"Besides, this kind of thing doesn't really matter. The law says that people are not allowed to drink alcohol before they reach adulthood, but it makes it seem like everyone hasn't had their parents dip their chopsticks into alcohol when they were little. And if you young people really have no interest in alcohol, the Japanese government and those wineries will be the ones who are anxious. By then, they will lower the age of consent to 13, just like the age of sexual consent. From now on, you may have to pay them to drink."
"That makes sense." Wu Yi raised the bottle and took a sip.
The wine had just been drunk and the effects of the alcohol should not have taken effect yet, but Chabashira Saeda had already started talking more.
"Besides, alcohol itself is not very good to drink. Children may drink out of curiosity, but adults drink just for the atmosphere, or to find an excuse for being irrational."
Wu Yi raised an eyebrow: "So, teacher, you mean to start being irrational next?"
"Don't say that until I really start to lose my rationality." Chabashi Sae snorted.
It sounds like this is really irrational...
Wu Yi looked around at the bustling scene in the store, and for some reason she suddenly felt that she shouldn't have come to this dinner.
"Well, so teacher, you thought of asking me out for dinner today. Is there something important to discuss, or do you want me to help our class get promoted to Class A? But we are already Class A now?"
"Don't worry, that's a thing of the past."
Chabashira Sae picked up a skewer and put it in his mouth without caring about his image, and said while biting it.
"My only hope for you now is that you don't transfer to another class, that's all... Don't look at me like that, do I really know nothing? Nanyun was expelled because he offended you. I think with your personality, you should have already pocketed all the points he has accumulated in the past three years. How many points do you have now? 20 million? Or 30 million?"
"Probably... double it." Wu Yi told the truth.
"Oh, I knew it."
Chabashi Sae chuckled, hiding the surprise in his eyes very well.
"You don't know how urgent the situation is for Hoshinomiya right now. Class B, which she used to lead well, has fallen to Class C. Now, let alone catching up with Class A, I guess they can't even deal with Class B where Sakayanagi is. What's more, the leader of her own class has fallen in love with you. She's dreaming of getting you into her class now."
"So crazy?"
"Don't worry, it's definitely more crazy than you think. Do you believe that if you call her now, she will be wearing sexy clothes and lying on the bed waiting for you as you requested when you return to the dormitory?"
"That's really quite insane..."
Wu Yi felt that the scene must be beautiful just by thinking about it.
In every sense.
As he spoke, Chabashira Sae had already picked up the second skewer.
"I've said before that most of the teachers in this school are poor souls who were not promoted to Class A and are unwilling to do so. They continue to stay in this school just to make up for their past shortcomings and seek redemption. But as far as I know, Majima should have made up his mind. He has placed his hopes on the new round of first-year students in a year."
She changed the subject.
"But I don't want to wait any longer. I've been in this school for ten years. This may be my last chance to be admitted to Class A. I will never let it go. So as long as you promise me not to transfer to other classes or provide assistance to other classes in the next year, I can agree to anything you ask for, as long as it does not violate the law or morality."
Any request is ok...
Wu Yi held his forehead and thought to himself, Teacher, your level of obsession is no less than that of Teacher Xing Zhigong in the next class.
"So, teacher, are you sure it doesn't violate any legal or moral requirements?"
"Correct."
"Even if my condition is that I want your body, teacher?"
"Yes."
Faced with such an out-of-bounds request, Chabashira Sae's tone and eyes remained firm and resolute.
Wu Yi slowly typed a question mark.
"...Forget it. If a teacher and a student do that, it will easily cause public opinion. It's fine for me, but it will probably be a bit difficult for you, teacher."
In fact, it is not just a little difficult, it should be said that it is quite difficult.
In Japan, if a teacher and a student are found to be in a relationship, it will most likely cause a huge social outcry. Especially for the teacher, it will be a socially devastating blow. If nothing unexpected happens, he or she will never be able to find a teaching-related job again, and even after-school training institutions will not accept him or her.
"Having said that, I think your worries now are unnecessary."
Chabashira Sae said this while taking a bite of the skewers and a sip of sake.
"Because I won't fulfill my promise now. I will resign from this school after you have completed the conditions I proposed, and you have graduated from Class A. At that time, I will no longer be your teacher, and you will no longer be my student. That's all."
"And I've also thought that maybe that would be the best outcome. At my age, even if I quit my job and go home, I can only find another stable job, and then be arranged by my parents to marry a man who is okay in all aspects but whom I don't really like, and then live my life in a daze."
The female teacher spoke calmly about her own story.
"If that's the case, then why don't I just agree to your request? At least, it's normal to like someone who once saved you."
Volume 509: Chapter : Chabashira Sae's "Deposit"
Save... redeem?
Wu Yi was slightly stunned by this overly serious statement.
Just like the "meaning weirdness" that has emerged in large numbers on the Internet today, it is almost human instinct to think about the meaning of doing something before doing it. It's just that some people think about it and speak it out loud and help others think about it, while some people just think about it by themselves and then digest it in their stomachs.
But he is a person who seldom thinks about the meaning of what he does and only does things out of interest.
For Wu Yi, as long as he wants to do something and feels he can do it, he will do it without worrying about how much benefit this thing can bring to him.
It is with this kind of thinking mode that he seems to have "saved" many people in similar matters since he entered school two years ago.
From the earliest one, Kushida Kikyo, to Sakura Airi, then later Karuizawa Megumi, then Ichinose Honami, and so on...
I didn’t feel anything at the time, but when I think back on it now, I inexplicably have this feeling of “WTF, I’m so awesome.”
