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

Chapter 196 The end, the beginning, the summer vacation is coming, the game is about to start
"Teacher Hirakawa."

"..."

"Teacher Hirakawa?"

"……Um?"

In the office, Hirakawa Tetsufu came back to his senses amid the shouts in his ears.

The young and beautiful cheeks of a female teacher appeared in front of the field of vision, leaned very close, and stared at him.

"...So it's Hisada-sensei, what's wrong?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi leaned back slightly to distance himself.

Kuta Moshu was still staring into his eyes, and stood up after staring for a long time, with a dissatisfied tone.

"Teacher Pingchuan lost his mind while talking again."

"Eh...is that so? I'm sorry." Hirakawa Tetsubun scratched his face with his nails in embarrassment, "Just now, where did we talk?"

"Just now, Mr. Pingchuan plans to live in the school tonight."

"..." Hirakawa Zhewen was stunned for a moment, then blinked his eyes ignorantly: "...Did I say that?"

Jiu Tianmoshu sighed: "Since you don't live in the school, isn't Mr. Hirakawa planning to leave?"

"..."

That's what it means...

Hirakawa Zhewen coughed dryly, turned around, and tidied up the things on his desk.

"OK OK."

After tidying up, he got up and took a last look at the office.

On the last day before the summer vacation, in the evening, there was no one else in the office except him and Kuta, there was no sound in the campus, the students had all left, and the rest was nothing but silence.

In the empty office, the orange-yellow sunset light poured in from the window, dyeing everything seen in front of the eyes with the color of the sunset, and also made this tranquility more obvious.

Summer vacation is here.

After confirming this fact, he looked at his own desktop and found that nothing was left behind.

"Let's go, Mr. Kuta." He carried the bag and faced Moshu Kuta.

"Yes." Kuta Moshu also picked up the bag.

In the sound of pattering footsteps, the two walked towards the door of the office at a slow pace one after the other.

Hirakawa Tetsubun was in front, so when he reached the door, he turned around and stood there waiting for a while. When Jiu Tian Moshu walked out, he stretched out his hand and supported the doorknob.

When closing the door, I always hesitate, whether I have forgotten something or something.But just for a moment—

"boom."

The door is closed.

Hirakawa Tetsubun turned around.

The sky outside the corridor at this moment, the clouds in the summer evening, the gorgeous colors.

There is also the heat, even though it is already evening, it is still hot and dry against the skin.

Announces that summer has indeed come, and summer vacation is about to begin.

"Teacher Hirakawa, are you distracted again?" Kuta Moshu waved his hand in front of him.

"No."

Withdrawing his gaze from the sky, his eyes focused on the shaking hand of the female teacher, Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled, and casually denied, "Let's go."

"What are you doing?" Kuta Moshu kept up with him, walking side by side.

"It's just a feeling that the end of the term is really fast, and the summer vacation is so soon."

"Is that so?"

"Ah."

The two were walking in the corridor, the setting sun slanted and sprinkled light on the body, warming the whole body.

Until walking into the stairs, the field of vision suddenly dimmed, only a little dimness reflected from the back.

Hirakawa Tetsubun noticed the gaze coming from the side face.

He turned his face away, and the female teacher was staring at him.

"Mr. Kuta, why, don't you believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe it." Kuta Moshu shook his head.

"That is?"

"Well, it's just... I always feel that Teacher Hirakawa's recent state is very wrong."

"Have it?"

"Yes, although Mr. Hirakawa used to like to be in a daze, but recently, the situation of being in a daze is too common."

On the dark stairs, footsteps resounded staggeredly, and Hisamoki's eyes were full of concern.

"Did something happen?"

"This one……"

Hirakawa Zhewen was at a loss for words for a moment, and in his mind, following the female teacher's question, the figure of a certain young lady flashed past.

His body froze for a moment, then he smiled nonchalantly and denied it.

"Nothing."

"No?" Hisa Moshu's eyes and tone were full of disbelief.

"of course not."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at the stairs under his feet.

"If there is anything to say, it's just because the end of the semester, there are more things. There are affairs of the homeroom teacher, and affairs of the playing department--sensei Hisada knows that the playing competition is about to start."

"..."

In the eyes of the female teacher, doubts were gradually dispelled.

"That's it."

"Of course it is."

"That Teacher Pingchuan really worked hard."

"Yes."

Nodding, the gentle voice fell, and the exchange came to an end.

When they spoke again, Hirakawa Tetsufumi and Hisada Moshu were both immersed in the light of the setting sun.

