by and do nothing.”

Nishimiya Shoko isn't the type to stand up for herself no matter how much she's beaten, but given Ishida Shoya's actions so far, there's no way Shoko would be willing to actually hit someone.

Yagami Takeshi understood Nishimiya's mother's intentions, but in his opinion, it was wrong to force a child to do something they didn't want to do under the guise of "for your own good."

Especially now, there is no necessity to do so.

Nishimiya's mother angrily questioned, "Then what do you suggest we do? Are you just going to let my daughter be bullied like this? If this continues, can she expect to encounter teachers like you for the rest of her life? This society is not that kind at all!"

"Indeed, the human world is not perfect or gentle in many ways, but I think there is a better way than to make Nishimiya, who is not good at being assertive like you, try to learn to walk like someone from Handan."

Facing the questioning and gaze of Nishimiya's mother, Yato Takeshi, with a clear conscience, stated the decision he had already made long ago.

“Nishimiya isn’t the type of person who can be assertive. What she needs to do is make more close friends. Friends always help each other. Although Nishimiya doesn’t have that ability right now and doesn’t know how to make friends, I will teach her.”

"Compared to being forceful and tough, I think this approach is more in line with Nishimiya's personality, and it's also something that Nishimiya herself is willing to do, isn't it?"

Yago took a deliberate slowing down his speech so that Nishimiya Shoko could understand him. Her eyes sparkled as she listened, completely absorbed in the dreamlike image of herself playing with many real friends.

He immediately nodded emphatically, and replied in a rather strange tone, "I think... it's like what Mr. Yagami said..."

Nishimiya's mother frowned. She only knew how to be forceful, which led Shoko down a completely different path from her own. In that case, she would be unable to provide guidance based on her own experience.

Can this really succeed? If it fails, won't Shoko herself be the one to pay the price?

That teacher makes it sound so easy!

Nishimiya's mother wanted to retort angrily, but Yato Takeshi's vow to take full responsibility made her change her question to: "So, what about that brat?"

Even if she fails, at least with this teacher who looks vaguely familiar, someone she seems to have seen before, Shoko can at least be assured that she won't be bullied in her final year of elementary school.

If, after a year, Shoko still can't manage to be alone without being ostracized by other normal people, and can make friends with other normal people, even forming deep friendships...

Then she'll start from junior high and force Shoko to become tougher, making up for the lack of toughness she had in sixth grade!

When it came to arrangements for Ishida Shoya, Yato Takeshi already had a plan: "The Ishida family will indeed have to pay for the 200,000 yen hearing aid, but it won't be paid by the parents."

"Huh?" Ishida's mother was stunned.

Yato Takeshi affirmed, "Whoever makes the mistake should pay the price. This is the most basic principle. If you leave the compensation to your parents to handle, that's just escaping. It does nothing to help the child's growth. On the contrary, it will only make him have no clear understanding of the cost of his mistakes."

Ishida's mother panicked, "But, but, Shoya is so young, he doesn't have any money at all! That's 200,000 yen!"

"Then go get a job!"

Yato Takeshi's entire demeanor was powerful and resolute, his sharp words carrying weight as he made his arrangements: "The new hearing aid must be bought immediately. You will pay for this first, Ishida's mother. However, this money is a temporary loan to Ishida, and he must repay it."

“Starting today, I will personally take him to work after school every day. He can deliver food, hand out flyers, or work as a waiter. I will take him to do any part-time job that is not dangerous to his life until he saves up 200,000 yen himself.”

"When that time comes, Nishimiya's mother, I will make Ishida sincerely, without being forced, and earnestly apologize to Nishimiya in front of your whole family."

"At that time, you can verbally reprimand him however you like, as the victim's mother. Do you think that's acceptable?"

There is never a perfect solution when it comes to bullying.

Punishing bullies too leniently is unfair to the bullied; punishing bullies too harshly denies them a chance to redeem themselves if their bullying is still within a remedial range.

However, there is no such thing as the perfect range of punishment, because no matter how you punish someone, there will always be someone who thinks it's too lenient and someone who thinks it's too harsh.

Faced with a situation where there is no perfect solution, Yashiro Takeshi can only come up with his own ideas.

Ishida Shoya is a bad kid now, but thankfully he hasn't done anything to harm Nishimiya Shoko's body yet.

Therefore, he wanted Ishida Shoya to face society personally.

Ultraman may not need or care about money, but that doesn't mean he's unaware of the importance of money to humanity.

Just a mere two hundred thousand?

While Ishida's mother could afford the 200,000 yen, it was the result of hard work. For the cash-strapped Nishimiya family, this money could become the final expense that breaks the camel's back at any moment.

Ishida Shoya has no idea what crime he has committed, so the first thing to do is to make him understand his crime.

Let him earn money with his own hands, face all kinds of customers, and understand what price he will have to pay for this so-called prank.

Only then will he begin to truly reflect on his actions from the bottom of his heart!

Volume 1: 484. Bad kids need to be taught a harsh lesson by reality!

484. Bad kids need to be taught a harsh lesson by reality!

Nishimiya's mother was naturally the first to approve of Yagami Takeshi's arrangement.

And although she didn't say it aloud, she was truly amazed. In all these years, this was the first time she had ever seen a teacher like this.

Generally speaking, a teacher who can manage bullying in the classroom is considered a good teacher by most people; no one can expect to find a teacher who is willing to take the initiative to manage bullying after class.

