My dear wife, I still love you more.

"Miss Yukinoshita, you—"

"Don't worry, I won't say anything. I won't tell anyone. After all, this kind of thing will cause trouble if it gets out. Although I'm quite curious about what would happen if they knew the truth, I think it's better not to make things too complicated for Shizue-nee." Yukinoshita Haruno waved her hand and walked away without looking back.

Hasegawa watched Yukinoshita Haruno's retreating figure, feeling both amused and exasperated. So, after all this time, Yukinoshita Haruno had simply come to tease him and have some fun? If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have worried so much before.

However, it's best to avoid women like that if possible. They're too troublesome. Thinking about it, no matter what, she seems better than Mrs. Bin, in every way.

Machida Sonoko watched Yukinoshita Haruno's departing figure, then looked at Hasegawa, and couldn't help but feel that there was something strange between the two of them.

In the game "Doomsday Red Alert System," the protagonist is reborn in Japan with a younger sister named Sora. He initially thought he could embark on the path of a plagiarist and live a happy life with his girlfriend, Asada Shino.

But unexpectedly, after waking up in the hospital next to Qiong's bed, the world had changed.

Half of the world's population has been infected with germs and turned into all sorts of monsters.

Zombies, Lickers, Shadow Barbie, Corrupted Tyrant, Broken-winged Evil Spirits, and more.

While I was asleep, a system called "Doomsday Red Alert" was loaded.

In order to protect what I want to protect in this broken world, I wield the system, build a base, become the commander of the Allied forces, and offer up guns and cannons for the world!

P.S.: This was written because I had a sudden inspiration and couldn't find any novels with Shina as the main character.

I love Sinon! I'll definitely be in bed with Sinon within 100 chapters!

Chapter 50 Shizuka Hiratsuka's Professional Ethics

The "feast" that Machida Sonoko mentioned was actually quite good. While it wasn't particularly expensive, it wasn't cheap either; an average family might not eat it even once every month or two.

They also drink alcohol while eating.

However, Hasegawa doesn't drink alcohol at all. He doesn't particularly like the spiciness of alcohol, and more importantly, he died of cancer in his previous life. Although drinking and cancer aren't closely related, Hasegawa successfully quit drinking and smoking after being transported to another world.

After all, almost everyone knows that tobacco and alcohol are not good things, but once you get hooked, it's impossible to quit. Now that you have a chance to start over, you probably won't touch those two things again.

On one hand, Hasegawa himself didn't want to drink, and on the other hand, Hasegawa wasn't old enough to drink, so in the end, although Machida Sonoko and the others were disappointed, they were unable to get Hasegawa to drink.

After finishing his meal, Hasegawa dusted himself off and went inside. As for Machida Sonoko's invitation for Hasegawa to go singing, he declined.

After all, there were a lot of people, and many of them had drunk quite a bit and were already a little tipsy. If they went to sing karaoke and drank some more while singing, the one who would suffer in the end would probably be Hasegawa, who doesn't drink at all.

Hasegawa refused to go singing, and since the main character wasn't going, it wouldn't be appropriate for the others to go. So, in the end, Machida Sonoko and the others had to regretfully end their activities for the day. After all, it was just today; they had to go back to work tomorrow. As for overtime? That was pretty normal for them. Otherwise, why would they be called "corporate slaves"?

Hasegawa took the train home, but before he even got home, his phone vibrated.

Hasegawa took out his phone, saw the caller ID, and frowned slightly.

"Hiratsuka-sensei? What can I do for you? Why are you calling me at this hour? Are your parents inviting me to your house again? But I must make it clear beforehand, if that's the kind of request you're making, please allow me to decline." Hasegawa preemptively spoke without any politeness after the call connected.

Hasegawa hadn't forgotten that Yukinoshita Haruno had mentioned that Hiratsuka Shizuka's mother had called her mother to invite him over for the weekend.

"You—" Hiratsuka Shizuka was speechless at Hasegawa's words: "Hmph, don't worry, I won't tell you such things. Where are you now? Come out and have a drink with me when you have time."

"Mr. Hiratsuka, I'm sorry, but I'm not old enough to drink yet, so let's skip it." Hasegawa's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a smile. Sure enough, he knew his words had worked.

"Of course I know you're young, you're still a kid. I asked you to come drink with me, not for you to drink, I'm the one who drinks. You're just keeping me company." Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice was a little embarrassed and angry.

"I'm sorry, Professor Hiratsuka, but please allow me to refuse such a request. To be honest, I don't really like women who drink. They reek of alcohol and might even cause trouble when they're drunk. It's very troublesome," Hasegawa said bluntly.

