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

Chapter 137 Things Are Going in a Strange Direction

Hitomi Takao and Kaoru Inaba are now Shiori Shinohara's special private detectives.

The goal is to investigate clearly whether Mr. Hirakawa and Mr. Xiaoli have "private communication".

Ok……

As for why things turned out like this...

It can only be said that if we have to weigh both ends of the balance, the identity of the Shinohara family is still more important than the so-called "keep a secret".

In short, it didn't take too much effort for Shiori Shinohara to go from saying "absolutely never say it" with a firm face to "buy one, get one free, and give away a piece of gossip about Hirakawa-sensei and Hisada-sensei".

Even Moritani can't be all young ladies of her level.

In contrast, Hitomi Takao and Kaoru Inaba can only be described as middle class.

A certain amount of identity suppression coupled with bribery is still very effective.

Of course, after learning about the gossip between the two, Shiori Shinohara was in an unexpectedly bad mood.

——Let’s not mention that.

Kaoru Inaba glanced at Tetsufumi Hirakawa who was standing in front of the tram platform waiting for the train, then turned his head, looked at Hitomi Takao who was immersed in the atmosphere of stalking, and asked.

"Hitomi, tell me, what exactly is Shinohara-san thinking?"

"Who knows what kind of bad taste that young lady has." Gao Weitong said casually, "Maybe she is gossiping like us."

"...you're the only gossip."

"It's fine." Takao Hitomi didn't care.

No matter what, the eldest lady who looks dignified and rejects everyone for thousands of miles is still very oppressive in the eyes of ordinary students like them.

Faced with such a request, it is difficult to say no.

And even more so when she said "don't ask too much" with a cold face.

Besides—

"Anyway, there is a reward, and it's not for nothing." Takao Hitomi was still a little excited, "I just want to buy a SLR, and the pocket money is not enough."

"And, don't you think it's interesting to follow this thing?"

"..." Kaoru Inaba did not refute, but looked not far away, and reminded, "Teacher Hirakawa is on the tram."

"it is good."

Takao Hitomi responded, and the two of them got into the car together.

Another reason is that the journey home of Hitomi Takao and Kaoru Inaba overlapped for a large part.

In this way, the intensity of this work is greatly reduced.

In most cases, they just need to go home from school as usual and follow along.

In this way, while chatting and talking, the two occasionally took time to look at Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

Get off the tram until Hirakawa Tetsufumi arrives at the station.

"Let's go, the official work is about to start." Takao Hitomi announced, taking the lead in attacking, "Anyway, it's only two days, and Teacher Tianpingchuan and Teacher Xiaoli will go on a business trip together later."

"I know." Kaoru Inaba followed behind her.

"Also, going on a business trip together, is this another strong proof that Mr. Hirakawa and Mr. Xiaoli are related?"

"Maybe it's just Hirakawa-sensei who is learning wind music from Ogasa-sensei." Kaoru Inaba still remembers this sentence when he was staying together.

"That's right, that's right, learning to play wind instruments—oh, wait a minute."

After walking a few steps, Hitomi Takao exclaimed in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Inaba asked.

"You see, those are Hirakawa-sensei and Ogasa-sensei, right?" Hitomi Takao spoke a little faster, "I didn't expect to meet them on the first day."

"Eh? Where is it? Let me take a look." Kaoru Inaba tiptoed to look around.

"There, see? Also, be careful, we are following."

"Yes." Kaoru Inaba nodded.

But at this moment——

Hitomi Takao suddenly reached out and pulled Kaoru Inaba.

"—Wait! Teacher Hirakawa is here."

"Eh—? Didn't you see it?"

"should not."

-

Saiko Ogasa followed Hirakawa Tetsufumi and looked in a certain direction.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what's the matter?"

"Ah, nothing."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen turned back.

"It should be a little too tired. When I come back this Saturday, I will have a good rest."

"..."

"By the way, what is Mr. Xiaoli planning to tell me? Do you want to talk about it here, or find a store?"

"That's it for now. I want to talk briefly about Mr. Hirakawa's visit to Uyama High School, but—"

Saiko Ogasa hesitated for a moment, found a pretty good starting point, and asked.

"Is Teacher Hirakawa tired?"

"It won't happen if it's just for a while, Mr. Xiaoli, don't worry."

"Nah."

Saiko Ogasa shook her head.

"I want to say, about going to Yushan University, if Mr. Hirakawa is so busy with work that he is very tired, why did he promise me to go with me?"

"Ah... this."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen thought about it, and said it as a matter of course.

"Ms. Xiaoli himself said that he is not good at solving the current problems of the performance department. As the instructor of the performance department, of course I will go out of duty."

"Just because of this?"

"of course."

"But." Saiko Ogasa tilted her head and put on a naturally dumbfounded look, "Ms. Hirakawa doesn't usually care about the performance department, why does she care about it at this time?"

To be honest, Saiko Ogasa's impression of Tetsufumi Hirakawa... can be said to be a bit bad.

Because in her perspective constructed from her sister's description, Hirakawa Tetsufumi is a teacher who often neglects her duties, throws all the work to her sister, and keeps picking on her sister's faults (such as saying before Her sister's way of teaching is not quite right).

Let me ask, as a sister who loves her sister very much, how could she have too much affection for him?
Therefore, when we agreed on a business trip together, my sister was naturally dumb and wouldn't say anything. As a younger sister, I absolutely had to figure it out.

In the end is the teacher's responsibility or what other reasons.

Facing the slightly tricky question of "Ogasa Suzukiko", even Hirakawa Tetsufumi fell silent for a while.

After a long time, he turned his face away to look elsewhere.

"Actually, I usually care about the flute section."

"Huh?" Saiko Ogasa was puzzled.

"Very concerned."

For emphasis, Hirakawa Tetsufumi repeated it on purpose.

"In fact, I have been silently paying attention to every move in the performance department. Therefore, whenever there is any problem in the performance department, I can find out immediately, right, Mr. Ogasa?"

"Eh...?" Saiko Ogasa was puzzled.

"As for not coming to the performance department, it's just because I always know that professional things should be done by professional people."

"I believe Mr. Xiaoli is a professional music consultant, and there is no need for me, a layman, to tell me what to do."

"This also represents my trust in Teacher Xiaoli."

Hmm... This sentence about trust is so familiar... I seem to have said it twice before... Forget it, it's not important.

After a short pause, Hirakawa Tetsufumi continued.

"The practice is fully entrusted to Mr. Xiaoli, and the student work, Mr. Xiaoli can also rest assured to leave it to me."

"We have achieved some kind of unity through complementary ways, working together for the wind section, and that's our job."

"And this visit involves student work, so I am naturally obliged to go, no matter how tired I am, I will go."

Hirakawa Zhewen spoke this passage with great force.

Of course, if the audience is Kuta Moki or Shinohara Shiori who are familiar with him, they will definitely be able to see through his words-in the end, they are very cunning to avoid laziness and cover them up with other things.

Especially Kuta Moshu, just by looking at his movements or listening to his tone, one can guess whether he is serious or nonsense.

But Saiko Ogasa was not one of them.

And it can be said that he is not familiar with him at all.

"..."

Facing the sluggish "Ogasa Suzuki", Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at her seriously again, "Anyway, that's it. Do you have any questions, Mr. Ogasa?"

"..."

After a long time, Saiko Ogasa said blankly, "No more..."

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Xiaoli."

"...Goodbye, Teacher Hirakawa."
