My immediate thought was to lie down and face the emperor.

 Miss Nan Lingyin, are you feeling lonely?

 Sanzenin Arashi opened her mouth, took a few steps forward, and put her ear to Nanami Suzune's door, listening intently.

 Now it's much clearer. Based on the sound, Sanzenin Arashi imagined an exceptionally beautiful scene—Nan Suzune, disheveled, was creating a magnificent spectacle of human anatomy. Because she had no one to comfort her for many years, she was filled with loneliness. However, she cared deeply for her daughter and, considering her daughter's feelings, had never found a stepfather for the little bird.

 I can only do certain things in my room at night when I can't bear it anymore, when the birds are asleep, by keeping my voice down, afraid of waking my daughter or being discovered by her.

 She has a very beautiful face. When she walks on the street, the gazes of men make her even more uncomfortable. This feeling intensifies over time. However, no one can ignore this beautiful woman. To avoid upsetting her daughter, she tries to minimize contact with men. Tonight, she is doing what she usually does.

 However, she didn't expect that there was someone quietly listening outside the door, and in the end, she was brought to her feet by her own fingers...

 Sanzenin Arashi heard a slightly loud voice and instinctively trembled, making a sound that was neither too loud nor too soft.

 The sounds in the room suddenly stopped. Nan Lingyin stared wide-eyed at the door. Every night she worried about being discovered by her daughter. The sound had clearly come from the door, which made her heart skip a beat. She quickly put on her clothes, went to the door, and opened it to take a look.

 Sanzenin Arashi tried his best to appear more natural. He went downstairs to take care of his personal matters, and then tiptoed back to his room. As he passed by Nanami Suzune's room, he turned his head to look at her.

 'Anyway, her husband isn't in this world anymore, is he?'

 There's a feeling of restless anticipation.

 But he snapped back to reality in a flash. This was Minami Kotori's mother; how could he possibly think of such a thing?

 Even though widows don't have any psychological burden, they still can't just go around talking nonsense to everyone they meet!

 Just as he was pondering this matter, the door opened gently, and Nan Lingyin's face peeked out. Sanzenin Arashi turned his head and saw that the chairman's wife was staring at him in disbelief.

 "Um... Good evening, Miss Suzune. Did I disturb you by getting up to go to the bathroom?"

 Nan Lingyin felt utterly ashamed. To think that someone the same age as her daughter had discovered this! She had clearly heard a knock on her door, and she had indeed been…

 In other words, the other party must have discovered it, and the thought of this made her eyes look uneasy.

 A blush involuntarily crept onto her face, and her body trembled slightly.

 ..

175. The Awkward Bird of Nanjing University

 The chairman's wife didn't know what to say for a moment, but as the elder, she still managed to squeeze out a sentence.

 "Good evening, Mr. Aoyama. I need to go to the restroom too."

 As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something was off. Sanzenin Arashi also opened her mouth. What does it mean for a woman to tell a man in the middle of the night that she needs to go to the toilet? Is she inviting me?

 "Ah, no, then I'll go first. Goodnight, Mr. Aoyama." Nan Lingyin concealed her embarrassment and quickly walked past Sanzenin Arashi.

 Sanzenin Arashi turned her head and looked at her figure. Seeing that her steps were a little unsteady, she guessed what had happened.

 ……

 The next morning, around 7 a.m., Sanzenin Arashi got up and turned on her computer to check Twitter.

 AngelBeats received rave reviews, though some trolls tried to stir up trouble, but it didn't really have any effect.

 Bakemonogatari is nearing its end. I'll make it into an app and sell it on mobile devices when it's available. As for physical publishing, Arashi Sanzenin isn't thinking about that for now. He'll wait until his own publishing house is established. As for Shinazugawa Bunko, he's only investing in Sword Art Online. Making money from novels is completely out of the question right now.

 The money you earn from submitting a first-rate book to a document library is less than what the library earns from publishing a second-rate book.

 Arashi Sanzenin picked up a science textbook and began to read it carefully.

 The content is very simple. Even calculus, which involves forced calculations, is only mentioned as an extracurricular interest. Sanzenin Arashi didn't even bother to look at things like functions. It only covers basic knowledge.

 High school science subjects are entirely designed to cultivate critical thinking skills.

 Computational thinking.

 No matter how good your science grades are, if you pick up a book on advanced mathematics, it will still be like reading gibberish to you.

 To put it simply, using equations for mental arithmetic is the most basic way to master advanced mathematics. For graduate students, the content of junior and senior high school is like the multiplication tables of elementary school, used only for parameter transformation.

 After glancing at it briefly, Sanzenin Arashi tossed the textbook aside and went to wash her face and brush her teeth.

