I'm a teacher in Tokyo!

Chapter 5 The helpless wretch
  Exorcists are usually decent beings in TV series or novels. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have such concerns.

But, this is the American version of The Grudge.

The exorcist set in the original work is a heavyweight player who completes the exorcism ritual by feeding evil spirits to coconut trees.

Their good and evil, Yoshizakigawa is really hard to say.

Maybe he would do it to himself because of the outrageous reason that he had been exposed to coconut milk.

After all, strictly speaking, the most important "prop" for them to exorcise evil spirits is the coconut milk. Only by "eating the evil spirits" can they completely eliminate those evil spirits.

Just when Yoshizakigawa felt a little uneasy, he suddenly saw Kayako in front of him who was still hesitating whether to take off his shoes and enter the room. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart. Did he have any choice now?
  Is it possible to get rid of this poor girl in front of you right now?

Regardless of whether he will be killed by him in the future, can he really get over his own level at this moment?
  She is already very pitiful. At this moment, she has become the only "pillar" that is good to her. If she is driven away at this moment, wouldn't it be the last straw that breaks the camel's back?

And from the fact that she yelled at the black cat because of her emotions just now, causing the mirror to break, but nothing happened to the black cat, it can be seen that her ability should be controllable, otherwise it would be the black cat's head that was broken just now .

"Take off your socks when they get wet."

Yoshizakigawa closed the drawer containing the fragmented mirror and already made a decision in his mind.

They are just exorcists. Since there are such existences as exorcists in this world, there must be more than two. If that doesn't work, the only way is to spend money to let these two exorcists experience the power of capital.

Anyway, there is still money in the predecessor's account, and the worst case scenario is that he will lose everything and ask other exorcists to protect him.

After all, for a person with the ability of "prophet", money is really not a big problem.

As for what if this world doesn't follow the path of the previous life?
  Don't forget that he is still a teacher in a university. Even if he does not make money from the "Plaza Accord", his income from being a cowboy in the school is still quite high.

In modern society, you can still find a way to do many things as long as you have money.

Hearing the teacher's words, Kayako carefully leaned down. From the corner of his eye, he saw the teacher closing the drawer without looking at him. He quickly took off his socks and stuffed them into his shoes. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped on them carefully. The board leaves a water-stained footprint;
  “Private Marseille!!”

The blushing Kayako hurriedly lifted up her skirt, hesitated for a moment, and then wiped it off on the ground;

The next moment, a hand grabbed her slender wrist;
  "It's okay, you don't have to be like this."

She broke away from Yoshizakigawa's hand like a frightened rabbit, and then grabbed her left wrist with her right hand: "...it's better to wipe it off. Teacher, do you have a towel? I'm really sorry, I, I didn't mean it."

"Wipe your feet first."

Yoshizakigawa was a little helpless. Kayako was always too sensitive. It seemed that he couldn't treat her with the same thoughts as he would treat ordinary women, otherwise he might create some kind of misunderstanding.

And this misunderstanding is a bit hard to bear!
  For details, please refer to a certain poor Shunsuke Kobayashi, whose family was ruined because of a misunderstanding of a simple act of kindness, such as passing a handkerchief.

Of course, to a certain extent, Kayako is also very tolerant.

In the original novel, Takeo Saeki domestically abused her and had a strong desire to control her to the point of being perverted, but Kagome still endured it silently. If the former hadn't brutally killed her, the latter might not have turned into a curse.

"So, I must let her know that I really care about her and will never alienate her because of trivial matters. Only in this way can the grudge be completely resolved!"

Grudges are hard to say and easy to say.

If after the curse is formed, any existence, even if he travels through time and becomes Shunsuke Kobayashi, will definitely not be able to resolve Kayako's resentment. After all, Kobayashi was also killed in the original work.

Before Kayako becomes a curse, there are too many ways to resolve it. Although she may be the American version of Kayako who swallows evil spirits, her physique is special. As long as she does not die, the curse swallowed by her will The spirit will not turn into her power. So as long as I let Kayako know that someone cares and feels loved, she will naturally not have any grudges.

Ji Qichuan secretly thought in his heart that as a veteran, he could easily see Kayako's character, her inner sensitivity and her tendency to think of bad things, and he already had a certain weight in her heart - that's right. , even if it was just the first meeting, the little kindness he showed was enough to leave a deep mark in Kayako's heart.

In the original novel, Shunsuke Kobayashi just handed her a handkerchief and he fell madly in love with her.

Her behavior was far more terrifying than sending a handkerchief, and it was precisely because of this that she cared so much about her image in her eyes.

Looking at the girl in the white dress who was carefully wiping the floor in front of her, it was extremely difficult for Yoshizakigawa to connect with the terrifying evil spirit in later generations. Of course, if he was around, she would not become the original evil spirit.

As if sensing the teacher's attention, she speeded up her wiping movements, wiping her feet clean in three strokes, and also wiped the dried footprints on the floor.

"Thank you."

After doing all this, she whispered.

"Have you had your meal with Coconut?"

At this moment, Ji Qichuan suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Kayako, who was already hungry, nodded hesitantly: "Eat... I've eaten."

——Actually, she spent the whole day wandering outside because she couldn't open the door at home, so she was hungry all day long.

But Kayako didn't want the teacher to know this. She always felt that if the teacher knew about it, he might pity her, but what she disliked the most was pity.

If concern turns into pity, wouldn't it make you look like a helpless wretch?
  ——Although it’s true to say that, but in short, it just doesn’t feel good.

She hopes that the teacher really cares about her, or... likes her, rather than showing pity for the poor thing like herself.

Looking at the thin girl, Yoshizakigawa smiled slightly:
  "Now that you've eaten...then, let's have another meal!"

"Ah? Ah?!"

She was stunned for a moment, as if it was difficult to understand Ji Qichuan's brain circuit, and she was a little down.

"Just treat it as eating with the teacher. After all, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if the teacher ate alone?"

"And - please believe in the teacher's craftsmanship, absolutely! It won't be bad!"

"No...that's not what I meant. I never doubted the teacher's craftsmanship, it's just..."

Hearing the last sentence, she stuttered in defense, but her tone of voice was breathless, which made it seem like she really meant it.

"Okay, that's it for now!"

Ji Qichuan issued the order.

Listening to the undoubted words, like a slave who had been given an order, she felt a moment of strange satisfaction in her heart, and whispered: "Yes..."
