I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

After a long time and enough psychological work, Ogasa Sayiko straightened her small upper body and looked directly at Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

"Teacher Hirakawa...thank you for today."

"It's nothing. Compared to the care that Miss Ogasa gave me before, it's just a piece of cake."

"..."

"..."

"That's all over. I'm leaving now."

"Yeah, that's right. It's indeed late." Hirakawa Tetsufumi also stood up and responded to what Ogasa Sayiko said.

However, he still looked at her directly, as if he had something to say.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what's wrong?" Ogasa Sayiko noticed his look and stopped when she was about to leave.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa took the opportunity to express his thoughts.

"Well, Ms. Ogasa, what I want to say is."

"I am really lucky to meet Miss Xiaoli today. If I want to find you normally, I won't have your contact information."

"So I have to take the liberty to ask..."

"If there are any similar questions in the future, I sincerely hope I can continue to help."

"..."

Hesitation, hesitation.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi saw this expression on Ogasa Sayiko's face.

It's natural to be confused.

But after a long time, he saw that the twin sister who looked exactly like Ogasa Suzuki finally picked up the phone.

Chapter 189: Face to face, Shinohara Shiori decided not to retreat

Busy times always go by quickly.

As the end of the semester approaches, time is rushing towards the end of the first semester amidst the last few drizzles of the rainy season.

The date seemed to jump, and the summer solstice on June 6 was still clearly before my eyes. It was only when I came to my senses that I suddenly realized it.

The rainy season is over, it is June 6, Sunday.

I habitually go out with an umbrella. The moment I open the door, it is the early morning after the rain. The golden summer sun shines from above my head, casting shadows under the houses not far ahead.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped on his way out, holding a half-opened umbrella in his hand.

"..."

He raised his head. At this moment, the sky was clear and bright. There was not a single cloud in the sky, just pure blue, so blue that it was a little dazzling.

The air is transparent and light, not heavy.

What lingers on the tip of your nose is the fresh, clean scent of early summer.

The sky has cleared up.

At the door of the house, looking at the dry ground that was sprinkled with golden light for the first time in a long time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned around, walked into the entrance, closed the half-open umbrella, and threw it on the counter on the side.

Then he went out again and walked into the sunshine.

The water vapor evaporates during the rainy season, taking away the heat, so the early summer sun is not hot, just warm. And every time you walk through the sun and into the shadow of the house, you can even feel that the air against your skin is slightly cool.

The heat is still accumulating, accumulating the hot summer.

The practice of the wind band is still going on, and today is the day of the road show.

-

When Tetsufumi Hirakawa arrived downstairs at the school club building, not many students from the wind orchestra had arrived yet.

Several girls in Moritani uniforms were standing at the junction of the shade of the trees and the sunshine, chatting, while others were fiddling with musical instruments or testing the sound.

When they saw him coming, they stopped what they were doing and greeted him together.

"Teacher Hirakawa."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi also greeted from a distance: "Good morning, everyone—"

Then he turned his head and looked around, especially among the group of students, but there was no sign of Ogasa Suzukiko.

——There is no trace of Shinohara Shiori either.

"Is Mr. Ogasa not here yet?"

"not yet."

"Ok."

He responded casually and stood aside.

The long-lost sunshine is a bit lazy.

He stood under the sky, waiting for the students to arrive.

Until, not far away, the campus walkway.

There was the figure of a familiar girl, walking towards this side step by step with a slow pace.

He turned around and looked in the other direction, continuing to wait.

-

The students were all present before the allotted time.

Among the student group, Tetsufumi Hirakawa also found Suzuki Ogasa, who was not much different from the female high school students in terms of height or appearance.

What followed was the usual process of moving musical instruments, organizing discipline, and taking roll call.

"Teacher Hirakawa, Teacher Ogasa, all 61 students in Group A of the Wind Ensemble have arrived."

In the report of the head of the village, Hirakawa Tetsuwen glanced at the standing students for the last time. They stood quietly and waited. look.

