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

Chapter 52

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was a little concerned about the book "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" on Shiori Shinohara's desk.

This book by Milan Kundera is the "Twilight and the Guillotine" he mentioned in front of the girl that evening.

Unexpectedly, she found this book and read it just by mentioning it.

But no matter how much you care about it, time is running out now, and the lunch break is almost over, so let's get straight to the point.

Hirakawa Tetsubun took Shinohara Shiori out of the corridor.

There was continuous rain outside the guardrail, and the sound of pattering rain could be heard in my ears, with students passing by behind me.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Shiori Shinohara quietly, and the girl in front of him also looked at him calmly, and there was no surprise in his eyes that he came to find her.

After a long time, Hirakawa Tetsuwen spoke.

"Xiaoyuan-san..."

Pause for a moment.

"Can you tell me, tell me what happened between you and Yu Gong-san this morning?"

"..."

After asking, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Shiori Shinohara, waiting for her answer.

However, the girl did not answer him immediately, but looked at him curiously.

What is this doing?
Hirakawa Zhewen blinked his eyes, with a puzzled look on his face.Just as she was about to ask again, she suddenly spoke again.

But not an answer, but a question.

"Mr. Hirakawa, why do you ask this?"

"why?"

Hirakawa Tetsuwen recounted it and thought about it.

"If you want to talk about why, as a teacher, I feel that students should try their best to get along with each other... Such a reason."

"is it?"

For some reason, Shinohara Shiori didn't seem to believe it.

Hey... why don't you believe it... otherwise, what reason can there be?
Not knowing what the girl was thinking, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to confirm again.

"of course."

"..."

Afterwards, he saw Shiori Shinohara stretch out her index finger and put it on her chin, as if she was thinking carefully.

After a moment, she lowered her hand and answered him.

"Teacher Hirakawa, I'm sorry, but I don't know either."

"do not know?"

"Yes, it is."

"Does Shinohara-san know why Amamiya-san is acting like that?"

"Ah."

She nodded.

"..."

"Then Shinohara-san, did something happen when I was in contact with Amamiya-san yesterday?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi asked again.

"No."

I got the same negative answer as Amamiya Ye... so it should be that there really is no more.

So why?

Tetsubun Hirakawa looked away from the girl's face in confusion.

If nothing really happened, why does Amameiya think that Shiori Shinohara has... "killing intent"?

He lowered his head, thinking amidst the sound of rain.But after thinking for a long time, I didn't come up with any new and useful answers.

So based on the speculation about Yu Gongye just now... the reason can only be attributed to the girl's second-year illness, right?Because of the fantasy of the second illness, I imagined the aura of the young lady as "killing intent" or something.

I can't think of any other credible explanation other than this one.

"Teacher Hirakawa, did you think of anything?"

After he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, Shinohara Shiori who had been looking at him suddenly called him.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen raised his head.

"Ah, no, nothing."

Shaking his head, he thought there was no need to dwell on this issue any longer.

It's just the fantasy of the second disease, and it should be like this.Although it has not reached the point where the coffin can be concluded, it seems that there are no clues to continue the investigation.

So, to end this question.

However, this answer seems to have some other problems——

In the eyes of Yu Gongye, the young lady Shinohara Shiori has the so-called "killing intent", so the friendship plan between the two girls is completely impossible, right?
Thinking of this, Tetsubun Hirakawa looked at Shiori Shinohara in front of him with some embarrassment.

It's a little hard to say, cancel the plan or something, after all, he was the one who asked Shiori Shinohara at the beginning, and now he asked him to cancel...

But after all, she is a smart young lady, before he could speak, Shiori Shinohara just looked at the expression on his face, and immediately saw what he wanted to say.

The corner of the girl's mouth raised a little, as if she had made some important decision.

She smiled and spoke.

"Mr. Hirakawa, you want to talk about your plan to become friends with Amamiya-san, right?"

"..."

Hirakawa Zhewen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Regarding this, Mr. Hirakawa, don't worry."

"do not worry?"

