Chapter 102 Super Howling Teacher (Please refresh the chapter)

Money is a very serious issue for high school students who want to make a living on their own.

This becomes even more apparent after earning a bit of money through part-time work. Tuition fees at private universities in Japan can easily reach several million. Just how long would a student have to work to earn that kind of money? The sheer number is terrifying.

Not to mention, if you want to go to college, can you really maintain excellent academic performance while working at a high intensity?

Generally speaking, it is unlikely for normal people.

Even Matsueda Azusa couldn't be unaware of this truth.

Although the care and love of family can indeed help one persevere, these intangible things cannot solve real problems. Spiritual food alone cannot fill the stomach. Love cannot satisfy one's hunger with just water, and Songzhi Zi also knows this.

So he got Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Student issues must, of course, be resolved using school methods. That's when the invincible Shizuka Hiratsuka comes into play.

Under everyone's gaze, a white figure rushed in from the bar door like lightning.

The white coat rustled loudly behind Shizuka Hiratsuka, bringing up a strong gust of wind.

Kawasaki Saki stared blankly at Shizuka Hiratsuka who had suddenly barged in, and said bewilderedly: "Hiratsuka...teacher?"

"Wait, this lady——"

Shizuka Hiratsuka pushed away the waiter who tried to stop her with one hand, and pointed at herself with her right thumb. "Kawasaki-san, have you heard about Sobu High School's scholarship policy?"

Kawasaki Saki hurriedly walked out from the bar, bowing repeatedly to the waiter and saying, "Sorry, sorry, senior! This is my teacher, and he's here to see me!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka sheepishly apologized to the waiter: "I'm sorry, I was so anxious... After all, this is about my students."

Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, Matsueda Azusa slowly took a step back and turned to look at Yukinoshita Haruno who had been standing in the corner watching him for some time.

He had noticed this girl a long time ago, but since she was tactful enough not to disturb them or come up to show off her presence, Matsueda Azusa just let her be.

"Why are you hiding there? You look like a rat in a yin hook, Yukinoshita-senpai."

Matsueda Azusa leaned against the wall, arms folded across her chest, glancing sideways at Yukinoshita Haruno, her words unabashedly sharp: "Are you afraid of being melted by this positive and friendly light?"

Yukinoshita Haruno had just taken off her wine-stained coat and simply fixed her hair, but the hasty treatment couldn't remove all the stains, and she still looked a little disheveled.

She didn't turn to look at Songzhi Zi, but continued to look at the people in front of her. Her face was expressionless, not frustrated, nor did she have a false smile. She just whispered, "A little bit."

Not hearing the expected reaction, Matsueda Azusa curled her lips in boredom. She hadn't expected Yukinoshita Haruno to admit it just like that.

That's true. Bad guys like them yearn for such a beautiful existence, but are also afraid of being burned by the beauty from the bottom of their hearts.

He looked at Kawasaki Saki and Daishi from the shadows and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "So-called brothers and sisters are just like that... family? A real... home."

Saki Kawasaki was seriously consulting Shizuka Hiratsuka about scholarship-related matters, and Daishi Kawasaki was standing beside her, also listening attentively, unable to hide the joy on his face.

Hikigaya Hachiman, with dead eyes, listening to his sister's scolding, and his cute sister Komachi, who lectured Hachiman seriously like a little adult, but then gave him a bright smile.

Perhaps this is what true family is like? It turns out that what he'd been searching for had always been there for Matsueda Azusa. It's just... it never belonged to him.

Yukinoshita Haruno hid her emotions again, looked at the muttering Matsueda Azusa, and said casually: "Not necessarily? Every family's situation is different. Isn't there a saying about the closest stranger? For example, Yukino and I... No, forget it."

Matsueda Azusa was slightly stunned when he heard this and looked at her subconsciously. He didn't expect Yukinoshita Haruno to suddenly say such a thing.

However, despite this, there is some truth to it.

He couldn't help but smile, but didn't deny it. He just nodded and explained, "Yes... But that's why I said that, like what's happening right now, that's a real home, a real family. Yukinoshita-senpai, your description is so apt... In a family like ours, the so-called family members are nothing more than the most familiar strangers."

I have to say, this is a really wonderful statement. He is clearly the closest to you, yet he is a stranger; he is clearly a stranger, yet he is the closest to you.

Although they are not a "real" family, they are connected by blood, material, real family and other factors.

It's more like a cage than a family.

It is precisely because of this, and because I have been living in the prison of such a false relationship, that...that is why I hope so much to find a real home, a real place to stay.

Does such a relationship exist in the world? Even without blood ties, even without being linked by kinship or material connections, one can still become family to each other - does such a relationship really exist in the world?