"I don't care if you like women who drink or not. Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"So, as you said, I'm nobody to you, and you shouldn't come to me for drinks."

"You—you bastard, forget it, I'm not drinking anymore, but I need to talk to you right now, so come over here." Hiratsuka Shizuka said angrily on the other end of the phone.

"Did you need something from me?"

"That's right, it's about that girl, Haruno. She called me today and said that you told her you're a high school student? What are you thinking? Why do you have to go around telling everyone this kind of thing? And you even told Haruno." Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice was a little annoyed.

"Um, Hiratsuka-sensei, actually, it wasn't me who told her; she just discovered the truth." Hasegawa felt a bit of a headache. Sure enough, that Yukinoshita Haruno—he knew she wouldn't let it go so easily.

"Huh? She found out the truth? She had nothing better to do than come to you and find out the truth? Don't talk nonsense. That girl may have a bad temper, but even on weekends, she usually works overtime at the company. How could she possibly have time to investigate something like this?" Hiratsuka Shizuka knew how busy Yukinoshita Haruno was, so she was a little suspicious. She thought that Hasegawa might be trying to force her way out, which was why he specifically told Yukinoshita Haruno.

The purpose of this pressure was simply to force her to confess to her parents, or to reveal that she had broken up with Hasegawa.

"It may sound like a coincidence, but it really is a coincidence—"

"You get over here right now, or you're dead on Monday!!!" Hiratsuka Shizuka threatened Hasegawa.

"Isn't it wrong for a teacher to threaten a student?"

"If you behave, would I threaten you? Okay, I'm at XX Izakaya, you better get over here right now." *Click*. Hiratsuka Shizuka hung up the phone.

Hasegawa couldn't help but scratch his head. Sure enough, this was a problem. If he had known, he shouldn't have given Hiratsuka Shizuka such a bad idea in the first place. In the end, he got himself into a lot of trouble.

Although Hasegawa wasn't particularly bothered by Hiratsuka Shizuka's threat that he'd die if he didn't go—after all, Hiratsuka Shizuka was a teacher, but what could she do? She wasn't going to kill anyone, was she? So, Hasegawa went anyway.

After all, it's better to avoid trouble. In schools, teachers are the most powerful, and if you make a teacher unhappy, it's actually quite easy for them to make things difficult for you.

Before even getting home, Hasegawa made a sharp turn and headed straight for the izakaya that Hiratsuka Shizuka had mentioned.

When Hasegawa arrived at the izakaya, Hiratsuka Shizuka was already sitting there. However, to Hasegawa's surprise, there was no alcohol in front of Hiratsuka Shizuka.

The simple peanuts and edamame were clearly meant to be snacks with alcohol, but there was no alcohol, and Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't smell of alcohol either.

Hasegawa was genuinely surprised, given Hiratsuka Shizuka's personality; it was truly unusual for her not to drink at this time.

"What are you looking at?" Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed Hasegawa's curious and surprised eyes and couldn't help but frown.

"I was just a little surprised that you, Hiratsuka-sensei, didn't drink," Hasegawa said honestly.

"Tch, no matter what, I'm still a teacher, and I have basic professional ethics. How could I possibly drink in front of my students?" Hiratsuka Shizuka said shamelessly.

"hehe."

Chapter 51 A Cold Feel in My Chest (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

"Huh? What are you laughing at?" Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned as she listened to Hasegawa's sarcastic chuckle.

"No, it's nothing. I just think that you, Hiratsuka-sensei, are truly an exceptionally qualified teacher."

Hiratsuka Shizuka blushed slightly, but forced a smile and said, "Of course. Of course I'm a qualified teacher, you don't need to tell me that."

"hehe."

"You bastard, not again! Do you want to taste my fist?" Hiratsuka Shizuka was a little embarrassed and angry.

"Okay, okay. I won't laugh anymore. So, Hiratsuka-sensei, tell me, why did you call me here?" Hasegawa raised his hands in surrender.

"I originally came to see you to have a drink, but now that we're not drinking, I don't know what to do next?" Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her head, looking troubled.

Hasegawa looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka speechlessly. She said she was a qualified teacher, but now she's exposed her ignorance.

"Well, let's eat together then." Hiratsuka Shizuka scratched her hair haphazardly.

"Um, I've already eaten."

"Huh? You've already eaten? So early?" Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but frown again; everything seemed to be going well for her today.

"Yes, I had something to do today, so I ate out with some people. Hmm, a big meal," Hasegawa said with a smile.

