I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Shinohara Shiori laughed silently.

"Teacher Hisada, of course I know what this kind of thing is like. But——"

The girl denied it.

"On the contrary, Mr. Pingchuan's teachings have always been correct. He is the most respected teacher in the students' minds."

"Respect?" Hisada Masu questioned.

"Of course it's respect." Shinohara Shiori didn't think there was anything wrong.

“Is there something wrong with the way you show respect?” Perhaps it was Hisata’s personality, or perhaps, considering the other person’s status as a student, her tone was always restrained.

"Maybe there is a problem." Shinohara Shiori said, "But there is no way. My love for Mr. Hirakawa will not be restrained by my status."

"Even if we don't consider the teacher-student relationship, you should know that Zhewen is my boyfriend, right?" Hisata Masaki's tone fluctuated.

Shinohara Shiori shook her head.

"Teacher Hisada, you should know that I was with Teacher Hirakawa first. If it weren't for the identity issue, he would have been with me now, and you wouldn't have had a chance."

The tone was polite, always with honorifics, but the wording was not polite at all.

"In fact, you just have the advantage of your status."

"——You can ask Mr. Hirakawa about this. Shiori asked him this question before."

"If it weren't for the identity issue, Mr. Hirakawa would definitely choose to stay with Shiori at the end of the last time, right? He likes Shiori too."

Shinohara Shiori looked at Hirakawa Tetsufumi with a smile.

Hisada Masu also looked over.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa lowered his head lower and lower.

He wanted to find a rope.

Chapter 302: This is... Shura Field? (Part )

If it weren't for Shinohara Shiori's identity as her student, would Hirakawa Tetsufumi be with her at the end of the last dream?

...Shinohara Shiori did ask him this question.

The same day after he woke up, he called Shinohara Shiori, and she asked this question when the call was about to end.

But at that time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did not answer her.

Because at that time he didn't know, he hadn't thought it through, and he was hesitant.

However, after hanging up the phone, and in the following few days, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did face this question more than once when he was in a daze, and used it to question his heart.

He probably figured out the answer.

But is this answer really timely?

Hirakawa Tetsufumi didn't dare to look at Shinohara Shiori, especially the gazes of Hisada Masaki.

In fact, the answer to this question is not difficult.

One party just made an agreement, while the other party was clearly together.

What's more, he likes Shinohara Shiori.

If it wasn't an identity issue, was it really necessary for him to break up with Shinohara Shiori and then go find Hisata to fulfill the agreement?

The answer should be obvious.

He might feel conflicted, blame himself, and be sad because he could not fulfill his promise, but in the end, he could only continue to be with Shinohara Shiori.

But he didn't want to say it out loud, he really didn't want to... As for the lie... It must have no effect on the two people present who knew him quite well.

He lowered his head and remained silent under the gazes of the two people.

But...the silence in this situation is, after all, just another level of acquiescence.

In the perception of Tetsufumi Hirakawa, the atmosphere on the scene was becoming more and more depressing.

Then, suddenly.

He heard the voice of Hisada Masu.

"Shinohara-san, you shouldn't be that far away from adulthood, right?"

Hisada Masaki's words suddenly broke the atmosphere and drew Shinohara Shiori's gaze away from Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi also raised his head and looked at Hisata.

Moshu Kuta was staring at Shiori Shinohara, his eyes were not the same as most of the time - but with the majesty of being a class teacher facing the students.

It's a pity that the natural suppression of teachers in front of students due to their status does not work for Shinohara Shiori, a lady from a prominent family.

The girl's tone did not change.

"Yes, Mr. Hisada, what's wrong?"

"Then Shinohara-san, you should also understand something... Assumptions that are divorced from reality are meaningless."

When teaching students, Hisata Masuki, as a teacher, is no longer gentle and kind, and her tone is very serious.

"I have to learn not to be alone in my own fantasy like a child."

"Shinohara-san, please take a good look at this, because you - of course, it can't be said that it's all your fault. After all, the homeroom teacher who didn't teach you well also has a lot of responsibility."

When she said this, Hisada Masu looked at Hirakawa Tetsufumi again.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi: “…”

"But, anyway, it's indeed because of you. He, Zhewen, has resigned." Hisada Masaki said to Shinohara Shiori, "He quit the job he loved the most."

"It's already like this, but you still can't face reality? Do you want to continue staying in your own imaginary fantasy?"

"Shinohara-san, I think you should wake up. Your behavior has interfered with other people's normal lives."

"..."

