I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

This was unexpected and it took her a long time to react - she thought she didn't see Amamiya Ye when she looked around just now, and it was also because of this strange outfit.

"Amamiya-san?"

Shinohara Shiori looked at the figure in front of her, her slightly raised tone and confusion in her eyes revealed her doubts.

"It is this body." The exquisite doll confirmed her statement.

"..."

Shinohara Shiori thinks that Amamiya Yo is a little abnormal.

At least at this moment, she did not conform to her usual understanding of Amemiya Ye.

……

With this puzzled feeling, I sat down in an empty seat in the coffee shop with the puzzled Amemiya Yo.

Even after sitting down, Shinohara Shiori was still looking at her.

"What's the matter?" Amamiya Ye responded to her doubts using a too formal way of speaking.

After looking her up and down, Shinohara Shiori's gaze refocused on Amamiya Yo's face.

"Instead of asking me what's going on, Amamiya-san, why don't you explain yourself? What are you planning to do by calling me out today?"

"I asked Shinohara-san to come here to explain the matter of Mr. Hirakawa."

"Then your outfit, and..."

This is a strange way of referring to oneself. I seem to have heard Amemiya Ye use it before.

"This matter is not the focus of today's discussion." There was a serious expression on Amamiya Ye's little face, and he did not intend to explain this matter in too much detail.

"Ok."

Miss Shinohara quickly lost interest in asking further questions.

If you are willing to explain, then explain. If you don’t want to, then forget it. In the first place, she was not willing to come out and have a meaningless conversation with Amamiya Ye today.

"In that case, let's get down to business." Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Amemiya Ye's expression became even more serious.

"Ah."

Shinohara Shiori nodded expressionlessly.

"I have invited Mr. Shinohara today to ask you something."

With Shinohara Shiori's silent consent, Amamiya Yo asked the question.

The question is quite...bold.

"Shinohara-san, did you confess your feelings to Mr. Hirakawa during the summer vacation?"

"..."

Shinohara Shiori stared at Amamiya Yo without any fluctuation.

However, Amamiya Ye met her gaze without retreating, and the meaning was very clear -

If she didn't answer her, she would continue to ask questions relentlessly.

“…So what?”

"Okay, I know."

Amamiya Ye responded without surprise.

"So, what was the specific process like? And what was the final result? What was Mr. Hirakawa's reaction?"

The three consecutive questions made Shinohara Shiori silent and her face looked a little ugly.

She took a breath with a cold face, but...

Before she could even open her mouth, Amamiya Ye on the opposite side interrupted her.

"Shinohara-san, you don't have to tell me, but if these things are not clarified, I will never leave easily."

"..."

"Before, I missed the best opportunity to understand the truth because of my hesitation. Now, I will never do that again."

"..."

Shinohara Shiori stared at Amamiya Ye for a long time.

Throughout, she never backed down for a moment, showing her determination.

She means it.

Shinohara Shiori, who came to this conclusion after glancing at Amemiya Yoru's face, now really had a headache.

It was not until I pondered for a long time that I finally figured things out.

——Anyway, it has nothing to do with her.

She raised her thoughtful head and looked at Amamiya Ye, and spoke in a slightly cold voice as if entering early winter.

"Amamiya-san, I don't care what you want to do. I've finished asking you about today's matters. After that, I won't care about anything else."

Amamiya Ye answered without hesitation: "I promise you this."

It seems that she really wants to know everything about the summer vacation.

……

Time for a little wording.

"Yes, I confessed to Mr. Hirakawa when summer vacation was approaching."

Shinohara Shiori spoke, her tone flat and even, as if she were an unrelated bystander or third party, and told the story of what happened between her and the teacher during that summer vacation.

Amamiya Ye listened very carefully.

"At first, right after the summer vacation, I spent a lot of time with Mr. Hirakawa because of the wind band practice."

"During the time we spent together, I kept getting closer, wanting to convey my feelings."

"But it was obvious that he, who always maintained his position as a teacher, had no intention of accepting it, and did not waver at all. He kept distancing himself from me as I moved forward."

"He rejected me pretty firmly."

"But I didn't give up because of the rejection, and I kept trying to narrow the distance between us."

“The turning point came in this situation.”

Shinohara Shiori paused here and thought for a moment.

It has been more than two months since the summer vacation.

After the recollection, he continued with a cold tone.

"Something happened, perhaps, that made him truly realize my feelings."

"So, after he came to his senses, he rejected me with the most resolute and unconditional rejection I had ever received."

"After that rejection, I thought it might be the end, but—"

The turning point happened, that dreamy, hot summer festival with fireworks.

"In the final decision as agreed upon, at the summer festival..."

Shinohara Shiori paused here.

"What happened at the summer festival?" Amemiya Ye asked impatiently.

"..."

Shinohara Shiori looked at Amamiya Yo, then nodded, using a very calm tone as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

"I kissed Mr. Hirakawa."

"..." Amemiya Ye blinked.

"Then……"

"Wait!" Shinohara Shiori was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Amamiya Yoru who looked shocked after realizing what was going on. "What did you say?"

Shinohara Shiori glanced at it casually and repeated: "Kissing."

"what?"

"kiss."

"Say it again?"

"kiss."

"Kiss...kiss?!"

Shinohara Shiori lost all patience, her eyes like ice knives: "If Amamiya-san has hearing problems, I suggest you go see a doctor instead of asking questions over and over again."

"..."

Amamiya Ye closed her mouth.

Shinohara Shiori withdrew her gaze and continued speaking.

“Then, things changed.”

"According to Mr. Hirakawa, he entered a dream, forgot everything, and chose to be with me."

"..." Yu Gongye opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but...

Shinohara Shiori glanced at her coldly, and then fell silent.

"Over the next few days... we became a couple and stayed together all the time."

Thinking back on this passage, Shinohara Shiori, whose expression had remained unchanged from the beginning until now, finally showed some fluctuation in her eyes.

——But that’s all.

After an imperceptible pause, the story continues and the dream ends.

"Then, Mr. Hirakawa, who had just told me that he would never leave me, suddenly thought... it was time to wake up from the dream."

“And so it all came to an end.”

"I don't know where he went. He disappeared for several days and all contact information was lost."

"When the summer vacation was almost over and there were only a few days left before the national competition, he suddenly came back just as he had disappeared."

"And that's it. After the national competition, I officially proposed the end to Mr. Hirakawa."

"That's it. That's it."

"..."

The story of Shiori Shinohara is over.

Amamiya Yo, who was listening attentively with a serious expression, changed her expression when she heard Shinohara Shiori and her Hirakawa kissing...

It's hard to describe.

Although I have made some guesses about confession, this is too...

Actually, actually... these things happened?

Are they really together?

Amamiya Ye didn't want to believe this was true.

But Shinohara Shiori didn't care whether she believed it or not, and before she could come to her senses.

"That's it. I'm leaving now. What happens next has nothing to do with me."

Shinohara Shiori spoke calmly and stood up.

"Wait." Seeing that she was about to leave, Yu Gongye had to put aside his chaotic thoughts for the time being, "I will ask one last question."

“……” Shinohara Shiori stood there and looked at her.

"So, is Mr. Pingchuan's resignation due to this incident?"

"Maybe."

"…Then, then, have you ever considered trying to keep me?"

"..."
