In the next few days, Fang Zheng did not take action immediately. Instead, he did the same thing every day. He went to class, went home, and then drank tea in the infirmary, waiting for someone to come for consultation. Perhaps because the profession of psychological counselor was too prestigious, or perhaps because Fang Zheng's so-called "study abroad" background was quite eye-catching, many children came to him. Of course, what these children said to Fang Zheng were just small things like "He took my toy", "I like OO, but I don't know how to say it", "What should I do if someone hates me", etc., but even so, Fang Zheng patiently enlightened them one by one.
Because Fang Zheng knew very well that only in this way could he gain recognition from certain beings.
Sure enough, hard work pays off. A week later, Fang Zheng's "psychological counseling room" welcomed a guest he had expected.
"Um... Teacher, I didn't disturb you, did I? No?"
"Welcome, Reina."
Looking at the girl in a white dress in front of him, Fang Zheng stood up with a smile and made a gesture.
"No, this is my job after all. Please take a seat... What would you like to drink? Tea? Coffee? I have cakes here."
"Ah, then I'd like a cup of black tea."
"Of course."
Hearing Rena's request, Fang Zheng nodded, poured a cup of black tea, and then took out a piece of fruit cake from the refrigerator next to him. When Rena saw the fruit cake, her expression suddenly changed.
"Oh, it's so cute, I want to take it home!!"
This is also some kind of mental illness.
Looking at Rena, who was squinting her eyes and wandering around in front of the fruit cake as if she was attracted by it, Fang Zheng also complained in his heart. Then he closed the door, sat back in his chair, and snapped his fingers. Then, the soundproof magic took effect instantly, turning the whole room into a secret room.
This was one of Fang Zheng's methods. After all, this was just an ordinary country school, and its quality was average. Although most of the students here were children, they were particularly sensitive to such things. Fang Zheng didn't want someone to eavesdrop on him while he was doing psychological counseling. Perhaps this was just a trivial annoyance, but once it was heard by outsiders or even said in front of the client, it would have a big impact on him. Therefore, before each "treatment", Fang Zheng would cast a soundproofing magic to eliminate this problem.
Of course, if you think about it from another angle, this also means that no matter what happens in the infirmary, people outside can't hear anything... hehehe...
Okay, overthinking.
Perhaps because of the black tea and cake, Rena was no longer as nervous as when she first arrived. She first drank a sip of black tea and then looked at Fang Zheng.
"Actually... Teacher, I have something that is troubling me, and I don't know how to explain it... My father..."
While listening to Rena's story, Fang Zheng began to recall the plot.
Rena's story is actually very tragic. Rena's mother is an excellent designer, and in order to make his wife's work more smoothly, her father resolutely resigned and moved to where his wife worked. But unfortunately, his choice did not bring a good result. His wife, whose status was gradually rising, obviously couldn't stand her husband who resigned and stayed at home, and instead fell in love with those men who were in the same position as her. In the end, Rena's mother divorced her husband because of an affair, and Rena was also hit hard by this.
But this is just the beginning. After moving back to Hinamizawa, Rena's father fell into a slump and drank all day to drown his sorrows. Then, he met a woman in a brothel - Rena Mamiya.
This woman was Hojo Teppei's lover and also his accomplice. She and Hojo Teppei used a trap to lure Rena's father into the scheme, and made Rena's father spend a lot of money on her. In the end, they even used the pretext of marriage to trick Rena's father into buying her a house with all his money.
After buying the house, Hojo Teppei showed up in time and beat up Rena's father severely, saying "You dare to touch my woman". So the unlucky guy lost both his wife and his army, and suffered a huge loss.
Seeing what her father had suffered, Rena naturally couldn't bear it, and she eventually killed Mamiya Reina and Hojo Teppei, starting the legend of Hinamizawa's dark transformation, and the hatchet became one of the three most deadly weapons, famous throughout the world.
Putting himself in her shoes, Fang Zheng felt that no one could tolerate this, especially since even if they went to court, it would be difficult to win. To put it bluntly, if most people encountered a situation like Rena, their first reaction would probably be to kill this pair of dogs and couples who brought disaster to the world.
So this has nothing to do with whether or not you are infected with the virus. Anyone would do the same thing if it happened to them.
Unfortunately, Fang Zheng had a premonition that killing people was absolutely forbidden in this world, otherwise he would have found a way to sink these two people in Tokyo Bay by now.
"Now my father wants to buy a house for that woman... I really don't know what to do..."
This is the limit of "children".
Fang Zheng silently watched Rena lower her head and sighed.
"Children" are just "children" after all. No matter how smart or strong they are, they all want to get help and support from their parents. Single-parent families like Rena's are already very stressful. If something like this happens, even if Rena is usually carefree, she probably won't be happy.
However, Fang Zheng is not completely without a solution.
"Reina, do you believe in your father?"
"this……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Rena was stunned for a moment, then she hesitated for a moment and shook her head.
"I, I don't know, teacher... I just think my father's current state is not good..."
"Well, let me put it another way."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng took a sip of coffee.
"Do you believe your father still loves you?"
"Of course my father loves me!"
Having said this, Rena suddenly stood up excitedly and clenched her fists.
"I also want to, I also hope that father can forget the past and live a good life, but that woman...that woman deceived father! Now father only has eyes for that woman!"
At this moment, Rena's expression became more and more ferocious, and even Fang Zheng could sense the terrifying murderous intent emanating from the girl in front of him. It was just like a ferocious beast that was about to show its fangs.
Is this Hinamizawa Syndrome?
Not only that, Fang Zheng was also surprised to find that Rena's strength had actually increased!
According to the classification of the main world, Rena's strength was originally at the level of an ordinary person, but now, she has even gradually improved to the entry-level standard!
Is this virus the reincarnation of a Saiyan? Could it be capable of a super-super-super transformation?
"Then go and have a good talk with your father."
Fang Zheng was of course very clear that when someone was angry, the last thing to do was to appease him. Venting anger was everyone's instinct, and appeasement was like pressing down hard on a lid that was supposed to be opened, which would only make the anger burn more. So what he had to do was not to appease, but to open the lid directly, and then... turn off the fire.
"Why?"
Perhaps because she heard an unexpected answer, Rena was stunned. She stared at Fang Zheng blankly, and her ferocious expression gradually disappeared. At the same time, the beast-like killing intent and aura gradually withdrew.
"If you are really dissatisfied with your father's behavior, then go and tell him directly. Being patient alone will not change anything. If you want to say something, say it out loud. If you still believe that he is your father, then you should not be afraid of this."
Having said that, Fang Zheng took another sip of coffee and looked at Rena with a half-smile.
"Or... do you think your father won't take what you say to heart, and that he cares more about that woman than you?"
"That's impossible. Dad loves me the most! I love Dad the most, too!"
Father’s love is like a mountain. Should we add a ghost father route here?
"Then find your father and have a good talk."
Fang Zheng put down the mug in his hand and looked at Rena with a smile. He had had similar experiences before and understood the inner thoughts of these children. They all knew that they were wronged, but in order to be "obedient" and "sensible", these children kept their grievances in their hearts and never expressed them. They only hoped that by doing so, their parents would change their minds or get closer to them. But this was obviously impossible.
"If you don't say it, your father won't know. People need to use language to communicate because not everything goes the way they want. Maybe you should try it."
“…”
After hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Rena was stunned for a moment. Then she seemed to have made up her mind and bowed respectfully to Fang Zheng.
"Thank you, teacher. I will try my best."
“I wish you success.”
