I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"His personality is very ordinary, and he is quite introverted. But..."

"but?"

"I think Amamiya-san is not as simple as he appears to be."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to look back and found that Shinohara Shiori was in deep thought at the moment, with certainty in her eyes.

"Is this a conclusion drawn from just a brief contact at noon?"

I couldn't help but ask, if that was true, then this girl's observation skills were too sharp.

Shinohara Shiori glanced at him, then quickly looked away, reaching out to tuck her messy long hair behind her ears.

"Not at all."

"That is?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, the girl continued to answer.

"Before... Mr. Hirakawa said to me - 'Do you ladies like to threaten others with work?'"

"..."

This sentence was what Tetsufumi Hirakawa said to Shinohara Shiori when he was first threatened by Amamiya Yoru.

"At that time, Mr. Hirakawa was probably dealing with Amamiya-san's affairs."

The girl continued to look away.

"So, it should be Amamiya-san who did it..."

If the stairwell hadn't been quiet enough, the second half of Shinohara Shiori's sentence would not have been heard.

What she said was—

"Same thing as me."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa found it a little funny.

Shinohara Shiori's embarrassed look was full of the dignity that comes with being a young lady, but also the shyness of a little girl.

These two complex postures mixed together, under the unique contrast, the micro-expressions on her beautiful face are simply never boring to watch.

We should take photos to record it, and make it into a class album to distribute when we graduate. Of course, this album will also be kept in the school history museum so that future students can have a good look at the elegance of Miss Shinohara, the daughter of the chairman of Moritani High School.

"Teacher Hirakawa..."

"..."

"Teacher Hirakawa."

"…Hmm? What's wrong?"

When they walked down the stairs and came to the shoe cabinet, the shy Shinohara Shiori finally came to her senses. Hirakawa Tetsufumi also stopped the interesting reverie in his mind.

"……time to go."

"Ok."

Chapter 48: Amamiya Yoru’s Chuunibyou Setting: The Present Body and the Hidden Body

After parting with Shinohara Shiori and returning home, Tetsufumi Hirakawa took out his mobile phone and opened Line.

According to what Shinohara Shiori said just now, Miss Shinohara had a pretty good first impression of Amamiya Yoru. This is a good start, and the two of them might really become good friends.

Of course, as a middleman, Tetsufumi Hirakawa believed that it was necessary for him to find out what impression Amemiya Yo had of Shinohara Shiori.

Hirakawa: Amamiya-san, are you there?

Hirakawa: What do you think about your interaction with Shinohara-san today?

After asking, I wanted to put down my phone and prepare to do my own things. But Amamiya Ye responded really quickly.

The message just sent quickly changed to the read status, and then.

Ye: Teacher Pingchuan, I’m here.

Ye: After meeting Shinohara today, I think...

Night: Not very good.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was stunned when he saw Amemiya Ye reply "not very good".

Looks like there was an accident...

Pingchuan: What's wrong?

Ye: I think she has seen through the disguise of her worldly body.

plain:……

Hirakawa: So...

Ye: If we continue like this, she will definitely discover my existence.

Ye: The risk of exposure is extremely high. I think I should keep a distance from her in my current life.

Hirakawa: Ah…

Hirakawa: But Amamiya-san, the friendship we agreed on earlier... should be based on... um... the premise that it doesn't matter even if "you" are exposed.

Pingchuan: It should be said that the purpose of making friends is to allow "you" to appear freely in front of your friends, rather than being closed off.

Night: No.

Pingchuan: What's wrong?

Night: The purpose of making friends in this world is just to place the cats at ease.

Ye: As for my existence, I don’t think it should be exposed to anyone other than you.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the message record in silence.

Thinking back carefully, back then in the shrine, he really just wanted Amamiya Ye to think carefully about making friends.

As for the Chuunibyou thing...

In fact, I discovered this only after I gave this method.

So I didn’t even consider Chuunibyou at the beginning…

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless.

So did the plan to make Shinohara Shiori and Amamiya Yoru become friends fail?

Also, what does it mean that the existence of the "Chuunibyou Personality" cannot be revealed to anyone other than himself?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa immediately sent a message to inquire.

The answer I got was:

Ye: Exposing my existence to Mr. Hirakawa was the result of a discussion between me and my present body.

Pingchuan: Why?

Ye: My existence cannot be hidden forever. The inconsistency between me and my earthly body will be discovered sooner or later.

Ye: So it is necessary to appropriately reveal my existence to others.

Ye: As for why it was Mr. Pingchuan, it is because after a long period of observation, we believe that you are trustworthy.

Ye: That’s all I have to say. Now my present life body will have a conversation with you.

night:……

Night: Mr. Hirakawa.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was dumbfounded when he looked at the chat records.

So what's going on? It seems like a lot of information. Also, can this chuunibyou personality be switched?

Amemiya-san...I have to admit, I seem to have underestimated your chuunibyou.

Your level of middle school student status is higher than I expected.

Hirakawa: Um...Amamiya-san.

Night: I’m here.

plain:……

I had so many questions I wanted to ask at once that I didn’t know what to say.

However, the considerate "present body" immediately sensed his doubts.

Ye: Mr. Pingchuan, you must have a lot of questions now.

Ye: It’s okay, just ask slowly.

Hirakawa: Hmm…

Hirakawa: That...

Pingchuan: "She" calls you your present body, so why do you call her "her"?

Night: The hidden body.

Hirakawa: I see…

I really want to complain.

The real body and the hidden body, is this the setting of this chuunibyou?

Messages continued to come in from the phone.

Ye: She doesn’t want others to discover her existence.

Ye: Because she doesn't belong to this world.

Hirakawa: Hmm…

Okay, let's skip this for now.

Hirakawa: Well, regarding what she said, you can tell me about her existence...

Pingchuan: What you mean is, the initial threat was intentional on your part?

Ye: Yes, this is a test of the hidden body.

Ye: And Mr. Hirakawa passed the test, so he can reveal the existence of the secret body to you.

What a strange train of thought...Chuunibyou is a little hard to understand.

Hirakawa: So, what I mean is...

Pingchuan: Are only those who pass the test qualified to discover the existence of the hidden body?

Ye: That’s right.

Ye: So, before Shinohara-san passes the test, I think I should stay away from her.

Hirakawa: So...what is the test?

Ye: I don’t know either. It will be determined by the hidden body.

Pingchuan: When will the test be conducted?

Night: First observe it for a sufficient period of time.

Ye: The observation time is not fixed. For example, Mr. Pingchuan and I observed for a whole semester.

plain:……

Hirakawa: Amemiya-san has been observing me since the first grade?

Hirakawa: I didn't teach Amamiya-san at that time, right?

Night: Yes.
