On April 6, while students were still enjoying the last day of spring break — and of course more people were probably catching up on their homework — Tetsufumi Hirakawa's vacation was over.

As a class teacher, you need to go to school a day in advance to do some preparations for the start of school.

"Good morning, Mr. Kuda."

At the entrance of Moriya Private Girls' High School, Tetsufumi Hirakawa meets Maki Kuda, who also comes.

"Mr. Hirakawa, long time no see."

The female teacher, who was standing at the door and taking pictures with her mobile phone, had to put her mobile phone down.

"Take pictures?"

"The cherry blossoms are beautiful."

"Hmmm......"

Two rows of neat cherry trees are planted in the walkway at the entrance of Moriko Private Girls' High School, and it is a path where students can walk to school in the spring season.

But for Tetsufumi Hirakawa, so many cherry blossoms are a bit distressing.

The female teacher, who was obsessed with the cherry blossom view, finally noticed the mask on Tetsufumi Hirakawa's face.

"Mr. Hirakawa? This ......"

"Well, because there are too many cherry blossoms, I can't stand it."

Even though he was wearing a mask, Tetsufumi Hirakawa couldn't help but rub his nose.

Cherry blossoms, the most famous ornamental flowers in Japan, are really everywhere. Of course, it is also because of this that there are many hay fever patients who are affected by this in the country.

Sadly, Tetsufumi Hirakawa was one of them, but luckily his symptoms weren't too severe.

"It doesn't matter, right?" Kuda Moshu said with concern.

"It's okay, but fortunately, the cherry blossoms only bloom for a week."

After answering like this, Kuda Moshu still stared at him quite uneasily, thought about it, and said.

"Then Mr. Hirakawa, stay away from the cherry blossoms."

“……”

This kind of concern is very touching, but why is the tone so similar to that of a teacher or a parent? Tell "stay away from electrical appliances or something", such a tone.

Think of him as a student or a child.

Looking at Mr. Kuda, who was seriously concerned about him in front of him, Tetsufumi Hirakawa hesitated for a moment but still didn't say the complaint in his heart.

Mr. Kuda is really suitable to be a teacher. I can't even get rid of the image of a teacher in my daily life.

"Okay, got it. Let's go. ”

"Hmm."

So, together, the two walked into the campus from the middle of the road, as far away from the cherry trees as possible, and walked to the office.

Of course, there is also small talk on the way.

"Mr. Hirakawa, how was the holiday?"

"There's nothing to be dissatisfied with other than being too short."

"Two weeks is a long time, isn't it...... It's so laid-back that I always feel empty. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Even Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who always wants to relax, won't let himself be idle for too long.

"Then how did Hirakawa-sensei spend it?"

"I went to Hokkaido."

"Hokkaido?"

"yes. It's still snowing, so you can ski to your heart's content, and it's great to soak in the open-air bath on a snowy day. ”

"That's right...... I'm so envious. ”

"All of the above happened to me in my dreams."

"Huh......?" Kuda Moshu next to him blinked his innocent eyes.

"It's too tiring to travel or something, just think about it."

“…… Surprisingly, it fits Hirakawa-sensei's style. ”

"But I still went back to my hometown in Akita."

"Is Hirakawa-sensei from Akita Prefecture?"

"yes."

"Hmm......" Kuda Maki thought for a moment, "The only thing that can be thought of when it comes to Akita is Crayon Shin-chan." ”

"Grandpa from Akita, huh?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa laughed, "When I first knew it was Akita, I could think of this as well. ”

"Yes."

By the time he said this, the two had already arrived at the office, so the small talk stopped.

This was followed by a busy period of time, teaching materials for the new semester, a list of second-year classes, and information about the students...... The office will also be moved from the first floor to the second floor. If Mr. Kuda can't move, he will have to help.

Anyway, at the beginning of the new semester, there are quite a lot of things. By the time everything was almost ready, it was almost noon.

"I'm so tired." After being busy like this, Hirakawa Tetsufumi was naturally tired and collapsed on the chair.

"Yes, I'm in trouble with Mr. Hirakawa today." As a reward for helping, Kuda Moshu took a glass of water for him very kindly.

Although the glass of water evoked some kind of bad memories for a moment, he responded quickly to dismiss the bad thoughts.

"Thank you, Mr. Kuda."

"You're welcome. But...... Mr. Hirakawa, you still have a lot of things to deal with, and you can't rest yet. ”

“……”

In short, the caring teacher Kuda brought him a document.

"Mr. Hirakawa, as a class teacher, it is my duty to know more about the students."

“…… Okay. ”

After sighing, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to take over the materials in the hands of the female teacher. There are some things that can be lazy, but in terms of the duties of a teacher, Tetsufumi Hirakawa can't relax if he restrains himself.

People always have some rules of conduct.

With this in mind, Tetsufumi Hirakawa took the document and flipped through it.

At Moriya Private High School, students are reassigned classes every school year, and this document details the approximate family situation of the students in his class this school year, past grades, and records from previous three-way talks...... Such information.

There are many familiar students in the materials, such as Shiori Shinohara, the girl who is still in his A class - Tetsufumi Hirakawa is in charge of the Japanese language class in science.

“……”

So, why do you want to study finance at university...... It is very likely that Shiori Shinohara can't get rid of the fate.

But is this a good thing or a bad thing? The girl herself is indeed unwilling, but in fact, this is a prominent family background that many people can't envy.

In short, it is completely impossible to explain this matter.

Flipping through Shiori Shinohara's file with a feeling of not knowing what, Tetsufumi Hirakawa took a serious look at the materials of those strange students.

The fees of Moriya Private School are not low, and it can be said that it is an aristocratic girls' school, and the admission standards are also very high, so most of the students are quite good. At least there should be nothing to worry about Tetsufumi Hirakawa.

That's the good news. However, this good news lasted less than ten minutes.

Mr. Hida, who was sitting in his position and was also working hard, suddenly remembered something and turned around to remind him.

"Mr. Hiragawa, that ...... A classmate called Amamiya Night, you may want to pay special attention to it. ”

"Amamiya-san?"

After repeating it like this, Tetsufumi Hirakawa searched for it in the archives and indeed found a girl named Amamiya Night.

"What's wrong with this classmate? It doesn't look like there's a problem. ”

"I don't know, I haven't taught Amamiyaya-san. It's just Mr. Yamamoto, the homeroom teacher of Amamiya-san's first grade, who asked me to tell Mr. Hirakawa. ”

"This ...... Is that so? ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa, who was admonished like this, always felt a little bad.

What exactly does it take for a teacher to remind him to pay special attention to a student?

The answer to this question was answered a few days later.

After being late for several days in a row for the start of school, Tetsufumi Hirakawa had to find this girl named Amamiya for a consultation.

And then—

"Teacher, please don't meddle if you don't want to lose your job."

The girl standing in front of her turned her head and disappeared from Hirakawa Tetsufumi's sight after saying this, and the ponytail swept forcefully across his chest when she turned her head.

“……”

So let him say what?

Do these aristocratic ladies like to threaten teachers with their jobs? Still unreasonable?

Tetsufumi Hirakawa thought it was bad.
