I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"But you're right. The photo of Mr. Hirakawa is very important. It's a pity to lose it like this."

"……Really."

"laugh."

Shinohara Shiori laughed again when Hirakawa Tetsufumi nodded in agreement.

"Teacher Hirakawa, you look cute like this."

"..."

It would be a bit of an exaggeration to describe him as kawaii.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi wanted to refute, but Shinohara Shiori continued speaking.

"but--"

"But what?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi had to hold back his rebuttal and continue listening to what the girl said.

Shinohara Shiori said seriously: "It's okay to lose your phone."

"Ok?"

"Because those people will help Shiori get it back."

"Uh..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi was stunned for a moment, "It seems so."

If your phone is equipped with a positioning system, those people will definitely try to find it, so you don’t have to worry about losing your phone.

"Yeah, so just put your phone somewhere."

"Okay then." Hirakawa Tetsufumi agreed with this method, "But there is still a problem... Now that they are already in this hotel, it is not enough to just remove the location. We also have to think about how to leave here without being discovered by them, right?"

"This is indeed a problem." Shinohara Shiori thought about it and started thinking again.

"By the way, didn't you say, Mr. Hirakawa, that they don't know exactly which room Shiori is in?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi recalled and confirmed: "Yes, I heard them say that. Maybe the positioning is not that accurate."

"Hmm..." Miss Shinohara lowered her head and pondered, until she seemed to have come up with a solution after a moment, "In that case..."

“Because they don’t know exactly which room Shiori is in, then the best way would be to wait for me on the first floor of the hotel or in the surrounding area, right?

"After all, I can't stay in the hotel forever."

"That's right." Hirakawa Tetsufumi thought Shinohara Shiori was right.

"But everyone will slack off sometimes. So, we just need to take the opportunity to run away when they slack off."

"Then... when you relax..."

"That would be midnight," Shinohara Shiori said affirmatively.

"midnight……"

"Well, they definitely didn't expect us to take the opportunity to go out in the middle of the night. After all, they didn't know that I knew they were coming. So, they should still be resting at that time, waiting for me to show up tomorrow."

"That's a possibility, yes." Hirakawa Tetsufumi did not deny this possibility, "But what if they didn't rest but were waiting down there?"

"We have to try to find out," said Shinohara Shiori, "and, Mr. Hirakawa, it will be impossible to get rid of them until tomorrow morning."

"Okay, too."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to nod and approve Shinohara Shiori's plan.

Leaving the hotel at midnight tonight is indeed the only way to get rid of those bodyguards. As long as we wait until tomorrow, they will definitely be waiting downstairs.

So I must try it tonight, even if it is a little risky to try--

Of course, Tetsufumi Hirakawa probably wouldn't know about the so-called risks, the so-called "if they didn't rest but were waiting down there"...this kind of thing could be solved with just a word from Miss Shinohara.

Hmm... I'll find a chance to send them a message and ask them to leave work early today.

Shinohara Shiori pretended to remain calm.

"Is that settled then? Find a chance to leave the hotel tonight," Hirakawa Tetsufumi finally confirmed.

"Yeah." Shinohara Shiori came back to her senses.

"Before that..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi seemed to have something to say.

"Teacher Hirakawa, please tell me what you want to say."

"Uh..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi tried to speak in a normal tone, "Well, since Shinohara's cell phone is no longer reliable, cell phone calls may not be safe. So, in order to facilitate the action tonight, I will... not go back to my room, right?"

Shinohara Shiori smiled softly: "Well, of course, Mr. Hirakawa."

Yeah, see, it was Teacher Pingchuan who took the initiative to ask us to stay, she wasn't the one who asked.

Creating a problem to face together...is indeed a good idea.

Chapter 284 Before Sunrise

The plan for tonight has been discussed, and now all we have to do is wait for the time to come.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing... This is probably how it feels.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa chose to stay in Shinohara Shiori's room and wait for the arrival of the "east wind".

Of course, he wasn't staying here to have anything happen with Shinohara Shiori...there wasn't any chance...he wouldn't even if he had the chance.

Because how should I put it… From [now] to [action begins], it can be described like this:

I would be woken up after not sleeping for long, which made it impossible to sleep well, making me feel very troubled and confused - for a period of time.

Rather than turning out like this, it would be better to just stay awake and wait.

