Chapter 39 The road is long and long
"Eh?" Why is there a child here? Such beautiful eyes... Are they colorful?
Huh? Wait, this kid is a key character in the plot?!
Aoki Teruo originally thought that Kokushibo was looking for him for something important, but looking at the situation, it seemed that something was wrong.
As soon as he entered the door, Douma looked at the people and things inside excitedly.
How come this is just an ordinary person? There is no ghost at all.
Could he be a more powerful ghost than this six-eyed ghost? He has completely covered up the external characteristics of a ghost.
Yes, that's right, that's for sure.
"Lord Aoki, I eradicated a cult."
Aoki Teruo raised his eyebrows and commented objectively, "Well done."
"Who is this child?"
All three pairs of Kokushibo glanced at Douma, "He is the leader of that evil cult."
"What?" Teruo Aoki looked at the boy in surprise and shock.
A child... is the leader of a cult? Should we say that he is indeed a key figure in the plot?
"The cult was founded by his parents to extort money, and he was also used."
"Because he has been putting himself in the position of the Son of God for a long time, he is different from ordinary children."
"So, please let the adults decide how to deal with this special child."
Teruo Aoki frowned and thought, this is not easy to deal with, let me think about who is the most idle recently.
No misery? Not reliable.
Tamayo? Working every day.
Mingnu? It doesn't seem to work.
Me? No, no, no, that's even more impossible.
After thinking about it, I found that there were no ghosts or humans who could take care of children.
"In that case, let's take him to the teacher to learn some knowledge first."
Aoki Huisheng held his forehead and spoke softly.
"Yes!" Then, Kokushibo said to Douma, "Follow me."
"Okay Mr. Ghost!"
In the silence of the two of them, no, Kokushibo just remained silent, they passed through several buildings and finally arrived at the destination.
Kokushibo walked in directly with Douma, and when he saw the teacher ghost, he pointed at Douma.
"Lord Aoki asked you to teach him."
"That's... okay." What can I teach such a young child? Forget it, let's just take it one step at a time.
The teacher wiped the non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead, and felt a little uneasy when he looked at Douma's weird (false) smile and colorful eyes.
Nothing should happen, right? No, I'm a ghost, how can anything happen?
"By the way, the adults asked you to teach him well and follow our basic education."
Fortunately, Kokushibo still has some conscience and set a direction for the teacher ghost.
After saying this, he left without looking back, leaving Douma alone here.
"Hello, Mr. Ghost, what do you want to teach me?"
Douma looked around at the place that looked like a folk school, and asked the teacher ghost standing in front.
The teacher was also a little curious about the child. Judging from his behavior, he didn't act like a child at all.
Can he say that it is worthy of being sent by that adult? Even the child he found is so amazing.
In order not to disappoint that adult's expectations, I must teach him well.
The teacher secretly encouraged himself, isn't it just teaching children? It's not difficult at all.
"Have you ever learned to read and write?"
So the teacher ghost showed a smile that he thought was very harmonious.
"No." I've only studied Redemptionists.
"Well, from now on I will teach you from scratch."
"Ok!"
Time passed quickly, and Douma's learning ability was simply amazing. It only took him one month to learn to read and write.
Although he is a little curious, it does not prevent the teacher from thinking that he is excellent.
Even the teacher was amazed at him and reported the matter to Teruo Aoki.
"Very good." Could this person be a genius? How can a child learn so quickly?!
Obviously, Teruo Aoki, who has lived for hundreds of years, also felt it was incredible, but at the same time he also felt it was reasonable. After all, he was a person who had once confirmed his identity as the Son of God, and he was also an important character in the plot.
In the days that followed, the teacher ghost was mainly responsible for teaching Douma folk laws and ways of survival.
Just when the teacher thought that future teaching would go smoothly, he was stumped when it came to teaching others the ways of the world.
He, the teacher, discovered that this child had no idea about the ways of the world. No wonder the adults were so cold to him, it turned out that he was hated!
Douma blinked his big eyes, his eyes were clear, "Is there anything wrong with the way I speak?"
"This is a way to make others like you. You don't want to be hated, right?" The teacher stroked his forehead with a constipated expression.
"Being hated? Who hated me?" Douma was at a loss and asked with a confused look on his face.
No one here hates me! Everyone is so nice to me! What is this ghost talking about?
The teacher ghost quickly waved his hands and said, "That's not what I meant. No one hates you now." That shouldn't be the case, right?
"Then I don't need to learn these things." Douma said as a matter of course: "There is no point in learning this."
Teacher ghost: “…”
After failing to do anything with Douma, the teacher ghost immediately found Teruo Aoki to explain the situation.
"You have to make sure he doesn't show any problems on the surface. As for how to do it, I trust you!"
These were Teruo Aoki's original words. At the end he patted the teacher on the shoulder and told him to cheer up.
The teacher agreed with a wry smile, "I'll do my best."
The road ahead is long and arduous. Teaching and educating children is a long and arduous task.
Even though we know that the kid has mental problems, the boss has already said that people should not be able to tell that he has problems, and it is up to him to decide what to do next.
With his many years of experience in teaching and raising ghosts, this will definitely not be a problem for him!
Time flies, and the teacher spent five years to finally educate Douma to the point where there is no problem with him.
For five years, the teacher's life was extremely difficult, and each day felt like a year. The hardships he experienced are beyond words.
The same question was asked over and over again, and Douma was able to give a surprising answer every time.
The teacher suspected that the child did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
Today is the day when Douma graduates from basic education. As long as he finishes answering these scrolls that contain various questions, he can leave here.
As for where to go after leaving, it depends on how Teruo Aoki arranges it. The teacher doesn't want to know where Douma is going at all.
This is the most talented child he has ever taught, but also the most difficult and the child he least wants to teach!
"Are you ready?"
It was still the same house where Kokushibo brought Douma to find the teaching ghost for the first time.
The teacher ghost and Douma both had serious expressions and were eagerly waiting.
After the teacher distributed the examination papers, as soon as the word "Start!" was uttered, Douma took out a brush and began to write quickly.
The teacher had taught him these questions countless times in the past five years, and he was already familiar with the standard answers.
Even though he didn't agree with the teacher's words, in order to leave here, he had to go against his heart and write something he didn't agree with.
As night fell, candles were already lit in the house, emitting a warm orange-yellow light.
Douma let out a long breath and slowly put down the brush. Next, it was up to the teacher to judge.
After handing in the book, he sat quietly, anxiously waiting for the result.
"Congratulations, you have an excellent grade, you can leave now."
"Go back to your room first. I'll take you to see Master Aoki tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Great!
