Chapter 3 I Suffer From Severe Selective Mutism
New Teacher (1)

Mr.Y seemed to be in his 40's and be the oldest teacher of all of the 5th grade homeroom teachers. But he insisted that he was 28.
He called children's names without honorifics. Although I had been firmly taught not to call children's names without honorifics in the previous school, I was used to be called that way then.
