Tachihara Masaaki came back to his senses, looked at Mori Yuki, and tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of his eyes.

"No... cry..." Mori Yuki used her fingers to wipe away the tears that were sliding down Tachihara Masaaki's face.

"Well, I'm sorry, Xiaoxue, it's Mr. Tachihara who is ignorant. I won't make Xiaoxue worry again in the future."

Tachihara Masaaki cried while trying hard to smile at Mori Yuki.

"Cry...Laugh..."

Xiaoxue still finds it difficult to understand why Masaaki Tachihara's smile is uglier than crying. Is it happiness or sadness? She tilts her head and looks at Masaaki Tachihara in confusion, wanting him to explain.

"Ah, human emotions are very complicated. Teacher Tachihara, I am very happy now... very happy... very... happy..."

As he said this, Tachihara Masaaki finally couldn't help it anymore, hugged Mori Yuki and started crying:

"I'm sorry--Yota--I'm sorry..."

...

Tachihara Masaaki cried until late at night.

Finally, Tachihara Masaaki rubbed his eyes, which were already sore from crying, looked at Mori Yuki's clothes that were wet with his tears, and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxue, I stained your clothes. I'll change them for you now. Ah, I feel much better after crying. Thank you, Xiaoxue... Yangtai is right. People can't stay in the same place forever. They have to look forward...

By the way, remember to report safety to Yosano tomorrow. She must have been worried about me during this period. Xiaoxue should also thank Yosano-sensei for teaching you to speak on my behalf during this period of time—"

...

After this, Tachihara Masaaki seemed to have really let go of Yamaguchi Yōta, but when he was resting, he would occasionally look into the void and lose himself in his own memories.

"Xiaoxue's learning ability is really strong! If the war ends, Xiaoxue may be able to go to school like ordinary people and study with her peers if she has the chance~"

"Zhengqiu, reading...?"

Recently, Mori Xue's speaking progress seems to have been stuck at simple syllables and short phrases. He can only utter ordinary short words intermittently, but he has not been able to utter more complex phrases or sentences.

Moreover, for some reason, Mori Yuki could only pronounce the word "Masaaki" very fluently, which made Yosano Akiko a little jealous.

Taking Mori Yuki's learning situation into consideration, Tachihara Masaaki decided to let Mori Yuki slowly get used to speaking short words so that she could express her meaning clearly. When the time is right, Mori Yuki should be able to express herself further.

So during this period of time, Masaaki Tachihara decided to explain to Mori Xue some things that Mori Xue had never been exposed to before, such as "studying" and "campus".

"Yes, studying means that when you reach the right age, you go to a place and study knowledge with a group of people of similar age. This place is called a school, and most people study in school.

But school is not just about studying. There are many things called "societies" in school that are formed by people with similar interests. These people with the same interests will do the things they like together in the clubs. "

"Zhengqiu, club...group?"

"Ah, Yang... Yangtai used to join a gaming club, where a group of people played games together. But Yangtai played more video games. Xiaoxue can try video games when she has the chance. Ah, but don't get addicted! Absolutely! Yangtai was so addicted to games that he dropped out of school just to play games! This is a negative example, Xiaoxue, don't learn from it!

Well, but later on Yang Tai realized his mistake and later joined the basketball club with me.

Xiaoxue, do you know basketball? It is a game in which our team selects five people and the other team selects five people, and they hit a spherical object into the basket of the other team with their hands. Points are scored. At the end of the game, the team with more points wins. It is a sport that tests teamwork.

But there are more clubs than just basketball clubs. There are also sports clubs like football clubs, volleyball clubs, and non-sports clubs like music clubs. They are all fun! If Xiaoxue has the opportunity in the future, she can go to school, join clubs, and there are many interesting activities. This is completely different from Xiaoxue's life~"

Xiaoxue watched Tachihara Masaaki gradually become excited about his future life and nodded heavily.

...

Mori Xue tilted her head and looked at Mori Ogai in front of her and the man next to her who had white beard and hair like an old grandfather.

"Is this the [undead] monster?" The old man stood in the shadows, his face unclear.

"Yes. Mori Xue~ This is the 'Hero of the Far East' - Fukuchi Sakurachi, a big shot that you don't see often~ Come and say hello~"

Mori Ogai called Mori Xue to come forward.

"Humph, how ridiculous! Giving your surname to an Undead monster is really stupid—"

Fukudi Sakura was interrupted by a voice before she could finish her words.

"Grandpa--Grandpa." Sen Xue's cute voice came.

“Puff——”

Mori Yuki's cuteness hits the heart of Fukuchi Sakurachi.

"Hey, Grandpa is here. Your name is - Mori Xue, right? Our lovely Xiao Xue, do you want some candy? It's delicious."

Fukuchi Sakurachi mumbled as he took out a candy from his pocket and gently placed it in Mori Xue's hand.

Mori Xue looked at the small flowers that kept popping up around Fukuchi Sakurachi and prepared to stuff the candy in her hand directly into her mouth.

"Hey wait a minute, Xiaoxue, you have to open the outer packaging of candy and eat it with your mouth~"

Fukuchi Sakurachi said as he opened the candy in Mori Xue's hand, revealing the pink candy inside.

"Come, grandpa will feed you~ah——"

"what--"

Mori Xue obediently opened her mouth and took the candy in Fukuchi Sakurachi's hand.

"Wow, wow, wow~ I've never fed Xiaoxue myself~ Doctor Mori is so jealous~"

Mori Ogai watched the interaction between the two from the side and said pitifully while biting his handkerchief.

"Huh, you still said that a child as cute as Xiaoxue has never even eaten candy. You really know how to educate children."

Fukuchi Sakurachi turned around and looked at Mori Ogai's fake acting, glaring at him fiercely and said.

"Well~ After all, not only are there a shortage of supplies here, but because the war is so intense, even I don't get to see Xiaoxue much now~ But, it's time to get down to business~"

While Mori Ogai complained pettily that Mori Xue didn't come to see him often, he turned the topic to business.

"Hmph, well, even though he's still a child, let me see the 'undead devil'."

Fukudi Yingchi turned around and faced Senxue. As soon as he finished speaking, Fukudi Yingchi suddenly drew out his weapon and turned around to slash at Senxue.