 Unexpectedly, the Nan family mother and daughter got up very early. When Sanzenin Arashi went downstairs, Nan Suzune was brushing her teeth with her daughter. The two birds stood side by side, and the toothbrushes made a sizzling sound. The scene looked very harmonious.

 Nan Lingyin looked in the mirror and noticed Sanzenin Arashi's figure. She immediately shrank back and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

 She was certain that what she had done last night had been discovered.

 Moreover, the other party was standing at the door, listening to the whole process slowly, and at the end, accidentally made a sound.

 Sanzenin Arashi, holding a new toothbrush, joined the Minami mother and daughter in their line. The three of them stood in a row brushing their teeth, but Minami Suzune seemed to be avoiding it.

 However, Sanzenin Arashi did not speak, but instead observed carefully.

 If I hadn't overheard those things last night, I would have thought she was a very virtuous and steady woman.

 When Sanzenin Arashi saw her face, he even thought of a certain serious-looking ahoge (a type of hair sticking up) king.

 Unfortunately, she's a repressed pervert, doing this kind of thing behind her daughter's back at night. What a wicked woman.

 However... one can imagine how lonely the chairman's wife has been all these years. She came to this place as a complete stranger, and instead of restraining herself, she did the same thing without hesitation.

 Sanzenin Arashi's gaze clearly caught Nanami Suzune's attention.

 Nan Lingyin noticed his gaze sweeping over her, and she couldn't help but feel uneasy. As an educator and the chairperson of a school, she herself felt that this matter was too absurd.

 Although there was no reason for her to be criticized for doing such a thing in her own private space, she had an indescribable feeling towards Sanzenin Arashi, who already knew about it.

 The three of them seemed to be brushing their teeth in harmony, but things had actually turned sour behind the scenes.

 He thought it best to explain this matter to the chairman's wife, otherwise Mrs. Nan Lingyin would never be able to get over this knot in her heart, and she would always carry a psychological burden.

 'I'll talk to her about it at noon.'

 ……

 There aren't many schools in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, and Otonokizaka Academy is the only one, but it doesn't have many students.

 This is a girls' school.

 Otonokizaka was established before World War II and was generally used to send the children of government officials to school. Undoubtedly, it was a prestigious school.

 However, after World War II, Japan underwent a large-scale reshuffle and experienced a nationwide economic crisis led by the United States, which resulted in the school having few students. Then, under the government's decision, it began to recruit students from the general public.

 It was quite good at first, as can be seen from the classical decorations in Otonokizaka. The school covers a large area, and although the facilities are old, they are of good quality and have survived to this day, which is enough to show how much manpower and financial resources were used to build the school.

 The school has a very refreshing atmosphere. It's an all-girls school with the scent of lilies. There are innocent young ladies and dashing, reliable older sisters with long, straight black hair. It's full of girlish charm, which is wonderful.

 However, Arashi Sanzenin realized a truth: many people are actually unable to escape the label of "brat" even during high school.

 Honoka Kousaka's class had a total of forty-two students, and forty-two pairs of eyes were staring intently at one person: the temporary teacher standing on the podium.

 The girls chattered noisily like sparrows. There was no class yet; Sanzenin Arashi had only come to the class early to introduce herself.

 He explained the situation to the students: "Your previous teacher was on maternity leave and recuperating, and the new teacher was in the hospital with a high fever. But after these girls saw his face, they didn't feel any teacher's authority at all. Some of them even blushed and kept scanning him up and down. As for Sanzenin Arashi... his entry into this school is like a weasel raiding a chicken coop or a wolf entering a sheepfold."

 A few reserved young girls were whispering amongst themselves, their eyes constantly glancing towards the podium.

 boom!

 Sanzenin Arashi slammed his hand on the table with an air of authority, and instantly, all forty-two eyes turned to him.

 They were all waiting for the new teacher to speak.

 Arashi Sanzenin glanced around the classroom and, seeing that everyone had quieted down, pointed to a corner of the classroom. "Honoka Kousaka, put your bread back. Class is about to begin."

 ..

176. You are a big salted fish.

 The once noisy classroom was now completely silent. The girls stared dumbfounded at the incomprehensible writing on the blackboard, and a few of the more timid girls almost fainted when they saw what it said.

 After writing the last symbol [Ω] on the blackboard, Sanzenin Arashi put down the chalk, dusted off his hands, and nodded in satisfaction.

 "We need to understand that if you're preparing to launch a nuclear missile, you first have to deal with the network of 2016, the electronic equipment of 1952, the codes of 1940, the transport isolation gate of 1980, the warhead of 1970, and the launch platform of 1988. Hmm, what's wrong with that student? You don't look too good. Should the teacher take you to the infirmary?"

