90. The Meaning of the Teacher
When everyone left the Kamurocho Police Station, it was already dusk, and Tokyo was once again dyed by the setting sun as a dazzling golden city.
Ozawa sat on a roadside bench, gulping down the canned grape juice from the vending machine, and thoughtfully placing the jar next to him.
"Are you alright, Dongyu?" Ozawa's mother asked with concern next to her.
The three of Kyushu Cheng also stood next to her, silently accompanying her.
Today may not be the best day for Ozawa, but it is definitely a special day.
"Actually... I still feel like I'm in a dream. Ozawa's voice was a little hoarse:
"Shin Adachi was in prison or something, I never dreamed that this would happen... Sure enough, the wicked have evil consequences, right? ”
"That's right, the wicked will be rewarded with evil, and the good will be rewarded with good." Kyushu Cheng clasped his arms and nodded in agreement:
"It's not a given, but I think it's the way it should be."
"Hmm..."Ozawa Fuyuzu held his cheeks, and his eyes unconsciously looked at the sun hiding behind the blue-purple clouds, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I haven't been out of the house for three years, and I haven't breathed fresh air in a long time."
"Winter grapefruit..."Ozawa's mother put her hand on her daughter's shoulder, "Mom can accompany you out for a walk in the future." ”
After resting for a while, Ozawa Fuyuzu looked at Makoto Kyushu, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you very much, Kyushu-san!" ”
"You should be more grateful to Senior Sister Yachuan, she has paid more credit." Makoto Kyushu modestly responded:
"Do you have any plans for the future?"
Ozawa Fuyuzu thought for a moment and asked, "How long do you think Shin Adachi will be imprisoned?" ”
"It depends on how much evidence the police can collect and how much the prosecution can convict him." Kyushu replied truthfully:
"Roughly estimated, he will definitely not be able to get out within ten years."
"Well... Looks like I can't waste any more time. Ozawa's hands trembled, and he was a little afraid:
"To be honest, I'm still scared of him. Even when I saw him in a detention center, I trembled with fear..."
She sighed lightly, and continued, "But everyone is running around for me, wouldn't it be ridiculous if I continued to fall?" ”
Kyushu Makoto bowed his head lightly and said with a sense of concern: "I think the best way to overcome fear is to obtain enough strength to fight against it. ”
"You're right... Only when Shin Adachi becomes strong before he is released from prison will I be able to live with peace of mind. Ozawa Fuyuzu smiled grimly.
She looked at her mother and said with determination:
"I decided. I'm going to adult school and... I also want to lose weight. ”
"Winter grapefruit... Are you telling the truth? Ozawa's mother covered her nose in surprise and looked at her in disbelief.
"Well, I'm serious." Ozawa Fuyuzu lowered her head a little guiltily: "I'm sorry Mom... In the past few years, it has been so much trouble for you. ”
"Nothing!" Ozawa's mother couldn't help but sob: "Fuyuzu can say such a thing... Mom was very happy to come! ”
"If you are willing to walk out of the room, my efforts will not be in vain." Makoto Kyushu also breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth rose soothingly.
"Well, things are finally going in a good direction." Yagawa Sakumi gently put his arm on his shoulder and teased: "You should be satisfied, right, the hero of justice~?" ”
Ozawa Fuyuzu looked at Teacher Etori again, stood up respectfully and bowed:
"Mr. Etori... I'm really sorry! ”
"Huh? Why apologize? Teacher Jiang Bird was stunned and responded in surprise.
"Mr. Etori used to take such good care of me and did so much for me..."Ozawa Fuyuzu lowered his head a little guiltily and muttered in a low voice:
"But I said goodbye three years ago, and I didn't even accept you to visit my home. The teacher must have been heartbroken for me at the time, right? ”
"It's okay, I understand Ozawa-san." Teacher Jiang Bird lowered his eyes and shook his head leisurely: "After all, after experiencing that kind of thing, you must have been extremely disappointed at that time, and you didn't want to contact the school anymore, right?" ”
"But it's great to see that Mr. Jiang Bird hasn't changed at all." Ozawa Fuyuzu breathed a sigh of relief: "You are really a good teacher~"
"I... Am I a good teacher? Teacher Jiang Bird was stunned for a moment.
"It's been three years, and you're still willing to take my business to heart." Ozawa Fuyuzu looked at the teacher's face and laughed innocently:
"People like you must have become a very popular and excellent teacher, I have always believed that you can do it!"
"I... No... I..."Teacher Jiang Bird looked away as if he was evading, and he didn't dare to look at this former student.
Her heart felt as if someone had pinched her, and the shame of her shamelessness wrapped around her throat like a vine, and even breathing began to become more and more difficult.
"I'm not the teacher you know anymore, please don't say that to me!"
Her soul seemed to want to shout so loudly, but the words were stuck in her throat.
"Teacher Jiang Bird, I will never forget your kindness for the rest of my life." Ozawa said sincerely, "So I won't continue to dwell on the past, I want to work hard to move forward into the future." ”
"That's... That's congratulations. Teacher Etori replied dryly.
Hearing this, Makoto Kyushu said half-jokingly: "In this way, Senior Sister Ozawa can be regarded as officially "graduating", right?" ”
"Graduation?" Ozawa tilted her head strangely.
"Overcome the shadow of high school and transform into a real adult..."Kyushu Makoto smiled slightly, thoughtfully:
"Although you don't have a diploma, the insights you have now are more precious than a diploma."
