After a round of touring, quite a bit of time had passed.
During the tour, Kobayashi Itsuki naturally wouldn't miss any chance to farm treasure chests.
When the kitchen and infirmary were introduced, Kobayashi Itsuki enthusiastically greeted others, loudly introduced himself, and amicably exchanged names.
After the tour, everyone except the teachers still teaching and the children knew a very enthusiastic and courteous male teacher had arrived.
Kobayashi Itsuki also managed to farm five treasure chests.
Although they were all white, this start was especially wonderful.
'Indeed, coming to a Kindergarten was the right choice!'
Kobayashi Itsuki looked at his system panel showing six White Treasure Chests and one green treasure chest, feeling especially happy.
According to the Principal, Futaba Kindergarten currently has three classes.
They are the large Tulip class led by Ageo Masumi, the middle Rose Class led by Matsuzaka Ume, and the small Sunflower Class led by Yoshinaga Midori.
Each class has at least twenty‑something students and at most thirty.
Together, they total nearly a hundred students.
To Kobayashi Itsuki, each of those children is another treasure chest.
Even if only a third of the children give him green treasure chests, that's a sizable number.
Not to mention further development.
Without a Kindergarten setting, it would be almost impossible to have long‑term interactions that raise affection and farm treasure chests.
'I must make the most of this opportunity!'
After another round of touring, Kobayashi Itsuki became familiar with the surroundings and went to the teachers' office.
Kobayashi Itsuki borrowed a towel and bucket, fetched some water, and began cleaning the long‑unused desk.
Fortunately, only a thin layer of dust covered the desk, not really dirty.
He took care of it in no time.
Then Kobayashi Itsuki glanced around the office, picked up a broom, and kept cleaning.
In his previous life, Kobayashi Itsuki was already a tidy person; a clean environment felt comfortable to him.
Moreover, when Yoshinaga Midori and others returned, seeing the cleaner office would subconsciously raise their affection.
After a while of busy work, Kobayashi Itsuki swept and mopped the floor before stopping.
Looking at the much cleaner office, Kobayashi Itsuki sat at his desk to rest.
Taking advantage of the break, Kobayashi Itsuki glanced at his system panel.
Now that he's alone in the office with no surveillance, he can sneakily open a treasure chest to see what he gets.
'Open a White Treasure Chest.'
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have received ¥3,000.]
?!
Seeing the bright string of numbers, Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes lit up.
'Money came out!'
For him now, money could truly solve an urgent problem.
Otherwise, with only a few tens of thousands of yen left on him, he wouldn't last until Kindergarten payday.
He couldn't possibly go to work every day, come back to write, expending both physical and mental energy, and still only eat one meal, could he? He'd wear himself out.
The excitement brought by money was quite exhilarating.
'Open the remaining white treasure chests.'
He silently repeated it in his mind, this time Kobayashi Itsuki chose to open all of them at once.
As the white treasure chests were opened one by one, prompts flashed continuously before his eyes, and system sounds echoed in his ears.
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining Shaving Kit (1 piece).]
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining a box of Instant Noodles (6 packs).]
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining a box of Napkins (3 pieces).]
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining Eraser (3 pieces).]
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining Cartoon Fridge Magnet (2 pieces).]
There were a total of six white boxes, and these were the gains from opening them.
Aside from the money and Instant Noodles which were useful now, the other items weren't of much use.
However, white boxes were no different from getting something for free, so it was better than nothing.
Finally, there was one green box left.
'I hope something special comes out of it.'
Kobayashi Itsuki's eyes held a look of anticipation as he put the other items into the system, murmuring to himself.
'Open the green treasure chest.'
[Ding, congratulations Host for obtaining a Camera (1 piece), and a box of Film (36 exposures).]
'A camera?'
Looking at the camera in his hand, which seemed quite outdated in his eyes, Kobayashi Itsuki felt a bit regretful.
A camera wasn't of much use to him right now; if this draw had been for a phone, that would have been great.
That way, he could have saved an expense.
According to the original body's memories, during this period, ordinary mobile phones cost around 30,000 to 50,000 yen.
To buy the cheapest one would require exhausting all one's family wealth.
"What a pity."
He put the camera away.
When he had time, maybe he could check the price for selling it secondhand.
"Ding dong~ Ding dong~"
The melodious bell rang, interrupting Kobayashi Itsuki's thoughts.
He looked up; the wall clock showed 11:40, it was time for lunch.
"Today, our Kindergarten has a new Physical Education Teacher. Let me introduce you..."
At this moment, footsteps and Takakura Bunta's voice came from outside the door.
"Knock knock knock."
The office door was knocked.
"Teacher Kobayashi, are you in there?"
Kobayashi Itsuki stepped forward and opened the door, "Principal."
Takakura Bunta stood outside the door, and behind him were three young figures.
"Come, come, Teacher Kobayashi, let me introduce you to three colleagues."
"This is Teacher Ageo Masumi from the Tulip class."
Takakura Bunta said with a chuckle, pulling a short-haired figure with a bowed head, resembling a quail, from behind him to stand before Kobayashi Itsuki.
"Hello, Teacher Ageo, I'm Kobayashi Itsuki, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Looking at Ageo Masumi, who was bowing her head and timidly peeking at him from behind her thick, bottle-bottom-like glasses.
Kobayashi Itsuki showed a bright smile and said sincerely.
He understood Ageo Masumi's social anxiety a bit.
Ageo Masumi, like everyone else in the Kindergarten, had a good personality.
The only thing to mention was that she was a bit socially anxious and had a bit of a dual personality.
So, when Kobayashi Itsuki greeted her, he didn't make any gestures like shaking hands.
[Ding, you have met Ageo Masumi, current relationship is white.]
[Congratulations Host, you have obtained White treasure chest *1]
Hearing the system prompt, Kobayashi Itsuki knew it was settled.
"Teacher Ageo is a bit shy, Teacher Kobayashi, please don't mind."
Seeing this, Takakura Bunta quickly explained.
"It's fine, it's fine, I used to be very shy too."
Kobayashi Itsuki said with a chuckle, indicating not to worry.
Upon hearing this, Ageo Masumi secretly glanced at Kobayashi Itsuki again, with a strong sense of being furtive.
After introducing Ageo Masumi, it was Matsuzaka Ume's turn.
This woman, who in the original work always came with her own BGM every time she appeared.
