In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Although many thoughts flashed through her mind, Xia Mu still pointed to the photo on her phone and said:

"Ms. Mai, please take a closer look. Doesn't the 'woman' in this photo look like a red plastic bag? Is she flying because she's being blown by the wind?"

"And this hair?"

"Hmm, is it possible that a black plastic bag was tied to it, and it just so happened to be windy, which is why it looks so similar..."

Mai examined the photo suspiciously, and the more she looked, the more she felt that what Xia Mu said seemed to make sense, especially the very blurry image quality, which seemed more like an attempt to cover up the truth.

She immediately wiped away tears: "No way, this is evidence we finally found! I'll never believe this stuff again, sob sob..."

Suddenly, Natsuki took Mai's hand and looked into her eyes, making Mai's face gradually turn red, and even her earlobes unconsciously turned slightly red.

"Ms. Xia Mu, we're colleagues, you can't do this..."

"Ms. Mai, please believe in science. There are no such things as ghosts in this world!"

"Huh?"

Mai was stunned for a moment. Looking at Xia Mu's serious expression, she realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something. Her face suddenly flushed red, and she fell backward. If Xia Mu hadn't caught her in time, she probably would have hit the floor.

However, when Mai regained consciousness and saw the two in such an ambiguous position, a puff of white smoke suddenly appeared above her head.

boom!

"Ms. Natsuki, I've come to hand in my homework!"

As someone arrived, Mai quickly broke free from Natsuki's embrace, covering her face as she ran outside, yelling, "How embarrassing!!!"

"..."

Natsuki withdrew his hand, looked at Sayuri, and asked with a surprised expression, "What are you doing here?"

He thought that after what happened last night, neither Sayuri nor Mikiko would be able to recover in a short time.

But as Sayuri walked over, lightly tossing her twin ponytails, glimmers of light fell from the tips of her hair, and the occasional smile in her eyes, she seemed to be in a good mood.

When she arrived, she suddenly put her hands on her hips, looking angry, and said, "Teacher Xia Mu clearly told me to come and hand in my homework, how could you..."

As she spoke, her gaze swept over the mountain of love letters piled on the table, and she couldn't help but spit in her heart, "How dare they steal my future husband, they have no shame!"

"Ok?"

Xia Mu frowned: "You?"

Sayuri muttered softly, "Anyway, we're both future brides, what's there to mind... um..."

Xia Mu immediately raised his hand to cover her mouth, to prevent her from saying anything shocking again!

"You'd better watch out, this is a school. If those two sentences you just said are heard, I won't be able to continue being a teacher."

Little did Sayuri know that when Natsuki's fingers touched her lips, Sayuri's heart trembled. The words she wanted to say were swallowed back by his warm hand, and she obediently nodded.

Xia Mu assumed she had taken his words to heart. After withdrawing his hand, he habitually swept the love letters on the table into the trash bag and asked, "How is Mrs. Mikiko? Is she alright?"

"Yes, Mom has woken up, but she seems to have forgotten what happened last night."

"It's better to forget it."

Xia Mu nodded. The fewer people who knew his secrets, the less trouble he would face. As long as both of them were alright, that would be the best outcome.

As if remembering something, he paused, looked at Sayuri, and asked, "And what about you?"

"I...I'm fine...I'm alright..."

Sayuri shook her head repeatedly, but felt a warmth in her heart once again, as if Natsuki-sensei was caring for her!

Furthermore, the sunlight streaming in through the window at that moment, falling on the two of them, made the scene even more beautiful.

As expected, Teacher Xia Mu and I are a perfect match!

As it turned out, Sayuri's fantasy didn't last long. Natsuki tapped her forehead and said, "So, you're here to hand in your homework, right?"

"Hmph, what an unromantic man!"

"Uh……"

……

Chapter 10 White Island

"...Goodbye, teacher!"

Hearing the students' voices in unison, Xia Mu nodded and walked out of the classroom. Thinking that today's classes were over, a relaxed smile immediately appeared on his originally tired face.

"What should we eat later? I heard the dorayaki at the school street is pretty good, and that newly opened sushi restaurant seems to have decent reviews lately. It's so hard to choose..."

So much has happened these past few days that it has disrupted his life, leaving Xia Mu unable to relax properly for quite some time.

Now that he has the time, he naturally wants to try the food he's been longing for.

Little did he know, a girl with pigtails suddenly peeked out from behind him.

