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

Chapter 132 Teacher Hirakawa, no matter what, you will be with this body, right?
Under the gloomy sky, Hirakawa Tetsufumi followed the girl's footsteps and walked on the side of the street.

On the fluttering skirt, delicate lace folds into the eyes.

He watched the girl's back and listened to her voice.

"When I went out this morning, the weather was still a bit cold."

A sentence that the girl didn't understand became the opening remark, and after a moment's pause, she continued to speak.

"When I opened the door, my mother brought a piece of clothing, put it on for me, and helped me button it up, tidy the clothes, told me to be careful when I went out, and asked me if I wanted something at night. food."

"Sounds like an ordinary scene, right? Teacher Hirakawa."

Hirakawa Zhewen responded, indicating that he was listening carefully.

Then, Yu Gongye changed the topic.

"But a long time ago, such a scene would not have happened in my house."

"..."

In Hirakawa Zhewen's silence, Yu Gongye lowered his head and stared at her toes.

As if immersed in some kind of memory, she spoke very slowly.

"It was very early—when I was in elementary school, both my mother and my father were very busy at work."

"My mother has several businesses under her name, and her daily work is not just work."

"Don't talk about watching me go out so gently like today. Under normal circumstances, I don't see her a few times."

"She was still working when I was in school, and she was still working when I was out of school. Maybe she could only get home when I went to bed."

"It's usually just me and two maids at home."

"This situation has continued until the middle of our country."

"Teacher Hirakawa, do you know what happened?"

"..."

Hirakawa Zhewen tried to guess, "...a hidden body?"

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with it." Yu Gongye immediately turned around, nodded, and then smiled at him, "Teacher Hirakawa still knows this body very well."

"..."

On this street, the girl stopped.Hirakawa Tetsuwen also had to stop, looking at the girl in front of him.

The smile on Yu Gongye's face did not diminish.

"While in high school in my country, I learned to entertain myself."

"..."

Entertaining yourself...?

Hirakawa Zhewen repeated the word in his heart, but he was a little speechless.

Yu Gongye's voice changed to a different style, a little colder.Hirakawa Zhewen who is familiar with her can know that this is a secret body.

"Since no one can accompany you in this world, then just entertain yourself."

"So this body appeared."

"It doesn't matter if it's called the second disease, or anything else. Anyway, whether it's this world or this body, I don't like to act with others. We enjoy this state very much."

"..."

It is normal for families who can consider millions of yen as pocket money to not see their parents.

In such a state, the unaccompanied child began to entertain herself, and she closed her heart, comforting and accompanying herself with another fabricated personality.

She is immersed in it.

"But, obviously, the world thinks that's wrong."

"Because of the maid's description, the mother discovered the abnormality of the present body."

"She blamed herself."

"She attributed all the responsibility to the failure of her own mother's responsibility."

"She thinks that all the abnormalities in this world are due to her lack of company."

"So, in the second year of middle school, my mother put down all her work and spent all her time on me."

Yu Gongye's faint voice came out of her mouth and drifted into her ears.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi could only remain silent.

After discovering the abnormality of the child, he gave up all his jobs in self-blame and became a full-time wife.

This is Yu Gongye's mother.

Of course, the truth of the matter may not be as plain as what Yu Gongye said, and this is definitely not something that can be summed up by a simple "so".

The process, the communication between mother and daughter, and perhaps disputes and conflicts are all hidden in a corner that he cannot see.

"After my mother stopped working, she has been by my side all the time. There will never be a situation where I can only see the maid when I go home."

"When I get home every day, it's my mother who opens the door for me. My mother cooks three meals a day."

"What is she spending all her time with me for?"

Yu Gongye asked a question back, and immediately asked and answered by himself.

"My mother wants me to grow up healthy."

"Facing her, what can this body say willfully?"

"This body is abnormal, it should not exist, and it does not meet the mother's expectations for healthy growth. Therefore, this body can only disappear in front of the mother."

"..."

Worried about the growth of the child, the mother who gave up her job with all her strength.Maybe she was a little dereliction of duty before, but when she made such a decision, such a "sacrifice" was destined to bring out the "heaviness" of maternal love.

Love premised on sacrifice must be heavy.

Even if her mother didn't emphasize it, never said "I've given up my job because of you."

But sensitive children must be aware of the heaviness.

As it happens, Yu Gongye is actually a very sensitive child.

The mother has made a sacrifice, and naturally, she has to make an equal sacrifice, and she has to respond to her mother's expectations.

As a result, the hidden body disappeared at home.

This is the case of Yu Gongye.

