When Tetsufumi Hirakawa arrived home, the brilliance of the setting sun had completely disappeared from the sky. Under the gray-blue sky, the lights gradually turn on, and the time changes from evening to night.

After a tiring day, I finally got home at this moment, and for Tetsufumi Hirakawa, the happiest time of the day was at the door of the house.

Full of anticipation and longing, I just want to hurry up and walk into the house to take a good rest. It can be said that the moment the key is inserted into the door lock, the spiritual enjoyment reaches its peak.

And just like that, he opened the door and walked in with great anticipation, and.

"Meow—"

In the dark silence of the night, such a cat bark suddenly sounded in his ears, and he was caught off guard, so that Tetsufumi Hirakawa shook his hand holding the doorknob.

His gaze hurriedly swept over synchronously, only to see two rays of light moving rapidly in mid-air towards him.

His body quickly tensed.

“……”

Then it relaxes in a blink of an eye.

He now has a cat in his home.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who recalled this fact, paused slightly awkwardly, then turned around and silently closed the door. To be honest, he was really scared the moment he first walked in the door.

With a sigh of relief, he turned on the light at the entrance.

Under the bright light, the white cat appeared, trotted towards him, and crouched on the steps of the entrance to watch him.

The posture is very similar to an emoji that Tetsufumi Hirakawa has seen: [Your little cutie suddenly appeared.gif]

“……”

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the cat helplessly several times in silence, and this warm welcome ceremony made him a little unresponsive.

After all, I've been living alone for a long time, and I've been living alone since I came to Tokyo in high school, so it's been 8 years, right? It's been a long time.

Now there is suddenly a small creature in the house, and it is normal not to react for a while.

What's more, humans instinctively relax the moment they open the door and return to the safety of their home - this trivia was read by Tetsufumi Hirakawa in a novel about a killer.

It's a very practical assassination trick.

It's just that it's not recommended to imitate, and you'll be caught.

But that doesn't mean this knowledge is useless, it can also be used for pranks - put a basin of water on the top of the door, flour, and so on.

Well.

A few seconds flashed through my mind.

There is no way, what is indispensable as a teacher is the ability to associate and express without stopping.

Okay, stop, back to the point –

To sum up, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was not frightened by any reason, but simply because of the inertia of living alone and the instinct of human beings to return home.

Having come to this conclusion, he glanced at the cat, which meowed softly at him.

It was not necessary to be angry with the cat, Tetsufumi Hirakawa changed his shoes, did not look at it, walked up to the entrance, and entered the living room.

Then turn on the lights in the living room, and there will be plenty of light in every corner of the room.

Compared with the darkness of the outside world, a warm and bright living room can provide a sense of physical satisfaction to human beings.

This is also an instinct in human genes. It comes from the yearning for light and the fear of darkness in primitive times.

At least Tetsufumi Hirakawa inherited this well, and he was very satisfied to throw away the briefcase in his hand and then throw himself on the sofa.

At this time, you should think about nothing, empty your brain, and experience the rare tranquility.

That's what Tetsufumi Hirakawa did.

However, after only a few seconds, before his thoughts could go far, he felt a sinking in his stomach,

Something warm sat on his stomach.

When I opened my eyes, I saw amber jewel-like eyes, vertical pupils, a cute white round head, and pointed ears.

"Meow~"

It's like a coquettish cat meow.

“……”

At least for now, his habit of living alone for eight years may need to be changed for a while.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa reached out and rubbed its head, and it rubbed it very intimately.

He is worthy of being a full-level cat affinity.

Also, has he been in Tokyo for 8 years?

Time is so fast.

After graduating from high school, he was recommended to enter the Faculty of Literature at Tokyo University with excellent grades, and after graduating four years ago - in fact, last year - he chose to become a teacher again because of the "inertia of the soul".

As for why he was only 22 years old, he was able to enter the private Moriya University to teach......

The first point is that he is the first in the written test. Second, he interviewed first.

Here's what the interview examiner at the time said about him:

"While I have the vitality of a young teacher, I also have the experience of being a teacher for many years."

"It can't be taken lightly just because of age."

The rating is surprisingly high.

Anyway, that's how it came in.

Recalling the interview scene at that time, the corners of Tetsufumi Hirakawa's mouth couldn't help but smile.

It's always nice to be recognized, and no matter how old you are, you can't avoid it – not to mention that he's really not that old.

In the previous life, it can be said that he died young, and he didn't have a girlfriend. Don't mention what the reason is - whether it is the cause of the former or the latter - it's a little sad.

Moreover, the mental age does not follow a simple superposition of 1+1=2, 30 years old in the previous life, 22 years old in this life, so it is completely wrong to calculate that the mental age is equal to 52 years old.

Mental age is inseparable from the body's internal hormones, external environment, and other factors.

The 22-year-old body, the hormone level of the 22-year-old, because he was a junior high school teacher in his last life, was always surrounded by naïve children, and his mentality was too young.

As for this life, it is normal to grow up. Therefore, Tetsufumi Hirakawa can say that in addition to his richer experience, his mental age is quite young.

Definitely not a 52-year-old middle-aged man.

Also, in fact, the number 30 years old is just an example, and the whole number is easier to calculate.

Actually, he ......

Died a little earlier.

Well......

“……”

“……”

"Meow!"

Immersed in sad memories, a cat's meow suddenly sounded in his ears, forcing Tetsufumi Hirakawa to withdraw from this memory.

"What's wrong?"

Watching the white cat in his arms impatiently break free from his petting. And, no matter how much he stretched out his hand afterwards, the white cat mercilessly slapped it away with its paws.

“…… Hmm, did it hurt you? ”

After thinking about it for a while, I came up with this guess. After all, in sad memories, the hand may ignore the weight.

"I'm sorry."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sincerely apologized to the cat, who felt so good, that he would be able to pet it again.

It's a pity that it was brutally refused.

It jumped off his body without mercy.

It's like a male customer who lifts his pants and turns his head away after enjoying a massage service.

Looking at the cat's distant back, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had such a bad association in his mind.
