The dream I had last night also confirmed this statement.

The summer festival had become an experience he could not ignore.

And the girl in the cherry red yukata who kissed him three times when the fireworks rose high into the sky was also someone he could not ignore.

Deliberate neglect and avoidance did not make him forget her.

So, maybe he really should treat this memory and emotion in a different way.

Face it calmly and then forget it.

Is that so?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa still remembers what he was thinking before going to bed last night.

so be it.

……

After arriving at the studio, Tetsufumi Hirakawa put all his thoughts away and devoted himself to work.

The spy-playing-house project has been approved, and what we need to do now is to continuously improve the subsequent scripts.

Although I can't remember the plot clearly, it doesn't matter, because Tetsumoto Hirakawa never intended to follow the original plot exactly.

Just refer to some excellent settings, and there is no problem in creating your own plot or something.

He also didn't think that the plot he created would necessarily be worse than the original work in his previous life... At least he had to have this kind of confidence when creating.

With such confidence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa created a script for the new episode, but it was rejected three times by Ogasa Sayiko today.

Ok……

Facts have proved that things cannot be done well just by relying on self-confidence. As a newcomer to the comics industry, he still has a long way to go.

Amid the frustration of repeated failures in getting his manuscripts approved, Tetsufumi Hirakawa quietly left work.

Well, it’s better to go home.

……

After taking out the key and opening the door, Shinohara Shiori and the two cats came to greet me after hearing the door open.

"Teacher Hirakawa, welcome back, meow." - Meow is the meow of a cat, but the connection is perfect, as if it was Shinohara Shiori shouting.

In this case, she looks like a maid, right?

Wearing a maid outfit, saying "Master, welcome back", and then meowing cutely, like this.

No... this kind of maid doesn't sound very decent.

It’s hard to imagine what it would be like if Shinohara Shiori said something like this.

Certain images naturally emerged in his mind, and his expression became slightly abnormal.

...He couldn't control his fantasies about Shinohara Shiori, so he couldn't let it go.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi paused for a moment at the entrance, and after a moment, he sighed, cleared this strange association from his mind, and convinced himself to accept the fact that he still had unclear feelings for Shinohara Shiori.

Face it first, then forget it, hmm.

Thinking of this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa also greeted the girl.

"I am back."

After changing his shoes, he walked towards the living room under the gaze of Shinohara Shiori and the two cats, and then casually asked the girl behind him.

"Shinohara-san, it's almost evening now, you should be able to tell me about your problem, right?"

Footsteps were heard from behind, and Shinohara Shiori slowly followed and answered.

"Now, you can let Mr. Hirakawa talk first."

"Part of it?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi sat down on the sofa, took the kitten Wuchang who pounced on him, rubbed his cold hands over its warm body, turned around and asked.

"Well, you can tell me part of it first." Shinohara Shiori stood behind Hirakawa Tetsufumi and answered softly within his sight.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi couldn't help but ask: "Why is it a part?"

I don't understand.

However, Shinohara Shiori had no intention of explaining this problem at all... If she explained everything clearly, how could her plan be carried out?

"Teacher Hirakawa, now, Shiori, can you please accompany Shiori for a while?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi's doubts deepened: "Go out, why?"

"Of course, it's to solve the problem that Shiori asked you, Mr. Hirakawa, for help."

"…So what's the problem?"

"..."

"..."

"Okay, okay." Faced with Shinohara Shiori's expression that said "you'll know when the time comes", Hirakawa Tetsufumi could only respond helplessly.

"Where to go?"

"You'll know when you go there, Mr. Hirakawa," replied Shinohara Shiori.

"..."

If there is any promise next time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa must add a premise and describe the problem clearly.

……

In short, for some unknown reason, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who had just returned home, walked out of the house again with Shinohara Shiori.

Speaking of which, today is Christmas Eve, right?

As he walked toward the tram stop, looking at the festive decorations on the street, the colorful light strips, and the Christmas tree in the yard with its top sticking out from the top of the wall, Tetsufumi Hirakawa remembered it again.

Christmas Eve... I had been planning to spend it with Hisata, and I was complaining about it to her on the phone on my way back.

As a result, now, because of Shinohara Shiori's inexplicable request for help, he had to go out with the girl.

Wouldn't that be a bit strange?

After all, it is believed that those who go out together on Christmas Eve are likely to be a couple...

"Teacher Pingchuan, what are you thinking about?"

While he was lost in thought, Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly heard Shinohara Shiori asking a question beside him.

He turned his head and saw a ball of heat slowly dissipating into the cold winter air in front of the girl's beautiful face.

"Nothing." I answered subconsciously.

But after saying this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought of another thing... face it calmly.

Face it calmly.

It is indeed easier said than done.

People always subconsciously avoid things they don't want to face.

After reflecting on it for a while, Tetsufumi Hirakawa changed his words again.

"wrong."

"Ok?"

"I was thinking..." Facing Shinohara Shiori's curious gaze, Tetsufumi Hirakawa expressed his thoughts quite solemnly.

"Shinohara-san, I was just thinking that if we go out together on Christmas Eve like we did, it would be easy for us to be mistaken for a couple, right?"

"...So? Mr. Hirakawa thinks we're a couple?"

"It should be. After all, it was once."

"..."

"..."

It took all of Hirakawa Tetsufumi's courage to say this.

"Um...what's wrong? Did I say it right?" Under Shinohara Shiori's confused gaze, Hirakawa Tetsufumi actually felt a little embarrassed and turned his head to look forward.

"Tsk." Shinohara Shiori chuckled, "No, I just didn't expect Mr. Hirakawa to say that."

"It's just that I think you're right, Shinohara-san. We need to acknowledge what happened in the past."

"That's it."

"Well, I no longer avoid the past and face it calmly," said Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"And then?" Shinohara Shiori felt that there was a second half to the sentence.

She felt right.

"Then you can completely forget it."

"Is facing it calmly in order to forget Shiori?"

"Ah."

"Doesn't that mean that Mr. Hirakawa hasn't forgotten Shiori yet?" asked Shiori Shinohara with interest.

After hesitating for a moment, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did not avoid the gaze this time.

"Yes."

"..."

He actually admitted it.

Shinohara Shiori smoothed her hair.

Before she could say anything, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at her and continued.

"Last night, I dreamed about Shinohara-san."

Shinohara Shiori felt a little uncomfortable.

"Did you dream about Shiori? What did you dream about?"

"It happened during the summer festival."

"..."

"..."

"Of course." Hirakawa Tetsufumi continued to explain, "I said this so that I can face it calmly and forget it. No matter what, I will never think of going back and doing it again."

Shinohara Shiori stared into Hirakawa Tetsufumi's eyes, and after a moment, she sighed softly.

"It's really too much for Mr. Hirakawa to say something like that to a girl."

"Maybe." Hirakawa Tetsufumi responded casually.

Shinohara Shiori's purpose is unknown, but at least he must express his stance now.

He already has Kyuta.

"By the way, where are we going now?"

"The amusement park." Shinohara Shiori replied.

"..."

"..."

"What?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi suspected that he didn't hear clearly.

"The amusement park." Miss Shinohara repeated it lightly.

"..."

Chapter 280 The incident begins

Uh… go to the amusement park, why?
