I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"Therefore, the next thing we need to consider is how Amamiya-san should explain this to your mother."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa introduced the current situation to Amamiya Yo.

Amamiya Ye listened very carefully and stopped rubbing Michael's hands.

"Well, then, this body... well, then, how should I tell my mother about my secret body?"

"About this... Even though I expected him to say that directly to me, it was still too sudden."

"That?"

"Try a more indirect approach."

"..." Amamiya Ye blinked and waited.

She saw Teacher Hirakawa across from her stand up and take a stack of documents that had been placed on the coffee table next to her - she only noticed it now because her attention was on Teacher Hirakawa and Michael.

"This is……?"

"The script," said Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"..."

script?

what?

Amemiya Ye took it blankly, then opened it, leaned his elbow on Michael's soft body, and read it curiously.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat down again and waited quietly.

The sound of pages turning could be heard from time to time in the living room.

It was not until the crashing sound completely stopped that Amamiya Ye raised his head, with a look of confusion in his eyes, as if he had not fully understood the situation.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa explained to her with a gentle smile.

"Since you can't express it in person, let's go in another direction."

“I think it’s a good idea to cleverly incorporate Amemiya’s feelings into the work, film it, show it, and then convey it to Amemiya’s mother.”

"The movie will be shown at the school festival in Moriya. Amamiya-san's mother will be there then."

"After she watched the film taken by Amamiya-san with great anticipation, she then..."

"Although she was a little confused, she would naturally think it was just an act."

"In this case, after further building up her psychological expectations, I then told her the real situation."

"Show her the real Amamiya-san, the Amamiya-san she doesn't know."

"If that's the case, I think Amamiya-san's mother would be more accepting, right?"

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi finished his explanation and the living room fell silent again.

Amemiya Ye held the script and blinked blankly.

After a long time.

"Amamiya-san, do you understand?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked.

"..." Amemiya Ye was still a little hesitant, but still nodded.

"Well, that's settled then."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled.

"Don't worry, the teacher will solve it with you, because it is something we promised."

"……Um."

Just like that, the next plan was decided, and we just had to execute it without any mistakes.

Resolve Amamiya Yoru's issue, accompany the wind band into the national competition, and then finish the tasks in class.

That was all he had to say about his last years as a teacher.

The biggest problem originally, how to explain it to Hisata, was also solved a few days ago.

She is indeed a gentle female teacher.

Get everything done and wait to resign with peace of mind.

Chapter 230 Crisis

During the last time of Tetsufumi Hirakawa - well... it seems ambiguous to say this, it should be said that during his last time teaching, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner as planned.

Daily teaching work, administrative tasks as a class teacher, and matters related to the wind orchestra.

There are daily practices, road shows in front of Tokyo Station, and plans for a training camp before the Tokyo branch competition.

Time passed as the atmosphere in the wind band became increasingly tense.

The Tokyo branch district competition arrived at the end of September, half a month after the sports festival ended.

turn out--

Moritani successfully won one of the three qualifying spots in the Tokyo region and advanced to the national competition.

It's a pleasing result, but not too surprising.

After all, compared to last year, Moriya has made considerable progress in his playing skills after gradually overcoming various shortcomings over the past six months.

We were able to get in last year, so this year it won’t be a problem either.

As expected.

Just like that, in the joy after the Tokyo branch competition, the wind band quickly started a new round of practice.

There is less than a month left until the national competition on October 10.

At the same time, other things, such as Moritani's school festival, began to be prepared.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi is still the responsible teacher, but like a sports festival, he doesn't have many things to do, and most of the things are handled by the executive committee composed of students.

——Maybe he will only have something to do when an accident occurs and someone is held accountable.

So it’s better to have some free time.

Then, the students in his class also voted to choose the project for Class A at the school festival - an ordinary fried noodle restaurant.

And I heard from Teacher Hisada that their class's project is a haunted house... I don't know why a group of girls would be interested in this.

Regardless, the Moritani School Festival has entered the preparation stage.

In addition, the micro-film promised to Amamiya Yoru that will convey the real her to her mother is about to complete the preliminary preparations -

Preparation refers to Tetsufumi Hirakawa teaching himself photography skills.

Ok……

There is no way, it's really a special situation, because the script was tailor-made for Amamiya Yori by Tetsufumi Hirakawa, and Amamiya Yori's role can be divided into the "present body" - Amamiya Yori in the eyes of others, and the "hidden body" - Amamiya Yori when she is alone.

And this middle school girl can only show the real her in front of him.

