I am a teacher at a girls' school in Tokyo

It's already 13:50.

"Let's go."

After casually saying something to Shinohara Shiori behind him, Hirakawa Tetsufumi walked into the door of the concert hall first.

The sound of light rain immediately disappeared from my ears, replaced by the sounds of conversation between students.

However, the noise didn't last long. After seeing him, the students gradually quieted down. And, as expected, Hirakawa Tetsufumi was soon overwhelmed by the gazes of the students who turned their heads to look at him.

"..."

The frequency of his appearance in the wind band can be seen from the students' reactions. If he appeared more frequently, these students would not look at him with the expression "Oh, I almost forgot that the wind band has an instructor".

Also, the Shinohara Shiori behind him also had a look that implied criticism and dissatisfaction, like "Teacher Hirakawa..."

There is no doubt that this feeling of being on edge is real.

This is Miss Shinohara's resentment - um... why does this sentence sound as if the lady has turned into some kind of ghost, so let's take it back.

Just like that, accepting the students' attention at the door, after a moment, a polite smile appeared on Hirakawa Tetsufumi's face.

"Good afternoon, classmates."

The voice echoed, and then, realizing that they had been staring for too long, the gazes of the students receded like the tide. Hirakawa Tetsufumi also turned around with a slight sigh and walked to the side where Ogasa Suzukiko was.

Maybe we really need to visit the wind orchestra more often in the future, otherwise the students in the wind orchestra will always look at their instructor as if they were strangers, which is obviously not normal.

While making up his mind, which was definitely not the first time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa came in front of Ogasa Suzukiko.

The petite teacher Ogasa was not wearing glasses. She was holding her iconic gold-framed glasses in her hands, and was using a glasses cloth to wipe the lenses that were stained with water droplets in the rain.

But obviously, she was interrupted by Tetsufumi Hirakawa who suddenly came in when she was halfway through wiping, so a few conspicuous drops of water could still be seen on one of the lenses of the glasses in her hand.

only……

Teacher Ogasa did have the potential to be a natural idiot. When he saw him approaching, he squinted his eyes dazedly and put on the huge gold-framed glasses on his palm-sized face.

"Teacher Pingchuan, why are you here today?" After putting on glasses, he opened his eyes wide to face the clear world and a welcoming smile appeared on his face.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at the left lens of Ogasa Suzukiko, on which there was obviously rain that had not been wiped off.

"Mr. Ogasa, as the instructor of the wind band, it's normal for me to come."

"Eh?"

However, after saying this, Ogasa Suzukiko showed an expression of serious thought, and her eyes behind the lenses reflected a puzzled look, but then she reacted and nodded slightly.

"I almost forgot, Mr. Hirakawa is the instructor."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hirakawa Tetsufumi looked at Ogasa Suzukiko without any pretense...

Ok.

If it was Shinohara Shiori, this would be a real irony. But Mr. Ogasa is just an idiot.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi smiled helplessly, skipped the topic, and focused his eyes on the left lens of Ogasa Suzukiko again, reminding her: "Teacher Ogasa, glasses."

"Glasses?"

"It's not clean."

"..."

Ogasa Suzukiko reacted blankly for a few seconds, then exclaimed "Eh", took off her glasses, and wiped the lenses that were still stained with water droplets with the glasses cloth that was still in her hand.

"No wonder it feels weird."

After putting on her glasses again, Ogasa Suzukiko lifted the frames embarrassedly.

"..."

In fact, the water droplets on the lens are still very obvious. Although Tetsufumi Hirakawa is not nearsighted, it can be imagined that normally one would notice the water droplets the first time such lenses are worn.

I can only say that Mr. Ogasa is indeed a bit naive.

Then, the brief greetings ended.

During the rest of the time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sat in a corner of the concert hall as an instructor, quietly watching the wind orchestra practice and listening attentively.

Whether it is the familiar piece of music "Forest Under the Blue Sky" or another one - two pieces of music need to be played in the wind instrument competition. One is a few topic songs proposed by the question-setting group. Moritani chose one of them, "Forest Under the Blue Sky". The other is a free song selected by himself. Moritani chose "March of the Blue Sky and White Clouds".

A song that sounds quite passionate just by the name.

The same is true.

As the rain suddenly got heavier in the middle of the concert, the notes of the wind band's practice filled the concert hall, easily covering up the sound of the rain in their ears.

In a trance, in this small place, the weather was changed, and the gloomy sky was replaced by a clear sky.

Until the end of playing, the quiet concert hall could only hear a little rain from outside through the walls with good sound insulation, which reminded people that this was a dreary rainy day.

The sounds of these practices, interlaced with the voice of Ogasa Suzukiko's guidance, continued from two in the afternoon until seven in the evening.

