I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

After saying goodbye to Ogasa Sayiko and Matsushita Sōe - the cartoonist whose waka poems Hirakawa Tetsufumi had helped her choose - Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked out of the cafe.

He checked his phone and it was 16:50.

In the winter evening in Tokyo, the sky tends to be orange.

Now, he's going to the studio.

Well... speaking of this, I have to talk about his current situation.

As early as half a month ago, when Ogasa Sayiko learned of his resignation, she contacted him and said that she hoped to discuss some work-related matters with him.

Because he had resigned and rested for too long, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was ready to start looking for a job, agreed.

So the job is:

Matsushita Sōe, the cartoonist who was signed to Ogasa Sayo's company, suddenly wanted to become independent and set up his own studio in order to pursue his dream.

So she asked her editor, Ogasa Sayiko, to help.

Of course, the studio needed people in the early stage of its establishment. Therefore, he, who had previously "cooperated with the studio, had excellent academic qualifications, outstanding abilities, was trustworthy, and happened to be temporarily unemployed", was taken into consideration.

The comment was made by Matsushita Shoei.

At first, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was puzzled as to why Ogasa Sayiko, who was working as a comic editor for a serious company, would leave her job and go to pursue her dream of setting up her own studio with a cartoonist.

But after discussing it face to face, he knew it.

The reason is simple - Panasonic Yanghui, no, she should be called Panasonic's daughter, she is very rich.

After fulfilling the bet with her parents and becoming a well-known cartoonist, her parents finally agreed to her idea of ​​setting up her own studio.

So, under conditions that she could not refuse, Ogasa Sayiko resigned and became independent with Panasonic.

As for Tetsufumi Hirakawa…

Anyway, I didn't know what kind of job I wanted to find for the time being, so with the idea of ​​giving it a try, I became a member of Panasonic Studio.

The work is the main writer.

By the way, the money ability is really powerful... In some aspects, it may be able to achieve the same effect as his superpowers.

Thinking about this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked towards the tram station. At the same time, he raised his mobile phone and called Hisata.

The call was connected after three rings.

"Hey."

"I'm here." A gentle voice that hadn't been heard for a long time came from the receiver.

The moment I heard the voice, my mood unconsciously improved.

"Moshu."

"I'm here...what's the matter?"

"miss you."

"Hey...it's only the second day since you left." The voice became softer, "Although I miss you too..."

"What? I didn't hear you clearly."

"I said, I miss you too..."

"Bad signal."

Hisada Mashu raised her voice: "I said, I miss you - did you hear me?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi nodded with satisfaction while holding the phone: "I heard it now."

"..."

"..."

"Why do I feel like you're lying to me?"

"Hmm? What did I lie to you about?"

"Actually, I heard it, but I pretended not to hear it so that I could repeat it a few more times."

"It's over, we've been discovered." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said in a tone that didn't sound like it was all over at all.

"..." There was silence in the receiver for a moment, and then a helpless voice came out, "Childish."

"I just want to hear my Mo Shu say that she misses me a few more times. What's wrong with that?"

Hisata snorted cutely, "Not fair."

"Okay." Hirakawa Tetsufumi chuckled, "I missed you too, Moki."

"One more time."

"I miss you."

"Not loud enough."

This gentle teacher is very strict at this time.

"This one……"

"what happened?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked around in confusion and said, "To be honest, there are quite a lot of people around me."

"then you--"

"But to prove how much I miss you, it's nothing to be a little embarrassing." Hirakawa Zhewen suddenly turned around.

"..."

"Moshu, I miss you--" This time, his voice was much louder, and several passers-by looked at him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't care.

The best thing about being a teacher is that you can ignore all the attention you get from others, right?

I give lectures under your gaze every day.

"Okay, okay, I got it, it's okay." Hisata on the other end of the phone said quickly.

"okay."

"What are you doing now?"

"Go into the tram station." Tetsufumi Hirakawa swiped his card and entered the station.

"Tram station, where are we going?"

"Go to the studio."

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

The conversation stopped temporarily, and the other party's quiet breathing was heard in the receiver.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked down the stairs and towards the platform.

"Then everything is fine, right?" Hisata suddenly asked.

"Well, nothing else for now. I called to tell you that I miss you."

"...Yes, yes." The teacher responded helplessly. I could imagine the faint smile on the teacher's face. "I will be back to Tokyo tomorrow afternoon."

"Ok."

"See you tomorrow then."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"..."

"..."

"All."

The phone was hung up.

With a smile still on his face, Tetsufumi Hirakawa took one last look at his phone.

【17:00】

Just then, the sound of a train approaching the station was heard in the distance.

He put away his phone and looked forward.

Then--

"Um, classmate, please don't stand so close."

Perhaps it was a teacher's instinct, Hirakawa Tetsufumi reached out and grabbed the arm of a female high school student in front of him, looked at the yellow cordon under her feet, and said.

So, the girl whose arm he was holding turned around.

"..."

"..."

They looked at each other.

"Ye Yue?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at the girl in surprise.

Chapter 262 Farewell, Heading to the Sky

Perhaps, there really is some kind of special fate between him and her... maybe?

Although the two had not met each other many times and had not experienced much, it seemed that there were some special coincidences every time.

When they first met on the rooftop, she thought it was some pervert who broke into the girls' school.

As a result, I met him unexpectedly at the convenience store where I worked that night.

Afterwards, because of the brass band matter, he came to the convenience store again and helped her deal with the unknown creature.

That night in the dim alley of Kyoto, he stood in front of her and said, "I will help you with the next thing." Then, more than a dozen yakuza were dealt with with just one sentence.

I still remember that shocking scene - of course, the scene of us running back to the convenience store in a panic afterwards is also very impressive.

He was clearly saying "I can do anything" in a very arrogant manner just a few minutes ago.

Later, it was summer vacation.

It was another normal part-time job at a convenience store when he suddenly showed up, coming from Tokyo to Kyoto.

If she was off work or it was not her working time that day, the two of them would have missed each other. But no, they ran into each other just like that.

He confided in her.

Later, it was the national competition in Nagoya. I was just out for a stroll, but I actually ran into him who was also out.

When he said goodbye to her at the end of the national competition, he said this to her:

"Although I'm probably not going to Kyoto, I wouldn't mind if you come to Tokyo to talk to me if you have any questions."

...Come to think of it, this is why she suddenly wanted to come to Tokyo, right?

This morning, on the rooftop of a high-rise building in Kyoto, I had clearly made up my mind that rather than continue like this, facing this choice that would not work no matter which one I chose, I might as well... jump off.

And then, just like that, he took one last look at Kyoto, and ended up meeting his student.

Even though they were in the sky, the two people on the street - especially the student who claimed to be a contractor, were really conspicuous in their attire.

Looking at her, she remembered the teacher and what he had said to her, so she came to Tokyo.

On a whim, I took a two-hour drive across Japan from Kyoto to Tokyo.

As a result...not at home.

After calming down, she felt that there seemed no need to do so, so she took a step towards the tram tracks.

but……

At this moment, Ye Yue Liya stared in a daze at the hand that grabbed her arm, and then looked forward along the arm.

Familiar faces and soft lines can make people feel inexplicably at ease.
