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

Chapter 282 The Incident Begins

Uh... go to the playground, why?
Tetsubun Hirakawa stared blankly at Shiori Shinohara, his eyes full of doubts and puzzlement.

"Playground?" he asked again and again.

"Yes." Shinohara Shiori got another affirmation.

"……why?"

Why a playground?
When she was at home, she did tell him that she was looking for him because she had a problem, right?
Since there is a problem and I want to find him to solve it, why is it a playground?Is there something in the playground that he needs to solve?Hmm... play with her?

What kind of problem is this?
Hirakawa Tetsuwen didn't understand anything.

But facing his inquiry, Miss Shinohara remained calm as usual, explaining lightly.

"Teacher Hirakawa, when the time comes, Shiori will naturally explain it clearly to you."

"..."

It's this rhetoric again, when the time is up, I will explain it clearly... When will the time be up?

When I was at home, I thought it was time, but in the end, I just asked him to accompany her out for a while.

Now I have answered where I am going, but I can tell the destination clearly when I am at home, but I will not explain it to him until it is almost here... because there will always be a kind of "everything is coming" in people's hearts. It was an obvious cunning use of this to explain it to him now.

"Teacher Hirakawa, let's go."

Looking at the gate of the amusement park that had arrived in front of him, shining brilliantly in the dark, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed helplessly.

"OK."

……

Because of Christmas, various places in the playground are covered with five-color light strips.

The light strips are intertwined with each other, covering each other, illuminating the night into colorful colors.

This is the Christmas light show, which has been held in various places since mid-December near Christmas.

The amusement park here today is no exception.

After walking in, Hirakawa Tetsufumi saw streamers, dazzling streamers.

In front, there are many people, couples or friends who came out to play together, standing in front of the lights, posing in various poses to take pictures.

Hirakawa Tetsubun's eyes swept across it, and then turned to the girl next to him who was also illuminated by various lights.

"So, Shinohara-san, what are you going to do now?"

The girl's crystal eyes are also full of brilliance, reflecting the world filled with colors in front of her.

she answered softly.

"Come to the playground, of course I want Teacher Hirakawa to play with Shiori."

"..."

"Is there any question?" During his brief silence, Shinohara Shiori looked at him and asked.

"...No, nothing."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen hesitated and shook his head.

Although this possibility had been considered before coming in, could it be said that the girl's so-called problem was really to let her play with her tonight?

Hirakawa Tetsubun had this kind of doubt in his heart, and then, Shinohara Shiori continued to look at him, as if he could see through his inner thoughts at the moment.

"Teacher Hirakawa, Shiori can make it clear that this is not the only case."

"...Is that so?"

"Ah."

Shinohara Shiori responded, and stepped forward: "But, before the real problem comes, Hirakawa-sensei, can you play with Shiori seriously first?"

"This one……"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi followed Shinohara Shiori and walked forward.

"OK."

It's all here, since Shiori Shinohara will explain to him after he said it, let's wait until later, for the time being, just accompany her for a while.

……

"Speaking of which, this is the first time Shiori has come to a place like an amusement park."

"Eh...is that so?"

"Ah."

"It's never been here before."

"..."

"If you want to talk about the reason, it's because Shiori didn't have any free time for herself when she was a child. Later, because she was always alone, there was nothing to do this kind of shopping."

"...If you're always alone, it's really boring to go to the playground."

"Hmm. So Hirakawa-sensei, do you have any recommended items?"

"This...carousel of classic projects?"

"...It seems a little childish."

"Although it is true to say so, you must experience this classic project, right?"

"Ok."

……

"Hmm... how do you feel?"

"I don't feel anything, and I don't understand the meaning of this kind of project at all."

"Eh……"

"What does Teacher Hirakawa think?"

"It's a bit too much to say... This kind of project is mainly played by children."

"That is to say, if you didn't experience it when you were a child, you can no longer experience the fun of this kind of project?"

"Maybe."

"But Shiori feels that Shiori probably wouldn't like such a boring project when she was a child."

"……All right."

……

"Then where do we go next?"

"roller coaster?"

"..."

"Afraid?"

"No, there's absolutely nothing to be afraid of in this kind of project."

"If you're scared, don't be brave."

"Absolutely not."

"alright."

……

"Eh... so, Shinohara-san? Shinohara-san?"

"Shiori...no problem."

