I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"..."

Amemiya Ye still had her red eyes open.

"Can't forget...?"

Shinohara Shiori repeated these words, and what came to her mind was the teacher's final farewell.

Eventually, the light-hearted words turned into self-mockery.

"Ah--"

As if she was losing interest, her eyes gradually drooped.

She looked at "The Temple of the Golden Pavilion" on the table.

"..."

"..."

After a long silence, she took the book and opened it.

……

[The fire drew complex shadows on the straw pile, revealing the bright colors of the barren fields, and spread densely in all directions. The flames were hidden in the gradually rising smoke. Unexpectedly, the mosquito net in the distance swelled green, and the flames jumped into the air. I felt that the surroundings suddenly became lively. ]

……

[I could hardly feel the heat. I saw the flames were indeed spreading towards the incense cabinet, so I thought, it's done.]

……

[From here, you can't see the shape of the Golden Pavilion, you can only see the rolling smoke and the flames rising into the sky. There are a lot of fire powders floating between the trees, and the sky above the Golden Pavilion seems to be sprinkled with golden sand. ]

……

The Golden Pavilion was completely burned, destroyed, and set on fire in the flames.

Chapter 258 Ye Yue's Mother

In the convenience store, after the two uninvited guests who had suddenly arrived said goodbye, Ye Yue Li Ya, who was standing at the cashier counter and watching them disappear, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I never expected that something like this would happen.

I actually met the student of that teacher who lived in Tokyo in Kyoto? Isn't it too much of a coincidence?

If this is related to the teacher's affairs, would the probability of coincidence increase greatly?

It was quite a coincidence when I met him on the street before.

——But let’s forget about this coincidence, it almost happened.

By the way, just out of curiosity rather than concern - what is the current status of the teacher?

Successfully resigned, or what?

Hmm... Judging from the state of the student named Shinohara just now - he didn't care about the teacher's affairs and didn't show any concern.

It is very likely that, as he had planned, he had resigned after saying goodbye to his students for the final time?

Ye Yue Li Ya guessed that this was the case.

As for whether her guess was correct...she didn't know, and she had no way to verify it with the teacher.

——Come to think of it, they had met each other several times, but they had never exchanged contact information. It was all based on luck to meet each other, meeting at a convenience store or bumping into each other on the street. If she got off work or her route was slightly off, they would not be able to meet.

Well, it is indeed a coincidence.

It's amazing.

And sure enough, what she said just now was correct. It was just "someone I know". It's not right to call him "acquaintance" without any contact information.

"——Yueyue."

Just as Ye Yue Li Ya was distracted and immersed in messy thoughts, he suddenly caught a very familiar voice in his ears.

"--Yes."

After hearing the voice, Ye Yue Liya immediately responded, raised his head hidden under his baseball cap, and looked forward.

A middle-aged woman, about forty years old, stood at the cash register and looked at her.

"..."

He is the store manager.

"Manager...good afternoon."

After realizing what was happening, Ye Yue Li Ya's already well-behaved face immediately revealed a confusing smile -

If someone knew this girl's personality, such as Tetsufumi Hirakawa, they would definitely find such an appearance too confusing.

"What's wrong, what are you thinking about?"

"Well... it's nothing." Ye Yue Liya shook her head and continued, "Speaking of which, it's time to get off work now, right?"

The store manager put his hands on his hips and smiled helplessly: "Does seeing me only remind you to get off work?"

"Oh, right..." Ye Yue Li Ya remembered and smiled, "Salary."

"……You."

"Hehe." Ye Yue Liya continued to smile obediently.

"Give."

"Thank you, Manager." Ye Yueliya took the envelope handed by the manager with both hands, "Then I'm off work?"

"Well, let's go."

……

Ye Yue Li Ya came to the convenience store staff room holding the envelope.

She walked in, took out her backpack from the check-in area, and stuffed the envelope into it.

