Teacher, she was also injured, but I don't know which Hospital she's in.
Ichiko lowered her head and pursed her lips, still nodding, "I'll go back to the dorm first, and grab something for Teacher by the way."
"That works too."
Kai had no objections and returned to the dorm with Ichiko.
As the holiday approached, many people were entering and leaving the dorm. Most who knew Ichiko greeted her.
The small figure sitting at the dorm building's front desk was busy preparing departure agreement signatures for people, having a great time.
After hearing Ichiko greeting someone, she immediately jumped up and shouted, "Ichiko Jie Jie!"
The moment Emi's voice rang out, Ichiko's entire body stiffened.
The little loli happily emerged from the crowd, "Ichiko Jie Jie, long time no see. Do you have time later? I have something I want to talk to you about."
"This... is that so?" Ichiko awkwardly smiled, avoiding her gaze, "Sorry, I need to go find my Teacher later, so I don't have much time."
Emi blinked in confusion, "Is it Teacher Qin?"
"Yes."
"But Teacher Qin has already..."
Before Emi could finish speaking, she heard someone behind her shout loudly, "Nana! What should I fill in here? Where are you?"
"Ah ah ah, I'm here!"
Emi put her hands together towards Ichiko, said sorry, and then quickly squeezed back into the crowd.
Ichiko tilted her head. Although she felt a bit confused, she didn't think too much about it.
Back in the dorm, Yuri's bed was tidied up, and her luggage was packed, but her suitcase was still there, so it seemed she was also preparing to go home.
Haruko was still sleeping soundly on the bed.
Ichiko lightened her steps, took her things, and then slowly left.
Kai followed beside Ichiko and asked, "What's next?"
"I'll go ask which Hospital Teacher is in."
Ichiko returned to the first floor and quickly found a classmate from her major, "Hi classmate, can I ask which Hospital Teacher Qin is in after being stabbed previously?"
"Teacher Qin?" This classmate also recognized Ichiko and slowly said, "Teacher Qin has already been disciplined and expelled, Mimi. You're a party involved, don't you know?"
"Discipline? Expelled? I'm a party involved?"
Ichiko looked bewildered.
Since Haruko died, nearly half a month has passed. Initially, she was completely depressed at home, avoiding Sento while regretting and crying at home.
Later, after getting revenge on Sento, she lost her goal and spent her days staring blankly at home, not even going to the final exams.
Most of this semester's courses had already failed, and she had no idea what was happening at school.
That classmate pointed outside, "Turn right after leaving the dorm area, everything is written on the bulletin board there, go see for yourself."
For some reason, Ichiko had a bad premonition.
Her steps quickened considerably as she walked out of the dorm.
Kai's lips curved into a smile. She turned back and met the gaze of the small head peering out from the counter.
Since Ichiko came down to the first floor, Emi had been paying attention to this side.
Kai raised an eyebrow at this little loli, then gestured towards Ichiko's direction.
Only then did she step forward, slowly following the latter.
As for Emi, after blinking her eyes a few times in confusion.
She seemed to see someone's shadow in Kai's back.
After much hesitation, she shouted into the lounge, "Auntie Ruan Ruan, I have something to go out for, could you cover for me?"
A kind voice immediately came from the lounge, "Okay, okay, Xiao Ning Ning, you go. If you have something in the afternoon, you don't need to come back. Leave this place to Auntie."
"Thank you, Auntie~"
Emi called out sweetly, ran into the lounge, put on a worn-out coat she found online secondhand, and quickly went out to follow Ichiko and Kai's steps.
The school's major affairs bulletin board is outside the dorm area.
It takes about five minutes to walk there.
Ichiko seeking out Teacher, besides caring and apologizing, also inherently wanted to prove that it was actually Haruko's yandere tendencies that were excessive, not that she couldn't keep an eye on Haruko.
To alleviate the guilt in her heart.
——It's really not that I didn't love Haruko, but Haruko's yandere tendencies themselves were beyond my control.
Thus escaping a responsibility that was hers and yet not hers.
But the closer she got to the bulletin board, for some reason, Ichiko's mood became heavier and heavier.
Her sixth sense told her it was best not to look at this bulletin board.
Ultimately, she still stood in front of the bulletin board, quickly searching for announcements related to Teacher Qin.
When she saw the large characters on that sheet, Ichiko's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Academic fraud, academic plagiarism, expulsion, banned by the academic community..."
The highlights in her eyes gradually diminished, and her lips were still muttering the content of the public notice.
"Teacher Qin plagiarized student Su's thesis, published it in academic journals under her own name, and it received considerable response..."
Following that were examples of several thesis titles.
How could Ichiko not know? Those were the theses she had painstakingly written over the past few months!
Kai slowly walked over from the side, "So it turns out your Teacher wasn't cultivating you at all, but using you to claim your theses as her own."
"First it was your Sister Long, then your Teacher. So much time has passed, Rito Chengzi is already dead, and you're still thinking about those things you're avoiding."
"I really feel it's not worth it for Rito Chengzi."
Ichiko listened to the faint voice by her ear. Kai's originally cheerful, larks-like voice was gradually becoming somewhat suppressed.
It was just like... Haruko about to become yandere!
Suddenly turning around, Ichiko saw that Kai's black eyes seemed to be gradually turning red.
With a "thud", the things she was holding from the dorm suddenly dropped to the ground.
A sense of fear she hadn't experienced in a long time suddenly surged into her heart.
Ichiko shivered, then realized Kai was just calmly looking at the bulletin board from the side.
She hadn't become yandere like Haruko at all.
Just now... was it an illusion?
Right, she's Kai, not Haruko.
A net friend she just met, at most they get along well and have a decent relationship. How could she possibly become yandere?
She's not Haruko.
But Kai's words still directly pierced Ichiko's heart.
"Now, Mimi, do you still think Haruko interfered with your life because of yandere tendencies?"
"Do you remember what I just said? No matter the outcome, Haruko liked you, loved you, which is why she chose to do such extreme and radical things."
"Look, your Sister Long, your Teacher, were all secretly taking action against you."
"Sun Wukong fought the White Bone Demon three times to protect Tang Sanzang, but couldn't gain Tang Sanzang's trust and was finally expelled by him."
"And your yandere little knight? Not only was she not understood by you, not trusted by you, she even died to protect you, yet you are still unwilling to face her, who has already passed away."
Kai glanced at the tree trunk behind Ichiko and smiled, "Your Rito Chengzi, truly died for nothing."
And behind this tree trunk, Emi, holding a book, had lost the highlights in her pupils.
