Time goes by day by day.
Generally speaking, Fang Zheng's work was quite leisurely. He went to class, went home after school, trained Nanoha and the others in magic, and occasionally watched Sakura collect the Clow Cards. Of course, Fang Zheng also did not forget to investigate the black shadow monster.
However, to be honest, at this stage, the investigation into the shadow monster has almost reached a deadlock.
According to Precia's investigation, these shadow monsters are something that leaked out from another world, and they took shape because they were contaminated and absorbed the magic power of this world. Moreover, when there are enough of these shadow monsters, they will form a humanoid boss, and at the same time create a different space channel to swallow the magical girls into another world.
If Fang Zheng guessed correctly, if he wanted to end this matter, he would eventually end up in another world.
However, for the sake of safety, Fang Zheng still planned to wait a little longer, at least until Xiaoying had resolved all the issues, and then consider taking everyone to that world to see what the situation was.
But when Fang Zheng arrived at school today, he found that the atmosphere was a little strange.
How should I put it...the whole school is filled with joy, a bit like it’s a festival.
Celebrating the holidays?
But shouldn’t we have holidays during festivals?
Fang Zheng was also a little confused by the day - as a time dragon, a being beyond time, he could be said to be the least sensitive to the passage of time.
"teacher!"
Not long after Fang Zheng entered the teaching building, he was stopped by two little girls in the corridor.
"Hmm? What's up?"
Seeing the two little girls running over in a hurry, Fang Zheng also stopped and looked at them. Fang Zheng was not unfamiliar with these two people. They were students in Fang Zheng's class and also good friends of Nanoha, Alisa Barnes and Tsukimura Suzuka. Fang Zheng also had some impression of the two supporting characters in the original work, but he did not have much contact with them because of this.
“That… this…”
Looking at Fang Zheng, Tsukimura Suzuka lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. Then she hesitated for a while, then took out a brown rectangular box from her arms and handed it over.
"Please accept it!"
"What's this?"
Fang Zheng curiously took the box that Suzuka handed over and took a look at it.
"chocolate?"
"Yes, that's right... Teacher, you have always helped us solve difficult problems in our homework, so... that's right..."
At this point, Suzuka blushed and lowered her head.
"So this is just a small token of my gratitude..."
"And mine."
At this moment, Alisa also squeezed over from the side, then handed over the cake box in her hand with a puffed face and an angry look.
"This is the chocolate cake I made myself! You...try it! And that...Nanoha and the others have always been taken care of by you, thank you teacher...Let's go, Suzuka!"
After saying this, Alisa stuffed the cake box directly to Fang Zheng, then blushed and grabbed Suzuka's hand and turned away. Fang Zheng, holding the two boxes, looked at the two people's backs in confusion as they disappeared, then shrugged his shoulders, turned around and continued walking towards the office.
But what Fang Zheng didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
Throughout the rest of the journey, Fang Zheng would frequently encounter students giving him gifts. The reasons for giving gifts were varied, such as helping him with his homework, helping him improve his grades, or being very gentle... Most of them were students in Fang Zheng's class, and there were also some from other grades, and... basically all of them were girls.
By the time Fang Zheng arrived at the office door, the various gifts in his hands had almost piled up into a mountain.
"Ah, Mr. Fang Zheng, good morning..."
Seeing Fang Zheng come in, the male teacher sitting at the table next to him hurriedly greeted him and then helped Fang Zheng take over the mountain of gifts that were almost crumbling.
"This is……?"
“A gift from a student on the way to the office.”
Fang Zheng casually placed the gifts on the table, then sorted them out briefly and discovered that most of them were chocolates. The rest were also related to chocolate, such as chocolate cakes, chocolate puddings, chocolate cookies... Why were they all chocolates?
"So many? Teacher Fang Zheng is really popular."
"Yeah?"
After hearing the male teacher's answer, Fang Zheng looked at him, and at this moment, suddenly, there was a knock on the office door, and then a girl with short hair and a very calm look walked in.
"Teacher Terada..."
"Ah, it's Sasaki."
Looking at the girl who walked in, Mr. Terada scratched his head a little embarrassedly, then walked forward.
"What's the matter?"
“…Please accept this!”
Looking at Mr. Terada in front of her, the girl named Sasaki was silent for a moment, then took out a teddy bear and a box of chocolates from the bag in her arms and handed them over.
"Teacher... this is for you..."
"Ah, Sasaki, thank you..."
Faced with this unexpected gift, Mr. Terada was obviously a little embarrassed, and he smiled shyly, then took the gift from Sasaki. After seeing Mr. Terada accept the gift, Sasaki also showed a happy smile on her face, and then she bowed to Mr. Terada and Fang Zheng obediently, and then turned around and left the staff room in a hurry.
"It seems that you are quite popular, Mr. Terada."
Looking at this scene, Fang Zheng couldn't help but make a joke, while Mr. Terada just laughed and sat back in his seat without saying anything.
In fact, it was not only Terada, Fang Zheng also noticed that many teachers had received gifts from their students. Of course, in terms of quantity, Fang Zheng was overwhelmingly in the majority. Everyone was somewhat envious and jealous of this, but they just made a few jokes.
Since every teacher has one, Fang Zheng stopped thinking about these strange things. Maybe today is Teacher's Day? After all, Fang Zheng remembered that when he was in school, he would also give gifts to teachers on Teacher's Day. Of course, generally everyone in the class would buy something together, not like here where everyone gave gifts separately... And why were they all chocolates?
By the way, does Japan have Teachers' Day?
If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to finish all the chocolates. But fortunately, Fang Zheng was the Time Dragon, and for a dragon's appetite, this little bit of chocolate was nothing. So Fang Zheng just treated it as a snack, eating it while touching it, and he was quite happy.
However, during lunch break, when Fang Zheng went to the club activity room, he encountered something that surprised him.
"What is this?"
Looking at the huge box in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but touch his chin with some curiosity. On the surface, it looked like an enlarged gift box with the words "Teacher's Personal Letter" written on it, but what exactly was it?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng curiously reached out, untied the ribbon, and then opened the box.
Then, Fang Zheng was completely stunned.
In the box, Fate was curled up naked, sitting like a life-size doll. She was only tied with a ribbon and tied into a bow to cover her chest. At this moment, Fate blushed and looked at Fang Zheng embarrassedly.
"Um...teacher..."
"Uh... Fate? What... do you mean?"
Looking at Fate in front of him, Fang Zheng's brain was completely at a loss.
Is this some kind of prank?
"Because today is Valentine's Day...so, I want to give the teacher a gift..."
At this moment, Fate also lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Gift?"
"Yes, Sister Xiaohei said... this will make you, the teacher, happier..."
Having said that, Fate looked at Fang Zheng again with some uneasiness.
"Teacher, are you unhappy?"
“…”
Looking at this scene, Fang Zheng was completely speechless.
How should I answer this?
