Ever since he returned from the wind club yesterday, Tetsufumi Hirakawa has been thinking about what he can do.

"Tell her that Tetsufumi Hirakawa disagrees with her suggestion" sounds majestic - I think - but it may actually be as small as Ogasa-sensei's voice.

What should be done or what, just saying it like this will not stop anything at all.

So, there has to be a way to do it.

"So what's the solution?"

Rushed into the principal's office, pointed to his nose and said, "Principal, you don't want the media to know about the school's bullying of students, do you?" ”

- Is that so?

Well...... Although this unfolding is a bit strange, it is possible that Tetsufumi Hirakawa would actually do it if it worked.

It's a pity that it doesn't work at all, after all, the headmaster is only an "accomplice".

And if you really want to do this, the school can completely prevaricate with reasons such as family conflicts:

"The school fully took into account the opinions and suggestions of parents, and only then did it think that Shinohara's students were not suitable to continue to stay in the department."

The reason is quite legitimate, because in essence, it is really a family conflict, but this family is more special.

So in the final analysis, the problem is still with Shinohara's mother, and if you don't solve her, it won't work at all.

However...... Solve Shinohara's mother.,It's easy to say, but in fact, I can't see me at all.,The phone is answered by an assistant.。

It seems that there is no solution-

Of course not.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa doesn't think it's a helpless situation, it's just that the risk is a bit big.

"Mr. Kuda."

In the seat of the office, Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who had made up his mind, turned his head and accosted Maki Kuda.

The young female teacher, who was seriously grading her homework, raised her head: "Huh? What happened to Mr. Hirakawa? ”

"I've been bothering you for a long time." Quite sincerely.

"Huh?"

Such a sudden topic obviously failed to react.

But Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't say anything more, just smiled gently.

It's like you're giving your last words, but that's it.

So the confused Kuda Moshu had no choice but to re-mark the homework with a troubled face.

"What the hell is this guy talking about?" Or "You don't want me to get water again, do you?" ”

I guess that's what I'm talking about.

……

After the end of the club activities in the afternoon, at the door of the wind club, when the students were almost finished, Tetsufumi Hirakawa waited for Shiori Shinohara, who had stayed behind very tacitly.

"Mr. Hirakawa, do you have something to say to me?"

"That's right, but unfortunately there is no reward."

"What an old-fashioned statement."

“…… Is that so? ”

was actually complained about.

In the hallway, Tetsufumi Hirakawa faced Shiori Shinohara and sighed helplessly.

"Let's talk as we go."

"Okay."

So, at this point in time when the sunset on the horizon gradually disappeared, the footsteps of the two sounded one after the other. Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked ahead, and Shiori Shinohara followed behind him.

"Shinohara-san."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was silent for a while, thinking about how to speak, finally spoke.

"Hmm."

Shiori Shinohara in the back replied unhurriedly.

"I want to ask Shinohara-san a question for you, is Shinohara-san's mother at home?"

"Now?"

"Yes."

"You can get home later."

"In other words, if I visit now, I can meet Shinohara-san's mother, right?"

“…… Mr. Hirakawa. ”

"Huh?"

"If you try to assassinate my mother with your weak body, you will be pushed to the ground by the bodyguards before you can make a move."

“……？”

What is this person talking about?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's footsteps stopped, and he looked back in surprise to see Shiori Shinohara's pensive face.

"So, before you start, you must think about it—"

"No, you won't do such a thing anyway, will you?"

"Won't it? Mr. Hirakawa's momentum just now made me mistakenly think that I was going to do such a thing. ”

“…… Are you kidding? ”

"Hmm."

“……”

The serious appearance really made him believe it.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't know what to say, turned his head and walked forward again.

"It's just a home visit."

"Home visits...... I guess Mr. Hirakawa didn't get in touch with my mother. ”

"Then I won't be in touch."

"Is that really good?"

"So be it."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked relaxed and indifferent.

There was no topic, so the two of them got off the activity room building and slowly walked to the shoe cabinet. After changing my shoes, I walked in the direction of the school gate.

The setting sun is slanting on the horizon, and the glow of the sun spills through the clouds. The surrounding students were either walking slowly or making noise and going home.

The shadows under his feet are stretched into the distance and staggered.

The shouting on the playground was scattered and deserted.

The sound of footsteps in my ears melted into the wind.

The student behind him suddenly spoke.

"Hirakawa-sensei."

"What's wrong?"

"You do this...... You're going to be fired, right? ”

Abruptly spoke, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile:

"It's just a home visit, how can you be fired. Shinohara-san thinks too much. ”

Obviously, Shiori Shinohara said so, but Shiori Shinohara still spoke to herself.

"As long as you say 'harassing students' parents without permission', not only will the teacher be fired, but with such a stain, it will be difficult to find a job in the future, right?"

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa fell silent for a moment.

I was actually seen through.

Shiori Shinohara is not wrong, but in fact, you can know it from the perspective of the principal.

The troublesome things of the chairman of the school board were not handled, and the stunned young man under his command still ran to people's homes to confront him face to face.

And I was warned before that "trouble doing my job".

His situation is called repeated teaching. No matter how you look at such a subordinate, you will be dismissed.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa can say with certainty that if Shinohara's mother had not been persuaded today, Shiori Shinohara's words would have come true.

"Teacher, you don't have to do this."

"Why not?"

"Think about the consequences before you act."

This phrase is somewhat familiar.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced back and saw a worried look in his eyes that had been hastily dodged.

Well...... So Shiori Shinohara had already seen through him in the corridor just now, right? The joke was also a reminder not to mess around.

This student is too smart, isn't he?

Of course, it's also not frank.

"I've thought about the consequences." Tetsufumi Hirakawa just said that.

"To be indifferent to something unjust is in itself a laissez-faire connivance. As a teacher, I can't watch my students go through this. ”

"And I also promised Shinohara-san, and I'll convey the wishes you can't convey for you. Since you have promised, you must abide by it. ”

"As for the risks and consequences...... there is a saying in the Analects that says, 'Do what you know you can't do,' and this sentence will be taught in the Chinese language class. Besides, I don't think it's impossible. ”

"So, Shinohara-san, please rest assured."

As the sunset faded and the skyline shimmered, Shiori Shinohara followed Tetsufumi Hirakawa to the school gate.
