"Yes, I'm Nohara Misae. Shin-chan has caused you trouble."
[Ding! You have met Nohara Misae. Current relationship is white.]
[Congratulations to the host for acquiring White treasure chest * 1.]
"Mrs. Nohara, you're too kind. Shin-chan is a very well-behaved child."
With that, Kobayashi Itsuki pointed to the side.
"I saw you rushing over earlier. Why don't you sit down, have some water, and rest for a while?"
"But..."
Nohara Misae hesitated.
"It's alright. You must be very tired, aren't you?"
Kobayashi Itsuki said with a chuckle, actively pushing the bicycle and walking towards the office.
Nohara Misae quickly followed. To be honest, riding such a long distance and rushing over had truly exhausted her.
If he could rest for a bit, that would naturally be for the best.
Walking towards the office with Nohara Misae, Kobayashi Itsuki already had an idea in mind.
To gain favor with leaders, one needs to work hard and perform well.
To gain favor with colleagues, one needs to get along well with them.
To gain favor with children, just make them happy.
Now, the appearance of Nohara Misae gave him another option.
To gain favor with parents.
Kobayashi Itsuki remembered that in his previous life, when he was a student and made a mistake, inviting his parents meant a good beating when he got home.
But if he was praised by the teacher during a parent-teacher conference, it would be different; even his impression of the teacher would be very good.
Kobayashi Itsuki wanted to try and see if this would work.
Anyway, there was no cost involved.
Leading Nohara Misae to the office, he said, "Mrs. Nohara, please have a seat. I'll get you some water."
"No, no need to be polite. You're already going to too much trouble."
"It's fine, it's fine."
Kobayashi Itsuki waved his hand, poured a cup of warm water into a disposable paper cup, and handed it to Misae.
Then he took his satchel and pulled out a bag of Senbei from it.
These were opened from a treasure chest yesterday, zero cost.
Just as he was taking out the Senbei, Kobayashi Itsuki pretended to accidentally shake his hand, and a pile of small trinkets spilled out of his satchel.
Erasers, small stickers, small brooches... there were quite a few such items.
Seeing this, Nohara Misae quickly reached out to help.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Nohara, to make you see this."
Kobayashi Itsuki also tidied up, speaking to Nohara Misae.
"Oh, these things..."
Nohara Misae looked at them, noticing that many seemed to be styles children would like, and was a little puzzled.
"I prepared them myself for the children. It's my first time being a teacher, and I don't know if I'm doing well, so I want to try my best to make the children happy."
Kobayashi Itsuki said with a smile, putting everything away, and then sat down.
The rest was simple.
How to make parents like him? Things like academic performance at the Kindergarten certainly didn't need to be considered for now.
Then, what was left was naturally to praise her child.
Although Kobayashi Itsuki had only been here for a day, in his previous life, he had watched Shin-chan grow up!
He knew many things very clearly.
"Shin-chan is a lively and adorable child..."
"His seemingly mischievous behavior is actually a unique expression of curiosity and exploration of the world..."
"He possesses a rich imagination that most children don't have..."
Combining these with classic teacher comments from his previous life, he managed to utterly charm Nohara Misae.
Normally, Nohara Misae was used to Shin-chan always being naughty and causing her trouble.
Today, Kobayashi Itsuki's intense praise gave her an unprecedented and novel experience.
Amidst Kobayashi Itsuki's subtle yet unique compliments, Nohara Misae laughed continuously, feeling exceptionally happy.
In this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, after about ten minutes.
Kobayashi Itsuki's ears once again heard the system prompt.
[Ding! Nohara Misae's favorability has increased.]
[Ding! You have received 1 Green treasure chest.]
'It worked!'
Hearing the prompt, Kobayashi Itsuki's heart was filled with joy. He had only intended to try, but he didn't expect it to actually succeed as he had imagined, and in such a short time!
Indeed, no parent can refuse a teacher praising their child.
With the treasure chest in hand, Kobayashi Itsuki checked the time; it was almost time.
"Mrs. Nohara, please stay seated. I need to prepare for class shortly..."
"Oh dear, it's already so late."
Nohara Misae looked at the clock on the wall and suddenly realized.
"I'm so sorry for taking up so much of Teacher Kobayashi's time. I should head back too."
Himawari-chan was still waiting for her at home; such a young child couldn't be left alone for too long.
Kobayashi Itsuki quickly stood up, escorted Nohara Misae to the door, and then watched her cycle away.
Turning around to close the Kindergarten gate, Kobayashi Itsuki felt very happy; this experiment was a perfect success.
With Nohara Misae's example, there might be similar opportunities in the future.
'I wonder if I'll get a chance for home visits...'
Kobayashi Itsuki thought silently to himself, then returned to the office.
Although he was delayed a bit by Nohara Misae, gaining a Green treasure chest was quite profitable.
Back in the office, Kobayashi Itsuki tidied up his desk and then began to write diligently.
Opening treasure chests and writing were Kobayashi Itsuki's most important tasks now.
After more than an hour, perhaps because he was in a good mood, his thoughts flowed like a spring.
He directly churned out over a thousand words.
It wasn't until the melodious bell rang in the Kindergarten that Kobayashi Itsuki snapped back to reality.
"Teacher Kobayashi, can I see it now?"
The sudden voice behind him startled Kobayashi Itsuki. He turned his head and looked at Ageo Masumi, who was full of anticipation, and said faintly, "Teacher Ageo, when did you arrive?"
"You didn't make a sound..."
"I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
Seeing Kobayashi Itsuki say this, Ageo Masumi looked at him cautiously.
"Although it's a bit embarrassing to admit, yes, a little."
Kobayashi Itsuki nodded, feigning seriousness, "So, Teacher Ageo, how do you plan to compensate me?"
"I... I don't know. How about Teacher Kobayashi decides..."
Ageo Masumi said timidly, looking very easy to bully.
"In that case, then help me finish these things, but don't drop crumbs on the manuscript, okay?"
Kobayashi Itsuki pointed to the many snacks he had taken out earlier on the desk, saying with a smile.
Hearing Kobayashi Itsuki say this, Ageo Masumi, no matter how slow, knew that Kobayashi Itsuki was joking.
She nodded repeatedly, quickly promising, "I promise I won't drop anything on it, and I won't scare you next time."
"Oh, Teacher Ageo, you're in the office? I thought you went to the restroom."
Matsuzaka Ume walked in from outside at this moment, speaking to Ageo Masumi.
But upon seeing Kobayashi Itsuki, her gaze immediately became a little strange.
"Teacher Ageo seems to have a very good relationship with Teacher Kobayashi."
Hearing Matsuzaka Ume's teasing words, Ageo Masumi immediately became a little nervous, holding the manuscript and whispering.
"I, I'm reading Teacher Kobayashi's manuscript."
Matsuzaka Ume heard this and only then remembered this matter.