Not to mention someone like this, who not only takes the initiative to manage the bullying students outside of class, but also manages them to the point that they are willing to sacrifice a lot of their own leisure time and take the bullying students to work every day.

It would be extremely difficult for an elementary school student to raise 200,000 yen. In other words, there's absolutely no way to make a profit from it. So there's no need to worry about whether the teacher is trying to take a cut or steal a portion of Ishida Shoya's salary; that's impossible.

Because of the time spent on Ishida Shoya, this teacher will always earn far more from tutoring classes.

This is true, truly selfless dedication. It's not just about satisfying the Nishimiya family, but also clearly about wanting to help Ishida Shouya, to discipline this brat who's gone down the path of bullying, and to stop him from making any further mistakes.

Honestly, Nishimiya's mother knew that if she were the teacher, she could never have done this.

What else is there to say?

“I have no objection.” Nishimiya’s mother immediately exclaimed, “It is our honor to have a teacher like you. With someone like you around, I can rest assured. We will entrust our Shoko to you for the next year, teacher.”

Ishida's mother remained silent for several seconds before saying with difficulty, "Well, then let's leave it at that... Although, although this child did make a mistake, teacher, I hope you won't bully him too much..."

Ishida's mother thought of a rather dark possibility.

That is, if the new teacher is unhappy because she is forced to spend so much time on the job, and then beats or verbally abuses her child during the work hours, then she will be in great pain.

"I wouldn't do that kind of thing, and I can assure you that."

Yato Takeshi looked very serious and even offered a solution: "If you're not comfortable with that, you can buy a cheap little phone and record the whole thing, from the time Ishida and I are together after school until we get back. All the sounds from that time can be recorded."

“I won’t touch those recordings. You can play them back on speed when you get home that night, Ishida.”

"However, I also have a request. Once I start working to pay off the debt, as long as there is evidence to prove that I have never bullied him or put him in any danger, I hope that no matter how much Ishida complains or wants to give up, Ishida's mother, you will not plead for me."

"I'm determined to make Ishida persevere. Is that something you can accept?"

Ya no Takeshi confirmed repeatedly, making sure everything was clear beforehand to avoid any subsequent changes in orders.

Upon hearing that the entire recording could be done, Ishida's mother was immediately relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "I accept!"

"Huh?" Ishida Shouya was dumbfounded. "No, I didn't say I wanted to work! What about my human rights? I'm going to complain! I'm going to complain about Takeshi-sensei Yato! I'm going to complain—ugh!"

Ishida's mother covered Shoya's mouth, making it clear that she did not support her son.

This also made Nishimiya's mother's face less dark.

"That's good." Ya nods and smiles. "It's my good fortune to have met Nishimiya-kun, Ishida-kun, and parents like you two."

Although Ishida Shoya started to go astray, Ishida's mother was clearly a reasonable person and did not spoil her child excessively; she was a very competent adult and mother.

It's unavoidable that Ishida Shoya is a bit eccentric, because it's not that parents who are reasonable can necessarily raise their children to be like them. Besides, Ishida's mother clearly didn't know that her son was bullying classmates at school before, and only found out now.

As for Nishimiya's mother, she was even better. Upon hearing that something had happened to her child, she was the first to rush over. Moreover, she didn't care about blaming her daughter for breaking the hearing aid; instead, she checked her daughter to see if she was injured anywhere.

All of this shows how much Nishimiya's mother loved her daughter who was born with a disability, and she never took her anger out on her daughter just because her daughter was different from others.

Both are very good parents.

As for Nishimiya Shoko and Ishida Shoya, Yato Takeshi wasn't making things up; he genuinely felt lucky to have met these two children in time.

After all, if he were to encounter this, he would definitely take action, which is much better than letting other teachers who wouldn't care.

Yagami made the arrangement: "Then please have the two parents take Nishimiya to buy a new hearing aid first. I will take care of educating Ishida."

Without a hearing aid, it would be pointless for Shoko to continue attending classes, because she simply couldn't hear anything.

"Also, Mother Nishimiya, there is something I would like to ask you to grant me."

"Hey, what's up?"

"I had made a promise with Nishimiya to help her correct her intonation every day after school, but it seems I can't do that now. So I'd like to change the time to after 7 p.m. After I finish my part-time job with Ishida, I'll go to your house to help Nishimiya correct her intonation. Please allow me to do so."

Is this even possible?!

Both Nishimiya's mother and Ishida's mother were deeply shaken. Such a teacher, such a teacher...

Nishimiya's mother choked up. After struggling in society for so long, this was the first time she had felt like crying since having two children: "Teacher, my Shoko, I really, really, really entrust her to you!"

“Our family is now entirely in your hands, teacher!” Ishida’s mother bowed deeply, having no more doubts.

Cell phone? Voice recorder?

There's no need to buy that kind of thing at all. With a teacher like that, what is there to worry about?

With Shoko in tow, Nishimiya's mother and Ishida's mother left together, leaving behind an indignant Ishida Shoya and a dazed Takeuchi-sensei standing to the side.

"No..." Takeuchi-sensei found it unbelievable. "You're not just talking nonsense, do you really intend to do that?"

Ya no Takeshi replied seriously, "Since you've already said that, I will definitely take full responsibility."

"You're insane, you're absolutely insane," Takeuchi-sensei shook his head repeatedly.

To be a teacher to this extent?

If Yashiro can persevere, then he—well, he can't eat shit or jump off a building.

but.
