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

Chapter 264 Parting, Going High

Perhaps, there is indeed some kind of unique fate between him and her... Maybe?
Although the two have not met many times, there is not much experience between them.But there seems to be some special coincidence every time.

The first time they met on the rooftop, she thought some pervert broke into the girls' school.

In the end, at night, I accidentally ran into her at the convenience store where I was working.

Afterwards, because of the performance department, he came to the convenience store again, and helped her get rid of the unknown creature by the way.

That night in a dark alley in Kyoto, I stood in front of her, "I'll help you with the next thing." After that, a dozen or so yakuza were resolved with just one sentence.

I still remember that shocking scene until now—of course, the scene of running back to the convenience store together in embarrassment afterwards is also impressive.

Obviously, a few minutes ago, he said "omnipotent" arrogantly.

Then, it was summer vacation.

He was working in a convenience store again, and he suddenly appeared, traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto.

If it's off work or it's not her part-time job that day, the two will stagger.But no, just met like this.

He confides in her.

Later, it came to the national competition. In Nagoya, he was obviously just going out for a stroll, but in the end, he unexpectedly met him who was also going out.

When he said goodbye at the end of the national competition, he said this to her:

"Although it's true that you probably won't be going to Kyoto anymore, if you have any questions, you can come to Tokyo to talk to me, and I won't mind."

...Speaking of which, this is why she suddenly wanted to come to Tokyo, right?

This morning, on the roof of a high-rise building in Kyoto, I obviously had already thought about it. Instead of going on like this, facing this kind of choice, no matter which one I choose, it is better... to jump off.

Then, just like that, he took a last look at Kyoto, and as a result, he met his student.

Even separated from the sky, the two people on the street—especially the student who claimed to be the contractor, were really conspicuous in their outfits.

Looking at her, she thought of the teacher and what he said to her, so she came to Tokyo.

With a hot head, after more than two hours of driving, I crossed things in Japan and came to Tokyo from Kyoto.

As a result...not at home.

It seemed unnecessary to calm down, so here, she took a step towards the tramway.

but……

At this moment, Ye Yueli looked at the hand that grabbed her arm in a daze, and then looked forward along the arm.

Familiar faces and soft lines can make people feel inexplicably at ease.

His surprised voice was next to his ear, and after a short reaction, it quickly calmed down again.

There was a smile on his face, a hello smile.

"Ah, it's classmate Ye Yue—why are you here?"

"..."

"This is Tokyo, isn't it? I couldn't have crossed over to Kyoto when I entered the tram station, right?"

"..."

"Well... Although I don't know what's going on yet, good afternoon."

"..."

Before she could answer, the tram pulled into the station behind her and stopped.

Opened the car door.

Hirakawa Tetsubun took a look.

"The car is here, do you want to get in the car? Maybe we can talk about it after getting in the car."

"..."

Hazuki Reya also looked back at the tram that stopped behind her, and then turned back.

How can I describe her current mood... I thought that was it, and then, suddenly appeared again, on this tram platform.

Maybe there really is some weird coincidence.

I feel very complicated...

but.

Reya Hazuki concealed the fluctuation in her eyes, avoided Hirakawa Tetsufumi's sight, and stared at his hand that grabbed her arm.

Then he spoke with his usual tone.

"How long are you going to hold the hand of a high school girl?"

"..."

"..."

A moment of silence and... in the strange eyes of people on the tram around, Hirakawa Tetsufumi let go of his hand in some trouble.

"Eh... Well, there is still a difference between arms and hands... And please don't use such misunderstandings, I don't want to be noticed by the police because of this kind of thing."

"..."

Reya Hazuki ignored him, turned around, and walked towards the open car door.

Hirakawa Tetsubun also walked over after sighing.

"Why did you come to Tokyo?"

"..."

Did not wait for an answer.

"Okay, another question - where are you going now?"

"I don't know." Reya Hazuki finally answered after finding a place on the tram.

There are many people on the trains in Tokyo.Hirakawa Tetsufumi was squeezed in front of Hazuki Reya, quite close.

He tried his best to keep a little distance, looking down at her.

"do not know?"

"Yes, how about you?"

"I, I'm going to the studio now."

"studio?"

"Well, the comic studio. Let me tell you, I resigned before."

"Have you changed your career to become a cartoonist?"

"If I'm talking about drawing, I can only draw stick figures..." Hirakawa Zhewen laughed at himself and said, "It's the main artist, and it's related to literature, so I plan to try it."

"so."

"Well, what about you? How's it going?"

"It's okay." Ye Yueli said casually.

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

Quiet.

Hazuki Reya stood quietly, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi too, looked at Hazuki Reya for a few times, then looked away out of politeness, and didn't keep staring.

Waiting until the tram stopped and walked, and it was almost time to arrive at the studio, Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at the name of the station.

