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

Chapter 235 The Eve of the National Competition
Time is indeed very emotional.

After the incident caused by misunderstanding in the study on Sunday and Yu Gongye, Hirakawa Tetsufumi had a lot of feelings when he saw the three photo albums.

There is a feeling of infinite emotion and sudden discovery.

It made him realize that in the last life plus this life, his teaching career that lasted for several years and the determination that he had firmly established for more than ten years are not long before the end.

Only a few days left.

Very emotional, but... it seems that there is nothing to say.

It's such a time, don't think about turning back some things, and you can't turn back, the behavior you have done cannot be erased.

So, after closing the album and putting it back on the bookshelf, Hirakawa Tetsuwen never took it down again in the following time.

And even if you want to feel emotional, let's wait until the busy period is over, the recent things are really rushed.

However, the long-lost busy feeling is very good, and it can make him ignore many things because he has no time.

In this way, every day was hurried and slow, and finally, before the national competition, with the efforts of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, the matter of Amamiya Ye successfully ushered in a phased end, and then only the editing was left.

But editing will take some time.

Because, the national competition, after more than a semester, is finally coming.

The time is October 10, and the venue is the Nagoya International Conference Hall.

Therefore, for this national competition, Moritani’s performance department had a two-day camp before the competition, and on the 25th, all members of the performance department arrived in Nagoya City.

……

That night, at the hotel where he stayed, Hirakawa Zhewen stayed alone in the room, a little idling.

There's only one night left until the Nationals, and there's no point in doing anything else.

Of course, for psychological comfort and so on, there should be many students holding the sheet music at this time, right?
But this kind of thing has nothing to do with him, and it's useless for him to read the music score... But he can indeed feel this tense atmosphere.

Anyway, after more than a semester of practice, he can empathize with the students, and he is also a little nervous now.

And it's different from the students, because he can't help much, even if he is a little nervous, he can only stay on the side and can't do anything. This kind of feeling of doing nothing is really not used to it.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was bored in the room waiting for late night and tomorrow, put away his mobile phone while lying on the bed playing with it.

Not in the mood.

Start staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Thoughts go east and west.

For example, the national competition came just like that, so suddenly, more than a semester has passed like this.

For example, what will Moriya achieve this year?The Bronze Award, the Silver Award, or the long-awaited goal of winning the Gold Award?

Also, Shiori Shinohara... this young lady... Forget it, skip this.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi pressed his temples, and the broken thoughts started again.

For example... Reya Hazuki?Hmm... That's right, Reya Hazuki.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen suddenly thought of this student he met in Kyoto.

Now, because of this national competition, she should have come to Nagoya, right?
I can see her at the competition tomorrow...

Hirakawa Zhewen wanted to talk to her again.

About after the game, about resignation, about... Shiori Shinohara.

"..."

How would you describe his current state of mind?

Although he usually tries to ignore it as much as possible, but sure enough, as long as he is free, he can't help but think about it.

It can never be avoided, he resigned because of this...

Naturally, the mood is complicated.

Forget it, it's better to go out for a walk.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa hated locking himself up in a small hotel room, especially when he wasn't in a good mood.

……

Putting on his coat and taking his room card, Hirakawa Tetsuwen just walked out of the hotel room.

I don't know where the destination is, but he has always been like this. Since he decides to go out, the destination is not important, just walk casually.

The moment I walked out of the hotel gate, the evening wind at the end of October rushed towards my face.

After all, it is already autumn, even if you are wearing a coat, it will still be a little cold if you suddenly go out from the warm hotel room.

After adapting at the door for a few seconds, Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked out while looking at the night view of this strange city - Nagoya.

……

I put my hands in the pockets of my coat all the way, and wandered around because I had no destination. The distance I walked was not too far, so as to prevent problems if I got lost.

If, as an instructor, he got lost on the eve of the national wind instrument competition, it would probably become a joke in the industry.

Hirakawa Tetsuwen, who was walking by the street, suddenly thought of such a boring question.

Hmm... But even without him, the performance department can still function as usual, right?
After all, there is Teacher Xiaoli, she is the core of the performance department.

In this way, even if he resigns later, the playing department can continue normally.

Thinking about the messy things, I still couldn't get around the resignation, so I came back to this topic all at once.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi just walked casually.

The night view of Nagoya is nothing to see, of course, it is more likely that he does not have this leisurely mood at all.

Then, after wandering around for a long time, Hirakawa Tetsubun, who felt bored again, planned to go back to the hotel.

People's hearts are probably so contradictory. He obviously wanted to come out just now, but he wanted to go back so soon.

It's as if you've made up your mind to leave your job before, but when it's time to do it, you're thinking about what to do.

It's just like--

Before the second "like" emerged in his heart, Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Because, in the position ahead, under the night lights, he saw an oncoming figure.

Although the number of times of contact was not many, this girl left a deep impression in his heart.

Flat front hair, a well-behaved face that looks cute, but in fact, it looks very ugly when it shows an expression—for example, now, it has only been a few seconds from doubt to disgust after seeing him clearly.

The girl from Kyoto on the opposite side, Hazuki Reya, on this fairly quiet night of meeting, just a few seconds after meeting, she used "quietly, but just enough to hear, making people wonder if she did it on purpose"—— — With such a volume, he muttered.

"Although I already know that I will meet you in this national competition, why do I always meet you at unexpected times?"

"...Probably, we are quite destined."

"I don't want to have a relationship with you."

