I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"..."

There was another moment of silence, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi saw that Hisata Moki's eyes unconsciously dropped again.

She was thinking.

Thinking about the results.

"Teacher Hisata, how is it?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi didn't want to wait, he asked softly.

“……” Hisada Masu stretched out her hand and twisted a strand of hair with her fingers in trouble.

"What if... you really don't agree?"

"Eh……"

"After all, Mr. Pingchuan is really too much. He changed his mind when it was about to happen, even though it was clearly agreed upon."

"……Feel sorry."

"When I celebrated Mr. Pingchuan's birthday, I prepared it very carefully."

"I know."

“I’m looking forward to it when it’s over.”

"Yeah. I'm looking forward to it too."

"But something unexpected happened."

"..."

"..."

Hisada Masu's voice disappeared for a while, and finally, her diverted gaze finally focused on her.

The gentle gaze is as gentle as the flowing moonlight.

"Actually, before coming to Kyoto, I wanted to be angry with Mr. Hirakawa."

“…Are you angry?”

"Of course I'm angry. After all, it's so excessive and I've been looking forward to it for so long."

"Hmm..." Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't know how to respond. He also felt that his behavior was terrible.

"Do you know why it didn't happen in the end?"

"why?"

"Because Mr. Hirakawa remembered to call me and was ready to return to Tokyo."

"..."Hirakawa Tetsufumi saw the smile on the female teacher's lips.

"If I hadn't had that phone call, I would have been absolutely mad. Absolutely."

"…Did I escape?"

"Yeah." Hisada Masu nodded seriously.

"I saved my life."

“…It’s not that exaggerated.”

Therefore, the initial resentment from the female teacher during that phone call was alleviated to an unknown extent.

Fortunately.

"Teacher Hisada is always so gentle." This is obviously such an excessive thing.

"But this seems to have spoiled a certain teacher."

"how come?"

"He kept talking about his own things and... even said he wanted a hug. I should have been angry at Mr. Hirakawa."

"…But Hisada-sensei didn't."

"Hmph." Hisada Mashu turned her face away, looking like "I'm angry now."

Not like being angry, but like being sulky. Not scary, but very cute.

"Teacher Hisada, I like you."

"..."

My face, which had finally recovered, suddenly turned red again.

"What are you doing..."

"Because Mr. Hisada is so cute, I can't help but say it."

"..."

The lovely female teacher ignored him.

"Well, Mr. Hisada...what do you think?"

"..."

After a moment's pause, she turned and looked directly at him.

Gentle yet helpless.

"Teacher Hirakawa, do you know?"

"If I were completely disappointed in you, I wouldn't have come to Kyoto."

"..."

"I won't listen to Mr. Hirakawa's explanations."

"..."

"I shouldn't still be here, waiting for Mr. Pingchuan to celebrate my birthday."

"..."

Even though the light is not bright and a little dim, the night cannot conceal the gentleness and loveliness of this female teacher.

"Although Mr. Hirakawa's final choice was still very bad, but... it's not unacceptable."

"Teacher Hisata..."

"Stop." Hisada Moki looked at him and interrupted what he was about to say.

"Then this time, can Mr. Pingchuan really guarantee that nothing else will happen?"

"Definitely not."

"Don't forget, you just... confessed."

"Yeah, I like Hisada-sensei."

"..."

"..."

His expression had become slightly more serious, then softened again.

He turned away in trouble, his cheeks puffing up a little.

"Teacher Hirakawa, please don't interrupt."

"Okay." Hirakawa Tetsufumi replied obediently. Now, whatever the female teacher said was the truth.

"..." After thinking about what she was talking about, Hisada Mashu continued the topic, "Also, we also... hugged each other."

"Ah."

"If this situation changes again, I will really be angry with Mr. Hirakawa."

"Yes, I know. And..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi answered seriously, "What I did just now was to tell Mr. Hisada that I will never change my mind again."

"Then... I will reluctantly forgive Mr. Pingchuan this time."

Then she lowered her head, looking a little lonely but making herself less disappointed, and comforted herself.

"After all, last time, although we agreed on it, we didn't make it clear."

Last time, I only said that I would meet him on his birthday. Everything else, like being together, confessing my feelings, etc., were all implicit things and were not said out loud.

"And no matter what happens, at least Mr. Hirakawa didn't break the promise to meet on your birthday. Mr. Hirakawa still remembers it."

"..."

The atmosphere became gloomy again.

It's heartbreaking to see the female teacher lowering her head and making excuses for herself.

"Teacher Hisata..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, Hisata Masaki's tone suddenly rose again.

She raised her head and stared at him seriously and earnestly.

"But this time it's different. It has been made clear that Mr. Pingchuan must give me an answer by November at the latest, and it must be the answer I expect."

The sudden change made Hirakawa Tetsufumi stunned for a moment, but he nodded quickly.

"Well, it will definitely happen."

"..."

"..."

After looking at each other, Hisada Moki turned around and walked forward.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood there, blinked, looked at the teacher's back as she left, and followed her.

"Teacher Hisada, why are you gone?"

"Teacher Hirakawa, are you planning to just stand here and wait until tomorrow morning?"

"……Too."

"..."

"Teacher Hisata."

"what's wrong?"

"It's so kind of you."

“…That’s enough.”

"Nothing can be said enough."

The two of them walked forward again, on this unfamiliar street of Kyoto, towards a distant place where they didn't know where to go.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Hirakawa, where are we going?"

"..."

The footsteps suddenly stopped.

Hisada Masu turned around and looked at Hirakawa Tetsufumi who had stopped a step behind her.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa responded to the teacher's gaze, blinking subtly.

"..."

"..."

"Teacher Hirakawa?"

"Ah... that." Hirakawa Tetsufumi turned his face away, feeling a little guilty, "I don't know."

"..." Hisada Masu was troubled, "Hey...it was Mr. Hirakawa who came to the station to pick me up, right?"

"Well, that's right."

"Then you haven't decided where to go?"

"Because it happened too suddenly, and I was thinking about other things, I didn't think it through." explained Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"..."
