Just like the famous sentence "Winter is coming, will spring be far away", leaving aside the philosophical implications that extend from it, this is a very realistic sentence.

After the Shiori Shinohara incident came to an end for the time being, nothing happened on campus that made Tetsufumi Hirakawa sad. Time all the way across February, into March, deep winter, and towards early spring. The third semester was so fast.

The third graders are about to graduate, and the first and second graders are also preparing for the final exams and spring break every day.

As for the wind club, in addition to preparing for the exam, I am also preparing for the program to see off the third-year seniors at the graduation ceremony. As for what programs are there...... Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't understand it at all.

Although the Wind Orchestra invited him, a misdeserved instructor, to the meeting out of respect when discussing this matter, in the end he was a person who "must wander when there is a meeting".

I hated meetings in my last life, and I hate them in this life. The soul also has its own inertia.

Plus, he really doesn't know anything about these "instruments" and "music" and the like.

So at the end of the meeting, when Ogasa-sensei and the wind director asked him for his opinion, he couldn't say anything but "awesome".

The instructor has been reduced to the chief member of the cheerleading team, which is really miserable.

In this way, the third semester came to an end in a tense and hurried manner.

The graduation ceremony for the third-year students soon came to an end with a congratulatory message from the principal. Along with blessings and parting, the reluctance contained in the high-spirited music of the wind club, as well as ......

"Senpai, I like it! I like my predecessors the most! ”

In such an orange confession of love, the third-graders officially bid farewell to Moriya Private Girls' High School.

This is followed by the final exam. And speaking of final exams......

"When it comes to the final exam, I still think of the holidays."

"Let's take the holidays soon."

"I'm so tired......"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa's lazy voice sounded in the office many times, making Hinata Moshu next to him look at him several times.

And when he didn't know how many times he looked at the test papers on the table in a daze, Kuda Moshu finally couldn't help but remind.

Mr. Hirakawa...... Don't be in a daze. ”

However, when Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was immersed in his own world, turned his head to look at the female teacher, his reaction was: "Huh? Is Kuda-sensei talking to me? ”

“……”

is such a lazy appearance, which made Hinata Moshu look at Hirakawa Tetsufumi wordlessly for a long time.

"Only Hirakawa-sensei is so laid-back in the office, right?"

It's like criticizing a student.

So Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was criticized, turned his head and glanced at it, and in the office, several teachers were sitting at their workstations, basically looking like they were writing at their desks.

Because now is the time to mark the final exam papers.

"I'm almost done correcting."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who turned around behind him, said to Mr. Kuda with a serious face.

"Really?" The female teacher didn't believe it.

"Really." To prove his words, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sorted out the slightly messy test papers on the table, divided them into two stacks, and then held up the significantly thicker one and said, "I've finished grading so much." ”

"So fast?"

"Of course."

"I'll look at ......"

"Hey, Mr. Kuda, don't look like you're checking your students' homework." Tetsufumi Hirakawa protested against this.

So Hinata Moshu stopped what he was doing, stared at him, and stared at him until he was weak.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa retreated in defeat under this gaze.

"Okay, okay, I'll confess, Mr. Kuda."

A meticulous and simple female teacher is really terrible.

Hirakawa Tetsufumi thought silently and lifted the stack of test papers in his hand, so that a large stack of papers hidden under the few test papers that had been corrected on the surface, and there was no trace of correction at all, was exposed to Kuda Moshu's sight.

“……”

“……”

After staring at each other silently for several seconds, Hinata Moshu couldn't help but speak.

"Hirakawa-sensei."

"Yes."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked like a student admitting his mistake.

As a result, Kuda Moshu didn't know what to say. The serious young female teacher, looking at him, couldn't help but sigh at the end.

Mr. Hirakawa...... Why did you think of becoming a teacher......

After all, teachers always give people a sense of hard work. That's what she meant.

So Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought about it seriously.

"This one. It's a long story. ”

"Huh?"

"Probably the inertia of the soul."

"What's that?" The female teacher was puzzled.

Here's how he explains this:

"When I was very young, I went to a shrine and drew a Shinto sign at the shrine. Miss Miko, who was in charge of the unsealing, told me that I must have been a teacher in my last life. So, I had the idea of becoming a teacher ever since. ”

Quite a serious tone.

"Really?" The simple female teacher seems to believe it.

"Really."

Nodding solemnly.

“……”

“……”

After a moment of silence, Hisada Moki turned her head. A look of annoyance and anger that "I would believe that such a stupid thing is really unforgivable".

"Mr. Hirakawa, don't bother me with my work anymore."

Like the little girl next door who says, "I'll never play with you again". Obviously, she was the first to talk.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

But...... Why did he, who had always been lazy, become a teacher?

It's a long memory.
