I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 854

In the dark sky, one drop after another of drizzle suddenly fell down. After a brief pause, the drizzle began to rain again.

Li Yan and Yukinoshita Yukino were both stunned for a moment, and they went to the door of a restaurant to hide from the rain.

During the rainy season in May, the weather suddenly changed, and the two of them were faced with another white rainy scene. Yukinoshita Yukino hugged the cat teacher and couldn't help but ask Li Yan what he meant by that sentence.

Li Yan, who was under the eaves, raised his head to look at the drizzle and saw flying carp streamers hanging on the roofs of the residential area.

"Carp streamer?" Li Yan asked curiously.

"The day after tomorrow is Children's Day, May 5th, didn't you know?" Yukinoshita Yukino looked at him and asked.

However, Yukinoshita Yukino regretted it as soon as she said it. She forgot that Li Yan was not Japanese. Even if he had lived in Japan for several years, he might not necessarily pay attention to and understand the Japanese tradition of [Men's Day].

Yukinoshita Yukino's cheeks were slightly red, she coughed a few times, and changed her words: "I'm sorry, I seem to have said the wrong thing. But now it doesn't necessarily have to be a boy in the family to hang a carp streamer. Society has advocated the definition of May 5 a long time ago. It’s a children’s festival for both boys and girls. If the weather is fine tomorrow, there will probably be many people visiting the shrine.”

The sound of rustling rain reached his ears. While Li Yan was still listening to Yukinoshita Yukino's introduction to [Men's Day], he saw a petite figure standing in the doorway of a house in the rain and fog.

It was a little girl who was dressed quietly, about the same age as Yui and her third-grade children. She was wearing a black and gray plaid skirt, and long sleeves of light inky white. She had beautiful long black hair, and she was alone. Standing at the door of the small yard, holding a carp streamer in both hands, looking up at the sky.

This picture is somewhat similar to American absurd fairy tales, weird and mysterious, but also has an air of innocence.

However, this back view and this sense of déjà vu gave Li Yan an illusion for a moment, as if the person standing in front of him with his head raised in the rain was his former self.

"!" Li Yan's consciousness fell into a trance. He calmed down and wondered what was going on with him. He suddenly had such an illusion.

After waiting for a while and seeing that no parents came out of the other party's house, he put down his bicycle and walked over there in the drizzle.

Yukino and Mr. Cat were both stunned, looking at Li Yan's behavior.

"Little girl over there, what are you doing? Will you catch a cold in the rain?" Li Yan stood under the rain, looked at the little girl in the yard, and asked with a worried expression.

When the little girl heard Li Yan's words, she slowly turned around and looked at Li Yan, whose hair and clothes were a little damp in the rain.

The cold wind blew the long hair of the girl who turned around. This scene was like an encounter in the deep sea. The eyes of the girl who was immersed in the darkness were dim and lifeless. They were completely inconsistent with the childish and cute face, but there was something about it. A permeating breath.

"..."

Finally, they met.

Teacher Cat's expression suddenly changed, and even though they were ten meters away, Teacher Cat's eyes gradually narrowed.

"What's going on? This kind of chill... the smell is indeed that of a human girl..." Teacher Cat thought uneasily.

"Teacher Li?" The little girl suddenly called Li Yan.

Li Yan was stunned for a moment. He felt a little surprised and asked, "Do you know me?"

The little girl held the carp streamer expressionlessly, looked up at Li Yan, nodded, and said, "I am Haruka Aoki from Class B in the third year. I see the teacher every day in school."

"Really... Then what are you doing here? You'll get wet in the rain." After Li Yan knew that this was his student, he had more reason to intervene and asked.

Aoki Haruka lowered his head and looked at the carp streamer in his hands, then raised his head and looked at Li Yan, and said, "I want to hang the carp streamer."

"Senior, what happened?" Yukinoshita Yukino seemed unable to stand. After putting the cat teacher in the basket, she hurried over in the rain and asked Li Yan.

After Li Yan told Yukino about the girl, he couldn't stand in the rain for too long and asked Haruka Aoki who was standing in front of the hut: "Leave such a thing to your parents, you can't do it yourself. Yes, listen to the teacher and return to the house quickly."

Qingmu Yao shook his head, with a cold expression, but said a very biting and cold words, "Xiao Yao's parents are no longer here."

"..."

Li Yan and Yukinoshita Yukino both turned pale.

"Sorry..." Li Yan said to Aoki Haruka with a guilty look on his face.

"It's not the teacher's fault." Haruka Aoki closed his eyes again and shook his head, looking down at the carp streamer and said.

"After my father and mother don't want me, I will take good care of myself, and I can survive on my own. I can't put up so many dolls on Women's Day, but I can still make carp streamers myself," Haruka Aoki said. Li Yan said expressionlessly.

When Li Yan heard Qingmu Yao's words, his heart completely dropped.

This sentence was almost exactly the same as what someone once said, but when hearing such a child say such words, the profound pain deeply shocked Li Yan's soul.

The person who said such brave words definitely did not say it in an inspiring mood.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt Li Yan's body tremble and looked at Li Yan curiously, only to find that Li Yan, whose face was covered with rainwater, had a strange expression.

"Really, you work very hard." Li Yan was silent for a while and said to her.

He thought for a moment and asked: "Can we come in? After the rain stops, I will help you hang the carp streamer."

In the drizzle, Li Yan, Yukinoshita Yukino and others hid in Aoki's house. After the rain passed and the sky cleared, Li Yan climbed up to the roof and hung a carp streamer for the little girl named Haruka Aoki.

The carp streamers under the warm sunshine began to flutter in the moist wind. Haruka Aoki, who was looking up at this scene with Li Yan and Yukino in the courtyard, her eyes seemed to soften a little. Gradually, she raised her head and looked at Li Yan. . This teacher standing under the sunshine and blue sky, with a smile as warm as the sun, is a bit dazzling. Her dark and deep eyes are watching quietly, not understanding, but somewhat full of longing...

The next day.

In the morning, the third grade section of Tangmen Primary School in East District.

"Teachers, please pay attention." Director Chai Qi looked at every teacher in the office with a serious expression and informed: "Today at noon, all the teachers whose names were read came with me to help the first-grade teachers with their work. "

"!!"

When the veteran third-grade teachers who had worked for several years heard this, their expressions changed suddenly.

All of a sudden, the office became quiet, and the atmosphere became extremely serious and depressing.

"What, what's wrong?" Li Yan and other newly arrived teachers looked confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Is it the third grade teacher's turn today?"

"Ah, luckily there are a lot of new people here. I don't want to go to the first graders again."

"Yeah yeah."

Several old teachers started talking about it.

Hikigaya Hachiman observed for a while, his eyes that could see through everything flickered, and he seemed to have found the truth, and said: "The seniors seem to be very unwilling to take over the work assigned by Director Shibasaki. It is definitely not about singing karaoke or eating. Simple."

"Teacher Hikigaya, Teacher Li, Teacher Yugami, and Teacher Suzuki, the four new teachers just come with me. I'll give you a hard time."

Director Shibasaki read out the list of new teachers who were just admitted this year and said to them.

"..." Li Yan, Hikigaya and the others looked at each other, not sure what the job was.

After lunch, a group of teachers were taken to the auditorium by Director Chai Qi, where several first-grade teachers were already waiting.
