Chapter 23 Then, continue with campus life

The tram from the hospital to the school was packed with people, and Toru Watanabe was almost unable to keep his feet on the ground.

But such a representative scene of daily life in Tokyo cannot bring him back to the real world.

The hospital immediately determined that Dr. Miyano died of heart failure due to working late at night; Kujo Miki's expressionless black-clad subordinates expertly treated him and the blood on the ground...

For a moment, Toru Watanabe, who was swaying along with the train, felt dizzy, wondering "where am I now, where am I going next, and what am I going to do when I get there?"

The train arrived at the station and he numbly followed the crowd out of the station. He stood on the ramp leading to Kamikawa High School. The students in school uniforms playing around around him finally brought him back to his senses.

Stepping into the campus again and walking around the tall oak tree, Toru Watanabe was called to the office by Aona Koizumi because the first class was over.

"Why did you come so late today?" she asked.

"I read very late yesterday and got up late today," replied Toru Watanabe.

"Really?" Koizumi Aina didn't believe it. "You didn't do anything bad over the weekend, did you?"

"teacher!"

"Ah? Hmm? What's wrong?"

Watanabe Toru suddenly raised his voice, which scared her, and several teachers who were sitting nearby also looked over.

"I'm late today because of the teacher!"

"For me?"

The gazes of colleagues around her made Koizumi Aona's fair oval face begin to turn red.

"The reason I'm late is because I stayed up all night last night to study English! I like Mr. Koizumi, so I've been trying my best to study English, the only subject I've been studying!"

The classroom and office were quiet.

Akiko had a mouthful of water in his mouth and forgot to swallow it;

Toru Watanabe, the elderly math teacher, pushed his reading glasses up;

The middle-aged female teacher was watering the flowers on the balcony, and the watering can in her hand remained at an angle for a long time...

Koizumi Aona's face flushed and she stood up suddenly.

"Watanabe! What are you talking about!?"

"Teacher Koizumi, come here." The principal, who was wandering around with nothing to do and always patrolling his territory with his hands behind his back, was attracted by the noise and greeted at the door of the office.

Watanabe Toru was about to faint. He just wanted to find a random excuse to hide the matter of Kujo Miki, but how come the principal suddenly appeared.

Kamikawa High School is very open about love. Although he has never seen it with his own eyes, Toru Watanabe heard from Kunii Osamu that some boys publicly confessed their love to girls, and the teachers just watched the show with laughter.

But it is absolutely prohibited between teachers and students.

He quickly explained: "Principal, my affection for Ms. Koizumi is just that of a teacher and student, and I respect her very much!"

The principal looked at the two people standing together. The teacher was young and beautiful, and the student was still a little boyish, but equally handsome.

However, no matter what the student thought of Koizumi Aona, Koizumi Aona herself did not seem to have that intention, and no one could stop the male student from admiring the beautiful female teacher.

He put his hands behind his back, gave Koizumi Aona a warning look, and let them go.

After the principal left, Akiko swallowed the water with a gulp and gave Watanabe Toru a thumbs up: "Watanabe, great! I support you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Akiko. I will continue to work hard on the path of being a Tokyo handsome guy."

"That's fine, I mean love! The age difference between you and Qingna is only..."

"Akira!"

"Uh-huh, I'll go get a glass of water."

Akiko walked away with the cup of water from which she had taken only one sip, and before leaving she gave a secret smile to Toru Watanabe.

Come on, boy... This is what Toru Watanabe understood the meaning of this smile.

Watanabe Toru responded with a youthful smile, which meant: Thank you for your support, but it is really not what you understand, teacher.

Akiko stood there, staring at him blankly, then came to her senses as if something serious had happened, put the cup of water to her lips, and walked away without drinking it.

Um?

Watanabe Toru couldn't understand what this action meant.

Koizumi Aonai sat down again with a headache: "What do you want me to say about you? You almost killed me."

