Tokyo Love Story

He still didn't put too much pressure on Tsugumi Seina.

"Okay, then I'll leave first?"

Tsugumi Seirina stood up and asked tentatively.

"Well, let's go."

The principal waved his hand, took out the cap of the pen, lowered his head, and prepared to start today's work.

*

"So, what did he tell you?"

In the corridor outside the principal's office, after looking around and making sure that there was no one around, Hoshino Ai stretched lazily and asked in a natural tone.

"Some troublesome things." Tsugumi Seina sighed, raised her hand and gently patted her cheek to cheer herself up, "It's the thing you mentioned about the concert that day."

"Is Yukie Morishima's daughter in your class?"

Hoshino Ai reacted immediately, her eyes widened slightly, but her voice was restrained and not too loud.

Yukie Morishima is relatively secretive about her family situation, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although most people don't know the specific age of her child or which school she attends, they know that she has a daughter.

"Shhh."

Tsugumi Seirina glared at the man and put her index finger to her lips, signaling him to speak more quietly.

"So, the postponement of the concert at Shirakawa High School is partly due to this?" Hoshino Ai blinked, and under the resentful and reproachful look of her best friend, her tone returned to its previous natural tone.

"From what I know about the principal, it's unlikely." Tsugumi Seina shook her head. "It's because the schedule has been too tight since the start of the school year. Students need to stay on their toes and not relax too much."

"Well, that's the truth."

Hoshino Ai responded with a wry smile and turned her head away, avoiding Tsuchiya Serina's sight. As soon as the other party mentioned this, her mind already had hallucinations of the past, where that stern teacher stood on the podium, talking in general terms, and the words 'You are the worst class of students I have ever taught' seemed to echo in her ears again.

Thinking of this, Hoshino Ai gave a wry smile. In order to avoid the memories from the past from continuing, she changed the subject, "Shall we talk while we walk?"

"Okay."

Tsugumi Seina nodded, and the two of them started walking, following the corridor toward the playground.

Walking into the outer playground, Hoshino Ai raised her eyebrows and her eyes fell on the outer playground of Shirakawa High School.

The early morning sunshine crossed the thin clouds and scattered all over the city, illuminating this late June and early summer morning.

The sunlight at this time was neither dazzling nor scorching. The leaves of the green trees rustled in the gentle breeze of the morning. Under the cover of the office building, the sunlight slanting toward the ground was split in two, leaving a large area of ​​shadow on the playground outside. The sound of the teacher's lecture came from the teaching building not far away. The boundary between memory and reality seemed to intersect at this moment.

"By the way, are you free this morning?" Walking under the shade of the tree, Hoshino Ai slowed down her pace a little and invited Tsugumi Seina beside her, "If you are free, please accompany me for a walk. I have been ordered to go out for work today, but I have half a day off."

"Yes, yes."

Tsugumi Seina nodded. There was no rush regarding Morishima Yukisa's matter. It would be the same if she talked to her after she finished her class in the afternoon.

"but?"

Hoshino Ai looked at Tsugumi Serina and completed the second half of the sentence for her.

"But I have to come back after lunch." Tsugumi Seirina smiled, "I still have classes in the afternoon."

"I understand you." Hoshino Ai just smiled, took her arm, and teased, "You can't help yourself~"

Hearing this, Tsugumi Seirina gave the man a coquettish look but did not rush to respond.

She likes her job as a teacher, although she occasionally complains about being very tired, but when she sees obvious progress in the academic performance of the students she values, the physical fatigue disappears in an instant and she feels that it is worthwhile and she feels proud and proud from the bottom of her heart.

"Go shopping first, and then take me out for something delicious at noon?"

Hoshino Ai blinked, and her tone became more coquettish.

If this scene was seen by her colleagues, they would probably be shocked. On weekdays, she was not a female police officer who was domineering, efficient, and serious. At this moment, one can only say that there was a great contrast.

"Okay."

Tsugumi Seirina nodded in agreement.

No matter whether it is an ostrich mentality or not, she needs to clear her mind before dealing with Yukisa Morishima's affairs.

