I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

Hisada Moki sighed helplessly once again.

"Teacher Hirakawa, sometimes I really don't know what to do with you."

As she spoke, she opened the drawer and took out a small blue gift box.

"what is this?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's attention was immediately drawn to the box.

"you guess?"

Teacher Hisada suddenly shook the small box in her hand in a very girlish way, and a "clacking" sound came from the box.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi blinked.

"I guess it's a gift that Mr. Hisada bought when he returned from his vacation."

"Yes, who are you planning to give it to?" Hisata Masu asked as if she was keeping the secret.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi cooperated and began to guess: "It must be given to students, right?"

Hisada Masu covered the faint smile at the corner of her mouth with her hand and continued.

"If it was for a student, why would you take it out in front of Mr. Hirakawa now?"

"Because Mr. Hisata wants to see me being envious and jealous but unable to get what I want." Hirakawa Tetsufumi said with certainty.

"Eh?" Hisada Masu rolled up the ends of her hair with her hands. "That's too bad, isn't it?"

"Yeah, that's too bad."

"Unfortunately, I guessed wrong."

"guessed wrong?"

"Yeah, I guessed wrong."

"If it's not for students, then who is it for?" Hirakawa Tetsufumi fell into deep thought. "Damn, I can't think of it at all."

Hisada Masuki was amused by Hirakawa Tetsufumi's behavior and laughed softly again.

"Okay, Mr. Hirakawa, you are too exaggerated."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also started laughing, but stopped after a few seconds and continued to look shocked, which was quite exaggerated.

"Then, this, isn't it for me!?"

Hisada Masu glanced at him with a smile, then stopped smiling, cleared her throat, and spoke seriously.

"Teacher Pingchuan, you think too much. How is it possible?"

"!"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was heartbroken and looked like he couldn't accept it, "Isn't it?!"

"of course not."

Hisada Masu nodded.

"Teacher Hirakawa said before the holiday that people who travel at this time must be thinking too much. Just based on this statement, it is impossible for me to bring a gift to Teacher Hirakawa."

"..."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi was stunned for a moment, then stared at Hisada Masaki in surprise with his mouth slightly open, looking serious.

"..."

"…What's wrong?"

After being stared at for a long time, Hisada Moki gathered her hair in embarrassment.

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Hisata would still remember such things." After realizing what was happening, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was amazed.

Hisada Moki blushed for a moment, then became confident again.

"Hmph. I just hold a grudge like that. Mr. Hirakawa, what are you going to do?"

Hirakawa Tetsufumi bowed slightly and said, "I offer my most respectful tribute to your excellent memory."

"That's more like it..." Halfway through her speech, Hisada Maki finally couldn't hold back her laughter and bent over with laughter, "Okay, Mr. Hirakawa, that's enough."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi also laughed: "Okay, that's it. So, did Mr. Hisada really prepare a gift for me?"

"Of course." Standing up, Hisada Masuki nodded.

Then the female teacher reached out and handed the blue box in her hand to Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"Teacher Hirakawa, this is for you."

"That's great, thank you Mr. Hisata." Tetsufumi Hirakawa took it with both hands.

"You're welcome, but don't have too high expectations, it's just a small gift."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa responded while looking at the blue box: "As long as it's from Mr. Hisada, I'll be satisfied even if it's just a piece of paper."

“…Eh.” Hisada Masu didn’t know how to react and blinked cutely.

"Well, can I open it now?" Tetsuo Hirakawa asked Hisata Masaki, pinching the yellow ribbon on the box.

"of course can."

"Then I'll open it."

With a gentle pull, the bow on the box was untied.

After untying the bow and opening the box, the gift inside appeared in front of Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

It is a key pendant in the shape of a squatting white cat rubbing its round head with its hind paws.

"This is……"

"It looks a lot like the cat that Mr. Hirakawa picked up before, right?" Hisata Masu looked at his reaction expectantly.

"They are exactly the same." Tetsufumi Hirakawa picked up the key pendant, looked at it carefully, and gave a thumbs up to Hisata Masaki to show his approval.