After hearing what Hisada Masuki said, Shinohara Shiori indeed fell silent.

Addicted to fantasy, unable to distinguish reality...

From the perspective of Hisada Maki, this accusation is indeed true.

However, it was obvious that the willful young lady, who had already determined her goal, would not be shaken by just a few words.

She straightened her body, and faced Moshu Kuta's gaze as if examining a problematic student.

"Teacher Hisada, if this is just my wishful thinking, then perhaps your accusation is not wrong."

"Being immersed in one's own fantasy without considering the reality, interfering with others just because of one's own ideas."

“But it’s not.”

"I like Mr. Hirakawa, and Mr. Hirakawa likes Shiori too."

"..." When these words came out of Shinohara Shiori's mouth, the color in Hisata Masaki's eyes obviously dimmed.

She glanced away.

She didn't see any intention on Hirakawa Tetsufumi's part to refute.

Shinohara Shiori continued speaking.

"If that's the case, if you like each other, why do you have to give up because of the constraints of your status?"

"I don't think so."

"Moreover, the reason for prohibiting teachers and students is that teachers may use their status advantages and the ignorance of underage students to establish an unequal relationship."

"However, Mr. Hisada... and Mr. Hirakawa, have you ever thought about this..."

"Because of Shiori's identity, Mr. Hirakawa is actually the one who is at a disadvantage in their relationship."

"Even when Mr. Hirakawa was still teaching at the school, Shiori could have fired Mr. Hirakawa at any time if she wanted to. Where did Mr. Hirakawa's advantage as a teacher come from?"

"Besides, the reason why Shiori liked Mr. Hirakawa in the beginning was just because of his personality. When faced with some unfair things, even if it might hurt himself, he would stand up to stop it... This has nothing to do with the advantages of being a teacher."

"So, it is forbidden for teachers and students to be together. This is just a common situation. It is precisely because of this reality that Shiori feels that there is nothing wrong with such a relationship."

Shinohara Shiori expressed her opinion.

“……” Tetsufumi Hirakawa opened his mouth.

"..." Hisada Masaki also paused noticeably when faced with Shinohara Shiori's words.

However, she soon figured it out.

"Shinohara-san, what you said is just an excuse for yourself."

"I don't deny that." Shinohara Shiori admitted it very frankly.

She was indeed making excuses, finding legitimate reasons for her inappropriate actions.

"But that's the way it is. As long as you are willing, you can always find reasons to act."

"Especially in this situation—"

She turned her gaze towards Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"When you know that the other person still likes you."

"How can I give up?"

"——So you can interfere with other people's relationships as a third party?"

At this moment, the fluctuation of Hisada Masaki's tone reached its peak.

She stared at Shinohara Shiori, her chest heaving.

One can imagine what her mood is like now.

"if--"

Just as Shinohara Shiori opened her mouth to say something, she was quickly interrupted by Hisada Masaki.

"Shinohara-san, I've already said that reality is reality, there is no if. On the contrary - if you really think there is no problem with doing this, then there is a real problem, right?"

It's ridiculous. No matter what, a person's patience has its limits, even for Hisata Masu.

She also looked at Tetsufumi Hirakawa beside her.

"And you, Zhewen, when you did this, did you not consider the consequences or me at all?"

"I..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi wanted to speak.

However, the one who got there before him was Shinohara Shiori who was sitting opposite him.

"Teacher Hisada, regarding this——"

Her speech made Hirakawa Zhewen stop, and also made Jiutian Moshu look at her again.

Under the gaze of the two, Shinohara Shiori spoke softly.

"I am indeed sorry about this."

"——Just an apology?" Hisada Masu tried hard to control her tone.

"It's the only way." Shinohara Shiori admitted badly, "Because I can't give up no matter what."

"However, there is one thing that should be clarified - regarding what you said, Mr. Pingchuan did not consider the consequences when he did this, and did not consider you - this point."

"What's wrong with this?" Kuta Moshu asked.

"Teacher Hirakawa has considered you." Shinohara Shiori defended Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

"Then why would you agree to such a thing?"

"That's only because dreams are not controlled by Mr. Hirakawa."

"..."

Another dream story. What on earth was this? Some kind of fantasy novel? Hisada Masu found it hard to accept.

Shinohara Shiori continued speaking.

"Dreams are not under his control. I think, if he could choose, even if Mr. Hirakawa really likes Shiori, if he could choose, he would choose to reject such a dream, right?"

"I still understand Mr. Hirakawa."
