I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Chapter 160 The lingering ghost

Of course I was just joking. It's not necessary to disturb you in the middle of the night just because of such a small matter.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa took a final look at the reading on the thermometer, then stood up from the bedside and put the thermometer away on the table.

If it's just a low-grade fever, you don't need to see a doctor or take any antipyretic medicine.

The simplest method is the classic way of drinking more hot water. Just drink more water and let your body cool down on its own.

and.

Feeling the dry mouth and throat——

Now I am indeed thirsty.

Thinking of this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa pressed his temples to clear his mind, then walked to the bedroom door and opened it.

The light from the bedroom spilled out into the hallway, illuminating a small patch of light in the darkness.

As soon as I took a step forward, the darkness reached the place where the light could not reach, and my feet were there.

"Meow~"

A soft cat meow suddenly sounded.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is no longer the person who would be frightened by cats at first because he was not used to their presence, but it is really refreshing to have such a cat when he is sick in the middle of the night.

This is much better than pressing your temples.

After waking up, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at his feet with a smile on his face. A kitten that had blended into the darkness was pressing its body down, making movements like a predator.

Only the eyes reflected a tiny amount of light.

It's so black, so it must be a Chimera.

"Meow~"

It cried out again, and pounced forward with its body, landing on Hirakawa Tetsufumi's feet.

A two-month-old cat is just learning to hunt, right?

Thinking about the knowledge he had learned from the Internet, Tetsufumi Hirakawa squatted down, picked up the Chimera and held it in front of him.

A man and a cat looked at each other.

"Meow."

"..."

"Meow."

"..."

“Meow—Woo—.”

"..."

While meowing, waving its little paws around.

Maybe he's saying something like "It's just prey, put it down quickly"?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa believes it is necessary to let it know who is the master of the house.

The kitten, who had no control over its own destiny, was held in his arms.

Holding Chimera, turning on the lights in the corridor, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked towards the first floor under the light.

The cat in my arms was still struggling.

Also, when the cats were young, they couldn’t climb the stairs because their legs were too short, so the three kittens, except Michael, had to limit their activities to the first floor.

It seems that now that they have grown up, the second floor will become their activity base.

He went downstairs, turned on the light again, and put the Chimera in his arms on the ground. As soon as it was put down, it immediately ran away with its short legs to find the other two kittens in the living room.

Gabriel and Wuchang were fighting and throwing themselves at each other.

With the addition of Chimera, it becomes a three-cat melee.

As for Michael, it was watching the show on the sofa.

Cats are indeed nocturnal animals. They are so active in the middle of the night.

After looking at them for a few times, he stopped paying attention to them and walked past the living room and towards the kitchen.

"Wow--"

I filled the electric kettle with some water, put the base on it and turned on the switch.

Amid the humming sound of the machine, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to the dining table, sat on a chair, and began to daydream while waiting for the water to boil.

The night was quiet, with no other sounds except for the cats' quarreling.

A quiet environment is perfect for meditation.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa naturally began to think of all sorts of things.

For example, the three kittens are already two months old, and it seems that cats at this stage need to start getting vaccinated.

When he went to the pet store before, the staff there reminded him. Of course, Michael also got a rabies vaccine.

Next, speaking of cats, one naturally thinks of the girl named Amamiya Yoru.

Before going to Kyoto, she and I encountered some inexplicable incidents, and we had to find a way to solve the problem of this problem student.

However, I did make an agreement with her that I would work with her to communicate clearly to her mother about the cat and her chuunibyou.

but……

That day on the escalator at the mall, she held him in her arms, passing by her mother.

This scene is a bit too thrilling... Hirakawa Tetsufumi is not sure whether this kind of thing will happen when he goes to visit the family:

"Hello, Mrs. Amamiya. I am Hirakawa Tetsufumi, the homeroom teacher of Amamiya Yoru. The purpose of my visit today is—"

"Wait, Mr. Hirakawa, have we met before somewhere? That day..."

This kind of thing is not necessarily impossible, it just depends on Mrs. Amemiya's memory.

So in order to prevent this from happening, Amamiya Ye’s matter will have to be postponed again.

