I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"Yes."

"Want to do it like last time?"

“I feel like I can’t do it.”

"... still like her?"

"I like it. And, after this kind of thing happened, I can't let it go."

"This one……"

Hazuki Reiya tried to say.

"Anyway, you did this after being hypnotized. This is not your will."

"What happened has happened. Even if it was not my will, what happened cannot be erased, right? At least I can't pretend it didn't happen."

"That……"

Hazuki Reiya continued to try.

"Are you planning on responding to Shinohara?"

"Where's my Jasmine tree?"

"..."

"..."

"It's really troublesome..." said Hazuki Reiya.

"Yeah." Hirakawa Tetsufumi sighed and said, "No matter what I do, I feel sorry for them."

There is no world where no one will be hurt, and the real choices sometimes seem cruel.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was lost in thought.

Then suddenly, I heard Hazuki Reiya's quiet mumbling next to my ear - but because it was hands-free, it was not actually quiet.

What she said was:

"Then let's just get everything done."

"..."

Chapter 297: Hirakawa Tetsufumi's Decision

"..."

It has to be said that after hearing what Ye Yue Li Ya muttered, Hirakawa Tetsufumi was indeed shocked by her words.

"Um...what did you say?" He asked, not sure if he had heard it wrong.

Hazuki Reiya repeated it in a murmur.

"That's right. Anyway, you're facing two people, and you don't know what to do, thinking that no matter what you do, it will hurt the other party... If that's the case, why not have both?"

"..."

"If you want everything, don't worry about it."

"..."

"..."

"..."

He glanced down at his chest, looking at the phone placed on it, and listening to what Ye Yue Li Ya said on the phone, Hirakawa Tetsufumi didn't know what to say.

After a long time, he came to his senses and sighed with a wry smile.

"Ye Yue, don't joke around at this time."

"I'm not kidding." Ye Yue Liya said as a matter of course.

"Not yet? Listen to what you are saying..."

"Of course not." Ye Yue Li Ya's tone was actually quite serious. "Besides this, can you think of any other way to have the best of both worlds?"

"...How can this be the best of both worlds?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi retorted, "My boyfriend has a girlfriend out of nowhere, what kind of thing is this?"

"Then use your hypnotic ability to convince her."

"..."

"Your Hisata, plus that young lady, if you support me, then-"

"——Stop." Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but pick up the phone and slightly raised the volume into the microphone.

what?

Hisada, Shinohara... forget it. Hypnosis is also forgettable... there is no point in discussing it, because he would never do that.

What's the matter with Hazuki Reiya? Keep her as a sponsor? Here we go again.

"Protect you?"

Ye Yue Li Ya explained in a low voice: "Since you want them all, isn't it normal to support me as well?"

"I never said I wanted everything." When saying this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was tired again.

He himself found it a little ridiculous to discuss such messy things seriously.

However, Ye Yue Li Ya didn't think there was anything wrong with this at all.

"No matter which choice you make, one side will be hurt, so only choosing both can result in a happy ending."

"..."

"Stop this." Hirakawa Tetsufumi closed his eyes helplessly and covered them with his hands. "If I do something like this... then what do I think of Moshu?"

All of them... Ridiculous idea, even more ridiculous than a dream or something.

"So what you mean is to give up that young lady?" Ye Yue Liya asked back.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa paused.

After a long period of silence, Ye Yue Li Ya continued to speak.

"Look, you yourself feel that you can't give up anyone. You can't give up Shinohara, you can't give up Hisata - after eliminating these two options, what's left is not to take them all?"

"certainly--"

Ye Yue Li Ya said and quickly added.

"You should also include me, after all, you like me too."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa threw the phone in his hand aside again.

The beautiful Kyoto accent of Reiya Hazuki continued to be heard through the microphone.

"After eliminating all wrong options, the one that remains, no matter how absurd it is, is the correct answer."

"So accept it. It's like this."

"and--"

Reiya Hazuki seemed to be trying really hard to convince Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

But Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay."

He stopped Hazuki Reiya.

"No matter what, I can't let Moshu down."

"You seem to have always given priority to that female teacher." Ye Yue Li Ya discovered the blind spot.

"She is my girlfriend, so of course I have to give her priority," said Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"Then I..." Hazuki Reiya said quickly, paused, and changed the topic to start over, "What about Shinohara?"

"..."

I asked this question again, but all I got was silence from Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"I don't know," he said.

"Look, you don't know again, and you can't make up your mind to give up. So doesn't that mean you just have to accept one path?"

"..."

"..."

After a few quiet breaths.

"Let's drop this topic." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said again.

"Okay." Ye Yue Li Ya stopped talking for the time being.

"..."

"..."

Shinohara, Kuta, all want——

If we consider it from an unrealistic perspective, I believe that no one would not want to face them.

The dignified, elegant, noble young lady, with a beautiful body and passionate love, makes people fall in love with her.

A gentle, considerate and understanding teacher, it is always comfortable to be with her.

If you add Hazuki Reiya... the girl who confessed her love to him in his arms on the bank of the Uji River.

A soft and sticky voice, a slightly contrasting tsundere and sharp-tongued personality, and a cute face...

But, so what?

A normal person will naturally encounter various temptations in life. We should ask ourselves, it is impossible to never have bad thoughts.

But ideas are just ideas, and real actions need to conform to realistic norms.

What Ye Yue Li Ya said was all necessary. It was too absurd in reality, so absurd that it seemed unnecessary to discuss or consider it.

"Ye Yue, that's it for now."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't want to continue talking about wanting it all.

He released his hands that were covering his eyes, opened them again and looked at the ceiling.

"I'll be alone for a while."

"..."

"..."

"Okay." Hazuki Reiya said, "Then see you later?"

"Ah."

"..."

As the phone rang, Tetsufumi Hirakawa picked up the phone next to him and took a look. The call had been hung up.

Then he locked his phone again and put it down.

He then stared at the ceiling in a daze.

The call with Hazuki Reiya has ended... Let's put aside everything she said for now. At least one thing she said was right - he simply can't make up his mind like last time and end things with Shinohara Shiori.

Of course he understood that procrastination was a taboo when it came to emotional matters, otherwise he would not have made the decision so quickly last time.

Hesitation will only lead to greater harm.

However, logic is logic, and the reality is, how can he give up Shinohara Shiori?

His feelings for Shinohara Shiori were not forgotten with the passage of time - he realized this when he first met her two days ago.

And this emotion, with this dream and the experience in this dream, became more and more intense, making it even more difficult for him to let go.

What has happened cannot be treated as if it never happened. He slept in the same bed with Shinohara Shiori, and now he says -
