Tribute to the Demon King

His eyes are warm and peaceful, as convincing and unquestionable as a benevolent superior.

"……is teacher."

Gongyue Liqi slightly let go of the railing on the roof, lowered her head and responded softly.

That is, Miss Rockslot Einsworth.

This semester's new teacher at Liyuan Girls' High School.The main scope of teaching is world history and religious history, and he acts as the head teacher of class A temporarily... I heard from class A that his lectures are very interesting and in place, and his voice is super nice and gentle when he speaks.So even though he has only been here for less than a week, he already has enthusiastic followers in Liyuan.

Just looking at his eyes, Gong Yue felt that the restlessness in her heart was relieved a lot.There seemed to be a calm and warm atmosphere around him... It was like the sun in spring.

...How should I put it, should I say that Liyuan is a girls' school after all?Although nothing will happen between the students because of the relationship between men and women, but girls of this age still have longing for men.

And it is said that Mr. Eindsworth was personally recommended by the principal... It is completely different from the one named Hayama in class D next door.

Liyuan Girls' School was supposed to be a sister school of a famous British school.Up to now, the main school in the UK has been closed, but the Liyuan, which was originally a branch school, still exists.

Originally, the headmaster wanted to replace all the teachers with British people. After all, the English pronunciation of the Japanese is basically not standard.But if you look for it seriously, you can't find a British teacher who can pass the Japanese test and has the qualification to teach in high school.

At this point, Mr. Eindsworth is said to be a young professor transferred from King's College, University of London. He is knowledgeable and has perfect English pronunciation, without the ugly American accent at all.This also made the nuns so happy that they even wanted him to preside over Sunday mass.

Seeing Teacher Einsworth watching her with warm eyes, Gong Yue couldn't help but clenched her hands nervously.

——It's not because of the girl's bosom, but because of nervousness.

"I heard about Yuko Ando."

With a steady voice, he replied softly, "I'm sorry to bring up her matter on your side."

... As expected.Sure enough, it was this matter.

Miyazuki Ritsu couldn't help clenching her fist in her pocket.She took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.

If someone else had said that to her, she would have screamed hysterically.

But maybe because the person in front of her was a teacher, or simply because of the attitude of Teacher Eindsworth, she couldn't speak ill of each other.

After a long time, she let out a weak breath: "I... don't want to hear about Yuko."

"So, do you want to commit suicide?"

Einsworth's voice gradually lost its temperature.The surrounding air seemed to be gradually condensing because of this, and the sound of freezing water could be faintly heard from all around.

"Teacher, you, how, know—"

Miyazuki Risu's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the teacher in disbelief.

But at this moment, the paper knife in her pocket accidentally fell out and fell to the ground.

"Oh, is it a paper knife? But it's not easy to die with this. If there is no bathtub or sink, the blood will seal the skin... That is the survival instinct of human beings."

His voice was still steady.But the earnestness in those words made Gong Yue tremble.

"No...I don't want to..."

Trembling, she clung to the fence behind her.

But Eindsworth still stretched out his hand slowly, and pressed it firmly on her forehead.

I am dead--

It was just such a simple action, but such a certain premonition arose in Gong Yue's heart.

Why...why did the teacher kill her?Obviously never even seen...

She couldn't help biting her lips in fear, tears streaming down her eyes.

It is true that she did want to commit suicide before.

"Come together! Leave this world behind and let the two of us become eternity together—it must be great?"

Since junior high school, she has often said such ridiculous things to her best friend Yuko Ando, ​​which would be ridiculed or even reprimanded by adults.After that, Yuko will definitely show a very troubled smile, and in turn dissuade her in a gentle voice.This is the daily life of two people.

"Hmph! Traitor, you are saying that you are alive in this filthy world, so die in this filthy world!"

At that time, Gongyue would say this to Youzi with a proud face.Then the two got into a fight.

... Such a ridiculous, but warm daily life was maintained until a certain day.

That night, when Gongyue woke up from the dormitory because of the cold wind, she saw Yuko floating outside the window like a ghost.

She was looking at herself with completely different charming eyes from the past, stretched out her hand to herself, and whispered softly——

"Hey, let's come together..."

"...Yuko?"

"Killing one's own future to allow eternal life to continue... Isn't that what you want? Come on, I'll be scared alone."

However, Gongyue, who was stared at by Yuko, rejected her with great perseverance.

——Then, Yuko Ando flew out of the dormitory like a butterfly under Miyazuki's horrified eyes.

The next day, the news that she disappeared from the dormitory and jumped off the Wutiao Building spread all over Liyuan.Gong Yue, who shared the dormitory with her, was questioned many times by the chairman and the police.

But it wasn't for that reason that she wanted to kill herself.

Until now, Gongyue also thinks that her inadvertent words killed Youzi.Completely ruined her future.
