Chapter 48 About the Mistake
While Tatsuhiko Shibusawa was pondering whether there was a connection between gold and gold.
The crisp sound of high heels clicking on the ground grew louder as it approached, finally stopping at the doorway.
The door was opened by a professional woman wearing red high heels.
She frowned slightly, as if somewhat displeased, and asked:
What are you all doing gathered here?
Angela had just returned from the lower level, intending to check if the supervisor had gone to rest.
What we found was a monitoring room packed with people.
She thought, maybe they've already finished get off work today?
Wow... Angela sounds angry.
Sure enough, the next moment, Angela looked at X, who was watching the three people lying on the ground, and said:
"If I remember correctly, you promised me that you would go to rest soon."
"Now that you've finished your work, what are you doing?"
Angela looked like she practically had "Go to sleep" written all over her face.
The black-haired youth wanted to witness the sinners waking up and tried to stall for time.
Then I saw... an AI with its eyes closed looking at me with its golden eyes.
The words that were not yet spoken were swallowed back down.
X felt guilty, as he had no way of witnessing whether the sinners had truly been brought back.
He silently turned his head to look at Daniel.
Daniel somehow understood what his supervisor meant.
He looked at the gold color, which was no different from that of the secretary, and nodded heavily.
The supervisor was taken away by the secretary.
After meeting Angela, Tatsuhiko Shibusawa, who had remained silent all along, began to doubt whether his previous feelings were just a figment of his imagination.
Is it a coincidence?
The woman who came in later also had a pair of golden eyes that were almost the same color.
It seems... the focus is still on those three people?
The remaining people in the monitoring room turned their attention to the head of the welfare department, who was still holding a coffee cup in his hand.
Alright, now that the cleanup work has been handed over to him, he can't let his supervisor down.
“First,” he looked at Dazai Osamu, who suddenly wilted as if he had realized his time to slack off was over.
"Dazai-kun, you should go back to class."
Dazai Osamu, who didn't want to go up, had a head of short, iris-colored hair that he had messed up by scratching.
He felt that, despite his young age, he was already like some underground doctor whose current situation was unknown, with a receding hairline.
He tried to struggle with the welfare department head, who was much easier to talk to than his supervisor:
“But Sinclair still…”
Before he could finish speaking, one of the three lying-down group suddenly moved.
The short-haired woman opened her eyes, sat up, and carefully examined her hands, also noticing Honglu lying flat to one side.
"Alright, Dazai-kun, he's awake."
Damn it! She woke up so quickly.
Wait! If the product doesn't match the description, he can still try to argue!
The short-haired woman stood up with a composed expression and loosened the collar that Sinclair had dressed her up so formally.
He reached behind the monitor and pulled out a pack of cigarettes.
Daniel watched as Ryosuke, who had returned, tried to start a fire with the feathers that were still floating slightly beside the unconscious blond boy.
This starkly different reaction from Sinclair's confirmed to him that their souls had indeed been swapped back.
And... judging from her practiced movements, when exactly did she manage to hide cigarettes right under Angela's nose?
However, he still wanted to stop it.
"Ryosuke! Smoking is not allowed here!"
She made a slightly annoyed sound, but without objection, she put the cigarette in her mouth and abandoned her intention to light it with the "Feather of Glory".
She can just find another place to smoke later.
Ryosoo, who wanted a smoke, spotted a particular child, pulled him close, and left Daniel with a message:
"Attend class."
They dragged Dazai Osamu away.
The boy tried to struggle, but the woman was very strong, and he couldn't break free at all. In the end, he could only watch the elevator get closer and closer to him.
The voice of Li Xiang imparting his knowledge and teaching seems to be ringing in my ears...
Oh, right!
"Miss Ryoshu, haven't you seen Akutagawa and the others in a long time?"
Go see the child you adopted!
However, compared to Dazai Osamu, who learns from the moment he opens his eyes.
Although Liangxiu was also working overtime with her supervisor, her two children had regular days off.
It's Friday today, and they've spent so much time messing around with the facilities downstairs; they're probably almost there.
A boy with a hairstyle resembling a lop-eared rabbit was already waiting up there.
He was waiting for Liangxiu to get off work; as usual, she would have dinner with them on Fridays.
While waiting for the guardian, he politely greeted the suitcase left on it.
Some curious children, after getting permission, casually flipped through the paper and pens left on the table.
A student in the first year of junior high school at the time said he couldn't understand it at all and raised a profound question:
"Mr. Li Xiang...are you tutoring college students?"
His current school has a high school section, and occasionally, senior students from the high school section will come back for after-school club activities.
He had also seen high school students yelling and doing their homework on the roadside, but the things in Li Xiang's box didn't seem to be high school knowledge.
"Huh?"
Li Xiang couldn't understand Akutagawa Ryunosuke's meaning at first.
"I thought... these were basic facts?"
Having already adapted to campus life, Akutagawa took two steps back as if he had seen something terrifying.
He inexplicably began to suspect something:
"These...could this be what Dazai-san wants to learn?"
The dark-haired man nodded at him.
