154 – Advice
Those were days of misfortune that made it hard to believe that these events happened one after another to one boy.
To be precise, it was they, not him, who experienced the incident.
He just watched it from the sidelines.
That made Yuuki suffer even more.
Because I was the only one left in this academy.
Because I no longer had friends to have lunch with.
“I am trash.”
I neither confirmed nor denied such self-denial.
“I am a coward and a loser with no courage and no will to help others.”
Yuuki had already cried enough, so he didn’t shed any more tears.
However, he did not stop denying himself.
“I would rather die for Haru-chan, Eri-chan, and Akira.”
But when I heard those words, I grabbed his hand.
“Yuuki-kun. “I cannot agree with that.”
“Yes?”
“I can’t let you die.”
That was my sincerity.
Did his misfortune captivate me, or did I feel strong sympathy for him?
No, probably both.
“Teacher….”
I hugged him.
Don’t let anyone say they want to die anymore.
“Yuki-kun… “No, can I call you Yuu?”
He was held in my arms without saying a word.
“You are my precious student. So please don’t say something like that again.”
I hugged him with more strength.
Still, I looked down at him who had no reaction.
I felt like I was being pulled further and further into his darkness, but I couldn’t let go of this arm.

I put down the box feeling as if I was helping move into a new house. Inside were all kinds of miscellaneous items lying around the house.
Because it was someone else’s house, I couldn’t just throw things into a trash bag even though they were things that could be thrown away, so I put all the ambiguous things in there.
Elena also put down the cleaning stick and rubbed her forehead.
“…… Phew. “I guess this is enough to sort things out.”
“I see. “Now it feels like a place where people live.”
The question that comes to mind now is, why did I clean up Yanase’s house like this?
Isn’t this something that requires charging a cleaning fee?
“Thank you for your hard work. Boy.”
“No. “It is Elena.”
As she lowered her head, I bowed her waist to ninety degrees.
Elena accepted my request and willingly helped me.
“I’ve been thinking about it, but I don’t know how to repay you…” .”
There’s something strange about me buying food for Elena.
Because I didn’t even know what she liked.
As I had no information about her other than the fact that she was an all-rounder of the Shiraishi family, I had no choice but to ask her directly.
“Boy. “You don’t have to worry about that.”
“If we just leave it like this, I will feel uncomfortable.”
This is not an ordinary errand or light request. Because I was involved in this kind of clean-up.
I wanted to give her money, but I felt like that would be rude to her.
“If that’s the case….”
She thought for a moment while holding her chin, then looked at me.
“It’s been a long time since the boy set foot in the Shiraishi family.”
“Ah….”
“Please visit us with a comfortable mind during the holidays. “The lady will be happy.”
If that’s the case.
“Of course me too.”
Elena said with a faint smile.

If you say that, there is nothing you can do about it.
“Yes. “I’ll go.”
If only I could return the favor with something like that.
Elena bowed her head and turned her body.
“Okay then.”
“Oh, yes.”
Elena, who was about to go back, soon stopped.
“Now that I think about it, I forgot to tell you.”
Elena looked back at me and made a gesture with her hand.
What is it?
Follow her out of her house.
Elena said as she stood in front of her parked car and looked up at her house.
“I don’t know how the boy became entangled with the teacher….”
She looked at me calmly.
“It’s better not to be close to her anymore.”
“Yes?”
That was completely unexpected.
After hearing her unexpected warning, I looked at her with a puzzled look in her eyes.
“The condition of the house is evidence of the owner’s inner self.”
That’s… It was a claim that had nothing to say.
If you think about it that way, Yanase’s inner self was literally a garbage dump.
“The boy and I spent several days cleaning, but it was obvious that it would soon return to its original state.”
“Well, still…” .”.
I could not easily understand the unexpectedly harsh argument.
“It could just be that the teacher is a person who is not good at organizing things. “Actually, she’s a bit lazy and she’s not good at taking care of herself.”
“It is as you said.”
Elena said, nodding her head.
“She is that kind of person.”
“So what I’m saying is…” .”
“However, it is more serious than others.”
Elena put her hand in her pocket, took out something, and showed her open palm.
“This…” .”
“It’s a medicine bag.”
Contains several large pills of unknown efficacy.
I don’t know what kind of disease it is, but if you have to take this much medicine, the symptoms must be quite severe.
“These are all medications that can be prescribed by a psychiatrist.”
A medicine bag placed in Elena’s palm.
“When I was cleaning her house, I found many packets of this type of medicine.”
