Chapter 46
The day after the Tanabata Festival, Thursday the 8th, has been decided as a "special school closure".
This day was an important day for everyone at K Elementary School to mourn for Teacher Suzuki, who passed away the day before.
Since the following day, Friday the 9th, was "Foundation Day", the company was closed until Monday the 12th.
The principal was away from school the whole time to attend Teacher Suzuki's funeral ceremony.
During that time, the vice principal was protecting K Elementary School as the school's acting chief executive.

Teacher Suzuki's funeral was held peacefully...she was cremated and then buried in the graveyard of "D Temple" in City A, which was the teacher's last place of work and also the teacher's hometown.
The school principal, who attended the funeral, suddenly died of a myocardial infarction a few days after the funeral due to the worsening of his chronic diabetes and the stress he had endured. It was as if he was following the fate of Teacher Suzuki.
With the sudden passing of a teacher who was deeply familiar to the students, the entire K Elementary School was filled with indescribable anxiety and an uncertain sense of fear.
As the new principal, the principal of "A Elementary School," which was Teacher Suzuki's new assignment, will be specially assigned to K Elementary School.
This principal was actually Teacher Suzuki's former homeroom teacher during her elementary school days, and was also Teacher Suzuki's most respected teacher.
For K Elementary School, where the emotional wounds of all students and staff have not yet healed, there was no one more suitable to be the new principal than this person.
Principal Nakano has loved and doted on Teacher Suzuki like his own child. When he took up his post at K Elementary School, he would send "cheers of encouragement" to the exhausted children and teachers at every morning assembly. He saved the children and teachers at K Elementary School with his gentle gaze and the same deep love and compassion he had when raising Teacher Suzuki.
As expected, it was Principal Nakano. Teacher Suzuki, who was also a person of character, trusted him the most, and for many years, she entrusted him with her life with peace of mind.
The children and teachers who felt the new principal's ability and "absolute value" as human beings gradually healed their emotional wounds... little by little, and they... They were able to return to their normal daily lives.
