I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"..."

The fantasy of happiness is finally about to be broken.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat there, holding Shinohara Shiori, and was stunned for a long time.

"..."

"..."

"Shiori, actually... I still like Hisada."

He said suddenly.

Chapter 315 "Moshu, actually... I still like Xiaoyuan"

The situation should have been coming to an end. The girl who was pursuing an impossible love achieved her goal, and the two people who loved each other finally overcame their obstacles and got together... In a fairy tale, this should be the ending of "they lived happily together".

however.

Because of this [however], everything changed.

In the quiet coffee shop, the elegant afternoon sunlight shines through the glass windows. Under the abundant light, you can vaguely see the tiny dust particles floating in the air.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat down in his seat, with no one around him. There were two cups of tea on the table in front of him.

He took the glass in front of him and took a sip.

With a slightly bitter taste of tea.

"Are you regretting it again?"

When I put down the tea, a familiar soft voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked over and saw a voice coming from the opposite side. It was Hazuki Reiya.

She took off the cap she had been using to hide herself and fixed her hair.

"..."

"If you want to say I regret it, I do." After a moment of silence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa said this slowly.

"so……?"

"It's not a big deal. You will definitely regret something like this, but it's useless," said Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

They had just confessed their love, so they should have hugged each other sweetly at this time... That was true at the beginning, but -

I didn't want to give up, but I didn't want to hide it either, so I said something like that:

"Shiori, actually... I still like Hisada."

"..."

It was a bad idea for anyone to not want to give up, and it was also a bad idea to say such a thing in front of Shinohara.

Surprised, unbelievable, doubtful, confused, puzzled... When he saw Shinohara Shiori having these emotions because of his words, he really began to regret it again.

He regretted making the girl who liked him sad because of him.

However, it has come to this point, and whether or not to regret it is indeed just an insignificant emotion.

In the silent gaze, Tetsufumi Hirakawa said a lot more.

About his thoughts, about his decisions.

The final ending is now. Shinohara Shiori left, let go of his hand, and stood up and walked away.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hirakawa... Shiori doesn't quite understand..."

“I don’t understand it at all…”

"If possible, can you let Shiori think about it first?"

"..."

The girl said these words with red eyes and in trouble...Tetsuru Hirakawa wanted to hold her hand but didn't know how.

"..."

"..."

"This situation was actually anticipated before we came here."

Facing Hazuki Reiya who was sitting opposite him, responding to her probably concerned look, when his contemplation ended, Hirakawa Tetsufumi let out a breath and said this.

"Of course I can understand that no one can accept such absurd remarks."

"Actually, I can't accept it myself... Especially when Shiori is sad because of me..."

"But that's all."

It's a tangled mess and I know it's wrong, but I still feel confused inside.

However, with everything that had happened, his inner thoughts told him that there was no other way.

I can't take back the steps I've taken with such great difficulty and go back to the way I did a few days ago, locking myself up at home, hesitating and struggling, right?

Now that you have made up your mind and taken the first step, don't hesitate - just keep going.

Putting aside his regretful feelings, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed softly, forced a smile, and stood up on his knees.

"Let's go?" he said to Ye Yue Li Ya.

"Yeah." Ye Yue Li Ya didn't say much.

With the baseball cap in hand, he stood up and walked over to him.

She took his hand naturally.

"..."

"..."

After a brief pause, Hirakawa Tetsufumi also held Ye Yue Liya's hand again.

……

As we walked out of the cafe, the afternoon sun seemed brighter.

It is rare to have such good weather in early January of the New Year.

"What are you going to do next?"

The girl, who had not walked far and squinted her eyes in the sunlight and put her baseball cap back on, suddenly asked.

"Um……"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked ahead, at the figures of people who were walking past him from time to time and heading forward.

"What should I do next... To be honest, I'm not really sure..."

"Hisaita?" Ye Yue Li Ya reminded.

"...Ah, yes."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi, whose soul was about to escape from his body, managed to perk up after hearing what Hisata said.

"I need to go find Hisata and talk things over... and, oh, by the way."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa remembered and turned his head.

"I've almost figured out what happened in the dream."

"Ah."

"..."

"..."

After accepting Shinohara Shiori in my heart, they kissed again, but the dream did not come.

Well, the previous speculation can almost be said to be correct.

There is at least one condition that triggers the dream: when kissing, Tetsufumi Hirakawa is resisting the other person in his heart.

As for whether the other person must like him...this condition doesn't matter because it can't be tested.

You can't just pick up a random passerby...or something like that just for this test, right?

Weird thoughts flashed through my wandering mind.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi glanced at Hazuki Reiya.

After thinking about it, he said.

"If we figure out what dreams are, at least when Wakuta explains it, there will be something to say, right?"

"..."

Ye Yue Li Ya was unexpectedly quiet now. She just held his hand and nodded without saying anything.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi stopped talking and just walked along in silence.

Of course, he knew that figuring out what the dream was about would be an explanation to himself, so that he wouldn't be left in such a state of confusion. Also, when explaining the cause, it would be more or less explained, instead of -

"why?"

"do not know."

in this way.

After the explanation...

Hirakawa Tetsufumi never delusionally thought that just by explaining it this way, Hisata would immediately forgive him and forgive everything that happened between him and Shinohara Shiori.

What's more, he has now made up his mind to respond to Miss Shinohara in reality.

It was no longer possible to attribute all the situations to dreams - although he had never thought of that.

So, what happens after the explanation?

……

The destination that Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Reiya Hazuki were heading to was Tokyo Station, and Reiya Hazuki was going back to Kyoto.

"By the way, Ye Yue, how is your father doing?"

In the square of Tokyo Station, before entering the station, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was holding the hand of Reiya Hazuki and suddenly remembered something.

"is acceptable."

Ye Yue Liya's tone is indeed okay.

"We are already arranging treatment. As for mother..."

There was a pause, and then he started talking again in a relaxed manner.

"After the last incident, luckily he was rescued in time and soon recovered. He is still in the hospital with his father. That's why I have time to come to you now."

"Ah That's good."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

"..."

"..."

"Don't talk about me, just think about your own things - are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?" Ye Yue Liya turned her head and asked him.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled at the girl who was concerned about him.

"It doesn't matter. You should go back earlier. I don't think this can be solved in a short time. You can't stay here forever, right?"

"Also, you are going to enter higher education, right?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi rubbed Ye Yue Liya's head, "Are you stressed about your studies?"

"..."

After being cold for a while, Ye Yue Li Ya put on a somewhat disgusted expression.

"Don't ask such questions in a teacher's tone."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was stunned for a moment, then he understood the sentence again:

On the one hand, he was too close to the girl, and on the other hand, he was asking about her studies like a teacher... Well, it was really bad when I thought about it, and not very serious.
