I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

The female teacher sighed helplessly.

"Teacher Pingchuan, you, you."

"I am."

"…So where are we going now?"

"Hmm..." Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought, finally.

"Since I don't know where to go, I'll just walk around."

"Just walk away?"

"Well, it's decided." Hirakawa Tetsufumi was inexplicably interested and started walking again, "Teacher Hisata, let's go."

"..." Hisada Mosu didn't know what to do and followed him.

The two began to wander aimlessly in this strange place in Kyoto.

"Come to think of it, why is Hisada-sensei always so gentle? I've never seen Hisada-sensei angry."

"What would Mr. Hirakawa do if he saw it?"

"Hmm... I can't imagine it."

"try it?"

"No... Let's forget about that. It seems that the gentler a person is, the scarier they are when they are angry."

"So, Mr. Hirakawa, please remember this."

"Yes, I will."

Although he didn't say anything to remember, it could only be referring to today's appointment.

In order not to disappoint or anger her, I should resolve the matter properly after returning to Tokyo.

……

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, but the two continued walking.

How long will it take?

Probably everyone knows it.

"Teacher Hisada, actually, I really want to ask you something."

"what?"

"do you like me?"

"..."

"Um?

"…Why are you asking? It's so sudden."

"I want to hear Hisada-sensei say this."

“…No.” He turned his face away angrily.

"Hey, why."

"Because Mr. Pingchuan did something wrong and needs to be punished."

"..."

……

"Teacher Hirakawa." While walking quietly, Hisata Maki suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to hear you recite a poem."

"Eh……"

"What's wrong?"

"I don't mind, but it's my birthday and I'm here. Now it's Hisada-sensei's birthday, should I still come?"

"punish."

Just one word stopped him from talking any more.

As the female teacher smiled, the streets were almost deserted as it was almost twelve o'clock, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi spoke with a little helplessness.

The calm voice echoes in Kyoto, which has a classical charm.

"I still have news but you are nowhere to be found. I cannot bear the longing for you and will disappear like the white dew in the morning."

"..."

……

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the time for the third time. It was almost twelve o'clock.

The female teacher next to him laughed at his attempt to step on the spot accurately.

When Tetsufumi Hirakawa took out his cell phone for the fourth time, he had already kept his eyes on it.

"What are you laughing at? I really want to send my best wishes to Mr. Hisada as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Hisada Masu responded with a smile, and both of them slowed down their pace.

Time approaches, minute by minute, in the silent ticking sound.

Until the last moment.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa put away his phone, looked around, and counted the time silently in his mind.

"Reached?"

"not yet."

The pace, which had already slowed down, finally stopped completely, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at Hisata Masuki.

"How long will it take?"

Despite her inquiring look, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did not answer, because it was already - "3", the number was counting down in his mind.

"Teacher Hisata."

I opened my mouth to utter the name, and time quietly moved towards 59, and then returned to zero.

August 8, 20:00.

"Happy birthday."

"..."

They didn’t know where they were going. There was no one on the street anymore. Only the street lights were still there to keep them company.

Under the light, Hisada Masu met his gaze and smiled softly.

"Thank you, Mr. Hirakawa."

Chapter 213: Birthday, Return to Tokyo

It's past twelve o'clock.

In Kyoto, a city far away from Tokyo, the two walked on the streets and had walked until this moment, just to be able to greet the people around them as soon as possible when they arrived, and to be the first to hear the blessings from the people around them.

"If you think about it, it seems a bit... childish."

Slowly, in the late night wind, Hisada Masu looked ahead, the empty streets extending to a strange place.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was looking at the navigation on his phone, and his destination was a nearby hotel.

"What's childish?" He looked up ahead and saw a fork in the road. By the way, while answering the teacher beside him, he reminded, "It's on the left, almost there."

"I just walked till late at night, just for a birthday wish."

"Is it childish?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi glanced at Hisata Masaki's profile inexplicably.

Hisada Masu turned to the other side and didn't let him see her profile.

"childish."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa blinked in confusion, and then.

"So, Mr. Hisada, where is the childishness?"

"It will."

I couldn't see the face, but from the voice, it seemed that he was inexplicably shy.

"..."

"..."

The only sound on the street at night was the sound of their footsteps. Under the streetlights, their shadows were pulled far away, and as they continued to move forward, their shadows moved closer to their feet.

Until I reached the fork in the road and stood right under the street light, my shadow formed a ball and surrounded my feet.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly laughed, and his slowed pace finally stopped.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what are you laughing at?"

The inexplicably shy female teacher still looked away.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi stopped laughing, and then said with emotion: "Teacher Hisada, are you trying to express childishness or romance?"

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

Hisada Moki looked at him, then nodded firmly.

"childish."

"..."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi surrendered to her gaze.

"Okay, okay, it's childish."

"Ah."

Nodded again.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi started walking again with a smile, and Hisada Masaki followed him half a step behind.

"But even if it's childish, being able to do childish things with Hisada-sensei is meaningful."

"..."

"Because Hisada-sensei is cute."

"..."

The high sky, the quiet and deserted streets, a few lit street lights, and the people you care about around you.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

An inexplicable impulse surged up in his mind, and he looked at the deserted street ahead, always having the urge to shout something.

But fortunately I managed to hold it in.

Because, at the moment when Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened his mouth, a vague figure walked out of the blind spot in the night and appeared on the road ahead.

"..."

"..."

pass by.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked back at the passerby.
