Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

"Chiyo!" Mizutani Riho said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "How can you say this in front of the students?"

"Okay, okay, I got it, my Mizutani teacher, come and have a drink."

The three men raised their glasses and clinked them vigorously; the crisp sound of the glass echoed in the air of the pub.

After drinking a glass of wine in one breath, Mizutani Riho's face was slightly flushed, making her look even more charming, while Watanabe Hideyuki's heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

Chapter 48 Whip

After three rounds of drinking.

The three men were already beginning to show signs of being drunk.

The smell of alcohol gradually filled the air, and the conversation between the three people became more relaxed and casual.

A faint blush first appeared on Mizutani Riho's cheeks, as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in early spring.

Her eyes began to blur, but she was also charming. She gently held her chin, a smile on her lips, and was immersed in her own little world.

But looking at Mizuki Chiyo, the corners of her eyes began to turn slightly red, and her laughter became more valuable and hearty, especially when she clapped her hands on the table from time to time, attracting curious glances from the people around her.

Although Watanabe Hideyuki's eyes were still clear, his cheeks began to feel slightly hot. He tried hard to stay calm, but occasionally he still showed a little confusion and bewilderment.

To be honest, he had never had much contact with alcohol in his life.

"Mr. Shuiyue, why did you resign?"

When Mizuki Chiyo heard Watanabe Hideyuki's question, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.

"I'm leaving. Actually, there's no special reason." Mizuki Chiyo's expression was very sad. "I just feel that after teaching for so many years, I want to change the environment and try something new."

"Oh." Xiuxing nodded in sudden realization.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, hiccup~" Mizutani Riho interrupted and burped, "She's not as aggrieved as she sounds, she's pregnant and took the initiative to apply for resignation."

"Pregnant?" Watanabe Hideyuki looked at Mizuki Chiyo in astonishment.

He had never thought that this would be the reason. He widened his eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mizuki Chiyo looked at his reaction and smiled gently, with a hint of tenderness in her smile: "Well, I went to the hospital last month and found out that I was pregnant, so I decided to leave school and concentrate on welcoming the arrival of this new life."

"Then why are you still drinking..." Watanabe Hideyuki looked at the full wine glass in front of Mizuki Chiyo in disbelief.

"Hey! Drink as much as you can, you won't be able to drink later." Mizuki Chiyo defended her behavior, "As the saying goes, once you are a teacher, you will always be a teacher..."

Watanabe Hideyuki interrupted Mizuki Chiyo's spell casting in time and asked the question he wanted to ask the most at the moment: "Then Mr. Mizuki, will you return to school?"

"It's highly likely that he won't go back. My husband has completed several projects in the company this year and got a promotion and a raise. His salary is more than enough for us now."

"So I might become a full-time housewife at home, or find a less busy job and hire a nanny. The work pressure and time constraints faced by teachers are really too tight."

"So that's how it is." Xiuxing nodded in understanding, but he was careful enough to hear a hint of loneliness in Shuiyue's tone. In order to dispel the rather awkward atmosphere, he changed the subject.

"Mr. Mizutani, what about you? Why did you choose the profession of teacher?"

"Huh?" Mizutani Riho did not expect that the topic would suddenly be directed at her.

"Her." This time, it was Mizuki Chiyo's turn to take over the conversation.

She said in a teasing tone: "Don't be fooled by your teacher Mizutani's gentle and refined appearance now. She was a violent woman in her past."

"what?"

In fact, Hideyuki, who had already learned the true nature of Mizutani Riho through the detector, was not surprised.

Which normal Japanese girl would like sports like boxing and skydiving?

"Did Mizutani-sensei and Mizuki-sensei know each other before?"

"Well, we can be considered childhood friends." Mizuki Chiyo explained, "We have been in the same class since junior high school, and it has been like this all the way to high school and college. It's like there's a strange red thread that ties us together."

