Tokyo's most affectionate

"If you see me outside of school in the future, you can call me Ninomiya-senpai or Ninomiya-senpai. After all, I also graduated from the University of Tokyo, so I am your senior."

Her gaze was direct, and the underlying message might not be understood by others, but Kurosawa Hikaru understood it.

Her eyes seemed to say, "I won't wait for those two and a half years. Now I am Ninomiya-senpai. From today on, there will no longer be any separation or restriction between us as a teacher and a student."

"Why is she so impulsive..."

Faced with this situation, Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised, but more helpless.

He didn't see Miss Ninomiya the whole day yesterday, nor did he receive any message from her. He could sense that she was definitely planning something big.

But what he never expected was that the ultimate move she had was so terrifying.

Although this is what Ninomiya Chizuru said, no one accepted it at all.

"How can that be possible? Once a teacher, always a teacher."

"No matter where I see you, I will still call you teacher."

"Yes."

Japanese people respect teachers and education very much. Teachers have a very high status in society and are paid even better than civil servants.

Normally they are respectfully addressed as "sir", teachers at the University of Tokyo, and are even on par with members of parliament, enjoying treatment that is above the national level.

As long as you wear a teacher badge, if you take the bus, the elderly will give you seats, and there are special seats for teachers on the tram. If you go shopping, as long as you can prove that you are a teacher, you can also enjoy extremely high discounts.

Because in the eyes of the Japanese, teachers are a profession that makes great sacrifices for society and is therefore extremely sacred.

This is not only true for teachers in schools, but also for teachers who open temples and teach the Dharma.

Sato Shinichi's social status is extremely high and he has a terrifying appeal. After all, he has disciples all over the world.

As for Kurosawa Mitsuru, he doesn't have such harsh thoughts, because even though he has lived in this land for twenty years, his ideas and concepts are still fundamentally different from those of the Japanese.

"This……"

Seeing everyone's enthusiastic attitude, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was originally staring at Kurosawa Hikaru, suddenly froze.

To be honest, she would rather everyone not call her teacher when they see her in the future, or even forget about it.

In this way, when others see her and Kurosawa together in the future, they will not think that they used to be teacher and student.

Otherwise, she would never be able to hold her head high and feel at peace with herself in her life.

“Thank you for your love and I hope you all have a relaxing and enjoyable summer vacation.”

Ninomiya Chizuru took a deep breath, took two steps away from the podium, bowed to all the students, then turned and left, not daring to stay any longer.

In full view of everyone, she quickly walked out and left everyone's sight.

"How could this happen? Why did Mr. Ninomiya suddenly resign?"

Miyazaki Yuta, who had been smiling because summer vacation was approaching, watched her leave and his mood suddenly plummeted.

This is too sudden...Normally, Japanese people's careers are lifelong.

If one has been a teacher for a lifetime, there will even be a very formal farewell ceremony in the year of retirement, and students will be notified in advance to gather.

"Could it be that Ms. Ninomiya is planning to get married? Go home and be a housewife." Suddenly, someone guessed a possibility.

"How can I be a housewife? The job of a teacher at the University of Tokyo is so awesome."

"How is it impossible? Teacher Ninomiya is so beautiful and talented, maybe she has a boyfriend with a prominent family background and is planning to get married."

"How prominent can it be?"

"For example, the wealthy people of the big conglomerates, the rich men whose net worth is measured in trillions? Anyway, they are the big figures who are not convenient for people to discuss."

"Wow……"

"According to what you said, she is not going to be a housewife, but a young lady."

"really."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly felt less upset.

Although everyone is reluctant, they have no right to stop Mr. Ninomiya from pursuing a better life.

"Kurosawa, you've been in a very depressed mood these past two days. Could it be that you already knew about this? After all, you have a pretty good relationship with your teacher, and she even had a private talk with you a few days ago."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Miyazaki Yuta turned his head to look at Kurosawa Mitsuru next to him, and found that his reaction was very calm, so he asked.

"No, I just found out about it too."

In response to this question, Kurosawa Mitsuru spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

He really didn't expect that his words would stimulate Miss Ninomiya to choose to resign and make up her mind not to be a teacher anymore.

Is she too smart and guessed the situation on the day of the Kyudo Competition? Is she anxious because of the sense of crisis?

Chapter 8 August 10

The sudden resignation was like a bucket of cold water, dampening many people's enthusiasm for summer vacation.

However, life has to go on. Although everyone felt sorry for a while, people's attention soon shifted to why Chizuru Ninomiya resigned.

"Could it be that Mr. Ninomiya is being bullied in the workplace?"

Some people are making bold guesses.

"Hush! Do you want to die? Talk like that."

Hearing this, his friends hurried to stop him.

In today's Japan, no matter what kind of workplace it is, contempt and unfair treatment of women are prevalent.

The reason for this is that during the bubble era at the end of the last century, feminism was prevalent, but it was also hit and declined.

During the bubble era, the social status of Japanese women reached its highest peak in history.

But everything that rises must fall; the higher you stand, the harder you fall.

As the bubble burst, women also fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

In today's era, most workplaces are dominated by men. It is very difficult for women to enter senior workplaces. Even if they do, there is a high possibility of being harassed in the workplace when there are more men than women.

