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

Chapter 253 The End of Teacher's Career and the Beginning of Hekuta

Shiori Shinohara sat in front of the desk in her pajamas.

The autumn morning sunlight poured in through the window, passing through the light pajamas, revealing the girl's body under the transparent pajamas.

But in a bedroom with no one else, this is not worth paying attention to, Shiori Shinohara put her eyes on the book on the table.

She stretched out her hand, opened the book, flipped through several pages, and found the content.

It says:
[... She had a novel under her arm on the day she went to Thomas's, and at the beginning of the novel there was a strange encounter between Anna and Vronsky on the platform of a train, where , A man was killed just now under a train.At the end of the novel, Anna is lying under a train. 】

[This kind of symmetrical layout, the same plot appears at the beginning and end, it seems that it may be very "fictional".Yes, I admit it, but only on the proviso that being so fictional doesn't mean "fictional," "fabricated," or "not at all like life" to you.Because that's how life is made. 】

[Life is like composing music.Under the guidance of aesthetic feeling, people turn accidental events into a theme, and then record it in the movement of life.Just as a composer composes the main melody of a sonata, the theme of life is also recurring, repeating, correcting, and extending. 】

[Anna can end her life in any way, but the combination of the station, the unforgettable theme of death and the initiation of love seduces her with desolate beauty at the moment of her despair. 】

【Man is composing the music of life according to the law of beauty, until the moment of deep despair comes, but he knows nothing about it. 】

……

Hirakawa Tetsufumi closed the book.

He sat at his desk, which received and reflected the autumn morning sunlight from the window, which reflected the titles on the brown book covers into his eyes.

The unbearable lightness of being.

He stared at it without saying a word. Finally, he got up silently and put the book aside.

From this point of view, perhaps his last-minute visit to Shinohara Shiori's home was also guided by this sense of beauty that came from fate.

Beginning and ending, symmetrical distribution, the same thing happens.However, the reason for the action has changed under the hood.

The process from "teaching students well is a teacher's bounden duty" to "it is no longer suitable to continue to be a teacher" is really...

It makes people feel emotional.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was wearing pajamas and only a coat, walked out of the study and went downstairs.

Today is Saturday, November 11th, the first day of the end of my teaching career, and I am still not used to it.

It's obviously a rest day, in the past, now he should be lying on the bed very leisurely.

But today, when I woke up and looked at the empty ceiling, I felt that something was missing.

But take your time, you'll get used to it.

……

"Ding dong."

After washing and having breakfast, Hirakawa Tetsufumi, who was sitting on the sofa idly and empty, flipping through a book, heard the doorbell ring.

"coming."

He put down the book, walked to the door, and opened it.

As for who came... there was no one else except Jiu Tian.

"Mr. Hirakawa, good morning."

With the gentle greeting, as the door opened, the bright sunshine came oncoming.

Tetsubun Hirakawa looked at Moshu Kuta, infected by the smile, unconsciously a ray of smile emerged together.

"Ms. Hisata...I'm not a teacher now."

Afterwards, while backing away to make way for the position, he corrected the other party's statement.

"Eh……"

Kuta Moshu who walked in the door, because of his correction, his expression was a little perplexed for a while.

"This...is called getting used to it."

"Then, it's time to change."

"Changed to what?"

Kuta Moshu put on his slippers, and after getting up, his fingers were still tangling around the ends of his hair.

"Well, Mr. Hisada thinks?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi asked.

"Hirakawa-san?" Kuta Moshu tilted his head slightly and asked,

"..."

"Still, Hirakawa-kun?"

"..."

"If not, Hirakawa-chan?"

"……OK OK."

Hirakawa Tetsubun helplessly looked at the young female teacher who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and sighed.

She cunningly avoided the answer she wanted on purpose——

With the relationship between the two of them, and the agreement that they both knew well, now, they should be called by their names.

"Ms. Kuta, it's okay to deliberately pretend not to know."

"I didn't pretend I didn't know, obviously, Mr. Hirakawa...you obviously haven't changed."

"..."

"..."

"Right?" This time it was Kuta Moshu who began to examine him.

