I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"..."

He was undoubtedly plunged into silence because of this accident.

"...Teacher Hirakawa?" Ogasa Suzukiko waved her hand in front of him.

"Ah... nothing, nothing." After coming to his senses, Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled and denied it repeatedly. Then, he asked tentatively, "Then what Mr. Ogasa meant is..."

"I go with you?"

"Yes!" Ogasa Suzuki nodded vigorously.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced in the direction of the wind orchestra. The lights had long been turned off and no sound was coming from them. The students were all asleep.

What this means is that he is the only one who can accompany the famous teacher.

"……OK."

……

On the dark stairs, Ogasa Suzukiko grabbed Hirakawa Tetsufumi's arm and walked down step by step.

At the same time, her explanation came.

"In fact, I didn't feel anything when I was walking just now. But when I was halfway there, I suddenly remembered that I was afraid of the dark, and I immediately became scared."

"..."

Faced with this explanation, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless for a moment. He wanted to complain, but held it back.

Is he really a natural fool?

In the end, he could only sigh helplessly and walked down. When he reached the platform of the stairwell, he reached out and turned on the light, and then the two continued to go down.

There are restrooms on the first to fourth floors of the club building, but not on the fifth floor. Perhaps it's because the area of ​​the wind orchestra concert hall is too large and there is no reserved space.

Who knows what the reason is, but this is the situation.

But it’s not that bad to go from the fifth floor to the fourth floor, it’s just a few steps away.

Ogasa Suzuki just said that they were halfway there... but in fact, they were only a few steps away from the bathroom. And the teacher who was afraid of the dark would rather walk back to find him than force herself to walk a few more steps.

Ok……

Not knowing what to say, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to the bathroom door with Suzuki Ogasa and turned on the light at the door.

"Okay, Mr. Xiaoli, here we are."

Controlling his face and revealing a gentle smile, Tetsufumi Hirakawa gently comforted the teacher who was afraid of the dark.

"Yeah, thank you, Mr. Pingchuan."

Ogasa Suzuki nodded to show that she understood, then she let go of his arm and walked into the bathroom with peace of mind.

After waiting for about a few minutes, Ogasa Suzukiko walked out of the bathroom, washed her hands and wiped them clean with a tissue.

"Okay, Mr. Pingchuan, let's go back."

Naturally she continued to grab his arms with both hands.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa said nothing, turned off the lights, and then allowed Ogasa Suzukiko to hold him and started walking back to the fifth floor.

The only sounds in the quiet club building were their footsteps.

"Tap tap tap."

'Da da da. ’

Well-arranged.

He walked into the stairwell and went up. At some point, Hirakawa Tetsufumi suddenly heard a pair of footsteps a little further away between his footsteps and Ogasa Suzukiko's.

It sounded from the fifth floor, getting closer and closer until it stopped.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa raised his head and looked at it in confusion.

The light on the stairs illuminated a figure that appeared at the entrance of the stairs.

A girl's figure, long hair, and a pretty face.

"..."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi and the girl looked at each other.

"Shinohara-san?"

Ogasa Suzuki, who was holding Hirakawa Tetsufumi's arm, looked up at Shinohara Shiori who appeared above her in confusion.

And Tetsufumi Hirakawa...

After staying for a moment, he lowered his head and glanced at Ogasa Suzukiko's hand which was tightly holding his arm, looking quite intimate.

"..."

He raised his head and the light illuminated Shinohara Shiori's back as she turned and walked away.

"..."

"Huh?" Ogasa Suzuki was confused.

Chapter 216 Tokyo Metropolitan Race, Heavy Rain

June 8, morning.

Dark clouds carrying heavy rain covered the sky, and the sky above Tokyo turned grayish white.

Under the sky, a bus was driving on the road, taking the Moritani Wind Band to the competition venue.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat in a window seat on one of the buses, and the seat next to him was empty.

The girl who usually appeared here was sitting somewhere now.

He was the only one staring out the window silently.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Games is about to begin, a rainstorm is brewing, and Shinohara Shiori's issue is waiting to be resolved after the performance ends.

And what happened last night.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't know what to say.

It seems like there was a misunderstanding between me and Mr. Ogasa.

Does that need explanation?

If an explanation is needed, from what position did he explain this to Shinohara Shiori...

Teacher and student? Former lovers? Or something else?

——If it is the first two relationships, it seems that there is no need for much explanation.

Only couples who are having a quarrel need to try hard to explain in order to prove their innocence.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at the sky outside the car window, the clouds were drooping, depressing and depressing.

……

The vehicle arrived at the competition site.

The sky was gloomy and there were many students wearing various uniforms around.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Suzuki Ogasa stood in front of Moritani's student formation to maintain discipline.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet."

"Minister, roll call."

"Please make sure all the musical instruments are complete."

"..."

Finally, after the discipline was rectified, as an instructor, Tetsufumi Hirakawa naturally had to say something.

He looked at the student body.

Dozens of female high school students, wearing neat uniforms and holding their own musical instruments, stood upright with the serious expressions they should have before a competition.

Of course, the most eye-catching one is the girl in the center, Shiori Shinohara, who has an outstanding appearance, an upright posture, and the aura of a lady from a noble family just by standing there.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi glanced over.

Then, after taking a deep breath, he spoke as calmly as possible.

"My fellow students, the competition is about to begin, and I won't say much. All your hard practice will not be in vain, and Moriya will not be stopped by the Tokyo Metropolitan Tournament. So, do your best."

Under the gloomy sky, Moritani began to enter the venue.

……

The preparations in the backstage were proceeding in an orderly manner. They tuned the instruments, familiarized themselves with the music one last time, and then lined up, waiting to go on stage.

Moriya's number is 3, very close to the front.

"Next, it's the wind orchestra of the Moriya Private Girls' High School."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood beside the team, quietly watching Ogasa Suzukiko organize the students - he could not help with the following performance.

The petite female teacher, wearing a teacher's uniform, stood in front of the line with her fists clenched and raised above her head.

“Everyone, come on!”

"Come on everyone!" the minister shouted.

"Come on!" the rest of the students shouted.

Then, one by one, the students walked past him and onto the field.

Shinohara Shiori also walked past him without even glancing at him.

However, there were other students who looked at him and greeted him, the instructor who was gradually becoming active in the wind orchestra and was no longer invisible.

"come on."

"Well, come on!"

In response to Tetsufumi Hirakawa's encouragement, the last student also walked into the concert hall.

……

The venue of the Tokyo Metropolitan Games was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were watching us in the audience...it doesn’t matter anymore.

Ogasa Suzukiko stood at the conductor's seat, and Moritani's students sat at the performance seats.

The dry cold air, the silence in my ears, my companions around me, the musical instruments in my hands, and the baton in Mr. Ogasa's hand.

That was all they could sense.

They were waiting, waiting for the moment when the baton would be raised and then lowered.

Then the melody was played, filling the concert hall.

……

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood in the backstage, his eyes never leaving the stage.

Although it was only the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition, it was different from last year - last year he did not participate in the normal practice of the wind band at all, so even in the final national competition, he did the same. Looking at his students on the stage, he expected to win, but he felt almost no nervousness.

Despite his title as an instructor, the wind orchestra is almost separated from him, and he is also separated from the students on the stage.

He had no sense of participation and could not understand the feelings of the students on the stage.

But this time is different.

At the beginning, Shinohara Shiori invited him to go, and the girl supervised him to go. Finally, Hirakawa Tetsufumi took the initiative to arrive every day for the practice of the wind orchestra, supervised students' practice, organized roadshows, and led the team to participate in competitions.

He is truly a member of the wind orchestra, not just a nominal teacher.
