I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Hisada Maki, a young and beautiful female teacher, has given him a lot of help since he first started working at Moritani.

Afterwards, the two of them got along with each other in an ordinary and peaceful manner. Everything went smoothly and naturally, just like a natural outcome. The love between them was revealed in their simple daily life.

From greeting each other after meeting every morning, chatting in spare time, to a relationship close enough to visit each other at home and celebrate each other's birthdays.

She made lunch boxes for him, and on the eve of his birthday, in order to send her blessings as soon as possible, she called him until late at night. She even fell asleep accidentally because of talking so late, and hung up the phone only after waking up the next morning and saying good morning.

The surprise on my birthday was also very memorable. I held the cake in my hands, and the firelight flickered in the night wind, and my cheeks were illuminated...

The scene of that day has become a memory that will never be forgotten.

Later, after he broke the promise, the gentle teacher still tolerated his willfulness and went directly from Tokyo to Kyoto to meet him and celebrate her birthday together.

And when he said he wanted to resign, she expressed her understanding considerately and even comforted him.

How could I not like such a gentle and beautiful teacher?

——The answer to this question is: No.

The only exception is the great teacher Hisada. No one can face her gentleness without falling for it.

Anyway, Tetsufumi Hirakawa has already fallen into it.

and so……

"Moshu."

The slightly unfamiliar name that was quietly brewing suddenly sounded and was spoken.

"..."

Hisada Masu's eyes dropped.

After a moment's silence, the young teacher spoke in a small and slightly shy voice.

"...Sure enough, it sounds a bit strange."

"You'll get used to it eventually, but... now it's your turn."

"Eh...does it have to be now?"

"Well, I said it all, right?"

"..."

Also after a period of quiet brewing.

"...Zhewen?"

In a soft, cute, tentative voice rising in an upward tone, Hisada Maki finally uttered the name.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but smile.

……

After taking the first step successfully, the two people who had been talking for a long time finally remembered——

"Oh, right, um - we've been standing here for a long time, shall we go in first?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi said while trying to hold back his laughter.

"……Um."

It seemed that Hisada Masu was still immersed in the change of address as she had not yet calmed down. She nodded slightly and responded.

Then there were the sounds of quiet footsteps, and two people walked towards the living room, one after the other.

——Until Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat down on the sofa first.

"..."

"..."

He stared at Hisada Masuki who was standing right in front of him.

Hisada Masuki blinked.

After a long time, he seemed to finally understand something, and his eyes couldn't help but drift away.

"This... Mr. Hirakawa..."

"Huh?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa reminded.

“…Zhewen.”

"Yeah." Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded with satisfaction.

The two people who had such tacit understanding knew what to do next just by exchanging glances.

Although Hisada Masaki was not used to it and was very shy, she finally walked towards Hirakawa Tetsufumi with her head down.

Then, she sat down next to him, right next to him.

Although, for both of them, they had been so close before.

But it is obvious that at this moment today, in Tetsufumi Hirakawa's home, sitting next to him obviously has a more special meaning.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa felt his side, shoulder touching shoulder.

In this closed space, the ambiguous atmosphere has already lingered at the tip of the nose——

I sniffed it gently and it was the fragrance coming from Hisata.

"Hisaida..."

"Ok?"

"..."

This time it was he who was reminded.

Sure enough, I’m still not used to it.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled and changed his words.

"Okay, Moshu."

"Yeah." Hisata Mosu responded softly.

"I like you."

"..."

"..."

At the sudden confession, Hisada Masaki turned her head away, not daring to look at Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

"This... is too sudden..."

"How sudden is that?"

"I just said it out loud..."

"Anyway, I've said it before, I already knew it."

"..."

That's true. The relationship between the two had been known for a long time - even the teacher next to her had mentioned it more than once.

Now the atmosphere is right and I have already guessed it in my heart.

but--

“It’s different.”

The current occasion is... a so-called confession, right?

No matter how well I understand it, even if I have rehearsed it in my mind long ago, I still feel embarrassed when the moment really comes.

"I like you."

——Seeing that she was shy, he did it again.

"like very much."

"It's been delayed for a long time, so I can't wait to say it."

"..."

Hisada Masu mustered up her courage and turned back.

His eyes were sincere, his emotions were passionate, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, a gentle, reassuring smile.

"Moshu, I like you, the teacher who is always gentle and by my side."

"I have understood your feelings for a long time. I have said it a long time ago. Now, I will say it to you again."

"I like you, very much, very much."

"I want to hear your answer."

"May I?"

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's upper body moved slightly forward and closer.

The teacher's young and beautiful face was right before my eyes.

The oval face, gentle lines, beautiful facial features and a little light makeup highlight the charm of this working teacher.

Her cheeks flushed red and her eyes wandered, not knowing where to look.

But...

There is nowhere to escape.

It's already this time.

After her eyes wandered for a long time, Hisada Mashu finally understood this truth.

She tried to restrain herself, exhaled a breath with a sweet scent, and her eyes finally stopped avoiding him.

"plain……"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at her with a smile.

"..."

As expected, I made a mistake in my nervousness and blurted out this name.

"Zhewen." He changed his words.

"I……"

The ending sound is long, reflecting shyness and entanglement.

But... there will be a way out.

"I like you."

In this autumn day of November, the wind was blowing clear and bright, and in the living room of Hirakawa Tetsufumi's house, he finally heard what Hisata Masaki was thinking.

Even though I already knew it, but...

"I've been waiting for this sentence for a long time."

"Is that so?" Hisata Masu's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Well, this is the first time you've said that."

"…Because I'm not as frivolous as Mr. Hirakawa."

"Ok?"

"...Zhewen." Hisada Masu lowered her head cutely and changed her words.

"Can you say that again?"

"...No, it's too embarrassing."

"Is it really not possible?"

"No, just once will do."

"Then I'll say - I like you. Mr. Hisada, Moki, did you hear me? I like you."