As she weaved through the crowd, she kept an eye on Xia Mu's back, her eyes gleaming with an air of unwavering confidence.

"Teacher Xia Mu, I will never give up, just you wait and see!"

Thinking about certain scenes in the future, Sayuri's face was full of excitement. The male students next to her couldn't help but move a little distance away, and their gazes towards her were unconsciously filled with pity.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a warrior charging for love?"

As soon as Sayuri finished speaking, Natsuki suddenly turned around. Sayuri quickly hid behind the other female student. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that Natsuki hadn't noticed her.

"Is it just my imagination?"

On the other side, Natsuki was muttering to himself in confusion.

Although the holy light he wields can restrain ghosts to some extent, that is only when the holy light is used.

Normally, if he doesn't use the power of the necklace, he's just an ordinary person. Plus, he's very popular at the academy, so even if he senses strange gazes, he quickly puts them out of his mind.

Soon, Xia Mu returned to his office, humming a song that didn't exist in this world as he tidied up his desk.

The job of a school counselor is so easy. Although there are certain course targets, there is not much pressure to prepare lessons or take exams. Once the class is over, you can leave early.

Unlike Ms. Mai next to her, who was still grading homework and muttering a student's name under her breath, her face full of disappointment.

After finishing tidying up, Xia Mu smiled and greeted Mai, "Ms. Mai, I'll be leaving now. Thank you for your hard work today!"

"Okay, okay..."

As Mai was speaking, she looked up and saw Natsuki waving and smiling at her.

Even though it was almost dusk, Mai seemed to see the sunrise at dawn, and the furrowed brows on her face relaxed at that moment.

The next second, she suddenly remembered something, her cheeks flushed red in an instant, and as she watched Xia Mu turn to leave, Mai simply raised her hand blankly and said in a voice only she could hear:

"Goodbye... goodbye..."

Natsuki was unaware that Mai seemed to have developed some strange thoughts about her because of what happened during the day.

However, even if he knew the reason, he would just laugh it off, because nothing could stop his desire to explore delicious food!

"...I've decided, I'll go to that dorayaki shop!"

As Xia Mu walked out of the school gate, she headed straight for the shop she remembered. But just as she reached a corner, she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from somewhere.

boom!

"...Let...let me go!"

"Hahaha, are you kidding me? As the strongest man in this area, I won't let you off so easily once I've set my sights on you!"

"Uh……"

Xia Mu continued walking forward.

This kind of thing seems to be a "trend" in Tokyo. Even at the academy, he often heard similar stories from other teachers.

Having heard so much about it, Xia Mu had become somewhat numb. As long as his own safety wasn't involved, he normally didn't intend to get involved.

However, when he glanced over casually and saw a girl being grabbed and slammed against the wall by a burly man, the familiar face made Xia Mu stop in his tracks.

"It was her..."

……

"...Big brother, this guy looks skinny, but he seems to have a pretty good physique. I should let him have a taste later!"

"No problem, I'm always very generous, hahaha..."

"Thank you, brother!"

Inside the alley, a white-haired girl in a school uniform was being surrounded by three adult men who looked like thugs.

The difference in strength and size between the two was too great. Even though the girl, whose neck was being grabbed, struggled desperately, she was unable to break free from the other's grasp.

Instead, her movements caused her fair skin to be faintly visible under her school uniform, and in the dim light of the alley, it even shimmered with an unusual pinkish glow.

Thinking about what was about to happen, a look of terror immediately appeared on the girl's face.

The three thugs also stuck out their tongues and licked their lips, their eyes constantly glancing at the girl's exposed skin, which she saw as nothing short of demons!

"Help……"

"Hey, you're Shiroshima from Class 1-B, right?"

Hearing a male voice coming from one end of the alley, the girl turned her head with difficulty. When she saw the familiar face, she couldn't help but show a look of surprise and joy: "It's... Natsuki... Teacher..."

"It really is..."

As Xia Mu looked at the tearful girl, he walked into the alley and said with emotion.

My impression of Shiroshima was that she was a very quiet student. Because her hair was also unusually white, just like mine, I had a strong impression of her.

I never expected to run into her in a place like this!

"teacher?"

The burly thug glanced at Xia Mu.

Although puzzled as to why the other person would appear in such a place, he still grinned and laughed.

"Teacher, I advise you to mind your own business. Otherwise, if you get injured, you won't be able to teach your dear students tomorrow, will you?"

"Brother, let's just beat him to death!"
