I work as a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 20 The Culprit Is Shinohara Shiori

If you have to make a binary evaluation of "justice" or "evil" on a certain tool, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, or the universal values ​​of the public, may be able to come up with this answer:
The so-called tool has no distinction between good and evil, it has no consciousness, and there is no good or bad. The evaluation dimension of tools should start from two aspects: "easy to use" or "not easy to use".

Even as early as more than 2000 years ago, Mencius already demonstrated this truth in the irony of "I am not me, but soldiers are also".

A tool is just an extension of a person, and if one really wants to judge it for justice or evil, in the final analysis it is the person who uses it that is to be judged.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen firmly believed in this.

Regarding the system, I am afraid that anyone who knows something about it will have the feeling of "this system is too unscrupulous" the moment they hear how to use it.

This is the unavoidable result of human beings imposing their will on tools and then evaluating them.

However, after discarding all subjective additional concepts, the system is just a tool.

Whether it is serious or not depends on its users.No matter how strange the method of use is, the result is still in the hands of the user himself.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...

Hirakawa Tetsubun believes that he is serious.

When looking at your own heart, it is not a good thing to be too modest, and the correct attitude is to face it completely.

He thinks that the use of the system is not out of selfishness, and he is not ashamed of himself, as a teacher, or anyone else.

——If I have to say it, I'm really sorry for forcing Hisada-sensei to pour water... um.

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

The third time... Just now, he was trying to unlock 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 the right view on others, and this is the view he has always held.

So, after using the system, when facing this very problematic student, what Hirakawa Tetsufumi said was:
"Student Amamiya, as a teacher, I hope you can think more carefully about the method I just mentioned."

"is it okay?"

The voice fell, the wind passed through the forest, and some mysterious power dissipated.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi saw:

Amamiya Ye, who was avoiding problems, indulged in her own world, and stared at the cat, gradually dissipated the blankness in her eyes and regained her brilliance.

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

"Think seriously...?"

"Well, in the time to come, I hope that Amamiya will seriously consider the method proposed by the teacher. Of course, the initiative is in your own hands, please consider it carefully."

"..."

"..."

"Ah."

After a long silence, he nodded slightly.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled.

Even if you plug your ears, pretend you can't hear, or close your heart...it's all useless.With the blessing of the system, language can reach the depths of the heart and show its due power.

This is the real usage of the system.Those rambling reveries and late-night shows would never happen to a teacher like him.

"As for these cats..." Although he was delighted with the effectiveness of the system, Tetsufumi Hirakawa certainly would not forget the most important issue at present.

He turned to look at the meowing cat in the box, and thought for a while.

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

"……Thank you, teacher."

"You're welcome. Now... go back to school first?"

"Ah."

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

"..."

Yu Gongye, who had been smiling because he got a solution for the time being, changed his expression immediately after hearing this reprimand.

The smile disappeared, with apology and a little grievance.

"Sorry...Mr. Hirakawa...for causing you trouble again."

bowed.

But seeing this scene, Hirakawa Tetsuwen just frowned.No, of course there was no complaint about the polite apology...he just remembered the threat.

Almost the same situation...why did you get a threat the first time, but a sincere apology the last two times?
strangeness.

"Teacher Hirakawa?"

After getting up, Yu Gongye asked him who was in a daze.

Come back to your senses.

"That... Amamiya-student."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Teacher, please ask."

"Hmm..." Hirakawa Zhewen looked into Yu Gongye's eyes, trying to see something, "You can tell me, why did you say...that sentence to me in the office before?"

It's not complete, but it's not like I'm forgetting about it so quickly, right?

Of course not.

After hearing his question, Yu Gongye's expression froze quickly.She quietly turned her face away, not daring to look at him, and instead stared at the weeds beside her.

"... Teacher, I'm sorry."

Apologize like that.

"Well... I'm not bringing this up to criticize. Just curious why."

I'm really curious, it's not important to apologize or anything, I just want to know the answer.

"..."

"..."

But all he got after saying that was silence.The girl seemed embarrassed to say the answer?
Hirakawa Zhewen was very patient, waiting quietly.

After the four cats in the box meowed a total of six times - about 1 minute - Yu Gongye finally plucked up the courage to answer.

"I did this... because..."

Hemming and hawing, intermittently, but Hirakawa Tetsufu still heard the answer from her soft answer.

"Because... she's handsome."

She said so.

"..."

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

Ok……

Very handsome?
why?
Did you hear it wrong?

Where is he handsome?
I don't understand.

Facing him with a puzzled look, Yu Gongye continued to explain embarrassingly.

"Hmm... how should I put it... As a student, facing a teacher who symbolizes power, saying 'Teacher, if you meddle in your own business, you will lose your job', such a line is really cool!"

"..."

It can be seen that in Yu Gongye's eyes, doing so is really handsome.

Because at the end of her speech, her expression became slightly agitated, as if she had returned to that noon again, when she threatened the teacher handsomely as a student in the office.

Does it symbolize resistance to power?
Having said that, I can barely understand it.

Students represent the disadvantaged, and teachers represent the strong. As a student, if you say this to the teacher, 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 mind your own business."

Really handsome, ignoring all possible intellectual factors.

Ok……

Very tactful complaint.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi sighed rather helplessly.

"So, why did the idea of ​​doing this come up?"

"Because at the end of last semester, when I went to the office, I heard that Shinohara-san did just that. It's really cool."

"..."

Oh, so the culprit is Shiori Shinohara.This young lady really got him into trouble.

It also led to Yu Gongye's idea of ​​imitating crimes.

This kind of is really...it is powerless to complain.

As for Yu Gongye... I don't know what to say.Handsome... What kind of person would think that he is so handsome?

Even if he thought he was handsome, he actually had the idea of ​​wanting to imitate it.And he didn't explain it afterwards, leaving him to guess for a long time.

She was indeed a problem girl, that was absolutely true.

Looking at the girl who was embarrassed and apologetic at the moment, Hirakawa Zhewen really had a lot of things to say in his mind.

Then, at a certain moment, he suddenly thought of something like a flash of inspiration:
He remembered the contract he had just signed with Yu Gongye.

"Sign the contract"

"handsome"

Such keywords were linked together by Tetsuwen Hirakawa.

He thought of a very famous anime.
