I'm a weird expert in Japan

"A thousand ways? Isn't your method just one, to kill with the magic sword?" Shi Zhu thought for a moment, "Or maybe you have something hidden that we don't know about."

"Don't underestimate the weird experts..."

At this moment, a noisy electric guitar sound rang out in the classroom.

The two boys covered their ears together.

“Ahahaha… I think I played it wrong…” Eriri smiled awkwardly.

Hesa kept shaking her head like a robot.

Chapter 196 Chapter 1 Questions and Answers about Hanekawa Tsubasa ()

"This one... and this one. Ah! That book may not be of much use. I'm sorry to the teacher who wrote it, but in the end, that book just suggests that we memorize things by rote. If we want efficiency, I think that book will be better."

After saying this, Hanekawa Tsubasa took out several reference books from the bookshelf and handed them to Lian.

After a rough count, there are six books in total.

It was July 25th, the day after the private Toyosaki Academy closed for summer vacation.

Lian, who was sleeping in early in the morning, was woken up by a phone call from Hanekawa Tsubasa. Before she was ready to get angry at the person on the phone because of her bad temper, this voice drove away most of her sleepiness.

"Teacher Hanekawa, isn't this a bit too much..."

Ren asked with a wry smile as he looked towards Hanekawa-sensei as she placed the seventh book on top of the stack he was holding.

“Over budget?”

"...What is a budget?" Lian immediately shook his head.

There is no such thing as a budget for buying books, and Lian has her own income and savings, so there is no problem at all.

Just this scene, he always felt like it was familiar.

It seems that there was a similar situation during the Golden Week.

"I thought I would have no problem with the final exam, but some aspects are still not ideal." Hanekawa put down the eighth book, "Be prepared to study during the summer vacation."

"Eh? But didn't I pass all the tests?" Lian felt innocent.

He successfully saved his summer vacation because he didn't need to take a make-up exam or attend summer tutoring.

"You almost made it through the passing line. Do you really think that's enough?" Hanekawa looked at Lian seriously.

"Uh……"

It seems that Teacher Hanekawa is not very satisfied with the final results. She seems to think that the results will be better with her tutoring.

For example, like Touma and Sa.

In the end, in terms of academic performance, Hesha's final grades were actually better than Lian's, with almost every subject scoring ten or eight points higher than his.

"And the two books on the top are for Touma-san. Please give them to her later."

From what Hanekawa described, it should be a reward for the final exam.

"No way, I still have to pay for it?" Lian complained.

Obviously, that guy didn't follow her at all, but Lian thought she was her life liaison specialist.

"No, the teacher paid for it," Hanekawa said naturally, "She did well in her final exams, so I picked out some books she would like as a gift."

"Teacher Hanekawa, you definitely did this on purpose." Lian laughed dryly.

Giving books to someone who doesn't like reading is simply the worst option. It would be better to give it to him first.

"That's not necessarily true." Hanekawa held a different opinion, "Ren-kun still knows too little about Touma-san."

"Well, that's it..." Lian tilted her head, "And I'm already prepared to go through the transfer procedures during the summer vacation. I won't be in Japan next semester."

"That was then, and this is now." Hanekawa Tsubasa adjusted the stack of books, "Now is the time to do what needs to be done now. If you think these expenses are a pity, then the teacher will pay for them himself."

"Ahahaha, that's not necessary." Lian laughed dryly.

In fact, even if he really left, these things would be packed up and sent to his parents' home by Zhenfei or Di.

It doesn't mean you can just leave it there and ignore it.

"You really didn't try to be brave?"

"Please, Mr. Hanekawa..." Lian lowered her shoulders, "I'm not an ordinary student without a job and income, please rest assured about this."

"That's true." Hanekawa Tsubasa said lightly.

Looking at Mr. Hanekawa walking in front of her, Lian unconsciously felt relieved.

In fact, he didn't have any summer vacation plans at all. He just practiced the piano after waking up, looked at the work schedule prepared by the office, and made adjustments anytime and anywhere.

"But..." Hanekawa suddenly said, "I'm actually wondering if there's any point in doing this."

"Huh? Is the teacher still confused?"

"Even great men are confused. I'm just an ordinary person, how can I know everything so clearly?" Teacher Hanekawa turned around and smiled faintly.

"..." Lian was embarrassed to complain.

If Hanekawa Tsubasa is considered an ordinary person, then what is he, a servant?

"Actually, just like what Lian-kun said, he will transfer to another school after the summer vacation, and it's almost the same here." Hanekawa Tsubasa looked at Lian, "This semester will probably be my last semester in Japan. Being a teacher can be considered as fulfilling one of the plans I had when I was studying."

"Teacher...where are you going?" Lian didn't seem very surprised.

In fact, when Hanekawa Tsubasa would leave was completely within Lian's expectations.

There must be a reason why the leader of the Erasure Front organization returned to Japan and became a teacher in a high school that is not even close to the top in the entrance exams.

In other words, during this period of time, she was actually doing her own things in a place where Lian couldn't see her, and she had ideals that Lian was completely unaware of and couldn't ask directly about.

If the difference between him and other people is the difference between species.

The gap between him and Hanekawa Tsubasa is on the spiritual level.

Mortals and Saints.

That's probably the difference.

Hanekawa Tsubasa has a grand wish that encompasses the entire world, while Ren just wants to blend naturally among humans.

"Of course I'm traveling around the world. I still have a lot of things to do." Hanekawa Tsubasa said with a smile, "After returning to Japan, on the one hand, I want to complete the things I couldn't do before, and on the other hand... I want to erase all traces of myself in Japan little by little."

