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

Chapter 192

Playing started.

In the cloudless sky on the first day after the rainy season, the sun was shining brightly. In the square in front of the Marunouchi Exit of Tokyo Station, the students of the Moritani Music Club started their first road show of this school year.

Brilliant golden brass instruments, reflecting the dazzling luster in the sunlight, dazzled the eyes.

A few attracted spectators were watching, and then, standing in front of the band conductor who was petite like a high school student, Suzuki Ogasa waved his hand.

So, after a long wait, a real forest began to grow between the boundless sky, the open square, and the man-made steel jungle.

The familiar piece of music, the forest under the blue sky, was played for the first time under the real blue sky and listened to by the audience after wandering in the concert hall of the performance department for thousands of times.

The melody is melodious, floating in the mid-air of the square.

Although in the eyes of a real "expert", the music in the ear can definitely pick out many flaws, even at the half-baked level of Hirakawa Tetsufumi, it can be heard that Moriya at this time is definitely not close to the National Gold Award .

The performance of the Yushan Piano Section that I heard in the past is still like a mountain lying in front of me, which is insurmountable.

However, the level of the level is compared.

For the National Gold Award, Moritani has not yet reached this level.

However, compared with the performance departments of ordinary schools, as a team participating in the national competition, the Moritani performance department is still at the upper level of the pyramid of the performance departments of universities.

For ordinary audiences who cannot clearly distinguish between various levels—such as Hirakawa Tetsufumi when he first heard Moriya’s performance, his evaluation of this kind of music must be——

Beautiful.

The music echoing in my ears, especially the larks singing loudly under the blue sky...

The solo from the young lady of the Shinohara family brought the performance to a climax.

As a result, the phalanx of the flute department gradually increased in the surrounding audience.

Even passers-by who have their own purpose and pass by without stopping will unconsciously slow down when they hear this music.

Then, in the sound of music, whispered the words of the sign standing next to Suzuki Ogasa——

"Moritani Women's High School Performance Club".

In the end, the first road show of the Moritani Wind Music Department ended with the applause of the surrounding audience at the end of the wind music.

-

The roadshow is over.

The onlookers had receded. In the open space of the square, the students who played over and over again were taking a rest.Moreover, these female high school girls in neat white uniforms basically had drops of sweat on their foreheads and faces.

High-intensity performance is a rather exhausting act, and today we are outdoors again, the weather is fine and the sun is unobstructed.

The water I bought earlier has basically been distributed during the rest time in the middle, which is not enough at all.

So now, looking at the empty mineral water, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who is the most leisurely, naturally took on the task of buying water again.

Said to Ogasa Suzuki, who was also a little tired from commanding, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi turned around and prepared to leave.

But at this time, once again, Shiori Shinohara's voice sounded in his ears.

"Teacher Hirakawa, let me go with you."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen stopped the steps he was about to walk, and turned around.

Shiori Shinohara stood behind him—of course because of his turning around, it was now in front of him—his fair face was crimson, with traces of sweat drops, and a few strands of hair stuck to the delicate forehead face.

The lips are slightly opened, and the white and neat teeth can be seen.

The girl was panting, like a steamed bun just out of the cage, or something.

This kind of appearance makes her very tired. As a soloist, she is the most tired person present.

Ogasa Suzukiko who was beside Tetsufumi Hirakawa obviously thought so too, she also stared at Shiori Shinohara's tired face and spoke with concern.

"Xiaoyuan-san? Why are you going? You'd better not go and have a good rest."

The girl brushed her hair aside, stopped panting, calmed down her breathing rhythm, and responded with a smile.

"Mr. Xiaoli, it's okay, I'm fine."

"Just let Teacher Hirakawa go."

"Teacher Pingchuan doesn't know the way, so he might get lost or something. I need to take him there."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen next to him: "?"

He looked at Shiori Shinohara who was talking nonsense, but the girl ignored him.

As for Ogasa Suzuki, faced with this kind of words, she held up her mirror frame, blinked her eyes, and began to think seriously.

And after thinking about it, he nodded in a daze.