 ……

 "Next, we'll start explaining practical application problems. I didn't look at the textbook yesterday; you'll never use that rubbish. I'm a practical person, and I'm thinking about your lives. Now I'll talk about which geometric angle to use when there's a big sale at the supermarket to help you get ahead."

 Sanzenin Arashi said to the students below who were dumbfounded, "Honoka Kousaka ate a piece of bread. Let's use this as an example. The bread counter is usually shaped like a cuboid. You can't reach the corners with your hand. If you want to buy the cheapest and freshest bread, you have to charge at the first right corner at a reverse 75-degree angle. Don't ask me why."

 Finally, he patted the table and said, "Anyway, you'll definitely need it."

 The girls were stunned.

 Arashi Sanzenin silenced the previously chattering classroom with a slap, then scribbled a few high school science formulas on the blackboard and said, "Alright, let's begin the lesson."

 A series of sighs of relief came from the room. Sanzenin Arashi grinned and said, "Listening to lectures is not as good as studying at home. Learning is something you have to do yourself. The teacher is just helping you to think. I'm not going to teach anything from the book in this class because your new teacher will arrive at the school tomorrow. Let her handle this."

 The classroom fell silent again. The young girls had done this involuntarily because the teacher on the stage looked very authoritative.

 With a few subtle moves, Sanzenin Arashi took control of the class. He nodded and said directly, "Now it's time for the Q&A session. You can ask any questions you want, from your personal life to what you ate this morning. It's okay to ask anything, I'll keep you company."

 "Oh, it seems you're still not enthusiastic enough." Seeing that no one asked a question, Sanzenin Arashi said, "In that case, I'll choose someone myself. This student, please stand up and ask a question."

 Dozens of eyes instantly turned to where Sanzenin Arashi was pointing, only to see the long-haired girl with a blank expression, unaware that she had been called out.

 Sanzenin Arashi smiled and said, "It's you, Sonoda Umi-kun."

 "Huh?" Sonoda Umi pointed to herself, looking completely bewildered. "Excuse me, am I?"

 The people around her were looking at her with "yes, yes" expressions. The girl trembled and said, "But I don't have any questions to ask."

 "Oh? So, Sonoda-kun, do you know what the teacher ate for breakfast?"

 "This one……"

 "Anything you don't know is a problem."

 Sonoda Umi hesitated for a moment, glanced around, and found that her classmates were looking at her with eyes that said, "Let's teach him a lesson," and some even had "Down with this arrogant teacher" written all over their faces.

 More than forty students united as one, determined to make this arrogant teacher understand why the flowers are so red.

 Although Sonoda Umi thought to herself, 'This might not be a good idea,' she was moved by the atmosphere and, after thinking for a moment, said, 'I find Higuchi more interesting. Could you give me a demonstration, teacher?'

 “Okay.” Sanzenin Arashi nodded with a smile. He remembered that this girl came from a family of dancers and also practiced archery. She was a traditional Japanese woman. For someone like her, the Japanese traditional culture of “higanbana” (a type of verse) is an essential course on the path to becoming a bride.

 "Faiju" is basically just doggerel, there's not much difference, and it's quite free.

 Sanzenin Arashi coughed.

 All the girls' eyes were fixed on him; it was a battle between students and teachers.

 He reached out and tapped in the air, casually picking up characters: "The sound is fish, its name is salty, it is estimated to have four or two, and its category is close to nine."

 The girls in the class were stunned. What the teacher said really made sense. Each sentence had twelve characters, and the rhyme was natural. They couldn't help but look at Sanzenin Arashi with more respect.

 Sonoda Umi blushed and her expression turned strange. This was Class 2, and she was sitting in the fourth row, ninth seat.

 This sentence is referring to her.

 And those first two sentences are simply...

 This teacher...

 How abominable!!

 He actually called himself a salted fish!

 That's outrageous!!!

 He actually called himself a salted fish in front of the whole class!

 Hai looked around again and found that his classmates were already in awe of someone's skill.

 Only she could understand what she was saying; the others looked on as if they were listening to gibberish.

 This group of people just couldn't understand...

 And he looked at that somewhat detestable teacher with that kind of gaze.

 Sanzenin Arashi smiled and waved her hand, "Sonoda-kun, you can sit down now. Let's ask someone else."

 After Sonoda Umi sat down, Sanzenin Arashi glanced around the classroom, looking for her next target.

 'Which girl should I hook up with this time?'

 Sanzenin Arashi pointed ahead and said, "It's you, Red Bean Bread Spread."

 Honoka Kousaka was enjoying the conversation, but doubts began to creep into her heart.
