Shio Emi was a little annoyed.
No, she was extremely annoyed.
As a middle school teacher, she had oodles of patience to spare. She would answer the most nonsensical questions from her students. Then, she would explain simple questions over and over until even the least gifted student understood the solution.
Therefore, it was unusual for her to experience the frustration she was feeling.
In truth, it did not have much to do with missing out on something important.
Since she moved to Tokyo, she did not have social engagements. Her entire life revolved around her students and becoming the best teacher possible for the children. However, on occasion, she liked to unwind.
Her teacher had always told her that if she did not have an outlet for her feelings, thoughts and frustrations, she would blow up like a malfunctioning steam boiler.
