Chapter 20: The culprit is Shiori Shinohara

If we have to make a binary evaluation of "good" or "evil" of a certain tool, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, or the universal value of the public, I am afraid that this answer can be obtained:

The so-called tool is not good or evil, it has no consciousness, there is no good or bad, the evaluation dimension of the tool should be from the "easy to use" or "not easy to use" two aspects.

Even more than 2,000 years ago, Mencius's irony of "If it is not me, the soldier is also", this truth has been revealed.

Tools are just an extension of people, and if you really want to judge them for justice or evil, in fact, it is the people who use them.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is convinced of this.

As for the system, I am afraid that anyone who knows anything about it will have the feeling of "this system is too inappropriate" the moment they hear how to use it.

This is the inevitable result of human beings putting their will on tools and then evaluating it.

However, when all subjective attachments are truly abandoned, the system is merely a tool.

Whether it is serious or not, it is its users who are evaluated. No matter how strange the way to use it, the result is still in the hands of the user. If the user is not serious, the tool will become an "evil tool" for him to satisfy his desires, but if the user is serious......

Tetsufumi Hirakawa believes that he is serious.

When looking at one's own heart, it is not a good thing to be too modest, and it is the right attitude to face it completely.

He believes that his use of the system is not selfish, and he is not worthy of himself, of his status as a teacher, and of no one else.

- If I have to say it, I'm really sorry to force Mr. Kuda to pour water...... Well.

In the time since he got the system, he has only used it three times: the first time as an experiment, and the second time as a bridge between Shiori Shinohara and her mother.

Third ...... Just now, he was trying to unravel the closed heart of a certain girl.

But he doesn't intend to rely entirely on the system.

It's not a good thing to impose what you think is right on others, and that's what he's always held.

So, after using the system, when facing this very problematic student, Tetsufumi Hirakawa said:

"Amamiya-san, as a teacher, I hope you can think more carefully and seriously about the method I just said."

"Is that okay?"

The words fell, the wind passed through the treetops, and some mysterious power dissipated.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa saw:

Amamiya Night, who was originally running away from problems, indulging in his own world, and staring at cats, gradually dissipated the blankness in his eyes and regained his brilliance.

At the same time, the girl turned her face and looked at him.

"Think hard...... Is it? ”

"Well, in the future, I hope Amamiya-san can seriously consider the method proposed by the teacher. Of course, the initiative is in your own hands, please consider it carefully. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Hmm."

After a long silence, he nodded slightly.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled.

Even if you plug your ears, pretend you can't hear, and close yourself off...... It didn't work. With the blessing of the system, language can reach the depths of the heart and show its due power.

That's how the system is really used. Those messy reverie and late-night shows will never appear in him as a teacher.

"As for these cats...... Although he is pleased with the results of the system, Tetsufumi Hirakawa certainly does not forget the most important issues at present.

He turned to look at the meowing cat in the box and thought about it.

"I can take care of them for you before you have an answer. Of course, as soon as possible. I don't have much energy to take care of four cats at the same time. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thank you, teacher. ”

"You're welcome. So now...... Let's go back to school first, right? ”

"Hmm."

"After all, you've been absent from school all morning, Amamiya-san."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Amamiya Night, who was inevitably smiling because he had been temporarily resolved, immediately changed his expression after hearing this reprimand.

The smile was gone, with apologies and a little grievance.

"Sorry...... Mr. Hirakawa...... I'm sorry for your trouble again. ”

Bowed.

However, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who saw this scene, only frowned. No, there is certainly no resentment about a polite apology...... He just suddenly remembered the threat.

It's pretty much the same situation...... Why did you get a threat the first time and a sincere apology the last two times?

Odd.

"Hirakawa-sensei?"

After getting up, Amamiya asked him in a daze.

Come back to your senses.

"That...... Amamiya-san. ”

"Huh? What's wrong? ”

"May I ask you a question?"

"Teacher, may I ask?"

"Hmm......" Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked into Amamiyaya's eyes, trying to see something in them, "Can you tell me why you said to me when I was in the office before...... What about the sentence? ”

It's not complete, but it's not so quick to forget about it, right?

Of course not.

After hearing his question, Amamiya's expression quickly froze. She quietly turned her face, not daring to look at him, instead staring at the weeds next to her.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sorry, teacher. ”

Apologized.

"Hmm...... I'm not mentioning this to accuse. Just curious why. ”

I'm really curious, it doesn't matter what I apologize or whatever, I just want to know the answer.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

But all that comes after saying this is silence. The girl doesn't seem to be too embarrassed to say the answer?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was very patient and waited quietly.

By the time the four cats in the box had barked six timesβ€”about a minuteβ€”Amamiya finally mustered up the courage to answer.

"Do this...... Be...... Because ......"

It's stumbling, intermittent, but Tetsufumi Hirakawa heard the answer from her soft answer.

"Because...... Very handsome. ”

That's what she said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

However, after hearing such an answer, Tetsufumi Hirakawa once wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Well......

Very handsome?

Why?

Did you hear it wrong?

Where's the handsomeness?

I don't understand.

And in the face of him with a confused look, Amamiya Ye continued to explain embarrassedly.

"Hmm...... What do you say...... As a student, it is really handsome to say "Teacher, if you meddle too much, you will lose your job" in front of a teacher who symbolizes power! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

It can be seen that in the eyes of Amamiya Night, this is really handsome.

Because by the end of her speech, her expression had become slightly excited, as if she had returned to that noon, when she was very handsome in the office and threatened the teacher as a student.

Is it a symbol of rebellion against power?

After saying this, I can barely understand a little.

Students represent weakness, teachers represent strength, as a student to the teacher to say this kind of thing, the analogy is probably ......

He rushed into the principal's office, pointed at the principal, and said, "Principal, if you don't want to lose this position, don't meddle in your business." ”

If you ignore all the possible intelligence factors, it's really handsome.

Well......

It's a very euphemistic complaint.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed rather helplessly.

"So, why did you have the idea to do that?"

"Because at the end of last semester, when I went to the office, I heard that Shinohara-san did just that, and it was really handsome."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Oh, so the culprit is Shiori Shinohara. This eldest lady really got him in trouble.

It also led to the idea of imitating the crime in Amamiya.

This is really ...... It's powerless to complain.

As for Amamiya Night...... I also don't know what to say. Handsome...... What kind of person would think it's handsome?

I think it's handsome, but I actually have the idea of wanting to imitate. And he didn't explain afterwards, so he guessed by himself for a long time.

She's a problem girl, that's absolutely right.

Looking at the girl who was embarrassed to show her apology at the moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa really had a lot of things to say in his mind.

Then, at a certain moment, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration for something:

He remembered the contract he had just signed with Amamiyaya.

"Sign the contract"

"Handsome"

Such keywords are linked together by Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

He thought of a very famous anime.