"Yeah." Mizutani Riho nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Mizutani Riho showed no sign of stopping her, Mizutsuki Chiyo continued, "Your teacher Mizutani was a boxing student back then."

"Boxing?" Xiu Xing pretended to be surprised, "Huh?"

"Yeah, during that time, I practiced boxing, rock climbing, and archery day and night." Mizuki Chiyo held her chin and recalled, "A few years ago, when I was not a teacher, I also went skydiving around the world, doing extreme sports such as wing suit flying."

"Ah?" This time, Xiuxing was really shocked.

"To be honest, I was also surprised when she came to me to be a teacher." Mizuki Chiyo said with a smile, "Just think about it, a person who plays extreme sports all day suddenly wants to be a teacher. This is a huge change."

When Mizutani Riho heard this, she scratched her head a little embarrassedly, but combined with her red face after being drunk, she looked a little silly.

"Why?" Watanabe Hideyuki asked curiously.

Mizutani Riho was silent for a while, as if she was organizing her words. She took another sip of wine and then slowly said, "When I was in college, I was diagnosed with leukemia."

"Then I recovered." She said lightly, very briefly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. "Since then, I feel that life is very boring. It's really boring."

"Think about it."

"Every morning when you wake up from bed and open your eyes, you can predict the general trajectory of your life today. Day after day, every day is the same..."

"When I was lying in the hospital bed, I was wondering when this kind of life would end. Would it be when I die?"

"I was about to die at that time." Having said that, Mizutani Riho took another big gulp of wine.

Only a few lonely wine bottles were left lying under the table.

"I don't want my life to be meaningless, I don't want my death to be worthless, I don't want to... So at that time, I started looking for the so-called "meaning"..."

Although there was a hint of helplessness in Mizutani Riho's words, it disappeared in an instant and turned into relief.

"After that, I was tired...something happened at home at that time, so I came here to be a teacher."

The atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

"Si Guoyi!"

Watanabe Hideyuki suddenly shouted, startling both Mizutani Riho and Mizutsuki Chiyo.

The two of them looked at Watanabe Hideyuki, who was holding a cup, his face flushed, and a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Mizutani Riho rubbed her eyes and looked at Watanabe Hideyuki curiously.

"I think you are all great." Watanabe Hideyuki said seriously, "Whether it is Teacher Mizuki or Teacher Mizutani, you all have your own stories, your own persistence and pursuit."

“Although you have taken different paths, you are all working hard to live your lives,” Watanabe continued. “I really, really, really admire you.”

"Especially Mr. Mizutani, his experiences can be made into a movie."

"Hahahaha, you are really good at talking." Mizutani also stood up and picked up the wine glass.

When she found that there was no wine in her glass, she snatched the cup in front of Shuiyue and clinked glasses with Xiuxing.

"Come, drink."

...

This time, perhaps because Watanabe Hideyuki was present, Mizutani Riho and Mizutsuki Chiyo did not get drunk and lie unconscious on the table like last time.

The three of them still retain the most basic consciousness.

When Chiyo Mizuki was picked up by her husband, only Riho Mizutani and Hideyuki were left at the table.

"Come on, Mr. Mizutani, I'll take you home."

"I...I'm not drunk enough to ask a little brat like you to take me home..."

Mizutani Riho struggled to get up, paid the bill, put her arm around Hideyuki's shoulders and carried him out of the store.

"Take a walk?"

"Go for a walk."

......

11pm.

Hideyuki Watanabe was lying on the bed in the bedroom.

He opened the system backpack very naturally.

It's up to you.

Watanabe Hideyuki felt a deep sense of tiredness sweeping over his body, as if all his energy had been drained away, and his eyelids became extremely heavy.

At the same time, a thick darkness suddenly descended, swallowing up his clear consciousness.

His soul wandered and wandered in nothingness and chaos.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

He saw a beam of white light in the distance and was sucked in.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself tied to an iron bed.

And the girl in front of him was holding a whip!
