[PS: The story has been released! I’m asking for your support with monthly votes, although truthfully, the timing of this release feels a bit iween…]
“This is Teacher Alex. Starting today, he will join me in guiding your studies. Let’s give him a warm wele.”
Cp cp cp...
Chie Rumiko’s reputation at Hinamizawa School was evidently very high. As soon as her voice fell, the students in the immediately began to appud enthusiastically, their curious gazes fixed on Alex. Alex smiled warmly, nodding to everyone as he quickly sed the .
Just like in the ahere was only one css here, prising students from elementary to high school levels. Due to the limited number of students and only oeacher, Chie Rumiko, dividing them into separate csses wasn’t feasible. So, these children were grouped into one css and taught separately. For Alex, this was a fresh experience; despite having lived two lifetimes, this was his first time participating in a “vilge teag” program.
It didn’t take long for Alex to spot the main characters from Higurashi When They Cry in the css.
The short-haired boy wearing a white shirt was Keiichi Maebara.
Across from him sat Mion Sonozaki, who had long green hair tied in a ponytail and exuded aic, straightforward vibe.
The girl with short brown hair in a white dress was Rena Ryuugu.
were Satoko Houjou, the blosundere loli, and the long, straight-haired, petite Rika Furude.
Mion Sonozaki wasn’t present… which meant… was this still the early stage of the story?
“Alex is my junior and a very taleeacher. He will be teag you math and English. Plus, Teacher Alex has just returned from studying abroad in America. I assure you, his English skills are excellent.”
“Wow!”
Upon hearing this, the children’s eyes lit up with excitement and curiosity as they looked at Alex. The story of Higurashi When They Cry takes p the 1980s, a time when news media and teology were not as developed. Hinamizawa, a small vilge where even visitors from the city were rare, was abuzz at the prospect of someone who had studied overseas ing to teach them.
“Hello, everyone. My name is Alex.”
Seeing that the atmosphere had warmed up, Alex stepped forward and greeted the children.
“I will be teag you math and English here, so I hope to have your cooperation. Additionally, I am also the school doctor and a psychological selor. If you have any worries, feel free to e to me and talk. I’m always here for you.”
“A school doctor? Why isn’t it a beautiful dy in a white coat?”
Hearing this, Keiichi Maebara clutched his head and shouted dramatically, while Rena Ryuugu tilted her head in curiosity and looked at Alex.
“Teacher, what’s a psychological selor? What is it?”
“In simple terms, it’s someone who helps you relieve stress aal burdens.”
With a smile, Alex expio Rena Ryuugu.
“If you’re ever troubled or anxious about something, you e to me, no matter what it is. I assure you, whatever you share will remain a secret betweewo of us. This is the professiohics of a psychological selor.”
“Wow, isn’t that like the psychologists we see in movies?”
Upon hearing this, Keiichi Maebara, who had been shouting moments ago, lifted his head excitedly and looked at Alex as if seeing an FBI agent in real life.
“Isn’t that really expensive?”
“A psychological selor is simir to a psychologist, but ly the same, and no, I don’t charge any fees,” Alex responded without minding Keiichi’s rea. He khat in the inal story, Keiichi was quite a lively character and didn’t seem to have any visible psychological issues. But Alex wasn’t surprised by this; after all, the quiet ones were often the most dangerous when they she more unassuming someone appeared, the bigger the mess they could create. Just look at Rena Ryuugu and Keiichi Maebara—they were perfect examples. Oher hand, Mion Sonozaki, who often seemed the most erratid proo snapping, never actually “broke” and only suffered a breakdowo her sister.
After a brief self-introdu, Chie Rumiko began the day’s lessons. Alex didn’t step in immediately but stood by her side, her teag progress. Since he was new, he didn’t know the students’ levels yet, so he refrained from interrupting and simply watched from the sidelines.
Chie Rumiko uood Alex’s iions well. After she fieag, she had him help tutor the students who hadn’t fully grasped the material. This wasn’t difficult for Alex, so he agreed readily.
Initially, the children were a bit reserved around Alex, but that was no challenge for him. With years of ma experience, he knew how to win people’s favor. Plus, his current charm level was C++, so the children quickly let down their guard around him. They soon found the eacher to be both handsome and amusing, gentle and approachable, nothing like the intimidating figure they had imagihis ged their perception of him quite a bit.
Of course, this was just the initial goodwill. Alex hadn’t learned any entment-type spells, so he couldn’t overly influehe children. In this world, he could only rely on the power of his physical attributes. Fortunately, the system reized the magic he learned in his primary world as part of his abilities, and that was enough for him.
“Ring-ring-ring—”
A brief day quickly passed, and as the school bell rang, the children began to leave. Alex stretched a out a long sigh of relief.
“How was it? Your first day at school? Getting used to it?”
At that moment, Chie Rumiko walked over to Alex, smiling as she asked. Alex nodded in respoo her question.
“Not bad. To be ho, after spending so much time iy, this rural life feels quite refreshing.”
“Maybe it’s like that for someone who just came from the city, but after staying here for a while, it gets b. After all, this is just a vilge with nothing much going on.”
As she spoke, Chie Rumiko waved at Alex.
“Well, I’ll be heading baow… Need any help with anything?”
“No, I wouldn’t want to trouble you, senior.”
Since Hinamizawa was just a small vilge, there weren’t ara houses for Alex to stay in, so he lived at the school. For Alex, this was actually a good thing.
“Alright then, I’ll be going.”
After seeing Chie Rumiko off, Alex returo the school. As soon as he stepped into the hallway, he quickly heard pyful voices ing from the .
As expected, just like in the anime?
With this thought, Alex smiled slightly and walked to the door, pulling it open. Sure enough, inside, Mion Sonozaki, Rena Ryuugu, Rika Furude, and Satoko Houjou were sitting at a desk, looking at Keiichi Maebara with mischievous grins. Keiichi, oher hand, ale-faced, clutg a deck of pying cards as if possessed, trembling all over.
“Demons… You’re all demons…”
“What’s going on? What are you all doing here? Why haven’t you gone home yet?”
“Ah, Teacher Alex!”
Hearing Alex’s voice, everyone quickly looked up at him, and Rena Ryuugu waved at him.
“We’re having a club activity.”
“Club activity?”
“That’s right!”
Mion Sonozaki, with her green ponytail, struck a pyful pose and smiled at Alex.
“It’s a club we formed to prepare for the plexities and dangers of society. Don’t uimate it, Teacher Alex…”
At this point, Mion’s eyes twinkled as if she had thought of something, and a sly smile spread across her face.
“Oh, by the way, why don’t you join us, teacher?”
“Huh?”
