I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

He is the instructor of the wind ensemble.

It’s true that he was lazy and didn’t go to the wind orchestra last year...but that was only because he had just joined this high school and he thought he knew nothing about music, so there was nothing to guide him.

So I never watched a proper practice.

But now…since we already know that there might be a problem with the wind orchestra, we can no longer turn a blind eye to it.

The responsibilities of a tutor must be exercised to some extent.

Oh, but speaking of this.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at Shinohara Shiori suspiciously.

The young lady was stunned by the look and asked, "Teacher Pingchuan, what's wrong?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought for a moment and said.

"Shinohara-san, you should know this, right?"

"what do you know?"

"As the instructor of the wind band, if I know there may be problems with the band, I will definitely take responsibility."

He said this with a clear conscience. Tetsufumi Hirakawa was sure that he was such a person.

And Shinohara Shiori looked at him several times.

“Teacher Hirakawa is such a person.”

Right, Miss Shinohara certified.

"So... there is no need for any 'conditions'. Teachers will naturally shoulder their responsibilities."

"..."

After saying this, Tetsuo Hirakawa saw Shinohara Shiori's face stiffen for a moment. The smart girl probably guessed what he was going to say.

"In other words, as for what Shinohara-san promised to do to help the teacher deal with Amamiya-san, the teacher will go to the orchestra on his own initiative without having to offer this as a condition for exchange."

This girl also said something like "Shiori is willing to assist Mr. Hirakawa for the sake of the wind orchestra" this morning, and "In exchange, the teacher should stop being lazy in the future."

As a result...he just admitted it. She knew that even if he didn't agree to this, as a teacher he would not turn a blind eye to the wind orchestra.

So what Shinohara Shiori said are just excuses.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the girl beside him with great interest, watching the sunset light shining on her profile, turning it crimson.

Shinohara-san, you are not very frank.

It's obviously a normal thing, so all she needs to do is say, "Because Mr. Hirakawa has helped me, Shiori is willing to help Mr. Hirakawa."

But they had to say "for the wind band."

Tsk.

In this way, in the sight of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, the glow of the sunset became increasingly hazy as time passed.

Until you reach the school gate.

"Teacher Pingchuan, I'm leaving first."

Shinohara Shiori left this sentence and hurriedly left him alone.

By the way, the sunset is really red.

It’s crimson and looks very nice.

Chapter 34 About Hirakawa Tetsufumi's previous life

When Hirakawa Tetsufumi arrived home, the sunset had completely disappeared into the horizon. Under the gray-blue sky, the lights gradually lit up, and the time transitioned from evening to night.

After a tiring day, he finally got home. For Tetsufumi Hirakawa, the happiest moment of the day is when he arrives at his doorstep.

Full of anticipation and longing, I just want to walk into the house quickly and have a good rest. It can be said that the moment the key is inserted into the door lock, the spiritual enjoyment reaches its peak.

So he opened the door and walked in with great expectations, and then.

"Meow--"

In the dark silence of the night, such a cat's cry suddenly sounded in his ears, catching him off guard, and his hand holding the door handle trembled.

His eyes quickly swept over and saw two points of light moving rapidly towards him in the air.

His body quickly tensed up.

"..."

Then relax in an instant.

He has a cat at home now.

Recalling this fact, Hirakawa Tetsufumi paused awkwardly, then turned around and silently closed the door. To be honest, he was really scared the moment he walked in the door.

He breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the light in the entrance hall.

Under the bright light, the white cat appeared, trotting towards him, and squatting on the entrance steps looking at him.

The pose is very similar to an emoticon package that Tetsufumi Hirakawa has seen: [Your little cutie suddenly appears.gif]

"..."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa helplessly stared at the cat for several times in silence. He was a little overwhelmed by such a warm welcome.

After all, I have lived alone for a long time. I have lived alone since I came to Tokyo to study in high school. It has been 8 years now, right? It is quite a long time.

Now that there is suddenly a little creature in the house, it is normal not to react for a while.

What's more, humans will instinctively relax the moment they open the door and return to the safety of their home - this little piece of knowledge was learned by Tetsufumi Hirakawa from a novel about a killer.

It is a very practical assassination technique.