At least, there is progress - although it is still far from the Uyama Wind Ensemble.

He scanned the area quickly, and even though there was a girl whose figure caught his attention, he did not linger for long.

"Okay, students, you can get on the bus now."

-

At the end of the line, after waiting for the last student to get on the bus and making sure that no one was left out, Tetsufumi Hirakawa also boarded the vehicle.

There were a few scattered and tiny conversations in the vehicle.

"Students, please take your seats."

After rectifying the discipline, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked around.

Here, there is an empty seat.

However, next to the empty seat, a young girl was sitting very upright, holding a piece of music in her hand and looking down.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood for a few seconds, then raised his head and looked at the back row. All the seats were full and there were no empty seats.

He looked around again.

As if sensing something, the girl raised her face, and her delicate and beautiful face was imprinted in Tong Kong's mind.

She looked at him and spoke, her voice as outstanding as her appearance.

"Teacher Hirakawa, why don't you sit down?"

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi and Shinohara Shiori looked at each other without answering.

But, behind him——

"Teacher, is there something wrong?" the driver turned around and asked.

"-No, it's nothing."

Shaking his head, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to his seat and sat down.

The girl lowered her head again and began to look through the music score.

Soon after, the vehicle started.

-

While driving towards the destination - Tokyo Station, Tetsufumi Hirakawa kept looking forward, his eyes looking through the windshield at the road that continued to stretch in front of the vehicle and the low sedan.

Occasionally, of course, some complicated thoughts would come to my mind, but most of the time they were suppressed.

It was not until he was halfway there that he finally glanced to the side.

The girl was still the same as before, holding the music score in her left hand and looking at it carefully, while practicing the fingering of trumpet playing in the air with her right hand.

However, maybe it was some kind of gift of eye contact, but Shinohara Shiori stopped after just a glance from Hirakawa Tetsufumi. She raised her eyes and caught his gaze before he could avoid it.

The girl's eyes were filled with doubt: "Teacher Pingchuan, is there something wrong?"

"..."

Facing Shinohara Shiori's gaze, Hirakawa Tetsufumi fell silent.

After waiting for a while, he finally thought of something and asked calmly, "Shinohara-san, I just want to ask, do you get carsick?"

"..."

The sunlight passed through the car window and passed over the profile of Shinohara Shiori in front of her. The girl, who had been expressionless, was stunned after he asked this question.

Then, a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Teacher Pingchuan, I see you still remember."

"My memory is pretty good."

The girl smiled and raised her right hand, gently smoothed the hair on her forehead and put it behind her delicate ears.

Then, the words of reply had a lively, slightly rising tone that belonged to a young girl.

"You guess."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi didn't guess, but silently turned his head and looked ahead.

He realized that he had been deceived, at least since he started training.

-

The train arrived at Tokyo Station.

Three buses stopped one after another, and the students lined up to get off the buses, then moved the musical instruments out from the luggage compartment under the buses one after another.

The director also picked up a sign that read "Moriya Girls' High School Wind Orchestra" and stood in front.

Obviously, these students, dressed in neat high school uniforms and carrying musical instruments in groups, would definitely attract the attention of passers-by.

Some people who had more free time simply stopped and watched.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood out without paying attention to the gazes of passers-by.

"Everyone, line up and get ready to go."

Carrying their instruments together and in uncoordinated steps, the Moritani Wind Band walked towards the final performance venue.

Fortunately, the Moriya Wind Ensemble did not participate in the marching...

In this trance, we arrived at the final destination, the square in front of the Marunouchi Exit of Tokyo Station, facing the Imperial Palace in the distance.

-

In the designated performance position on the square, set up the chairs for performance, and then tune.Everyone is making the final preparations, and then, waiting for the start of the road show.

In this situation, some passers-by who had more time - including one who had followed since getting off the bus - stopped and prepared to act as spectators.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood aside and watched the students who were making their preparations. He looked back and forth several times, then picked up his mobile phone and checked. There was still some time before the performance began, so he walked towards Ogasa Suzukiko who was standing in front.