Chapter 87 Hedgehog's Request [4K1]

After the second class in the afternoon, Tsugumi Seina informed the class monitor that Yukisa Morishima might come back late for the next class. If any teacher asked, she would say that she was looking for her, and then called Yukisa Morishima out of the classroom.

However, she did not take the girl to the relatively serious teacher's office, but took her to the playground outside and sat her down on a bench under the shade of a tree where the sun could not reach.

It was the end of get out of class time, and the students who had attended the physical education class in the last period were now walking towards the locker room in twos and threes. Many of them had sweat on their foreheads, smiles on their faces, and were talking in low voices.

As they passed by, Tsuchiya Seina heard several key words - concert, beautiful girl, first love.

Subconsciously, she sighed in a low voice, "Youth is good."

Yukisa Morishima turned her head and looked at her with some confusion, not quite understanding why the teacher suddenly sighed.

As if she had guessed Morishima Yukisa's question, Tsugumi Seina thought for a moment and explained, "It is impossible for a person to have both youth and the feeling of youth at the same time. For example, every ordinary day you spend with no nostalgia is a past that can no longer be possessed by every adult who has bid farewell to their school days."

"Oh."

Morishima Yukisa fell silent. She originally wanted to remind Tsuchiya Seina that the "first love" those boys were talking about might be the song that has been very popular recently.

But after thinking about it, she pushed the words back into her throat.

"Okay, let's not continue talking nonsense." Tsugumi Seina coughed lightly. To be fair, because of the failed conversation experience last time, she considered her opening remarks for a long time, "Morishima-san, regarding this concert..."

Before she finished her words, the development of the situation had already far exceeded her original expectations.

Just like the classic saying describes, when you think something is very bad, it will often turn around and tell you, hey, it’s not as bad as you thought.

"I'm willing to participate."

Yukisa Morishima interrupted Tsugumi Serina's speech and met her gaze.

"what?"

Tsuchiya Seirina was stunned for half a second, then quickly came to her senses.

After she realized what was going on, she breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and continued chatting about the topic.

This time, it was off to a good start.

Next, her conversation with Yukisa Morishima went quite smoothly. Before she even opened her mouth, Yukisa Morishima had already expressed her willingness to attend the concert.

Tsugumi Seina did not ask for the specific reason, but she could more or less guess it, or rather, she could see that when Morishima Yukisa mentioned the concert, her eyes were full of stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.

It is obvious that Yukisa Morishima is quite obsessed with this matter.

For example, I don’t want to lose to the former Yukie Morishima.

Retracting her gaze to look at the girl, Tsugumi Seina narrowed her eyes slightly, leaned towards the bench behind her, and her sight fell on the basketball court not far away. Several boys were making full use of the break time and sweating their youth. "Since you have decided to participate, there is a problem that you must face."

After she finished speaking, Morishima Yukisa turned her head and looked at Tsugumi Seina with some confusion.

She didn't quite understand what she meant by this.

"Don't have that expression." Tsugumi Seina turned her head and met Morishima Yukisa's gaze, "This concert is not a solo, you need a companion, or a partner.

"If you want my recommendation, I'll probably have to ask our class's music teacher. She should know more about this than I do."

"I don't need a partner."

Yukisa Morishima pursed her lips and uttered these words.

"Without a partner, you won't be able to participate in this concert." Tsugumi Seina sighed, looking embarrassed. Well, she knew that things wouldn't go so smoothly, but she still agreed to it.

After considering her words, Tsugumi Makina added slowly, "Everyone in the school knows it, and it's clearly written on the notice that there must be at least two people performing this time."

Her implication was very clear: if she wanted to get on stage, she had to overcome the hurdle of number of people.

“They can’t keep up with me.”

Morishima Yukisa looked straight at Tsugumi Seina. There was no condescending arrogance in her cold eyes, only the coldness of stating facts.

Tsugumi Seina didn't say anything, but just stared at him without giving in.

When a beautiful girl and a beautiful woman look at each other because of a dispute over something, most of the outcomes end with the defeat of the one with more vulnerable side.

So Morishima Yukisa bit her thin lips, lowered her eyebrows, and gave up.

