Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

As I spoke, I put my index finger on my lips to remind Ichinose not to speak. However, Ichinose didn't understand why I had to hide it, and she was very forceful in moving my finger away from her mouth.

"Don't touch your mouth with your hands that have just held a broom. It will get dirty."

"..."

Never mind. Ichinose’s voice is rather soft when he speaks anyway.

I shook my head and refocused my attention on the smart card process.

The upper surface of the door gap is smooth, which means that the ground in front of the position where I chose to push the key card out was a bit uneven, which prevented it from passing through smoothly.

Really, the line at the door is so long but I still stepped on the minefield...

It doesn't make sense that my luck could be this bad.

"Can you still operate it?"

"Let me think about it first... maybe it's okay."

"If it doesn't work, I'll tell the dormitory manager about the situation here and get a floor card."

"should be no problem."

I went around to the kitchen again and picked out a suitable kitchen knife from the kitchenware.

"Wait, isn't this too dangerous?"

"I feel like I'm pretty good at using a knife, don't worry."

After I finished speaking, I gradually moved my eyes forward in front of the door and gently poked the dark shadow in the transparent gap.

It felt like touching a real object, and the friction from pushing was transmitted along the blade to my nerve center.

"There shouldn't be any problem now, right?"

"Yes, I can take it out easily... Step back a little, and I'll try again."

I pushed back as Kanzaki instructed, and then Ichinose came over and snatched the kitchen knife from my hand, and the broom was returned to its original place at some point.

"..."

Well, it saves me some trouble.

"drop--"

At this moment, Kanzaki used the key card to sense the smart card door lock, and a recognition sound was heard. Then Kanzaki quickly grasped the door handle, and the sound of "Ka La Ka La" came into my ears again. At the same time, he once again used all his strength to hit the door panel.

After several attempts, the door finally opened with a loud bang.

— ensuring its indestructible position.

"..."

"I'm sorry, I've tried my best, but it doesn't seem to work..."

"trouble--"

"Pfft-"

Before he could finish his words, Kanzaki laughed again in front of the door.

"..."

As I listened to the laughter at the door, I made up my mind.

Kanzaki Ryuji,

Please don't let me catch you making a fool of yourself.

"Just now, when the key card was sensed, the door lock made a sound, which proves that there is no problem with the recognition process, and the corresponding safety lock key in the door lock should be unlocked. In addition, the door handle can be pulled down normally, and there is also a sound of mechanical parts running inside, but the working state is not hindered by any resistance... It turns out that the corresponding parts between the handle and the lock tongue have become loose."

Although it was unclear where exactly Kanzaki was standing in the corridor while thinking, there was no doubt that his conclusion was correct.

"Is this a double door?"

"Why do you suddenly ask this question?"

"If not, the movement of the door handles on the front and back is not synchronized..."

"This is a double door." Ichinose suddenly reminded me from behind.

"I'm sorry, did you say anything just now? Your voice suddenly dropped and I couldn't hear you clearly."

"Ah, no... Anyway, there must be something wrong with the internal structure of the door."

"This is troublesome. We can't solve it alone. We need to call a locksmith... Anyway, I will report this to the dormitory manager first."

"I'll do it myself. I happen to have a record of the administrator's phone calls."

"...You still have the time to do this kind of thing?"

"I wrote it down accidentally when I went to the classroom last time."

"Even if it was an accident, I don't think many people would notice it."

"It means I'm not an ordinary person." I agreed casually, but Kanzaki made a fuss about this.

"That's true. I've never seen anyone who can lock himself in a room."

"Can we not talk about this?"

"No, this is a rare and interesting thing."

"..."

Afterwards, the dormitory manager came to the door of my room and tried using his various permission smart cards. Finally, he determined that there was a problem with the internal structure of the door lock, so he had to ask the locksmith to replace it with a brand new one.

"This is the phone number of the school's locksmith. If you contact me, you can do it yourself. I will need to register some data next. Also, after changing the lock, remember to send me a backup key card."

"Understood, goodbye administrator."

"..."

"You also wrote down the phone number just now, right? So should I make the call, or should you do it yourself?"

