I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Teacher Hisada is... gentle and serious, but sometimes, she really does have a little girl side.

"Ah."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa responded, indicating that he was listening.

"The students discovered it." Teacher Hisada said in a low voice.

"Well... there's nothing I can do."

"..."

"..."

"How to do it?"

"It's too late to explain now."

"…Sure enough, we shouldn't let Mr. Hirakawa hide."

"It's no use reviewing it afterwards..."

"Um……"

Hisada Masu turned her head away.

"They said... they wouldn't tell anyone."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi gave a bitter smile.

These words sound as if something really happened between him and Mr. Hisada, which makes people feel helpless.

But in this situation, trying to explain is not so much "useless" as it is just making things worse.

"I understand, I understand. Don't worry, we will never tell anyone." - After explaining, the other party will most likely give some inexplicable assurance like "Don't worry about my mouth."

Headache.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi sighed helplessly again.

"So, Mr. Hisata."

"what happened?"

“Remember, failure is the mother of success.”

"Eh?"

"After this incident, I must remember to hide my shoes next time I hide in someone else's house."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa said this extremely seriously, as if he was making a self-criticism.

"..."

Teacher Hisada looked at him with innocent and dull eyes.

"What?... No way..."

As a result, halfway through his speech, he suddenly chuckled.

"How can this be possible? What's the use of this experience?"

"Who knows." Hirakawa Tetsufumi said nonchalantly, "Maybe I'll need it next time."

"I'd rather not use it."

Hisada-sensei pouted.

"Ok."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa agreed.

"Well then, Mr. Hisada, please get up."

"..."

There was no answer, but Mr. Hisada, who was squatting on the ground, did as he was told.

She reached out, grabbed the doll that was as big as herself, and threw it onto the sofa. Then, she stood up.

then……

He let out an "Aiya" and squatted back down again.

"..."

"..."

Under the puzzled gaze of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, Mr. Hisata's face turned a little red again.

"Teacher Hirakawa...my legs are numb."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa wanted to laugh, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

He walked forward and looked at Hisata Moki lying on the ground, wearing light green slippers and with bare toes that had become extremely white due to lack of blood circulation.

"Teacher Hirakawa...what are you looking at..." Hisata Masu felt a little embarrassed being stared at.

"Nothing, get up."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa extended his hand.

After hesitating for a moment, Hisada Moki also reached out and grabbed his hand.

Her hands were very warm, just like the pajamas she was wearing, looking fluffy and warm.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa used all his strength to help Teacher Hisata up from the ground and let her sit on the sofa.

-

After helping Hisada Moki up, he watched her sit on the sofa with her legs bent, her hands constantly pressing on her toes that had lost their blood.

After staying for a while and chatting for a while, Tetsufumi Hirakawa once again said goodbye.

"Teacher Hisada, then I won't bother you anymore."

Hisada Masu tried to stand up, but she only moved her feet slightly...

Then he put it back silently.

"Well, Mr. Hirakawa, goodbye."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who saw the whole scene, laughed.

"... Mr. Hirakawa, stop laughing."

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving now. Mr. Hisata, take care of yourself."

"Ah."

-

Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked out of Hisada Maki's house and the apartment alone. When he got downstairs, he glanced at his phone and saw that it was almost three o'clock.

I spent quite a bit of time visiting Mr. Hisada today, and now it’s time to go back.

Walk out of the building and slowly walk towards the gate.

Then, when he was about to leave the apartment complex, he looked back.

The community is full of greenery, with shrubs and trees planted everywhere, and some unknown varieties of flowers dotted among the green.

Several people were walking in the middle of the road.

After taking a quick look, he turned around and walked out completely.

-

Somewhere behind a bush, the gentle April wind blew away a few whispers, which dissipated into the air.

"Well, it must be Mr. Hirakawa, right?"

"..."

Chapter 39 The beginning of the week

The weekend always goes by quickly. Before you know it, when you come to your senses and think, "Oh, where is my weekend?", the weekend has already passed quietly.

It's Monday of a new week again, and it's time to get out of bed, prepare myself mentally, and decide not to quit my job.

It took Tetsufumi Hirakawa three minutes to convince himself that he had to go to work before he opened the bedroom door.

While rubbing his eyes, he asked himself again and again why he had to go to work for the responsibilities of a teacher when he had no pressure to make a living in this life?

Ok……

If you think about it carefully, the reason must be that he is a hard-working, serious and dedicated teacher.

"Right?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked the first creature he encountered after waking up.

The white creature meowed at him in approval.

It was definitely approval rather than disapproval, because he was at the maximum level of cat affinity, and this cat would not oppose him.

That’s it. Having received a satisfactory answer, Tetsufumi Hirakawa yawned, ignored the cat running around happily at home, and slowly washed up to prepare for breakfast.

It's a new week, and as a dedicated teacher, there are still many things waiting for him.

For example, Amamiya Ye said that he would give him an answer this week.

For example, the matter of the wind orchestra also needs to be addressed - regarding this, he spent a day thinking slowly yesterday and barely came up with two ideas, but he may need to ask Shinohara-san about which one to adopt and whether it is feasible.

She knows the wind orchestra better than he, the instructor, does.

Thinking about these things, Tetsufumi Hirakawa finished his breakfast slowly, then went out and took the train to school.

When I arrived at the school gate where the cherry blossoms had completely withered, I passed by the cherry trees that were now full of green leaves and entered the campus.

As usual, sports clubs such as baseball and track and field have already started their training for the new week.

Walking on the corridor to the teaching building, I heard:

The crisp sound of metal bats hitting each other cut through the sky, and cheers rang out; in the club building, melodious tunes from the wind band could be heard; passing by were also high school girls who were playing around.

It is indeed a youthful and vibrant campus.

So, in such a vibrant school, everyone’s mentality will become younger.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa strolled in this environment and walked to the office step by step.

When he arrived at the office, he saw Mr. Hisata.

Leaning against the window, the morning sun passed by her and shone on her light green water cup with cartoon prints, causing steam to rise.

She sat at her desk, writing something seriously.

Even the tiny noise made by Tetsufumi Hirakawa when he walked to the desk and sat down did not alarm the hard-working female teacher.

He is really responsible. He devoted himself to work right after he recovered from his illness.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa believes that Mr. Hisata is a teacher who is as dedicated and responsible as he is, and I'm sure White Cat will agree with this statement.

Ah!

Thinking of this, my motivation to work on Monday increased a lot.

However, she was so absorbed in her work that she didn't even notice he was coming?

As if playing a prank, he childishly waved his hands in front of him, trying to attract the teacher's attention.

But it was of no use, Mr. Hisada continued writing seriously.

This made him curious - how long would it take for this serious female teacher to discover him?

With this thought in mind, Hirakawa Tetsufumi held his chin, leaned his elbows on the table, looked lazy, counted silently in his mind, and looked at Hisata Masu.

1, 2, 3...

When they counted to 30, Mr. Hisada, who had been working at his desk, finally made some other moves.

She put down the pen in her hand, and a slight happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth - perhaps she was satisfied that she had finally finished writing.
