I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"Ok."

He waited quietly, and students not far away also cast inquiring glances at him. After all, it was very rare for him to appear here.

——Not all members of the wind band were present this morning, as morning exercises were conducted on a voluntary basis.

So there are still many students who are confused, and questions like "Who is this teacher?" in the morning also occasionally emerge in the crowd and reach his ears.

Whenever this happened, and whenever the new students who came into the concert hall asked the same question, Shinohara Shiori's gaze towards him became more and more...

"Teacher, this is how famous you are."

Such a look.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had no choice but to choose not to see her.

After waiting for about ten minutes, most people had arrived and Shinohara Shiori walked away from him and returned to the student queue.

At this time, the door of the activity room was opened again.

Then, through the gradually widening gap in the door, the brilliant golden sunset overflowed into the concert hall, casting a golden path of light on the floor.

But it was soon covered up. A shadow blocked the sunlight, and then Ogasa Suzuki appeared behind the door.

She walked into the activity room, closed the door gently, and blocked the sunset out again.

She turned around, glanced around the concert hall, walked up to the students, waved her hand towards the students who were still making some noise, and then spoke in her soft voice that could soften people's ears when it was close to their ears.

"Students, please be quiet."

"..."

The noise turned into whispers, but in this concert hall, even such a low voice sounded harsh.

Teacher Ogasa had to continue speaking.

"Students, please be quiet."

"..."

The mosquito-like sound never stops.

At this time, a girl among the students - Tetsufumi Hirakawa remembered that she was the minister - walked out of the crowd, stood in front of the crowd, clapped her hands, and then shouted.

"Please everyone be quiet!"

After this happened three times, the activity room finally became quiet.

After calming down, the minister walked to Mr. Ogasa and whispered something to him.

After she finished speaking, Ogasa Suzukiko's surprised voice echoed in the concert hall.

"Teacher Hirakawa is here?"

It was not until this time that Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was sitting in the corner and blocked by the crowd, stood up and walked forward.

"Teacher Ogasa." He greeted with a smile.

"Hey, it's Mr. Pingchuan after all. Long time no see. Why are you here?"

Well...it's been a long time since we last met, and "Why are you here?" is a very unnecessary question.

He blinked at Mr. Ogasa who was looking at him curiously as if he had discovered something wonder, and gave a helpless smile.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa did not explain much, but turned around, faced the students, and nodded slightly.

"Hello, students. I'm Tetsufumi Hirakawa, and I'm the instructor of our wind band. Do you have any questions you want to ask?"

After these two short sentences, the crowd began to get agitated again, with some discussion heard.

"So he is our instructor?"

"Kind of handsome."

"But why did you show up now?"

"Who knows."

"..."

The discussion became louder and louder, so much so that Teacher Ogasa beside him had to step out again and shouted in her soft, rice-cake-like voice: "Everyone, please be quiet."

No effect.

At the same time, Shinohara Shiori in the crowd gave him a sarcastic look, and seeing this look, Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled bitterly.

As expected, the current situation of the wind orchestra is just as Shinohara Shiori said this morning.

That's a bit bad.

Chapter 32: Wind Ensemble, Enjoying Practicing

This morning, Hirakawa Tetsufumi asked Shinohara Shiori why he had to join the wind band. Shinohara Shiori answered:

"Because Ms. Ogasa is indeed a qualified music consultant, but she is definitely not a qualified instructor."

Well, it was a mercilessly sharp review, not at all subtle.

When I continued to ask why, she said:

"Ms. Ogasa's musical and conducting skills are more than adequate, but due to her personality and other reasons, she has little authority in front of the students in the wind orchestra."

"It can be said that when faced with Mr. Ogasa's instructions, many students lacked the ability to execute them and were just a pile of loose sand."

After making such comments, Shinohara Shiori invited Hirakawa Tetsufumi to perform with the wind orchestra again this afternoon, that is, now.

And looking at the wind band that just couldn't calm down, and...

As for Mr. Ogasa who is still trying hard to shout "Everyone, please be quiet", Tetsufumi Hirakawa thinks... maybe what Shinohara Shiori said is right.

Of course, it is too early to draw conclusions now, so let's wait and see.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi just stood in front of the students, waiting quietly. After he introduced himself, several students were still whispering to each other.

"Shiraishi-san, please be quiet."

Teacher Ogasa had to call out and remind them by name.

Then, the girl named Shiraishi turned around and stuck out her tongue at Ogasa Suzukiko with a smile.

"Okay, Mr. Ogasa."

"The others...Matsuura-san."

"Yes."

"Takao-san."

"Hey."

"Please be quiet."

"Okay."

"..."

After calling out the names, the noisy scene finally quieted down. It was not easy.

Sighing silently, Tetsufumi Hirakawa turned around and faced Ogasa Suzukiko.

"Teacher Ogasa."

"Teacher Hirakawa, what's wrong?"

"Actually, I came here today just to see how the wind band is doing. Teacher Ogasa, just practice as usual."

"Is that so? Okay."

Looking at Mr. Ogasa in front of him nodding obediently like a student, Tetsufumi Hirakawa quietly stepped aside, walked to the chair and sat down.

Lost in thought.

I have to admit that if Hirakawa Tetsufumi was in school, he would definitely like teachers like Ogasa Suzukiko. She is cute and soft, and seems to have a good temper and never gets angry.

A teacher with this kind of personality is very easy to get along with students. From a student's perspective, there shouldn't be anyone who doesn't like such a teacher, right?

However, after Tetsufumi Hirakawa became a teacher himself, he finally realized...Teachers with this kind of personality can indeed easily win the favor of students and bring them closer to them.

However, as a teacher, when facing a group of students, the closer you are to them, the better. Sometimes you need to take a step back and put yourself in the position of a "teacher" rather than a "friend".

But Ogasa Suzukiko, with her personality, seems unable to do this...

——The dividing line of the performance——

"Everyone - stop! Shiraishi-san, can you play the 6th measure for me alone?"

"Oh...don't do that?"

"it does not matter."

“But I’m shy.”

"Um...come on?"

"Oh wow, I feel motivated all of a sudden with the encouragement from Mr. Ogasa."

"So……"

"Well, just one more cheer will do."

"Okay, Shiraishi-san, come on."

"Well, okay, I'll come then."
