Chapter 31: The Teacher’s Other Side

Description

“You will definitely regret this, Sensei.”

Tsukimi Ryuune looked at him with calm eyes, her entire expression rarely carrying a few traces of seriousness.

Kagami Yuto stared blankly at her face, and bitterness arose in his heart.

If one were to speak of regret, it had actually already been born from the moment he gave his answer.

This was his helplessness, yet at the same time, he had no choice.

Helping others was his true nature.

He had never thought of obtaining any return from this matter.

He had always required this of himself.

“It’s fine. As long as you can be well, Ryuune, your teacher is willing to pay any price for it.”

Upon hearing that, Tsukimi Ryuune was slightly stunned for a moment.

But soon a certain thought and emotion quickly occupied the upper hand in her heart, causing her expression to become cold and aloof once more.

“Saying these things now, are you trying to make up for your previous words? Sensei, unfortunately, I will no longer be deceived by your words while full of expectation.”

With that, she turned around and walked straight ahead, leaving Kagami Yuto standing under the utility pole by the roadside, his heart filled with complexity and silence.

It seemed that wanting to understand a girl’s heart was truly extraordinarily difficult.

At the very least, this was the first time he had realized because of her that the two emotions of hating someone and liking someone could exist at the same time.

He had never known that before.

Of course, this might also be his own unauthorized fantasy.

Thinking this in his heart, after a long while, he bitterly sighed.

—

Tsukimi Ryuune strolled along the street.

She did not know where she wanted to go.

Go home? She did not want to.

The so-called family was like perfectly trained actors, surrounding her, the lead actress, in a family play titled Perfect Harmony.

Yet a customizable life was just this full of boredom.

Her life had long had no places that needed to be challenged.

But even so, she who possessed everything had never felt that the hole in her heart named desire had been filled.

She was a person who extremely lacked love.

Although she could use the Divine Authority of a god to establish a world that revolved around herself and at the same time make everyone regard her as the most important person, the love obtained through such methods was ultimately false.

She had always been very clear about this, and at the same time felt that such a self was abnormally pitiful.

Even after becoming an omnipotent existence, there was not even one person by her side who cherished her from the bottom of their heart.

Even the so-called love could only be obtained by constructing falsehoods…

In the more than ten years since becoming a god in the past, she had always lived in such an empty and lonely life.

It was not that she had not tried to hypnotize herself into accepting all this falsehood, but as long as a single flaw appeared in the process, the dream of illusion she constructed would be pierced like being pricked by a needle.

She was very clear how painful and collapsed her heart would be when she woke up in that way.

Dreams were good, but the premise was that they would not let people wake from them.

Until Kagami Yuto appeared.

This man’s concern for her let her see for the first time that she could actually become the most important existence in a stranger’s heart…

While this surprised her, a trace of happiness actually arose in her heart.

Especially that concern, which was a pure caring that did not mix in any selfish factors…

It was also from this moment that she realized her heart was beginning to be occupied little by little by that man.

She did not know what was wrong with herself.

She clearly did not like men at all.

Because of her gender in the previous life, her fondness for women might even be more, but contrary to that, she had actively made an exception with this man.

She actually… would feel angry because the weight she occupied in his heart was not heavy enough.

This situation was simply like getting jealous upon hearing that the person she liked had developed good feelings for someone else.

She wished that there was only herself in the other party’s heart.

Possessiveness acting up.

This term involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Even though she really did not want to admit it, it seemed there was nothing more suitable to interpret her symptoms than this.

Tsukimi Ryuune sighed.

Just as she raised her head, a voice full of frivolous teasing unexpectedly sounded beside her.

“Yo, little girl walking alone in such a dim place, are you going home or somewhere? Aren’t you scared being alone? Want big brother to accompany you~”

Upon hearing that, she subconsciously raised her head, only to find that she had unknowingly wandered into a deep alley.

Three or four yellow-haired thugs who had been drinking and squatting by the roadside saw her appearance and all whistled as they came up to hit on her.

“…”

“Move aside.”

She spoke with a cold expression.

At this moment her mood was not good, and the thugs in front of her just happened to bump into the window through which she wanted to vent her emotions.

“Still a high school girl, tsk tsk.”

The other party seemed not to have heard her words.

Instead, because of the cold, proud, and noble temperament between her brows, a bit of wicked intent arose, especially that pretty face that was so beautiful it was astonishing and pure.

For any man who was drunk and heated up, it was a fatal attraction.

“Little girl, that figure of yours is way too foul, isn’t it? Big brother knows a fun place. With your figure and looks you’ll definitely be popular. How about it, want to come play with us?”

Upon hearing that, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth as she looked at the thug boss in front of her as if looking at a dead person.

“If you don’t speak I’ll take it as you agreeing. Come, follow me…”

As the words fell, the thug boss was just about to reach out and put his hand on her shoulder, but at this time, a large hand suddenly appeared and stopped him.

“? Ha…?”

The thug looked back with drunken hazy eyes, only to see that an unfamiliar male with a handsome appearance had appeared beside him at some unknown time.

The latter’s eyes were full of coldness, giving people the feeling of a lion on the verge of erupting.

“Who the hell are you? Let go of me!”

Tsukimi Ryuune was also a little surprised upon seeing this.

Until she curiously looked back, only to find that the face of the man behind her was familiar to the point it could not be more familiar.

Kagami Yuto did not pay attention to the struggling thug beside him.

Instead, he looked at Tsukimi Ryuune in front of him with an expression full of concern, the cold expression instantly becoming gentle.

“Ryuune, are you okay?”

“Um, Sensei wasn’t at ease with you walking home alone at night, so I secretly escorted you from a distance, and as a result…”

Before he could finish speaking, the thug beside him raised a fist wanting to punch him, but Kagami Yuto dodged it with a very rapid reaction.

His gaze turned back toward the former.

While using a grappling hold and throw to flip him onto the ground, he protected her behind himself.

“Looks like the matters here need to be resolved.”

“Ryuune, step back. Let your teacher deal with these guys.”

Tsukimi Ryuune did not make a sound.

She only quietly watched him rush forward, his movements quite agile as he took down the four thugs one by one in a few moves.

This was still the first time she had seen such a violent side of him.
