I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"..."

no answer.

Until a moment later, under the caring gaze of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, Shinohara Shigen, lying on the bed, holding Tetsufumi Hirakawa's cheek, finally revealed her true feelings.

"Teacher Hirakawa, after something terrible like this happens, you will definitely be sad and blame Shiori, right?"

she said suddenly.

"What?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi didn't understand what Shinohara Shiori said, "What do you mean by waking up?"

"To be honest, Shiori doesn't know either. The dream..."

Shinohara Shiori's tone was a little light.

"What exactly is a dream? Shiori really doesn't know."

Was it the summer festival, was it now? The touch was so real, the memory was so real, everything that happened was so real.

But it is indeed detached from reality, it is a dream, at least for this teacher at that moment, it is a dream.

It would only be like this in dreams. Only in dreams would she be the only one in his eyes.

why?

do not know.

But what you know is that everything will change once you wake up from the dream.

The teacher, who only has eyes for her, will look away from her.

Therefore, there is only a chance if you can solve everything in a dream.

This is the only chance, there will be no other chance.

But why the hesitation?

Was it what Hazuki Reiya said?

【After waking up, he will be sad. 】

Not entirely, at least, Miss Shinohara is not someone who can be easily swayed.

The only thing that can sway her is her heart.

Is this method really good?

Such doubts already existed in her heart.

And at this moment, such doubts were indeed exposed.

She continued to caress Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face.

"Teacher Hirakawa, you will be sad, right?"

"Sad, Shiori, what are you sad about?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi still didn't understand.

However, Shinohara Shiori continued talking to herself.

"It's okay, Mr. Hirakawa, just listen to Shiori."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Shinohara Shiori, whose expression seemed a little confused, and blinked in confusion.

He really didn't understand why the girl in front of him suddenly became like this, but it didn't matter. Since she said so, he just had to listen. So why not listen?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa kissed Shinohara Shiori on the face.

"Okay, Shiori, go ahead."

"Ah."

Shinohara Shiori smiled.

"Even though it's a dream, Mr. Hirakawa is still very gentle."

"Shiori likes to dream like this. Teacher Hirakawa only sees Shiori's dreams."

"It would be nice if I didn't wake up from the dream."

"But ah..."

Looking at Tetsufumi Hirakawa who was listening to her quietly, Shinohara Shiori spoke softly.

"It seems that it won't work. Mr. Hirakawa will wake up eventually."

"Although I wanted to take advantage of the dream to solve all the problems, but... Mr. Hirakawa will be sad when he wakes up, right?"

“There is such a worry.”

"Of course, even though this is the case and there are such concerns, how can Shiori just let go of Mr. Hirakawa so easily?"

“There are no more chances.”

Shinohara Shiori's eyes were filled with confused thoughts.

It was not until a moment later that he looked at Tetsufumi Hirakawa again.

"Teacher Hirakawa, do you know how much Shiori likes you?"

Before Tetsuo Hirakawa opened his mouth to answer, Shinohara Shiori asked and answered her own question.

"In fact, Shiori often thinks of that incident a long time ago and dreams of that afternoon which was a very important turning point for Shiori."

"Because that was the first time Shiori was saved."

Memories of the past emerged in Shinohara Shiori's eyes.

"It was the first time someone stood in front of me and said, 'We know it's impossible but we still do it,' and 'This is our agreement,' and then convinced my mother."

"You know, in Shiori's mind, her mother was unconvincing and doomed to fail, but she did it anyway."

"So, that teacher is very important to Shiori. Really important."

Holding the face of "that teacher", Shinohara Shiori said.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa blinked in her arms.

Shinohara Shiori looked at it, chuckled, and continued speaking.

"So, that night, when the teacher left, Shiori looked at his back as he left. From that moment on, she fell in love with him without permission."

"It is indeed [unauthorized], because this love is destined to be wrong."

When talking about [destined to be wrong], a helpless smile appeared on Shinohara Shiori's lips.