With a swish, Elena threw the medicine bag into the trash can near her.
“In addition, we discovered several items that showed evidence that she was not in the condition of a normal person… “They were dangerous, so I took care of them all.”
What on earth is this?
I was afraid to even ask.
“I wonder how a woman like that could become a teacher… “I guess that’s not something I should worry about.”
As we got into the car, Elena spoke to me again as if she was asking me to please.
“So boy, I hope you get away from her quickly before you get caught up in her dangerous work.”
“Ah….”
Before I could say anything, Elena’s car took off.
I was left alone and scratched the back of my neck.
So, did Elena express this to me out of annoyance?
Don’t get involved with strange people.
Her advice was appreciated, but she didn’t feel it yet.
No one would have expected Yanase to come from such a family, and she only showed her perfect side at the academy.
This is truly a model of a bright and kind female teacher who is bound to be popular with students.
The garbage dump I saw two days ago can be said to be a gap in contrast to this image.
Some people would be shocked to see that gap, but there seemed to be people who would still like her, saying that her unexpected sloppy appearance was cute.
So, let’s say she doesn’t feel the need to be this serious.
“Umm….”
Am I too complacent?
I turned around and entered Yanase’s house.
It was a clean scenery that could not be compared to before, but when she looked back after hearing Elena’s warning, she felt an inexplicable strong feeling.
Moreover, it is a dangerous item.
I missed the timing so I couldn’t ask, but what were those things that Elena said?
Curiosity led my steps.
It shouldn’t be like this, but after entering her room, I slowly looked around.
An ordinary bed and desk. Her major books are organized and shelved.
On the outside, there is nothing particularly dangerous.
Of course, Elena and I put a lot of effort into cleaning it.
But I didn’t see anything particularly dangerous.
While I was wandering around Yanase’s room, I heard the sound of the door lock opening.
“Huh? “There’s Minsu.”
Yanase’s voice was heard after taking sick leave and visiting the hospital in the morning.
I pushed her hard and ended up sending her to the hospital, and I cleaned up after her after leaving school early.
“Oh my… “Has the maid gone?”
“Yes. Just before.”
“I wanted to say thank you… “It’s a shame.”
Yanase opened her mouth as she looked around her house.
“Wow… “It feels like a new house.”
“It’s all Elena’s work.”
I just helped her.
“Thank you, Minsu.”
Yanase smiled as she put down her medicine bag.
“No. “Then I’ll just leave, so you can rest today.”
“Yes.”
If you’re talking like this, you don’t seem like a strange person at all.
Yes, sometimes he got confused and tried to attack me.
A woman who pretended to be innocent and innocent on the outside was actually a prostitute… Wouldn’t it be okay to just accept it as that?
Go out to the front door and put on your shoes.
Yanase followed and stood in front.
“Hey, Minsu.”
“Yes?”
Yanase stretched out his arms and squeezed my hand.
“Thank you so much.”
She was startled for a moment, but there was no sign of such intention on her part.
“I was a little embarrassed at first, but… It was truly done with good intentions. “I was very surprised.”
Yanase looked at me with bright, shining eyes.
“I thought there was such a good kid. “I’m so moved.”
“I’m sick of it. “I never would have thought that Mr. Yanase lived in a pigsty like this.”
“hahahaha… “I’m embarrassed.”
I think the time to be embarrassed has already passed.
She blushed slightly and smiled.
“But to be honest, I’m also curious why you’re helping me this far.”
As expected, simple good intentions are not enough.
Actually, even if you are from the opposite perspective, I think you will feel grateful and at the same time feel a bit of a burden.
How should I explain this?
I thought for a moment and then said.
“I told you before.”
“Huh?”
“I admire you as a teacher.”
“Ah… ….”
I scratched my cheek.
“So I wanted to help such a teacher. “I want to be of some help.”
Yanase’s hands squeezed my hand even more tightly.
“Minsu… ….”
I tried to pull my hand away out of embarrassment, but it was held so tightly that I couldn’t escape.
“Okay, then I’ll just leave. “I have to go in before lunch time.”
“Yes.”
Yanase nodded her head, but did not let go of her hand.
“Teacher?”
“Ah! Sorry.”
Only then does my hand slip away.
When she opened the door and came out, Yanase followed her outside the building and waved her hand.
“Minsu~ Goodbye~.”
I don’t know how far she was going to follow me, but even after I left the house, Yanase kept waving her hand as she watched me moving away.
When I glanced around out of curiosity, I saw her still standing in the distance.
