It was a thin shower curtain that had been cut off.
Dou Tang gasped for breath, her face also turning red.
That thing... isn't it the shower curtain that the two of them kissed before?
She actually cut it off and brought it back?
What is this, showing off trophies?
Before he could react, Huaiyin draped the light shower curtain over Dou Tang's head, covering his face.
Dou Tang stammered, "How is this supposed to be, like covering a dead person's face with a white cloth... um!"
The girl, bathed in moonlight and surrounded by shimmering neon lights, lowered her head...
He lowered his head.
This time, it was even more intense than before.
From then on, the night passed without a word, filled only with an abrupt end to forced restraint and two chaotic hearts.
………………
the next day.
Before Sunday's headless dog gathering, Tou-tang first had to deal with a home visit from Ms. Tominaga Kyoko on Saturday.
On Saturday morning, Ms. Tominaga Kyoko appeared at Doutang's door as promised. Doutang opened the door and welcomed Ms. Tominaga Kyoko in.
But he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Ms. Kyoko, who was full of energy before, looks unusually haggard today.
Her eyes were sunken, and even makeup couldn't hide the dark circles under them, along with the weariness and exhaustion that emanated from her.
And... a faint hint of resentment.
She was possessed by evil spirits.
"Oh my... So your sister is here too. Hello, sister-san. I'm Kiryu's homeroom teacher~" She floated into the house and said to Kaine.
Huaiyin nodded somewhat timidly and greeted, "Hello, Teacher Xingzi, welcome to...home visit."
Dou Tang returned from the entryway and said in the kitchen, "Teacher Xingzi, what would you like to drink? Would you like some oolong tea?"
Ms. Kyoko nodded.
"Please sit at the low table for a moment, it will be ready soon."
A moment later, Dou Tang brought three cups of oolong tea, sat down at the low table, and distributed the drinks.
"Kiryu-kun is so polite." Ms. Kyoko smiled wearily, took a sip of oolong tea, and said, "Actually, I came here today to see if Kiryu-kun needs any help. After all, finals are coming up soon. If Kiryu-kun has any difficulties with his studies, I can help you solve them!"
Dou Tang shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, teacher, but my studies are not a problem."
He took out his workbook from the pile of books and handed it to Ms. Kyoko, saying, "Even though I'm very busy, I haven't fallen behind in my studies. You can verify it for yourself."
Ms. Kyoko's eyes lit up. She took the booklet and began to look through it. The more she looked, the more surprised she became. She quickly picked up other exercise books from the pile of books next to her, looked them over, and then looked up in shock: "Kiryu-kun, you wrote all of this yourself?!"
Dou Tang nodded: "Yes, for a large part. I asked Chang Yibuki-kun about some things I didn't understand yesterday, and I understand them now."
Ms. Kyoko let out a long sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said, "That's really... fantastic! I can finally put my mind at ease."
She blinked hard, seemingly a little sleepy. At the same time, Dou Tang noticed that her aura was much weaker than before.
One's teacher is not only possessed by evil spirits, but also having his vitality drained by them.
This is something I have to intervene in and control...
Ms. Kyoko rubbed her eyes, yawned, and then smiled rather apologetically, "I'm so sorry, Kiryu-kun, I've been so busy lately... I'm a little tired."
"It's alright, teacher, you've worked hard." Dou Tang stood up and walked towards the white door. "Teacher, please wait a moment."
Ms. Kyoko looked at Toudou as he pushed open the door and went inside, then looked at Huaiyin beside him and asked, "Little sister, what's Kiryu-kun doing?"
Huaiyin chuckled, "I don't know, but he definitely wants to help the teacher. Just sit back and wait!"
“Help…me?” Ms. Kyoko asked, somewhat puzzled.
Dou Tang walked into the room, looked around, closed the door behind him, and said, "Now I need to choose someone to protect my teacher."
The room suddenly became agitated, and the ownerless supernatural objects seemed extremely excited, as if... a stray cat and dog adoption center, striving for and showing themselves off to the sudden hope.