"I must have contacted them myself. I'm the one who got into trouble, so if there's any record to be kept, it's my place... You can go back first."

"No, I'll just stand here and wait for your news."

"Hey, didn't you say you wanted to go to bed early?"

"Anyway, tomorrow is still within the summer vacation deadline, and I don't have anything else important to do."

"...It still sounds suspicious."

"Have you figured this out? Well, the fact is that I was intrigued by the fact that you could lock yourself in the room. Thanks to you, I am now completely sleepless."

"If you say so, then if I can't give you an unexpected ending, then I would be indebted to you?"

"Well, so please don't let me down."

"..."

Why are all the people around me who can be called friends like this? They all want to see me being victimized. Okabe always talks about cross-dressing, but even Ichinose is...

Thinking of this, I glanced at Ichinose with a resentful look, but ended up meeting her worried gaze instead.

"..."

"I'll call a locksmith to open the lock."

"I actually hope that you can be locked up for a while longer, if you don't mind." Kanzaki's leisurely and sarcastic voice came from the door. I resolutely ignored it and dialed the phone.

"Hello, hello."

"This is the locksmith service center of the Higher Education Institute. What can I do for you?"

"Hello, I have a lock that I need you to replace."

"Excuse me, are you a faculty member, student, or facility staff member at the school? We need to know the basic data of the unlocking type."

"student."

"So you have a sensor door lock, right? What's the problem?"

Then I told the service staff about the test I had just done on the door lock and the results. The staff expressed their understanding and told us that our current situation could only be handled by the appropriate technicians.

"Okay. We have understood your situation clearly. I would like to register your information. Is it convenient for you?"

"convenient......"

Hmm, it was just a simple request for a lock change. Do I need to register it with the service center? I felt something was wrong, but I gave up thinking about it because I didn't have enough evidence.

"Then please tell me your grade, class, name, and contact information."

"Don't you need a dorm room?"

"We will automatically check and fill in the dormitory room number based on the information, so don't worry."

"Understood. First grade, Class B, name Luomu..."

"Okay, we have made an appointment for you. We will arrange for a locksmith to come to your dormitory building as soon as possible to change the door lock."

"Thank you."

"Okay, if there's nothing else I can do to help you, I'll hang up now."

[We have made an appointment for you]......

Why does this sentence sound so strange? Is there something wrong with it?

"Well, no..."

Appointment registration...

"Wait, what do you mean by appointment registration?"

"That's exactly what it means, sir. Because all our technicians have gone off duty, we can't provide you with service immediately."

"...Which means that I can only remain locked in the room now, right?"

"Yes, so I can only make an appointment for you to register and arrange for the home installation service as soon as possible tomorrow morning."

"..."

"Do you have any other questions on your end, sir?"

"..."

"Hello, sir, can you hear me?"

"Oh, sorry... Can I ask if you are the only locksmith service in this school? Or do I have other ways to open the lock?"

"Sir, we are the only one who provides all the lock-opening services for the Advanced Training High School. As for other ways to open the door, if you are sure that multiple permission cards cannot open the door, then you may try brute force, but we do not recommend it."

"...What is violent unlocking?"

"As the name implies, it is to use violence to forcibly disassemble the door lock. Considering the dispersion of internal parts and the flow of circuits, in order to avoid injury, we do not recommend that you use this method."

"..."

"Hey, are you listening again, sir?"

"Hmm.....So the only option left is for me to wait for the locksmith to come and fix it tomorrow?"

"It's like this. Our technician will notify you tomorrow morning and then go to change the lock right away... Is this okay with you?"

"…Is there anyone else who has made an appointment before me?"

"Normally the room owner will only have problems during business hours, which is rare, so there won't be anyone else ahead of you in line."

"I see... Anyway, I get it."

"Is there anything else I can help you with here?"

"Nothing."

"Well, thank you for your call. I wish you a happy life. Thank you."

"beep--"

As the tone of the conversation ended rang, I put down the phone that was pressed against my ear.

"..."

"What happened, Luo? You look really bad..."