That's it. Since he had no intention of sleeping, then it was no problem for him to share a room with an underage girl with only one bed late at night...

Well, there are still problems.

But don't lie to yourself about facing it calmly.

Compared to what happened before, now it’s just staying in a couple hotel for a while, or to make it more convenient to leave here when the time comes, which is indeed a small problem.

"Teacher Hirakawa, come to think of it, Shiori wanted to ask you before, what is this thing?"

"Huh? What?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi, who was waiting for time to pass in boredom, heard Shinohara Shiori's voice and turned his head in the direction of the voice, and then he saw:

At some point, Miss Shinohara sat on the edge of the bed near the bedside table. As for what this innocent young lady was asking...

Following the direction of her gaze, Tetsufumi Hirakawa also successfully found the target.

It's on the bedside table.

"..."

"Ok?"

Unable to get an answer from Hirakawa Tetsufumi, Shinohara Shiori looked back at him and asked again, "Teacher Hirakawa, what is this?"

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi's words were stuck in his throat for a long time.

Ok……

How should I put this...

"It's great."

After contemplating for a long time, Hirakawa Tetsufumi finally spoke, both in expression and tone, quite serious.

"Stick?" The young lady, who had not been contaminated by the secular world, did not quite understand this kind of thing. "Why is there a stick here?"

"..."

Yeah, why, that’s a really good question.

After all, this kind of thing is too private. If it is placed here for guests to use, it will be difficult for them to accept it psychologically even if they can be washed clean... But I digress.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa believes that the "why" asked by Shinohara Shiori is definitely not this kind of "why".

Why are sticks placed in the rooms of couples hotels?

If I really want to say something, it is a topic that is not suitable for children. It is a topic that I absolutely cannot talk about with students as a teacher, otherwise I will become a vulgar teacher.

Although he has already resigned, Tetsufumi Hirakawa still has some psychological constraints in this regard.

Absolutely can't say that.

"It's for couples who come here to rest and give each other massages." Hirakawa Tetsufumi explained with a smile, "Giving a massage to a tired partner... isn't that a sweet thing?"

Well... that's probably not wrong. The original function of the vibrator was really massage... As for how it became what it is today, becoming a common prop in [certain] movies...

"Teacher Hirakawa, are you lying?"

"..."

I thought the lake was gone.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi, who had just begun to rejoice in having found a reasonable explanation, was immediately brought back to reality by Shinohara Shiori's voice.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at Shinohara Shiori with embarrassment. The young lady sighed softly as if she saw through him completely.

"This..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi wanted to say something.

"You are lying, right?" Shinohara Shiori confirmed the fact.

"..."

It's irrefutable.

"...Anyway, it's not something worth knowing, so Shinohara-san should stop asking."

After thinking about it for a long time and still unable to explain it, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed and could only answer this way.

Fortunately, Miss Shinohara glanced at him, said "hmm" softly, and tentatively accepted his explanation.

I’m glad I didn’t become a vulgar teacher who imparts vulgar knowledge to students…

……

After a few minor incidents, it was mostly quiet.

The quietness refers to the quietness between Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Shiori Shinohara, who were just chatting casually.

The topic that started suddenly—"How did Hirakawa-sensei spend Christmas in the past"—"Anyway, it definitely wouldn't be in a love hotel room with a high school girl"—

We chatted leisurely like this, talking about the books we read in the past and the names of characters in "One Hundred Years of Solitude" that even Tetsuwa Hirakawa could not remember.

This is the quietness between Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Shiori Shinohara.

Besides——

It seems a bit noisy.

Presumably, this love hotel was renovated with some kind of soundproofing in mind, but it's a pity that it's Christmas Eve now...

No, it's past twelve, so it's already Christmas.

But no matter whether it is Christmas Eve or Christmas, in short, there are many couples on this special holiday...

Those terrible noises made Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Shiori Shinohara fall silent at the same time, and a strange atmosphere that made people feel uneasy filled the room.

Then, those less formal decorations become even more eye-catching.

Silent for a long time.

……

Until late at night, the voices that Tetsufumi Hirakawa did not want to hear, especially did not want to hear with underage girls, did not stop.

"Shrill cries" were heard from time to time in the deep night.

Ok.

But never mind that.

The time has finally come.

"Shinohara-san, we should go now."
