The process of rescuing the kitten was quite troublesome. It had broken bones, lost blood, and was a little hypothermic. It was also a kitten that had lost its mother and had not yet been weaned. No matter how you looked at it, there was little hope.

He originally thought that the kitten was dead, but he didn't expect that the little thing really recovered after struggling for a while, and became able to run and jump again. Although it had a lame leg and was left with an injury that could never be healed, it was still living happily. Every time it saw him, it would "meow meow meow" and run over with its tail up, rubbing against his outstretched hand. It was as if it had completely forgotten the torture that almost killed it before, and it couldn't remember it anymore.

It seemed that the pain in his body was a little less.

The inexplicable fatigue that was always pressing on him was no longer felt now.

However, although he managed to get goat milk powder and a heat pad, this little thing still needs to eat meat when it grows up, right? Or should he try to steal some cat food? It still feels very troublesome. I don't really want to do anything sneaky, but I don't have much money. It seems that raising a pet is really energy-consuming.

...

Ah, am I laughing?

...

Am I happy? No, I don't feel happy. I'm just thinking about how to take care of this little guy in the future. After all, I don't have much experience raising cats.

...

You said, I am now thinking about the future, thinking about the future?

That's true.

So this is the feeling of [thinking about the future]?

...

No, it's not beautiful at all.

I can only feel endless troubles, money, time, energy, this feeling of calculating gains and losses in all aspects, thinking about what I need to pay, what I can get, and what consequences may result, it is really quite troublesome.

But this little thing is with me now. If I don't take care of it, it will probably die soon, right?

I am an abandoned child myself. If I abandon it now, won't I be no different from that bastard? What, you said this is called [sense of responsibility]? Uh, it feels even more troublesome. It seems that the future and responsibilities are all things that add burden to people...

...

Forget it, I'll think of a way. As long as I'm willing to put in some effort, I should be able to do it. I'm not so poor that I can't even feed a cat. Well, I can do it.

Forget it, don't tease me. You don't even have a body. You're just a ghost. What can you do? It's good enough if you don't cause trouble.

But thank you, teacher. Without you, I probably wouldn't be like this anyway. Maybe I would have found a random place to end my life, or I would have become a guy whose brain has rotted.

Well, this is the truth.

Don't make such a fuss. I'm not the kind of guy who only knows how to emit negative energy. I still know what's right and wrong.

Yes, you are the first person I've met who is willing to treat me well, understand me, help me, and guide me.

So this sentence is indeed what I want to say.

Thank you.

Teacher.

It was like a long dream.

In the dream, I saw the figures of those children again and again.

At the beginning, I was ignorant and could only watch them cry and despair.

Then I gradually understood their experiences, their thoughts, and their misfortunes.

Then, I felt helpless about it.

Because I was nothing, because I had nothing.

There was no hand to reach out, and it was completely empty from the bottom of the root, not even as good as a shadow.

[No, maybe you can really do it]

[Because you do have the components of being a human being, as an existence that is a combination of ghost stories and humans, you should have a human side]

[And human empathy is something engraved in genes and instincts. Just like the brutal nature of human beings, they are all components of human existence]

[So you can do whatever you want to do, go, do it, show us]

[Let us see clearly what you are and what you can become]

In the darkness, someone is watching me.

Unlike them who always cry and are always sad, there are people who seem to have no emotions, only cruelty and terror.

However, I seldom see them. These people are always mysterious and I can never find any trace of them. However, I seem to be able to feel their presence everywhere. Even when I can't see a single figure, I will inexplicably feel that they are nearby.

So, what should I do?

I have been watching all this happen.

I just watch the same thing happen over and over again.

However, I always feel that it is very uncomfortable and uncomfortable to hide and cry alone after being bullied.

Can you stop crying?

Don't cry, just smile. It's the expression of raising the corners of your mouth and slightly bending your eyebrows.

Although I don't quite understand what that means, I think that expression is still pretty.

[Are you... teacher? ]

Ah, you can hear my voice, you can see me.

Are you calling me teacher?

So that's it, those people are teachers.

I actually don’t quite understand, but if you want to call me that, then just call me teacher.

Although I can't teach, and I don't know how to guide students to grow, but if I were a [teacher], I would like to see if I can take on such an identity.

Then, can you tell me, how can I help you?

If there's anything I can do.

Just come and ask me for help.

