If a weirdo appears again later, she will cheer up quickly.

After slowly finishing the croquette, she remembered what her sister had told her before, so she picked up the phone and dialed a number.

After waiting for about half a minute, the call was connected.

"Mom, um, it's me..."

During the day today, Hina asked her about Little Vermillion, the pet bird she and her sister raised together.

“How is Xiao Zhuhong now?

The bird should be taken care of by its mother now.

However, she didn't know what her mother was doing recently. After all, her parents divorced a long time ago and both of them were very busy.

"...It's the chick, white with a little red on its head."

For some reason, Kirishima Ai had a bad feeling.

After a while, my mother's answer came from the phone.

Kirishima Ai was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard it wrong.

"I'm sick... I won't live long? Why..."

"No time to take care of it? But, I promised Hina before..."

After a while, my mother's voice came from the phone again.

The woman explained a lot.

There are many reasons, and it seems understandable.

Moreover, birds are inherently fragile animals and have a short lifespan, so the chick may not have many opportunities to see that little bird again.

"…………"

She was silent for a while, her rising emotions gradually subsided, and her eyes lowered slightly, from bright to dim.

Kirishima Ai subconsciously shrank back and said in a somewhat depressed tone:

"………I see."

"Well, nothing else, good night."

She didn't continue talking any more.

And the woman on the other end of the phone probably didn't want to talk to her.

Kirishima Ai said a simple goodbye and hung up the phone.

She put her phone aside and punched the wall lightly with one hand.

The wall didn't rattle.

But her hand stayed there, as if silent.

Kirishima Ai lowered her head.

She definitely couldn't tell Hina about this, as it would only make Hina feel worse.

Therefore, she was the only one who knew about this.

but……

Who should she tell that she was feeling miserable too?

There's just been a lot of bad stuff going on lately.

She didn't sigh or cry because of this. After all, she was the only one in the room, and it would be stupid to do such a thing.

Kirishima Ai closed her eyes and stopped thinking about these things.

I have to go to school tomorrow.

and also……

At some point, she felt a little sleepy.

Sitting in the corner of the narrow rental house, she slowly closed her eyes, her head swaying, and her consciousness gradually faded.

And the TV is still playing——

"Maple Plain City, moderate to heavy rain is expected to continue in the next few days. Please remember to bring an umbrella..."

………………

In the morning, Kirishima Ai rode her bicycle and arrived near the school. She found a place to park her bicycle, but felt that the light was a little dim today.

She looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The weather has been like this these days.

Moreover, crows have been very noisy recently, often chirping with other birds over the city, giving people a bad feeling.

After a while, Kirishima Ai found that the raindrops fell on her head and felt a little cold.

She realized it seemed to be raining.

But today...it seems like she didn't bring an umbrella.

After parking the car, she found that it had started raining outside the shed.

The rain kept dripping on the ground, dyeing the world in front of us into a gray fog, and the students at the school gate in the distance were looking towards the school, while some students with umbrellas walked slowly over.

After thinking for a while, she picked up her schoolbag, covered her head with it, and trotted over.

Of course, a lot of rain still fell on her.

a little cold.

The rain soon became heavy, and her schoolbag was not that big, so soon even her hair was soaked by the rain.

By the time she ran to the classroom, half of her hair and back were wet.

Kirishima Ai looked around the classroom. She came quite early today and saw that many of her classmates were also soaked like her.

She sat down, and raindrops fell on the chair and table through her wet hair, making her look a little disheveled.

He took out toilet paper from his desk and wiped his face and hair briefly.

Then she picked up her Chinese book and prepared to preview her Chinese class in the morning.

During the morning self-study period, the classroom was full without anyone noticing, but the teacher never came.

But outside the window it was still raining heavily.

It was not until the bell rang that the students in the classroom saw their homeroom teacher, Huihara.

She was not wet by the rain.

It is worth mentioning that the person who came in with Haibara was Chika Sakaki.

In recent days, Chika Sakaki seems to come to school at about the same time as Teacher Haibara.

Huiyuan slowly walked to the podium and said calmly:

"It's raining heavily today. Is there anyone without an umbrella?"

On the way to school, she was halfway there when she felt that it was going to rain, so she went back home to get an umbrella.

Although I didn't get wet, I was late for sure.

She glanced around the classroom and saw Kirishima Ai with wet hair.

Looks like he got drenched badly.

"It seems that someone did not bring an umbrella."

Huiyuan nodded coldly and pointed to the door:

"There is a hair dryer in my office. Female students with wet hair can go and blow dry it."

If your long hair gets wet, you can easily catch a cold if the wind blows.

Although no names were mentioned, the only girl who was caught in the rain was Kirishima Ai.

Kirishima Ai thanked the teacher and went to the office alone to use the hair dryer.

Ignoring Kirishima Ai, Haibara slowly searched for the textbooks on the podium, and finally managed to find a tattered textbook with several pages missing, and then opened the page that she was going to teach today.

"Okay, let's go to class."

The morning classes started soon.

It is worth mentioning that according to statistics, the appearance rate of weirdos is very low on rainy days.

Although there are some monsters in the water that are more compatible with rainy days, they basically don't choose rainy days to come out and cause trouble.

Maybe weirdos don't want to cause trouble on a rainy day.

Fighting in the rain is a very frustrating thing.

Huihara actually likes working on rainy days.

Although the sound of rain is loud, it gives people a very quiet and comfortable feeling.

Students don't have to run around everywhere.

At the end of the class, when Huiyuan was talking about the last paragraph of the text, a voice suddenly came from the front row -

"Ah chirp..."

It was the sound of a girl sneezing.

Huihara raised her head and looked towards the source of the sound.

Kirishima Ai's face turned a little red, but it didn't seem like she was embarrassed, but more like she had a high temperature.

I hope I don't catch a cold.

"Are you okay?"

Huiyuan asked casually.

"No...it's okay."

"Oh."

Chapter 43: Teachers' Ethics Today

After school, the sky was still covered with grey haze, and the potholes in the road were filled with muddy water. As time passed, the sky became darker and darker, and it became difficult to distinguish between the sky and the dark clouds.

Kirishima Ai looked at the gray sky outside the window and did not go home. Although she was not on duty and had nothing else to do today, she did not leave immediately.

For her, it doesn’t really matter whether she goes home or not. No one cares about her and home is just a place to sleep.

For some reason, she walked towards the materials room shortly after everyone else left.

Her head felt a little dizzy and she had no strength to walk. Kirishima Ai felt like she was out of shape today.

Today, she wants to find Miss Lily.

She could say anything, she hoped to hear Miss Lily's voice.

Soon, she found a place she had been to several times.

Today was the same as last time. After I walked in, it was very quiet. There was no one inside and it didn’t look like anyone would come here. It was as if everything that happened before was just a dream.

Seeing that there was no one inside, Kirishima Ai felt a little disappointed at first.

But it was the same last time. If I had waited a little longer, maybe Miss Lily would have come over.

Just wait a little longer.

Kirishima Ai sat down in the dim material room, hugged her legs, and rested her chin lightly on her knees.

Time passed minute by minute, and outside the school, the sound of rain began to sound without anyone noticing.