"I'm sorry, teacher. But what I said is true. No matter how hard I try to learn English, I still respect and like you, teacher."

Koizumi Aona blinked quickly, then turned her head and looked at the succulent potted plants on the table, saying, "It's good that you didn't do anything bad. Go back quickly, the second class will start soon."

"Well, then I'll go back to the classroom first. Goodbye, teacher." Watanabe Toru turned around and responded with a smile.

"…Watanabe."

"Anything else, teacher?"

"You..." Koizumi Aona only looked at this side with the corner of her eyes, "Can you please stop smiling like that?"

Watanabe Toru was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

I actually forgot about this!

In order to survive, I exchanged for a charm that I thought was useless - [Smile Beauty]!

"Don't get me wrong! The teacher is not saying that your smile is ugly, or... anything else. The teacher means that you should be more natural."

"Maybe my face is numb because I slept on my stomach last night." Toru Watanabe rubbed his face.

"I see. Although studying is important, you also need to remember to take a good rest."

[Smile·Beauty] It seems that she is not completely useless, which made Koizumi Aona so panicked that she even believed this reason.

However, apart from being his English teacher who was destined to be great in the future, Aonai Koizumi was ultimately just an ordinary woman, unlike Miki Kujo, who was born into an elite family and had an extraordinary will.

To prevent himself from laughing, Toru Watanabe walked back to the classroom while rubbing his face.

The classroom was very lively on Monday morning. Everyone chatted with each other about what they did on Saturday and Sunday, where they went to play, and whether they had finished their homework.

As soon as he sat down in his seat, Kunii Osamu and Saito Keisuke came over.

"Watanabe, why did you come so late?"

"I overslept."

"What happened to your face?"

"toothache."

Saito Keisuke said with an understanding "Ah", "The toothache is really unbearable. I can't eat or sleep well."

"Does it hurt that much?" Kunihisa said incredulously, "Does it hurt when a baseball hits your toe?"

"Is the toothache worse?"

"No, no, no, no matter how you think about it, hitting the toes is more severe!"

Stop arguing, being stabbed by a knife hurts the most... Watanabe Toru would never say that, but he has no practical experience, he just looks at it and it looks very painful.

The three chatted for a while, and then Koizumi Aona walked in: "Everyone, take your seats. Class is about to start."

Toru Watanabe looked out of the classroom window. The early summer morning breeze blew the white clouds, crows flew over the wire fence of the tennis court, and in his ears he could hear Mr. Koizumi's patient teachings, and occasionally the whistle of the train passing Yotsuya Station.

This is the world of normal people.

Kidnapping, succinylcholine, bleeding with a dagger, a lady with trillions of assets, and men in black clothes do not exist here.

However, the look on Kujo Miki's face, which showed she had convinced him of her mistake, still lingered in his mind when she left in her car, leaving him to return to school.

Perhaps for the Kujo family, as long as they noticed, there was no difference between putting a poor student from the countryside like him in a cage and putting him in Tokyo or in the entire island country.

Very good, the chance of survival is great!

Toru Watanabe took out "The Great Gatsby" from his schoolbag.

He finished reading the book in a hurry, and apart from learning that "improving yourself can make most things simple" and a bunch of English words, he didn't have any deep impression of it.

He casually flipped a page, read for a second, and looked out the window.

'Insde, the crimson room bloomed with light. Tom and...'

“and…and…”

What about his ability to memorize everything? He could remember the first sentence in one second. He could have done that!

Toru Watanabe held the book in his hands, read it carefully this time, and then looked up at the ceiling.

'Insde, the crimson room...arms.'

'When...When we...When we...'

This time he memorized half a page and Watanabe Toru was very satisfied.

"Kujo Miki, I am growing at a speed and with effort that you can't even imagine. When I emerge, that will be the time for you to feel the pain!"

"Watanabe!"

"Ah? Here!"

"What are you doing instead of attending class?"
