No matter where you are, such a blatant threat to a teacher is definitely serious, let alone in Japan, where the concept of superiority and superiority is quite harsh.

So, at the moment when Shiori Shinohara's threat ended, the office fell into complete dead silence.

Everyone stopped making a sound, and in the center of their gaze, the girl bowed slowly.

"Teacher, I'm very sorry, but that's all I can do."

“……”

Is this the only way to do it?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless.

Conflicts between family members are often not caused by one party independently, and the conflict between Shinohara's mother and Shinohara is certainly also Shiori Shinohara's responsibility.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is quite convinced that there is definitely a problem with communication between them.

Two people with bad personalities collided together, and finally formed the current inexplicable situation.

The inner analysis flashed, and at this time, in the face of the threat of the eldest lady, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stared at Shiori Shinohara, who got up again, and spoke:

"Shinohara-san, do you know?"

"Teacher, please speak."

He smiled and continued, "Although I am not very competent, I have also studied the rules of the wind competition - the number of people in the field cannot exceed 55, but there is no rule that it must be 55, right?" ”

"......" Shiori Shinohara's face didn't look good.

"As the instructor of the wind club, I have the right to make suggestions on the roster for the national competition."

“……”

It is self-evident what the subtext is, and for this kind of problem student who threatens the teacher without authorization, the method used by Tetsufumi Hirakawa is to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth.

"Shinohara-san, you don't want to be able to watch your companions compete from the audience, do you?"

Ahh

However, the efficacy of the system is to be triggered by one's own initiative, and just saying the words cannot initiate hypnotic deterrence.

The current situation, of course, is not enough to use the system.

But the content of this sentence alone was enough to make the fifteen-year-old girl comply.

“……”

Shiori Shinohara's complexion in front of her was even worse.

The expressions of the other teachers in the office were also quite exciting, and the simple female teacher next to him looked at him with a look like "Mr. Hirakawa didn't expect you to be such a person".

Well, it seems that the image of the harmless teacher in the past is about to collapse.

However, this is only a temporary counterattack, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa is not interested in using low-end operations such as threats against a fifteen-year-old child.

He looked at the cold-faced girl in front of him, and finally spoke: "But don't worry, I won't do this." ”

Shiori Shinohara looked at him with a look of surprise on her face.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled helplessly.

"Shinohara-san, now you know what it's like to be threatened, right?"

If the student in front of him had been a boy, he would probably not hesitate to pick up a pen and tap him on the head.

It's a pity that it's a girl in front of me, and it's really hard to start if you want to knock.

So the pen in Tetsufumi Hirakawa's hand turned around with nowhere to put it: "It's not okay to threaten the teacher." ”

If he were threatened by others, he might have fought back, but the people who threatened him were his students, and he was not a competent teacher to compete with his own students.

If you are honored as "sir", you should do your job as "sir".

"Your wishes, I will convey to your mother."

After saying this, the girl immediately showed a rather surprised expression, as if she didn't hear it clearly, and wanted to confirm it again.

So Tetsufumi Hirakawa repeated it word by word.

"Regarding Shinohara-san, if you don't want to give up music, I will convey it clearly to your mother on your behalf." He said very seriously.

Shiori Shinohara was silent for a while, an incomprehensible look appeared on her face, and she shook her head: "...... Impossible, about-"

"Nothing is impossible."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa interrupted her words, "Although communication may not solve the problem, it is certainly impossible not to communicate. ”

"It's been a long time since Shinohara-san and his mother have communicated amicably, right?"

“……”

Silent.

It seems to be the default.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa showed an expression that was not surprised at all: "Since the will between Shinohara-san and his mother is difficult to convey, then as a teacher, I will convey it for you." ”

“……”

After a long silence, the girl looked at him.

"Teacher, if you do this, you're likely to be fired, right?"

“……”

The expression on Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face froze.

Shiori Shinohara is surprisingly thorough, and of course it may be because she knows her mother quite well.

"Even if it's not appropriate for me to say that, I'm going to say—"

"Shinohara-san, you have the same bad personality as your mother."

After hearing his complaint, the girl "fluttered" and laughed.

I dare to laugh.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa ignored the smile and continued, "However, of course, I have my own considerations. ”

"My willingness to convey my wishes on behalf of Shinohara-san does not mean that I am naturally 'on your side'."

"The choice between free will and reality is a complicated matter."

"Blindly ignoring reality or blindly restricting freedom, I personally think it is quite inappropriate."

"So whatever you want, or what your mother wants, I will convey it to you, in order to find a balance that is acceptable to both of you."

"What do you think?"

Shiori Shinohara bowed: "Thank you, Mr. Hirakawa." ”

"That's what a teacher should do."

"How do you convey that?"

"I'll find time to visit my home and interview Shinohara's mother."

"But, Mr. Hirakawa, although I mean to stand by and watch by this, I may not be able to do anything about the home visit."

"What do you mean?"

——

As Shiori Shinohara said, the condescending mother, who is unwilling to listen to her children's voices, may not have any intention of negotiating at all. Even Shinohara Shiori came forward to no avail.

I don't know how many times I called, but all I got was the assistant "Mr. Hirakawa, I'll report this kind of thing to the boss", and then there was no news like a stone.

And, at next week's meeting, he received a warning from the principal, and of course it should be a warning from Shinohara's mother.

After all, the principal is just an extension of Shinohara's mother's will.

The warning reads as follows:

"Mr. Hirakawa, please do your job well."

Job...... Is it?

It's kind of ironic.

At the same time, the third semester is almost over. It's getting closer and closer to the deadline set by Shinohara's mother, before the start of the second year of high school.
