166 – You Hate Me – 2
The interior of the counseling room was not a very large space, but the space could be separated by curtains.
Me and Seo-ah were sitting in a space with a desk, a small sink, and a cupboard, holding our breath.
Consultation time is approximately 30 minutes to an hour.
It was her pity, but she overheard the story of a student in the cubicle next to her who had come to her for advice.
“That’s right. So how did it feel?”
“It was the worst. Actually, I didn’t want to do that… “I said something harsh to that kid without even realizing it.”
The female student was confiding in her that she regretted her big fight with her best friend.
“They don’t even make eye contact now. I want to do something… If this goes on, I don’t think I’ll ever see you again after graduation….”
“Then you can apologize first and say let’s make up?”
“You will definitely be rejected! No matter what I say, the ugly hairs are already firmly planted….”
While the female student was sobbing and muttering something unintelligible, Seo Ah, sitting on the bed in the corner of her, moved her legs with a bored expression.
“Which are you more afraid of, being rejected or not being able to see that friend forever?”
“Ah….”
Yanase listened to her female student’s concerns with her calm and kind tone.
At first glance, it seemed like he gave an answer that anyone could give, but it was a question whose persuasiveness varied depending on ‘who’ was doing it.
Yanase listens to the concerns of many students every day. And her counseling had quite good reviews.
To the point that it is no match for Yanase, who has shown such behavior in front of me.
As a counselor, she was professional.
“Even if I get rejected, I hope Miya-chan approaches me first. “If I break up without even apologizing, I’ll regret it forever, right?”
“That’s right…. “I think that’s true too.”
“Yes. “The teacher will cheer you on.”
She yawned and lay down on the bed.
After the female student left the counseling room, the next student came in.
The schedule was pushed back due to a significant delay in confronting us.
“I’m sorry for keeping you waiting. “Would you like to sit here?”
“Oh, yes.”
However, I only heard about it, but this is my first time hearing her consultation in person.
In the first place, secretly listening is something you shouldn’t do. I couldn’t help but think that this was also a clue to getting to know her.
Kotomi Yanase at work.
Kotomi Yanase as a counselor.
She was an example of a mature and kind female teacher with no flaws for her students.
Now, he was listening to male students’ love concerns and giving them reasonable advice.
Seo-ah took out her cell phone and touched it, even though she wasn’t even listening anymore.
“Teacher! Thank you! “Thanks to you, I gained courage!”
“No. “I hope she gets along well with him.”
“Yes! “Then I’ll just leave!”
After that, two students visited the counseling room.
It was late evening when Yanase finished her consultation schedule for today.
“…… “It’s over now.”
With those words, she finally pulled back her curtains.
“Are you satisfied?”
Yanase said with a languid look in her eyes as she stretched.
“Yes, thank you. Teacher.”
I wanted to see Yanase counseling with her other students.
Of course, this is a one-on-one relationship with the client. It was unacceptable because it was a secret matter.
“So, are you just leaving work now?”
“Huh? No. “There’s still work left to do.”
With that said, Yanase received water from the pot.
Maybe I’m drinking too much coffee or tea.
She had heard that her teacher had a lot of work to do, but it seemed like she was especially overburdened by Yanase.
Should we say that she is the fate of a popular teacher?
“You’re always late coming home from work.”
Yanase sat in front of her desk, sipping coffee.
It was a problem she had known before, but she was always working late.
“Yes. Yes.”
She said as she turned on the computer as if nothing had happened.
“Wouldn’t it be a lot less work if we received less consultation?”
I tried to say the obvious.
“You can’t do that.”
She wasn’t even looking this way.
“Why?”
“Because this is my job.”
That’s right. She had nothing more to say in response.
Even though she wants to die, she shows this level of responsibility for what she does.
She was an incomprehensible woman.
By kindly listening to other people’s concerns and talking to them.
She actually has no solution for her own problems.
“Are you done now?”
She asked, tapping away at her keyboard.
“I want you to come back quickly once you’ve finished your business.”
Yanase, who had a cold tone, was just looking at her monitor with a grave expression, as if she had decided not to take off her mask in front of me.
“I understand. “Then I’ll just head back.”
“Yes.”
I gave Seo-ah a glance.
Seoah got up with a sigh and stood next to me.
“Like the teacher.”
At that moment, Yanase turned her head, saw us right behind us, and stood up in surprise.
Without hesitation, Seo-ah stretched out her hand and grabbed one of her shoulders.
Looking at her like that, I also grabbed her other shoulder and pulled her towards me.
“W-what are you doing?!”
“Let’s go to the teacher’s house.”
“Don’t do anything nonsense. “You b*tch.”
Yanase opened her eyes wide and was surprised for a moment by Seo-ah’s harsh words, but soon began to resist.
“Hey, let go of this! I have work left… !”
“What is more important than work is your own life.”
On the first day of her school trip, she noticed something when she happened to enter Yanase’s room.
She is coming on a trip of 3 days and 2 nights, but she did not bring any luggage.
I decided based on that point. She says she needs to check Yanase’s house one more time.
“Ah! “Let go of this!”
Yanase’s gentle waving of her arms and shouting was short-lived, and when she tried to open the door to her consulting room and leave, Yanase’s resistance became even stronger.
“Ahh! Let go! I’ll be here! “I’m not going home!”
