I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also held his hand tightly.

"If you want to hear it, just say it directly."

"Then Shiori wants to hear it."

"..."

"What's wrong?" Shinohara Shiori looked at Hirakawa Tetsufumi who suddenly paused.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled at him and said, "Well, it's so sudden, I'm still a little overwhelmed... well... I like Shiori."

"Teacher Pingchuan's tone is too calm."

"You don't have to be so strict, right?"

Miss Shinohara remained noncommittal.

In the end, before walking into the busy streets of the summer festival, all she left for Tetsufumi Hirakawa was his handsome profile and the slightly curved rosy lips.

……

The next sentence was among the crowd, and the girl next to him was staring at the stalls on the street that belonged to the summer festival.

"Teacher Hirakawa, do you remember this time last year?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa followed Miss Shinohara's gaze and saw an air gun stall.

"Of course I remember. The only thing I have no doubt about is my memory."

"So, what about the rabbit that Mr. Hirakawa shot?"

"..."

"Hmm?" Shinohara Shiori withdrew her reminiscing gaze and stared at him in silence.

“Well…how should I put it…”

"Forgot? Lost?"

"How can it be."

"That?"

"Last year... I put it in the cabinet after it ended, and I don't think I've ever taken it out." After weighing the pros and cons for a few seconds, Tetsufumi Hirakawa told the truth.

"..."

The girl's eyes spoke.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi quickly assured: "I'll take it out when I get back."

Miss Shinohara let him go for the time being.

She took his hand and walked towards the air rifle booth.

……

I never expected that even though I was so lost last year as if in a dream, this year is not as good as last year in terms of air guns.

I didn't pay attention to how many times she hit him, but I knew it was inevitable. When Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Shiori Shinohara walked out of the crowd surrounding the stall, the only thing the girl was holding in her hand was a gray cartoon wolf doll.

】

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the wolf doll in the young lady's hand.

"Teacher Hirakawa, what's wrong?" Holding the doll, Shinohara Shiori noticed his gaze and looked up at him.

"Well..." Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked away from the doll, "So why is it a wolf?"

"Because wolves eat rabbits."

"…I am a wolf?"

"Shiori is a wolf." Shiori Shinohara said it seriously. She raised the doll in her hand and pounced on Hirakawa with the wolf's mouth. "Teacher Hirakawa is a rabbit."

"..."

"Teacher Hirakawa was eaten by Shiori."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at his arm bitten by the cartoon wolf doll, and for a moment, he couldn't help laughing.

"what."

Miss Shinohara also laughed, but that light smile was much more beautiful than Hirakawa's rough smile.

"Then I'll leave this at Shiori's house."

Finally, she stopped laughing, Shinohara Shiori held the wolf in her hand, and said very seriously.

"Okay." Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

"Teacher Hirakawa, remember to let the rabbit out."

"definitely."

"..."

"Why is Mr. Hirakawa always looking at Shiori?" Shiori Shinohara noticed that his gaze never moved away.

After being discovered, Tetsufumi Hirakawa's eyes overlapped with the girl's, and he still did not look away.

"Because I feel like Shiori is a little different today."

"no the same?"

"Yes."

"What's the difference?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi lowered his head slightly and bit the girl's cheek.

"It's cute in a different way."

"..."

Shinohara Shiori silently turned her face to the side, and with one hand, wiped the saliva on her cheek onto the yukata on the arm of Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

After wiping, he simply didn't let go, holding his arm with his cheek against the arm.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi laughed again and continued forward with the girl.

……

The next stop was a shaved ice stand.

"Shiori." Hirakawa Tetsufumi watched the stall owner skillfully making shaved ice, paused and said, "Do you know what I'm thinking of now?"

Shinohara Shiori leaned against Hirakawa Tetsufumi's arm, raised it and took a look, then the corners of her mouth curved into the same smile as Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

She lowered her mouth.

"What did Mr. Hirakawa think of?"

"I thought of choosing the flavor myself." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said, pursing his lips.

"Teacher Hirakawa, do you want to eat shaved ice? Shiori wants it too... Shiori wants..." Miss Shinohara said to herself.

"Stop." Tetsufumi Hirakawa called for a stop.

"Ok?"

"You can choose your own flavor," Tetsufumi Hirakawa emphasized again.

"Shiori is choosing a flavor... Shiori wants... um... strawberry flavor is fine."

"Is it strawberry flavored?" The owner behind the stall said to Miss Shinohara.

"Ah."

"Then I'll have... mango." Hirakawa Tetsufumi also said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, both guests."

The shaved ice machine roared, and the crystal shaved ice fell and piled up in the cup.

The boss operated skillfully and finally poured red strawberry jam on it.

"Okay." The boss handed the strawberry-flavored shaved ice to Shinohara Shiori.

"Okay." Tetsufumi Hirakawa reached out to take it.

"..."

The boss looked at him, then looked at Shinohara Shiori, and then looked at him again.

Shinohara Shiori laughed softly, and Hirakawa Tetsufumi took the shaved ice, his face unchanged, and just said, "There's also a bowl of mango flavor."

"..."

After a final puzzled look, the boss started operating the machine again.

The mango-flavored shaved ice was quickly ready. After hesitating for a moment, he handed the bowl to Tetsufumi Hirakawa again.

"This is……"

"It's Shiori." Shinohara Shiori reached out to take it.

"..."

When they finally paid and left, Tetsufumi Hirakawa saw the boss looking at them both in confusion.

"Teacher Hirakawa, you got the wrong one. The strawberry flavor should be Shiori's, and the mango flavor is yours." Turning back, Shinohara Shiori seemed to say to him seriously.

The corners of his mouth were clearly slightly raised, revealing a smile.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also pretended to be serious.

"Did you take the wrong one? No? The mango flavor is indeed mine...just wait," he said.

Just as he finished speaking, the sound of the radio rang in his ears.

"The fireworks festival is about to begin. Tourists who want to watch, please go to ..."

The broadcast was repeated several times.

Tetsuo Hirakawa was looking at Shiori Shinohara, and Miss Shinohara was also looking at him.

Afterwards, the crowd, which had been quiet for a while because of the broadcast, became noisy again, and the stagnant footsteps started again, but in a different direction.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Shiori Shinohara laughed together.

"Then let's go." When he stopped laughing, Tetsufumi Hirakawa held Shinohara Shiori's hand.

"Yeah." The girl leaned on his shoulder.

The fireworks display is about to begin.

Chapter 343 Towards the End - Shinohara (Part )

"Is Mr. Hirakawa accompanying Shiori this summer?"

"When?"

"every day."

"..."

"——I really want to say that, but Mr. Hirakawa probably can't do it, right?"

Faced with Shinohara Shiori suddenly turning around and staring at him with her questioning, all Hirakawa Tetsufumi could do was smile awkwardly.

Shinohara Shiori sighed softly.