"Haha... That's right..."Ozawa Fuyuzu also laughed, and bowed to Teacher Etori again:
"Thank you teachers and everyone for everything they have done for me, I will definitely become excellent and strong in the future, so that everyone can be proud of me!"
"Hmm..."Mr. Etori responded with a numb expression, his thoughts already in a mess.
Makoto Kyushu couldn't stand it anymore, and patted Teacher Etori's thin shoulder hard, pushing her in front of Ozawa Fuyu.
"Hey, you're a teacher, aren't you?" Kyushu Makoto whispered: "When the student graduates, will you just say "um"? Don't you have anything else to say? ”
"Anything else you want to say...?" Teacher Jiang Bird was stunned.
What do I want to say to my students? Why should I become a teacher? … A series of questions came to her mind, and she always felt that she had forgotten something important.
Looking at Fuyuzu Ozawa with a happy face, she felt her brain itch, like a mist dissipated, and a green leaf burst out.
["Noriko, why do you want to be a teacher? ”】
["Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden? Shizuha, what do you think? ”】
["Of course, it's because of the high social status and stable job~ And being called "sir" every day feels like a lot of face. ”】
["My words... My dream has always been to nurture students with my heart, watch them grow up, and then proudly hug them and say "congratulations on graduation" to them~ It must be very romantic! ”】
Tears kept falling from the corners of Teacher Etori's eyes, and she subconsciously opened her arms and hugged Ozawa Fuyu, crying and saying:
"Congratulations on graduation, Ozawa-san! You are my pride all the time! From now on... I will always be proud of you! ”
"And... I'm sorry... I'm really sorry! The teacher failed to protect you... Whining... I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, I shouldn't blame the teacher... The teacher has worked hard. Ozawa Fuyuzu also hugged the teacher and comforted softly:
"In the future, there must be students who have a similar situation to me, please Teacher Jiang Bird must protect them and don't let them become the same as me again."
"I'm sorry... I will... I will definitely be a good teacher in the future..."Teacher Etori couldn't stop crying.
......
Ten minutes later, Ozawa's mother and daughter went home, and Sakufumi Yagawa also said that she was going to work at a coffee shop.
Teacher Etori sat on the bench and wiped the tears on his face with a tissue.
"Then it's time for me to go to work." Makoto Kyushu said a word to Mr. Etori and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, Kyushu-san." Teacher Jiang Bird suddenly stopped him.
"What's the matter?" Makoto Kyushu asked.
"I used to... Really a terrible teacher, right? Teacher Jiang Bird shook his head self-deprecatingly: "In the eyes of Kyushu classmates, I'm just like a scumbag, right?" ”
"That's right, a complete lack of moral teachers~" Kyushu Cheng was unforgiving: "If it weren't for the purpose of collecting some interest from you, it wouldn't matter if I sent you to prison, there was no value in sympathy." ”
"It's also... After all, I did such a terrible thing..."Being so insulted by his own students, Teacher Jiang Bird was relieved a lot:
"But I'm really happy today... I've always dreamed of being able to say this to my students. I was really happy that I finally realized it today, thanks to Kyushu-san! ”
"Oh."
"That's... Kyushu classmates..."Teacher Jiang Bird clutched his collar uneasily, and sighed in a low voice:
"I think you're right, a scumbag like me doesn't deserve to be a teacher at all..."
"The teacher's duty is to nurture the students, but I was shaken by a small thing, and instead became a sinner who hurt the students... I'm so undetermined, I might accidentally make the same mistake in the future. ”
Makoto Kyushu looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue.
"So I decided to follow the advice of my Kyushu classmates, quit my job after two years, and never set foot in the teaching profession again." Teacher Jiang Bird interlocked his ten fingers and said sadly:
"Those videos... Kyushu-san's ability to keep them all the time, even if they are spread out in the future, it doesn't matter, all of this is my own fault. ”
"Oh, it's good~" Kyushu Cheng nodded indifferently and said again:
"Let me ask you a question, Noriko Etori."
"What's the problem?" Teacher Jiang Bird looked stunned.
"Do you think that trash that makes mistakes will be trash for the rest of your life?" Makoto Kyushu looked up at the sky, squinting at the sunset.
"I... I don't know..."Mr. Etori shook his head in confusion.
"In my opinion, garbage also has the ability to turn waste into treasure. If you throw all the garbage into the non-recyclable area without saying anything, the caretaker of the garbage station will be angry. Kyushu Cheng stared at her, and his tone became meaningful:
"So I'm going to keep an eye on you for the next two years. Whether or not you are eligible to continue as a teacher depends on your own performance. ”
Teacher Jiang Bird's expression was solemn, and he lowered his head and was silent for a moment.
Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she beckoned lightly to Makoto Kyushu:
"Kyushu-san, can you come over a little bit?"
Makoto Kyushu walked up to Mr. Etori, who reached out and grabbed both of his wrists.
"A teacher like me who has committed an unpardonable sin really doesn't know what to do to get your forgiveness..."Teacher Etori guided the young man's hands and made him hold his throat tightly, as if he had put a shackle on her:
"So for the next two years, please command me as much as you like... I believe that Kyushu students will be able to use my abilities to protect the students and guide them to grow up and go out into society..."
"This is my request from the bottom of my heart! Please, Makoto Kyushu!! ”
Teacher Jiang Tori gently pressed his forehead to Kyushu Cheng's chest, and said a firm oath in an extremely remorseful tone:
"Please guide me... In any case, at least for the remaining two years, please let me be a real "good teacher"! ”