It’s just that it’s not recommended to imitate, or you’ll be caught.

But that doesn't mean this knowledge is useless. It can also be used for pranks - put a basin of water or flour on top of the door, etc.

Ok.

In just a few seconds, a lot of things flashed through my mind.

There is no way. What is essential for a teacher is the unstoppable ability to associate and express.

Okay, stop and get back to the point -

To sum up, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was not frightened because he was timid, but simply because of the inertia of living alone and the human instinct to return home.

Having reached this conclusion, he glanced at the cat, and the cat meowed softly at him.

There was no need to be angry with the cat, so Tetsufumi Hirakawa changed his shoes, didn't look at it, walked to the entrance and entered the living room.

Then I turned on the lights in the living room, and ample light filled every corner of the room.

Compared to the darkness outside, the warm and bright living room can provide humans with a sense of physiological satisfaction.

This is also an instinct in human genes, originating from the yearning for light and fear of darkness in primitive times.

At least Tetsufumi Hirakawa inherited this well. He threw the briefcase in his hand with satisfaction, and then threw himself on the sofa.

At times like this, you should not think about anything, empty your mind, and savor the rare quietness.

That’s what Tetsufumi Hirakawa did.

However, after only a few seconds of being absent-minded, before his thoughts could wander far, he felt his stomach sink.

Something warm sat on his belly.

I opened my eyes and saw amber gemstone-like eyes with vertical pupils, a very cute white round head and pointed ears.

"Meow~"

Like the sound of a cat acting coquettishly.

"..."

At least for now, his eight-year habit of living alone may need to be temporarily changed.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa reached out and rubbed its head, and it rubbed against it intimately.

As expected, he is the one with the highest level of cat-friendliness.

Also, it turns out that he has been in Tokyo for 8 years?

Time flies.

I came to Tokyo to study 8 years ago, and after graduating from high school, I was recommended to the Department of Literature of the University of Tokyo with excellent grades. And 4 years after graduation - actually last year - because of the "inertia of the soul", I chose to become a teacher again.

As for why he, at the age of only 22, was able to teach at the prestigious private Moriya High School...

First, he ranked first in the written test. Second, he ranked first in the interview.

The interviewer at that time commented on him as follows:

“It has the energy of a young teacher, but also the experience of a teacher who has been teaching for many years.”

"You can't look down on them just because of their age."

The reviews are surprisingly high.

Anyway, that's how I got in.

Recalling the interview scene, Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but smile.

It is always a pleasure to be recognized, and this cannot be avoided no matter how old you are - and besides, he is not that old.

In his previous life, he died young and didn't even have a girlfriend. I won't mention the reason - whether it was the former or the latter - it's a bit sad.

而且心理年龄并非遵循简单的1+1=2的叠加，上一世30岁这一世22岁所以心理年龄等于52岁是完全错误的计算。

Psychological age is closely related to internal hormones, external environment and other factors.

A 22-year-old body, a 22-year-old's hormone levels. In the previous life, because I was a junior high school teacher, I was always surrounded by childish children and my mentality was too young.

As for this life, he grew up normally. Therefore, it can be said that Tetsufumi Hirakawa, in addition to having more experience, is quite young mentally.

Definitely not a 52-year-old middle-aged man.

Also, the number 30 is just an example. Whole numbers are easier to calculate.

In fact, he...

Die earlier.

Ok……

"..."

"..."

"Meow!"

Immersed in sad memories, a cat's meow suddenly sounded in his ears, forcing Tetsufumi Hirakawa to withdraw from these memories.

"What's wrong?"

He watched the white cat in his arms impatiently break away from his touch. And then, no matter how hard he tried to reach out, the white cat would mercilessly slap him away with its claws.

"…Hmm, did I hurt you accidentally?"

After thinking about it for a while, I came to this guess. After all, in sad memories, hands may ignore the importance of things.

"Feel sorry."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sincerely expressed his apologies to the cat, which felt particularly nice to the touch, and prayed to be able to pet it again.

It's a pity that it was cruelly rejected.

It jumped off his body without mercy.

Just like a male customer who, after enjoying a massage, pulls up his pants and turns away.

As he watched the cat walk away, such bad associations emerged in Tetsufumi Hirakawa's mind.
