"The compensation will definitely be paid!" Shota's father said apologetically. His gaze swept around, his tone gentle but his eyes cold and brooding. "I just wanted to ask who was the expert who subdued Shota. If he continues to be naughty in the future, how should I stop him?"
The teacher instinctively looked at the students, "We didn't know that after we arrived, Shota became like that!"
Yumi said gloatingly, "Maybe he's getting his comeuppance for doing too many bad things!"
Shota's mother's gaze was like needles, shooting towards Yumi.
Yumi made a face and hid behind Cheng Shuang.
Several classmates shook their heads blankly, "I was feeling too unwell to notice!"
"I don't know, I'm so tired right now, so very tired!"
"Me too!"
Everyone couldn't help but yawn. The teacher was both amused and exasperated. "It's good that you're tired. You've been swimming for so long, and it's already midnight. Go to sleep!"
She stood with her hands on her hips, feigning a fierce look, but when she turned to face Shota's parents, her expression truly darkened. "Please leave. My student needs to rest!"
Before Shota's father could say anything, Shota's mother spoke first, bowing respectfully, "We apologize, we weren't thoughtful enough. We'll come again tomorrow!"
The teachers immediately became dissatisfied, and their meaning was clear: they would not give up until they achieved their goal!
Just as the class teacher was about to explain that the students had a full schedule of activities and no time to spare, a sharp, distorted scream suddenly rang out from afar, the sound so tragic it seemed as if the student was on the verge of death.
"Shota!" Shota's mother shouted, shoving aside the teacher blocking the door, and hurriedly ran towards their hotel, with Shota's father following closely behind.
The shop owners apologized to the people inside, saying, "They've been heartbroken ever since Shota fell into the hot spring from the artificial hill and drowned a few years ago." The owner sighed, "They probably wanted to keep Shota by their side more than to restrain him."
The landlady stared blankly at the hotel across the street and said, "It sounds like Shota is in a lot of pain!"
"Teacher, I really want to go and see!" Yoshida said excitedly.
The teachers exchanged glances, and the class teacher immediately told him, "Don't say anything out of line!" They understood Yoshida's feelings, so the class teacher stayed behind to take care of the other students, while another fifth-grade teacher took Yoshida along.
Yumi tugged at Cheng Shuang and raised her hand to report, "Teacher, I want Yuko to come with me to the restroom!"
After traveling a great distance to plead, "Teacher, I will protect them!"
The teacher frowned, seeing Yumi clutching her stomach in pain, and sighed, "Go!" She paused, then added meaningfully, "Don't be naughty, okay? Go and come back quickly!"
"Teacher is the best!" Yumi said sweetly, pulling Cheng Shuang towards the door, while Qianli followed closely behind them.
The teacher watched the three children walk away and shook her head helplessly. It seemed the afternoon's events were not accidental; one of the children must be unusual. But for the students' safety, the teacher kept her mouth shut, refusing to say anything, since neither of the two hotel owners seemed like a morally upright person.
If there are any off-campus activities in the future, Shen Dushan will definitely vote against them!
When the three arrived at the hotel across the street, many guests were awakened. They gathered in the corridor, whispering among themselves about the landlady who was crying in despair and the owner who was holding something.
Taking advantage of her small stature, Yumi pulled Cheng Shuang through the crowd until they reached the front, where they could see the scene from beneath several long legs.
The boss held Shota, whose body had become so weak that it was almost invisible, and silently shed tears.
A light white mist rose from its body, and with each layer of mist evaporating, Shota's body became more ethereal.
Cheng Shuang looked up at the curtain of the hot spring pool not far away. There was already a pile of black ash under the curtain, indicating that the talisman had worked.
Fortunately, what was hidden behind the artificial hill was an ordinary amulet with R-country characteristics. Although it was also a yellow amulet, there was a clear difference, and the paper used for the amulet was different.
However, she should also be careful to avoid being 'taken out on'.
Having confirmed this, she dragged Yumi and Chisato back the way they came, but when the three of them reached the outer corridor, a figure blocked their way.
"Oh my, where did these cute little kids come from!" The short, stocky man with a lewd smile blocked the road as he rubbed his hands together. "Come here, let Mr. Tanaka see where you students are from! It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Cheng Shuang raised an eyebrow and looked closely. Clearly, this guy was the teacher who seemed strange mentioned by the man on the phone outside the window.
The short man in front of me originally had a rather amiable face, but perhaps it was a matter of his temperament, but his eyes and brows revealed too much that was disgusting.
Qianli immediately stepped forward, using his small stature to shield the two girls. "Hello, we should go back now, otherwise our teacher will come looking for us!"
Tanaka was still smiling. He reached out to ruffle Chisato's hair. "It's okay, it's okay. Tanaka-sensei will explain to your teacher! Do you want to go to Tanaka-sensei's place? It's a rare chance to meet, it's fate. Tanaka-sensei will treat you to snacks! Tanaka-sensei understands, everyone wants to stay up all night and have a good time since we've finally gotten out to play!"
Qianli was unwilling to let him touch her at all, and he turned his head away to avoid it.
Tanaka didn't mind. He waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tanaka is a teacher. He won't hurt you!"
Yumi peeked out, intending to be sarcastic, but remembering her teacher's instructions, she changed her tone, "The teacher is waiting for us! Please let us through!"
First impressions are really important. That phone call served as a wake-up call for Cheng Shuang. She continued Yumi's topic, saying, "If you keep blocking the way, I'll call a teacher. Our school's teachers are at the end of the corridor. They'll come right away if I call them!" She pointed to the corridor behind her, where Yoshida and the fifth-grade teacher were mingling in the crowd.
Tanaka's eyes flickered, and his slightly regretful gaze swept over the three children's faces. He had naturally seen a middle-aged man with a child among the onlookers. The only guests with children that big were from the hotel across the street, and he remembered that the guests were students and teachers from an elementary school.
His face darkened, and he rubbed his fingers together behind his back, still somewhat unwilling. Cheng Shuang stared at his movements, her eyes darkening, and the traces of a weapon were concealed under her long sleeves.
Children are very sensitive to good and evil, and Chisato and Yumi also became nervous.
Suddenly, a soft footstep sounded. "Kids who stay up so late won't grow tall!" A young man strolled over leisurely. He looked like he had just soaked in a hot spring, wearing a bathrobe, looking relaxed and casual. "Tanaka-sensei is so kind. Are you going to take them back to their hotel room? Okay, okay! I'm defeated by your kindness. Let's go together!"
Tanaka: What the hell are you talking to yourself about!
