I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

"…Eh, how could that be?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa curled the corners of his mouth.

Hisada Masuki stared at him without saying a word.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa subtly glanced away, just like a student in class who subtly looked at the air when the teacher called on him to ask a question.

"how to say……"

"That's it anyway." Before she had time to explain, Hisada Masaki came to the conclusion with certainty.

“…Okay, okay.”

Seeing that he could no longer cover it up, Tetsufumi Hirakawa raised one-third of the French flag.

"I've got this in mind, Mr. Hisata. I'll be careful next time when I make excuses."

"Who asked Mr. Hirakawa to pay attention to this--" Hisada Masu wanted to laugh but held it back, "I asked Mr. Hirakawa to stop making excuses."

"I can't do it." Tetsufumi Hirakawa responded immediately.

"Eh? Why?"

"Because it's very funny, especially when Hisada-sensei takes it seriously." Tetsufumi Hirakawa said sincerely.

Really, when I see the innocent female teacher's believing eyes, I feel very happy inside.

But obviously this kind of happiness is built on the troubles of others.

Hisada Masuki stared at him.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi stared back.

After a long time, the female teacher finally couldn't help but curled up the corners of her mouth and laughed.

"Teacher Hirakawa, why do you make me sound like a child?"

"There's no difference, they're both cute."

Hisada Moki blushed, turned around unbearably and looked at her desk.

"Teacher Pingchuan, it's okay. You just said this morning that you have to work hard."

"Okay, I understand."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi glanced at Hisada Masu's slightly blushing face with amusement.

This young female teacher is really cute.

Then he turned around, picked up the red pen on the table, and began to carefully correct the students' holiday homework.

By the time I finished grading the homework, the sky outside the window had already taken on the color of evening.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa dropped his pen, leaned back on the chair, looked out the window, stretched his knuckles, and pressed his sore neck.

The light blue sky gradually turned gray and the sunlight also changed color.

Hisata Moki, who was standing beside him, was influenced by his action. She first looked up at him, and then looked at the sky outside the window as he did.

Finally, in the reflection of the setting sun, the female teacher slowly picked up the cup, took a sip of the tea that should have already gone cold, and went back to work.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa also looked away and checked his phone. It was now 5:30.

It's time for him to go to the wind section.

Chapter 78 Shinohara Shiori is absent-minded

The light of the setting sun shone on the clean and reflective door of the activity room and reflected into Tetsuo Hirakawa's eyes.

A familiar sound of playing came from behind the door.

He pushed open the door of the activity room.

The sound suddenly became larger and clearer in my ears.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi glanced at the students who were looking at him because of the action of opening the door, and then looked in the direction of Ogasa Suzukiko.

He smiled at her gradually surprised look, walked to her side, and waved his hand, indicating that she should not mind him.

Ogasa Suzukiko understood, nodded, stopped looking at him, and began to conduct the somewhat messy music again.

"Everyone, be serious and don't let the slightest noise distract you. During a live performance, there will be many audiences in the audience. If you focus on anything other than playing, it won't work."

“When you are playing, you should devote your whole heart to it and not be easily disturbed.”

"Xiaohao, is this Shinohara-san? Your breath is disordered."

"..."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at Shinohara Shiori in the audience.

Although he had attended the class only a few times and the sample size was too small, he did not intend to count it accurately. He just wanted to share his thoughts - this was the first time that Tetsufumi Hirakawa heard Shinohara Shiori being mentioned by Ogasa Suzukiko.

What seemed to have happened to this girl?

Feeling the girl's gaze sweeping over him, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was a little confused.

What's going on here?

Moreover, I always feel that there is a little bit of resentment in the way Shinohara Shiori looks at him.

Illusion?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa scratched his left arm with his right hand, and he still felt a little sense of danger.

The words of Amamiya Yoru before also unconsciously emerged in my mind: "Shinohara-san must have killed dozens of people."

"..."

Stop, what on earth is he thinking about?

Clearing his mind of random thoughts, Tetsufumi Hirakawa began to listen carefully to the performance of the wind orchestra.

Today is the first practice after returning from the training camp, or the first regular practice after Group B withdrew.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at the students who were practicing and saw that there were obviously many fewer people, so he counted them.

When I took it, I found there were only 50 people.