"After seeing this scene, you won't feel jealous again, will you, Yukinoshita-senpai?"

Matsueda Azusa felt his heart beating fiercely. He pretended nothing had happened and taunted Yukinoshita Haruno without turning his head, "Don't make plans this time to drag innocent people into the same bad situation you're in just because you're jealous."

Yukinoshita Haruno heard Matsueda Azusa's sarcasm, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she sighed and laughed, a somewhat bitter laugh: "What if I say I will do that, Azusa. Will you become a messenger of justice who protects others to stop me and punish me?"

"Ha, is that even a question? Of course I will stop you... but I won't be a messenger of justice."

Matsueda Azusa snorted coldly and lowered his eyebrows. "I don't deserve such a title... The title of villain is more suitable for me than the messenger of justice. If I had to say it, it can only be regarded as fighting evil with evil. Don't forget, I said that if I see you do this again, I will punch you in the face. I mean what I said."

"Really? That's great."

Yukinoshita Haruno sighed softly, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes, and turned and left.

Matsueda Azusa didn't look at her and didn't say much.

"Minister! Why are you hiding in this place?"

Hikigaya Hachiman noticed Matsueda Azusa hiding alone in the shadows, walked over inconspicuously, and asked him in a low voice.

"...I'm looking for a place that's more compatible with me. What do you think of this place?"

A smile returned to Matsueda Azusa's face, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He put an arm around Hikigaya Hachiman's shoulders and pointed down at the ground. "Standing here, do you look like a hero who secretly saves the world? Like Batman?"

"Don't curse yourself like that, Minister..."

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes twitched when he heard this, and many hellish jokes quickly popped up in his mind, and he couldn't help but complain.

"Okay, no kidding. Actually..."

Songzhi Zi's face turned serious.

Seeing that Matsueda Azusa's tone had turned serious, Hikigaya Hachiman also immediately became serious and listened attentively to what Matsueda Azusa said next: "Actually, I was thinking about your next practice plan. Playing in a band is not an easy job, come on, Hachiman!"

Hikigaya Hachiman's face drooped instantly, and he managed a forced smile: "Ha...haha, Buchou, this joke is quite funny. You're really good at joking."

"Why, I'm your coach, are you dissatisfied?"

Matsueda Azusa pointed at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was not far away. "If it's not me, then it's Shizuka. You pick one. My charged attack can't do as much damage as hers."

"...What if you don't want to choose either one, Buchou..."

Hikigaya Hachiman said sheepishly, "Speaking of which, if we're forming a band... wouldn't there still be a lot of spots missing with just three of us? I suggest we invite Wenshui-san to join us—we're all members of the club, and we can't be separated for a moment! We advance together, and we stand together!"

Sorry, Wen Shui... Hikigaya Hachiman silently repented in his heart. He didn't want to be under the double supervision of Matsueda Azusa and Hiratsuka Shizuka. One of them dealt mental damage and the other dealt physical damage. He didn't even dare to imagine how much like hell his life would be.

Rather than him suffering alone, why not drag others into this? If Wenshui's sister had the same attributes as Komachi, she'd definitely agree, right? Okay, it's decided! I must drag Wenshui into this too! He can't be the only one to spend time with his sister. That's too unfair!

Just then, a strong wind blew.

Shizuka Hiratsuka grabbed Matsueda Azusa and Hikigaya Hachiman by the necks with one hand each, and said energetically, "Why are you two hiding in such a dark and damp corner, whispering to each other? You don't act like students at all! Come on! Let me buy you a drink to celebrate!"

Songzhi Zi declined politely: "Xiao Jing, don't you look like a teacher at all? And... we can celebrate, but Xiao Jing, you can't drink."

He knew what Hiratsuka Shizuka was like when he drank. This guy was a complete drunkard.

"what?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka was shocked: "How can it be a celebration without drinking? Going to the bar without drinking is like going to the bathroom but just going shopping! My parents didn't stop me from drinking! And you, little brat, are controlling me!"

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but complain: "What a disgusting metaphor! Besides, we're a group of minors here, and no one else can drink except you, the teacher? It's too much for a teacher to be with students and lead the drinking...."

"Xiao Jing, if you get drunk, no one can take you home. You don't want to be hungover in this bar until dawn, do you? It sounds very pitiful. Don't live like a middle-aged office worker."

Matsueda Azusa handed the cup to Hiratsuka Shizuka. "Just some ginger ale is enough. It tastes pretty much the same. After all, what's so good about alcohol?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka rubbed Azusa Matsueda's head vigorously and said, "It's because life is so bitter that the wine seems to be less bitter."

"In that case, Xiaojing, you should eat Coptis chinensis."

