Perhaps, standing here and looking into the future, they will get the answer (Part I)

Today's weather is a little warmer than the previous day, the campus is once again a little more energetic, and during the lunch break all kinds of more energetic noise fills the whole campus, according to the usual practice, I should be in the same place at this time silently holding a store-bought white bread with coffee.

It's a little shabby, but it's my best lunch. In addition to eliminating the feeling of fasting, it is also an effective way to replenish sugar, after all, efficiency is paramount - yes, if it is normal...

At this time, in a corner of the teacher's office, completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the campus, I was called here irrefutably as soon as the bell rang.

[So, what do you have to say, Hikiya?]

Hiratsuka-sensei—sitting in a chair with a document in his hand, slowly turning to look at me, already with a warm and angry tone underneath his calm expression, as if waiting for my explanation—or.. It's waiting for an opportunity to beat me up.

[To be said... Isn't it more effective to ask under the snow than to ask me?

"Ministry of Service Scrap Application", this is the document she is holding in her hand, and it is also the reason why I am here at this time. Rather, this is also in line with the person's approach, existence - not accidental, there must be a corresponding reason for existence, but if that reason disappears for some reason, there is no need to exist.. For example, in a society that loses bad people, the police will lose their jobs, and the ronin samurai who were popular in the past have gradually disappeared after entering the modern society, and the so-called existence is just such a fragile thing...

[Hah...]

There was a long sigh in the office, and Mr. Hiratsuka's long sigh made me take back some distraction, she threw the documents on the desk casually, looked at me seriously, and then squinted at the documents on the desktop,

[Although I know so...] But you should also know that, right? If you ask directly under the snow, you won't get any answer... And, do you dare to guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with you?]

[In other words, you have already determined that I will speak, so you called me here...] It's really nice to be labeled as easy to talk to...]

[Hawkers, there's always some unexpected reason, right?] ]

Without hesitation, he interrupted me, exhaled lightly, slowly took out the lady's cigarette and lighter from the pocket of his coat, lit it, and then took a sharp puff, saying as he exhaled white smoke that should not be in the school

[Did something happen that had to be disbanded?]

[... Ah, probably.]

[Let's hear it.] ]

She turned her chair back and picked up the application again with one hand, her breathing slowly becoming heavy as she gently picked up a cigarette in the other.

[I... And Yang Nai, in the relationship. ]

Although I wanted to stop halfway, it was only a brief hesitation, and when it came to the reason... That's all there is to it, although if you use your brain, you may be able to come up with some good excuses and other words, and you may be able to delay a little time, but in the end, can you bury the facts?

I don't think I have the ability to completely deny the facts, and I know that no one else does. So, if you can get the final answer directly, why not just say it... That's what I thought.

But not everyone thinks this way, and when faced with an answer that they don't like, or that they don't expect, they often choose to hide, evade, or try to change the answer that has already become a fact. In the end, nothing changed except for more pain.

Cinderella's story only exists in fairy tales, where there is no magic and no witches.

My answer didn't bring the same huge reaction as I imagined - Hiratsuka-sensei just smoked silently until the crimson spark had burned to the base of the cigarette holder, and then slowly threw it into the ashtray stored in the table box on the right.

[Isn't there any other reason for that?]

He didn't look at me, just asked silently.

[I don't know, but that's probably the main reason.]

[Is this your judgment.] I know, for the rest, I'll go and ask the other side under the snow alone.]

With that, she turned around again, tilted her head slightly, and looked at me with a little confusion

[By the way, what about Yubihama?]

[What?]

[Regarding the application for the abolition of the ministry.] Have you checked with her?

[Should... I didn't know until you called me..]

I answered with some uncertainty and half guessing, because this application seems to have been sent in before class this morning, so there shouldn't be much time... Of course, it is not ruled out that they may use mobile phones to communicate, but no matter what... I don't know anything about it.

[In other words, it was her own decision..]

As if thinking of something, a smile appeared on Hiratsuka-sensei's face, and then he shook his head gently to regain his composure, glanced at me, and suddenly showed a sharp look

[Well, while this is off-topic, but.] Are you really dating Yangna?]

[There's no way I'm kidding with my life..]

[... Also, sorry. ]

After staring at me for a moment, he finally withdrew his gaze from me, and gave a rare apology, with an unpredictable chuckle

[Yono... If you think about it, only she can do this kind of thing.Okay, it's okay, you can go back first, as for this application... I will make a decision after a thorough understanding of the situation]

After being ordered to be evicted, he saluted and walked out of the office, closing the door, and couldn't help but sigh

[Hah... Hungry. ]

[It's only noon to let out such a desperate sigh.] If you can, please keep your breath within half a meter, it will spread the plague. ]

As soon as I went out, there was an unspeakable voice next to me - even if you don't have to look at it, you can know who the owner of the voice is, no... Even if you just listen to the content, you can know.

Following the prestige, a shadow appeared, leaning against the snow on the wall on the left side of the office, arms folded, and looking straight at me as I looked over.

Is it accidental.. It can't be.. But..

[... What are you doing here?

I asked the most direct question.

I didn't linger too much on the unnutritious topic I had before, and I bowed my head lightly under the snow, confirming my suspicions. After straightening up, I glanced at the office behind me

[By Hihama... Is it still inside?]

[I'm the only one called.]

[I'm not in the classroom either, do you know where she went?

[Don't you think it's strange to ask me this question...]

Although it is true that the class is in the same classroom, it is true... However, if I'm usually in the class, I basically don't have much to do with that guy, let alone yesterday...

[Let's go to the activity room, I have something to say.] ]

Without waiting for me to think about it, I dropped the sentence under the snow and walked out first, as if I was sure that I would definitely follow.
