I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

Chapter 286 Saeki Takeo
Conclusions and facts were ultimately no match for the midnight sleepiness and worrying reality.

"Kayako, you're right. Maybe I should think about it more... But there are still many things to deal with tomorrow. I think we should rest early."

Yoshizakigawa was a little lacking in confidence. This was the first time he did not seriously think about and listen to suggestions. Part of the reason was that he felt that Tomie and Kayako did not understand his difficulties.

Even if I understand, what can I tell you about Mako? The bet, the curse, the safety of the world... If I tell you, it will only increase the risk, and I can't afford it, and the world can't afford it either.

Damn it! How come I still understand them...

But compared to the two children's understanding of himself, Yoshizakikawa even hopes that they are "less sensible".

Only in this way can I conceal the truth with a clear conscience.

At the same time, Kayako felt sorry for the teacher. The dark circles under her eyes made her understand how much the teacher cared about her, and she also understood that he had his own reasons that he could not tell her.

It is precisely because of mutual understanding and empathy that she also knows Tomie's intentions - it is definitely not about being pampered in order to get love, but about wanting to take responsibility.

Two hearts separated by a belly, each with their own reasons——

But how to do it and how to say it?

The teacher is a male chauvinist who is unwilling to communicate and will not share his own difficulties.

Tomie is an anxious person. I see it with my own eyes, keep it in my heart, and can't say it out loud.

And I am the same.

"Let's prepare for tomorrow."

After saying this, Yoshizakigawa rubbed Kayako's little head and then walked back to his room.

Looking at the teacher's receding back, Kayako knew that she couldn't let this go on... Obviously, neither of them was wrong, and they were both thinking about the other, but if it continued like this, the two hearts would drift further and further apart.

In matters like this, as long as both parties know each other's difficulties, they can understand each other from the heart. So why not communicate?

It is obvious that Tomie's separation from the teacher is a very good result for her.

Even if you think from some dark side, from now on the teacher will belong to you alone, what a wonderful future this is.

but--

"Kayako, you can't be so selfish. Even if you're competing, you have to be fair and square."

This is the principle of life that the teacher taught him. On that bus, he pulled himself out and knew that he could never indulge in such selfish and paranoid thoughts again.

This is definitely not what the teacher wants to see.

Be upright, open and honest, and stand in the sun, this is what we should do.

Thinking of this, her eyes became firm;

"Well then, let's start the next step - the plan to counsel the teacher and Tomie-san!"

And in the invisible corners, the invisible and intangible curse and resentment that originally surrounded Kayako dissipated slightly;

But in the diary on the other side of the ocean, the curse becomes even stronger.

Life is like a multiple-choice question, or an unintentional thought or idea that drives you to make a choice. Different paths have different endings. These are the standard answers that have already been listed, and the choices you make again and again are the choices you make against these standard answers.

However, under the guidance of the curse, the road is so rugged that it is difficult for people to make a choice. …

The next day, due to the busyness, even the funeral became less sincere - even though there was no such thing as sincerity.

Yoshizakigawa contacted the funeral company in advance. When Momotaro Saeki heard about this, he decided to let Kayako hold a funeral in the house that was originally planned to be demolished and renovated for free, and personally presented a wreath.

Of course, this is also for the sake of Yoshizaki Kawa. After all, as a very young university president, no one knows what his future will be like.

Businessmen fear power, this is a common rule.

Besides, as the president of the only university here, there might be a time when he might be needed in the future, so if such a small thing can earn me a favor, why not do it?
But for Yoshizakigawa, these things are just trivial matters.

In response to Momotaro Saeki's flattery, all he did was respond with a smile and a pat on the shoulder.

But this was enough to make him extremely excited. His status was reversed and his former arrogance turned into humility.

Be respectful first and then be respectful, which makes people laugh when they think about it.

But Yoshizakigawa couldn't laugh. He didn't know what to do at the funeral. Whether in his previous life or this life, this was his first time to officially attend such an occasion.

As for the original body's parents, they have become vague in his memory, and besides, that was not his own experience.

At the funeral, there were flowers, music and dance, which were treatments they had never enjoyed in their lifetime.

At this moment, even the boundary between life and death seemed to become blurred.

When Yoshizakigawa thought back on the past, with the passage of time, he seemed to no longer have as much hatred for the couple's evil deeds. In the end, he just let out a light sigh, and returned to dust.

Kayako didn't seem like the master of this matter, but more like a bystander. She watched silently as her parents' urns were picked up, handed to her, and then handed over to the master of ceremonies. In front of everyone, they were placed in the grave. A handful of yellow soil fell, shaking the mourning flowers nearby and causing a few leaves to fall...

"Mr. Yoshizakigawa, it is a great honor for Kayako to be adopted by you."

Momotaro Saeki kept his word. He wore a neat suit and personally brought his child Takeo Saeki to the funeral. He bent over and looked at the girl holding flowers in the mourning hall, with a hint of smile on his old face.
Yoshizakikawa could not deny this. He did not want to say anything, but since the other party had come after all, he had to give him some face.

At the same time, Takeo Saeki beside him also looked at the girl in front of him curiously. With just one glance, the gloomy girl with a hint of alienation and loneliness attracted his attention deeply.
So beautiful——

He looked at the man in front of him again. Is this the girl's adoptive father?

"Tsukio, why don't you come over and say hello to your uncle Yoshizakigawa."

But Takeo Saeki was reluctant to call the man in front of him, who looked not much older than himself, "uncle". But when he thought that he was the adoptive father of the girl just now, he was moved and immediately pretended to be well-behaved: "Uncle!"

Yoshizakigawa frowned slightly. As an adult, how could he not see what Takeo Saeki was thinking? So he responded indifferently and then sent him away.

After Yoshizakigawa left, Takeo Saeki asked, "Dad, what's the girl's name?"

But when Momotaro Saeki heard this, alarm bells rang in his heart: "I warn you, don't have any thoughts about that girl."

"She is not an ordinary person. Did she show any sadness for even a moment during the funeral?"

……

"Yoshizakigawa, maybe we should talk."

At the same time, Tomie arrived late at the end of the funeral and spoke to Yoshizakigawa.
