I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Tsurumi Reiko stared at him for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help but speak in a very unprofessional manner.

"Teacher Hirakawa, I am a ghost now, please respect me a little bit..." After saying this, he turned his gaze to Hisada on the other side, "Teacher Hisada too."

"Eh? Me?" The one mentioned, Hisada Masuki, said in a troubled tone. She hesitated for a moment and said, "But I can't be scared at all."

"why?"

"If I were to ask why... right now I can only think of how Tsurumi-san usually is."

For example, the time when she scolded him for being too active in class - Hisada Maki didn't say this out loud.

It would be too depressing to say it out loud.

"...Teacher Hirakawa, what about you?"

"Me?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi answered calmly, "As a teacher, it would be too embarrassing if I were scared by my students, right?"

This is the dignity of a teacher.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Tsurumi Reiko stuck out her tongue at the two of them, silently retreated from the secret passage in the corner, and made way.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the closed secret passage curiously, and then continued.

"Then keep walking."

"Ah."

……

The tour of this small haunted house set up in the classroom was quickly over.

After meeting Reiko Tsurumi, there are still several ghosts. Unfortunately, when facing these students, they may be "startled" by their sudden appearance, but they will not feel fear at all.

On the contrary, there was a student who saw two people approaching and jumped out to scare them diligently, but after seeing the two people clearly, she realized that they were her teachers. In her nervousness, she subconsciously bowed to them and said "Hello, teacher".

It's a bit laughable.

After saying goodbye to this very polite ghost, I took two more steps and reached the exit.

"You can tell it's his first time playing a ghost, so he's not very relaxed yet."

When he opened the door, Tetsufumi Hirakawa evaluated his students in the tone of a teacher.

"Well...but I still tried my best." The same goes for Hisada Masu.

"Yes, it's actually pretty good. Moreover, the makeup and props are very carefully done."

If it weren't for the natural oppression that teachers have when facing students, I might really be scared.

"Of course, this is a student in my class."

Hisada Moki became so proud.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa found it somewhat amusing.

"Yes Yes."

After responding to this teacher, then.

"Oyano-san."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa greeted the girl standing at the back door when he walked out of the haunted house.

Hisada Masu also looked over, and after seeing clearly, she smiled gently.

"Oyano-san, we're done."

The girl lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

"Hmm... Hmm! Mr. Hisata, Mr. Hirakawa, please take care."

"Okay, the haunted house is pretty good." Tetsufumi Hirakawa encouraged.

“Pretty good.”

Although she was not scared, the class teacher, Hisada Maki, still gave a high evaluation to the students.

"…Thank you, teacher."

……

"Where to go next?"

After visiting the haunted house, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked in the aisle again with Moki Hisada, looking at the people coming and going around them, and the classes that were decorated in various styles.

"I don't know... Um, by the way, Mr. Hirakawa's class is a fried noodle shop, right?"

"Yeah. Wanna go check it out?"

"Ah."

"Let's go, to the stadium."

……

It turns out that when I arrived at school this morning and met classmate Kika in class, she was right when she said "I have practiced for a long time".

It can be seen that he probably spent a lot of time practicing, and his technique of stir-frying noodles seems very skilled.

As for the taste, it’s okay.

Even if there are some minor flaws, since it was made by a high school girl, the problems are not worth mentioning and it has attracted quite a few people.

……

She ate fried noodles made by students with Hisada Maki, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi went to many places with her during the school festival.

For example, during the previous class, there was a game research club that openly advertised in the classroom, and there were indeed quite a few small games there.

Classic hoop, target shooting and the like.

Afterwards, we went to the Moritani auditorium to listen to the performance of the wind orchestra, and also went to the afternoon tea club directed by Hisada Maki to have a cup of afternoon tea.

There are many other activities, such as on-site portrait painting by the Art Department, word puzzle guessing by the Literature Department, and so on.

It was the last school festival before I left. With the company of this teacher, I enjoyed the lively atmosphere and had a great time.

finally--

"It's getting late, Mr. Hisada. I have something else to do, so I'll leave now."

The lazy Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at the still bright sun, then turned his head and spoke to Hisata beside him.

"Well, okay." Hisada Maki's face also turned golden in the golden sunlight. "It's what Mr. Hirakawa has been busy with, right?"

"Yes, that's it."

"Okay, let's go." Hisata Masu turned around and said with a playful smile on her face.

"Yeah." Hirakawa Tetsufumi nodded, "Then I'll leave?"

"Well - why, you can't bear to part with it?"

"You know this kind of thing without having to say it."

Hisada Masuki chuckled.

"What are you reluctant to give up?"

"Of course I can't bear to leave you, Mr. Hisata." Hirakawa Tetsufumi stared into Hisata Masaki's eyes very seriously.

The intoxicating gentle eyes, in the last moments of companionship before leaving - the whole day today, they are shining with moving brilliance.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Hisada Mashu glanced at him, "If that's the case, then... we have plenty of time later."

“……”Hirakawa Tetsufumi blinked.

"What's wrong?" asked Hisada Moki under his quiet gaze.

"No." Hirakawa Tetsufumi shook his head, "I just didn't expect Mr. Hisata to suddenly say something so blunt."

"It's just the truth... You have to get used to it. There's nothing to be surprised about."

Despite saying that, he still felt a little shy and his eyes wandered a little.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled.

"Okay. I'm also looking forward to being with Mr. Hisada later."

"All right, all right. Come on, go do your thing."

It seemed that he was really shy, so Hisada Moki reached out and pushed him.

"I know, I know. I will leave by myself. But in the end——"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa has something else to say.

"What's wrong?" Hisada Moki's pushing force weakened and she looked up at him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa spoke very earnestly.

"Finally, Mr. Hisada——"

"If you have something to say, just say it."

Hisada Masu urged, and then she heard——

"Can you give me a hug?"

"..."

She blinked blankly, staring at the serious expression of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, and then looked around, students, parents of students, in short, all people.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what are you doing?"

Finally, he said it with a little dissatisfaction and shyness in his tone.

"that is……"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi stared at Hisata's face which was slightly lowered due to shyness and explained.

"I want a hug and encouragement from Mr. Hisada."

"encourage……?"

"Yeah, that's right."

There was no trace of joking in Hirakawa Tetsufumi's expression.

"..."

"why?"

"No reason."

"…Can I do it later?"

"I want it now."

Inexplicably serious.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have one, but right now, I really want Mr. Hisada to hug me."

"..."

High autumn sky and bright lights in the stadium.

“Just for a moment…?”

After thinking for a long time and finally making up his mind, Hisata asked in a low voice, not daring to look at Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

"Well, it will be fine in a moment." said Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"..."

Hisada Mashu continued to look around, and her vision was full of people.

but……

She mustered up the courage to look at the male teacher who stopped in front of her.

His eyes were fixed on her with all his heart, with a hint of... gentle pleading?

Maybe it can be described this way.

She responded to the gaze for a long time, and then she seemed to understand something.
