I don't have much power left... but I'll help you as much as I can. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. I'm not human... but I'm still technically your teacher.

Ah no. I'll hand you my Yorishiro. But...my revenge will be utilizing the P.A System to tell the whole school what I already know. So if I were you I'd give me something to sink my teeth into. But it would also be funny if you don't. HA HA HA HA. HAAAH
Tsuchigomori is a supernatural, masquerading as a middle school teacher in Kamome Academy. He is Kou's homeroom teacher and teaches biology. His real identity is School Mystery Number 5, the 4PM Bookstacks' curator. He might not have been the original curator for the mystery, as he notes any curator who tampers with future events would be removed. He admits to adopting a human disguise to circulate his own rumor in order to stay on the Near Shore.
He has been teaching at Kamome Gakuen for a long time, even back in 1969. His hair looked different in the past and his public persona was more in-line with his real personality. Then, he was the homeroom teacher of a peculiar student. He did his best to provide guidance to and looked out for the student to no avail. When the student managed to change his own future, it shocked Tsuchigomori deeply and forever changed his yorishiro as a result.