"This..." Hirakawa Zhewen opened his mouth, but the name got stuck in his throat, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

"...It seems that it is not easy to change it for a while."

"exactly."

After all, I have been addressing "Mr. Kuta" and "Mr. Jiuta" for so long, and I have long been used to it. Changing it to "Moshu" is really uncomfortable when I think about it.

but……

As a first step, it is necessary to change it.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen made up his mind.

He looked again at Moshu Kuta, the young teacher, who was still responding to his gaze, waiting.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi opened his mouth.

In the quiet atmosphere full of ambiguity, a title that represented a change in the relationship between the two was slowly brewing in his throat.

Finally, a small, indistinct syllable was first uttered, forming——

"—Sensei Hisata."

Such titles are exported.

Kuta Moshu burst out laughing.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen looked away in embarrassment.

"This, as expected, is still a bit hard to change, I am completely used to it."

"That's right, Mr. Hirakawa, still talking about me."

……

"but--"

After Hisada's laughter dissipated, Hirakawa Tetsufumi took a breath and made up his mind again.

In one go, this time it's going to be real.

"Again."

"……Um."

With a slight nod, the young teacher waited for him again.

A little shy look, with anticipation.

Hirakawa Tetsubun responded to the expectation and looked straight ahead.

Hisata Moki, a young and beautiful female teacher, has helped him a lot since he joined Moriya.

Afterwards, the two of them got along in an ordinary way, and everything went with the flow, as if it was a matter of course, and the affection they liked appeared in the simple daily life.

From greetings after meeting each morning, chatting in spare time, to being close enough to visit the other party's home and celebrate the other party's birthday.

She made lunch for him, and on the eve of his birthday, in order to send blessings as soon as possible, she called until late at night, and even fell asleep accidentally because the conversation was too late, and she woke up the next morning and hung up the phone after saying good morning.

The surprise on my birthday was also impressive, holding the cake in my hand, the fire light swaying in the night wind, the cheeks being reflected...

The scene of that day has become a memory that must never be forgotten.

Later, after he violated the agreement, the gentle teacher still tolerated his willfulness - went directly from Tokyo to Kyoto to find him.Spent her birthday together.

When he said before that he was going to resign, he expressed his understanding in a considerate manner, and even comforted him.

Such a gentle teacher is also very beautiful, how can I not like it?
——The answer to this question is: no.

Only the great Hisada-sensei, absolutely no one can face her tenderness without sinking into it.

Anyway, Hirakawa Tetsuwen has already fallen into it.

and so……

"Moshu."

The slightly unfamiliar title that was quietly brewing suddenly sounded and was spoken.

"..."

Hisata Moshu's eyes drooped down.

After a moment of silence, the young teacher's voice was small and shy.

"...Sure enough, it sounds a bit uncomfortable."

"You'll get used to it, but... now it's your turn."

"Eh...does it have to be now?"

"Well, I said it all, didn't I?"

"..."

It was also after a while of quiet brewing.

"... Zhewen?"

In the soft, cute, and tentative raised voice, Jiu Tian Mo Shu finally said the title.

Hirakawa Zhewen couldn't help smiling.

……

After successfully taking the first step, the two of them who talked for a long time finally remembered——

"Ah, that's right, that—speaking of which, we've been standing here for a long time, shall we go in first?"

Hirakawa Zhewen held back his smile and said.

"……Um."

Kuta Moshu suspected that his mood hadn't calmed down, and he was still immersed in the change of address, nodded slightly, and responded.

Then there was the sound of quiet footsteps, and the two walked towards the living room one after the other.

——Until Hirakawa Tetsufumi sat down on the sofa first.

"..."

"..."

He and Moshu Kuta, who was standing in front of him, looked at each other.

Kuta Moki blinked.

After a long time, it seemed that he finally understood something, and his eyes couldn't help but drift away.

"This... Teacher Hirakawa..."

"Huh?" Hirakawa Zhewen reminded.

"...Zhe Wen."

"Yeah." Hirakawa Zhewen nodded with satisfaction.

