Sawada Tsunayoshi walked behind Aihara Kiyoshi, keeping a close distance from his teacher very carefully.

I dare not walk side by side, I always feel that this is an offense.But at the same time, he didn't want to be too far away from the teacher - this was the first time he was walking home with his teacher.

As if in a dream, the other party actually accepted his sudden invitation. Originally, he had no hope at all.

The brown round eyes carefully watched the other person's back, and then moved away in the next second.He was afraid that the other party would find out, but he couldn't help but take a peek.Being with a respected teacher is completely different from being with friends.

He heard classmates and teachers say that their English teacher was very young, only 21 years old this year-only seven years older than him.

Why, such a young person can attract the attention of all of them in this way, blooming a light that he could not even imagine before?It is too arrogant to want to become like this person in seven years.He felt a little ashamed of the secret thoughts in his heart.

But... what made his teacher the way he is now?At such a young age, should you still be enjoying college time?Apart from recognizing the charm and ability of the person in front of them, these students don't know anything about the teacher.

Even though the young man was walking in front, it was very close to him.However, Sawada Tsunayoshi has an illusion that these few steps will never be crossed—there is something between them that he can't explain clearly yet.

A little reconciled... His teacher saw through his essence at a glance, but he knew nothing about the other party's past, experience, and even his true character.But the unequal information made him helpless. As an ordinary student, he has no right to ask his teacher to reveal all the past.

Stopping suddenly, Sawada Tsunayoshi found himself becoming more and more greedy.

"What's wrong, Sawada-san."

"No...it's fine!"

The boy shook his head violently a few times, trying to shake off these messy thoughts that shouldn't exist.

Sawada House

On the table

"Ms. Aihara, please live alone. Kozuna just told me that you are our neighbor. In this case, come to our house for dinner every night to express my gratitude as a mother." Sawada Nana warmly invited with.

Mom's words made the boy who was sitting by the side stiff and absorbed in hard work prick up his ears.The secret expectation broke out of the shell and sprouted.

"Don't say that, I just did what a teacher should do, and there is nothing to be thankful for." Aihara Qing smiled and refused, "The leaving time of the teaching staff is different from that of the students, and I basically go to school at night. It is eaten near the gym, and dinner is eaten after exercise."

The teacher's refusal made the boy heave a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt lost, even the few strands of brown hair on his forehead drooped down.

"So that's how it is..." Nana Sawada didn't insist, "I didn't expect Mrs. Aihara to go to gymnasiums, which is rare among young people."

"It's just a personal habit."

The newly obtained information also surprised Sawada Tsunayoshi - it is completely impossible to see that his gentle teacher also belongs to the martial arts school.Sure enough, the decision to work out hard was the right one.

After dinner, Kiyoshi Aihara planned to leave Sawada house without stopping any longer.The one who sold the door together with him was Sawada Tsunayoshi who was told by Sawada Nana to "send the teacher home".

The night air was still cold in early spring, and the two were wearing thick coats and scarves around their necks.

After getting along during dinner time, the atmosphere between the two seemed to become more natural. Of course, the teenager felt uncomfortable unilaterally before.

This kind of scene made Sawada Tsunayoshi think of a year ago, when he was walking on the way to the new neighbor's house like this, wearing a thick coat and a thick scarf.Holding handmade food, he stood in front of the strange door and rang the doorbell.

Then, the door opens to someone he never expected—his new homeroom teacher, Kiyoshi Aihara.

That day, he stumbled and walked on the flat ground, avoiding that precious tenderness.

A year passed in a blink of an eye.This year seems to be very short, but it seems very long.Today he was on his way to that man's house again on the first day of spring term.

It's just that he is no longer anxious, no longer escaping, and there is one more companion by his side-his teacher, the person he respects the most.

"Sawada-san." The familiar voice brought back the boy's sanity.

"...Yes! Aihara-sensei!" The boy's cheeks were flushed, which was clearly visible under the deserted moonlight, as if he was annoyed by his rude behavior just now.

'Ahhhhhhhhh why are you distracted ahhhh! ! ! ! ! ! 'Why is he still distracted when walking with the teacher! ! !

His teacher stopped and turned to face him, "I can't do anything—do you still think so?"

Under the bright cold light, this man's black eyes looked extremely warm and tolerant.It is this kind of gaze that supports the boy to move forward until now.

"Hey!" Immediately understanding what the teacher wanted to express, the boy hastily raised his hands and shook his head wildly, "It's all... all thanks to the teacher!"

