Chapter 48: Dialogue and Exchange (Part 1)

＊＊＊

Before Satoru could speak, Tiantian stood up calmly, clasped her hands together, and greeted the man in front of her with great tact.

"Gojo-sensei, I'm sorry for the care you and the principal took these days. I feel ashamed for causing such a big loss to the school."

She herself couldn't adapt to the Japanese etiquette of bowing back and forth. Just thinking about doing it made her feel very awkward, so Tiantian changed her bow to clasping her hands together, using this method to express respect for the other party.

In addition, her previous behavior in the game was very serious in reality.

She cut down so many trees.

She didn't know how she would be dealt with in Japan, but in China, she would definitely be held criminally responsible, being arrested and imprisoned for three to five months would be a light punishment.

She didn't know why she was so "throwing a tantrum" in the school and harming the flowers, plants and trees, but they didn't kick her out.

But no matter what, how others treat her was their business. At least, her attitude should not be impolite, nor should it make others feel that she was a hard-working and irresponsible person.

"..."

Satoru hesitated for a while, looking at Tiantian, who was unusually calm and modest in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and observed her carefully.

It's OK, not crazy or irritable, speaking without stuttering, fluent and clear.

Was this epilepsy cured without medicine?

Or did the questioning that time touch the so-called "rules" and gave her an "opportunity" and a turning point?

"So Tiantian is sober now?"

When the man spoke, he spoke in an old anime accent.

His voice was free and unrestrained, and it sounded as good as a two-dimensional voice actor.

"Thanks to everyone, I am sober."

Tiantian smiled and said with a very kind and friendly expression on her face, and her voice was also very steady.

"Do you remember what happened before?"

Satoru watched her call her name fluently, and even said the words classmate and principal, he had already guessed a little in his heart.

"I can't say I remember everything, but I still have a vague impression in my mind..."

Tiantian rolled her eyes and answered fluently.

Then her voice began to slowly become bitter and helpless, and her whole demeanor became depressed and bleak.

"Gojo-sensei, if I did something stupid during this period, although it was not my intention, I will take the responsibility. I'm also willing to negotiate and communicate with everyone, and I will do my best to compensate if I can... I will try to make everyone satisfied."

A set of Chinese traditional "don't hit the wrong person" routines were fully demonstrated on her.

Tiantian thought about her usual way of handling things, as well as the old-fashioned appearance of those old-fashioned people she saw on TV, and she also had two ideas about her current position.

If she wanted to complete the tasks assigned by the system and achieve her goals, she definitely couldn't leave the technical college now.

This group of people who have been wandering between ghosts and gods for many years, for some reason, have taken her in for so long, but she guessed that it must be because of her own ability.

Now was an opportunity to climb up the ladder.

If she could reach a benign cooperation with them and stay in high school, this outcome was the best.

If it really didn't work, she could only think of other ways.

At worst, she could dig a hole or a tunnel near the technical college and come back to take a look from time to time...

Of course, this idea was not very realistic.

The most feared thing at present was that the other party would reveal her true identity and achieve the outcome of 'repatriation'. If so, her determination and her decision would all go to waste.

So her true identity must not be revealed.

Even if it was revealed, she would not admit it even if she gritted her teeth.

One point in her favor was that there was still a Liu Tiantian in China.

Currently, the system had begun to control Liu Tiantian's body and carry out her daily life on her behalf. Even if the country searched for information instantly, the final result could only be a classic philosophical question — "She was not her, she was someone else."

"Compensation? Do you have money? Or can you compensate in other ways?"

Satoru's expression became a little more serious, his voice slightly raised, and his eyes scanned Tiantian from top to bottom, as if questioning her ability to compensate.

"Takana..."

Seeing Satoru's bad tone, Toge seemed a little anxious, but at a loss, he could only look at the two people with a confused look.

Tiantian paused slightly after hearing this, and continued to communicate with Satoru.

"...Gojo-sensei, this is a matter of specific communication with the school at that time, and it's not that I can't accept other forms of compensation. As long as it doesn't involve illegal or disorderly conduct, my attitude will definitely be positive... You also know that my situation is a bit special, right?"

She definitely had money.

The amount of money given to her by the system was not small. If possible, she really wanted to pay it directly, but she certainly couldn't put it out so blatantly, because in this way, foremost, it was hard to explain where the money came from.

"How about this, you go and talk to me, and I'll take you to see the principal later."

Satoru thought about it and said to Tiantian in a flat voice.

"Okay, Gojo-sensei, please step aside for a moment. I'll go change my clothes."

Tiantian nodded to Toge, then got up from the bed and adjusted her nightgown.

"Okay."

Satoru smiled.

She was really awake now. She had a sense of shame. She even remembered to ask him to step aside when changing clothes.

When Tiantian came down from the second floor wearing the daily clothes given by the system, she found Satoru waiting outside the door, and Toge was still in the room.

"Tiantian..."

