I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Following the girl's figure, Moritani's plaid skirt of summer uniform, her white and slender legs, and down, the girl's feet.

"Which foot?" he asked, controlling his gaze so as not to glance sideways.

"Right foot." The girl above his head answered, her voice clearly showing that she was trying to suppress the pain.

Maybe it's twisted quite a bit.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the girl's right foot.

The girl's feet were wrapped in white indoor shoes with light green edges and white calf socks.

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi stretched out his hand slightly hesitantly.

"Teacher Hirakawa...please help me take a look."

Just by listening to the voice, I can imagine Shinohara Shiori's frowning face.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped procrastinating.

He stretched out his hand and gently lifted the girl's right foot with one hand, and heard a slight gasp from the girl.

"Feel sorry."

"……It doesn't matter."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa used his other hand to hold the heel of his shoe, and tried to keep steady as he took off his shoe little by little.

He took off his shoes and put them aside.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the girl's right foot, which was still wrapped in calf socks.

"Sorry."

After saying sorry again, without any further hesitation, Tetsufumi Hirakawa reached out his hand again and gently pinched the girl's white and tender calf just above her ankle.

At the same time, the fingers of the other hand pinched the calf socks and slowly pulled them down.

Just like peeling an egg, the girl's feet wrapped in white calf socks were gradually exposed to the air and his sight.

Until it was pulled down to the ankles, the speed became even slower - in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's mind, it was like a delicate surgical operation.

It was not until the red and swollen area on the girl's ankle was exposed that Tetsufumi Hirakawa sped up and peeled off the entire sock.

So, Shiori Shinohara's entire right foot was completely exposed.

"..."

"..."

After a pause, Tetsufumi Hirakawa put the socks into the shoes he had just placed next to him, and then swept his eyes to the girl's feet.

The spoiled young lady's feet were equally white and delicate, with round, cute and small toes. She shrank back a little nervously under his gaze.

"..."

"..."

The stairs were so quiet that one could hear breathing.

"...Teacher Hirakawa, how is it?" The girl's slightly nervous voice also sounded.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa loosened one hand, picked up the shoe next to him, put the young lady's foot on the shoe, and then stood up.

He looked at Shinohara Shiori.

"It looks pretty serious. It's very swollen. Does it hurt?"

Shinohara Shiori nodded.

"Ah."

"Maybe I need to go to the infirmary."

"Ah."

After the exchange, Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked down the stairs.

This is the fifth floor, and the health room is on the first floor.

Obviously, it must be realized that it is not possible for Shinohara Shiori, a young lady, to go down the stairs alone with the help of a handrail.

"..."

"..."

It was inexplicably quiet again, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa kept his eyes looking down.

"Shinohara-san, can I help you down?"

"Ah."

Chapter 196: Tetsufumi Hirakawa will take action

Shiori Shinohara leaned on the handrail, her right foot, which had just taken off her socks and shoes, exposed to the air, and she felt pain in her ankle.

Beside her, Tetsufumi Hirakawa squatted down again.

His fingers gently pinched a spot above her ankle, and there was a strange sensation where he touched, somewhere between numbness and itchiness.

This is the first time for this young lady.

He moved his toes slightly, but was afraid that such movement would attract attention, so he remained still again.

"Can it be lifted up?" Just as I was struggling, I heard the teacher's question.

"……Um."

After nodding, she felt her feet being gently lifted.

"Put on your shoes first?" he suggested.

"Yeah." Shinohara Shiori nodded again.

Then she saw the male teacher under her pull out the shoes that were originally placed under her feet, and then stared at the socks she had just taken off. After hesitating for a few seconds, he pinched the socks with his fingers and picked them up.

——There should still be some of her body temperature left on her socks.

Shinohara Shiori thought of this inexplicably, and then her eyes followed the socks and were put aside.

It seems... there is no need to worry about this. After all, now... her right foot is already in the teacher's hand.

"..."

Shinohara Shiori raised her eyes, not daring to look down anymore, and instead stared at her own hands. She tightly grasped the railing with her left hand.

Only then did she realize that she was holding the handrail too tightly.

She relaxed.

The strange touch continued to come from under my feet, out of sight, and because I was concentrating, the feeling was very obvious.

Her right foot was grabbed and, with the teacher's help, she was put into the shoe.

Gently, her feet were tucked into the shoes. After a little adjustment, her bare feet were finally completely covered.

Then her feet were gently placed on the ground.

In the sight, the squatting teacher stood up and came into view again.

Shinohara Shiori did not meet his gaze, but... she looked down at the socks that Hirakawa Tetsufumi was pinching with his fingers.

"..."

After a moment of silence, a voice was heard: "Shinohara-san, let's go."

"...Yeah." Shinohara Shiori responded, and then, in a low voice, you could tell she was shy, "Teacher Hirakawa...socks."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked down at the girl's white socks pinched between his right fingers.

"..."

He returned the socks to the girl.

Shinohara Shiori took the socks - yes, they were still a little warm - she crumpled them into a ball and silently stuffed them into the pocket of her plaid skirt.

"Give me the sheet music."

"...Yeah." Shinohara Shiori handed the music score in her right hand to Hirakawa Tetsufumi, and he took it.

"Okay, be careful."

As she was being instructed, Shinohara Shiori supported herself on the handrail with one hand and grasped the right arm of the teacher beside her with the other, and walked down slowly and haltingly.

Neither of them spoke.

-

The health room arrived soon.

Because it was summer vacation, the school doctor was not there and the door was closed.

However, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had just gone to the office to get the key. When he arrived at the door of the health room, he opened the door first and then helped Shinohara Shiori in.

"Sit down."

"Ah."

Shinohara Shiori sat on the white bed in the health room like a robot that could only say "hmm".

"Have you taken off your shoes?"

"Ah."

After getting Shinohara Shiori's consent, Hirakawa Tetsufumi squatted in front of Shinohara Shiori again, and his eyes were on the girl's smooth calves.

This time he was a little more skilled. He placed the girl's music score on the bed, freed his hands, and quickly took off both of the girl's shoes with his fingers.

I didn't look around, just looked at my right ankle, which was red and swollen.

"It's better to apply ice after a sprain."

"Yeah." Shinohara Shiori just nodded.

Without saying anything more, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood up and walked towards the freezer on the side of the health room.

The freezer was not powered off, and when it was opened, there were still ice packs inside.

Take out a bag of ice, and then find a piece of gauze from the cabinet, wrap the ice bag with the gauze, and wrap it a few times - ice compress does not mean directly touching the ice bag to the skin, which is easy to get frostbite. It is better to wrap it with a towel, gauze or something like that.

After doing this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa returned to Shinohara Shiori's bed.

"Shinohara-san, put your feet on the bed."

"Ah."

After giving the command, the robot Shinohara Shiori moved its body and lifted its feet from under the bed.

The fabric of the plaid skirt only covers her thighs. Below that, it is all white, with only her left foot still wearing socks.

The teacher was right beside her, his eyes fixed on her right foot.

“……” Shinohara Shiori grabbed the hem of her skirt.

Then, the teacher placed the cool ice pack in her hand on her injured ankle, put it in place, and pressed it with her hand.

The coolness spread quickly.

"Feeling better?"

"...Yeah, much better."

The coldness paralyzed the nerves, and the pain was quickly relieved. Shinohara Shiori, who had been distracted, also came back to her senses a little.

She looked at the teacher beside the bed.

He was crouching at the foot of the bed, holding the ice pack with one hand, not noticing her gaze, but thinking about something.

After a few seconds, he took out his cell phone from his pocket, turned on the screen and took a look.

When he hung up the phone, he looked at her.