"Shiori's respect and admiration for you, and the love that comes from it, is destined to be wrong."

"Teacher-student love is a taboo term and is wrong."

"Of course Shiori knows this. She doesn't need you, Mr. Hirakawa, to refuse. Shiori knows this."

"But, the word 'doomed to error' is too cruel."

"It's hard to control your love, but——"

"Doing things that are destined to be wrong, liking people that are destined to be wrong, even the 'liking' itself, even the feeling of 'liking', are destined to be wrong."

"In this doomed mistake, Shiori seems to be destined to fail."

"Can Mr. Hirakawa know this feeling?"

Shinohara Shiori raised her face and kissed Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

"This is the emotion that is perceived as 'bound to be wrong.'"

After a pause, his tone suddenly changed.

"But even though it's a destined mistake, Shiori doesn't want to give up."

Shinohara Shiori said.

"Unable to accept reality, yet unwilling to give in, wanting to grasp this impossible situation... Shiori has experienced this a lot."

“Never give up until you’ve tried.”

"Shiori is just like that... even if she knows it's wrong."

"Teacher Hirakawa——"

Shinohara Shiori suddenly mentioned him.

"What's wrong?" asked Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"Yesterday was Christmas Eve." Shinohara Shiori said, "We went out together, and on the way, Mr. Hirakawa said that you dreamed about the summer festival, right?"

Although he was a little confused about why this matter was mentioned, Hirakawa Tetsufumi nodded: "Yeah, yes. I dreamed about Shiori again."

"so good."

Shinohara Shiori smiled, a faint smile that was very touching.

"Shiori is really happy. Teacher Hirakawa still can't forget Shiori. Just knowing this will make Shiori happy for a long time."

"Did you know that Shiori also dreams about that summer festival?"

"Or rather, Shiori will never forget the summer vacation before."

That summer vacation accompanied by the hot sunshine and the sound of cicadas, and the days when she practiced wind instruments with Teacher Pingchuan at school, are deeply engraved in her memory.

"That was the first time Shiori confessed to someone."

"Even though I know this is a doomed love, and even though I know this is a doomed failure..."

"I know there is little hope, or even no hope at all - because that's the kind of person Mr. Hirakawa is."

"You will never agree to such a ridiculous thing."

"Shiori has thought about giving up countless times."

When Shinohara Shiori talked about this, she kissed Hirakawa Tetsufumi again.

She looked deeply into his face.

“Do things that are destined to fail, and like people who are destined to be impossible.”

"But whenever she sees Mr. Hirakawa, Shiori will always think of that evening, the back of the man standing in front of Shiori."

"So, after struggling for a long time, I decided to do it in a place where Mr. Hirakawa couldn't see me."

"So, Shiori plucked up the courage and confessed to her teacher as a student, saying, "I like you, please accept Shiori's love."

"Teacher Pingchuan, I like you."

At this moment, Shinohara Shiori said to Hirakawa Tetsufumi again.

"I like Shiori too." Tetsufumi Hirakawa responded to her love.

It was indeed a beautiful dream, and only at this time would he respond to her love.

Shinohara Shiori's mouth curled up.

"When Mr. Hirakawa heard Shiori's confession, he must have thought that this was ridiculous, right?"

“Not surprisingly, it was rejected.”

"Everything that happened afterwards, during the summer practice time, Shiori always pestered Mr. Hirakawa."

"Looking back now, Shiori still thinks it was a beautiful thing."

"——Although Shiori has been rejected all the time."

He suddenly changed the subject and chuckled.

After laughing, Shinohara Shiori continued to stare at Hirakawa Tetsufumi and said.

"Besides, at the beginning, Mr. Pingchuan was really determined."

“It even expressed the teacher’s beliefs.”

"But Shiori really can't let go of Mr. Hirakawa."

"In the final analysis, Shiori just likes you. I like you, I really like you."

“My heart is like a spring under a mountain, flowing through the forest and invisible, surging and unstoppable.”
