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

Chapter 212 Arrival on the agreed day ([-])

August 8th, August 18th, time is moving towards the agreed date.

On August 8, the agreement with Hisada-sensei... Hirakawa Tetsufumi didn't think about what to do.

Before the matter with Shiori Shinohara was fully resolved, fulfilled the agreement and confessed to Hisada?
Or put the agreement on hold first, and wait until the matter with Shiori Shinohara comes to an end, then decide?
……

he does not know.

During these two days of free time, he was thinking about this question.However, in fact, most of the time, he is immersed in the various attractions in Kyoto.

He bought a Kyoto travel guidebook at the bookstore, and then, following the recommended attractions on the guidebook, he walked aimlessly in turn.

Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kinkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple...

Along the Kamo River, the Uji River, and the Uji Bridge where a character named "Kumiko Komae" passes by.

He walked through most of the popular attractions in Kyoto at a slow pace.

When visiting, let your mind be empty, with mountains and water in your eyes, and pictures in your mind.

He put all the problems aside for the time being, and the things in Tokyo seemed to be far away.

He just calmed down and enjoyed the beauty of the ancient city of Kyoto wholeheartedly.

Until his mind was filled with all kinds of beautiful scenery, he had visited all the popular attractions in Kyoto.

Then, on the afternoon of August 8th.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen was walking back to the hotel, with the golden sun shining near dusk in the afternoon above his head.

The scorching sun, with its scorching heat, also dyed the buildings in Kyoto in front of me golden.

He strolled down the street, looking at the brilliant golden capital, and then at the sky full of clouds.

The mind that had been empty for two days was inexplicably concentrated at this moment, and the problems that had gone away were suddenly concentrated in the heart that opened with the scenery.

Then, in an almost mystical way—

An ordinary step landed on the stone road, making a faint clanging sound.

As it happened, it suddenly became clear.

With the lifting of the footsteps, the question that was pent up in the heart seemed to have an answer suddenly.

Until it fell, Hirakawa Zhewen stood in place for a few seconds, and then, when he lifted his feet again, he turned a corner.

……

The convenience store is familiar with the location, but it's not at night, will Reya Hazuki be there?
Hirakawa Tetsuwen didn't think much, he looked at the location of the convenience store and walked forward.

Walking all the way to the door, he opened it and walked in.

"..."

"..."

Footsteps stopped at the door, Hirakawa Tetsufumi and the girl behind the cashier looked at each other.

Wearing a clerk's uniform and a peaked cap, the eyes under neat bangs seemed to be looking at something troublesome.

"Good afternoon." Hirakawa Zhewen said hello.

"……good afternoon."

Hazuki Reya's greeting obviously stayed in his mouth for a moment before he said it with a sigh.

Hirakawa Zhewen didn't care, and walked inside.

"Why are you here again?" Her voice came from behind, "You won't encounter any problems again, right?"

"..."

These words exposed the girl's psychology. No wonder she had a look of seeing something troublesome. So in her eyes, did he come here to be troublesome?

Hirakawa Zhewen didn't take a Coke this time, but a bottle of mineral water.

"No." He explained when he walked to the cashier.

"Then why is it coming again?" Reya Hazuki scanned the label of the mineral water with a scanner in his hand, "100 yen."

"I figured it out." Hirakawa Tetsufumi said, and handed Hazuki Reya the 100 yen change that he gave him two nights ago.

"Have you figured it out?" Ye Yueli took the change and asked, "What did you agree with that teacher?"

"Ah."

"Did you come here just to tell me something?"

"Otherwise?" Hirakawa Tetsubun lifted the mineral water, unscrewed the bottle cap, and nodded as a matter of course.

"..." Ye Yueli glanced at him silently, as if she wanted to say something.

"Stop." Before the girl could speak, Hirakawa Zhewen was the first to stop.

"……what?"

"I just think, after all, you chatted with me for so long the night before yesterday, so I should tell you about this, that's all."

"That's all?" Suspicious eyes swept across his face.

"Of course, don't say anything strange."

"Tch—" Ye Yueli turned her face away.

Judging by her expression, there must have been some strange words lingering in her mouth just now, but luckily she stopped.

"Then what's the result?" Reya Hazuki turned back after just turning around, "Could it be that he finally figured out that he wants to be a scumbag?"

