Chapter 126 Shiori Shinohara Cares Very Much

Although Hirakawa Tetsufumi was still very puzzled that what he said last night could be forgotten today, but since this was the case, he had no choice but to spend some time talking to Ogasa Suzuki about the performance department.

"Is that so?"

After listening to his speech, Ogasa Suzuki nodded as if hearing it for the first time.

This made Hirakawa Tetsufumi put on a smile of not knowing what to do: "That's right. Then, what does Mr. Xiaoli think?"

"Hey... opinion... let me think about it."

Ogasa Suzuki still thought about this question very seriously.

"Sounds like it's really serious."

"Ah."

"Because the goal is the gold medal, so you must do your best."

"Yes."

From Tetsubun Hirakawa's narrative, even Ogasa Suzukiko can feel the seriousness and urgency of this problem.

Especially now that there is only more than a month left before the national competition qualifiers.

However, without mentioning how to solve this problem, the first thing to consider is: how did this problem arise?
To be honest, it's not very understandable.

"Teacher Ogasa?"

"Oh, yes, Hirakawa-sensei."

"What's wrong?" Hirakawa Zhewen looked at Ogasa Suzuki with a troubled expression.

"Hmm...Actually, I don't quite understand..." Ogasa Suzuki lowered her head and said in a low voice.

The attitude is not like a teacher, but like a student who makes mistakes.

Hirakawa Zhewen also smiled helplessly.

Teacher Xiaoli has always been insensitive to this kind of thing, after all, he is a bit naturally dumb.

That can't be helped, Hirakawa Tetsuwen comforted: "Mr. Xiaoli, it's okay if you don't have any ideas for the time being, don't blame yourself. For now, our goal is to find the reason."

"...But, how to find it?"

"About this." Hirakawa Zhewen glanced back at the students behind him.

The original vacant team of students has already arrived, and under the arrangement of the minister, they have already picked up their instruments and are only ready to start training.

"It can only be said that there is no use in worrying."

After all, it is impossible to expect him, an instructor who has not been here a few times, to see the cause of the problem at a glance.

"At least for now, the students can still practice well when Teacher Xiaoli is present."

It's better than when I couldn't practice quietly even if the teacher was present.

"Let's start practicing today. I will also assist and try to find the reason."

Ogasa Suzuki raised her head, straightened her glasses, and hesitated to speak.

Hirakawa Zhewen looked at the petite teacher in front of him, and smiled softly: "Mr. Xiaoli, don't forget that I am also the instructor, and this is my duty. If you say something thank you, I will be very troubled."

"……Yes."

"so be it."

Although Ogasa Suzukiko answered, Hirakawa Tetsufumi's expression was still slightly helpless.

Because looking at Ogasa Suzuki's expression just now, it seems that he really forgot that he is the instructor, and wanted to say something to him to thank him.

There is no way.

"Anyway, let's start training."

"Uh-huh."

-

The practice time in the afternoon passed quite quickly. Amidst the beating of the notes, after regaining consciousness, the sky outside the window was already dark.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the students began to leave the stage showing exhaustion. After chatting with Ogasa Suzukiko about the performance department, Hirakawa Tetsufumi also started to walk out of the concert hall.

The lights in the corridor were turned on as usual, dispelling the night.In the afternoon, the rain had stopped for a while, and it began to patter again.

And following the crystal raindrops falling in the light, his eyes followed it, drifting obliquely with the wind into the corridor, and then slowly landed on a girl's shoulder.

"Xiaoyuan-san, are you still there?"

Looking up, what caught my eyes was the girl's delicate profile illuminated by the light.

Shiori Shinohara turned her face away: "Well, there is something else I want to say to Mr. Hirakawa."

"Ok."

Hirakawa Zhewen nodded slightly and stepped forward.

"Let's go then."

The sound of footsteps sounded behind them, and they walked forward together in this corridor separated by lights and night.

until entering the stairwell.

"Teacher Hirakawa."

He must have thought about how to speak when the girl's voice rang in his ears.

"Please speak."

"What did Ogasa-sensei say about the playing section?"

"Well, I don't have any ideas for now. But don't worry, I will continue to come to the performance department in the future."

"Ms. Hirakawa is willing to take responsibility."

"...It's a bit strange to say that, but I'm the instructor."

"..."

Shinohara Shiori didn't intend to get entangled in this topic.

She flicked her long hair on the side, inserted her fingertips into the hair, and felt a burst of cold water vapor.

It was wet by the rain that drifted in when I was waiting for a certain teacher in the corridor.

She is thinking about one thing.

Very concerned.

Before coming to the performance club today, the teacher said, "I met Mr. Ogasa at the supermarket last night."

Being able to meet them in the supermarket...it means that the two teachers probably don't live far away.

Of course this wasn't a problem.

The problem is, the way the two of them whispered in front of the students in the afternoon before the practice of the wind performance department started was very interesting.

Moreover, behind her, there were whispers from two students.

"Hey... there is indeed a problem."

"I know."

"..."

"..."

More words are inaudible.But just these two sentences sounded very insider,
What will be the inside story?
Shiori Shinohara wanted to know, but—

When I asked them—Takao-san and Inaba-san—they kept an attitude of absolute secrecy.

This made her very concerned. She didn't want to think about it, but she couldn't control it at all.

Thinking about these things, Shinohara Shiori spoke again.

"Mr. Hirakawa, will you continue to come to the performance department until this problem in the performance department is resolved?"

"Of course it will."

"Then after it's resolved."

"Of course." Hirakawa Zhewen said without thinking.

"..."

To be honest, Shiori Shinohara didn't quite believe it.

But it's okay.

She then pretended to be casual and said: "Teacher Pingchuan will have such determination, it is very progressive."

"Eh..." Faced with Miss Shinohara's rare compliment, Tetsubun Hirakawa suddenly felt guilty.

In fact, he himself doesn't really believe that he can be present all the time - because apart from the current problem, his instructor is really useless under normal practice conditions...

But the words have been released, and they can't be taken back.

"Cough...Of course, I also do my best." Hirakawa Zhewen boasted.

"..."

Shinohara Shiori thought it was a little funny.

As the student who has had the most contact with him, she is very clear about what this teacher thinks in this regard.

Pursing the corners of his lips, he said calmly, "Indeed, for example, Mr. Hirakawa met Mr. Xiaoli in the supermarket last night, and he was still worried about the performance department."

"This...Of course, even after get off work, the teacher has been thinking about the playing department."

"Is it a chance encounter?" He asked naturally.

"……Yes."

"Before, I didn't seem to have heard that Mr. Hirakawa could still think about the performance department under such circumstances."

Glancing at the girl next to him, Hirakawa Tetsufumi replied: "Actually, last night was the first time I met Teacher Xiaoli after get off work."

"That's it... Teacher Pingchuan really has improved."

After casually saying this, Shiori Shinohara stopped talking about it.

Compared with gossip, she decided to trust her Teacher Pingchuan a little more.
