I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"Aliens don't claim to be aliens."

"Hey, so the loophole lies here?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded thoughtfully.

"..."

"..."

After a while of silence, under the increasingly ominous look of Hisada Masaki, Hirakawa Tetsufumi was finally forced to answer the original question directly.

"If I were to ask why...I was so serious today because I received encouragement from Mr. Hisada."

"Really?"

Hisada Mashu's eyes revealed doubt and she didn't believe this explanation.

"I've encouraged you in the past, but Mr. Hirakawa was just a little more serious. It's definitely not like today. I feel like his whole spirit is different."

"...Is that so?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa lowered his head and began to think seriously - he seemed to be analyzing himself.

It was not until a long time later that he raised his head with an attitude of "I understand".

Then, under the inquiring gaze of the oncoming female teacher, he said affirmatively: "I understand."

"Ok?"

"It's because Mr. Hisada was so cute today. The way he encouraged me was so cute. The way he shyly said 'Hisaada Energy' was so cute. He was cute in every way. So, the particularly cute Mr. Hisada gave me such cute encouragement, which made me so serious."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa gave a thumbs up and finally nodded [extremely] seriously.

"..."

"..."

The air between the two of them was completely silent.

The teacher's eyes were lost in the sounds of "cute".

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was still nodding his head as if to say "that's it".

"..."

"..."

The end result was that the lake was gone.

Looking at the female teacher who didn't know how to reply and turned away in confusion, Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled slightly and began to devote himself to his work again.

However, before that, I have to say that this female teacher who cares about him has very sharp observation skills.

"My whole mental state is completely different" - that's absolutely true.

There's nothing I can do about it. After all... this is my last period of teaching.

Even if he is as lazy as he is, he will still think about doing his best.

just.

He really needed to think about how to tell her that he was going to resign.

Chapter 222 New Semester, New Arrangements

Noon, lunch time, Class A, Year 2.

Sitting at her seat, Amemiya Ye took out the lunch box from the drawer as usual and placed it on the table. Then, while opening the lunch box, she quietly waited for the arrival of a certain young lady.

but……

How is this going?

After waiting for a while but seeing no one coming, Amamiya Ye had to look at Shinohara Shiori's seat not far away, but saw -

Shinohara Shiori sat upright in her seat, eating her lunch in small bites.

"?"

Amemiya Ye tilted his head and stared at her in confusion.

Huh? What happened?

Why didn't you come?

Although the two of them had never said it explicitly, since last semester, when teacher Hirakawa started the "friendship plan", they had indeed become "good friends" in a sense.

At least during meal time, the two of them will be together.

However, today, the first day after school started, he didn't come... Is this an abnormal situation?

It is definitely an abnormal situation.

Amemiya Ye, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled something unusual.

So...something really happened during the summer vacation that she didn't know about, right?

After she instigated this young lady to take action, something must have happened between Shinohara Shiori, who was in the wind orchestra club with Teacher Hirakawa this summer, and Teacher Hirakawa.

For example, when she went to Teacher Pingchuan's house a few days ago, she noticed that Teacher Pingchuan was not in a good state.

For example, during class today, she also felt that the atmosphere between Shinohara Shiori and Teacher Hirakawa was wrong, very wrong.

Humph, in the past, when Shinohara Shiori was in class, she would stare at Teacher Hirakawa intently. She knew about this.

Today, his eyes turned cold.

Besides, now, this young lady didn't come to see her for some unknown reason.

All the anomalies point to one thing——

Could it be that Shinohara Shiori confessed her love to Mr. Hirakawa during the summer vacation and got rejected?

"..."

Amemiya Ye blinked and turned her head to look at Shinohara Shiori.

The young lady seemed to be aware of her gaze, stopped picking up the food and turned around.

Their eyes met at this moment.

"..."

"..."

Silence, or rather dead silence.

For some reason, Amemiya Ye suddenly felt some extremely terrifying aura in Shinohara Shiori's eyes.

very scary.

Like the ice that is sinking into the world of the end, shrouded in the eternal night—

That’s what Amemiya Ye thinks.

She immediately shrank her neck uncomfortably under this look, turned back and avoided his sight.

Things are not good.

His eyes were so cold and somewhat scary.

And this time is different from the past. In the past, Amamiya Ye and this young lady also felt this kind of cold aura, but before...

In other words, she looks strong on the outside but is weak on the inside. Apart from her scary eyes, this young lady is actually completely vulnerable and can be defeated easily.

But this time it was different, absolutely different.

The look in this young lady's eyes was serious. If she ran up to her now and asked what happened during the summer vacation, something would definitely go wrong - it was such a terrible feeling.

Sure enough, something went wrong.

Amamiya Ye’s premonition just now was correct.

If something wasn't wrong, he definitely wouldn't have such a scary look, right?

but……

If you think that such a look can scare her away—the chosen one of the Eternal Full Moon—you are totally wrong.

Amamiya Yo came back to her senses from Shinohara Shiori's gaze and decided -

She stood up.

She is not afraid of a mere Shinohara Shiori.

She walked over and came in front of Shinohara Shiori.

Miss Shinohara raised her head quietly and glanced at her again with cold eyes.

"..."

"..."

Amemiya Ye turned around, walked stiffly back to his seat and sat down.

"..."

The enemy's strength is unfathomable, so don't act rashly. Besides, these mortals are inconvenient to show up because of their hidden bodies, so let her go for now.

Well, that's it! It's definitely not that she's scared, absolutely not!

……

Just like that, on the first day of the new semester, Amamiya Ye seemed to have returned to the time long ago when he was having his meal alone in silence.

But it’s not a big deal to be alone, she still has a secret body and Teacher Hirakawa to accompany her.

Ok.

After lunch, Amemiya Ye cleaned up the dishes by herself and then sat down.

After being stunned for a moment, she took out a notebook from her schoolbag, placed it on the table, and was about to open it.

but……

"Amamiya-san."

In her memory, the gentle voice of a teacher called out her name.

She raised her head and saw Teacher Hirakawa looking at her from the door.

Ok?

Amamiya Ye was a little confused.

However, judging from the look in his eyes, it seemed that he wanted to talk to her about something and asked her to go outside to talk about it.

Then go for it.

Amemiya Ye put away the notebook, stuffed it back into his schoolbag, and then walked out.

……

"Teacher Hirakawa."

In the corridor, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was facing the girl in front of him, Amamiya Yo, who was greeting him obediently.

Of course he had something to ask her.

After hesitating for a moment, Hirakawa concentrated his attention and spoke: "...Um, Amamiya-san."

"Yeah." Amamiya nodded slightly, indicating that she was listening carefully. "Is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Hirakawa?"

"It's about the promise I made to Amamiya-san before."

When I talk about this incident, I will think of what happened at home in the last few days of summer vacation. It happened not long ago so the scene always comes to my mind.

However, Tetsufumi Hirakawa tried his best to control the images in his mind and spoke in a calm tone.

"Now that the new semester has begun, the teacher thinks we can find a time to solve this matter with Amamiya-san. What do you think?"

It was agreed that the communication problem between this middle school girl and her mother would be solved.

Yu Gongye still nodded obediently, as if she was following his instructions: "Yes."

"So I want to find some time to visit Amamiya's home and learn more about the situation. What do you think?"

"No problem."

"I was thinking this Saturday, but I don't know if Amamiya's mother has time."