"It turned out to be like this."

"..."

"..."

Shinohara Shiori obviously figured out Ogasa Suzukiko's confused character, and she was able to say such messy reasons.

Afterwards, under Ogasa Suzuki's entrustment, "That Shinohara-san, slow down on the road, remember to bring Mr. Hirakawa back", the girl nodded and turned her eyes to him.

"Teacher Hirakawa, let's go."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen didn't know what to say.

However, he did have something to say to her, a topic that hadn't ended before, or a debate.

-

Still keeping the distance, walking, after a certain distance from the students of the performance department, the topic started naturally.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen spoke first.

"Shinohara-san, continue with the previous topic."

"Yes."

"You should also understand, teachers and students, absolutely not?"

It can be said to be a rather ambiguous topic, but when Hirakawa Zhewen spoke, his tone could be described as cold, without any ambiguity or anything.

Shiori Shinohara didn't care about this tone, and looked at the teacher beside her without any concealment.

"By normal standards, absolutely not."

"There is no such thing as special standards, even if there are, it won't work."

"But from a personal point of view, what's wrong with being free to pursue what one likes according to one's own mind? Teacher Hirakawa, I think that the constraints of identity should not hinder the free expression of emotions."

"...The shackles of identity." Hirakawa Zhewen repeated the words.

"You should also understand that I don't like this."

"..."

Probably due to physical factors, Shinohara Shiori slowed down and took another deep breath.

Hirakawa Zhewen also slowed down.

Then, he responded to the girl's gaze, looking through the transparent air under the clear sky, and met the girl's eyes.

"Xiaoyuan-san, your thinking is not correct. Identity constraints are necessary, and there should be no other relationship between teachers and students."

"It doesn't matter. Teacher Hirakawa doesn't think it's important to be incorrect. I think it's fine to be correct. After all, this is a one-sided emotion."

"..."

Undoubtedly, in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's view, Shinohara Shiori's point of view is absolutely wrong. Human beings, as social animals, play various identities in society and abide by the norms that such identities should abide by. necessary.

This is how society operates, around various norms, written or unwritten, laws and regulations, or moral constraints.

But Shiori Shinohara obviously doesn't like the constraints brought by her status.

It should be said that she has had enough constraints, constraints from her mother.

She loathes this restraint.

In her opinion, it is obviously more important to freely choose what she cares about.

This girl's thinking is really problematic.

Hirakawa Tetsubun analyzed Shinohara Shiori's heart silently, and in the end, there was nothing he could do about her thoughts.

The concept produced by family education is profound and influential, and it is impossible to try to change it in a few words.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa could only reluctantly skip this debate on the rationality of teachers and students.

Since this kind of concept cannot be changed, the only way to get this girl to give up the absurd idea of ​​"pursuing him" is.

"Xiaoyuan-san, what are you talking about, one-sided emotion?"

"Of course it is."

"Then it is impossible for me to give you a response, no matter from the perspective of identity constraints or from the perspective of personal emotions."

"is it?"

"No question."

"Teacher Hirakawa said that, is he trying to let me retreat in spite of the difficulties?"

The girl saw through his thoughts.

"Yeah." There's nothing to deny.

"But, Mr. Hirakawa, have you ever thought about—"

Shiori Shinohara spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"Coincidentally, Shiori is a person who will never admit defeat."

"..."

In the silence of Hirakawa Tetsuwen, the proud young lady who claimed that she would not give up easily added.

"Even if Mr. Hirakawa's view is the same now, it doesn't mean that it won't change in the future."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi frowned: "Student Xiaoyuan, according to the meaning of this sentence, stalking?"

"Indeed." The proud eldest lady was no longer arrogant in such matters, and directly admitted.

——She has already figured it out clearly, and there are some things that cannot be done without fighting for them.Therefore, Shiori Shinohara now has a clear goal, as clear as the national gold medal.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi fell into silence.

Stalking, if a boy does this kind of behavior to a girl, it is almost synonymous with sexual harassment and a preparation for a crime.