Matsueda Azusa reached out and slapped Hiratsuka Shizuka's evil hand away. "And that's a really strange thing to say, coming from you. What's so hard about your life? Aside from not being able to find a partner, you've been living a pretty carefree life. Smoking, drinking, racing, eating ramen—I've never seen you give up on these things."

"Why are you attacking the teacher personally? You are such an unlovable brat."

Shizuka Hiratsuka showed a hurt expression, but then reached out and poked the corner of Matsueda Azusa's mouth, gently making it curl up: "Besides, if my life is happy and fulfilling, not bitter at all... then your life should be the same, Matsueda."

Matsueda Azusa looked up at Hiratsuka Shizuka in surprise.

Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled. "Look, your friends are here, and I'm here too. You can form a band as you wish. Matsueda, actually... you can be as happy as everyone else."

Songzhi Zi was stunned for a while, and finally smiled: "Xiao Jing, you are such a good teacher. If I could be born ten years earlier, if I could have met you ten years earlier... I think I would definitely pursue you."

"You little brat, you're teasing the teacher again!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka punched Azusa Matsueda on the head and then gulped down the ginger ale in her glass. "Wow! Refreshing! Matsueda, let me make an exception today. How about I treat you to a drink? Once you've tasted the bitterness of wine, you'll appreciate the sweetness of life!"

"That's a crime, Xiaojing."

Songzhi Zi chuckled: "I don't want to only see you in prison."

"Uh-huh..."

The next morning, Matsueda Azusa woke up feeling uncomfortable all over and stared at the blank ceiling in a daze.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka was very obedient and stopped asking everyone to drink, Azusa Matsueda never expected that she would vomit even after drinking ginger ale - not because she was drunk, but because she was too high and didn't notice that she was full.

He looked even older than the middle-aged office worker uncle. The filter that Shizuka Hiratsuka had just created in Azusa Matsueda's eyes yesterday was instantly shattered.

Fortunately, in the end, a randomly refreshed Yukinoshita Haruno picked up the vomited Hiratsuka Shizuka, otherwise everyone really didn’t know what to do.

Sometimes adults are not always reliable.

Oh, come to think of it... I called Hiratsuka Shizuka and Hikigaya Hachiman to practice today.

I don’t know if Shizuka Hiratsuka can get up.

After struggling to wash and tidy herself up, Matsueda Azusa rushed to the agreed address in a listless manner.

Just then, a phone rang.

Matsueda Azusa picked up the phone. It was Miura Yumiko calling.

As soon as the call was connected, she heard a shocked voice on the other end: "What's going on?! Why did I just wake up and hear that Kawasaki-san's problem has been perfectly resolved? In fact, everyone except me went to that bar last night? Even Hiratsuka-sensei went?! You are ostracizing me!"

Matsueda Azusa quickly put the phone away and rubbed his frightened ears. He felt his groggy brain instantly clear up: "Indeed... But you overlooked Onmizu-san and Yanami-san."

Miura Yumiko complained: "That's not important, what's important is...I wasn't there - I mean, I didn't see the good show!"

"It's not that I don't allow you to come, it's you who can't come, okay."

Songzhi Zi helplessly complained: "Before blaming others, think about whether it is your own problem."

Miura Yumiko replied: "Instead of blaming yourself, blame others. This is what you taught me."

“…Fuck you.”

Songzhi Zi rolled his eyes and said, "If you have something to say, please say it. If not, I'll hang up now."

Miura Yumiko replied subconsciously: "It's okay, but..."

"Didi"

Songzhi Zi decisively hung up the phone.

Looking at the black screen of her phone, Yumiko Miura was so angry that her hair was about to fly off her head: "You said it was a cheat, but it really is! Asshole!"

When we arrived at the agreed location, Hikigaya Hachiman had not arrived yet, but what we didn't expect was that Hiratsuka Shizuka, who vomited so much yesterday, arrived first.

It seems she really has a wealth of skills for dealing with hangovers.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka looked like she was chatting with someone else at the moment.

Songzhi Zi walked over quickly.

Standing opposite Shizuka Hiratsuka was a girl with long flaxen hair, who looked a little timid. Shizuka Hiratsuka was talking to her with her hands and feet gesticulating, which seemed a bit exaggerated. Passersby couldn't help but cast their eyes on her frequently, but Shizuka Hiratsuka herself had no reaction to this.

"Hey, Xiaojing. You're so full of energy today too."

Matsueda Azusa extended his hand and said hello: "But please pay a little attention to your image."

The girl next to her was startled by the sudden appearance of Matsueda Azusa and shrank back, looking like some kind of small animal.

Is he so scary?

Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but reflect on herself.
