I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi straightened up and looked into Ogasa Suzukiko's pure big eyes behind her gold-framed glasses in disbelief.

"Uh-huh."

To convince him, the cute, petite-faced teacher nodded firmly.

The gold-rimmed glasses that were the wrong size slipped off again.

Teacher Ogasa quickly held him up with both hands.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was completely silent.

It was just a guess before, after all, I didn’t have much communication with Mr. Ogasa.

But today, he was really convinced that Teacher Ogasa was definitely an idiot.

Ok……

What he didn't know was that although the deduction process was wrong, there was nothing wrong with the result...

Chapter 124 Shinohara Shiori is very concerned

Although Tetsufumi Hirakawa was still confused that he had forgotten what he said last night, there was nothing he could do about it. He had to spend some more time talking to Ogasa Suzuki about the issue of the wind orchestra.

"Is that so?"

After listening to his speech, Ogasa Suzukiko nodded as if she was hearing it for the first time.

This made Hirakawa Tetsufumi put on a somewhat uncertain smile: "Is that so? Then, what do you think, Mr. Ogasa?"

"Hey... opinion... let me think about it."

Ogasa Suzukiko still thought about this problem very seriously.

“It sounds really serious.”

"Ah."

“Because the goal is the gold medal, I have to try my best.”

"Yes."

From Tetsubun Hirakawa's narrative, even Ogasa Suzukiko can feel the seriousness and urgency of this problem.

Especially now that there is only a little over a month left until the national competition qualifiers.

However, without discussing how to solve this problem, what we should first consider is: how did this problem arise?

To be honest, I don’t really understand it.

"Teacher Ogasa?"

"Oh, yes, Mr. Hirakawa."

"What's wrong?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi saw that Ogasa Suzukiko looked distressed.

"Well... actually, I, don't really understand..." Ogasa Suzuki lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

His posture doesn't look like a teacher, but rather like a student who has made a mistake.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked on and smiled helplessly.

Teacher Ogasa has never been very sensitive to this kind of thing, after all, he is a bit of a naive person.

There was nothing we could do about it, so Hirakawa Tetsufumi comforted him, "Teacher Ogasa, it's okay if you don't have any ideas for now, don't blame yourself. For now, our goal is to find the reason."

"But how do I find it?"

"About this." Hirakawa Tetsufumi turned around and glanced at the students behind him.

The students' originally vacant teams have now arrived, and under the arrangement of the minister, they have each taken their musical instruments and are ready to start training.

"It's no use being anxious."

After all, it is unlikely to expect him, a teacher who has only been here a few times, to see the cause of the problem at a glance.

"At least for now, with Teacher Ogasa present, the students can practice well."

It's better than before when I couldn't concentrate on practicing even with the teacher present.

"Let's start practicing today. I'll assist you and try my best to find the cause."

Ogasa Suzuki raised her head, adjusted her glasses, and seemed to be about to say something.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at the petite teacher in front of him and smiled gently: "Teacher Ogasa, don't forget that I am also a guidance teacher. This is my responsibility. If you say anything thankful, it will bother me."

"……Yes."

"so be it."

Although Ogasa Suzukiko responded, Hirakawa Tetsufumi's expression still looked a little helpless.

Because looking at Ogasa Suzukiko's expression just now, it seemed that she really forgot that he was her instructor and wanted to say something to thank him.

There is really no way.

"Anyway, let's start training."

"Uh-huh."

-

The afternoon practice time passed quite quickly. Amid the sound of the notes, when I came to my senses, the sky outside the window had already turned dark.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the students began to leave the concert hall in exhaustion. After chatting with Ogasa Suzukiko about the wind orchestra, Tetsufumi Hirakawa also began to walk out of the concert hall.

The lights in the corridor lit up as usual, dispelling the darkness of the night. The rain, which had stopped for a while in the afternoon, began to fall again.

And following the crystal raindrops falling in the light, his eyes followed it, drifting obliquely with the wind into the corridor, and then slowly landed on a girl's shoulder.

"Shinohara-san, are you still there?"

Looking up, what comes into view is the girl's delicate profile illuminated by the light.

Shinohara Shiori turned her head and said, "Well, there is something I want to say to Mr. Hirakawa."

"Ok."

Hirakawa Zhewen nodded slightly and stepped forward.

"Let's go then."

The sound of footsteps followed behind him, and they walked forward together in the corridor separated by light and night.

until entering the stairwell.

"Teacher Hirakawa."

The girl's voice sounded in her ears, probably because she had thought about how to start the conversation.

"Please tell me."

"What did Ogasa-sensei say about the playing section?"

"Well, I don't have any idea for now. But don't worry, I will continue to come to the wind band next time."

"It's good enough as long as Mr. Hirakawa is willing to take responsibility."

"...That's a bit strange. I'm your instructor."

"..."

Shinohara Shiori had no intention of dwelling on this topic.

She lifted her long hair on the side and inserted her fingertips into the hair, feeling a cool and slightly damp feeling.

This was when I was waiting for a teacher in the corridor just now and was wet by the rain that drifted in.

She was thinking about something.

Very concerned.

Before coming to the wind orchestra today, the teacher said, "I met Teacher Ogasa in the supermarket last night."

Being able to meet in the supermarket... means the two teachers probably don’t live far away.

Of course this wasn't a problem.

The problem was that before the wind band practice started in the afternoon, the sight of the two of them whispering in front of the students was very concerning.

Moreover, behind her, two students could be heard whispering.

"Hey...there really is a problem."

"I know."

"..."

"..."

I can't say more. But just these two sentences sound like they contain some inside information.

What will be the inside story?

Shinohara Shiori wanted to know, but——

When I asked them—Takao-san and Inaba-san—they acted as if they were keeping it a secret.

This made Shiori Shinohara very concerned. She didn't want to think too much about it, but she couldn't control it at all.

Thinking about these things, Shinohara Shiori spoke again.

"Mr. Hirakawa, will you continue to come to the wind band until this problem is solved?"

"Of course I will."

"What about after it's resolved?"

"Of course." Hirakawa Zhewen said without thinking.

"..."

To be honest, Shiori Shinohara didn't quite believe it.

But it's okay.

She then pretended to be casual and said, "Teacher Hirakawa has such determination. It's great progress."

"Eh..." Faced with the rare compliment from Miss Shinohara, Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly felt guilty.

In fact, he himself didn't quite believe that he could always be there next time - because except for problems like now, under normal practice, he, as an instructor, really has no effect...

But the words have been spoken, and I can't take them back.

"Well... Of course, I also tried my best." Hirakawa Tetsufumi said shamelessly.

"..."

Shinohara Shiori found it a little funny.

As the student who has had the most contact with him, she is very clear about what this teacher thinks in this regard.

He pursed his lips and then said calmly, "Indeed, for example, last night Mr. Hirakawa met Mr. Ogasa in the supermarket and was still concerned about the wind orchestra."

"This...Of course, even after get off work, the teacher has been thinking about the playing department."

"Was it a coincidence?" I asked naturally.

"……Yes."

"I don't think I've ever heard Mr. Hirakawa think about the wind orchestra in this situation before."

Glancing at the girl next to him, Hirakawa Tetsufumi replied, "In fact, last night was the first time I met Mr. Ogasa after get off work."

"I see... Mr. Hirakawa has made progress indeed."

After saying this casually, Shinohara Shiori stopped talking about this topic.

Rather than relying on groundless gossip, she decided to trust her teacher Hirakawa a little more.
