Chapter 47 Gambling

Director Tsukamoto's words obviously moved several school directors present. Even Sakuragi Takuma, who disliked him the most, did not immediately object.

So Director Tsukamoto struck while the iron was hot: "Personally, I don't want to take the risk of reopening the old school building, but everyone knows the situation of the school. Although Echizen Nanjiro has alleviated financial problems by introducing international students in recent years, But there were too many debts before! It is not easy to turn around. If the old school building is not reopened, the school will not have enough space to accommodate more international students. In addition, the school will not be able to spend the money to buy land for development. …”

"We're tired of hearing these words, Tsukamoto!"

Sakuragi Takuma shouted, "If there is nothing new, there is no need to repeat it! I will only ask you two questions. If your answers satisfy me, it's not that I can't agree with your proposal."

"Then I'm all ears." Director Tsukamoto said.

"The two housemasters that Echizen Nanjiro was looking for before are probably current students of Dehong High School. If the curse of the old school building really revives and they die inside, what are you going to do?"

"I guarantee that even if they die in the old school building, no one will pursue this matter."

Director Tsukamoto said categorically that it was because Echizen Nanjiro had told him about the family situation of Kobayashi Shinichi and Shinozuka Kaoru before.

The several school directors present were not fools, and they naturally understood the implication of Director Tsukamoto’s words.

"That's best. Then the second question is, if they really die inside, it proves that the curse of the old school building has really revived, then what should we do next? Don't say such stupid things as taking it one step at a time. I want it. It's the solution! Even if those two people died, their families would not pursue the case, but the people from the county police's special section were not just decorations! If someone died, they would not be able to hide it. If the situation was serious, the school would be locked down. What should I do when the time comes?”

"If this is really the case, then just dedicate the old school building to the Oxian Shrine. They have wanted it for a long time, right?"

"Absolutely not! Priest Saruta, the head of Oxian Shrine, is a cannibal who eats people without spitting out their bones. If you dedicate the land of the old school building to him, he will not give you any favor in return!"

Before Sakuragi could think of a reply, Ito Masaru objected.

"I don't agree with this either. The Oxian Shrine has always wanted that land, but it has never been able to get a cent."

Toshihiko Kurachi burped and said, "If I just give it to him like this, I might as well close the school. Anyway, we can't let that guy Saruta take advantage!"

Sakuragi Takuma smiled half-heartedly and said, "Tsukamoto, listen to everyone's opinions. I'm not the only one who opposes you this time."

"It cannot be destroyed or established. This land has been dragging down Dehong High School for too long."

Director Tsukamoto said: "If the curse does not revive but is completely silent, then there is no need to discuss what will happen next. But if the curse revives, it is the best way to solve it by dedicating it to Oxian Shrine. Everyone is old, Why bother with any more quarrels? If we get rid of this burden, the school will be able to develop more easily."

"But we can't let us suffer."

"Well, if things really develop for the worst, I, Tsukamoto Eiji, will take over all the school shares in their hands. What do you think?"

"Hmph! I thought you were so arrogant. It turns out you want the shares in our hands!"

Sakuragi Takuma was furious.

"But if it comes to that, it's not impossible to ask for shares."

But the old man then said, "But I don't like your gambling method very much. It's boring. How about we have a more interesting way of living alone?"
