"Sensei?" asked Chiri. "Is it true that, 'The more you know, the more you realize how little you know'?"

"I believe so," Nozomu said. "That's a wise proverb, Miss Kitsu."

"In that case," Chiri said, "although you claim to be qualified to be our teacher? In reality, either you're stupid, or else you're in a state of denial over your self-apparent lack of qualifications."

Nozomu opened and closed his mouth a few times. Then he sadly pulled out his suicide kit.

"Do you enjoy sending him into despair?" Kaere asked Chiri.

"It wouldn't be proper if I didn't," Chiri said.