"...Is it really all right? I feel like you're going to faint."

"It's all right... Hirakawa-sensei, give me a hand."

"...Okay, I said don't be brave."

"..."

"Sit here first, let me buy a bottle of water?"

"Trouble, Mr. Hirakawa."

……

"Well, um, how do you feel now?"

"Feel much better."

"That's good. Speaking of which, Shinohara-san, what do you think of this project?"

"There will never be a second time."

"...Okay, okay."

Because sitting here is too embarrassing, right?It's a disgrace to the face of a young lady from a famous family.

……

"what's next?"

"Hmm... Since the merry-go-round is too boring and the roller coaster is too thrilling... let's make a compromise and go to the pirate ship?"

"Pirate Ship?"

"Ah."

"what is that?"

"Have you never heard of it?"

"is it not OK?"

"It's okay...it's just a kind of facility that swings around, you'll know it when you look at it."

……

"See? This is it."

"Shiori is not short-sighted."

"Okay, okay, let's go."

……

"how do you feel?"

"good."

"Oh——Congratulations, this is Miss Shinohara's first positive comment today. I think the pirate ship will be moved to tears if she knows about it."

"..."

"Am I right?"

"No...that's not true, but Miss Shinohara? Would Hirakawa-sensei call Shiori that in the first place?"

"Uh...sometimes."

"Sometimes when?"

"This... probably when I mentioned it in my heart, um. I accidentally said it just now."

"laugh."

"What are you laughing at?"

"I didn't expect Hirakawa-sensei to call Shiori that."

"...is it weird?"

"It's a bit...you are Shiori's teacher."

"Not now."

"..."

"..."

"Where are you going next?"

"Just go for a walk."

"Ok."

……

In this way, Tetsubun Hirakawa accompanied Shiori Shinohara, strolling around in the playground, experiencing various entertainment facilities.

After walking through the playground, it was already nine o'clock, and it was not long before the playground closed.

"call--"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi exhaled in the cold wind.

I have to say that even though he said he was going to experience this place with Miss Shinohara, in fact he had a great time.

It's been a long time since I played with such a free mind, right?

Beside her, Shiori Shinohara also flicked her long hair lightly, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Teacher Hirakawa, thank you tonight."

"Well, it's nothing." Hirakawa Zhewen said casually.

"So, how about taking a photo as a souvenir?"

"Taking pictures?"

"Ah."

Shinohara Shiori took out her mobile phone and walked towards the huge Christmas tree placed in the middle of the open space.

The Christmas tree is full of decorations, and there are all kinds of beautiful streamer lights, and many people are taking pictures.

"Teacher Hirakawa, come on."

Standing in front of the Christmas tree, Shinohara Shiori shouted at him.

"Ok."

I don't know why Shiori Shinohara is so interested tonight, but it's fine just to take a photo.

Tetsubun Hirakawa responded, stepped forward, and stood beside Shiori Shinohara.

"Crack."

With the sound of taking pictures, the screen on the phone screen freezes.

Shiori Shinohara smiled slightly, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood beside the girl with no expression on his face.

"Why is Mr. Hirakawa so expressionless?"

"This one……"

"Take another picture... please smile."

"Alright alright."

"Crack."

Photos are regenerated.

"Well, it's all right now." This time, Shiori Shinohara looked at the photo on the phone and nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, Mr. Hirakawa." He spoke again suddenly.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Hirakawa Zhewen looked away from the phone screen.

"Shiori wants to go to the bathroom."

"Oh... I remember it over there." Hirakawa Zhewen thought for a while and pointed to a location.

"Ah."

……

Accompanying Shiori Shinohara to the bathroom, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood not far away waiting for her to come out.

Hmm... even a beautiful girl has to go to the bathroom...

Hirakawa Zhewen, who was standing there waiting, suddenly thought of this question.

After all, in general perception, beautiful girls are always beautiful, and bathrooms are always dirty.

The good and the dirty are opposites, so they have to be separated.

In this regard, I still remember that there is a very interesting discussion in "The Unbearable Lightness of Being".

"Teacher Hirakawa, are you there?"

While distracted, Shiori Shinohara suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Kitsch is to exclude from sight everything that is fundamentally unacceptable in human existence." Hirakawa Zhewen, who was in a trance, subconsciously blurted out the sentence that came to mind in his mind. After speaking, he found Xiao Xiao in front of him. Hara Shiori, "Oh, Shinohara-san, are you back?"