However, girls always have privileges, not to mention Miss Shinohara. If she is not a teacher and student, some people may think that it is an honor to be entangled by such a beautiful girl.

But Hirakawa Zhewen would never think so.

At a slow pace, I finally saw the convenience store.

He opened his mouth.

It was the first time he spoke such a serious tone to this girl.

"Xiaoyuan-san, if you say it very seriously, maybe it will make me hate you."

"..."

He saw that with these words, especially the word "hate", there was still a slight fluctuation in Shiori Shinohara's eyes.

However, the girl brushed her long hair and spoke calmly.

"Teacher Hirakawa, this kind of argument is useless, because, for me, if I don't do this, I have no chance at all."

"..."

With the fall of this sentence, the debate between the two came to an end.

Hirakawa Tetsubun did not shake Shinohara Shiori's ideas at all, and the girl's thoughts were always firm.

He has nothing to say for now.

Naturally, there are limits to the power of words, as he had long known.

If this is the case, he can only use his actions to prove that what he said is not false.

The girl's one-sided emotions, let her be one-sided, no matter what happens, he will never respond.

Thinking, the two walked into the convenience store.

-

Inside the convenience store, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked towards the place where the mineral water was placed.

He lifted two lifts of mineral water and was about to walk to the cashier.

As for Shiori Shinohara, the long solo may have exhausted her physical strength, so of course she will not be asked to carry water.

but.When he got up, the girl behind him still had something to say.

"Teacher Hirakawa."

"..."

To be honest, judging from the current situation of the two of them, Tetsufumi Hirakawa doesn't really want to respond to Shiori Shinohara.

But, leaving aside this absurd emotion, she was still a student and he was still a teacher.

It is also incorrect in Hirakawa Tetsuwen's concept if he does not respond to the students' normal dialogue.

Finally, so, amidst a lot of thoughts in his mind, Hirakawa Tetsufumi took a deep breath, and calmly responded to the girl's voice.

"Shinohara-san, what's wrong?"

"I want to drink that—"

The girl's pale fingers appeared from his side, following the pink nails, the target was a soda in the freezer.

Amid Hirakawa Tetsufumi's doubts, the girl's voice of explanation emerged simultaneously.

"As the hardest soloist, and Mr. Hirakawa came to buy water, Shiori should have the qualifications to choose drinks willfully?"

"..."

There was silence for a while, but there was no way to refute it. This young lady is naturally qualified.

If this kind of thing hadn't happened, in the past, Hirakawa Tetsufumi would have agreed with Shinohara Shiori's words, and then agreed to the girl's somewhat willful request.

But now this happened...

"Xiaoyuan-san, buy it yourself."

"No money."

"..."

Faced with such words, Hirakawa Tetsufumi finally turned his face to look at Shinohara Shiori, questioning with his eyes. "Really?"

The girl pursed her slightly dry lips, and the tone of her answer could not tell the truth from the fake.

"Ah."

"..."

Hirakawa Zhewen then looked at the girl's dry and slightly dehydrated lips.

"Xiaoyuan-san, it's better to drink water in this situation, don't drink beverages."

"If Shiori wants it." The wayward young lady smiled.

"..."

"..."

-

Tetsubun Hirakawa walked out of the convenience store carrying two buckets of mineral water. Behind him, Shiori Shinohara held a drink in his hand.

Because of the teacher's status, in the face of the reasonable request of the students, it is impossible to refuse.

This teacher is so deeply bound by identity.

"Xiaoyuan-san, since... that day, you have changed a lot."

Taking a sip of the cold drink, Shiori Shinohara heard the words of the teacher in front of her.

"Actually, it's not that I've changed a lot."

After screwing on the bottle cap, Shinohara Shiori said so.

The tone is calm and unhurried.

"Mr. Hirakawa probably hasn't forgotten. When we first met, I said, if you insist on interfering with my will, please find the next job in time."

"In the eyes of the teacher, I was a problem student from the beginning."

"So it's not that Shiori has changed, it's just that I figured it out, that's all."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi had nothing to say about the girl's remarks.

In short.

I'm not pretending, it's a showdown-is that right?