She remembered clearly what her mother said to her on the phone. She understood that many of the other party's words were provocations, but she just fell for it.

She just wanted to prove that she, Yukisa Morishima, was no worse than Yukie Morishima at that time, and was even better.

Correspondingly, she is not a copy of herself, she is herself.

Seeing Morishima Yukisa's look, Tsuchiya Seina had already made up her mind. She breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously reached out to pat the girl's shoulder to comfort her, but the moment she raised her hand, the latter raised her eyebrows vigilantly and looked at her.

As the two looked at each other, Yukisa Morishima managed to turn the tables a little.

Tsugumi Seina unnaturally withdrew her hand and avoided the needle-like gaze of the hedgehog. "So, back to the point, do I recommend it, or do you choose it yourself?"

"I'll choose for myself."

Yukisa Morishima hesitated for a moment and gave an answer.

Hearing this, Tsugumi Seirina blinked, a hint of gossip flashed across her eyes, and she asked curiously, "Tell me, who is it from our class?"

Yukisa Morishima did not keep the person in suspense and whispered the man's name.

"Kitagawa Che."

Oh, ah? Ah!?

The moment she came to her senses after hearing the answer, the expression on Tsugumi Serina's face was only one of surprise.

*

After school, Kitagawa Che was dragged into the music classroom by Tsuchiya Seina. Just when he thought that his neighbor was going to do something again, the other party looked at him with pleading eyes, and then gestured for him to look at Morishima Yukisa who was sitting in front of the piano with her back to him.

After briefly explaining the situation, she lowered her voice and moved closer to Beichuan Che. Her pretty face, which was dyed red by the blush, showed a more pitiful expression. "Please, Che, do Sister Rina a favor."

The distance between them was very close, and the hot air from her breath gently hit his earlobe.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the two of them became inexplicably charming.

A classroom at dusk, a girl sitting in front of the piano, a beautiful female teacher, and a young man in adolescence, these elements combined are enough for directors to shoot an urban drama about infatuated men and resentful women that would take at least fifty episodes to finish.

Instinctively, Kitagawa Che stepped back half a step to the side, and Tsugumi Makoto took another half step closer when seeing this, the two of them seemed to be dancing a cha-cha.

"Well, I..."

"Please, please~"

Before Kitagawa Che could say no, Tsuchiya Seina interrupted him first, clasped her hands together, made a gesture of request, and her voice even had a bit of coquettishness.

How do you want me to respond?

Beichuan Che sighed in his heart. He was really not good at dealing with these things.

"Okay, stop."

So he coughed lightly, took a step back, and used a teasing way to pull the atmosphere between the two back to the natural state of the past, "Rina-sister, pay attention to your image, you are not suitable for this kind of role."

Hearing this, Tsuchiya Seina's expression instantly became interesting. Her face, which was already dyed red by the setting sun, became even more rosy, and undercurrents were rolling in her beautiful eyes, which reflected Kitagawa Che's face.

It's not because of the accelerated heartbeat, but because of anger.

This boy, why is he so straight! ?

But before she could say anything, Beichuan Che added, "But now that you've said that, why don't I give it a try first?

But I don't know if it will work. If it's not suitable, forget it. Do you think this is okay?"

"Of course." Tsugumi Seina's expression brightened up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she nodded quickly, "Then let's try it first." Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she quickly added, "I'll wait for you outside first~"

After leaving these words, the teacher of Class A of Grade 1 hurriedly left the music classroom and waited in the corridor with Ejima Tadashi and Kitaen Rin.

So……

Kitagawa Che's attention was focused again on the present. He took a deep breath and walked towards Morishima Yukisa.

He never dreamed that he would be involved in such a thing.

If it was at the beginning of the school year, he could probably refuse with a straight face, but it happened that Tsuchiya Makina had helped him before, and they had become friends after spending some time together. Moreover, she put on that attitude and asked for his help. It was not logical for him to have the heart to refuse.

However, accidents are often followed by more accidents.

When Kitagawa Che stood beside Morishima Yukisa, the beautiful girl's first reaction was not the slightly unfamiliar and reserved nod as she did that day, but she turned around directly, and her beautiful eyes with clear water just stared at him.