Therefore, when it came to the scenes involving Amemiya Yoru's "secret body", the filming work had to be left to him.

Fortunately, thanks to my excellent memory, I can remember books like "How to Become an Excellent Photographer? Learn in 15 Days!" and " Techniques for Filming" as long as I read them carefully a few times.

Although it is still a little difficult to use flexibly... But it doesn't matter. After all, it is just a homemade movie made by high school students to be shown at the school festival. The ticket price is a cheap 200 yen, which is enough for this level.

Of course, the movie doesn’t only feature Amamiya Yoru, but also supporting roles and extras. Under the name of the school festival - and with Hirakawa Tetsufumi being the teacher in charge - he was able to attract many students who were interested in making movies.

As for all the expenses during the filming of the movie... they will be taken care of by Amamiya Yoru.

In this way, with the interweaving of various things, including teaching, Moritani Festival, wind orchestra, and filming, Tetsufumi Hirakawa spent what can be said to be the busiest period of his teaching career.

even……

In late October, the temperature in Tokyo at this time has already entered autumn.

During this ordinary weekend, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was watching various teaching videos and doing preliminary editing on his computer in his study, heard the doorbell ring.

"..."

Tiredly rubbing his eyes and shoulders, which were a little sore from staring at the computer screen for a long time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stood up and walked downstairs.

The person who came was naturally Amamiya Ye again.

"Good afternoon, Amamiya-san."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi's voice was a little hoarse when he greeted.

"... Mr. Hirakawa?"

Amemiya Ye, who had put away her umbrella, immediately heard something unusual. She tilted her head and looked carefully at Hirakawa Tetsufumi who appeared behind the door.

The temperature in late October dropped a bit, and the teacher was wearing a gray knitted sweater.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that you can see that there is some fatigue in his eyes and on his face that cannot be concealed, and he even looks a little weak.

Yu Gongye stood in front of the door, looking around hesitantly.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Amemiya Ye standing there, Hirakawa Tetsufumi couldn't help but ask, his voice still hoarse when he spoke.

"...Mr. Hirakawa, are you... sick?" Yu Gongye guessed uncertainly.

"Ah... this." Hirakawa Tetsufumi responded to Amemiya Ye's question. He sniffed and smiled, "I have a cold. It's okay, it's a small matter. Amemiya-san, come in first."

Then, with the sound of the door closing with a slight "bang" after Amemiya Yoru came in, Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked into the kitchen and explained casually.

"Yesterday morning, I went to an open-air road show with the wind band. In the afternoon, I went to shoot with Amamiya-san. Then, in the evening, when I was editing in the study, I accidentally fell asleep due to exhaustion. I was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night. I found out I had a cold this morning."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa poured two cups of hot water and walked out.

"That's right. After all, the temperature has dropped in autumn. Amamiya-san should remember to be careful not to catch a cold. Here."

"...Thank you, Mr. Hirakawa." Amemiya Ye took the warm cup of water from Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

Then, when she sat down, she stared at him, with worry and some self-blame on her little face.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi took a sip of water and sat down. After swallowing it, he smiled lightly, expressing that he was fine.

"It's okay, it's just a cold, nothing serious - by the way, let's not talk about this anymore."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa changed the subject.

"Let's talk about the movie."

"..." Amemiya Ye seemed to disagree and wanted to say something, but under the serious gaze of Hirakawa Tetsufumi, she had to pout and give up.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi withdrew his gaze and spoke with satisfaction.

"First of all, after more than half a month of filming, the scene where Yu Gong was alone was completely finished yesterday."

"As for the small amount of filming that still needs to be done at school, it should be finished by next week."

"From this perspective, the filming schedule is on track, which is pretty good."

Having said that, Tetsufumi Hirakawa took a sip of water to moisten his throat which was a little dry due to a cold.

Then he continued to report on the progress of the film.

"As for the editing work, the teacher has also started it. I taught myself a little bit and it doesn't seem that difficult."

"I tried it today. Although I was a little awkward at the beginning, I feel like I have gotten the hang of it just now."

"The school festival is scheduled for November 11th and 6th, which is nearly three weeks away. It should be no problem to finish editing before then, so don't worry."

"And the rough cut should be available by the end of this month. Then Amamiya-san will be able to see the movie starring you."

"..."

As Tetsufumi Hirakawa spoke slowly and slightly hoarsely, the living room here took on an indescribable hazy color.

what is it then?

Amemiya Ye didn't know either, but at this moment, when she heard the voice in her ear, she definitely sensed it.

——In fact, this is not the first time I have felt this.

She had been keenly aware of this during previous shoots.