What's going to happen next, the tacit understanding between the two knew just through eye contact.

Although Kuta Moshu was not used to it and was full of shyness, in the end, she still walked towards Hirakawa Tetsufumi with her head down.

Then, sat down next to him, next to him.

Although, for the two of them, it's not like they haven't been so close before.

But obviously, at this moment today, in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's home, sitting next to him obviously has a more special meaning.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsubun felt his side, shoulders touching shoulders.

In this enclosed space, an ambiguous atmosphere is already lingering at the tip of his nose——

Gently sniffing, this is the fragrance from Jiu Tian's body.

"Kuda..."

"Ok?"

"..."

This time, he was reminded instead.

Sure enough, I'm still not used to it.

Hirakawa Tetsubun smiled and changed his words.

"Okay, Jasmine."

"En." Kuta Moshu responded lightly.

"I like you."

"..."

"..."

Amid the sudden confession, Hisata Moki turned his face away, not daring to meet Hirakawa Tetsufumi's eyes.

"This...is too sudden..."

"Where is it suddenly?"

"Suddenly said it..."

"Anyway, I said it before, and I knew it a long time ago."

"..."

This is true, the relationship between the two has long been known in normal times - even the teacher next to her has said it more than once.

Now the atmosphere is in place, and I have already guessed it in my heart.

but--

"It's different."

This occasion is...the so-called confession, right?
No matter how you understand it, you even previewed it in your mind a long time ago, but when it really comes to this kind of time, you will still feel embarrassed.

"I like you."

—— Seeing her shy, she actually did it again.

"like very much."

"It's been delayed for a long time, so I can't wait to say it."

"..."

Kuta Moshu plucked up his courage and turned back.

The eyes are sincere, the emotion is hot, and there is a smile on the corner of the mouth, a gentle and reassuring smile.

"Mo Shu, I like you, the teacher who is always gentle and who is by my side."

"This is what I have understood a long time ago. I said it a long time ago. Now, I will tell you again."

"I like you, very much, very much."

"I want to hear your answer."

"is it okay?"

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsubun's upper body moved forward slightly and got closer.

The young and beautiful cheeks of the female teacher are close in sight.

The oval face, gentle lines, beautiful features, and a little makeup highlight the charm of this teacher's professional woman.

Her cheeks were flushed red, and her eyes were wandering, not knowing where to look.

But ah...

There is nowhere to run.

Already this time.

After wandering his eyes for a long time, Kuta Moshu finally understood this truth.

She tried her best to restrain herself, exhaled a mouthful of sweet breath, and her eyes finally stopped evading.

"plain……"

Hirakawa Zhewen looked at her with a smile.

"..."

Sure enough, he still made a mistake in his nervousness, so he said the title casually.

"Zhewen." Changed his words.

"I……"

The tail sound is long, reflecting shyness and entanglement.

But... there will be an exit time.

"I like you."

In the autumn of this November, the wind was blowing clear, and in the living room of Hirakawa Tetsubun's house, he finally heard Hisada Moki's heart.

Although I already knew it, but ah...

"I like this sentence, I have been waiting for a long time."

"Yes, is it?" Hisata Moshu's eyelashes were trembling.

"Well, this is the first time you've said it."

"...Because I'm not as frivolous as Mr. Hirakawa."

"Ok?"

"... Zhewen." Kuta Moshu lowered his head cutely and changed his words.

"Can you say it again?"

"...No, it's too embarrassing."

"Really not?"

"No, just once."

"Then let me say - I like you, I like you. Mr. Kuta, Moshu, did you hear me, I like you."

"I don't know when I fell in love with it."

"Maybe it's your ordinary daily life, maybe it's your gentle and lovely appearance, maybe it's a combination of both."

"Anyway, I like you."

"So, please ask, can this great, gentle, and lovely teacher respond to my heart—Mo Shu, please stay with me."

"..."

The fiery sight is enough to penetrate all defenses.

In Hirakawa Tetsufumi's line of sight, he saw the lovely teacher in front of him, nodding shyly and almost imperceptibly.

"……Um."

His face was pressed against it.
