With his head lowered, staring at his dim shadow cast by the street lamp on the ground, Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked home silently.

Hisada Moki's words just now made him start to feel conflicted again, and his steps became heavy.

The female teacher who didn't want to give up and wanted to hold his hand had to admit that this was Hisata, this was the charm of the gentle teacher he liked.

What kind of person could make such a decision under such circumstances? It could only be Hisada, right?

I don’t want him to fall, so I want to become the “teacher” in his mind, the teacher who changed his life.

Just now, when Hirakawa Tetsufumi heard this news from Hisada Masaki and saw a look in her eyes that could only be described as "infinite tenderness", he was truly moved.

If he had not met Shinohara Shiori and Hazuki Reiya, then according to the most normal development, perhaps - no, it should be certain - he would have continued to walk with Hisata, this gentle teacher who had almost no flaws, forever and ever, right?

Moreover, teachers' jobs are generally stable, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will continue to work in Moriya.

Work together, retire together, and be together every day.

Moreover, being with such a gentle teacher, there would surely be almost no conflicts between him and her, right?

It is hard to imagine any contradictions in normal times.

Life with her, having a career that I love, and having such an understanding wife, must be quite smooth, right?

"..."

But all this would just be fantasy.

When he walked into his own home through the door that was open when he left, what he saw was:

Shinohara Shiori was sitting on the sofa with a cat on her lap, while Amamiya Yoru was running around his living room, chasing after Michael who was jumping up and down.

When he heard his footsteps, Amemiya Ye stopped, turned around and took a look. Michael meowed in relief.

As for Shinohara Shiori, she also stood up holding Gabriel in her arms.

"Teacher Pingchuan, you are back?"

"Yeah." Hirakawa Tetsufumi responded, lowered his head, changed into slippers, and stepped into the entrance hall.

Amemiya Ye ran up to him, looked up at him and asked with concern.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what's going on?"

Shinohara Shiori glanced at Amemiya Ye. She really wanted to say that it had nothing to do with Amemiya Ye, but at this time, her concern for her teacher Hirakawa overcame the desire to say something to Amemiya Ye.

Shinohara Shiori also looked at Hirakawa Tetsufumi, waiting for his reply.

"Nothing." Tetsufumi Hirakawa gave the two girls a forced smile.

After a series of events that started this afternoon, he felt a little tired.

"Shiori, Amamiya-san...it's getting late, why don't you go back early?"

Amemiya Ye focused on the obvious difference in addressing them. To Miss Shinohara, it was "Shiori", and to her, it was "Amemiya-san"...

Amamiya Ye felt a little frustrated, and her little face puffed up a little.

Shinohara Shiori focused on returning home as soon as possible.

She smelled something unusual.

"Is Mr. Hirakawa tired?"

Shinohara Shiori let go of Michael from her arms and walked forward.

"is a bit."

"Is it because of what Mr. Hisada and Mr. Hirakawa said?"

"..."

It definitely looks like that.

Shinohara Shiori looked at the expression of Hirakawa Tetsufumi in front of her and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hirakawa. Although Shiori knows that you are tired and doesn't want to disturb your rest, I can't go back peacefully if you are like this."

She didn't know what Mr. Hisata and Mr. Hirakawa had said. What if these words gave Hirakawa some ideas? She couldn't just go back like that.

"I……"

"Can I talk to Shiori?"

"..."

The young lady in front of him naturally took his hand, and the warmth of her palm was transmitted along his hand which was cold from the outdoor air. The concerned look in her eyes made Hirakawa Tetsufumi unable to refuse.

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slowly.

"Shiori, let's sit down. I'm a little tired."

"of course."

Holding hands, Shinohara Shiori and Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked towards the sofa in the living room.

——Leaving Amamiya Yoru alone, she stood there, blinking her eyes at a loss, staring blankly at the two people who were walking away from her hand in hand.

"..."

What to do, she seems to be ignored?

Eh——?!

What should she do next?

Just standing here, by the entrance, silently watching Miss Shinohara and Teacher Hirakawa leaning intimately on the sofa and doing nothing?

After thinking about it, Yu Gong Ye took a step quietly and unnoticeably, followed the two of them gently, walked to the sofa, and sat down not far from them.

"..." After sitting down on the sofa, Shinohara Shiori glanced at Amemiya Yo silently.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi also glanced at Amemiya Ye.

Amamiya Ye placed both of them on her knees, sitting obediently, as if she would never disturb the two of them so please don't let her leave.

