I work as a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 116 The wayward young lady, the puzzle of the flute department
What's wrong with the flute section?

Obviously, they had unified their voices before and set the goal of the national gold medal together, so what problems can arise now?

When hearing this news from Shiori Shinohara, Tetsufumi Hirakawa really thought about this issue seriously.

Moreover, on Saturday afternoon, I also observed it carefully.

As for whether he saw anything...

It can only be said that there is a vague feeling, but he may need to confirm what it is.

Miss Shinohara really left him a problem - although it seems that this student probably knows what the problem is, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

But, if she didn't intend to tell him, Hirakawa Zhewen didn't intend to just ask.

"Since Shinohara-san knows what the problem is, there is no need for the teacher to spend time looking for the problem"—this kind of words are a bit irresponsible.

Because that's his job, not the student's job.

And just like the girl said, he is now making up for his mistakes.

The most important thing is, this is actually the little capriciousness of this young lady, right?

Obviously you can tell him the answer directly, but if you don't do it, you must personally perform the duties of a teacher.This is obviously the waywardness of this young lady.

Under the sunset after school that day, the girl who said "I'm angry because of Shiori" was indeed angry because of his previous inaction.

Therefore, in order to appease this "angry lady" and satisfy this student's self-willedness, let's work hard to fulfill the duties of an instructor.

Sunday afternoon, still rainy.

The hazy rain curtain blocks between people, blurring the distance.

And in the mist shrouded in light gauze, Hirakawa Zhewen saw a slightly familiar figure at the school gate.

He stepped forward.

-

Ogasa Suzuki raised her left hand and glanced at the lady's watch on her wrist.

It's 13:46 now.

From here to the performance department, there is no time at all.

It was nice to trot all the way here and not be late.

Thinking of this, Suzuki Ogasa's pace, which would always bring a splash of water with a single step, finally calmed down.

Feeling happy, she hummed a song softly.At the same time, the left hand grasped the umbrella pole, and the two hands began to turn the umbrella handle.

The canopy began to spin.

In sight, drops of transparent water were thrown from the edge of the umbrella, spread out in all directions, crossed a parabola, and fell to the ground.

To the sound of the dripping rain, Suzuki Ogasa hummed a nice melody under the umbrella.

The sound of rain and the melody are intertwined, spreading out from the world under the umbrella.

Entertain yourself.

It wasn't long before--

"Teacher Ogasa."

A young man's greeting suddenly sounded in his ear.

"..."

As a result, the humming melody and the rapidly spinning umbrella surface all stopped in an instant, and the water droplets that originally jumped out along the edge of the umbrella drew an arc for the last time.

Ogasa Suzuki raised her umbrella, followed the raindrops flying in a parabola, and landed at the feet of a man about two meters away.

The water droplets scattered, scattering smaller water droplets.

She looked up.

"Teacher Hirakawa?"

She blinked in surprise.

"Ah."

With a polite smile, Hirakawa Tetsubun glanced at the umbrella that was no longer turning, and took a step closer. The distance between them became one meter from two meters.

"Mr. Xiaoli, good afternoon."

"...Mmm, Mr. Hirakawa, good afternoon."

A little caught off guard, Ogasa Suzuki asked after a little surprise.

Afterwards, she asked again: "Why did Mr. Hirakawa come to the performance department again today?"

"...Well, as an instructor, I occasionally have to check on the practice progress of the playing section."

"Well, it's rare to see Teacher Hirakawa so serious."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsubun opened his mouth and closed it again.

Hmm... I really don't know what to say.

After thinking about it, he smiled and changed the subject: "Mr. Xiaoli, what song were you humming just now?"

"Humming song?" Ogasa Suzuki raised the golden frame and talked about this topic, "It's "Dance of Mikazuki" created by Ms. Horikawa, Mr. Hirakawa should know it? It was a free piece selected by our performance department last year That's it."

"...Ah, so it's this."

Hirakawa Zhewen showed a little troubled look at first, and then quickly became serious, nodding his head firmly.

"No wonder it's familiar."

Although I don't know it at all, it would be too... a little unprofessional to say it directly.

He is a professional and dedicated instructor.

Ok.

Also, seeing that Suzuki Ogasa still intends to continue talking about this topic, Tetsufumi Hirakawa quickly interrupted——

"That's right. Actually, I went to Mr. Xiaoli because I wanted to talk to Mr. Xiaoli about something."

"...Huh?" Ogasa Suzuki opened his mouth, and the topic about the dance of the crescent moon that was about to blurt out turned into a question, "Is Teacher Hirakawa looking for me?"

"um, yes."

"Then please tell me."

Ogasa Suzuki took a step closer to Hirakawa Tetsubun, and the original one-meter distance between the two was quickly drawn closer.The umbrella surface of the umbrella and the lower edge of the umbrella are also pasted together.

Hirakawa Tetsubun glanced at the umbrellas that were touching each other, and raised his own umbrella slightly.

"Mr. Ogasa, what do you think of the recent performance of the brass section?"

"Practice?"

Ogasa Suzuki raised her head and looked at Tetsufumi Hirakawa, with a serious thought on her face.

"Why is Mr. Hirakawa asking that? Is there a problem?"

"Maybe there is... just want to ask about the situation."

"Well... I don't think there is anything special about it."

After thinking for a long time, Ogasa Suzuki shook her head.

"Is that so..."

Hirakawa Zhewen did not give up asking.

"Then, let's be more specific. Mr. Ogasa, after coming back from the camp in the wind section and extending the practice time to seven o'clock in the evening, do you think the practice progress of the wind section has become faster than before?"

"Since I came back from the camp, the practice time has also become longer, and the progress of the practice is of course faster than before." Ogasa Suzuki said with certainty.

"How about the efficiency of practice, is it more efficient than before?"

"...I haven't paid special attention to this." Ogasa Suzuki replied after hesitating for a while, shaking his head.

"I see." Hirakawa Zhebun nodded knowingly.

Normally speaking, with the unification of the voice, the practice efficiency of the performance part will definitely be more efficient than before.

If not, something must be wrong.

"Ms. Hirakawa finished asking?"

"Yeah, that's fine."

Teacher Xiaoli is only a music consultant after all, and it can be seen before that she is not very familiar with student work.

Therefore, the riddles set by the wayward young lady for him are ultimately for him to solve by himself.
