I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 125 Rainy Night, Rain Palace Night

It's already the last week of May.

Over the next few days of this week, Tetsufumi Hirakawa went to the wind band every day.

From Wednesday to Friday, plus Tuesday at the beginning, we did not miss the daily practice of the wind orchestra for four consecutive days.

It can be said that this was probably the week with the highest attendance rate for Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

Of course, he had his own purpose in joining the wind band.

In order to solve the problems of the wind orchestra, he paid attention to the students' every move in daily training while constantly communicating with Ogasa Suzukiko.

In addition, in order to investigate the matter more clearly, we also asked students, such as Shinohara Shiori, for their opinions.

But unfortunately, this girl didn't understand this kind of thing at all.

For her, since she has set a goal, it is normal to go all out. As for the problem of students' lack of enthusiasm, she can't understand much.

"Lack of enthusiasm? I don't understand."

"Then, based on how Shinohara-san interacts with other students on a daily basis, will we know what they are thinking?"

Remember URL

“We didn’t get along.”

"Not getting along?"

"Well, we didn't get along."

"..."

Judging from the way she said "we didn't get along" with such certainty, this arrogant young lady is too detached from the masses.

Faced with the girl's cold face, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was completely speechless.

It turned out to be a mistake to target her for the investigation.

So next, Tetsufumi Hirakawa naturally changed the subject of his investigation and decided to target "ordinary students."

But how to say...

There is an abyss between teachers and students - this statement is absolutely true.

When faced with questions from teachers, students will generally hide their true thoughts unless the teacher has a very close relationship.

However, when faced with a negative question such as "Why do I lack motivation?", these respondents did not find any help in solving the problem except to say "Teacher, I will work harder next time".

When the majority of a group lacks enthusiasm, this problem cannot be solved by simply saying empty slogans like “we will work harder”.

Anyway, it's a headache.

Therefore, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to change his target again and set the objects of investigation on the minister and several famous ministers.

With their assistance in the investigation, some students finally confided their true feelings to them.

But...how should I put it...

"Because the practice of the wind band is very hard and lasts until 7 o'clock in the evening, we naturally can't stick to the practice in the morning."

"Because there is no teacher to supervise me, I can only rely on myself, and I lose focus after practicing for a short while."

"Then let's set the morning time as training time as well? As long as the teacher makes it mandatory, I think we can stick to it."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa has been investigating painstakingly over the past few days, not for such a superficial conclusion.

Yes, this statement is of course correct, but it is a bit too superficial and easy to understand.

This conclusion had been deduced by Tetsufumi Hirakawa long before - in the reasoning game he played with the willful young lady.

As for mandatory regulations, he certainly knows how to change independent practice into compulsory practice.

But this method can only be said to be a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa wanted to understand the deeper reasons and hoped to analyze the current situation of the wind orchestra from a group perspective rather than an individual perspective.

It seems that just asking is far from enough.

Then what should be done?

After three days, the problems of the wind orchestra have not been solved, and there is no sign of a solution for the time being.

At a deadlock.

"Teacher Ogasa, I'm sorry, but at the moment, I don't have any clues."

After school on Friday, in the concert hall where students were leaving one after another, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed and said this to Suzuki Ogasa who was standing in front of him.

The sound of falling raindrops broke in through the open door of the concert hall and rang in my ears. My mood was as depressed as the gloomy sky.

Ogasa Suzukiko smiled and consoled him, "Teacher Hirakawa doesn't need to apologize. It's been very hard for you these past few days."

"This is just my duty as a teacher. It's nothing to brag about. If I can't solve the problem, then I can't solve it..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa gave a wry smile.

He has indeed been investigating very seriously these past few days, and even the various duties of the class teacher could not stop him from coming to the orchestra.

But no results mean no results.

"If this continues, we may have to consider making the morning practice time mandatory. After all, the national competition is not far away."

Let's just treat the symptoms. There's nothing else we can do.

