Chapter 50, the main storyline begins.
On Wednesday morning, Shichen and Nangong Nayue went to the private Saikai Academy together.
Although the private Saikai Academy does not have dormitories, it does provide breakfast, but the students do not.
Shi Chen didn't want to get up early to make breakfast, and Nangong Nayue didn't know how either. Besides, she didn't want to go out to get takeout early either, so the two of them went to the school cafeteria early to eat breakfast.
Since we're going to come to school anyway, and the school cafeteria has a wide variety of food that's not bad either.
Although Nangong Nayue doesn't need to eat breakfast, she can still experience the feeling of eating, the feeling of being full, and the deliciousness of food... otherwise she wouldn't like drinking black tea.
Having to go to work early in the morning is a painful thing, but it's different when someone is with you.
Along the way, Shichen and Nangong Nayue walked side by side, their smiles never ceasing.
Nangong Nayue noticed his appearance, but instead of being disgusted and teleporting directly to the school, she ignored him and continued walking on her own.
Upon arriving at school, the two went to the cafeteria and separated to get their meals.
This wasn't the first time the two had eaten breakfast in the cafeteria, and they were quite familiar with the food, so they naturally chose the dishes that suited their tastes.
After getting her food, Shichen originally intended to go find Nanami Nayuki, but her attention was drawn to Sasaki Misaki, who was already eating.
"Toki-kun!" Sasaki Misaki, still dressed in a cheongsam, sat in a two-seater and waved with a smile.
Shichen glanced at Nangong Nayue, who was still picking out food, and walked towards Sasasaki Cape.
"Toki-kun, what a coincidence, you're here for breakfast too?"
"Mr. Sasa...this isn't the first time we've met." Shichen twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Oh dear, I almost forgot, would you like to sit together then, Jun?"
Shi Chen shook his head: "No, then Sister Yue came with me."
"It's okay, we can sit here." Sasaki Misaki said, carrying her plate to the four-person table next to her.
This time, Shi Chen did not refuse and sat down opposite her.
Then Nangong Nayue came over and sat down next to Shichen.
"What's that stupid dog doing here?"
"Natsuki-chan, are you saying I'm not allowed to show up in the cafeteria?" Sasaki Misaki pouted, protesting in dissatisfaction.
"Why aren't you eating at home? I remember you can cook, don't you?"
"It's pointless to cook for one person, so it's easier to come to school and have breakfast with Shi-kun."
"You're hopeless."
"What? Are you forbidding me from expressing my feelings? Is it really necessary to be so possessive?"
"Shut up! Eat your breakfast."
"Hmph~ Getting angry now, aren't you?"
I can't be bothered with you.
"..." Shi Chen ate his food silently to the side.
He had no interest in getting involved in their bickering; it wasn't the first time. In fact, their relationship was quite good.
After breakfast, Shichen parted ways with Nangong Nayue and went to the middle school office building with Sasaki Misaki. However, before parting, he was told not to have too much contact with Sasaki Misaki.
Really, does he seem like such a casual man?
The morning passed quickly. Shichen was in the office, chatting casually with Sasaki Misaki, when it was time for his class.
Physical education teachers have an easy job, and they basically don't have physical education classes in the morning.
When the last get out of class ended, Shichen arrived at the playground first, but the students only leisurely arrived just before class started.
He originally wanted to ask Xiaogucheng what was going on, but after searching around, he couldn't find him.
"Yase, where's Akatsuki?" Toki asked Yase Motoki.
"Teacher, Kojo has asked for leave," Yase Motoki replied.
"Ask for leave?"
"Yeah, saying he was worried about leaving his sister alone and wanted to go with her when he left Itogami Island, that guy is definitely a siscon!"
"We've left Itogami Island..." Tokishi ignored Yase Motoki's sarcastic remark and frowned.
Has it reached that point in time?
If he remembers correctly, it should be this incident that will awaken the Fourth Ancestor.