The junior high school student, who had unilaterally distanced himself from conflict, had become much more cheerful. Upon seeing the affirmation from Li Xiang, he couldn't help but gasp.
If he remembered correctly... Dazai-san's academic level should be about the same as his own.
This thing...
He couldn't help but look at the whiteboard covered with strange symbols with a sense of awe.
As expected of Mr. Dazai!
I can't believe I've learned so much in just one week!
Dazai Osamu was unaware that, following the expected path, he had gained a devoted admirer named Akutagawa Ryunosuke.
Li Xiang couldn't help but feel troubled. Based on Akutagawa's words, he seemed to realize that he had unknowingly gone too far.
But Sinclair didn't correct it either...
No! It seems that as soon as I start talking about these complicated topics, Sinclair, who is usually quite eloquent, starts to doze off.
He knew perfectly well that it wasn't actually Ryoshu, and he lacked the courage to wake him up.
We can only follow Dazai-kun's progress.
But he can understand everything!
I thought everything I said was normal... No wonder the child's dark circles have been getting worse lately, and his mental state seems a bit abnormal.
He thought it was just that he couldn't sit still...
What has he done?!
"Akutagawa-kun, can you tell me where you are in your studies?"
Li Xiang opened the box that was placed to the side, which was filled with papers, representing the results of his teaching during this period.
In terms of age, Dazai Osamu was only two grades ahead of Akutagawa, so it was easy to see that Akutagawa's progress had regressed.
Having resigned himself to his fate, the Black Mud Spirit walked in front of Liang Xiu, who lit a cigarette as soon as he stepped out of the elevator.
You'll have to learn it sooner or later, so you might as well get it done quickly...
No, he had to think of a way to let Chuuya also experience the joy of learning.
Since the supervisor doesn't want new employees, bringing in a new student isn't a bad option.
Just as he was about to sink to the bottom of the sea of knowledge again, he saw a gray statue.
It looks like a suitcase, no, this is a suitcase that has lost its ideals.
"Grand Chancellor..."
For some reason, Dazai Osamu felt that Li Xiang's voice seemed to tremble slightly.
I'm sorry.
"Dazai-san! You are truly amazing!"
Unlike the gray and white suitcases that stayed beside the box, Akutagawa, with his black and white suitcases, approached with great admiration.
What happened?
Why did Akutagawa have such a strange reaction?
"Dazai-kun, we... have gone beyond the scope of the curriculum."
Dazai Osamu, realizing that something he didn't want to face had happened, tried to play dumb.
What does it mean to be beyond the scope of the curriculum?
"In fact, our tutoring could have ended long ago."
The first sinner, feeling deeply ashamed, covered his face; there was no need to continue.
Dazai Osamu is now old enough to graduate completely, like a university graduate.
Liangxiu passed by the teaching accident duo, puffing on her cigarette. It seemed that she was no longer needed to accompany them here.
Although she worked long hours, her body got plenty of rest.
She finally had some free time during the day, so she was going to take the kids out to eat.
"Mr. Li Xiang".
Dazai Osamu's voice took on the same vibrato as Li Xiang's.
Li Xiang lowered his hand and looked at the unfortunate but gifted child with his dark eyes.
"Can I know how much it's exceeded?"
There was a stack of documents on the table; the rest were in a box.
Simply learning more of what's on the table isn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Dazai-kun, the boxes... have too much."
Li Xiang's voice shattered his hopes.
Oh wow...
Now, the sculpture that had lost its ideal was divided into two.
After an unknown amount of time, the elevator doors opened again, and two Transcendent beings, along with an accompanying superhuman, stepped out.
As he passed by the two, the more outgoing red-haired youth chuckled at the stunned Dazai Osamu.
He quite liked this clever kid, so he patted the stunned Dazai Osamu on the shoulder, somewhat curious:
"Weren't we supposed to be in class? What are you two doing here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed the resentment emanating from the boy that could make one's soul tremble.
What's wrong? Did something go wrong with what he said?
"Mr. Cervantes..."
A faint voice came from the boy's mouth, "Please don't mention it again."
Whether it was his imagination or not, Cervantes inexplicably felt that the somewhat dazed boy in front of him resembled a salted fish that had lost its dreams.
It was Tatsuhiko Shibusawa's first time here, and he didn't know the background. He glanced at the contents of the box and found that the items inside looked familiar yet unfamiliar.
He seems to have only recently learned this... but it's subtly different from what he learned before.
He comes from a prestigious family with a long and distinguished history, and received a rigorous education from a young age until his special abilities were discovered.
From then on, he was taken to his master's house and no longer received the elite education that ordinary people receive.
Instead, they focused on how to improve their supernatural abilities.
While he was developing his special abilities, his family continued to expand his knowledge, but they still focused on his special abilities and used ordinary knowledge as a supplement.
So he just followed the same path as his peers, studying step by step.
The only difference is that he doesn't need to go to school; his family will arrange teachers for him in advance.
But here...
Judging from Cervantes's words, does that mean they are also in charge of tutoring courses?
At the stronghold of the Transcendent?
Is it true or false?
