Chapter 248 Jealousy Day
The bell rang and it was time to go home from school.
"What are you going to do? Hide in your schoolbag?" asked Qingye Rin.
"No need to go through so much trouble." As soon as he finished speaking, Watanabe the cat jumped up and pounced on "Koizumi Aona".
"Ah!" Koizumi Aona was startled and subconsciously covered her face with her arms.
In Kiyono Rin's sight, the moment the Watanabe cat approached "Koizumi Aona", it decomposed into white light spots similar to fireflies, and returned to his original body one by one.
"Koizumi Aona" put down her arms, looked for the cat and asked about the situation.
"Soul?" Kiyono Rin whispered, without answering Koizumi Aona's question.
The two packed their bags and locked the door of the club classroom.
On the way to the school gate, the baseball team was still practicing in the dusk.
"Bang——" With a crisp hitting sound, a ball fell not far from the two people.
"Hey--" Kuniu Osamu stood far away and waved over here.
That was where Toru Watanabe's previous thrown balls had landed.
"Throw it back." Kiyono Rin reminded Koizumi Aona.
"Me? I don't know baseball."
“This isn’t baseball, you just throw it back.”
"All right."
"Koizumi Aona" walked over, picked up the dirty ball, and looked towards the baseball field. Kunii Osamu was so far away that he couldn't even see his face.
"It seems I have to use all my strength." As she said this, she threw the baseball out in a very outside-door posture.
Seeing her posing, Kunii Osamu even raised his hands above his head and pretended to catch a ball.
Waiting for the ball to be shot, he stood there motionless with his mouth wide open.
"Where's the ball?"
This was the question that everyone who saw this scene, including Koizumi Aona herself, had in mind.
The sweaty baseball coach looked over here, holding the brim of his hat .
While "Koizumi Aona" was still in a daze, Kiyono Rin walked straight towards the school gate.
"Kiyono-san, did you see where the ball went?" "Koizumi Aono" took two quick steps to catch up.
"Ask Watanabe later."
"How could he know?"
"If he doesn't know, no one knows." Qingye Rin answered briefly.
After walking around the increasingly lush oak trees, I could already see the school gate not far away.
At the school gate, a cat was squatting on the high red brick wall. Many girls gathered below, pointing their mobile phones at the cat like journalists.
The cat didn't care about human high school girls or mobile phones. It sat quietly on the high wall with a very beautiful curve.
The hair, which was softer than a swan's feathers, seemed to sway gently even in this windless evening.
Coupled with the madder light of the sun, the cat is covered with a gorgeous golden coat, making it look noble.
"What kind of cat is this? A ragdoll?"
"It's so furry and beautiful, a bit like a Siberian forest cat!"
"Look at its face, it's so innocent and cute, it must be a chinchilla cat!"
"The eyes are so big and round! Ah! So cute! I want to take them home!"
"Whose is this? Does it have an owner?"
The female high school student took photos while trying to lure the cat down with leftover snacks from the day while looking for the cat's owner.
It seemed that once they were sure that the cat had no owner, they planned to take it away directly.
"Koizumi Aona" stared at the cat with eyes wide open in disbelief.
The cat's eyes, sparkling like two transparent glass beads, were also looking at them.
"Why is he here?" she couldn't help but say to Qingye Rin.
Qingye Rin didn't answer her and walked straight over.
Her aura was like an indestructible icebreaker. Even if the girls under the wall were unwilling, they had to give her way.
"Come down." Qingye Rin said to the cat in the sunset.
The cat leaped lightly and landed lightly at her feet.
Before Kiyono Rin came, if the cat dared to fall to the ground like this, it would probably be drowned by the female high school students.
But he followed at Kiyono Rin's feet, and those female high school students could only watch him go away with reluctance.
Such a beautiful cat, following at the feet of such a beautiful Kiyono Rin, actually gives people a warm feeling, like a scene from an animation about the "daily life of a girl and a cat".
After leaving the school gate, the two people and the cat continued to attract attention from everyone around them.
Along the way, none of the three spoke.
The cat is extraordinarily beautiful. If it could speak, it would probably become one of the "Urban Legends Series".
They walked to a membership-only dessert shop in Shinjuku.
It is said that this is a high-end store that only acquaintances can enter. As soon as Qingye Rin bought an apartment near the school, someone sent her a membership card.
Qing Ye Lin would not carry that kind of card with her, but since she came in person, everything would not be a problem.
There was a band in the store consisting of female college students and high school girls, singing self-composed songs.
Two people and a cat sat in a private room in the corner.
"Koizumi Aona" looked around. She had never seen such a high-end place even on TV.
The screenwriters responsible for the script may not be able to imagine the story that happened here.
"Kiyono-san," she said, "what does your family do?"