Having said that, if a workplace harassment scandal broke out at a world-renowned university like the University of Tokyo, it would be a serious problem.

There are many different opinions about the reasons for the resignation, but no one can give a possible basis for belief, only conjectures.

In the classroom, there was only one person who had an idea, and that was Kurosawa Hikaru.

"It's not even the Kyudo Tournament yet. Isn't it irrational for her to do this? Can my words have such a big impact on her?"

But even Kurosawa Mitsuru was shocked by the news for a long time and found it difficult to accept it.

In fact, when they went traveling together before, he vaguely felt that Ninomiya Chizuru didn't really like being a teacher.

Perhaps she has a very high social status and a generous salary, but she became a teacher not out of personal pursuit, but simply to escape the control of her parents.

As long as she is given an opportunity, such as the rise of Zero Hour, a firm in which she participated in a large investment, and can use her performance to completely curb her parents' gossip, she will definitely resign without hesitation.

But now, the firm has not officially taken off, and has not even signed any sky-high contracts, but she suddenly resigned.

Ninomiya Chizuru made this choice for him. Faced with a sense of crisis, she resolutely chose to resign.

But by doing so, she would be pushing herself into a dead end.

"Is she such an irrational person..."

While thinking, Kurosawa Mitsuru was also a little surprised.

In his opinion, Chizuru Ninomiya is a very smart, rational, mature person who keeps her thoughts and impulses deep in her heart and is calm and composed.

As someone who is capable of being a teacher of economics and a senior who graduated from the University of Tokyo, every move she makes should be carefully calculated, and she would only take action after weighing the pros and cons.

In short, she would never behave like a gambler who would risk everything at any cost.

"What on earth was she thinking?"

Puzzled, Kurosawa Hikaru suddenly felt that Miss Ninomiya was very strange.

Her behavior was out of control and illogical, and it was impossible to guess what she was thinking and planning.

Such an extreme action made him worried, even an indescribable sense of heaviness, and made him afraid that she would do something else extreme.

The work of the following teachers is similar, either assigning homework or reminding everyone to be aware of their identity as Tokyo University students during the summer vacation.

With the arrival of lunch break, all disciplines at the University of Tokyo have officially started their summer vacation.

Following the large group out of the classroom, Kurosawa Mitsuru also went downstairs and soon reached the first floor and walked out of the economics teaching building.

However, when he walked out of the teaching building and towards the school gate, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated and made a sound.

Realizing this, Kurosawa Hikaru took out his cell phone and saw that it was a message from Ninomiya Chizuru.

"Kurosawa, you don't have to worry about me anymore."

Seeing this message, Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned.

Somewhere in the dark, he felt a very strong gaze and couldn't help but look back.

Behind a window on the side of the second floor, Chizuru Ninomiya was standing there looking at himself.

There was a faint smile on her lips, but there was no strange expression on her face. Her ice-blue eyes were very bright in the shadows of the building.

It's a scary feeling to suddenly look back and find someone staring at you...even if she is smiling.

Even Kurosawa Hikaru couldn't help feeling a tingling scalp and a chill on his back under this sunny summer sun.

"What does she mean?"

At this moment, Kurosawa Mitsuru really couldn't figure out what was going on in her mind.

However, the two people staring at each other from a distance did not last long.

This time, Ninomiya Chizuru was the first to retract her gaze and turned away.

She was holding a large cardboard box in her hands, which contained her personal belongings during her time working at the University of Tokyo, which meant that she had really resigned and was not joking.

"Kurosawa, are you waiting for me?"

Just then, someone came from behind and patted him on the shoulder. Miyazaki Yuta was a little surprised.

"Yes."

Because he spoke first and then took the photo, Kurosawa Mitsuru was not scared. He recovered and nodded accordingly.

"What's wrong? You look so pale. Is the resignation of Mr. Ninomiya such a big blow to you?"

Yuta Miyazaki walked up to him and saw his profile, feeling a little confused.

"A little bit."

Realizing that he looked a little bad, Kurosawa Hikaru nodded again.

"Let's go. I hope that after Mr. Ninomiya resigns, he can be happy. Being a teacher is tiring anyway. This is a relief."

Seeing how depressed he was, Yuta Miyazaki reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him forward and comforting him.

Teachers in Japan have a high social status and are respected, but this is also recognized as one of the most tiring jobs in Japan, and the average working hours per week are exaggerated.

The two walked side by side out of the school.

"I may run into relationship problems during the summer vacation. I'll message you for help then, but remember to reply."

"no problem."

Although Kurosawa Mitsuru was worried, he still agreed to his request.

Soon, they parted ways because they were going home in different directions.

Taking the tram and walking along the way, as usual, Kurosawa Hikaru returned home.

"She told me not to worry about her affairs... Why did she say that?"

At the entrance, Kurosawa Mitsuru put down his schoolbag, took out his mobile phone again and looked at the message, feeling confused.

Could it be that she guessed that I had another woman and didn't care?

It's unrealistic to think like this. She is so jealous, how could she accept it so easily?

What's more, the day of the Kyudo Tournament has not yet arrived and the truth has not yet been revealed.