The slanting light elongated the shadows of the two of them, and beside their ears was the chirping of cicadas that could be heard everywhere in summer.

"Teacher Hirakawa, shall I take you back?" Jiu Tian Mo Shu suddenly said.

"This..." Hirakawa Tetsuwen thought for a while, and agreed to the female teacher's invitation, "Okay, please trouble Mr. Hisada."

"It's okay, it's the last day of this semester. Let's go."

"Ah."

The two walked towards the parking spot in Moriya.

Along the way, there was small talk.

"Speaking of which, what is Mr. Hisata's plan for the summer vacation?"

"I don't know, it depends on the situation. Where is Mr. Hirakawa?"

"Me? There is also something about the wind performance department. Although it is summer vacation, the practice in the wind performance department will continue."

"Are you still coming to school?"

"Yeah, the regional competition will be held three days later. After the promotion, the Tokyo metropolitan competition will be held in August. No matter how you look at it, you can't take it easy."

"so."

"..."

Not long after, a familiar white vehicle came into view.It was Hisada Moki's car, parked in a parking space under the shade of a tree.

Walking forward, the closer you get, the more you can hear it, and the cicadas in your ears are getting louder and louder.Until walking under the tree, I looked up at the dense branches and leaves.

There are a few orange sunset lights between the leaves, and the sound of cicadas shrouds the top of the head.

The tree is the site of cicadas, and now is the season of cicadas.

On July 7, the solar term is the great heat, the cicadas are singing vigorously, and the summer is strong.

The last day before summer vacation.

"Teacher Pingchuan, you're in a daze again."

"What?" Hirakawa Zhewen shouted.Through the car window, the voice of the female teacher was covered by the sound of chirping.

"You're in a daze again." Kuta Moshu repeated it.

Now Hirakawa Tetsuwen heard it clearly.

"No."

He slowly looked away from the treetops, turned around, and opened the car door.

"I was just thinking, the summer vacation has started, it seems that I won't be able to see Mr. Kuta."

While talking, he sat on the seat and closed the door.

While fastening the seat belt, I suddenly heard the female teacher beside me speak.

"Actually... I can see you."

As soon as the action of fastening the seat belt stopped, Hirakawa Zhewen looked over, a little puzzled: "Can you?"

"Teacher Hirakawa won't forget, right?"

Amidst the hum of the engine, the female teacher's reminder came.

"August 8."

"..."

Hirakawa Zhewen was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

"Too."

Nodding his head to fasten his seat belt, the vehicle started.

When he drove out of Moriya's school gate, he looked out the window, and the slightly lonely sunset hung on the skyline, almost disappearing.

Summer vacation is really about to start.

Although for Hirakawa Tetsufumi, he still has to come to school at the beginning of the summer vacation, but the end of the semester, the end of a semester, always triggers a little emotion about the passage of time.

……

……

……

July 7, the first day of the summer vacation, two days before the regional qualifiers.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen, who was still feeling emotional about leaving school at the end of the semester, came to school early in the morning.

Although at Moritani's level, it is basically impossible to lose in the regional qualifiers, but this kind of proud attitude cannot be present, so Moritani's performance department decided to practice hard two days before the start of the competition.

In the summer season, yesterday was still a solar term of great heat, so the sun was still strong despite the morning light.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was walking along the shade of trees not far from Moriya's school gate.

Moreover, out of boredom, when Hirakawa Tetsufumi was walking under the shade of a tree, he added the rule of "don't step on the sun" quite naively.

Step by step, head down, bypassing a few spots of gold under the dense tree shadow.

It's a pity that the shade of the tree only extends to Moriya's school gate.Going in again, there are no shadows on both sides of the aisle in the campus.

So this childish game can only be forced to stop——

'Actually, to put it another way, it's better to say that you have cleared the customs. '
Thinking of this, Hirakawa Tetsubun, who was entertaining himself, raised his head.

Then--

The slight smile on his face, immersed in his own world, disappeared immediately.

His complexion became a little...complicated.

"Mr. Hirakawa, good morning."

Miss Shinohara stood at the gate of the school, at the end of the shade of the trees, a little light shone on her body, her figure was like a princess waiting for the rescue of a brave man in a level-breaking game.

She has a dignified temperament, outstanding appearance, and her family is still famous. It is not uncommon for her to be named a princess in a fairy tale.

But Hirakawa Tetsufumi is not a brave man, he is a teacher.

