I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

And this time, I have been working towards this goal since I was a child.

If you think about it, it really makes me emotional.

This kind of consistent persistence is the kind that makes you admire yourself when you see it.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi showed off to Amemiya Yoru like a little kid, with a smug smile on his face, which was not very obvious but was definitely there.

Facing such a Tetsufumi Hirakawa, Amemiya Ye blinked in confusion, staring at the corner of the teacher's mouth, and then at his eyes.

Then, the look of doubt became even more intense.

"Hmm? Amemiya-san. What's wrong?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi noticed her gaze and asked her.

"……nothing."

Faced with such a question, Amemiya Ye shook his head and looked at the photo album on the desktop in a trance.

She felt it again. Although Teacher Pingchuan was clearly showing off, she also felt a sense of indescribable meaning from this teacher.

It’s a strange feeling, I can’t explain it, but I just feel it.

What's going on?

Ok……

Back to the light?

……

It doesn’t seem to be described this way, but it seems similar.

Amemiya Ye seemed a little distressed.

She thought she was right. After all, she and Mr. Hirakawa were bound by a contract. The light of the eternal full moon shone equally on the two of them, so they were connected.

Ok.

There is definitely something wrong.

Amamiya Ye began to ponder and recall.

This strange feeling first started this semester, and then became more and more obvious as time went by.

For example, when she said before that she wanted to resolve the issue between her and her mother, for example, when she came here today and saw that the teacher wanted to pull her aside even though she was sick and explain the next work to her.

He has become a completely different person. The previous Mr. Pingchuan was a procrastinator.

So, this is where the problem lies, right?

Amamiya Ye seemed to have discovered the problem.

Why?

What caused this change?

She raised her head again and looked carefully at the teacher in front of her, whose face looked very tired due to illness, fatigue or other reasons.

"..."

"..."

After a silent eye contact, the atmosphere froze briefly, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi suddenly saw a strange expression on Amemiya Ye's face... um... sadness?

What is this?

"Amemiya-san?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi waved his hand in front of Amemiya Ye inexplicably.

"What... ahem."

As I was talking, my throat suddenly felt itchy after catching a cold, and I couldn't help but cough twice while covering my throat.

After coughing, he saw that the sadness in Yu Gongye's eyes became more obvious.

"?"

Then, as he looked inquiringly, he heard Amemiya Ye speak in a very low voice.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he began to doubt whether he had heard it wrongly.

What she said was—

"Teacher Pingchuan, are you going to die?"

"..."

If it weren't for Amemiya Ye's eyes, which were so sad that they made people feel like they were about to cry, Hirakawa Tetsufumi would definitely knock on her head and ask her what she was imagining.

However, the girl's expression at this moment was so serious that Tetsufumi Hirakawa was at a loss for words.

The girl continued to speak.

The voice became increasingly sad.

"Otherwise, why are you like this now?"

"I felt it before, from the time you said you would fulfill your contract with me, from the time you made the movie with me."

"It was obviously different before, why did it become like this this semester?"

“It seems like everything has become urgent.”

"I'm still sick... Is it an incurable disease? That's why it's like this..."

"..."

"..."

Amid Amamiya Ye's shocking speech, the study room fell into a strange silence.

The look in Amamiya Ye’s eyes that was about to cry, I could finally delete the word “about to” and change it to crying——

That’s right, in the speechless silence of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, he saw that Amemiya Ye’s eyes had turned red.

However, Tetsufumi Hirakawa has not yet recovered from the girl's remarks.

Ok……

Ok……

Ok……

Is he dying?

Has the cold turned into a terminal illness?

Ok?

"..."

Such remarks are really unacceptable for the time being.

It was not until a moment later that, under Amemiya Ye's gaze, Hirakawa Tetsufumi showed an expression of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Amamiya-san, what did you say?"

"Teacher, do you have an incurable disease?"

"No, not at all!" His voice rose several degrees.

There is no such thing.

"Then why..."

"There is no reason..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa explained weakly.

I was about to resign and made changes, and I happened to be sick, so I didn't expect that this kind of misunderstanding would occur.

Hmm... I really don't know what to say.

There is absolutely no problem with the logic...

I'm dying soon, so I'm working hard in the last moments...

Also, because I am dying soon, I am reminiscing about the past with emotion...

It's really speechless and I don't know how to explain it.

Because he didn't plan to tell the students about his resignation now...

Not knowing what to do, Hirakawa Tetsufumi sighed as he faced the chuunibyou girl whose eyes were already red. Her imagination of chuunibyou was indeed top-notch.

"Amamiya-san, first of all, thank you for your concern. Um, teacher, I am in very good health..."

When I said this, I remembered that he was sick, and I had to change the words with some embarrassment.

"Well, it's just a cold anyway, it's not an incurable disease, don't say anything more..."

"Really?" Yu Gongye asked distrustfully.

"Of course it's true."

"Really?"

"Absolutely true."

"Didn't Mr. Hirakawa deceive this body?"

"..."

The red eyes make people feel distressed.

This girl probably did this out of concern for him...

He was really helpless, so in order to convince the girl, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stretched out his hand.

"..."

Amemiya Ye stared at the little finger that Hirakawa Tetsufumi extended.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised his hand hesitantly, also with his little finger extended.

Then, without waiting for the girl to take the initiative, Tetsufumi Hirakawa hooked his little finger with Amemiya Yo's little finger.

"Amamiya-san, please don't worry. Teacher, I don't have any incurable disease. Um... in the name of the contract, I didn't deceive you."

"..."

If you want to convince a middle school girl, you have to use a more middle school approach.

The existence of a contract represents a connection between two people, so there is no deception.

It was probably for this reason that Tetsufumi Hirakawa convinced Yo Amemiya.

"Ah."

When he put down his hands, Amamiya Ye nodded vigorously.

……

……

Today's meeting with Amamiya Yoru ended in a strange way.

After comforting the overthinking girl, she had stayed in his house for quite some time and it was time to leave.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sent Yo Amamiya out of the house.

Then he walked back to the study.

When I saw the three graduation albums on the desk, I thought about the girl's misunderstanding and laughed strangely with mixed feelings.

He shook his head helplessly, walked forward, and took a last look at the column about "Teachers" on the three open photo albums.

He closed the photo album and put it back on the bookshelf next to him.

The editing of the film isn't ready yet, so we have to hurry.

Chapter 233 The Eve of the National Competition

Time is indeed very emotional.

After the incident caused by misunderstanding between him and Amemiya Yoru in the study on Sunday, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had many feelings when he saw the three photo albums.

There is a feeling of sudden realization that makes people feel infinitely moved.