"That's right. The first time I saw it in the store, I thought of Mr. Hirakawa's cat."

Masaki Hisada showed great joy at the thumbs-up from Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

"Teacher Hisada is really thoughtful."

"Yeah, it's okay."

He said it was okay, but his face showed a look of satisfaction.

"So, Mr. Pingchuan, are you still having a hard time on workdays after the holiday?" he asked like a little girl seeking credit.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi laughed again: "Don't even mention this workday. With this gift from Mr. Hisada, I will be full of energy on every workday this semester."

"Oh, that's too exaggerated."

"No exaggeration."

"Okay, Mr. Hirakawa. Can we start working now?"

"of course."

Chapter 76 Today's Victory: Amamiya wins

noon.

The bell rang and silence returned, marking the end of the last class of the morning.

It's lunch break time.

At this time, the students in the classroom were clearly divided into two categories.

The first type of students got up from their seats, walked out of the classroom and went to the cafeteria as soon as the teacher announced the end of get out of class.

The second type of students watched their classmates walk out of the classroom and slowly took out the lunch boxes they had prepared long ago from their backpacks.

Yes, based on their dining habits, the student group can be divided into two categories: cafeteria group and bento group.

As for Shinohara Shiori, she is a bento person.

Of course, such classification does not have much significance. It is just a difference in habits and family situations.

However, Shinohara Shiori glanced at Amemiya Yoru who was not far from her in front of her on the right.

She sat quietly in her seat and was also taking out her lunch box.

Being in the same category makes contact between Shinohara Shiori and Amamiya Yoru possible.

Not only that.

Shinohara Shiori looked around at the remaining students in the classroom.

Obviously, the remaining students in the classroom can be divided into two categories again according to the number of people.

Some students at the front tables turned around and placed their lunch boxes on the tables behind them. If they were at the left or right tables, they would put the tables together.

——They are advocates of collective life and will never let themselves be alone even for lunch.

In contrast, there was Shinohara Shiori and Amamiya Yoru who was sitting alone in her seat.

They are both the same, second-class students.

Of course there are differences. For Shiori Shinohara, living in seclusion is not something to be proud of. It is just her lifestyle habit and the social distance she sets.

As for Amamiya Ye——

Amemiya Yo, who was sitting in her seat, seemed to be aware of a certain gaze. She turned her head and met Shinohara Shiori's gaze.

She is a secret agent and will never associate with mortals.

But at least today, they may all make an exception.

"Amamiya-san, can we have lunch together today?"

Shinohara Shiori took the lunch box and walked to the empty seat right in front of Amamiya Ye, and asked Amamiya Ye facing her.

Amemiya Ye glanced at Shinohara Shiori, then lowered his head and silently moved his lunch box a little closer to himself.

During this time, she uttered a soft "hmm".

"That's good."

Shinohara Shiori said this, placed the lunch box on the half of the table left by Amamiya Yozora, and lifted and turned the front seat.

Then the two girls sat down, facing each other, and the silent atmosphere built a wall between them.

Whether it is Shinohara Shiori or Amamiya Yo, socializing is not something they are good at.

They were sitting together for another reason entirely.

Fortunately, in this regard, at least Shinohara Shiori is slightly better.

So after a long silence, Shinohara Shiori took the lead in speaking while looking at Amamiya Yo's lunch box.

"Amamiya-san, your bento looks really good."

"……Thanks."

Amemiya Ye sat stiffly in his seat, holding a chopstick in each hand, with only his lips and teeth lightly touching each other, making an inaudible sound.

"Did you do this yourself?"

"…It was prepared by my mother."

"That's it."

"……Um."

"..."

Amemiya Ye's answer seemed to be delayed by a huge network, and she responded a long time after Shinohara Shiori asked the question.

Shinohara Shiori took a look at Amamiya Yo's facial expression.

It's quite unnatural.

"Let's start eating."

After a delay of several seconds, Amemiya Ye nodded and said "hmm".

Then, she took the chopsticks in her right hand to her left hand, and after hesitating for a moment, she put the chopsticks in her left hand back to her right hand.