Toge's eyes lit up when he saw her.

"Tiantian... if you can come back, I'll take you to visit the school."

The boy thought about it and said a little embarrassedly.

The words made Tiantian feel like Jing Ke who wanted to assassinate the King of Qin. Gou Jianli was playing a song for her, "The wind is whistling and the Yishui River is cold. The warrior will never come back once he leaves."

Tiantian: "..."

Tiantian: "...thank you so much, I just need it, I must treat you to a meal later."

She smiled happily, but she was a little skeptical about whether she could come back.

"For dinner, I won't..."

Toge blushed and wanted to refuse when he heard Tiantian politely say that she wanted to treat him to a meal, but before the boy finished speaking, Satoru outside the door was a little anxious.

"Tiantian, please hurry up. The principal will be off work later."

"I'll be right there!"

Tiantian shouted back loudly, turned around and looked at Toge seriously.

"I will definitely treat you to a meal, don't refuse. If you refuse, you will be giving me no face."

Toge: "..."

After saying that, Tiantian hurried out to find Satoru.

As soon as she went out, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"?"

Before Tiantian could react, the scenery in front of her changed.

When she came back to her senses, she found that she and Satoru were no longer in the same place. They actually appeared on the rooftop of a tall building. At a glance, there were only short buildings and dense crowds of people, the bleak wind blew her bones and made her bones creak.

Tiantian: "..."

Although she knew that these people were a bit weird, she didn't expect them to be so weird.

"Sensei, your skills are perfect. You can go wherever you want. You don't even need to buy train tickets. How much money can you save in a year."

Tiantian touched her arm and began to brag about Satoru with a comfortable look.

Then, she looked at Satoru staring at her, not saying anything, just staring at her without any expression.

Tiantian: "..."

A 1.9-meter-tall man staring at her without any expression on his face made her feel a little stressed.

Assuming that neither of them had superpowers, if this 1.9-meter-tall man wanted to do anything to her, he only needed one punch to knock her to the ground.

Soon Tiantian had a bad association in her heart.

"Sensei, don't stand there and say nothing, we have to solve the problem, right? Can staring at me solve the problem?"

Satoru stared at Tiantian for about 30 seconds, which made her feel nauseous, and then she became a little angry.

Satoru: "I just thought of a question before."

The strangely handsome silver-haired man finally spoke thoughtfully. "You say."

Tiantian pretended to listen attentively.

"Once, you ran out of school, went to the night market bar to open a bottle of vodka, and then went out with Yoshino Junpei to eat something... At that time, you spent about 60,000 to 70,000 yen. You actually had money on you."

Satoru said slowly, his eyes gradually drifting back to Tiantian's face.

"I haven't heard that anyone in the school has lost money. This money should be your own, then where did you get this money from?"

Tiantian's face became a little solemn when she heard it.

This loophole was still caught by Satoru.

Seeing that Tiantian didn't answer, Satoru continued to talk.

"When you first came, you only had a set of underwear and a skirt. Where did the cooked food, money, furniture, and the other things that appeared after the mallards were slaughtered come from?"

After the man asked, he tilted his head, crossed his arms, and tapped his arms from time to time, as if waiting for Tiantian to answer him.

"..."

In this situation, Tiantian's brain turned quickly. She was panicked for a moment and thought of a good excuse.

"Gojo-sensei, I am not good at lying. I am an honest man. I don't want to make up more nonsense to fool you. If I do, my conscience will definitely not be satisfied."

Tiantian said seriously, her voice was sonorous and her eyes were upright.

"I can only say that I can't tell you this. This is the rule. If I tell you, I will suffer."

"But I can assure you here that all my things, except for trees and ducks, are not stolen or robbed. They are definitely clean."

"Then I will ask you again."

Satoru heard this and continued to ask.

"I saw at first glance that you definitely have past memories, I don't need to ask about these now, but there is one thing you must answer me."

At this point, his voice was serious and earnest.

"Liu Tiantian, what are you? Have you ever worked at the national level?"

The words were very tactful, asking her in a roundabout way whether she was a sword butterfly.

Tiantian: "..."

What do you think about all day long, a person from a small island country?

Hearing this, her face began to change color.

Then Tiantian frowned, pointed three fingers upward, and spoke loudly.

"Here I swear, I don't."

"If I had ever worked in that field and now came to play you, then my entire family tree would ascend to heaven, and God would let me die a miserable death."

Satoru: "..."

Actually, he didn't want to ask this question, but when he heard Furuya Rei mention what a certain country of rice (China) had done in recent years, he had to be a little wary, and Tiantian's appearance was indeed a little weird.

But he didn't expect Tiantian to answer like this.

For a moment, the man was a little shocked.

I have never heard such a vicious oath in my life.

Good fellow, not only did she die a miserable death, but she even dragged her whole family to heaven.

Seeing how quiet she was now, it turned out that she was still a ruthless person at heart.