After hearing all this, Hirakawa Tetsuwen was a little dull.

He quietly looked at the girl standing in front of him, the expression on her face was extremely calm, and there were not too many disturbances when she talked about this matter.

But Hirakawa Zhewen can understand that...sorrow.

As far as the hidden body is concerned, she is completely denied by her mother.

It is considered abnormal and needs to be separated from the "mortal body".

However, can the secret body that has been with her for so long really be easily let go?
Unable to let go, he could only pretend in front of his mother.

With a closed heart, he is destined not to confide in his mother.Even, become more closed in the disguise.

Hirakawa Zhewen didn't know how to evaluate this kind of thing.

There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing.

Whether it was Yu Gongye's mother or Yu Gongye, they all made concessions for each other.

In fact, both mother and daughter are responding to each other's expectations.

Yu Gongye felt lonely and unaccompanied, so her mother gave up her job and did her best to accompany her.

Her mother hoped that the child would grow up healthily, so Yu Gongye made the secret body disappear at home.

Nobody did anything wrong, but—

"Teacher Pingchuan, tell me, what qualifications do you have to be self-willed when facing your mother?"

The girl's follow-up thoughts, such as the current sentence, must be problematic.

Hirakawa Tetsubun stared at the young girl's immature face pretending to be serious.

She was like a doll placed in the corner of the cabinet, used to entertaining herself, until one day, she was placed in the center.

Such a change made her at a loss, and such an emphasis made her at a loss.

She was doubting her eligibility.

"Student Amamiya is of course qualified."

Hirakawa Tetsubun said confidently, and even said it again to emphasize this point.

"Very qualified."

"Where are the qualifications?"

"You are still a child, so you don't have to support yourself."

"is it?"

"Of course. Or if you think about it, if your mother knows that all the happiness is faked by you, will she really be satisfied?"

"...It's not all a disguise."

"Ok?"

"I am really happy that my mother can accompany me."

"Well, yes, I know."

It is precisely because of the joy that, out of this joy, and in connection with the sacrifices made by the mother, I want to "make up" for the mother's sacrifice.

This is really childish naive thinking.

Also cute.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen took a step closer and stood in front of Yu Gongye.

He spoke slowly in a gentle tone.

"Although the teacher has no children, I don't know what it means to be a parent. But, it can be seen that Yugong does have a mother who loves you very much."

"And from the standpoint of the elders, I guess that Yu Gong's mother should also be unwilling to see this kind of thing happen."

"She hopes that you can grow up healthily, but Yugong-student has closed his heart like this, and doesn't tell her when he has something, is it really responding to her expectations?"

"..."

Yu Gongye stopped talking.

"You don't have to think that this kind of thing will bother your mother. As a child, you don't have to support yourself. You see, it's good to talk to the teacher like today."

"But……"

"But what?"

"Teacher Hirakawa is the only one who thinks that this body is not abnormal."

Hirakawa Tetsubun smiled: "That's just because the teacher understands this kind of thing better. In the eyes of parents who don't know much, this may indeed be a problem. That's why we need to communicate more."

"..."

"Communication is the key. If you close your heart, it will only lead to problems that will never be solved. Yu Gong also hopes that your mother can understand you, right?"

"……Um."

"That's right."

"But how?"

"If you have any difficulties, you can ask the teacher, and I will help Amamiya-san."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. As a teacher, helping students solve problems is part of their job."

Yu Gongye thought for a while, and added: "The teacher also signed a contract with this body."

"...Yes, the contract." Hirakawa Tetsubun paused for a moment, nodded and confirmed, "I also signed the contract, so I will definitely help Amamiya-san."

"That--"

At this young girl in a Lolita dress, who was passing by the street, she suddenly extended her right hand to him.

"what happened?"

Hirakawa Tetsubun looked at Amameya Ye's raised little finger.

"Continue to sign a contract."

"It's time for another contract."

"of course."

"Okay, okay." Hirakawa Zhewen smiled helplessly, stretched out his little finger, hooked up with the girl's slender little finger, "What kind of contract is it?"

"Teacher Hirakawa, no matter what, you will be with this body, right?"

"Yes, I'll be with you."

"always?"

"Well, all the time."

In the eyes of passers-by on the street, under their witness, their thumbs pressed together.

-

In the afternoon, when Yu Gongye changed her clothes and returned home, she opened the door and it was her mother who greeted her.

"I'm back."

"Xiaoye is back, are you having fun at your classmate's house?"

"happy."

"That's good, then go and change your clothes. For dinner, I'm going to make your favorite foie gras."

"Well, thank you mom."

"Eh? Thank you all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing."