The manager's respectful attitude just now left a deep impression on her.
"This store is the private property of one of Kujo Miki's relatives," explained Kiyono Rin.
Watanabe Neko remembered the person who took the initiative to help him move the stool when he accompanied Kujo Miki to a meeting before returning to Iwate Prefecture.
His triangular cat mouth released the straw: "Kujo Shinsuke?"
"Probably, I can't remember clearly." No matter how good Qingye Rin's memory is, a name from a long time ago that he doesn't want to remember will naturally be vague.
She was not interested in these things and asked:
"Why are you at the school gate? I thought you turned into a spirit and returned to your body."
"I did return to my body at that time." Watanabe Neko took a sip of the colorful drink, "but I can randomly choose a place within a hundred meters of my main body to appear."
"Can you see outside?" "Koizumi Aona" stared at the cat's glass eyes.
"It's okay at the moment of manifestation. If I could see it all the time, I wouldn't be turned into a cat by the God of Seino because I was too bored."
“I see.”
Seeing her obviously relieved look, Watanabe Cat looked at her suspiciously:
"Respected sixteen-year-old Koizumi-sensei, you used my body to do something illegal?"
"No! Absolutely not!"
"Suspicious." Watanabe Cat tried to put the straw in his mouth again, but it slipped to the side and he held it with his paw.
A cat making such a move made Kiyono Rin, who was originally looking at "Koizumi Aona", couldn't help but look over.
She pulled out her cell phone and took a picture.
Stare at the photo, ponder for a while, and set it as your desktop wallpaper.
During this time, "Koizumi Aona" took the opportunity to change the subject and asked about the baseball incident just now.
"What baseball?" Watanabe the cat purred as he drank his drink. His chubby little face was very cute.
『Koizumi Aona』 couldn't help but poke it with her hand. It felt soft and warm.
Watanabe Toru used his claws to push her hand away: "Teacher, what baseball am I asking you about?"
"It's like this..." 'Koizumi Aona' recounted what happened just now, "Where did baseball go in the end?"
"Who knows? Maybe it went to Kyoto and fell into the Uji River. Or maybe it flew into the sky and hit a plane from Hokkaido to Shanghai."
"It's not that exaggerated." Koizumi Aona said dissatisfiedly, thinking that Watanabe Cat was playing tricks on her.
It's not that exaggerated, but Watanabe Cat still decided to pay attention to the latest news, hoping not to hit anyone.
In the following time, Kiyono Rin continued to talk about the [Shinagawa Aquarium Date Incident].
"…Watanabe Toru confessed his love to Kujo Miki in front of all the teachers and students in the courtyard during the exam."
"Then what? Then what?" Koizumi Aona asked impatiently.
She seemed to no longer regard Kujo Miki as a witch and was just listening to a love story.
Qing Ye Lin glanced at the cat Watanabe lying on the table in large letters: "You can say those words yourself."
"Koizumi Aona" looked over immediately.
Watanabe the cat yawned, scratched his belly, and said in a perfunctory, emotionless voice:
"Miji Kujo from Class 2, Grade 1, I like you. I swear to Kamikawa High School, Yotsuya Station, and everyone, Miji, I like you the most, please date me."
After he finished speaking like a line, "Koizumi Aona" was not satisfied at all.
But she could imagine the scene herself.
A handsome boy stood in the courtyard of May and confessed his love to a girl in a classroom.
"It's so romantic. I hope a boy will confess to me like this in the future," Koizumi Aona said excitedly.
"Impossible, no hope, just give up." Watanabe Cat stretched out his legs and rolled around.
It's a rare opportunity to be a cat, so of course I have to experience it well.
"Koizumi Aona" was about to refute, but then she remembered her future which had already been determined, so she had to drink the drink unwillingly.
With a buzzing sound, "Koizumi Aona" took out Watanabe Toru's cell phone.
"Hello."
"Watanabe?" It was Koizumi Aona's voice.
"No, it's you."
"What? Oh, it's Xiaonai? Where have you been?"
"I'm eating with Kiyono-san."
"Are you still having dinner?"
"Koizumi Aona" looked at the cat Watanabe who was doing a handstand, and the cat Watanabe wagged its tail.
"I don't want to eat anymore." She said to Aona Koizumi on the other end of the phone.
"good."
While taking photos of the cat, Kiyono Rin casually asked:
"You have a good relationship with Mr. Koizumi, and he even invites you to dinner."
"Mr. Koizumi and I..." Cat Watanabe began to do sit-ups, "a pure teacher-student relationship."
Hearing this, Koizumi Aona felt uncomfortable for no reason.
"That's all for today." She stretched lazily, then picked up her schoolbag and left her seat.
After taking two steps out, she turned back and asked Watanabe Cat: "Are you leaving or not?"