"I...I can't do anything myself..."

Otherwise, why was he a good-for-nothing before meeting the teacher?Even now he still considers himself a good-for-nothing, but people no longer call him that.

"That's not the case..." The young teacher shook his head lightly, gently but firmly denying the young man's cognition, "All the achievements now - all are your own credit."

"Don't underestimate yourself, Sawada-san."

"But...but..." For the first time, the young man who was not good at rejecting others and could be said to be obedient in front of the teacher felt entangled.

If there is no teacher, he will not change anything, right?It will still be the old trash gang.

"My class may be wonderful, but you can only learn if you are willing to listen."

"My notes may be easy to understand, but if you don't open them, the contents will never enter your head."

"Exercising was very painful at the beginning, but you still persevered." Smiling, Aihara Kiyoshi took a step forward, and the distance between the two was drawn closer.

He put his hand on the boy's head and rubbed it with some strength, "It's all done through my own efforts, Sawada-san."

"Even if you're working hard for me, you're the one who did all these things. So..." The young teacher withdrew his hand and put it in the pocket of the windbreaker.The pure black eyes and those round eyes looked at each other, "Why don't you work hard for yourself, obviously you can do it, can't you?"

Confidence and self-esteem are built by reality. The progress is in front of you again and again. The teenagers in front of you are used to escaping, but they can't escape the fact that they have experienced it that can never be erased - they have become better through their own efforts. own fact.

A gust of wind blew, and the petals of cherry blossoms on both sides of the street fluttered down from the trees and fell to the ground.The teacher's voice also fell into the air with the fragrance of spring, passed into his ears, and fell into the soft heart.

"Ms. Aihara..." Something broke out of the body and took root at the source of the blood.The boy opened his mouth, but apart from calling out the other party's name, he couldn't say any 'rebuttal' words.

"I'm just a passer-by in your life. Your life...is in your own hands." Turning around, Aihara Kiyoshi continued to walk forward, "I will leave sooner or later and walk towards my own path. "

"Don't rely on me too much, kid, see you tomorrow." In front of him is the house he rented.

Seeing the back of the young man gradually going away, Sawada Tsunayoshi no longer cared about the touch in his heart, and unconsciously stretched out his hand as if trying to hold something back.

The fingers curled up weakly, and finally only grabbed a piece of air.

This was the first time he felt indifference from his teacher, or something more complicated.But because of this, the portrait of this person in my mind finally became more three-dimensional.Even if this new understanding brought him unpleasant...even painful emotions.

"It's really embarrassing...Gang." A very immature voice sounded in the boy's ear.

Before he had time to experience the complex feelings that surged in his heart, Tsunayoshi Sawada was startled by the voice, "...Who?!"

"Ciao~"

Looking towards the source of the sound, Tsunayoshi Sawada saw a little baby in a black suit standing on the fence.

......

Walking into the entrance, the voice of the main system rang in Aihara Qing's mind.

'You obviously like that child very much, why are you suddenly so...indifferent? '

'Because I positioned myself at the beginning as just a passer-by in that child's life. '

For the growth of the teenager, he can become the pillar of the heart for a short time.But this dependence cannot last forever - when Tsunayoshi Sawada finally recognized his ability, his pillar was no longer needed.

People always have to rely on themselves to advance, and they will never grow if they pin their hopes on others.Although indifferent, this is the last step that the teenager must go through.

'Since you can't stay by his side, you don't need to give him extra hope. 'Even the more we get along, the more he thinks that boy is cute, and that kind of quality is precious.

But there is another child waiting for him to come home, and he will not break his promise.

The life of Sawada boy has just begun, and he will always meet more warm and beautiful bonds.His weight in the young man's heart cannot be further aggravated.

And Bai cared about it—he was the only one.

Harbor/Black Building

"Riboun... why did that guy suddenly come to Japan?"

Osamu Dazai listened to his subordinate's report and thought about it—Nesheng Middle School, the school where Kiyoshi Aihara taught in this world.Tokyo is very close to Yokohama.

Thinking of this, the young leader smiled and said in a low voice: "Sure enough, no matter which world it is... there is no peace around you, Mr. Aihara."

"Do you need me to investigate, Boss?"

"No need." If there is any complicated purpose, the killer will come to the door by himself.

In this reverse world, the power of the port mafia has expanded to cover the whole of Japan, making all foreign supernatural organizations and mafia families fearful.

If Hong Kong/Black take the initiative to intervene, then foreign forces will not be able to carry out any activities in Japan - even that Vongola.