Shinohara Shiori first glanced at Hirakawa Tetsubun inexplicably, wondering why she suddenly mentioned this sentence, and then she responded with an "um", and then took the mineral water she bought earlier from Hirakawa Tetsufumi's hand.

Then, she unscrewed the mineral water bottle, poured out the water, and washed her hands.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Tetsubun Hirakawa looked at Shiori Shinohara suspiciously and asked.

"The water is cut off." Shiori Shinohara replied.

"……Oh."

……

When Shiori Shinohara finished washing her hands, everything tonight would be over.

"Teacher Hirakawa, we should go."

"Ah."

Hirakawa Tetsubun replied, and walked towards the gate of the playground with Shinohara Shiori.

Because it is almost time to close, there are many people walking with them along the way.

"By the way." As he walked, Hirakawa Zhewen suddenly remembered something.

He looked at Shinohara Shiori beside him.

"What's wrong?" Shinohara Shiori asked.

"Speaking of which, when will the question that Shinohara-san asked you be clarified?"

"So Hirakawa-sensei still remembers?" Shiori Shinohara smiled and said briskly, "I thought you forgot... I was thinking just now, so I don't need to say it."

"... I almost forgot." Hirakawa Zhewen's tone was a little helpless, "I have been accompanying you to experience various facilities tonight, and I have to forget the original purpose."

Shiori Shinohara didn't speak, but smiled slightly.

"So, now, Shinohara-san, can you talk?"

"Wait a little longer." Shinohara Shiori said.

"Want to wait?"

"Yeah." Shiori Shinohara replied, nodding, "At least, wait until we leave the playground...Leave a happy ending."

"... a successful end?" Hirakawa Zhewen didn't understand this sentence.

However, Shiori Shinohara didn't explain much, and just responded softly.

"Ah."

"Ok."

Hirakawa Tetsuwen didn't know what to say.

Anyway, I've been waiting for so long tonight, it's okay to wait a little longer, so let's talk about it after I go out.

In such silence, Hirakawa Tetsufumi and Shinohara Shiori walked towards the gate along the road paved with five colors of light strips, and walked out.

The moment they stepped through the gate, Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Shiori Shinohara looked back together.

The lights shining in the night, full of brilliance... This is where the two of them spent together tonight, and now, it has come to a successful conclusion.

The two looked back together again.

"Okay, Shinohara-san, so, now, should we talk?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi asked Shinohara Shiori.

"Yeah." Shinohara Shiori nodded, "However, how should I speak... Please let Shiori think about it."

"Alright alright."

Tetsubun Hirakawa responded, leaving time for Shiori Shinohara to speak.

Shinohara Shiori stood where she was, and began to think with her head down, thinking about how to explain it.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi began to look around boredly.

Looking at the crowd walking out of the playground, there are quite a few parents with children, and men and women holding hands shyly... Is this just getting together?After all, Christmas Eve is a good time to confess.

There are also quite a few couples who openly hold hands... So, on Christmas Eve, many couples really come out to play together.

Just so boringly guessing the identities of various people in his heart, until, in Hirakawa Tetsuwen's field of vision, he unexpectedly saw a few people who were incompatible with the atmosphere of the playground here.

A few people wore neat suits and walked against the crowd from outside the playground.

It's fine to wear a suit when you come to the playground, it's so late, the playground is going to be closed, tourists are going out, so these figures walking towards the gate are very conspicuous.

Hmm... who is this?

Hirakawa Tetsuwen subconsciously continued the game of guessing his identity.

As a result, he didn't think for a few seconds at all, and he didn't come to a result. Beside him, Shiori Shinohara, who was thinking about how to explain, suddenly changed his face, and his tone was also strange.

"Teacher Hirakawa."

"Well, what's the matter, have you figured it out?" Hirakawa Zhewen didn't realize the problem yet.

Shinohara Shiori's tone was a little serious and a little cold, like the wind blowing now.

"Maybe, we have to get out of here first."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Hirakawa Zhewen didn't understand.

"Literally." Shiori Shinohara took his hand, and for no apparent reason, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was dragged away by Shiori Shinohara.

"Eh...?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi couldn't figure out what was going on.

　Still have a fever, the lowest temperature today is 38°C, it is too tortured