The convenience store workers were paid daily, and her backpack was stuffed with several identical envelopes.

After stuffing it in, she zipped up her backpack and turned to walk to the changing room next door.

He closed the door, took out the regular clothes he was going to wear to work today from the closet, took off his staff uniform and baseball cap, and hung them aside. After changing his clothes, Ye Yue Liya walked out of the dressing room.

Put on your backpack and say goodbye to the store manager.

"Manager, I'm leaving first."

"okay."

Walked out of the convenience store.

In fact, normally she would work until the evening, but at this fixed time every week, she had something to do.

The cold wind outside the store made her feel a little uncomfortable after just walking out of the warm convenience store. Ye Yue Li Ya reached out her hand, but did not touch the baseball cap.

I had to smooth my hair which was blowing in the wind and quickly becoming cold.

She looked up at the sky, then took out her cell phone from her pocket. On the screen, several cracks spread from the corners. She saw time cut into several pieces by the cracks.

It's five-seven.

……

When it was already 5:15, Hazuki Reiya caught the train.

Very good, there is still some time before the rush hour for office workers to get off work, so there are still seats available.

Ye Yue Li Ya, who had been standing for a long time because of her part-time job, immediately walked over and sat down.

Only after she sat down, breathed a sigh of relief, and felt the soreness in her legs, did she start to pay attention to the girls around her who looked like the daughters of wealthy families.

Moriya?

When I caught a glimpse of the emblem tattooed on the left chest of the uniform, I was stunned for a moment.

I blinked a few times out of curiosity, but then retracted my eyes for fear of offending someone, and began to mutter to myself:

Why is he Moritani's student again?

I remembered the two people I met in the convenience store today.

It's obviously a school in Tokyo, so how come there are so many in Kyoto?

Thinking of this, I caught a key word from the quiet chatter beside me:

"It turned out to be a school trip."

Hazuki Reiya understood.

From Kanto to Kansai, and from Kansai to Kanto, such school trip destinations are very normal.

Some time ago, her class voted for Tokyo as the destination for their school trip - but she didn't go.

So when I saw those two people at the convenience store this afternoon, I didn’t think about the school trip... I thought it was something else.

……

The sky darkens very quickly in winter, and even if you don't spend too much time on the train, when Ye Yue Li Ya walked out of the train station and looked at the sky again, the sky that was originally bright had already darkened.

The clouds in the dark night are gray.

Hazuki Reiya withdrew her gaze and walked towards her destination.

It's a hospital.

……

Under the light of the street lamps, Ye Yue Li Ya first went to the self-service deposit machine next to the hospital and deposited the money she saved from her part-time job into her bank card.

After making the deposit, there were several empty envelopes left.

This week it’s 5 yen.

Well... this kind of income is of course illegal work, and if it is exposed, the police will find you.

However, the store manager still took the risk to let her stay, and she was very grateful.

After making the deposit, Ye Yue Li Ya walked into the hospital.

……

The lights in the hospital were very bright, so bright that they drove away all the darkness of the winter night.

With the smell of the hospital lingering in her nose, Reiya Hazuki walked into the ward area.

He walked around skillfully, his footsteps echoing in the hospital corridors, and soon he reached his destination.

Hazuki Reiya stopped.

This is a single room.

She stood at the door with her backpack on her back, looking at the closed door of the ward.

"..."

She opened the door and walked in.

……

Inside the ward, the lights were still bright, so bright that they looked a little pale, outlining the scene inside the ward.

The dark windows, the white hospital bed, the man lying on the bed, the woman beside the bed, and the gloomy face that the light cannot dispel.

"..."

Ye Yue Li Ya quietly closed the door.

After closing the door, she turned around and saw the woman beside the bed staring at her.

His eyes were stiff and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.

"..."

Ye Yue Li Ya paused for a moment.

She started walking again. The woman's neck didn't move, and her eyes followed her figure smoothly, not leaving her.