She squeezed the struggling Yanase and shouted with a grim expression on her face.
“Be loud, b*tch!”
“I am not a b*tch!!”
If the commotion continues any further, you will be caught by a passing faculty member or security guard. Just when I was having a hard time due to Yanase’s unexpected and fierce resistance.
“Quiet.”
At that moment, Elena, who she had asked for, appeared and extended her hand towards the back of her neck.
Yanase fell down as if her thread had been cut by that single blow.
Elena spoke with an expressionless expression while supporting her as she fell.
“Then let’s go.”
“…… “She’s a scary woman.”
Seoa muttered, finally realizing her true identity.
So we took Yanase and got into her car, taking a route that wouldn’t be seen by anyone else.
“You know. “Do we really have to do this?”
Although she was aware that she had used quite strong measures, she looked around from her passenger seat and asked as if she was still anxious.
“What… It will be fine. “Because she didn’t get caught by anyone.”
Perhaps.
I saw Yanase lying down right next to me.
Whether he had passed out or was sleeping, his expression looked very relaxed.
“Don’t worry. “Because I just pierced the blood.”
“What blood?”
“It is a blood pressure that bursts out the fatigue that was holding her back and puts her to sleep right away.”
Where is that?
She had her doubts, but she decided not to pry.
I was in the process of forcibly taking Yanase home when she resisted, but I thought it was a necessary process.
Kotomi Yanase was overworked.
Although it has only been a month since she took office, she clearly has a lot of work and is always busy as anyone can see.
Her mental fatigue is connected to physical fatigue.
If she is suffering from a mental illness that I cannot understand, I just need to make an effort to treat it.
I am not a doctor.
You can take her to her doctor and give her help.
In the end, those were the methods I came up with.
Whether it will work out, and unlike other heroines, there is no clear way to deal with it, will this approach work for Yanase?
I wasn’t sure though.
“We have arrived.”
Elena and Seo-ah decided to cooperate with me.
For now, that alone is reassuring. On my own, I would still continue to have doubts.
“Now wake her up.”
“Oh, yes.”
As I watched, I saw that Yanase was breathing peacefully and sleeping.
Even if I called her shoulder or called her name, she kept her eyes closed.
Oh my. How do I wake up a sleeping woman?
If the opponent was Yuuki, I would have shouted into his ear. I don’t know what to do with an adult woman in a delicate relationship.
“You fool.”
Seo-ah scolded me like she always did and stretched out her hand.
“Hey!”
And then, without hesitation, he struck her forehead. So strong that it can’t even be compared to me.
Yanase opened her eyes with tears prickling at the corners of her eyes.
“It hurts!”
“Don’t pretend to sleep. “You damn b*tch.”
“Yuuki, you….”
Yanase bit her lip as she glared at Seo-ah, who was now freely using violence and verbal abuse even against her teacher.
“It’s different from how it was at school. “Do the students in your class know that you are this kind of person?”
“I’ll give it back to you, literally.”
Elena came out without paying attention to Seo-ah and Yanase who were growling.
“Now, teacher. “Please come out.”
“No!”
When I opened the car door, Yanase was scared and took a step back.
“Ji, you can’t go in now!”
Yanase made a fuss here too, pulling me by her arm.
If I had pulled her by force alone, she would have been reported to the police. Elena covered her mouth by suppressing her entire body, and Seo-ah was able to enter easily by pressing her password.
“Smell! “What is this stench!”
As soon as she opened the door, the familiar smell that wafted in made her blush and cover her nose.
Meanwhile, after witnessing the scene inside the house, I froze again just like that time.
“…… Teacher.”
“Don’t say it! “Because I know!”
Yanase had already collapsed to the floor and covered her face with her hands.
“As expected, it’s as expected.”
Speaking calmly, Elena went inside.
To the house that has become a garbage dump again.
Elena and I worked hard to clean the house and make it a habitable house without any reward. I sighed as I looked at the scenery that had been restored to its original state in just one month.
I looked behind her and saw that she was still covering her face and shaking her shoulders.
“…… Teacher.”
He crouched down in front of her, placed his hand on her shoulder, and called out to her.
“…… Huh?”
I spoke to Yanase, who slightly raised her head with a tearful expression.
“Don’t pretend to cry.”
After cutting her like that, Yanase turned her gaze and pursed her lips.
I already knew she was like this. There is no room for sympathy for her.
“Wake up quickly. “Because there are more than one thing to do.”
As I turned and tried to follow Elena in, I heard a very small shout from behind me.
“Why on earth are you doing this to me?”

“Yes?”
“You said you hated me. But why are you meddling in everything like this?”
I saw Yanase with his head down.
“I told you if you’re going to die, die alone.”
“……… “
“I told you it was trash.”
Did I even say that?
No, no matter how much I think about it, I never criticized it for being trash.
Yes, this house is full of trash.
“I spoke too harshly at that time.”
“What?”
“I’ll change just one thing.”
I said while scratching the back of my neck.
“Please don’t die.”
She was looking at me blankly.
“It’s true that I don’t like the teacher, but I never thought it was okay to die.”
Draw a line.
I am finally expressing clearly what I want from her, and I hope that this feeling reaches her.
“So please move.”
After leaving that one word, I started walking. Because I didn’t like the awkward atmosphere.