【teacher】

【teacher】

【I'm calling you, teacher】

[Although, I am really grateful to you, teacher. After all, you have taught me a lot. Without your help, I would not have grown up to where I am now]

[But, teacher, what about yourself? 】

[I don’t dare to say how mature I am and how understanding I am of people’s hearts, but, teacher, you obviously have something on your mind, right? 】

[Especially when someone in class talks about ghost stories, about the ghost story about the female student buried in the soil, you feel that your emotions are particularly unstable. Is it possible that you actually know the person they were chatting about, Teacher? 】

[It’s useless to hide it. Since I asked, I must have really seen it. And if you don’t tell me, who else can you talk to? Apart from me, is there anyone else in this school who can see you and talk to you? 】

[Still unwilling to say? Okay, whatever you want, just pretend I didn’t ask]

[Teacher, do you have any wishes? 】

[Nothing, I just want to know if there is anything I can do for the teacher]

[Ah, no wish? What is this answer? You keep saying that you have to think about the future, but in the end, are you really a boring guy who doesn’t even have any wishes? 】

[You ask me what I wish for? I didn’t, um, that’s right, I was bored to begin with, I just wanted to live one day at a time]

[But teacher, if you have any wishes, I can try hard. Anyway, I have nothing to do all day long. Even if I take care of the little Miaunai, I just play with it and feed it every day. Hua Not much time]

【Really not? Ha, I don’t believe it, you lie so badly]

[So, what if I say I want to help other people? What if I said I was going to help people who were being bullied in this school? Like you said, this school is not normal, isn't it? Besides me, there are other students who are being bullied, and many of these people neither know how to resist nor how to escape]

[You ask me if this is my wish? 】

[Why, are you doubting it? So whose wish do you think this is? 】

[Okay, okay, I said it all, I’m just idle and bored, but I really hate people who only talk nonsense]

Meow~

The soft meow of the kitten sounded in my ears.

Gao Hai opened his eyes and stared at the portrait of the boy painted on the wall with a dazed expression.

The kitten, which had regained the ability to move at some point, was sitting next to Gao Hai, silently licking the fur on its body.

Slowly, Gao Hai covered his head and stood up amid waves of dizziness.

The rescue team badge began to recover from the blood loss symptoms caused by using the [Perseverant's Pen], but the strong emotions that flooded into the consciousness and belonged to [Kouji Morihara] could only be suppressed by Gao Hai's own willpower.

I really didn’t expect that it turned out to be such a wish.

In the end, we ended up back where we started, and circled back again.

However, this is not so bad.

If this is your last wish, I think I am quite willing to help you realize it.

"The Yeluoshan Middle School section is just the last missing link."

Gao Hai whispered to himself, opened the door of this small room and walked back to the hall outside.

The channeling of the obsession seemed to take a long time, but to the perception of other people in the underground base, it was a very short time. Therefore, Kenta Hayashibe had just sunk into the blood pool not long ago, and before he even had time to swim to the bottom of the pool, Ren Nanagawa was sitting at the gap above the blood pool as before, pulling on the rope and carefully confirming Looking at the current situation of Kenta Hayashibe who sneaked into it.

Concubine Shijou woke up while covering her head, and sat up with Kaguya's help. After being knocked unconscious, she now looked somewhat similar to the unconscious Gao Hai, and she seemed to have received some information.

Hayasaka was still lying on the ground as usual. According to Nanami Aoyama, her body had grown back a lot. Goto Yili put a piece of clothing on the piece of meat that was gradually returning to its full form, so as the piece of meat grew, Gao Hai could see the way the clothes kept squirming, which looked particularly weird.

As for Gotou Kazuri, she seems to be a little distracted, but her condition is not too bad.

How is the situation now?

Gao Hai opened his mouth to ask.

"now……"

But almost as soon as he opened his mouth, a strong sense of crisis suddenly erupted, forcing Gao Hai to turn his sight in another direction.

That's right above the blood pool.

Cracks suddenly appeared, and the concrete ceiling seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure, roaring and shattering in the blink of an eye.

"Uh-huh!"

Although Nanakawa Ren had responded as quickly as possible, the speed of the ceiling collapse was far faster than the falling speed of normal objects, as if something else was mixed in. As a result, she had just jumped out of the gap, and one of her legs was cut off on the spot before she could retract it.

Boom--

Amid the violent collapse, a large amount of blood-red soil fell into the blood pool, completely burying Hayashibe Kenta who was still in it.

Rumble--

Some vegetation mixed in the soil and fell into the blood pool in the center. The scope of the collapse continued to expand, and finally most of the ceiling of the base hall collapsed completely. The blood pool was completely buried inside and out, and no trace could be seen at all.

Then, the blood-colored moonlight shone down from the broken ceiling of the hall.

Takahashi, who protected Maki, Kaguya and Hayasaka, raised his head and saw the dilapidated and abandoned main teaching building under the blood moon.

Above the blood pool is the patio, and the bodies buried in the patio will return to the blood pool in some way. The reason why Kaguya and Shinki became like that in the second round is probably due to the special connection between these two places.
