I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

However, I do need to correct one thing: there is no need to worry about him being picked to recite the text, as he no longer has that opportunity.

After finishing the school festival, Amamiya Yoru, and Shinohara Shiori matters, he resigned. These are the last two days.

And everything about Amemiya Ye has been prepared quite thoroughly, and it can be carried out when the campus opens this afternoon and Mrs. Amemiya comes in.

Shinohara Shiori's words...

Thinking back to the conversation we had on the way home from school yesterday afternoon...

this……

He sighed heavily, then looked at the office in front of him and put away the negative emotion.

He walked into the office.

"Good morning, Mr. Hisada."

At today's school festival, it was rare to see a teacher who usually worked diligently, now sitting idly in his seat, staring blankly at the teacup on the table that must have just been poured and was still emitting white steam.

"...Teacher Hirakawa, you're here?"

Several seconds after the greeting, Hisada Masaki belatedly moved her attention away from the surface of the teacup and looked at Hirakawa Tetsufumi who was sitting there.

"Yeah, we're here. What is Hisata-sensei doing? Staring blankly?"

"Yeah, nothing to do for now."

"Well, have you decided what to do today? On the way here, the students in your class invited me to visit their haunted house."

As he said this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa started laughing.

"And he specifically invited me to visit with you."

"..."

Hisada Masu scratched the ends of her hair in some distress.

"Well... yesterday, some people started to make a fuss, saying that I should come with Mr. Hirakawa..."

"Hey, is that so?"

"Well... these students are really getting bolder and bolder."

“I think it’s a good suggestion.”

"..."

Hisada Masu did not refute.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa laughed.

"Then let's go and have a look together when it opens this afternoon?"

"……Um."

After a little hesitation, he agreed.

……

The preparation time reserved in the morning passed quickly and the students completed the final preparations.

Various decorations were put up on the campus, and activities organized by various classes and clubs officially began.

So, around noon, Moriya was officially opened.

Parents of students, nearby residents, people who came to join in the fun, people of all kinds of identities became tourists, entered the forest valley, and became part of the lively atmosphere of the school festival.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Masaki Hisada also joined in.

"Shall we go to the haunted house first?"

In the crowded aisle, Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Moki Hisada were huddled together, shoulders touching.

In his other hand, he held the "Moriya School Festival Tour Guide" distributed by the Moriya School Festival Executive Committee and flipped through it with one hand.

"That's fine. If Mr. Pingchuan wants to go, I'll go with you."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped flipping through the books and looked at Hisata beside him.

"What's the matter?" asked Hisada Masu.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa gave a thumbs up.

"If you want to go, come with me. It's so exciting to hear this."

"...Yes, yes." Hisada Maki responded helplessly, "Let's go."

"Well, let's go - but seriously, there was something very gentle about Mr. Hisada saying this."

"This kind of thing...hasn't been known for a long time?"

Perhaps it was the influence of the lively atmosphere around her, or perhaps it was because these were the last two days for Tetsufumi Hirakawa, so Hisada Masaki seemed much bolder than usual.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi glanced at the slightly red profile of Hisada Masuki, then lowered his head and looked at the hand that seemed to be impatiently grabbing his left wrist and pulling him away because he was talking too much.

With the warm body temperature of this female teacher.

"Teacher Hisata."

"...Don't tell me."

"Oh."

It seems that he is still somewhat shy.

……

When I walked to the haunted house project of Class 2B, the female teacher next to me let go of my hand.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa grabbed his right wrist, which was still warm, with his other hand, feeling quite regretful.

"Teacher Hisada, Teacher Hirakawa, you are here!"

The high school girl named Tsukumura, who was standing at the front desk at the entrance of Class B, waved and greeted them when she saw the two of them.

"Yes, Tsukumura-san." Hisada Masaki greeted warmly, but she seemed to be deliberately ignoring Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

It's understandable. After all, he was just instigated by the students and then brought the gossip object here.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa put down his hand and also greeted.

"Tsukumura-san, I'm here with Mr. Hisada as invited."

"..."

"..."

Shucun smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Hisada Moki nudged him lightly with her shoulder without leaving any trace.

"…What do you mean you brought me here? I am the head teacher of this class."

"That's right. Let's start again - Tsukumura-san, I was brought here by Hisata-sensei at his invitation."

"..."

After all, he was not the Reiko Tsurumi who was good at stirring up trouble. Facing the two teachers, Tsukumura still seemed a little restrained.

Not knowing how to deal with it, she ignored Hirakawa Tetsufumi's slightly funny words and performed her job.

That is the front desk of the haunted house.

"Um, Mr. Hisada, Mr. Hirakawa, there are still people in the haunted house. If you want to go in and take a look, you have to wait a moment."

"It's okay, don't worry."

"besides……"

Shucun's voice lowered a little, somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh, the ticket is 200 yen per person, right? Here." Without waiting for Shucun to speak, Tetsufumi Hirakawa threw the coins he had prepared into the paper box in Shucun's hand.

"Thank you."

Shucun breathed a sigh of relief.

As a student, I always feel embarrassed to collect admission fees from teachers.

"Teacher Hirakawa is very attentive." Hisada Maki beside him glanced at him.

"Of course." Hirakawa Tetsufumi gave a look back that was not at all modest.

……

Amid the occasional screams and ghost noises coming out of the haunted house, the previous girl who had experienced the haunted house walked out from the back door with a pale face.

"Mr. Hisata, Mr. Hirakawa, please come in."

Seeing the back door of the classroom was opened, Shucun opened the front door and made room.

"Okay. Let's go, Hisata-sensei."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi nodded, glanced at Hisada Masuki, gestured, and walked in first.

"Um……"

Hisada Masaki glanced at the girl who walked out of the back door with some worry, and followed Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

The two walked into the haunted house, and Shucun closed the door considerately.

"crunch-"

There was a harsh sound of the door closing, and everything in front of me fell into darkness.

"Teacher Hisada, are you scared?"

At the starting point of the haunted house, with eerie background music gradually ringing in his ears and his eyes not yet adjusted to the darkness, Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced in the direction of Hisata.

“…It’s fine.”

There was a hint of forcedness in Hisada Masaki's voice.

I didn't expect that the teacher was afraid of this.

"If you're scared, it's okay to hold my hand."

"..."

Chapter 243: School Festival before Resignation (Part )

Although she was a little worried before coming in, soon, Hisada Moki didn't feel that scared anymore.

After all, it is a haunted house made by students and cannot compare with professional ones.

Plus, there was someone around who kept saying things like, "Hold my hand if you're scared," and the atmosphere of the haunted house was gone in an instant.

Moreover, in fact, think about these decorations, many of them were made by her students, ghosts... For example, the ghost with blood on his face that suddenly appeared from the corner was also played by her students.

In this way, from a teacher's perspective, everything around me has a more intimate feel.

Hisada Masaki blinked and looked at the ghost in front of her. Although her vision was not very good, she could clearly tell from the voice that it was Tsurumi Reiko.

"Hello……"

The weird background music, the ethereal voice, the dried blood... and the sudden sense of horror might really scare people if they are caught off guard.

Too bad it didn't scare either of them.

Hisada Maki listened to the student's voice and even hesitated whether to say "Hello" in reply -

Tetsufumi Hirakawa carried out his idea without any hesitation.

"Hello, Tsurumi-san."

He extended his hand and waved in greeting.

"Myself and Mr. Hisada are here."

"..."

After the greetings, in the dim light of his vision, he saw Tsurumi Reiko staring at him with seeming dissatisfaction.

It's embarrassing for a ghost not to scare anyone, and it's even more embarrassing when the other party greets you in a friendly manner.
