In Tokyo: They are heavily dependent on me

Chapter 103. My Favorite Comprehensive Survey

My sister, with whom I've lived for over ten years, will be coming of age in a month. What gift would you like to give her that will leave her with the most unforgettable memories?

"As expected of today's advanced internet age," Xun thought to herself as she checked the replies.

If you want unforgettable memories, just give her a house, right?

First, let's temporarily disregard this answer.

Xun knew very well that he was not capable of doing that at his current level. Perhaps one day in the future he would be able to do it, but that was a matter for the future.

[If all you want is to create unforgettable memories, why not just pounce on her? (laughs)]

Kaoru looked at the user with the username "My Favorite Comprehensive Constellation" and considered the feasibility of doing so.

"Brother... is he finally unable to restrain himself and going to make a move on Rin?"

Rin, her cheeks slightly flushed, exhaled hot breath that tickled her neck as she looked at him with a gaze that seemed completely captivated.

That kind of younger sister... no, that's not Rin at all.

Therefore, this answer was also ruled out.

There's one last reply left.

Xun had lost his patience. He figured it would just be another bunch of weird answers anyway. Just as he was thinking this, the middle-aged man lecturing on the podium noticed him.

"Hoshino-kun, stand up."

All eyes turned to them in that instant.

The new Inoue-sensei... is terrifyingly strict. Unlike Shoko-sensei, who only appears strict, he is ruthless in his actions. He punishes students without restraint and calls parents over trivial matters. He is a true devil.

"Reiterate the points I just mentioned."

"Algebra... no, it should be sine and trigonometric functions."

"Hoshino-kun, please go outside and listen to the lesson. Also, this is a Japanese language class."

"Yes."

Under the pity in the young lady's eyes, Kaoru picked up her Chinese textbook and opened the sliding door.

After the sliding door slammed shut with a loud 'whoosh,' a terrifying silence fell over the classroom.

That's enough...

Kaoru thought of the gentle Shoko-sensei.

Compared to the stern demon in the classroom, Ms. Shoko, who would simply roll up her textbook and gently tap the forehead of the student who made a mistake, even if the student was doing something else unimportant in class, is practically the ideal teacher in every high school student's heart.

While Kaoru was reminiscing about the gentleness of Ms. Shoko.

The classroom door opened again, and Xiaolin, holding her Chinese textbook, looked down, appearing listless.

It seems she received the same treatment.

"So, what was the reason that Kobayashi came out?"

It's so nice to have someone with me to get through those long four classes.

"Sleep... I only slept for a minute! That old jerk is so annoying!"

It was obvious that Kobayashi was angered by that behavior, and Kaoru felt a sense of familiarity with her now.

"Compared to me, Ms. Shoko is much gentler."

Remembering that the two of them had done things that were "not allowed within the scope of the law," and that they were now being treated the same way, Kaoru felt a sense of accomplice to her.

Although it was my first time experiencing it, the feeling was surprisingly good.

"Hey, you've been getting really close to Ms. Shoko, haven't you? Do you know why she took two weeks of leave in a row?"

Perhaps it was just a misperception, but Kobayashi was skeptical about the fact that "Shoko-sensei had taken two weeks of leave in a row".

"It can't be because of you," her eyes conveyed that message.

"It's probably because of health reasons."

"After the teacher asked for leave, I went to visit her the next day. Do you know what happened?"

The doubt in his eyes had not disappeared.

Being stared at so directly felt like all my thoughts were being read.

"What happened?"

Even so, Kaoru still tried her best to put on an expression as if nothing had happened.

"The teacher has disappeared."

"Gone? What does that mean?"

I didn't quite understand the meaning of that sentence.

"It means 'disappeared,' the literal meaning of 'disappeared.'"

"You moved? Or was there another reason?"

"I don't know, and I can't get through on the phone. There's no trace left at home, it's like they've completely vanished from the face of the earth, that's why I used the word 'disappeared' to describe it."

"Yeah......"

It was probably because of his interference at the time.

Xun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her expression began to turn serious.

"I asked the owner of that apartment building, and according to her, it seems that Ms. Shoko has something important to do and needs to go home. But it's strange, isn't it? If she's going home, why is she packing her bags? It doesn't feel like she's going back to handle something important at all; it's more like... she's running away from something. Although I don't have any evidence, my intuition is always very accurate."

Kobayashi talked on and on, stroking his chin as if he were trying to think.

There are no plans to stop here.

After taking a deep breath, she continued speaking.

"In addition, the other party also mentioned that someone visited Ms. Shoko the day before she left. I'm wondering if the teacher's departure was related to that person."

Stop guessing!

This guy's intuition was terrifyingly accurate. In order not to reveal any flaws in front of her, Kaoru nodded in agreement, trying her best to control her reaction.

"Hmm, that makes sense. The timing of the incident is too coincidental. Perhaps it really is because of that guy."

"Hoshino-kun..."

"exist!"

Kaoru's breath almost stopped when the other person suddenly addressed her in a serious tone.

Kobayashi leaned closer, staring intently at his face.

"Do you think the person who visited Ms. Shoko's house is more likely to be a boy or a girl?"

"Well... it could be either gender, but the probability is probably higher for a boy."

Why would Hoshino-kun think that way?

A look of confusion appeared on Kobayashi's face, which was usually filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"Because... there are often news reports about this kind of thing, like teachers being fired for getting too close to students. If it were a girl, she probably wouldn't feel guilty about being with a student, right? It's different for boys. Maybe it's because of these things... because there are people she doesn't want to face that Ms. Shoko chose this method."

Because I am telling the truth, I don't have to worry about my true intentions being exposed.

Seeing the unwavering expression on Kobayashi's face as he answered, Kaoru breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "I'm saved."

Kobayashi didn't say anything more, only replying with a cold "Is that so?" before closing his eyes.

The surrounding air seemed to stop flowing at that moment, and Kaoru could hear the sound of her heart beating.

fraud.

At that moment, a voice from the depths of my heart spoke.