At the end of the performance, amidst the bright lights filling the concert hall, Ogasa Suzukiko's soft voice rang in my ears.

"Today's practice ends here. See you tomorrow, everyone."

When I pushed open the door of the concert hall, the rain was still falling, but it had become lighter again, and the sound of the rain turned into a tiny rustling sound that appeared in my ears.

Through the lights in the corridor, I looked at the raindrops occasionally illuminated by the lights in the dark night outside. When I looked away, I found that Shinohara Shiori was standing beside me somehow.

"Student Shinohara."

Hirakawa Tetsufumi turned around and took a look.

"Yes, Mr. Hirakawa."

After a hard afternoon of practice, even the dignified young lady Shinohara Shiori's delicate face looked a little tired under the light. Her lips, which had been constantly blowing the trumpet, also looked a little dull.

The wind orchestra is indeed a very hard-working club.

"Are you ok?"

"no problem."

“Practicing is really hard.”

"This is the daily routine of the wind orchestra now, Mr. Hirakawa."

"Ah."

The two of them chatted slowly as they walked forward, through the corridor and into the stairs.

"Teacher Hirakawa." Shinohara Shiori spoke again.

"what happened?"

"You didn't slack off during today's practice, did you?"

"…What kind of question is that? You should ask - 'Did you pay close attention to today's practice?' or something like that, instead of asking directly if you were lazy."

After a moment of silence, Tetsufumi Hirakawa corrected what the girl next to him said.

"It's all the same."

"No, this way of asking seems to associate me with laziness."

Shinohara Shiori flicked her long hair and said, "Whether there is a hook or not, Mr. Hirakawa should know it himself."

"Absolutely not." Tetsufumi Hirakawa did not admit such a thing.

"Hmm..." He agreed casually.

"..."

There was a moment of silence, and then Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed weakly.

"Shinohara-san, you say you respect me the most, but in reality you don't respect me at all."

A light smile suddenly appeared on Shinohara Shiori's tired face. She pursed her lips and replied, "Teacher Hirakawa, in this regard, we should respect the facts more."

"..."

"So, Mr. Hirakawa, did you slack off during today's practice?"

“…No.”

"Regarding the question of the wind orchestra——"

"Is Shinohara-san acting as an examiner?"

"Shiori is supervising Mr. Hirakawa."

"...Okay, okay." Tetsufumi Hirakawa was indeed a little helpless.

Miss Shinohara is quite serious.

"However, speaking of the issue regarding the wind orchestra, it is a bit too early to draw a conclusion based on just one viewing. Let's wait and see."

"Ok."

Shinohara Shiori nodded slightly.

The voices stopped, and they walked slowly down the stairs and into the night, until they parted at the school gate long after.

Chapter 114: The Willful Young Lady, the Puzzle of the Wind Ensemble

What exactly is wrong with the wind ensemble?

We have clearly united our voices before and set the goal of winning the national gold medal together. What problems could arise now?

When he heard the news from Shinohara Shiori, Tetsufumi Hirakawa did think about this issue seriously.

Moreover, on Saturday afternoon, I also observed carefully from the side.

As for whether he saw anything...

All he can say is that he had a vague feeling about it, but he might need to confirm what it was specifically.

Miss Shinohara really left him with a difficult problem - although it seemed that the student probably knew what the problem was, otherwise he wouldn't have said that.

However, if she didn't intend to tell him actively, Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't intend to ask just like that.

"Since Shinohara knows where the problem lies, there is no need for the teacher to spend time looking for it" - this kind of statement is a bit irresponsible.

Because it is his responsibility, not the student's.

And just like the girl said, he is now making amends for his mistakes.

The most important thing is, this is actually the little willfulness of this young lady, right?

She could have told him the answer directly, but she didn't do so and insisted that he fulfill his teacher's duties himself. This was obviously the willfulness of this young lady.

That day, under the setting sun after school, the girl who said "I'm angry at Shiori" was indeed angry because of his previous inaction.

Therefore, in order to appease this "angry young lady" and satisfy the student's willfulness, I should work hard to fulfill my duties as an instructor.

It was still raining on Sunday afternoon.

The hazy rain curtain separates people and blurs the distance between them.

And in the mist that was like a veil, Tetsufumi Hirakawa saw a slightly familiar figure at the school gate.

He stepped forward.

-

Ogasa Suzuki raised her left hand and glanced at the ladies' watch on her wrist.

It is now 13:46.

There's plenty of time to walk from here to the wind section.

It's great that I won't be late after jogging all the way here.

Thinking of this, Ogasa Suzuki's steps, which used to leave a trail of water with every step she took, finally calmed down.

In a happy mood, she hummed a song softly. At the same time, she grabbed the umbrella pole with her left hand and started to turn the umbrella handle with both hands.

The umbrella began to rotate.
