Chapter 2 Chapter 2
◎Will it be eaten?◎
The child's parents also said with anticipation: "I also think the principal is different from ordinary monsters!"
Of course it’s different, because I am a real human being.
Lian Jiu pondered: "That..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the child's parents.
"Director, can my child be transferred to another class?" The parent hesitated. The new director seemed very familiar with the rules of human society. Would he have to give something in return for asking the director to do something for him? So, he said carefully, "I'll definitely catch you a few more rats later, big, fat ones."
Just thinking about that scene gave me goosebumps.
"Oops," Yu Zhongming corrected the parent, "Have you forgotten? Human etiquette says you shouldn't interrupt others when they're speaking."
"Ah! I'm sorry, Principal!"
"……It doesn't matter."
This incident made me feel less nervous after a long time.
Although he didn't intend to be the headmaster, seeing how anxious the monster was, Lian Jiuxian asked Yu Chongming, "Are there any rules for class division?"
"No, no," Yu Chongming whispered in the new principal's ear, "This is our first time running a kindergarten. We haven't figured out the rules of human experience yet. There are basically no rules. We're just groping in the dark."
Lian Jiu frowned slightly upon hearing this. Although he didn't understand monsters, the childhood stage of any creature was very important. Running a kindergarten was a big deal and should not be taken lightly.
Yu Zhongming: "The little cat demon is a controllable demon monster and should be placed in the liberal arts class."
"Liberal Arts Class?"
"It's a class of cubs that are not very aggressive." This class division was Yu Chongming's own idea. After all, in order to integrate with the human world, one has to use human terms.
Recalling their previous conversation, Lian Jiu asked, "What about the martial arts class?"
"They are just some fierce monsters and beasts, lions, tigers and so on."
“…”
The idea of resigning became more determined.
"This was a mistake made by the school. I'll record the child's name and age and will make arrangements later." Lian Jiu said to the child's parents politely with an apologetic tone. After a pause, he added with mixed feelings, "Please also note the monster's category."
"Okay, okay." The child's parents breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll catch the mouse for you right now. I guarantee it'll be fresh."
"No need!" Lian Jiu's hair stood on end, and he stated his position in a trembling voice, "It's all the right thing to do. The school shouldn't accept gifts, not even from mice!"
Huh? Why are these different from the human rules I've heard of?
The child's mother had no choice but to leave with the child.
The little carp spirit and a few of its friends stared at Lian Jiu with bright eyes: "Teacher."
Lian Jiu didn't show any temper in front of the child: "Huh?"
Little Carp Spirit: "We, too, learn to be like human babies, right?"
Drawing on his previous experience as a kindergarten teacher communicating with children, Lian Jiu tried to understand what it meant: "You mean, can you learn like a human baby?"
"Um!"
Lian Jiu couldn't answer this question because he didn't plan to stay here any longer. But thinking of the leaders' expectations for the kindergarten, he nodded and said, "I think so."
The little babies were so happy that their tails began to appear again.
"It's time to go back to the cave, it's time to go back to the lake," Yu Chongming urged. "The headmaster still has things to do."
"Okay!" The little monsters waved their lotus-root-like arms, "Goodbye."
Lian Jiu asked worriedly, "Can they go back on their own?"
"Sure, they're all nearby. I'm used to running around all day."
After watching the little monsters leave, Lian Jiu finally let out a breath and turned around and said, "Let's go in and talk."
After this, she realized that these monsters were not as scary as the legends said, and... if she could work in the Municipal Bureau, this couldn't be a world of monsters, right?
After entering the school, Lian Jiu could finally see the furnishings inside. Just as the leader had said on the phone, they were all modified according to the schools in human society, just a simple version. The tables and chairs were tree stumps of varying heights, and only the small blackboard looked normal.
In the principal's office, a long tree trunk was broken into a "sofa", and there were several rough wooden bookcases filled with many books on early childhood education.
They walked into the office one after the other. Seeing Yu Chongming standing there waiting for him, Lian Jiu felt much more at ease: "Please take a seat."
Only then did Yu Chongming sit down on the "sofa".
Lian Jiu gave up his position as the headmaster and sat across from Yu Chongming, asking softly, "Is this world full of monsters?"
"Huh?" Although a little confused, Yu Chongming remembered the demon god's words about the new director just awakening, so it was normal for him to be confused. He said, "No, there are very few demons. Apart from Fuyu Mountain, there are only three other areas where demons have awakened. The number is far less than the number of humans."
Fortunately, Lian Jiu still thought he was alone.
Yu Chongming continued, "But the kindergarten is only available in our Fuyushan area because there are several demon gods guarding this area. They also don't know the feasibility of this, so we can only experiment first."
"test?"
"Yes, except for the Great Demon God who fell asleep and awakened many years ago and has a certain understanding of humans, the other monsters are just beginning to gain spiritual awareness and are very reckless. Initially, they caused a lot of trouble to human society. Later, the demon gods signed a contract with relevant human departments, and the monsters were sealed in their respective areas. However, considering that this was not a long-term solution, it was discussed that as long as the monsters can integrate into human society, follow human systems and regulations, and do not cause any chaos or panic, they can be released."
Yu Chongming said, "Adult monsters are fine, as they can control their own behavior and can be sent to the relevant monster departments for training. However, little monsters without independent consciousness are useless for training, and they cannot be sent to human kindergartens. Therefore, the monster gods decided to establish a monster kindergarten in Fuyu Mountain to train them from a young age, so that the little monsters will not be out of touch with society when they grow up."
I didn't expect that this kindergarten was of such great significance. It was also the first testing site in the demon world, so they wouldn't have asked an ordinary person like me to come here.