Hirakawa Zhewen regarded the second half of the sentence as non-existent, took a sip of water, and then said: "I came here to tell you, I just figured it out, as for the result... I don't know."

"Not sure?"

Reya Hazuki asked back to the back who turned and walked towards the door of the convenience store.

"Well, I don't know what the result will be. However, I bought a ticket back to Tokyo tonight." Hirakawa Tetsufumi said, and then, before walking out of the convenience store, he turned around and said something.

"Finally, thank you, classmate Ye Yue. And, goodbye."

Following this "goodbye", Hazuki Riya watched Hirakawa Tetsufumi's back gradually disappear outside the door, disappearing in the golden luster.

"..."

inexplicably.

She pouted.

Just at this time, another customer walked into the convenience store.

"welcome."

The corners of Ye Yueli's mouth immediately closed, and then put on a cute and business-like smile.

By the way, the next meeting will probably be a national competition, right?
……

Walking under the sunlight gradually changing towards sunset, Hirakawa Tetsubun took out his mobile phone and called Hisada Moshu.

Not long after the bell rang, the phone was connected.

"Hello? Teacher Hirakawa?"

Accompanied by a slightly noisy background sound, the female teacher's voice, which he hadn't heard for a long time, soon came from the phone.

"Well, it's me, Mr. Hisada." It seems that I haven't heard her voice for a long time - although the last time I heard her voice was actually number 14, but the state was very wrong at that time, so it doesn't count - now listening to her voice The words, Hirakawa Tetsufumi actually had a feeling of nostalgia.

Hisada's voice was really gentle.

"What's the matter? Teacher Hirakawa finally called me?"

"Eh……"

"Ok?"

Hirakawa Tetsubun listened to Hisada's voice, hesitated for a moment, and spoke.

"I feel that Hisada-sensei's voice is a bit resentful."

"No." The gentle voice seemed to be the same as before.

"do not have it?"

"Well, it's probably just the illusion that Mr. Hirakawa hasn't heard me speak for a long time."

"..."

Okay, I was not sure at first, but now that I say this sentence, I am really sure.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen couldn't help showing a little smile.

"Ah... sorry, Hisada-sensei."

"Huh? Teacher Hirakawa, what are you sorry for?"

"Well... I'm just sorry for worrying Hisada-sensei."

"..." It seemed that she was really angry, she didn't speak, and waited for him to speak.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen explained with a wry smile: "I'm sorry Mr. Hisada, these past few days, I really made you worry."

On the 14th, after telling Moshu Hisada that he was leaving Tokyo, Tetsufumi Hirakawa hadn't had much contact with the female teacher in the next few days, and he only talked to her before coming to Kyoto.

From his standpoint, it's normal for him not to dare to contact her when something like this happens.

But think about it from the standpoint of a female teacher——

Looking at him on the 14th, he looked like something serious had happened, and then he just kept silent for the next few days, and even when the appointed time came, there was no movement, so it was natural for her to be worried.

Thinking of this, Hirakawa Tetsufumi's tone was full of apology.

"But now, I've figured out what happened."

"I know." That's the reply on the other side of the phone.

"Huh?" Hirakawa Zhewen was still a bit stunned, "Ms. Jiuta knows? How did you know?"

"Humph."——Indistinctly, there seemed to be such a small hum, and then the voice of the female teacher continued to emerge in my ears.

"Teacher Pingchuan called, and the first sentence I said, I knew the matter had been resolved."

"Hey..." Hirakawa Zhewen slowed down a bit.

"Hmm." A picture of a young and beautiful teacher nodding affirmatively appeared in my mind.

"Is it that great?"

"Of course, I can hear it."

"..."

This teacher must be too familiar with him.

Hirakawa Zhewen didn't know what to say for a while—and he also realized that it was probably because he found that his problem had been solved, so this female teacher had the petty temper just now.

If he had changed his tone just now, a tone of distress that the problem was not resolved, she would probably have changed her attitude and started to comfort him.

Kuta is really scary.

"Ms. Kuta, you are really scary."

"Huh?" Kuta Moshu, who was on the other side of the phone, was a little confused by this sudden emotion.

It seems that even the great Hisada-sensei cannot be omniscient.

Hirakawa Tetsubun smiled: "It's nothing, it's nothing - Mr. Kuta, do you know why I'm calling you?"

