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

A firework festival and a summer festival are a perfect match, just like Miss Shinohara and a yukata are a perfect match.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa still remembers the thoughts in his heart at this time last year.

It is true.At the summer festival, the heat rises and there is a hustle and bustle. The crowd raises their heads and looks at the clear night sky above them in hope, until the five-color fireworks bloom. When the girl's side face is seen, such a scene is always unforgettable.

But at this point, it might be worth adding:
"It's like Mr. Hirakawa and Shiori are a perfect match."

On the way to the fireworks festival venue, when Hirakawa Tetsufumi told Miss Shinohara about his thoughts from last year, what he got was this girl's supplement.

"What?" Hirakawa Zhewen laughed inexplicably.

"Teacher Hirakawa thinks it's wrong?" the girl asked cutely.

"That's right, that's right, naturally." Under the gaze of the young lady, Hirakawa Zhewen quickly admitted.

"It feels a little perfunctory."

"No way."

"..."

With a few whispers, the crowd slowly moved forward, and finally arrived at the location of the fireworks festival.

"It's almost the same as last year." Hirakawa Zhewen said after looking around.

"It's different for Shiori." Shinohara Shiori took a bite of the cold shaved ice with a spoon.

"Huh?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi bit the spoon of shaved ice.

"After all, last year, Shiori was always thinking about what to do to Hirakawa-sensei." Shinohara Shiori said seriously, making Hirakawa Tetsufumi smile.

"The final decision is to kiss me while I'm not paying attention?"

"People like Shizhi, who are always rejected, will also get angry."

"I'm the eldest lady of the Xiaoyuan family, how dare you refuse me—would you have such an idea?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi imitated Miss Xiaoyuan's tone with a smile.

"Sometimes I have a little bit of that thought."

"...It actually hit the mark?"

The corner of Miss Shinohara's mouth lightened: "Ms. Hirakawa who always rejects Shiori is really annoying."

"That doesn't make sense."

"What can Shiori do? Even, at the time, I was still thinking that if this is not enough, maybe Mr. Hirakawa will be locked up."

"..." Hirakawa Tetsubun was silent, and Shinohara Shiori laughed briskly.

"Anyway, last year, Shiori stood beside Mr. Hirakawa with complete intentions and desperate thoughts."

"What about this year?" Hirakawa Zhewen asked quickly.

"This year..." The girl kept sizing him up and didn't speak for a long time.

"what's wrong?"

"Hmm~ nothing." In the end, under his scrutiny, she just shook her head with a faint smile, and she stepped forward, leaning against him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa took Shinohara Shiori into his arms.

"Should it start soon?" She looked up at the night sky in his arms and said.

Hirakawa Zhewen was distracted, and looked up: "It should be soon."

"Ah."

The warmth from the body is transmitted through the soft bathrobe in the arms, and the sweet smell wafts in the summer evening wind. Surrounded by the lively crowd of summer festivals, various conversations enter the ears.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi leaned his head lightly on Shinohara Shiori's again, and the sweet smell lingering at the tip of his nose became more obvious.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

While quietly enjoying the tranquility amidst the noise and even closing his eyes, Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly felt the movement of the girl in his arms.

Shinohara Shiori raised her head, her eyes met with him who just opened his eyes.

"It's nothing." The lights in the ceremony were not bright, but the girl's eyes reflected the crystal light in the twilight night.She smiled very nicely and just denied it.

Hirakawa Tetsubun lowered his head and tapped Shinohara Shiori's lips lightly.

"Okay... it's mango flavored."

"Because of the mango flavor... shaved ice?" Originally, he was just explaining casually, but he looked at the bowl containing shaved ice in his hand, and the finely crushed smoothie showed signs of melting.

"If you don't eat it, it will melt."

"Ms. Hirakawa's will melt too." Shiori Shinohara looked at the shaved ice in Tetsubun Hirakawa's hand that also showed signs of melting.

Hirakawa Zhewen took a look, "Yes."

He hugged the girl's body, walked around her with his right hand, grabbed the shaved ice spoon that his left hand had been holding, took a spoonful, and put it near Shinohara Shiori's mouth.

The eldest lady gave him a suspicious look.

"Ah—" Hirakawa Zhewen looked like feeding a child.

The eldest lady was amused, but she still opened her small mouth, revealing half of her white teeth, and lightly bit the spoon holding the shaved ice.

"It's so cold." After swallowing, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and his posture was a little cute.

"Of course it will freeze if you swallow it in one bite."

"Obviously Mr. Hirakawa scooped it up to Shizhi, why does he look strange to Shizhi?"

"No, how come."

The eldest lady in his arms glanced at him, then raised her hands, also scooped up a spoonful of shaved ice, and handed it to Hirakawa Zhewen's mouth.

"Teacher Hirakawa, ah—" She imitated the appearance of Hirakawa Zhewen just now.

"What is this for?" Hirakawa Zhewen asked with a smile.

"Of course it's for Mr. Hirakawa, ah—"

What, the appearance of this girl opening her mouth slightly and making a sound of "ah" is a bit too cute, especially her eyes that are staring at him seriously, with a smile and love in her eyes.

