"The cafeteria is closed..."
Because they were caught by the doctor doing hard labor in the infirmary, and even though they were not asked to do anything, they still stayed in the infirmary to take up space, Hongxia and Deng didn't eat lunch and ate a full meal while breathing the virus-filled air...
Well, it's just an exaggeration. In fact, these two girls are starving now. They went out in a hurry today and didn't have breakfast. Apart from some snacks they got from the doctor, they can be said to be on a diet schedule... but it's a super unhealthy one.
"The store... is closed too, Kita, what should we do?"
Deng looked at Kita, who also had a confused look on his face, with some worry. He couldn't possibly trouble the doctor who was already extremely busy, right?
"Let's ask Xiangzi or Aine for some snacks," Kita scratched his head and was about to take a light and go to their class to beg for food before the lunch break was over.
However, since neither Aine nor Shoko was around, Kita could only get some information from classmates who seemed to know the truth.
“I heard that Aine-san suddenly had a lot of work to do, and she was asked by the student council president to work on it. Her office is empty, and it’s almost uncertain whether she will have classes this afternoon…”
"Shoko-san? She seems to have not appeared since lunch break. I remember the last time I saw her, she was standing at the entrance of the infirmary with second-year student Yamada Ryo."
But there was also good news. Kita shamelessly told the monitor of Class B that he was actually there to beg. The guy turned out to be a good person and shared a lot of food and drinks with the two hungry girls.
So after thanking him very sincerely, Kita took the lamp to the corridor between the two teaching buildings and started eating - soda water and fresh oranges, as well as the recently popular fried rice noodles and egg rolls. They were a bit dry but very delicious. If you chew them for a while, the gaps between your teeth will be filled with these sweet and sticky things.
"So boring...Does Deng want to say something?"
Actually, there is nothing much to say. These two young ladies sleep in the same bed together every day, and they have already said everything before going to bed.
So the two of them could only eat with eyes wide open...
hum-
A piercing sound irritated Xiduo's ears. It seemed like the school radio had just been replaced? Why was it still playing in such a retro quality?
"Dear students and teachers, this is the Haneda Private Academy radio station. This is the first broadcast of November. I am Toyokawa Shoko, your announcer."
"I'm Chihaya Aine, the announcer for this event~"
The sound quality is really good. It seems that the buzzing just now was just two unskilled novice announcers debugging the channel.
"Saki-chan...and Anon-chan?"
Deng forgot to chew for a moment, and Penguin's single-threaded little head couldn't think of it, but he couldn't imagine that these two people who usually had nothing to say to each other would now get together to be announcers.
"Today's broadcast mainly includes (*flips the script*)... the announcement of the closure of the school due to the flu, a message from Dr. Kashiwa Miki, the temporary administrative agent, and a song performed by the off-campus band, Wu Ci You Ci."
There was a very obvious sound of people standing up, moving chairs, and sitting down. It seemed that the new equipment of the radio station was too good at picking up sound.
"Good afternoon everyone, I'm Kashiwa Miki, the temporary administrative agent of Hanegaoka Private Academy."
"It's the doctor's voice... Yawn!" Deng stood up excitedly, but sneezed involuntarily, and the egg roll in his mouth sprayed all over the floor. Deng regretfully began to feel in his pocket for a tissue.
Kita also cooperated by wiping the snack crumbs off the floor, while listening to the magnetic voice, not wanting to cause trouble to others, especially the students on duty.
"In view of the health and safety situation in Haneda after the beginning of the flu epidemic this year, I have decided to terminate the full-time teaching activities currently underway this semester."
"I made this decision based on principle..."
The following words were probably just some formalities. The main content was actually an announcement that Yuqiu would be on holiday indefinitely until the Education Department or the Health Department issued instructions regarding this flu.
"...All teachers and students are requested to leave the school before 3:00 p.m. today. Sanitation work can be done after returning to school. Everyone's safety is the top priority... This is the first part of my statement."
Are there any experts?
Is the doctor going to resign?
Who took us out early? Who leaked the test questions to us?
"Chihaya Aine-san will take over the second part. My throat is about to smoke (*sound of chairs being moved as someone else takes over*)... cough cough cough, can you hear me?"
Of course you can, so please don't waste your time, Chihaya Aine-san. I'll be waiting for you if you want to clean up after eating or whatever.
"I've looked through the financial reports from previous years. Under my leadership, Yuqiu has achieved an exceptionally high rate of return, the highest in thirty years. Our students ranked top in the most recent district exam, and everything is thriving."
"But I found that Yuqiu has changed. Compared with when I first joined this big family, the changes are really great."
"Everyone smiles less. Every day is busy with classes and studying. The bread in the canteen is always out of stock, and the extracurricular books in the library are gathering dust..."
"I know this might be the so-called price, but I don't like this price... Maybe as the instigator, I have no right to say such things?"
"In any case, Haneda has already realized a profit of over 500 million yen. This money is now sitting safely in the bank, waiting to be mobilized when we need it... In fact, I'm about to mobilize it."
"I've contacted a major private hospital in the city. For the next two weeks, every student who has the flu, or their parents and siblings, can get one discounted visit at a designated hospital with their Hanaoka student ID. After medical insurance reimburses, any expenses you still need to pay for, or any medical procedures not covered by insurance (excluding cosmetic procedures), up to 300,000 yen will be reimbursed by the school. The remaining expenses will be discounted by 20%... I'll leave that aside for now; I'm still negotiating."
"Some people think that this 500 million yen must be used to fill her hole, but I want to tell her through my actions that I will use this money to protect the students' promising future lives and health, as well as the few remaining smiles."
"I saw a movie with a classic line: Some birds cannot be caged, because every feather on their body shines with the brilliance of freedom."
"You are the free birds. You should fly to the free blue sky. I like you kids who are impossible to control and sometimes make me mad."
"But as a principal who could be fired at any moment, I'm like a birdbath that doesn't move. There's only so much I can do."
After a while of being busy, the caller's voice was clearly changed, and Toyokawa Shoko's voice, which was different from Aiyin's, was cold and sharp.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Kashiwa was a little emotional and left the broadcast station temporarily. I would like to take this opportunity to say something to him on behalf of myself and all the students of Yuqiu—"
"Doctor, thank you for liking us. We like you too."
"I heard that Teacher's Day in China is September 10th, and today is November 1st. So please forgive me for being fifty-three days late in sending you my best wishes (*switch to Chinese*)... ahem—"
To be honest, Xiangzi's language talent is not that good, but it is his clumsy Chinese that ignites Quan Yuqiu's emotions.
How many children from poor families were saved from this flu, which was more severe than in previous years, because of Kashiwa Sanhui's insistence?
How many children have been able to continue their studies because Kashiwa Sanhui forcibly increased the scholarship by more than three times?
It is unknown, maybe a lot or maybe just a few... These children only know that this school doctor from a foreign country, the principal who came to power inexplicably, has done a lot for them.
Truly shouldering the responsibilities of an adult.
Yuqiu didn't have much money, nor did he have strong connections or teaching staff, but at least they were united enough - a unity that could last for at least three classes of students.
From this moment on, for at least the next three years, Yuqiu will be a first-class school that can compete with Yueminomori.
The cadence of Shoko Toyokawa's Chinese classmate in Class 1B of Senior High School, which she speaks in such a stupid and foolish manner, is a declaration of this fact.
"Doctor Ke, I like you."