Thinking about it this way, it really gives me a headache.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed, put his hands on his head and leaned on the dining table.

Since there is no other way but to postpone it, it is better not to think about it and add to your troubles.

Skipping Amemiya Ye, the most important thing in the near future is naturally the affairs of the wind orchestra.

First, Shinohara Shiori. Although she was a student, it was this girl who approached him about the brass band from the beginning—and she was a young lady who could dismiss him at any time—so according to the rule that teachers were the lowest class in Moriya, he had to report the progress of the task to this student.

Of course, it was also necessary to let this self-indulgent young lady who always found fault with him and always mocked him, "You are the instructor of the wind orchestra," take a closer look at the fact that he had already found the answers to the problems of the wind orchestra.

It is no longer acceptable to say that he is incompetent in the future. Tetsufumi Hirakawa does not accept such criticism.

Also, Mr. Ogasa——

Skip this one too.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa touched his own face with his fingers unnaturally.

That kind of thing was still a bit too far-fetched for him, a man who had never seen the world.

After taking some time to shake off the blushing thoughts in his mind, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood up, filled a cup with freshly boiled water, and placed it on the dining table to let it cool.

Then he continued to stare at the shadow of the glass water cup on the table, which was glowing under the light.

By the way, probably because of my work and rest schedule, I slept until noon in the morning, and slept until midnight when I came back. So even though I am sick now, I just feel a little weak in my limbs, and as for sleepiness... I don't feel sleepy at all.

So what should he do in the second half of the night?

A little troubled.

And this time the fever really wouldn't go away. I thought it was gone, but it started again in the middle of the night.

But... maybe this has something to do with him too?

I remember he took a bath before going to bed. Maybe he caught a cold again while bathing?

It could also be that this afternoon, while still in Kyoto, he ran to the neighboring city of Uji alone, and the wind on the banks of the Uji River was still a little cool.

Hmm... So what Hisada-sensei said about not being able to take care of himself turned out to be true...

However, he went to Uji City not for strolling around, but to buy a gift for Hisata Masaki. Uji tea is quite famous, and Hisata teacher should like it.

"..."

Thinking of this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly tapped his forehead.

Being sick can really make a person's brain dull.

I had just bought the gift at noon, but this afternoon, after just over two hours of driving, when I got home I was only thinking about resting and completely forgot to give the gift.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to send it when we meet on Monday.

-

However, the plan to send gifts on Monday ultimately fell through.

In the early hours of Sunday night - strictly speaking, it was the early hours of Monday - Tetsufumi Hirakawa got up from bed drowsily and measured his forehead with the back of his hand again.

This time the fever is so lingering.

Chapter 161 A mysterious atmosphere, then broken

Monday afternoon, at Tetsufumi Hirakawa’s home.

"Ding Dong."

It's the doorbell.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, surrounded by four cats, Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at the phone in his hand.

16: 06.

At this time, the only one who can come is... Mr. Hisata, right?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa took Michael off his lap, stood up, and walked towards the door.

"coming."

As he said this, he walked down the hallway, put his hand on the door handle, and pushed it down.

The door was gently pushed outwards, and the figure of a very familiar female teacher slowly emerged in sight.

She was wearing Moritani's teacher's uniform, looking elegant and decent, with a faint smile on her face that made people feel warm at first sight.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Pingchuan."

Hisada Masu stood at the door and waved her hand. As she waved, a strand of hair on the side of her face swayed.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at Hisada Masu and immediately smiled too.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hisada - did you come here just after get off work?"

Hisada Masu's expression was a little troubled: "Yes, because Mr. Hirakawa can't take good care of himself, I can't relax after get off work."

"Ah...sorry."

"Forget it, forget about the apology."

"Well, then, thank you Mr. Hisada for coming to visit me when I was sick. I am grateful."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped apologizing and instead put his hands together, bowed, and made a sincere wish to the gods in a shrine.

"..."

Hisada Masu looked at him with a look that said, "Teacher Hirakawa, that's enough."

After standing up, Tetsufumi Hirakawa pretended not to see it.

He continued to smile, pushing the door open a little and making way.

"Anyway, Mr. Hisada, please come in first."