Perhaps out of consideration for the teacher's face, or perhaps because he felt there was no need to say it a second time after having said it once, Chabashira Sae did not mention the matter of using herself as a condition in exchange during the entire dinner.
However, the conversation did not stop there. They ate and talked, and soon two large plates of barbecue were eaten by the two of them.
"Okay, I'll go check out..."
Without any hints or deliberate delay, Chabashira Sae had already stood up by the table as he spoke, preparing to walk towards the counter.
Wu Yi, with a skewer still in his mouth, subconsciously called out to her.
"Wait, I'll go, anyway, I'll count this..."
But before he could finish his words, the teacher interrupted him.
"Don't be silly, you're still a student, so keep your points. They can be converted into cash according to the ratio after graduation. Unlike us teachers, points are actually useless to us."
After saying this, Chabashira Sae walked towards the counter without looking back, scanned the code with his mobile phone to pay in one go, and packed an extra small bottle of sake before coming back.
"Okay, let's go."
"Oh."
It can be seen that the female teacher was quite satisfied with this dinner with a very high oil content. After leaving the barbecue restaurant and walking on the indoor street of the shopping mall, she did not forget to drink sake from sip to sip, as if she was still savoring the delicious food she had just eaten.
After all, they are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, so naturally the next step will not be shopping or watching a movie.
Five minutes later, as the two walked out of the shopping mall, the evening breeze, which became increasingly cold as the night deepened, blew on their faces.
There was a moment of confusion in Chabashira Sae's eyes.
But she quickly concealed her emotions and walked forward.
Wu Yi also took a step and followed the female teacher.
The two of them walked one after the other, forming a somewhat strange but inexplicably harmonious combination.
"Speaking of which, teacher, what did you mean by points being useless to you?" Wu Yi casually broke the silence.
"Hmm? You mean that..."
Chabashira Sae said "oh" without turning his head.
"It's nothing. Just like I said before, you students can convert your remaining points into cash when you graduate, but we teachers can't. When you leave, no matter how many personal points are left in your account, they will not be exchanged for cash, and they cannot be transferred to students. If you haven't used them up, you haven't used them up. You can choose to use them up before leaving, or just give them up."
"To prevent teachers from taking bribes and secretly providing convenience to their own students during exams?" Wu Yi understood.
Then he hissed.
"But that's not right. If I remember correctly, when I took my first midterm exam after entering school, Yukinoshita and I bought last year's midterm exam papers from you, so does that count..."
"Not counting."
The female teacher answered with absolute certainty.
"I only gave you the midterm exam papers because you asked me for them. It wasn't an exchange of interests. As for the 100,000 points you mentioned, do you remember last year's cultural festival?"
"What happened to the cultural festival..."
"There's a rule in the cultural festival that you can ask teachers for help as long as you spend 100,000 points, and I did help, so you just paid me the points in advance."
"???"
No, can this thing be explained so forcefully?
Wu Yi was full of questions.
"It's just a joke. Actually, I just wanted to see how many people were available in this year's freshman class." Chabashira Sae took out his mobile phone and opened his S system personal terminal to show it to Wu Yi. "See, I never used the 100,000 points. But conversely, due to school rules, I can't transfer the points back to you and Yukinoshita."
"But it is okay for teachers to buy gifts with their own money and then give them to students." The female teacher added.
"Ow..."
As they were talking, they were already some distance away from the shopping mall, and not far ahead was the second-year dormitory building.
In stark contrast to the third-year dormitory building which was nearly half dark, the second-year dormitory building was still brightly lit tonight.
But Wu Yi had no intention of going back to the dormitory. She continued walking behind Chabashi Sae without even turning her head.
"Aren't you going back to the dormitory?" the female teacher asked knowingly.
"It doesn't matter. There's no rush anyway. I'll just take you back to the dormitory first. Just walking a few more steps can help you digest the meal." Wu Yi shrugged and didn't care.
"up to you……"
After hearing this, Chabashi Sae stopped talking and stopped slowing down his pace, returning to his normal walking speed.
A moment later, at the bottom of the faculty and staff dormitory building on the other side of the campus, the female teacher stopped in front of the steps leading to the entrance.
She turned to look at Wu Yi who had accompanied her all the way and spoke in a slightly drunken voice.
"Okay, you should go back soon."
"Ah."
Wu Yi responded, but did not turn around and leave immediately. After a brief pause, he continued.
"Um, about what you said at the shopping mall before..."
"Just pretend I never said anything."
Chabashira Sae, who had been very calm until just now, suddenly became a little anxious.
"Ah? Oh, no..."
Wu Yi shook his head to indicate that this was not what he meant.
“What I’m saying is, we can make a deal.”
"..."
There was a moment of silence. Chabashira Sae opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't utter a word.
After a while, she covered her face with her hands, then released them after a few seconds.
Then he took a step back and stood on the steps.
"come over."
Chabashi Sae waved his hand to signal Wu Yi to come over.
Wu Yi followed suit and in a few steps he was in front of the female teacher.
As the distance got closer, he could clearly hear Chabashi Sae's breathing becoming faster.
Chabashira Sae once again waved his hands up and down in greeting.
"Come closer and close your eyes."
Wu Yi closed his eyes and took another half step forward.
This was already an extremely close distance; if they moved forward even a few centimeters, the two would have touched each other.
Chabashira Sae's breathing became even more rapid.
Just when Wu Yi was curious about what she would do next, a hug with a hint of alcohol came up from the front, embracing him with its perfect softness and elasticity.
At the same time, a slightly cool touch fell on his forehead.