“I want someone kind enough. I know you are all kind enough, as evidenced by the fact that I put you here instead of destroying you. But I want someone strong.”
"At least it should be able to repel evil spirits. Don't worry, they're just minor evil spirits, the kind that drain people's vitality."
Some of the less powerful supernatural objects stopped shaking, but many more things eagerly attracted Dou Tang's attention.
After looking around, Dou Tang finally chose a sachet on the bookshelf next to him. It was a sachet with a strong shrine style. Although the fragrance was very faint, its red and gold appearance was quite pleasing.
He picked up the sachet and said, "I remember... you were abandoned in a shrine, right? You were a lucky guy who was inexplicably worshipped by passersby in an abandoned shrine for more than ten years, and that's how you developed some spirituality."
The sachet trembled, as if agreeing with Dou Tang's words.
Dou Tang gripped the sachet tightly with satisfaction and said, "Then it's you. Protect my teacher well, and this will also be a way of finding you a good master. That's settled then."
After making his selection, Dou Tang returned to the living room with the sachet in his hand, closed the white door tightly again, sat down at the low table, and handed the sachet to Teacher Xingzi.
"Kiryu-kun, what is this...?" Kyoko-sensei leaned closer to smell it, and felt that the faint fragrance had a calming effect, making her feel even more drowsy.
“This is a gift for you, teacher.” Dou Tang smiled gently. “Thank you for caring about me, a poor student who likes to skip classes, all this time. This sachet has a calming effect. I noticed that you have such dark circles under your eyes, so carrying this with you will be good for your mental well-being.”
Ms. Kyoko hesitated for a moment before finally accepting the sachet. With a weary smile, she said, "Ah... it's really embarrassing that my students noticed how tired I am. But perhaps I really do need something like this lately."
"Thank you, Kiryu-kun."
She reached out and suddenly touched Dou Tang's head.
"The teacher was right about you. You are actually a very kind and wonderful person at heart, not the delinquent leader that people say you are."
Family member hospitalization does not count as taking leave; updates reduced.
Because I need to stay with a family member in the hospital, my updates may be less frequent these next few days. Sorry everyone.
But it won't be for very long. I'll be back around the 7th at most, and then I'll update more chapters. Thank you all for your support.
In 2022, I hope my life will get better and better, and I also hope that everyone reading this book will get better and better.
thank you all.
Chapter 169 My student is a master!
Someone touched my head?
Dou Tang was at a loss for what to do.
To be honest, I haven't had much contact with Ms. Kyoko all along.
Perhaps it's the unique sense of distance in Japan that makes intimate gestures rare in ordinary interpersonal relationships. The partners that Dou Tang has met so far are all people he has gradually become familiar with after truly experiencing life and death together.
But Ms. Xingzi is undoubtedly an ordinary person, and Dou Tang cannot understand what emotions drove her to do such a thing at this moment.
However, I truly felt a sense of warmth in my heart.
Dou Tang smiled, somewhat helplessly, and said, "Teacher Xingzi, isn't this obvious?"
"Delinquents and such have absolutely nothing to do with a hardworking and thrifty young man like me!"
Ms. Kyoko seemed surprised that Toudou would say something so witty, and she chuckled, covering her mouth as she said, "Oh my, Kiryu-kun, I didn't expect you to be so approachable at home. It's quite a contrast to your usual self."
Just as Dou Tang was about to answer, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Ms. Kyoko, please wait a moment."
Dou Tang walked quickly to the door, opened it, but suddenly froze.
Outside the door stood a burly man in a suit, wearing dark sunglasses, with a fierce look on his face, covered in scars, and a glittering gold necklace visible beneath his shirt with one button undone.
Isn't that... isn't that Xingyiren?!
What is he doing here?!
Hoshigi raised his hand, waving the silver briefcase in his hand, his smile sinister: "Kiryu-kun, I was running errands nearby and stopped by to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Ms. Kyoko looked towards the door.
Dou Tang thought to himself, "I'm doomed. If Teacher Xingzi sees this blatantly yakuza-like Xingyi, then what will happen to me...?"