"We're almost at the studio," he said.

"En." Ye Yueli nodded.

"Have you decided where to go?"

"It's my first time in Tokyo."

"Is that so...then I'll walk with you?"

"Where's the studio?"

"It's nothing important, and there's still time to go tomorrow."

"……thanks."

The thanks were whispered.

Hirakawa Zhewen didn't care, and smiled: "It's nothing."

Although I don't know why Hazuki Reya suddenly appeared in Tokyo, but no matter what, let's just treat it as her thanks for being with him before.

"Where are you going?" Hazuki Riya asked.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen thought for a while, and replied: "I originally planned to go to the studio to have dinner, so now, should I go to have dinner first? You probably haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"not yet."

"Let's go then."

The tram has arrived.

……

Dinner is ramen, and the money is paid by Hirakawa Tetsubun.

"Just treat it as a previous thank you, you don't have to be polite." ——That's what he said.

After dinner, I walked out of the shop, and it was almost six o'clock in the evening.

The bustling commercial street here, Tokyo began to show its other side.

After the sky darkened, the neon lights and billboards that rendered the atmosphere lit up and penetrated into the night, brighter than the day.

"Now, where do you plan to go?"

"Is there any choice?" Hazuki Riya stood at the crossroads, with various lights intertwined in his eyes and face, surrounded by figures coming and going.

For her, Tokyo is a rather strange city.

"This..." Hirakawa Tetsuwen was thinking.

However, no results were considered.

"To be honest, although I have lived in Tokyo for a long time, in fact, I rarely go out."

"..." Ye Yueli took a look at him.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi showed a helpless expression.

Hazuki Reya stopped looking at him, and looked around.Colorful lights, full of prosperity.It is indeed a city that is different from Kyoto.

Suddenly, Hazuki Riya noticed and pointed to the distance.

"Go there."

"Huh?" Hirakawa Tetsubun looked suspiciously along Hazuki Reya's hand.

With the night as the background, between the guards of the high-rise buildings, there is a huge Ferris wheel with colorful lights.

"A Ferris wheel?"

"Ah."

"Alright, then, let's go."

……

Although it is possible to see the distance of the Ferris wheel, but in fact, if you really want to walk over it, it may take a lot of time.

So took the tram again.

Get off the tram, walk a few more steps, buy a double ticket, line up, and get on the Ferris wheel.

"Why do you want to come to the Ferris wheel?"

When boarding the Ferris wheel, Hirakawa Tetsubun asked casually.

And this question, Hazuki Reya did not answer him.

She sat quietly in the seat of the Ferris wheel cockpit, and quietly looked at the world outside the window while rising slowly.

At night in Tokyo, the lights permeate the night, the cockpit is isolated from the noise, and the city that never sleeps is outside.

Hirakawa Zhewen looked at her quiet profile, paused, and sat down on the seat opposite her.

He also looked out the window.

This seems to be his first time riding a Ferris wheel, right?

The ferris wheel gradually rose, and the silence continued to spread in the cockpit with only two people.As for the world outside the window, the night in Tokyo also shows more scenery as the altitude rises.

Tall buildings dispel the lights of the night, and endless pedestrians...show the prosperity of the modern city.

Farther and farther away from the ground.

Sumida River jumped into the eyes.

In the world of human civilization composed of lights, a black partition divides the lights on both sides of the river into two.

Both sides are full of bustling night, and in the middle is the Sumida River flowing slowly in the darkness.

It flows quietly, passing through the endless "light belt" - a bridge connecting the two banks of the Sumida River - to Tokyo Bay.

In the dark night, in the distant Tokyo Bay, there are invisible waves rolling in the darkness.

When the cockpit of the Ferris wheel is heading towards the highest point, you can have a panoramic view of Tokyo.

In the quiet, noiseless enclosed space, a soft Kyoto dialect sounded at this moment.

"My father confessed to my mother on the Ferris wheel."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsubun, who was still looking out the window, was stunned for a moment when he heard the sudden sound that broke the silence, and looked to the side.

What he saw was Reya Hazuki's profile... with the colorful reflection on the window.

She continued to speak lightly, and in the closed space, the voice floated into her ears, as if she was talking close to her ears, soft and sticky, very pleasant to hear.

"This is what my mother said most often."

"I think Jingjie back then..." Her tone changed, as if she was imitating... just imitating her mother's tone, right?
As soon as she imitated the first sentence, she couldn't help laughing, and she let out a "chi".

"She's always opening her mouth with that phrase, showing it off."

In the darkness, Hazuki Reya's smile vaguely reflected in her eyes... Hirakawa Zhewen vaguely felt that there seemed to be crystal light in her eye sockets.

However, he was clearly smiling.

