"Students, since Teacher Kishida is seriously injured and hospitalized, from now on I will be your new homeroom teacher."
The ambulance had just taken Kishida away, and immediately a female teacher came to replace him.
After Meiko introduced herself, she began cautiously and conscientiously teaching the class.
Her gaze swept over Jotaro in the last row. Seeing him leaning on the chair asleep, she didn't dare disturb him.
The principal had warned her repeatedly, telling her not to offend Joatro under any circumstances.
Jotaro was a major shareholder of Kiyose High School, and because he found the enrollment procedures too troublesome, he directly bought the entire school.
'Poor Mr. Kishida had provoked someone like that, looks like he won't be coming back anymore.'
In the next few periods, the teachers all taught very cautiously, afraid of displeasing Jotaro.
They clearly already knew Jotaro's identity. In their eyes, Jotaro was no longer a student, but a superior auditing their lessons.
Fortunately, Jotaro slept during class, which let them breathe a sigh of relief.
From now on, they must teach in an even more hypnotic manner, make Jotaro sleep more comfortably, that was their only thought.
The transfer of the new students had undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention.
Because Jotaro always wore a "stay away" expression, not many people dared to approach him.
Compared to him, the gentle and beautiful Shinobu was clearly more popular.
Just within the short ten-minute break between classes, many students had already come to talk to her.
No matter what others asked her, she always responded with a patient and gentle smile, not feeling troubled at all, after all, everything at school made her feel fresh and new.
After the last period ended, it was lunchtime.
"Um, Kocho-san, can we eat lunch together with you?" Yoriko gently pulled on Touka's hand and asked softly.
"Of course you can."
Shinobu put down her lunchbox and motioned for them to sit beside her.
Once seated, Yoriko noticed that Shinobu had brought two lunchboxes and asked in surprise, "Kocho-san, are all these for you? Your appetite…"
She carefully sized up Shinobu. She didn't expect that someone so petite would have such a surprisingly large appetite.
Shinobu smiled and waved her hand, "Actually, this one is for Jotaro-san."
Yoriko was startled and quickly grabbed her hand, "You mean Kujo-kun? Why are you bringing him lunch? What's your relationship?"
"Um…" Shinobu blushed and awkwardly didn't know how to explain.
"Big Sister Shinobu, Jotaro-san!"
Nezuko had somehow come over from the middle school division, smiling brightly and greeting the two.
Seeing Jotaro sitting in the classroom, Nezuko's smile deepened. She had thought Jotaro wouldn't come.
"What a cute girl!" The boys watching her had hearts going "thump thump."
"Jotaro-san! Let's eat together," she immediately hugged Jotaro's arm sweetly.
Seeing this, the boys in class lost hope, bit their lips, and tried not to let the tears fall.
———
"What! You two are… are… are living together with Kujo-kun!!" Yoriko stood up and shouted in shock.
"Yoriko, calm down!" Touka grabbed her friend's hand and slightly raised her chin toward behind them, Jotaro's face had already turned cold.
"Sorry." Yoriko shut her mouth awkwardly and quietly asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Kujo-kun? The three of you living together is too strange, right?"
"Family." Nezuko smiled brightly and tilted her head to ask, "Right, Big Sister Shinobu?"
Shinobu's beautiful face turned as red as glazed porcelain under the evening glow. She lightly nodded and whispered an almost inaudible "Mm."
"Family?" Yoriko squinted and said, "You're Kujo-kun's little sister?"
Nezuko blinked her big bright eyes and shook her head.
Yoriko said, "You go to middle school, and there's probably a four- or five-year age gap between you and Kujo-kun. If not his little sister, then his niece?"
If Jotaro had an older brother who married early, that would indeed be possible. No wonder Yoriko thought so.
Nezuko still shook her head.
Seeing Yoriko looking toward her, Shinobu shoved some food from her chopsticks into Yoriko's mouth and gently smiled, "Yoriko-san, better focus on eating your lunch."
Nezuko looked at Touka, who was sitting beside them silently eating three sandwiches alone, and asked, "Touka-chan, aren't you eating rice?"
Touka replied, "This is enough."
Yoriko shook her head and sighed, "Touka is always like this. Not paying attention to nutrition is no good."
Nezuko nodded, picked up a piece of takoyaki and brought it to Touka's mouth, "Yoriko-chan is right. Touka-chan, eat mine."
"Ah, let me feed you."
"What are you doing?" Touka was startled and jumped up, wanting to refuse. But seeing Nezuko's sincere eyes, she didn't know what to do.
Obediently opened her mouth, bit the takoyaki, chewed it a few times, and swallowed.
"How does it taste?" Nezuko looked at her expectantly and asked.
"De… delicious," Touka forced a smile.
"Delicious?" Nezuko's eyes curved like crescent moons, and she picked out all the takoyaki from her lunchbox, "There's still a lot more."
"If it's delicious, then eat more."
Sweat formed on Touka's forehead. Her face had turned liver-purple.
"If it's not enough, I still have some," Shinobu held a cup of tea and pushed over her lunchbox. There was still a lot of food left inside.
Because she had been slacking on training lately, her appetite hadn't been that big.
Yoriko smiled and said, "That's great, Touka-chan. I used to always worry that you weren't getting enough nutrients. Now with Kocho-san and Nezuko helping, you'll definitely gain some weight."
In her eyes, Touka's figure was too skinny, she always thought Touka was malnourished.
What she didn't know was that Touka was a ghoul, her thin body was because she hadn't eaten much human flesh.
Touka's face looked terrible. She forced a smile. "I… thank you."
Three sincere pairs of eyes looked at her. The words rejecting their kindness were swallowed back down.
Swallowing takoyaki that tasted like plastic and more disgusting than an answer sheet in a cesspit, Touka was drenched in sweat. She exhaled and said, "Did you all hear about the steel bar falling incident at a building near the school?"
Yoriko nodded and said, "Yeah, the news reported it."
Touka glanced behind her at Jotaro and said, "I heard a student from Kamii University disappeared near there last night."
She paused, a fearful expression appearing on her face. "Must've been done by that Binge Eater."
Shinobu asked, "Why do you think that?"
Touka said, "Isn't the TV always broadcasting incidents of the Binge Eater attacking people lately?"
Shinobu smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, the Binge Eater won't attack people anymore."
Touka frowned and asked, "Why are you so sure? I don't think the CCG has caught her yet."
Shinobu smiled without answering. She naturally knew, after all, the Binge Eater was now locked in her house's basement.
But that kind of thing obviously couldn't be told to Touka, who was just an unrelated student.
Nezuko said, "If Touka-chan is scared, then after school we can go home together."
"…Okay." Touka agreed.
She still wanted to gather more information about Jotaro from the two of them. 'Targeted by the Binge Eater, yet acting like nothing happened, how strange.'
'Could it be the Binge Eater didn't attack him?'
There were too many suspicious points, she couldn't figure any of it out.
