"I've often wondered why you decided to became a teacher," Chie said to Itoshiki. "You certainly don't seem to enjoy the work— not that you enjoy doing anything."

"That's true," Itoshiki said forlornly. "I only became a teacher for the money."

Chie blinked. "What!? Teaching is one of the most poorly compensated careers in modern society!"

Itoshiki shrugged. "Well, I never claimed to have much intelligence or common sense."

Chie sighed. "Sometimes I wonder why I ever bother trying to talk to you."

"I never thought you were that smart, either," Itoshiki said bluntly, just before he was severely beaten.
