A phoenix Obsession

"Alright, are you ready to begin?" Mokou asks.

"Yes, teach!" the man raises his hand enthusiastically.

A few days had passed and the two are meeting up at Bamboo Forest (despite trying to keep it hidden from the princess, the man suggest that the two still meet up here). Mokou had brought the man to a place somewhat secluded, a secret place that she can call her own. A couple walks from here and they could find her home. A simple wooden home. But then again, how many people would be able to traverse here? Practically zero (except for some special individuals). Mokou had set up the place, making a small clearing so that the two would have a decent place to begin their activities. It was hard at first, because the bamboo here are different from the usual bamboo. The rate of their growth is mystifying, the bamboo would grow immediately after it was cut down. However, Mokou already had plans on how to counteract that. How would she do it? Well, that's an immortal secret. So, she brought over some stones so that the man could sit down. It's impolite for the guest to sit on the grass like that.

Also, you might have heard that man had called her teach. Well, that's because of the outfit that Mokou is wearing right now: A prescription-less glasses rest on her face, her shirt is now added with a red tie with white outline and her hair is tied to a singular ponytail, instead of having some strands strewn around, that easily reveals her nape. Behind her, a simple blackboard (that Keine had lend her) and chalks (provided by Keine as well). On her hand, a bamboo cane, snugly rested there. There is a reason for this change of appearance. Mokou recalls back to a few days ago,

It is night at the Human Village. After agreeing to help the man with his love life, Mokou decided to meet up with Keine. She had no experience in teaching anyone, however, she knows someone that does. Not to mention, it has been a while since Mokou last saw her. So, she walked to the direction of that person's home: a school. This one school has been a learning institute for the young. For the people of the village. After all, it won't do any good if the people have no literacy and basic arithmetic (something she heard from the Heida said). Sometimes, she even saw that some fairies join in as well. Surprisingly, the parents seem to not mind them as much, as fairies are usually generally harmless. Not to mention, fairies in the first place never had any intention to hurt anyone, they only seek one thing: fun. Maybe the pranks could be regarded as harmful, but their intentions had always been pure. Although, a certain someone from the Heida is not fond of it, but she let it go, as she trusted Keine judgement. She looks around the usual spot and there it is, the light is still on. That means the(a) teacher is still inside. Knowing this, Mokou walk inside.

Inside, she walks a couple corridor and is greeted by a room: a break room. The only room that the light is on. Without knocking, Mokou opened the door.

"Keine, I'm coming in," Mokou announced.

"Hm? Oh, Mokou, sorry, but I'm a bit preoccupied right now. Would you mind waiting for a bit?" she said, currently sitting, in front of her is a set of paper and a small red brush. It looks like she was grading tests.

"Don't worry. Waiting is an immortal abundance," she joked. Mokou finds that one spot that she usually sits whenever she came over and waited for the teacher to finish her business. Not long after, Keine placed the brush down and slump down on the small table.

"Ahh~ it's done~" she breathed a sigh of relief. As if on cue, Mokou walked over to the teacher, she placed her hand on her head.

"Great work as always, teach," she moved her hand on the teacher's head.

"Thank you~ At least someone appreciate what I do~" Keine said in a sing-song manner, "Oh, where are my manners?" she sits upright and coughed, "Ehem, what is it that you need, Mokou?"