Lian Jiu was a little surprised: "Are you willing to follow human rules?"
"Of course, the demon world is scattered and lacks a perfect system. This is worth learning. Besides..." Yu Chongming sighed softly, "Except for demon gods like you, other demons are very ordinary and are also very afraid of those human weapons."
"No, no, no." Hearing this, Lian Jiu finally remembered what she was going to say. Now she was not so scared and explained, "You may have misunderstood. I am not a monster."
Yu Chongming had an expression that said, "I understand." "You are a demon god. Ordinary demons cannot be the headmaster."
"I'm not even a god," Lian Jiu said gently. "I'm a human. Did something go wrong? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Now it was Yu Chongming who was confused.
Two hours later, Lian Jiu met again with the leader he had called before, oh no, it should be the demon god. He must have come temporarily during work because he was still wearing a police uniform. Yu Chongming said that this was the mythical beast Yinglong.
Yinglong said to Yu Chongming, "You go out first."
"Wait a moment." Thinking that he would not continue working, Lian Jiu reminded him, "You can divide the children into large, medium and small classes according to their age. This will avoid conflicts between the children's different cognitions and make it easier for them to learn different knowledge. Maybe the large classes will no longer need to be divided into small and fierce monsters, otherwise the gap will be deeply rooted in the future."
Yinglong looked at her thoughtfully.
After Yu Chongming left, the man and the demon looked at each other in bewilderment.
Sitting opposite the divine beast, Lian Jiu tried hard to keep steady.
Yinglong first explored, and finally confirmed: "It can't be a human, we saw you appear out of thin air with our own eyes."
“…”
So he was seen the moment he crossed over? No wonder he was taken away from the police station!
Lian Jiu didn't know how to explain it. Which one would be more acceptable, time travel or a world with monsters?
"Also," Yinglong sniffed forward, "there's a scent on you that has a calming and suppressing effect on demonic energy. Many demon gods find it difficult to do so."
"Smell? Shower gel?" Lian Jiu whispered, "It's the Safeguard from the female police officer's dormitory yesterday."
“…”
"I'm truly a human." Lian Jiu pointed at his head. "I don't have horns or a tail, I can't transform, and I don't have any special abilities."
Yinglong could see these, but he could sense the aura of awakening from Lian Jiu, and he thought, "Perhaps you haven't awakened yet?"
Lian Jiu: How convinced are you that you are a monster?
"Let's just say that." Lian Jiu didn't dwell on this. "But given the current situation, any demon god like you would be better than me."
Yinglong coughed lightly and said, "There is no one more suitable than you."
"Why?"
The coughing sound was more obvious now, but Lian Jiu was too easy to talk to and had a gentle personality, so Ying Long really couldn't bear to lie to her: "Because the other demon gods and demons can't come."
"Divine beasts like us need to constantly communicate with the human world to maintain order in the demon world and manage the greater demons." Yinglong paused, helpless. "As for the others, they don't know how to take care of children. They might raise them to be even more unruly and unruly, and even eat the little demons in a fit of rage."
Those monsters have no interest in human society at all. It would be a great deed for them to suppress a few demons. Can we still expect them to take care of the little monsters?
Eat monsters!
Lian Jiu's attention was distracted and he shuddered: "Can it still be like this?"
"Yes, so you can calm the demonic energy and be a teacher, so you are the most suitable." Yinglong touched his nose, "The main reason is that we can't find any other demons except you."
Lian Jiu: "...That's why you were so anxious to get me to sign the contract yesterday."
Yinglong's eyes were wandering, refusing to meet her gaze.
Lian Jiu took a deep breath: "I still don't think so..."
"I will definitely pay you what I promised you in the contract. Your salary, five social insurances, and one housing fund will be paid on time!" Ying Long hurriedly took out two cards. "I've already got your ID card. It looks ordinary to humans and is universally accepted in the human world. I also have a salary card, but you'll need to activate it later."
Lian Jiu took it and looked at it, and saw five big, bright words: Demon Identity Card.
A little suffocating.
She wondered inappropriately, "Can you still pay salaries?"
"Hmm..." Yinglong's eyes drifted even further. "Although we are poor, we won't let you suffer. Therefore, the demon gods who work here will combine their salaries every month and pay them to you according to human regulations. Don't worry."
Lian Jiu was moved by their selfless spirit. How could she, an undocumented person with no education, eat the government food? But the problem was that she didn't think the five social insurances and one housing fund were very attractive. If the big demons could eat the small demons, then was she enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the lions and tigers?
She said tactfully, "You know, I'm just an ordinary person now. As for that fierce demon class, I might really..."
"The little monsters will never hurt you!" Ying Long promised righteously, "I will immediately arrange a bodyguard for you, an ancient monster god, very reliable. With him around, no monster, big or small, will dare to act recklessly."
Lien Jiu: "..."
The little monster is afraid of himself, so even if a demon god comes, he won’t dare to act recklessly.
For the sake of the child, Yinglong shamelessly cheated: "Besides, we signed a two-year contract."
Lienjiu:!
I can't afford the liquidated damages now, so I just cancel the contract without going through any formalities and get eaten up on the spot?
Not hearing any more rejection, Yinglong sighed and played the emotional card again: "Teacher Lianjiu, the children really need a learning environment right now, otherwise they will be trapped here forever."
Human society will not allow monsters that cannot control themselves to escape.
Lian Jiu had heard this from several monsters, and the bright and expectant eyes of the little carp spirit appeared in front of him.
After hesitating for a long time, Lian Jiu decided to save his life first. He asked, "Can that bodyguard be assigned to his post as soon as possible?"
The author has something to say:
Unknown man: I'm just a bodyguard :)
Director Long: No matter how hard it is, education cannot be a hardship!