Hirakawa Tetsubun ignored the spoonful of shaved ice and bent down to kiss the girl.

It seemed too sudden, the moment the lips touched, Shiori Shinohara was still stunned, her blinking eyes were slightly puzzled, and then closed quickly.

It wasn't until they separated that the closed eyes and slender eyelashes parted in the field of vision, revealing the eyes of a girl.

"Shiori is very cute." Hirakawa Tetsufumi answered her eyes.

"..."

"It's cute even in normal times, but it's cuter just now." At the moment Shiori Shinohara's eyes changed, Tetsufumi Hirakawa said quickly again.

Shiori Shinohara laughed, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa also laughed.

In just a few seconds, Hirakawa Zhewen suddenly "hissed" in a breath of cold air.

"What's wrong?" Shinohara Shiori asked quickly.

Hirakawa Tetsubun looked to the side, and Shinohara Shiori followed.On the bathrobe on the arm, there is a ball of smoothie that has not completely melted.

"..."

Shinohara Shiori looked at the spoon in her hand again, naturally, the smoothie on it was already empty.

After waiting for a few seconds, Tetsubun Hirakawa heard Miss Shinohara's solemn voice.

"It's all because Mr. Pingchuan didn't eat just now, it all fell down."

"...Yes, yes, of course it's my fault. Miss Xiaoyuan can't be wrong no matter what she thinks." Hirakawa Tetsufumi also began to speak seriously.

The smile surfaced again, and was restrained again, Shiori Shinohara took out a handkerchief from the small bag, and helped Tetsufumi Hirakawa wipe off the ice sand on his arm.

After wiping, Shiori Shinohara scooped up another spoonful of smoothie and handed it to Hirakawa's mouth.

"Teacher Hirakawa, ah—" started again.

"Yes--"

Hirakawa Tetsubun responded and finally opened his mouth.

It's just that it hasn't touched it yet, and the cool air of shaved ice has just touched the mouth along the late summer air. Suddenly, Hirakawa Tetsufumi saw the light.

From Shinohara Shiori's upturned eyes, from the blurred white cheeks at night, she saw colorful colors.

There was only a pause, and the noisy sounds in the ear were silent for a while, replaced by a huge blooming sound exploding in the ear.

It's the fireworks going off.

Shiori Shinohara raised her head even higher, looking at the fireworks that suddenly exploded.Hirakawa Tetsuwen no longer lowered his head, but raised his head to follow the trail of fireworks.

On the night sky, which was originally like a black curtain, the first firework rose high into the sky, lighting up the night of the summer festival.Before he could react, there were continuous sounds and fireworks that completely covered the night and completely covered the vision.

"It's fireworks."

In the almost deafening sound of blooming, Hirakawa Tetsuwen heard the familiar voice sighing in his ear.

"Yes." Hirakawa Tetsuwen said.

Another fireworks, like the fireworks seen at the summer festival last year, the fireworks greeted by countless praying eyes, gorgeous fireworks... It seems that you can describe it in any way.

Under the gaze of fireworks, Hirakawa Tetsubun lowered his head.He saw some brilliant colors reflected on the young girl's white and tender cheeks, and her eyes were like transparent glass beads, refracting the light.The girl is close at hand.

"Teacher Hirakawa." At the time of eye contact, Tetsufumi Hirakawa heard Shinohara Shiori's affectionate address amidst thousands of blooming sounds.

"Ah."

Hirakawa Tetsubun responded to her.

The eyes of the two met, and they looked at each other under the illumination of the fireworks in the night sky. By coincidence, both of them thought of last year.

The promise of the summer festival last year was not broken, and the two stood here again, looking at each other.

No longer waiting, Shinohara Shiori gently closed her eyes, she stood on tiptoe, Hirakawa Tetsufumi held the girl's soft cheek with one hand, and leaned down.

The cold lips touched together, with the temperature of a girl, the aroma of a girl, the melting mango-flavored smoothie...all of them blended together.

This is another August, summer vacation, the summer heat still envelopes the earth, even if the wind blows at night, the wind also carries the summer temperature that cannot be dissipated.

Hirakawa Tetsubun hugged the girl in the bathrobe again, hugged her into his arms, and savored her kiss carefully.

"so good."

When the sweet and greasy breath that involved the two broke, Shiori Shinohara raised her face, with the fireworks at night as the background, she stared at the face in front of her.

What I think, what I want, what I want... Last year's dream that was like a bubble that would shatter at the touch of a bubble has at least come true at this moment.

She threw herself into Hirakawa's arms and lay on his chest.

"That's great, Hirakawa-sensei..." Shinohara Shiori said again.

No matter last year or now, at least, at the moment when the fireworks are lifted into the air, the person she likes really belongs to her completely, completely, and belongs to her alone.

The sound of fireworks in my ears overwhelmed everything.

"What?" Hirakawa Zhewen didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing... I like you."

Shiori Shinohara closed her eyes again, hugged the warm body in her arms, and dropped the cold bowl of shaved ice that was about to melt to the ground.
