I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

They walked forward, looking at each other, those pure eyes, the love that unconsciously revealed in the blink of an eye. Although they said nothing, it seemed as if they said everything.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked forward and saw a student in front of him, not too close nor too far away.

He looked back again. The road stretched out, only illuminated by light, but no one was there.

He looked at the eldest lady beside him again.

She had quietly turned her face away and no longer looked at him.

Her fair face, stunning profile, was slightly flushed. The white shirt set off her cute, small, curvy figure, and her slender neck at the neckline was as white as snow.

Every part of this young lady's body is so beautiful that it is unbelievable.

Even the fingertips - Tetsufumi Hirakawa lowered his head to look at the white and tender hand that gently brushed the back of his hand, even the fingertips were glowing with a beautiful color.

The scenery at dusk, the familiar campus corridor, the sun makes my head hot, and the gentle wind blowing with restlessness is hard to calm down.

Everything is so coincidental and heart-warming.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa extended his index finger and touched the girl's hand.

Hooked.

He hooked his index finger around the girl's hand, which kept swaying and brushing against the back of his hand, giving him a tingling sensation.

It was a light touch, with only one finger touching each other, but Tetsufumi Hirakawa suddenly felt that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

Obviously, they had done all the things that led to a closer relationship, but today, when they walked in the hallway after school, their index fingers gently hooked together, suddenly made Tetsuwen Hirakawa's heart beat fast.

It is hazy, green, and has a wonderful taste.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi swallowed. His throat was dry and his head was hot. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The wind finally brought a slight coolness, and even his fingertips were covered with sweat.

But the fingers are still hooked.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi glanced ahead, and saw the female student walking in front of him, stepping lightly without looking back. He then looked at the girl next to him, but she only gave him a sideways glance and never looked back.

However, that fair profile was clearly even redder.

Shiori Shinohara, Miss Shinohara.

"Shiori."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa leaned over slightly and spoke into the girl's ear.

Shinohara Shiori tilted her head slightly and listened.

"I wonder if I've ever told Shiori..."

"Come to think of it, Shiori is my first love..."

"..."

The setting sun was falling towards the horizon, casting its last rays of light. The female student in front seemed to have a premonition, and she looked back.

A male teacher, a female student, and nothing else.

She looked forward again.

So, the fingers that had just been quickly separated in a short moment were quietly hooked together again in a place where no one was watching.

There is no pressure of full attendance this month, so the number of words has become a bit more casual...

Chapter 341 Towards the End - Shinohara (Part )

No matter what the goal is, no matter how difficult it is to achieve, as long as Shinohara Shiori wants to, as long as she can still see the hope of success, she will always do her best and try every possible way to achieve her goal.

That's her character, her way of doing things.

However, at a certain moment - just sitting in her seat in the orchestra room, playing the melodious trumpet, thoughts flowed through her heart like a trickle... Although she was concentrating on playing the trumpet, the conversation with Reiya Hazuki in the cafe that day suddenly flashed into her mind.

Sometimes it's like this, you are clearly doing something that has nothing to do with it, but that unrelated thing will silently occupy your thoughts.

Then, at this moment, Shinohara Shiori suddenly realized a fact:

She seemed to be getting further and further away from her goal, which was to have her teacher Hirakawa all to herself.

It wasn't an illusion, it was indeed getting farther and farther away, so far away that she seemed to have lost sight of hope.

And, the biggest enemy is actually not Hisata, but Ye Yue.

Hazuki Reiya, who has already lived together and has left a place in Hirakawa's heart.

If the relationship between her and Hisata is either this or that, then in the competition between them, only one person will be left in the end. She can see hope and is confident that she can win in the end.

And in fact, even if there is only a tiny hope, she will do it. So she can say that she will hold Mr. Pingchuan's hand completely.

But Ye Yue is not.

She stayed by Pingchuan's side, repeating that ridiculous idea over and over again.

In other words, the competition between her and Ye Yue may only have two possibilities: Ye Yue stays, or both she and Ye Yue stay.

Because Ye Yue is different from Hisada and her, she and Hisada may choose to give up when they see no hope.

But Ye Yue would not do that, not at all. She would stay with Pingchuan no matter what, even if it meant helping the teacher to achieve her goal of having it all.

Recalling what Reiya Hazuki told her in the cafe that day about declaring war on Hisata for Hirakawa, Shinohara Shiori understood her philosophy.

Do you still like it that way?

To be honest, Shinohara Shiori didn't know. After all, in her understanding, liking someone must be linked to possessiveness.