If there's mud stuck in your crotch, you can't even explain it if there's no poop in it!
But before he could close the door, Xingyiren had already squeezed into the room.
As soon as they stepped through the entrance hall, Hoshino Yoshito made eye contact with Ms. Kyoko.
Seeing that the person had already entered the house, Dou Tang, being the kind of person he was, naturally couldn't possibly turn them away, and let out a soft sigh.
Forget it, I don't care anymore... Let's just go ahead, anyway, it's a fact that I know people from the Yakuza.
When Ms. Kyoko saw Hoshino in the living room, she was clearly stunned. There was no way around it; the appearance of this guy perfectly fulfilled all the ordinary people's imagination of the Yakuza: his burly figure, fierce appearance, and the imposing and menacing aura he exuded.
It's the kind of thing that just one glance from someone will make you think, "This guy is definitely a yakuza."
Xingyi looked at Teacher Xingzi with a puzzled expression, then turned to look at Doutang, his expression somewhat awkward.
Dou Tang pouted helplessly and said, "This is my homeroom teacher, Ms. Xingzi."
Xingyiren had heard Doutang mention that he was still in school, so he immediately understood the situation and became visibly reserved, clearly realizing that he had come at a very inopportune time.
Dou Tang looked at Teacher Xingzi and introduced, "Teacher, this is my friend... Xing Yiren, uh, actually he's a very nice person, don't be too nervous."
"Ah, haha... Teacher, why would a teacher be nervous?" Teacher Kyoko tightly clutched the sachet that had just been given to her, forcing a smile.
Hoshino quickly greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Kyoko. Uh, well, I'm really not a bad person, please believe me."
Dou Tang then gestured for Xing Yiren to sit down, saying, "Since you're here, please sit down. Don't just stand there like an idiot."
Xing Yiren smiled, greeted Huaiyin, and sat down on the sofa. Dou Tang poured him a glass of water.
Seeing that Hoshino Yoshito smiled and his attitude was quite friendly, Ms. Kyoko relaxed a little.
Phew... Although he looks fierce, he seems to be quite polite... His attitude towards Kiryu-kun is also quite good. Could it really be just a friendship?
At least he doesn't look like a bad person...
But something else happened after Hoshino sat down that made Ms. Kyoko even more worried.
He picked up the silver-white briefcase that looked suspicious and placed it on the table.
Then he said seriously, "Kiryu-kun, this is your payment. Please count it."
“Although you said you didn’t want it before, we really owe a lot to you for what happened in Urayasu City. The relationship between our team and Urayasu City has become much closer because of it, so I have to give you this reward.”
"The total is... seven million."
Ms. Kyoko's mind went blank for a moment, as if struck by a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Seven, seven million yen...?
!
And, and things about the group... those are things only yakuza would say!
Urayasu City, isn't that the city that was previously said to have riots, attacks, and yakuza murderers?
There's been so much news about Urayasu City in the last month... Putting aside the rumors about monsters, there are official reports of riots, attacks, and even yakuza murderers...
It just so happens that Kiryu-kun also disappeared for the past month... Could it be...?!
Xingyi opened the clasp of the briefcase, revealing neatly stacked bundles of banknotes inside.
Ms. Kyoko gasped.
Seven million...it's true!
What on earth are my students doing outside?!
Dou Tang glanced at Xing Yiren, who was grinning mischievously, shook his head slightly with a hint of reproach, and then looked at Teacher Xingzi beside him, saying, "Teacher...please don't think so much."
"It's just a job."
Huaiyin, who was standing to the side, hugged her legs and giggled, her shoulders shrugging as if she was struggling to hold back her laughter.
She had long accepted the fact that their life together was destined to be extraordinary, so she didn't think that the current development would bother Dou Tang. In fact, she thought it might be better if Dou Tang didn't go to school and stayed home with her every day.
The girl, who was obsessed with her brother and addicted to the internet, gave up on herself.
Ms. Kyoko stared into Toudou's eyes, pursed her lips, and remained silent for a moment before suddenly raising her phone and saying, "Kiryu-kun."