"I think it was romantic when Jingjie confessed to me."

"At night, we boarded the Ferris wheel together. As the height continued to rise, when we looked out the window, the splendid night scene continued to appear in our eyes."

"And when I was immersed in it, the sound of an oboe suddenly sounded in my ears."

"Melodious and beautiful, softly sounded, lingering in the ears."

"At the highest point of the Ferris wheel, he used the night of the whole city as the background, blowing the melody he composed for me."

"He confessed to me."

"How about it, is it romantic?"

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsubun glanced out the window, and then at Hazuki Reya beside him.

High sky, night, melodious melody...

"It's very romantic." He nodded.

"Yeah." Ye Yueli replied softly, "She always likes to show off to me about the things between her and her father."

"Growing up together, childhood sweethearts, elementary school together, middle school together, high school admitted to the same school, three years in the same class. Graduation also admitted to the same university."

"I've been tired of being together like this, even after marriage, it's not enough, we have to be together no matter what."

"We've been married for more than ten years, and they're still in front of me every day... It's a bit unbearable."

Reya Hazuki remembered something and laughed again.

"Is that so?" Hirakawa Zhewen smiled and imagined the picture. Are parents who continue to show affection in front of their children...it is really helpless.

"Yeah." Ye Yueli nodded lightly.

She looks out the window.

The Ferris wheel has reached its highest point.

The night in Tokyo is extremely bright.

At that time, it was in such a scene that her father blew the oboe and confessed to her mother, right?

It is indeed a beautiful view.

"It's beautiful." Hazuki Reya said while lying on the window.

"Hmm." Hirakawa Zhewen, who was sitting opposite, agreed.

"It makes you want to jump off."

"Huh... eh?!" Subconsciously agreeing, Hirakawa Tetsufumi was immediately frightened, and looked at Hazuki Reya.

Another glance down.

"This, why can't it work?"

"is it?"

"Will die."

"Too."

"..."

"..."

The highest point of the Ferris wheel is only for an instant.

After crossing the highest point, it began to slowly descend.

The last part of the journey was very quiet, and the two gradually watched the cockpit get closer and closer to the ground until they stopped.

……

"Well, thank you for today."

"It's nothing."

"I should go next."

"..."

"Why, can't you bear me?"

Walking on the road away from the Ferris wheel, at the moment of saying goodbye, Reya Hazuki stared at Tetsufumi Hirakawa at her side.

"No—it's just..."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen shook his head, appearing a little hesitant.

"what happened?"

"It feels like you, Ye Yue, are different today from before."

"Have it?"

"some."

"It's different."

"Hmm... some..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi chose the appropriate adjective, "some are too quiet."

"Quiet...does it mean that I didn't scold you much today?" Ye Yueli stared at him curiously.

"This..." Hirakawa Zhewen was still thinking.

Hazuki Riya suddenly took an exaggerated step to the side, as if frightened: "Hey, I still need to think about this question, don't you really think so?"

"...No, how should I put it, if you look at it purely from the perspective of finding anomalies, this point is really an anomaly."

Hazuki Reya's eyes began to show a familiar pervert look: "So you are really a pervert, right? You still feel something is wrong if you don't get scolded by me."

Hirakawa Tetsubun retorted weakly: "Please listen to what others have to say... I just feel that something is wrong, not that I want to be scolded."

However, Hazuki Reya did not listen to him.

After thinking about it for a while, with a gesture full of disgust, he agreed to the request of someone who didn't know who it was.

"Then as a thank you for being with me today, I'll try my best to satisfy your perversion."

She stopped and faced him, the corner of her mouth curled up in distaste, she spoke in a pleasant voice, with a soft and vague Kyoto accent.

"But what do you want to hear? Baka? Hentai? Urusai?"

"..."

It's true that the classic three-hit combo sounds good, but Hirakawa Tetsufumi doesn't have this habit.

"Okay, okay, please stop." He retreated.

Hazuki Riya chuckled: "Is it really not necessary? This is a good time to satisfy your perverted addiction, and there will be no more in the future."

"...No need at all." Hirakawa Zhebun sighed.

"Okay." Hazuki Reya seemed a little regretful.

"See you now, shall we?"

"See you."

"Goodbye."

"..."

"..."

After leaving, but within a few steps, Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly turned around and shouted to Riya Hazuki: "When do you plan to return to Kyoto?"

Hazuki Reya's answer came: "I don't know."

"do not know?"

"Tomorrow." He changed his mouth.

"Oh."

Hirakawa Zhewen nodded, and now he left completely.

……

After bidding farewell to Tetsufumi Hirakawa, Reya Hazuki climbed up a tall building.

It's as high as the Ferris wheel just now, high enough to overlook the night of Tokyo, so high that it makes people want... to jump off.

She never thought of going back to Kyoto.