Therefore, in Shinohara Shiori's eyes, agreeing to the other person's willful idea of ​​wanting everything just because of love is as incomprehensible as giving up for the sake of the other person's betterment.

To like is to possess.

Shinohara Shiori will not give up just for the sake of the other person, even if she has to fall into the abyss together. Similarly, she will not agree to such a ridiculous idea as sharing the person she likes with others just because she likes him.

That's why she was confused.

Ye Yue would never give up, so it seemed that her monopoly would never be achieved.

What will she do next?

Give up?

To be honest, how could she possibly think of giving up? It had come to this point, with all the things that had happened, the feelings that could not be avoided, and the words that Hazuki Reiya had told her - [No matter what, I will never give up on Shiori]...

This is what her teacher Pingchuan once said.

Naturally, she liked Pingchuan and he liked her too.

All of the above are pushing her forward.

There is no road ahead.

The existence of Ye Yue Li Ya completely blocked the path to monopoly.

However, on the fork in the road next to it, there is a sign that says "Share Teacher Pingchuan with others."

The future seemed to be predetermined. Either she stepped back and left, or she stayed, turned to the fork in the road, and accepted reality.

Therefore, what Shiori Shinohara was fighting against was no longer Hisata or Ye Yue, but her own ideas.

Give up completely, or stay?

"Stop." In front of the wind band formation, Ogasa Suzukiko suddenly called a halt to the practice, and the activity room fell silent.

"Shinohara-san." Ogasa Suzuki called her name.

Shinohara Shiori, who was distracted, silently put the mouthpiece of the trumpet away and looked at Ogasa Suzukiko in front of her.

"You seem distracted." Ogasa Suzuki said, "Are you thinking about something?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ogasa."

"That--"

"I want to take a break."

"Eh? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Just take a break."

"..."

……

The meeting with Shiori Shinohara was still scheduled at that cafe, after all, there were other people at home.

"Um...Shiori."

When Hirakawa Tetsufumi arrived, Shinohara Shiori was already sitting there.

"Yes, Teacher Hirakawa." Miss Shinohara, who was sitting on the chair, raised her neck slightly. From his perspective, the girl's slender white neck between her collar was very pleasing to the eye.

Tetsuo Hirakawa stood in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled out the chair opposite Shinohara Shiori and sat down.

Some were silent, some didn't know how to speak.

Ever since the last quarrel with Shinohara Shiori, especially since this young lady has to go to school every day and is picked up by a special car on the way to school, Hirakawa Tetsufumi has little time or opportunity to say anything to her.

Things almost came to a standstill.

It was not until today that Shinohara Shiori finally responded to him and agreed to meet him.

But how should I start?

Shinohara Shiori solved this problem for him.

The first words of conversation between the two were spoken by Shinohara Shiori, who said:

"Teacher Hirakawa, I heard that Mr. Hisata and classmate Ye Yue have moved into your house."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi involuntarily lowered his eyes, avoiding Shinohara Shiori's gaze, and looked at the table before responding after a moment.

"……Yes."

"You didn't tell Shiori about this, it was Hazuki-san who told you."

"……I do not know how to describe."

"Yeah... most people really don't know how to tell their girlfriends about living with other girls." The calm voice was stinging, with a hint of sarcasm from Miss Shinohara.

"..." The irony was so true that Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't dare to look up.

Shinohara Shiori looked at Hirakawa, who was a long distance away from her, paused for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Teacher Hirakawa, you should still remember that Shiori is your girlfriend, right?"

"This kind of thing..."

"Then why are you so far away from Shiori?"

"..."

It is impossible to tell what Shinohara Shiori is thinking today from her delicate but calm face.

However, after responding, Tetsufumi Hirakawa quietly stood up and moved his chair next to Shinohara Shiori.

As soon as he sat down, the hand closest to the girl was naturally held by him, and her fingertips, with a slight coolness, touched his palm.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa grabbed the girl's hand.

"Shiori..." He didn't know what to say, but his eyes finally met hers and they no longer avoided each other.

"Teacher Hirakawa... tell Shiori about your ideas?" Shinohara Shiori said, holding his hand.

"Okay. About...?"

"How come you just told Shiori that you can't kiss because of Hisada-sensei, and then you turn around and join Hazuki-san?"

"..."

"Can't answer?"

"No." Tetsufumi Hirakawa shook his head.

"that is because?"

"..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi let out a breath of air that was heavy in his chest, and finally made up his mind to tell the truth, "At that time, because Hisata had just finished talking to me, she didn't want me to continue to degenerate... I didn't want to let her down."

"What about Hazuki-san?"