"Ok?"

"You look like you have something to say, you're in trouble."

The soft and glutinous Kyoto accent, paired with this distasteful tone, is indeed Reya Hazuki, yes, not the twins of Saiko Hazuki——

Hirakawa Tetsubun had such a strange idea.

He couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Hirakawa Zhewen looked at Hazuki Reya, put aside the strange associations in his mind, smiled and shook his head, "But you are right."

"Sure enough, meeting you means encountering trouble." Ye Yueli's tone of disgust did not change.

"perhaps?"

Hirakawa Tetsuwen did not have the will to refute.

From Hazuki Reya's point of view, it is true that the few encounters were all spent in trouble.

She summed it up pretty accurately.

"Tell me, what's the problem this time?"

"Tomorrow is the national competition, do you have time?" Hirakawa Tetsuwen still wanted to talk to the girl after the competition.

"If you're not going to keep me up until late, there's probably time."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hirakawa Tetsufumi sighed in a complicated mood.

"Student Ye Yue, can you please change the wording?"

"No." Hazuki Reya resolutely refused.

There's really nothing you can do about her, just pretend you didn't hear her.

"Are you sure you have time?" Hirakawa Zhewen confirmed.

"It's useless to make impromptu preparations now."

"Too."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen nodded.

One night really can't change anything.

"Then where are you going?" Hazuki Riya asked, but immediately looked at him with guarded eyes after asking, "It can't be a hotel, right?"

"..."

"Absolutely not."

Before Hirakawa Tetsuwen had time to refute, the girl began to guess on her own and quickly rejected the invitation of "possible" existence.

Sure enough, pretending not to hear is the best choice.

Hirakawa Tetsubun faithfully fulfilled his idea and ignored this sentence.

"Walk around, or find a place to sit down, it doesn't matter."

……

The final decision is that it is better to just walk around.

But before the topic officially begins, there are still some other topics.

"Speaking of which, classmate Ye Yue, the competition is about to start, why are you still on the street at night?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi and Hazuki Reya just casually walked along the street after meeting each other suddenly, talking to each other.

Hazuki Reya, who was walking beside him, was about half a meter away from him, turned around to look at him, curled his lips, and replied.

"You are not on the street, you are still the instructor."

"I don't have to compete."

"The instructor is the most important thing. Besides, at this point in time, not being with my own students, but still dating girls from other schools, it's not good."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi replied quite calmly...mainly because of getting used to it.

"Well, it's true that the instructor is very important, but I'm an exception. It doesn't matter if I'm here or not at this time."

"..."

Faced with this kind of answer, Ye Yueli was at a loss for words for a while.

"What do you mean?"

"No, that is to say, it's almost the same with me or without me."

"...You seem to be in a very bad state."

"Have it?"

"It's pretty pessimistic."

"It's okay...it might be." After subconsciously rebutting, he admitted.

"..."

"..."

"So, how have you been lately?"

After a short period of silence, the topic came to the point so naturally.

"Um……"

Hirakawa Tetsuwen pondered for a while, and began to reveal what happened after he returned from Kyoto for the girl beside him.

"Since I came back from Kyoto last time, I have made the final decision with my students—"

"...It's a blessing that you can talk about this kind of topic with me so naturally."

He only opened his mouth to say a word, and Hazuki Reya who was beside him couldn't hold back his complaints.

As a teacher, falling in love with a student and then breaking up, it's really very...

However, Hirakawa Zhewen glanced at her, but it didn't matter - he had already talked to her enough, so of course there would be no unnaturalness.

Hazuki Riya sighed, and then asked: "And then?"

"Then, apart from seeing her in class and in the activity room of the playing department, I haven't communicated with her anymore."

"...So just like what you said last time, did you really choose that teacher?"

"Well. After that, after making the decision, I confessed to Hisada-sensei that I will resign in the future, and, as agreed, I will deal with everything before resigning, and then we will be together."

"..."

When hearing the word "together", as a single girl, Reya Hazuki changed a little bit unbearably.

"...Then does she know about you and your students?"

"Although this kind of concealment is a bit... despicable. But I really can't say it."

Hazuki Riya had already started to have a headache, she put her hands on her forehead and said, "Sure enough, I knew your business was very troublesome."

"Hey." Hirakawa Zhewen smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's right."

"But it can't be all your fault..." After thinking about it, Hazuki Riya still comforted him, "Didn't it mean that you were hypnotized or something."

"I don't have any evidence for this, not to mention that the matter has already happened, so it's useless to evade it."

"...All right." Ye Yueli didn't know what to say.

"Then after you?"

"After a while, I will officially resign, and it will not be a few days."

"...Well, the game is over?"

"almost."

"..."

"..."

"Let me ask you a question."

"Well, ask."

"Do you still like that student?"

On the streets of Nagoya, the lights at night seemed a little dazzling in the dark night.

"like."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen said.

"Oh."

Hazuki Reya nodded without surprise.

"You are really bad."

"Indeed."

"why?"

"..."

……

Regarding this reason, Hirakawa Tetsufumi did not answer Hazuki Reya.

Anyway, tomorrow is the National Competition, and this girl also used some strange words to explain that it is best not to delay her for too long - the sentence "If you don't plan to toss me until late, there is probably time."

If we continue to talk, it probably won't be able to finish in a while.

"The game ends tomorrow, let's talk about it."

After saying this, this sudden encounter with Reya Hazuki ended.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi returned to the hotel.