50 people?Except for the 12 people in group b, are there any other students who are not here?

He frowned, but turned his head to look at Ogasa Suzukiko who was still giving instructions seriously, and decided not to disturb her for the time being.

I waited quietly, and the melody in my ears continued to ring until six o'clock as I corrected and started again and again.

At this time, Ogasa Suzuki looked at her watch and was about to announce the end of today's practice, but was interrupted by Hirakawa Tetsufumi.

"Teacher Ogasa." He called her.

"Hmm? Mr. Hirakawa, what's wrong?" Ogasa Suzukiko stopped preparing to announce and looked at him.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked closer: "There is something I want to discuss with Mr. Ogasa."

"Hmm..." Ogasa Suzukiko blinked curiously, then raised her gold-rimmed glasses, "Teacher Hirakawa, please go ahead."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi hesitated for a moment and asked Ogasa Suzuki softly, "Teacher Ogasa, do you think it's too early to end the wind band practice at six o'clock?"

"Eh?" Ogasa Suzuki was stunned by the question. "Is it too early?"

"We have decided to strive for the national gold medal," Tetsufumi Hirakawa reminded her.

“……” Ogasa Suzuki looked at her watch again and fell into deep thought.

The students in the audience looked at the two of them with curiosity.

However, among these looks... there are three that are completely different from the others.

Shinohara Shiori's gaze held an indescribable feeling.

There were also Takao Douji and Inaba Fumio. After they looked at each other, they looked at Ogasa Suzukiko and Hirakawa Tetsufumi as if they were monitoring them.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi felt quite uncomfortable with this kind of gaze and glanced in the direction of the students, but couldn't find the source.

He had no choice but to calm down again and face Ogasa Suzukiko who was looking at him.

"Teacher Hirakawa." Ogasa Suzuki seemed to have figured it out.

"Well, please go ahead. I want to hear Mr. Ogasa's opinion."

"It seems a little too early, but..." Ogasa Suzukiko's voice gave people a feeling of lack of confidence, "How about asking the students for their opinions?"

"Yeah, that's fine." Hirakawa Tetsufumi agreed, "Then extend it to seven o'clock?"

"Well...I'll listen to Mr. Hirakawa."

"Ok."

Turn around and face the students' gaze.

"Fellow students."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi spoke, and waited until the whispers on the field died down before continuing.

"After discussing with Mr. Ogasa, we think that it is a bit too early for the wind band to practice until 6 o'clock. Therefore, we decided to extend the practice time of the wind band to o'clock in the evening starting from tomorrow. What do you think?"

There was a deep silence as the students began to digest the news.

After waiting for a few seconds, until he realized what was going on, he began to look around to see how other people reacted.

until--

"Our goal is to get the national gold medal, and I also think our practice time is too short."

The Minister raised her hand and expressed her opinion.

“I support the extension.”

After the minister spoke, several students quickly began to express their opinions.

"support."

"agree."

“It should be extended.”

"..."

At this time, Tetsuo Hirakawa saw Shinohara Shiori who seemed to be distracted, so he raised his hand and said indifferently that he agreed.

There was something wrong with this girl today. Normally, she would definitely be the first to agree, and he had already told her about this matter before.

He glanced at Shinohara Shiori, some guesses flashed through his mind, and then looked back at the students who were expressing their opinions in a miscellaneous manner.

"Students, stop for a moment."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa shouted.

The scene gradually fell silent.

"Just a show of hands. Those who agree to extend the period, please raise your hands."

In a flash, he raised one-third of his hand.

Then, the remaining third was raised a beat later.

Finally, everyone raised their hands one after another.

Passed unanimously, with no objections.

It seems that the training was not in vain. This is the wind band after the sound was unified. If it were in the past or now, there would definitely be objections.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi took a quick look, nodded, and announced with satisfaction.

"Okay, everyone, put it down. Then, starting tomorrow, the wind band's practice time will be extended to seven o'clock."

After saying that, Tetsufumi Hirakawa took a step back.

Ogasa Suzukiko reacted and followed suit.

"That's it. Please communicate with your parents. Well, today's practice will be over. Goodbye, everyone."

"Goodbye, Mr. Ogasa."

Amid the farewells, the students stood up and began to organize their musical instruments.

The matter was over, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at Shinohara Shiori who seemed absent-minded.
