I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"..."

Without replying, the female teacher sighed and gathered her hair, then walked in carrying a bag of shopping bags.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa bent down, took out a pair of slippers from the shoe rack next to him, and placed them in front of Hisata Masaki.

After Hisada Moki changed into slippers, she stood at the entrance, holding the bag in front of her with both hands, and bowed formally.

"Teacher Hirakawa, sorry to bother you."

"Don't bother me, it's me who's bothering Mr. Hisada." Hirakawa Tetsufumi returned the greeting, "Please come in."

"Ok."

Only then did Hisada Masaki step onto the stairs to the entrance and began to look at the furnishings in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's house.

This is the first time she has walked in.

It can be seen that Tetsufumi Hirakawa's home is a single person's home. There are not too many daily necessities, and it can even be described as quite simple compared to the empty space.

As for the level of hygiene, it would be an exaggeration to say that it is spotless, but it can be said to be clean. At least the "breath of life" is at a level that does not make people feel disgusted.

After the inspection, Hisada Maki nodded with satisfaction, as if she was checking a student's homework: "I didn't expect Mr. Hirakawa's house to be so tidy."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi glanced at Hisada Masuki and said, "I would like to know what my home is like in Hisada-sensei's imagination."

"Hmm... this." Hisada Maki thought about it and nodded confidently, "I thought someone as lazy as Mr. Hirakawa would have a messy house, with clothes thrown around."

"...I admit that I am lazy, but this is different from laziness and uncleanliness. Don't confuse the two." Hirakawa Tetsufumi corrected.

"is it?"

"Of course it is."

"But, this wasn't cleaned specially for my arrival, was it?" Hisada Moshu looked at him with a faint smile.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi responded in a serious tone: "Normally, my home is like this."

"…Your tone gives it away, Mr. Hirakawa."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked as if he was innocent: "This is the fact, no need to explain. In fact, I am quite clean."

Hisada Masu said nothing, just stared at him.

"..."

After a while.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi turned his face away, looked away, and changed his words.

"I have sorted it out a bit, that's true. But after all, this is the first time that Mr. Hisada has come here, so of course I have to make some preparations, and this preparation just reflects how much I value Mr. Hisada."

"Okay." Hisada Mashu responded calmly.

"Okay?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi repeated, expressing his confusion about the tone.

The gentle female teacher looked at him gently and said, "Teacher Pingchuan, I don't know whether you take it seriously or not, but I am used to your nonsense."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa paused for a moment, then stubbornly stretched out a finger.

"I only attach importance to this point, and it is definitely not a random statement."

"Okay, I understand." Hisata Moki responded casually.

It was exactly the same as his usual perfunctory attitude.

"..."

What is this? Did he learn bad things from me?

This teacher is really becoming harder and harder to trick.

The topic about hygiene in Tetsufumi Hirakawa's home quickly ended.

The two stopped standing and walked to the living room and sat on the sofa.

The four cats in the living room were meowing loudly because of Hisata Masu's arrival.

After a while, Hisata Maki, who was sitting opposite Hirakawa Tetsufumi, had two kittens in her arms.

"This is, Gabriel and Chimera?"

Hisada Mashu tried to say their names.

"……Um."

I didn’t call it wrong, I actually remembered it.

The female teacher, attracted by the cute cat, quickly began to play with the cat, rubbing the cat's head and showing a very satisfied smile.

It was not until a while later that she reacted and looked at Tetsuo Hirakawa.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pingchuan, I haven't asked you yet, how are you doing now?"

Finally I remembered the purpose of this trip, which was not to play with the cat, but to visit him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa silently looked at the cat lying on Hisada Masaki's lap.

"It's OK, except that no one cares about it, it's pretty good."

"..."

Hisada Masu was speechless for a moment, then she gently ran her fingers across the ends of her flowing hair, looking very troubled.

"Why does Mr. Hirakawa's tone sound like that of a sulking child?"

"Have it?"

"There are some."

"No." Tetsufumi Hirakawa denied it.

"Indeed there are." Hisada Moki said helplessly, then picked up the two cats from her lap, put them on the sofa beside her, and stood up.

Under the gaze of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, the young and beautiful female teacher came to him.

A sweet smell wafted towards him, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi asked, "What's wrong?"

"Come and show some concern for the little kid who's angry because no one cares about him." Hisada Moki bent down with a smile on her face.

"I don't."

"Well, no." Hisada Masu nodded.

Then she stretched out her hand and touched Hirakawa Tetsufumi's forehead.

"..."

After a moment of silence in which even the meowing of cats stopped, Hisada Masu's slightly cool back of her hand gently touched his forehead.

"Teacher Hisata..." Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the beautiful female teacher in front of him.

Her eyes naturally flow with her own tenderness, like spring water.

"Yeah." Hisada Moshu used the back of her hand to feel his warmth. After a few seconds, she moved away and put her hand against her own forehead.

"It seems that there is no problem now. There is no fever."

She straightened up.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi stiffened for a moment, somewhat unnaturally, and reached out his hand to touch the remaining warmth.

“…Now the temperature is dropping.”

"Hmm." Hisada Maki responded softly, "I'm glad there's nothing wrong with Mr. Hirakawa."

"..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

A few cats were playing with each other, not paying any attention to what was happening here.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat on the sofa, his hand always touching his forehead - for some reason, he didn't know what to do with his hands.

The gentle female teacher just stood in front of him, looking at him quietly with a smile on her face.

The living room was very quiet. The only sound was the cats' fighting, which was not enough to affect the mysterious and strange atmosphere that suddenly filled the space between the two of them.

This kind of silence is so quiet that it makes people think a little.

Somewhat to do.

A little... nervous.

This silence lasted for some time.

Only then did Tetsufumi Hirakawa put down his hand and looked into the eyes of the female teacher who was still looking at him with a gentle smile.

"Teacher Hisata..."

"Well, what happened?"

Both of them spoke in a low voice, and all the while, a mysterious, unspeakable, and hard-to-determine atmosphere lingered and entangling them.

Like every morning when I arrived at the school office, the teacup of the female teacher sitting next to me was filled with light vapor.

"that……"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa seemed to want to say something.

Hisada Masu listened without saying anything.