Facing Shiori Shinohara who greeted him with a smile, Tetsufumi Hirakawa now had the urge to turn around and leave——

Of course he restrained himself.

Just take a step back, put some distance away, and then smile and say hello again.

"Good morning, Shinohara-san. What are you doing standing at the school gate?"

Shiori Shinohara's smile remained unchanged, and she replied, "Of course I'm waiting for Teacher Hirakawa."

"... Just stand here and wait?"

"Ah."

Facing the surprised question, he nodded unhurriedly.

In this way, Hirakawa Tetsufumi had nothing to say.

However, Miss Shinohara glanced at Tetsufumi Hirakawa who was standing there, and offered an invitation.

"Ms. Hirakawa, let's go to the performance department together?"

"...That, no." Hirakawa Zhewen turned around and took a look, but there was no one behind him.

"why?"

"Wait." He casually made up a reason.

"That Shiori waited with Mr. Hirakawa."

"..."

In the past, for Shinohara Shiori who hadn't confessed her feelings, she couldn't do anything despite such a perfunctory reason.

But it's different now.Confessing his heart, this kind of reason is invalid for Shiori Shinohara.

"..." Tetsubun Hirakawa turned back and stared at Shiori Shinohara.

The girl didn't mind, and showed him a nice smile.

"..."

-

In the aisle of the campus, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was walking in the sunlight, not far away was Shiori Shinohara.

The two walked together without making a sound.

But the silence didn't last long, and soon, Shiori Shinohara stared at the sunlit ground, and suddenly spoke.

"Teacher Hirakawa."

"..." Hirakawa Zhewen didn't respond, but it was impossible not to hear him so close.

"There's no shade here for you now."

"..." Tetsubun Hirakawa reacted, his face froze, and he looked at Shiori Shinohara.

The girl smiled and groaned.

"See?"

"nature."

"..."

Facing the slightly ugly Hirakawa Zhewen, the girl lightly smiled and comforted him: "Mr. Hirakawa, it's okay, you look cute like this."

"...don't use the word cute."

"Then..." The girl murmured and thought, and then said, "Interesting?"

"never mind."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked forward again, wondering how far away he was to get to the playing section, or in other words, it would be great if Mr. Ogasa could appear.He didn't want to be alone with the girl, nor did he want to be entangled with her.

It's a pity that Mr. Xiaoli didn't hear such a heartfelt voice, but——

Shinohara Shiori flicked her long hair: "You are thinking, leave me quickly, right?"

The way to answer "..." is the default.

"It seems that Shiori's confession yesterday caused you a lot of trouble."

The girl continued talking, and after a moment of hesitation, Tetsubun Hirakawa nodded affirmatively.

"It's good that you know Shinohara-san."

"However, regarding yesterday's confession, Teacher Hirakawa hasn't responded to me yet."

"..."

In fact, it was a response, but in the girl's point of view, refusal was not considered a response, that's all.

"It's impossible, Xiaoyuan-san, give up." Hirakawa Tetsufumi could only say this over and over again.

"Actually, Shiori didn't ask Mr. Hirakawa to give me a response now."

"what is that?"

"Even after graduation, Shiori is very satisfied if Hirakawa-sensei can give me a response."

"Graduation doesn't work either. This kind of relationship is a complete mistake." Hirakawa Zhewen's eyes remained unmoved, but his voice remained firm.

"OK."

For another rejection, Miss Shinohara was not surprised.

but it does not matter.

Mind, will change.The performance department in the summer vacation is her time with Mr. Hirakawa.

Walking, the building is in front of you.

-

The busy time always passes quickly, and the day's practice passes quickly.

And in the playing department, where all the students were there, Shinohara Shiori didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just immersed in serious practice.

When it's time to be serious, this girl will be serious.

Only the next day, on the 25th, the girl stood at the school gate waiting for him again, that's all.

"Mr. Hirakawa, good morning."

"..."

However, facing such a greeting, Hirakawa Tetsubun could not say anything.

"Tomorrow is the competition, Shinohara-san."

What can be done, which is to lead the topic to the competition, is better than listening to the girl say some messy things.

"Ah."

"Are you sure?"

"Naturally——if Hirakawa-sensei can cheer Shiori up."

"..."

"It's not too much to cheer on students, Mr. Hirakawa."

"..."

The wayward girl was walking in the deserted campus, with the summer morning light on her head, waiting, waiting for his reply.

Under the clear and bright sky, in a place without shade from trees, an almost helpless voice finally sounded.

"Come on, Shinohara-san."

The game is about to start.