"what?"

"After all, if people knew my origins, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble..." Hanekawa Tsubasa rarely showed an embarrassed expression, "Although what was erased was only traces of my life, it's hard to say about my memory."

"Hmm..." Lian felt very strange.

If this is the case, it cannot be considered as completely eliminated.

"Actually, I'm not as special as Ren-kun thinks." Hanekawa Tsubasa blinked. "The truly special ones are actually celebrities like Ren-kun. As for me, once I leave school, everyone will gradually forget about me. No matter if it's teachers or classmates, they will only remember me when someone mentions me."

By that time, Hanekawa Tsubasa would have already left the country and gone to an unknown place, fighting for his grand dream all his life.

"……Yeah."

Lian actually noticed that Hanekawa Tsubasa's popularity in school was only when she was there.

"Then I will come and see you off when the teacher leaves."

"Please keep this a secret from others."

"Ah."

Chapter 197 Chapter 2 Questions and Answers about Hanekawa Tsubasa ()

"Speaking of which, how have things been lately?"

After coming out of the bookstore, Lian and Hanekawa walked towards a nearby cafe, intending to have a cup of coffee before going back.

On the way, Mr. Hanekawa asked a question without any context.

"What happened?" Lian was a little unresponsive.

He went over several recent related events in his mind, but none of them felt right.

"At home." said Teacher Hanekawa.

“…Teacher, you know I don’t care about this kind of thing. If it really gets out of hand, I’ll hide in some deep mountain forest. Wait for a hundred or eighty years, and when all the people of this generation are dead, I’ll come out and start over.” Lian touched the back of his head and said helplessly.

"Really? If something happens to Emperor and Zhenfei, will you really just sit there and do nothing?" Teacher Hanekawa looked confident.

This time it was Lian's turn to be speechless.

"...Okay..." He was silent for a while before admitting that he was shaken to a certain extent.

The so-called indifference to worldly affairs is just a gesture, which can largely eliminate the troubles related to the Shijo family.

But it does not mean all.

As long as he still cares about Zhenfei and Di and treats them as his own brothers and sisters, he cannot change this fact.

"The two families have actually been fighting overtly and covertly for many years, and now it's nothing more than expanding the battlefield." Lian said casually, "It's just that many things have not been made public, and there may not be any reports in the news. Even if there is any gossip that really flows into the media, it will be blocked at the first time."

"I can more or less guess what's going on there." Hanekawa said in a lighter tone, "When I was cleaning up traces of my life, I accidentally learned something... rather special."

"Special things? Anything about the Shinomiya or Shijo families?" Lian asked, "For example, the Shijo family is not a monolithic entity. Many people who followed the branch family had their own plans."

"Not that kind of thing—" Hanekawa shook his head, "I mean... weird."

"Huh?" Lian was stunned for a moment.

"It seems that the Shinomiya family is conducting some dangerous research, and it is related to weirdness." Hanekawa Tsubasa adjusted his glasses, "Ren-kun, have you heard about it?"

"No... this is the first time..."

In other words, this was the first time Lian had heard of such clearly pointed information.

Strange things have existed since ancient times. Over the years, there have been so many legends and anecdotes. It is impossible that the huge Shinomiya family is completely unaware of it.

Maybe it was treated as superstition in the past, but as time went by, more and more information about strange things came to light, and now it is not surprising for the people in the family to know that there are such things as strange things in the world.

It can even be said that it would be really strange to know nothing about it.

"Can you tell me more about that?"

"About a few years ago, when I was searching for Mr. Oshino all over the world, I was imprisoned in an ancient German castle in Europe." Hanekawa said, "Do you remember Ren-kun?"

"Of course, that's when we met." Lian dropped her shoulders, "But getting to know everyone formally was something that happened later."

At that time, Hanekawa Tsubasa was passing through Germany on his way to find Oshino Meme. In order to obtain information about Oshino Meme's whereabouts, he cooperated with Ren who was in Germany at the time.

Lian was actually willing to help from the beginning, but Hanekawa Tsubasa believed that there was no free lunch in the world and had his first, and so far only, collaboration with Lian.

Although Lian was only a junior high school student at that time, as a mixed-blood vampire, he would occasionally do some things to expel rogue vampires.

At that time, there was a pair of vampire twins in Germany, High Waist and Low Rise, who often kidnapped humans, played with them, and then ate them. So Lian followed her mother's instructions and was responsible for the extermination work.

Lian only considered the worst-case scenario and did not take into account the existence of surviving humans, and thus fell into a disadvantage in the battle with the twins.

Fortunately, there was still blood of Zeng Jianxi left in Hanekawa Tsubasa's body, and he activated the power of the blood during the commotion. With this power, the two of them fought off the twin vampires together.

Although she knew that Hanekawa Tsubasa was a human, the fact that she had obtained vampire blood gave Lian a great sense of identity.

This is also one of the main reasons why Ren still admires Hanekawa.

"Do you remember what happened to the twins?" asked Hanekawa Tsubasa.

"Ah... I don't remember." Lian shook his head.

After the twins were defeated, they disappeared into the forest outside the castle and have not been seen since. He thought they were probably killed by other vampire hunters or weird experts.

Today, when she was suddenly mentioned by Hanekawa, Lian also felt something strange.

"The twins were once seen in Japan."

"Eh?"

"It was probably not long after our suppression operation," Hanekawa said. "According to the information I gathered, it was probably someone from the Shinomiya family who...captured them."

The strength of a vampire is only relative to its own kind.