Then the Feast of Flames will begin.
It's a real shame that he can't participate in something so important, but there's nothing he can do about it now, unless he's willing to risk his life.
Is it really only possible to be a bystander?
That doesn't seem to be the case!
As Shi Chen pondered what would happen in the future, he suddenly thought of a possibility that could grant him magic power.
I wonder if that saintly young girl is still here at this time.
......
"Teacher Shi, aren't you going to play with us?"
"No, I don't want to sweat today."
"Oh well."
At the time when he declined Yase Motoki's invitation, he was sitting by the basketball court with Aiba Asagi, and of course, there were quite a few other girls around him.
Today, Asagi Aoba was different from the previous PE classes; she wore black-rimmed glasses, which obscured her pretty face.
"Aren't you guys going to play?" Shi Chen asked the other girls.
"We don't want to sweat either."
"Yeah, it's getting hotter and hotter."
Although they said that, they all surrounded Shi Chen, practically clinging to him.
She's still just a young girl, so why is she thinking about these kinds of things?
"You can't avoid sweating, I'll be teaching tennis next class," Shi Chen said with a smile.
"It's okay, sweating once in a while is fine."
"Exactly, you'll break a sweat even after just a couple of steps."
"It's not like you don't need to take a shower."
"You guys..." Shi Chen shook his head, speechless.
A physical education class passed quickly, and Shichen stayed with the girls watching Yase Motoki and the others play basketball by the basketball court.
However, he was basically the only one watching; the girls' attention was all on him.
The hourlight seemed to radiate light; her beautiful features, unique temperament, and smiling face captivated them.
At a young age, during the hormone-producing stage, in the budding of youth, it's the perfect time to be captivated by handsome men.
Moreover, Shichen is a physical education teacher, and this is Itogami Island, where humans and demons coexist. Having been exposed to a lot since childhood, they have become more open-minded.
It's only because this world values strength that these young girls would be so likely to encounter bad men.
Lan Yuqianci stood next to the girls for the entire class, unable to get close to Shichen to chat with him, since her persona in the class was that of a quiet and aloof girl.
The main reason was that she had been worried about her mother's condition.
However, even if she breaks her own persona, it's useless; she simply can't squeeze in.
After PE class, Asagi reluctantly went back with everyone, while Shichen went back to the office alone.
Misaki Sasaki had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Toki-kun, would you like to go have lunch together?"
"Okay," Shi Chen nodded in agreement.
"Great, let's go!"
"OK."
Shichen followed Sasaki Misaki to the cafeteria, and on the way, he sent a message to Nanami Nagatsuki, asking her to come and have lunch together.
However, she had something to do and was no longer at school.
At this time, the Fourth True Ancestor had not made any move, so Shichen was not worried about her.
And it's perfect timing; he can go somewhere to check things out after lunch, since it's his work hours now and it's not considered wandering around.
After having lunch with Sasaki Misaki, Tokimatsu declined her suggestion to stroll around the campus together and left the school alone, heading towards the back mountain of the school.
Behind the private Saikai Academy is a small hill with a small park in it, a secluded place surrounded by green trees.
As Shichen stepped onto the foot of the hill, his exceptional hearing detected a faint yet noisy cat meow.
The cat's meow was soft, and you could tell it was young, maybe only a few months old, and it was in a place like this, so it was probably a stray cat.
Suppressing his anticipation, he slowly made his way up the hill.
On the hilltop, a small park surrounded by green trees came into view. Through the park, Shichen saw a gray building that had been reduced to ruins.
Meow~
"Meow~"
The cat's meows became more distinct.
As time passed through the small park, they arrived at the ruined building and were drawn to the metal reliefs on the roof.
That was a symbol formed by two intertwined snakes—the messenger's staff.
This place was originally clearly a church.
"Um...who are you...?"
Just then, Shi Chen was drawn by a soft question and couldn't help but look over.
His eyes were filled with that head of silver hair as white as snow.