"You, dressed so flashy, wearing glasses, and even having eaten a fancy meal. You wouldn't, you wouldn't have gone on a blind date, would you?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hasegawa suspiciously.

"Blind date? Hiratsuka-sensei, do you think I'm your age? I'm just a high school student—" Before she could finish speaking, Hiratsuka Shizuka's fist grazed Hasegawa's cheek.

"You bastard, don't you know that you can't just casually mention a woman's age?" A glint of fire flashed in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault." Hasegawa apologized very sincerely, after all, age really seemed to be a fatal weakness for Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Hmph. Tell me, what happened? What were you doing dressed so flashy? And Haruno, how did you run into that girl?" Hiratsuka Shizuka snorted and then questioned her in an interrogative manner.

"Hey, can you not use that tone? I'm not a criminal. Actually, I didn't want to either, it's just too coincidental." Hasegawa couldn't help but shake his head.

"Stop shaking your head, just tell me what happened." Hiratsuka Shizuka interrupted Hasegawa impatiently.

"Actually, with the help of the publisher, I held my first book signing event today."

"Oh my? You held a book signing? Your novel? I heard Aki Tomoya talking to you about writing novels before. Could it be that you're actually writing a novel? And it's been published?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hasegawa in surprise.

"Of course, and they just held a book signing event." Hasegawa shrugged.

"You're surprisingly talented. What novels do you write?" Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but ask.

"Tokyo Ghoul".

"What?" Hiratsuka Shizuka jumped to her feet, immediately attracting the attention of many people around her.

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, Hiratsuka-sensei," Hasegawa said quickly.

"I just didn't expect that you wrote Tokyo Ghoul. Hmm, but the author's name for Tokyo Ghoul is Hasegawa. So you used your surname as a pen name." Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly realized.

"That's right, but judging from your expression, Professor Hiratsuka, you seem to know about this book?"

"Of course I know. I even bought one, but I didn't expect it to be written by you. If I had known, I wouldn't have bought it; I would have just asked you for it directly," Hiratsuka Shizuka said. Of course, she was just saying that; the price of a novel was nothing to her.

"I never expected that Hiratsuka-sensei would be one of my readers." Hasegawa was quite happy, as he encountered an acquaintance who turned out to be one of his readers.

"Well, because Tokyo Ghoul is indeed very well written. I just didn't expect there would be a book signing today. Damn it, I didn't notice this news, otherwise I would definitely have gone to the signing." Hiratsuka Shizuka said with a regretful expression.

"Although I'm happy to hear Hiratsuka-sensei say that, I'm still glad you didn't attend the book signing, because the bookstore where I held the signing is actually right across from the Yukinoshita Group building."

"Huh? So, the reason you were discovered is because your autograph session was held across from the Yukinoshita Group building?" Hiratsuka Shizuka looked completely bewildered.

“That’s right, so unfortunately, she found out.” Hasegawa shrugged.

"Oh, I see. That's really unlucky. But you, didn't you pay attention to the surrounding environment before holding a book signing?" Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but grit her teeth and question.

“Who would pay attention to that kind of thing? But, Hiratsuka-sensei, I think you should tell your parents about this as soon as possible and resolve the issue quickly. Tokyo isn't that small, but it's not that big either. You ran into Yukinoshita Haruno today, and you might run into someone else tomorrow. Oh, right, I also ran into Yukinoshita Yukino at school earlier. She seems to be a little suspicious about something too.” Hasegawa advised Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"You bastard, you make it sound so easy, like you can solve everything just by talking! Have you ever thought about my situation? Have you ever considered my feelings? You bastard—" Hiratsuka Shizuka exploded the moment Hasegawa asked her to be honest with her parents.

He lunged forward, grabbed Hasegawa's clothes with both hands, and roared as he pulled hard.

"What do you mean by feeling? Isn't this all your own doing? It's always better to be honest sooner rather than later. Also, please let go, Hiratsuka-sensei. I think the quality of this dress might not be very good. Don't tear it." Hasegawa said worriedly, looking at Hiratsuka Shizuka's hands gripping so tightly.

"You bastard, I'm about to die and you're still worried about your clothes? You bastard, do you have any conscience at all? Clothes, clothes, you can just die!" Hiratsuka Shizuka was even angrier.

After all, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt that her situation was very dangerous, and she could die at any time. However, Hasegawa spoke so casually that it was almost inhuman. He even asked about her clothes. Was a piece of clothing more important than her life and death as his teacher?

The angrier she got, the harder Hiratsuka Shizuka pulled with her hands, and then she yanked hard.