However, Ogasa Suzukiko shook her head and said, "I will discuss this with Mr. Hirakawa next Monday."

"Hmm? Next Monday?"

"Yeah, I'll think about this matter carefully this weekend."

Ogasa Suzukiko said this as if she had some idea.

What can be done?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at her eyes behind her glasses and became curious.

"Well, let's talk about it next Monday."

After a moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

-

What solution will Mr. Ogasa come up with next Monday?

Amid such doubts, the last week of May, and the entire month of May, came to an end.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Ogasa, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked out of the concert hall.

There was no one in the bright and quiet corridor under the rainy night.

The students have gone home.

The same goes for Shinohara Shiori. After all, she couldn't provide any help with the current problems of the wind orchestra, and there was no reason for her to say anything to him.

As for Teacher Ogasa... Although it has been confirmed before that Tetsufumi Hirakawa lives very close to her home, it would probably be on the way home.

But I wouldn't rashly say something weird like "Let's go home together."

The two of them are not familiar with each other to this extent.

And so, on the rainy night of May 5th, Tetsufumi Hirakawa returned home alone holding an umbrella.

Also, when it comes to rainy nights, it is inevitable to think of Amamiya Night...

Just one word missing.

In addition to the recent wind orchestra, how to treat Amamiya Yoya has always been a difficult problem in Tetsuo Hirakawa's mind.

With strange associations in mind, he opened the door of his home.

But...

As expected, whatever you think of comes true.

Just as Tetsufumi Hirakawa was touching Michael's round head and asking him what kind of cat bed he wanted, he received a line.

Ye: [Teacher Pingchuan, tomorrow, can I go to Teacher Pingchuan's house? ]

"..."

How should I put it? Telling her that she can come after notifying me was a "temporary measure" that I had promised her before, and it was a "contract" that I had signed, so there was no way I could refuse.

But... Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought about it and replied like this.

Pingchuan: [The teacher is going to pick a cat bed for Michael and the others tomorrow. If Amamiya wants, you can go with the teacher.]

As Michael’s discoverer and “co-owner”… well… this statement seems a bit strange.

Forget it, don't worry about this kind of thing.

In short, Amamiya Ye is indeed qualified to choose a cat bed for Michael.

And it's always better to go out than to come home.

Night: [Choose a place for the cat?]

Hirakawa: […Yes]

Pingchuan: [After all, Michael and the others have already settled down at the teacher's house, and the kittens have grown up a bit, so it's not a good idea to let them live in a cardboard box.]

Night: [I will go there upon invitation]

Pingchuan: [OK]

Chapter 126 Amamiya's preparations, plans, and flags for going out

It was the morning of the 31st, the last day of May, and it was cloudy and rainless.

The temperature today is not high.

After days of rainfall, the ground is wet, and the process of water evaporating into steam and floating up into the sky is still absorbing heat from the ground.

When Amemiya Ye opened the door, the wind blowing towards him was even a little cold.

She shrank her neck, and at this moment, her mother's gentle reminder came from behind.

"Xiaoye, please wear an extra piece of clothing when you go out."

"Yes."

Yu Gongye closed the door, answered, and turned around.

A navy blue cardigan has appeared in sight, naturally it was brought by the mother.

She took the coat from her mother and put it on. Her mother reached out and helped her button it.

"Are you going out again today?"

"Ah."

"Where are you going?"

"Go to a classmate's house."

"Is that so? You won't be back at noon?"

"Ah."

"Do you want to eat anything tonight? Mom is going to the mall later."

"It is all acceptable."

"Okay, then remember to be careful on the road."

"it is good."

With a few brief words of concern, her mother had already buttoned her clothes, straightened her clothes, and fixed her hair.

Everything was ready. Amemiya Ye waved his hand, turned around, pushed the door open with both hands and walked out.

The ground was wet, and the footsteps of Martin boots sounded heavy.
