[The book is a bit of a surprise. Surely, he hasn't been holding that the entire time.

[The image is...nonsensical and baffling, but...somehow too familiar for comfort?]

What is a "youkai"?

1/2

[dresscode]

[ Teacher mode: engage! ]

Youkai are spirits, ghosts, monsters, demons, and other supernatural creatures! They're not just folklore, they're real. They're my students, and... [ say it Haruaki say it ] my f-friends!

[dresscode]

[ ............. ]

JAEGER-KUN, THAT WAS FOUR WORDS!

say it with me now

[wintolive]

[. . .

[Really, he's just stunned.]

You're a teacher?

[That's the surprising part.]

[dresscode]

I am! I may not be very good at my job, and my students' grades might be some of the lowest in the school, and they may bully me because I'm a cowardly easy target, and my pay might constantly be docked, and I might want to run away and hide in my room at least once a day, but I do my best to be a teacher who guides youkai!!!

[ A beat. ]

That was so many words... did I win?

wow...u totally left me hanging on little hat...how soon u forget

[wintolive]

You sound like a terrible teacher. Doing your best isn't enough.

LITTLE HAT IS FOR MUKIS ONLY

[dresscode]

[ He sounds like... Sano-kun...

But with a charm stat of zero!!!

(Editor's note: Sano's charm stat might as well be zero too.)

Anyway, Haruaki's big red eyes are filling with big fat tears. He clasps both hands together as if in prayer, right beneath his chin, and looks at Eren so very pleadingly. ]

Y-you... you think so? It's not enough to do your best...?

IT'S NOT FOR YOU IT'S FOR HIM

[wintolive]

[Why is it looking at him like that?]

Not if you're still bad at doing it.

[dresscode]

O-oh...........

[ Haruaki sinks to the ground. Slowly. Ever so slowly.

When he hits it, he begins crawling away. ]

He's almost like a delinquent... I can't look at him...

[ Who is he talking to? Where is he going?

Underneath whatever surface he can find. A desk. A table. Whatever is there. All 188cm of him is now crouching beneath it, arms wrapped around his knees, miserable. ]

god I forgot this was in my inbox I love him so much

[wintolive]

[You know how like when someone is hiding somewhere in a horror movie and you can just barely see the killer's footsteps from under the table as they slowly approach?]

You don't actually think I can't see you, right?

Don't be so pathetic...

thank god that means i'm doing it right

[dresscode]

[ Haruaki sees those shoes approaching, and– ]

EEEEEEEEEK–!!

[ He shakes his head from side to side, not daring to look at Eren. ]

I can't help it! I have a solid reputation as a cowardly loser! If you have to beat me up, please end it by kicking me in the general direction of Hyakki Academy Island so I at least have a slight chance of landing in my room where I can safely cry before work tomorrow!!

I spoke of him and rng willed it so

[wintolive]

[This guy is annoying. Eren crouches down and grabs him by his collar, pulling him up so he can look him in the eye.]

We're just having a conversation, so why are you hiding under that table like I'm going to hurt you? If I wanted to kick your ass, you'd already be a bloody heap on the ground.

[Is this helping?]

[dresscode]

[ Haruaki's soul begins wafting away from his body. ]

He's worse than a delinquent... I'm gonna diiiiieeeee.......

this is going so badly LMAO

[wintolive]

[What? Is happening? Titan steam? He's not even hurt...]

What's wrong with you? Stand up and quit blubbering.

I'm not going to kill you.

what are you talking about this is going great

[dresscode]

[ The cheer squad in Haruaki's heart is doing its best to rally and give him strength, but this kid is just so intimidating...!!!! ]

That's what the sadists always say before they try to kill me! Please, let me go! I have so much to live for!

[ Citation needed.

Also, all 188cm of him is now wriggling wildly in Eren's grasp like a fish caught on a hook. ]

[wintolive]

[Eren drops him. He's not going to wrestle a fully grown man. Haruaki is clearly terrified of him. It's not like he's a threat.]

How often do people try to kill you? Answer honestly.

[dresscode]

[ Great news! Haruaki brightens right up as soon as he's dropped, as if the whole thing never happened.

Even better news! He doesn't know how to not answer honestly. ♥ ]

At least once a day! If that doesn't happen, it feels like something is about to go wrong in my life!

[wintolive]

[. . .]

Have you considered not acting the way you act?

[dresscode]

[ He does at least have enough shame to un-brighten at that. ]

A person with my sort of personality can't act any other way... This is my fate, Jaeger-kun...

[wintolive]

[He's sure that's probably true. And he sighs - yes, actually sighs.]

Couldn't you at least fight back?

sigh. guy who is fundamentally the opposite of eren

[dresscode]

[ Ah?

Do those words actually provoke a reaction to draw out...

Serious-Aki? ]

Fight back?

[ He shakes his head. ]

I'm a teacher who guides youkai. Even if you think I'm bad at my job... I don't fight against them. Isn't it better to resolve things peacefully?

[wintolive]

It's your own students trying to kill you? I don't get it.

You're telling me you just talk them out of it every single time?

[What the hell kind of world does this guy live in?]

[dresscode]

[ Haruaki laughs, rubs at his head. ]

Usually it's my students... sometimes it's my fellow teachers, or other youkai I know, or other youkai I don't know, but...

[ Oh, his smile is like the sun, isn't it? ]

No matter what, I won't harm anyone.

[wintolive]

How are you still alive?

[The question is genuine, quiet in that way that Eren's been getting lately.]

[dresscode]

[ Well, he's the protagonist of a gag manga, so– ]

I guess I'm just Lucky-Aki!

[ It really is like he forgot their whole altercation ever happened. He brushes off his rumpled shirt and tie and finger-combs his hair back into place as he speaks. ]

Anyway, thank you for not beating me up! You have a threatening aura, but you're a nice kid... not a delinquent, maybe just one of those stoic cool guy types... ah, I bet you're so popular!