"Hmm..." Moshu Kuta thought for a while, and answered him, "Since the problem has been resolved, then Mr. Hirakawa is planning to tell me on the phone that he is going back to Tokyo, right? After all, it is an agreement."

"Well, Mr. Hisata is really scary."

"...So, why is it scary, not powerful?"

"No, that's what I wanted to say."

"Okay... right?" Reluctantly accepted this statement.

Then, he heard the words turn around.

"However, Mr. Hirakawa can cancel this ticket now." Amidst the noisy background sound, Hisada Moshu's voice seemed to carry a little smile.

"Huh? Why?" Hirakawa Zhewen couldn't react yet.

"..."

There was no more speaking on the other side of the phone, only a little noise remained.

This left him plenty of reaction time.

"..."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi gradually stopped walking on the streets of Kyoto.

"... Mr. Kuta?"

"Hmm." The female teacher confirmed his inner guess.

"Hey——" Hirakawa Tetsuwen dragged the end of his voice in surprise.

……

……

……

Kyoto at night is plunged into darkness—this classic city, especially its fringe areas, is completely different from Tokyo.

At night in Tokyo, the lights are bright, even more gorgeous than during the day.

The night in Kyoto is quiet by contrast.

It was in this slight silence that Hirakawa Tetsubun came to Kyoto Station, stood at the exit of Kyoto Station, and waited quietly.

Well, he really didn't expect it, because the agreed date was coming soon, and he never told her when to go back, and then, this teacher actually bought the ticket to Kyoto directly.

Unexpected.

However, it's also his fault... He didn't say when he would go back, and he didn't call her until today, the evening of the 19th.

At that time, Hisada-sensei just got into the car.

"..."

Ok……

But since we're all here, let's stay in Kyoto.

As time went by, the news of Hisada Moki's arrival came from the line, Hirakawa Tetsuwen stared at the empty exit, waiting for her figure.

Waiting, waiting, finally, the first figure appeared in the field of vision.

If there is no accident, this is the Shinkansen train that the female teacher is riding on.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen concentrated his attention and searched.

……

"Teacher Hirakawa."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was still staring around the exit, was suddenly patted lightly on his right shoulder.

"..."

It's not enough to be scared, but Hirakawa Zhewen was indeed stunned for a moment before turning around, and then...

In front of him, there was a young and beautiful female teacher with a gentle smile on her oval face and the corner of her mouth.

"good evening."

"..." Hirakawa Zhewen glanced at the exit, and then at the teacher in front of him.

"Ms. Kuta?"

"Ok?"

"..."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi finally sighed.

Kuta Moki was still smiling.

……

Side by side, Hirakawa Tetsuwen walked out with the teacher.

"It's too sudden that Mr. Jiutian came." Walking, Hirakawa Zhewen still couldn't help it, and sighed with emotion.

The teacher beside him nodded and said:
"I can't help it, Mr. Hirakawa is too worrying."

"A few days ago, I suddenly didn't know why, and I looked like that in front of me. Then I said, I'm going to leave Tokyo for a while."

"After that, there was no news at all."

"Think about it, according to Mr. Hirakawa, who can't take care of himself well, if he calls me in the middle of the night again, saying 'great Mr. Hisada, help me', or something, this time he came to Kyoto alone, That would be really dangerous."

"So, to prevent that, I'm here."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsubun always felt that this style of finding reasons was very familiar.

Did the once innocent female teacher really learn from him?
Hirakawa Tetsuwen complained: "Mr. Hisata, that time was just an accident. Also, how long will it take to remember this incident?"

"Remember until you forget."

"..."

A slightly playful answer, but, for some reason, Hirakawa Tetsubun did not continue to respond.

"..."

"..."

The joy of seeing each other again after a long time, after a short greeting, gradually cooled down in the silence.

The two walked out of the station and walked along the night road.

Then, amidst the ups and downs of footsteps, Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly spoke at a certain moment.

The tone, with a touch of helplessness.

"Actually, Mr. Jiutian, you probably have a vague guess as to what troubles me these few days?"

"Yeah." Hisata Moshu responded quite quickly, and his voice still seemed relaxed, "After all, the incident happened just after we met, and before the appointment, if I didn't have any associations, it's unlikely. .”

"..."

Sure enough.