Hirakawa Tetsubun looked at the girl suspiciously, not knowing why she said that.

From Tetsufumi Hirakawa's point of view, Amamiya Ye had already said yesterday that she wanted to stay away from Shiori Shinohara.

And this morning, the girl with the second illness felt the so-called murderous intent on the eldest lady.

No matter how you look at it, you can basically conclude that the friendship plan between the two girls has failed.

Although Shiori Shinohara didn't know much about the details of Amamiya Ye, but with her intelligence, she should be able to understand this.

So what does the maiden mean now?

Just when she was about to ask, Shiori Shinohara had already opened her mouth to explain.

"As for Yu Gong, I want to be friends with her because of my own will."

"Even if Hirakawa-sensei plans to cancel this plan, I will continue to make friends with Amamiya-san."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was puzzled by Shinohara Shiori's statement.

After a moment of daze.

"Why?" he asked.

At the same time, he looked at Shiori Shinohara's exquisite face, trying to see what the girl was thinking.

Then he saw, under the gloomy sky at this moment, Shiori Shinohara, this young lady suddenly had a bright smile on her face.

This kind of smile is completely different from the usual chuckle or sarcasm.

With such a smile, Shinohara Shiori looked at him without hesitation.Even his eyes were filled with inexplicable brilliance, and the tips of his hair swayed briskly.

"Teacher Hirakawa, I can't tell you about this."

The tone also took on the mischievousness of a young girl.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsubun was in a daze, looking at Shinohara Shiori at this moment, this was the first time he felt this kind of aura from this dignified young lady.

It's a pity that such a rare scene only lasted for a moment.

Before I could record it, the dignified young lady returned to her usual appearance.

"Ms. Hirakawa, that's it." She said.

"..."

"..."

"Ah... yes, that's it..." Hirakawa Zhewen nodded after recovering, expressing that he understood.

"If Shinohara-san is willing to spontaneously become friends with Amamiya-san, it is of course a good thing."

Well, it's a good thing no matter how you look at it, and there's no reason to stop it.

It's impossible for Shinohara Shiori and Amamiya Ye to befriend each other, why don't they have a plan?

Can't imagine what good "picture" can be.

So, so be it.

As for Yu Gongye... For the smile just now, please ask him to do some more ideological work on Yu Gongye.

Made up my mind and made a plan.Hirakawa Zhewen believes that today's affairs should be over.

"Then, Shinohara-san, I've finished what I wanted to say, then..."

Pausing politely, he looked at Shiori Shinohara to see if she had anything else to say.

It turned out that there really was.

"Teacher Hirakawa." Shiori Shinohara spoke again.

"...Well, Shinohara-san, please tell me."

"..."

"..."

The girl's gaze was fixed on him, and she couldn't avoid it.

"What I want to say is, please come to the practice of the flute section tonight."

"..."

"..."

"what?"

Hirakawa Tetsuwen felt that he heard it wrong.

"For tonight's performance part practice, Mr. Hirakawa, please come to me."

The girl's retelling confirmed that he heard correctly.

"..."

This request came too suddenly... It doesn't seem right to say so.

Because this request seems quite normal...

The so-called suddenness was only due to his own reasons... When "not going" became the norm, being asked to go became sudden.

Ok……

Hirakawa Tetsuwen felt a little guilty.But after feeling guilty.He turned his face away, looking at the falling rain outside the corridor.

Friday is a holiday...

"Why did Shinohara-san say that suddenly? I already said it yesterday, so I'll go next week?"

It's a pity that it doesn't do any good to say that.

Shinohara Shiori's eyes were as sharp as light beams piercing the cloudy sky, and he could see the guilt in his heart at once.

"Teacher Hirakawa, you are the instructor."

"..."

"..."

Tetsubun Hirakawa regretted coming to Shiori Shinohara a little bit, only a little bit.

"Okay," he said.

"Well, okay." Shiori Shinohara said the same thing, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Hirakawa, goodbye."

"... Shinohara-san, goodbye."