Shinohara Shiori didn't know what she should say. She wanted to ask Amemiya Ye to stay away, but Hirakawa was still there. She glanced at the teacher beside her and wanted to ask for his opinion.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa said nothing... He was really tired and didn't want to care about these unimportant things anymore.

It might take some effort to get Amamiya Ye to leave, and it might not even succeed, so forget it. Even if Amamiya Ye is next to me, it won't affect anything.

Just like that, under the curious gaze of Amemiya Yoru sitting on the side, Hirakawa Tetsufumi turned to Shinohara Shiori beside him.

He shook the girl's hand, which was warm as a result of her body temperature.

Shinohara Shiori didn't want to care about Amemiya Yo anymore. She heard the teacher in front of her speak.

"Shiori."

"Yes." Shinohara Shiori also held Hirakawa Tetsufumi's hand tightly and responded, "Teacher Hirakawa, Shiori wants to know what Mr. Hisata said to you."

After a brief silence, the scene under the street lights in the night just now emerged in his mind. As the memory emerged, Hirakawa Tetsufumi felt his heart moved again.

He controlled his emotions and spoke in a restrained and calm manner.

"Just now, after Hisata and I went out..."

"..."

"..."

……

After the brief narration, the living room fell into a brief silence.

Sitting on the side, Amemiya Ye kept blinking his eyes and thinking quickly, trying to analyze the current situation.

Before she could figure it out, Shinohara Shiori's voice rang out.

"Is that so? So, Mr. Hisada is not going to give up, right?"

"Shiori..."

"Teacher Hirakawa, what's wrong?" Shinohara Shiori kept staring at Tetsufumi Hirakawa who was right in front of her, and never let go of her hand.

"Hmm...you want to know what Shiori is thinking?" she guessed.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded as a confirmation.

"Is that so?" In response, Tetsufumi Hirakawa saw the corner of the girl's mouth suddenly raised into a smile.

"Teacher Hirakawa, don't ignore what Shiori said. Shiori said that she would never let go of Teacher Hirakawa's hand. If Teacher Hisada is also unwilling to let go, then Shiori can only hold you tighter... You will definitely belong to Shiori."

"...I'm not an object." Not knowing what to say, facing the girl's declaration, Hirakawa Tetsufumi sighed helplessly.

Shinohara Shiori did not comment.

"Teacher Hirakawa wants to ask Shiori this question like this. Why, do you think Shiori will let go?"

"I……"

"Or does Mr. Hirakawa think that - [Since my love will cause trouble to the other person, for the sake of the other person, I have no choice but to withdraw] - this plot development is more in line with Mr. Hirakawa's ideas?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly under the girl's gaze.

"I don't think so."

However, I have to say that as summarized by Shinohara Shiori, [because he listened to Hisata's reprimand, he chose to let go] this plot direction does seem to be... youth pain literature?

That's the name, right?

It's really a bit bloody.

Miss Shinohara's style is to never let go.

"I understand, Shiori."

"Well. So, what does Mr. Hirakawa think?" asked Shinohara Shiori.

"Me?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa hesitated.

But before he could answer, Shinohara Shiori acted as if she knew everything. She stretched out her finger and put it to his mouth.

"Okay Mr. Hirakawa, you don't have to say anything, Shiori will know."

"...Is this so?"

"Well. Mr. Hirakawa, you—" Shinohara Shiori moved closer, within breathing distance, and looked into the confused eyes, "Your idea is that you have no idea, right?"

'...'

Shinohara Shiori smiled, leaned back to create distance, and played with her long hair with her fingers.

"There's nothing we can do. Shiori just thought about it and knows that given the current situation, if we ask Mr. Hirakawa to make a choice, it will definitely be embarrassing for him."

“You absolutely can’t choose.”

"In that case, Shiori, don't let Mr. Hirakawa choose at this time."

"but--"

Shinohara Shiori became serious again, looking at Hirakawa Tetsufumi with an inexplicable aura.

This made Tetsufumi Hirakawa sit up straight subconsciously.

He heard Shinohara Shiori speak.

"Teacher Hirakawa, this doesn't mean that Shiori agrees with your ridiculous idea of ​​wanting everything, understand?"

"You are not a child anymore, please don't say such things."

"Shiori will not pursue this for now because I understand your thoughts and do not want to embarrass you."

"After that, when Shiori holds your hand... um..."

"Four... No."

After thinking about it, Shinohara Shiori decided to exclude Amamiya Yoru - there was no need to worry at all.

"After three hands, Shiori will never let you have such thoughts again."

"If Mr. Hirakawa still has this idea at that time——"

Shinohara Shiori stared at Hirakawa Tetsufumi.