"If you leave, how can I not leave?" Watanabe Cat said helplessly, then jumped lightly and turned into light particles in the air.
Looking at the light spots surrounding her and entering her body one after another, Koizumi Aona seemed to smile, but immediately stopped herself.
"Goodbye, Kiyono-san. Watanabe and I will go home first," she said.
Kiyono Rin's slender white fingers slid across the screen of her phone, admiring the photo of Watanabe's cat she had just taken.
"Koizumi-san," she continued looking at the photo, "it's normal to like Watanabe, but if you think there's something special between you two just because you used his body, that's a big mistake."
"What are you talking about? How could I possibly think that?"
Kiyono Rin zoomed in on a photo to see the sparkling pupils of the cat Watanabe:
"Watanabe is a very cold person to other girls and hardly interacts with them, but you are Koizumi Aona, a teacher, and he sometimes fails to keep a good distance and appears too intimate."
She turned off her phone with a little satisfaction, put it back in her bag, and picked up her schoolbag.
"Kiyono-san, I told you, I don't like him." 'Koizumi Aono' said with helplessness in his tone.
Kiyono Rin walked up to her and looked at her with eyes that looked exactly like Watanabe Toru himself, but the light and emotions in them were completely different.
She said:
"If it was 25-year-old Mr. Koizumi, facing Watanabe's closeness, he would know exactly what it was and what he should do, but can you, at 16, tell the difference?"
"Oh, Kiyono-san!" 'Koizumi Aona' let out a long sigh.
Qingye Rin looked at her deeply and said, "Because I didn't explain it clearly, I have missed some things, so I don't want to make the same mistake again."
"I totally don't understand what you are saying."
"It may not be appropriate for me to play such a role. I should discuss it with you. Maybe it will be easier for you to accept it."
After saying the last sentence, Qingye Rin left.
"People in Tokyo are so self-righteous. What do they know about me? I've told you I just care a little about him." 'Koizumi Aona' put the schoolbag on her shoulder.
After returning to the Shinano-machi apartment, she lay directly on the super-large bed and rolled around happily.
She lay on her back on the bed and tried to ask, "Toru Watanabe?"
The room was empty and no one responded to her.
She held the pillow in her arms and hunched her body sideways: "It seems that I really can't see outside."
Just then, a cat walked in from the living room.
"Teacher Koizumi, what are you doing holding my pillow?"
"Ah!" Koizumi Aona was so scared that she threw the pillow away.
Watanabe Cat turned his head slightly to avoid the attack.
"You scared me to death!" Without waiting for Watanabe Neko to speak, 'Koizumi Aonai' continued with a little annoyance, "You know how scary it is when a sound suddenly appears in a person's room!"
"That's true." Watanabe Neko crossed his arms and reflected on himself, "I didn't consider it comprehensively enough."
"Why did you come out suddenly?" Koizumi Aona sat up and asked.
"Today is Wednesday."
"Then what?"
"It's the day that Mai-senpai and I planned to have dinner together."
"So this is why you rejected my request? No, you rejected the invitation from my future self."
"That's about right." Watanabe Neko said, "Can you please go back, sixteen-year-old little Koizumi teacher?"
"No." Koizumi Aona lay down again.
"reason?"
"Sleeping in, not wanting to get up early."
"What about my date?"
"Next week, I'll try to get up one day earlier and give my body back to you."
"But, Senior Mai will be here later." said Cat Watanabe.
"Oh right, how about this? Let's see if she can tell that I'm not you? If Mai-senpai doesn't love you as much as Kiyono-san does, she might not even notice."
"Why do you do this?" Watanabe Cat asked puzzledly.
"A test of love? Don't you want to see how much she loves you?"
"Love that can stand the test is indeed great, but love is not meant to be tested. Besides, I believe in Senior Mai."
"Since you believe it, why not give it a try?"
"Because I believe in it, I won't do such a thing. Love can be tested, but how boring is it for someone to take the initiative to test love?"
"Do you trust her so much?"
"Of course." Watanabe Cat replied immediately.
"That Kujo Miki too?"
"Meiji?" When mentioning this name, Watanabe Neko puffed out his chest, "Although her love life is bumpy and her personality is bad, Meiji will definitely doubt you the moment she sees you."
"She loves you more than Kiyono Rin and Asuka Mai?"
"Perhaps, the main reason for her doubt is that she likes to doubt."
"What?" 'Koizumi Aona' lay down again.
After a while, she said, "I'm sleeping, don't disturb me."
Then at this moment, the sound of a door opening could be heard faintly.
"Watanabe?" A cold yet gentle voice, and the sound of approaching footsteps.
'Koizumi Aona', who didn't have time to fall asleep, jumped up, and looked at Watanabe Toru with panicked eyes as if asking for help.
